BTWF One Night Stand: Legends Night

by EverlastingEvanescence

Once a year, BTWF pays tribute to the men and women who helped pave away for the Superstars of today. Whether in the doldrums of the 2000s of BTWF, or the beginning rise of the mid-late 90s, these Legends will be paid tribute to tonight while the wrestlers of today provide action with title matches, grudge matches, and much more.

BTWF One Night Stand: Legends Night (Part 2)

The camera panned to the stage, where 'MANTRA' by Bring Me The Horizon played, causing the crowd to boo as Bakugo came stomping out of the back, stopping at the top of the stage to raise both his fists up in the air. When he did, Pete Corvus, Kite, and Tsubaki came walking after him, with Corvus and Kite stopping at either side of Bakugo, and raising one of their fists up to fist bump Bakugo before the two began walking down the entranceway with Tsubaki following Corvus.

"The following contest is a 6-man tag team match scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, representing the NWO and accompanied to the ring by Tsubaki, they are the team of the BTWF Tag Team Champions Pete Corvus and Kite, and Katsuki Bakugo!" Tony Chimel announced. The crowd continued booing as Bakugo flipped off several members of the crowd in the front row who were booing the NWO. Corvus showed off the BTWF Tag Team Championship belt that was around his waist while Kite joined Bakugo in the trash talk that he was doing to the fans.

"Last night, not only did Bakugo have a pretty good showing in the BTWF Battle Riot despite not winning the match, but Corvus and Kite were also able to retain the BTWF Tag Team Championships at the same show!" Daffy exclaimed. Corvus and Tsubaki shared a kiss before Corvus followed Bakugo and Kite to the ringside area. Bakugo grabbed both Kite and Corvus, pulled them closer to him, and started whispering battle strategy to them, to which Corvus and Kite responded with a nod. While Kite and Corvus began walking up the steel steps to get into the ring, Bakugo also gave some game plan to Tsubaki, who gave him a thumbs-up in response before Bakugo followed Kite and Corvus.

"Bakugo looks to lead himself and two other members of the NWO to another victory with the momentum Jellal got them earlier giving them added confidence," Cinder explained as all three men went into the ring, with Corvus and Kite going into the corner, jumping up to the middle turnbuckles, taking the BTWF Tag Team Championship belts off of around their waist, and raised them over their heads with one hand. Bakugo went in between Kite and Corvus and raised both fists in the air while the crowd continued booing them.

"This could also be another chance for Bakugo to get his hands on the BTWF World Heavyweight Champion. He does still consider that belt his after all," Mauro explained as Bakugo walked into the corner, telling Kite and Corvus to come down, which they did. The crowd began cheering as 'Speedom' by Tech N9ne (feat. Eminem and Krizz Kaliko) played, revealing Hitman Jones running out of the back, and jumping onto the stage. Hitman nodded at the cheering crowd before pointing to the back, revealing Mirio coming out as 'Hero' by Issues played.

"And introducing their opponents first, the team of Mirio Togata and 'Ace' Hitman Jones, the Power of Flight!" Tony Chimel announced as Mirio went to the center of the stage, and flexed, causing pyro to shoot out of the stage as Hitman jumped all the way over Mirio, rolled to the middle of the stage, and once again pointed to Mirio while Corvus and Kite started yelling at the two, telling them that they were just going to lose again. Hitman told them that the merchandise was going to be left in the back for this match as Mirio caught up to Hitman, and patted him on the back.

"A couple of nights ago at the Battle Riot, Hitman and Mirio came close as one can get to the BTWF Tag Team Championships, but Corvus and Kite were able to keep a tight grip around those championships!" Cinder exclaimed as Mirio jumped up onto the ring apron, but when he did, the crowd booed as Bakugo and Kite ran up to him, and started clubbing Mirio in the back and face. Hitman attempted to intervene, but Corvus ran through the ropes to hit him with a Suicide Dive, punching him in the face once he was grounded.

"This must've been the strategy that the NWO had planned; make sure that Hitman and Mirio aren't 100% when the match starts!" Daffy exclaimed as Bakugo and Kite hit a Double Vertical Suplex onto Mirio, sending him into the ring. However, before Bakugo and Kite could do anything else, the lights in the arena went out briefly, and then when the lights came back on, the crowd exploded into cheers as BTWF World Heavyweight Champion Zancrow appeared in the middle of the ring. Kite attempted to get the first strike on Zancrow, but Zancrow blocked Kite's attempt at a punch and sent him falling back with a punch to the face of his own.

"And the BTWF World Heavyweight Champion Zancrow is here to make the save, sending Kite flying away with a punch to the face!" Mauro exclaimed as Bakugo attempted to club Zancrow, but Zancrow grabbed Bakugo by the throat, and threw him into the corner, hitting him with multiple strikes to the chest and face. Corvus noticed this, went into the ring, and grabbed Zancrow by the leg, attempting to push him down, but Zancrow knocked Corvus on his back with a Back Elbow to the side of the head. Zancrow grabbed Corvus by the hair and threatened the referee into starting the match, which he did by telling the timekeeper to ring the bell.

"And thanks to Zancrow coming out to even the odds, this six-man tag team match can start proper!" Cinder exclaimed as Zancrow grabbed Corvus, threw him into the same corner that Bakugo was in, and hit him with multiple punches to the gut and the face before throwing him out of the corner with a Scoop Slam. The crowd continued cheering as Zancrow hit Corvus with a Jumping Leg Drop across the throat before picking Corvus back up and sending him into the corner. Zancrow started hitting multiple back elbows to the side of Corvus' head, allowing Hitman to tag himself into the match after he jumped back onto the apron.

"Zancrow doesn't look too impressed with Hitman tagging himself into the match, but he doesn't look like he's going to stop Hitman," Cinder noted as Hitman ran the ropes for the One-Man Poetry in Motion. However, Zancrow grabbed Hitman, and threw him hard into Corvus, giving even more force to the One-Man Poetry in Motion. Hitman then threw Corvus out of the corner with a Monkey Flip before jumping up to the middle turnbuckle and hitting Corvus with a Twisting Leg Drop across Corvus' throat before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…

"An impressive display of athleticism by Hitman, but Corvus was still able to kick out," Daffy noted as Hitman grabbed Corvus by the hair, and hit him with a couple of Knife-Edge Chops to the chest, but Corvus raked Hitman's eye as a counter before tagging Kite into the match. Kite ran at Hitman, but Hitman hit Kite with two Japanese Arm Drags, a Dropkick, and a Hurricanrana, sending Kite rolling into the corner. Hitman tagged Mirio into the match, and Hitman Irish whipped Kite into the ropes, which Mirio responded to by getting into the ring and hitting Kite with a Reverse Atomic Drop. Mirio kept Kite in his grasp, allowing Hitman to springboard off of the middle rope, and hit Kite with a Springboard Kick to the side of the head, which allowed Mirio to hit Kite with a hard Spinebuster before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2

"Hitman and Mirio showing the BTWF Tag Team Champions why they shouldn't be forgotten about and called a filler team!" Mauro exclaimed as Mirio hit several punches to the side of Kite's head before hitting him with a couple of Backbreakers, and then hitting him with a Fallaway Slam. Mirio kipped up to his feet and knocked Corvus and Bakugo off of the ring apron with a Double Running Clothesline. Kite started getting back to his feet, but Mirio responded by hitting him with a Twisting Leg Lariat, sending Kite staggering into the corner. Mirio started punching Kite into the corner, but Zancrow tagged himself in, causing the crowd to cheer louder as Mirio looked at Zancrow with a raised eyebrow.

"Zancrow paying Hitman back for that blind tag earlier in the match," Daffy noted as Mirio nodded before telling Zancrow to have at it. Zancrow nodded before grabbing Kite by the throat and throwing him out of the corner. Kite crawled to the ropes, trying to ask for mercy, but Zancrow responded with multiple stomps to the back and chest of Kite, sending him rolling onto the apron. Zancrow then ran the ropes, and hit a Running Baseball Slide Dropkick to the back, sending Kite crashing into the apron. However, before Zancrow could pull himself back into the ring, Bakugo grabbed Zancrow's leg and smashed the back of it into the ring apron several times before pushing him back.

"Bakugo immediately going after the leg, which is a smart move when you battle a Powerhouse like Zancrow!" Mauro exclaimed as while Bakugo was mocking and bragging to the fans, the crowd cheered as Hitman ran the ropes, and sent Bakugo crashing into the fan barricade chest first. Corvus responded to this by hitting Hitman with a Clothesline hard enough to send him twisting in the air. The crowd began booing as Corvus grabbed Hitman, and hit him with multiple punches to the side of the head, but didn't notice Mirio running on the apron, and flying off, hitting Corvus with a Flying Shoulder Block.

"This match devolving into chaos once again, as every member of this match is outside except for Zancrow—which is about to change!" Mauro exclaimed as Zancrow ran the ropes, and hit a Vaulting Dive over the top rope, sending all five men down to the ground. The crowd continued cheering as Zancrow grabbed the legal man, Kite, by the hair, and dragged him back to the ring, throwing him back into it. The crowd continued cheering as Zancrow got onto the apron, and springboarded into the ring, hitting Kite across the throat with a Springboard Leg Drop before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2

"Zancrow sending everyone down with that fantastic dive, and is continuing his dominance in the ring!" Cinder exclaimed as Zancrow started climbing up to the top turnbuckle, but before he could do anything on the top rope, Bakugo had gotten up on the ring apron, and tripped him up, putting Zancrow in a Tree of Woe position. The crowd booed as Bakugo got back into his corner, allowing Kite to stagger back to his feet, and run into the corner, hitting Zancrow in the gut with a Running Knee to the chest. The crowd continued booing as Kite hit several more Running Knees to an upside-down Zancrow.

"Bakugo, just like that, putting control back into the corner of the NWO, allowing Kite to get some more licks in on the BTWF World Heavyweight Champion!" Mauro exclaimed as Kite tagged Bakugo into the match. The crowd booed as while the referee was trying to help Zancrow down, Bakugo ran into the corner and started stomping on Zancrow's right knee. The crowd continued booing as Bakugo pulled Zancrow to the top turnbuckle, and started clubbing Zancrow in the back before hitting him with a Top Rope Shin Breaker. Bakugo then sent Zancrow back down with a Back Suplex before going for another pinfall, hooking both of Zancrow's legs back.

Ref: 1…2.

"Zancrow's face has contorted into pain with that top rope Shin Breaker! And look at how hard Zancrow's holding his right leg!" Cinder exclaimed as Bakugo grabbed Zancrow's leg, and stomped on the back of his knee before tagging Corvus into the match. Corvus ran into the ring, grabbed Zancrow's other leg, and hit Zancrow with a Wishbone, and when Zancrow was in a seated position, Corvus ran the ropes and hit a Running Big Boot to the face and when he fell down, Bakugo ran the ropes and hit a Pinpoint Elbow Drop to Zancrow's face. Corvus and Bakugo then flipped Mirio and Hitman off before Corvus hit a Jumping Senton onto Zancrow's right leg.

"Corvus' more than 230-pound frame falling right on the side of Zancrow's leg!" Mauro exclaimed while wincing as Corvus grabbed Zancrow's leg, and pulled him into his corner, stomping on the side of Zancrow's right leg, keeping his foot on the side of his leg before tagging Kite back into the match. Corvus grabbed Zancrow from behind, allowing Kite to kick him in the right knee, and started punching him in the side of the head. The crowd continued booing as Kite hit Zancrow with a Swinging Neckbreaker before going for the pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.

Ref: 1…2.

"Kite getting a close two count on Zancrow, who's still trying to get feeling back in his right leg!" Cinder exclaimed as Kite continued stomping on Zancrow's right leg before grabbing him by the hair, and dragging him to the ropes. Kite draped Zancrow's head over the middle rope, and started choking him by pressing his knee into Zancrow's back. The referee then pulled Kite away from Zancrow, and while the referee was distracted, Corvus hit a Running Leg Drop across the back of Zancrow's head. Kite ran back into the ropes, hitting a Leaping Body Guillotine onto Zancrow's back.

"The NWO showing their impressive teamwork, with all three members in-sync with each other!" Daffy exclaimed as Kite grabbed Zancrow by the hair, but Zancrow started punching Kite in the gut, causing the crowd to cheer as Bakugo leaned in, and tagged Kite. The crowd booed as Bakugo jumped up to the top rope, and while Zancrow attempted to hit the Chokeslam on Kite, Bakugo hit Zancrow with a Diving Double Ax Handle to the top of the head. Bakugo and Kite then put Zancrow in a Double Front Facelock and hit Zancrow with a Double DDT before going for a pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

"Their teamwork may be impressive, but Zancrow's resiliency is just as impressive, with Zancrow continuing to fight despite the crippling pain in his leg," Mauro noted as Bakugo grabbed Zancrow's right leg, and started smashing the side of his leg into the ring canvas multiple times before dropping a knee onto the side of Zancrow's leg. Zancrow tried to pull himself back to his feet, but Bakugo hit him with several punches to the side of the head before kicking him in the gut, telling Zancrow that he should never have been the BTWF World Heavyweight Champion. Bakugo then stomped on the back of Zancrow's leg, continuing to yell at Zancrow that he was going to take the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship back.

"Bakugo seems to still remember Zancrow taking the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship away from him at Trouble in Tokyo, and of course, he's still upset about it!" Cinder exclaimed as Bakugo started stomping on the side of Zancrow's leg, arm, and head before running the ropes and hitting a Jumping Stomp to the side of the face. Bakugo grabbed Zancrow, threw him into the corner, and hit him with multiple Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before running the ropes, and hitting Zancrow with a Running Knee Strike to the face. However, when he went for another one, the crowd exploded as Zancrow grabbed Bakugo in mid-air, and put him in a Powerbomb position.

"Oh! Zancrow caught Bakugo! Despite all the pain in his leg, Zancrow is holding Bakugo over his head!" Daffy exclaimed as, despite Bakugo trying to punch his way out of the Powerbomb, Zancrow got the crowd on their feet when he sent Bakugo crashing to the mat with a Last Ride Powerbomb. However, due to the pain in his leg, Zancrow wasn't able to capitalize on this big move with a pinfall as he held his leg in pain while Bakugo gripped his back in pain. After a couple of moments on the ground, Zancrow started dragging himself to his corner, which Bakugo attempted to stop by grabbing his leg, but the crowd cheered as Zancrow was able to send the back of his leg crashing into Bakugo's neck multiple times.

"Zancrow using the power in his good leg to make sure Bakugo can't pull him away from his corner!" Mauro exclaimed as Zancrow was able to get into his corner, and tag Hitman into the match. The crowd exploded into cheers as Hitman springboarded into the ring and hit a standing and staggering Bakugo with a Springboard Dropkick. Hitman springboarded onto the second rope and knocked Kite off of the apron with a Springboard Triangle Dropkick before hitting a Running Shooting Star Press onto Bakugo's chest. The crowd continued cheering as Hitman hit a Standing Twisting Leg Drop across Bakugo's throat before springboarding off of the middle rope, and hitting Bakugo with a Springboard Moonsault.

"Hitman using all the excess energy that he had waiting in the corner, flying all over the ring!" Cinder exclaimed as Hitman grabbed Bakugo by the hair, and hit him with a Jumping Sit-Out Facebuster before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

Corvus ran into the ring, kicking Hitman in the back before pulling him off of Bakugo. However, the crowd cheered as Mirio ran into the ring, and knocked him down with a Flying Leg Lariat. Mirio then picked Corvus back up and threw him out of the ring, but before he could go back to the apron, Kite grabbed Mirio's legs and attempted to pull him out of the ring. Mirio responded by pushing Kite away with his feet before following him out of the ring, hitting him with several punches to the side of the head.

"Mirio brawling with one-half of the BTWF Tag Team Champions on the outside, preventing him from interfering anymore!" Mauro exclaimed as in the ring, Hitman attempted to hit another Springboard move, but Bakugo was able to raise his knees up, sending Hitman crashing onto Bakugo's knees. The crowd booed as Bakugo grabbed Hitman, and threw him into Zancrow's gut, sending him falling off of the apron and on his sides. The crowd cheered and booed accordingly as Bakugo and Hitman exchanged strikes in the middle of the ring, but Bakugo responded by kneeing him in the gut and hitting him with a Snap DDT. Meanwhile on the outside, while Mirio attempted to hit Kite with a Powerslam, Corvus hit Mirio in the back of the leg with a Chop Block.

"The BTWF Tag Team Champions are taking Mirio out on the outside while Bakugo is regaining the advantage in the ring!" Daffy exclaimed as Kite and Corvus grabbed Mirio, and threw him head first into the side of the steel steps. The crowd continued booing as in the ring, Bakugo threw Hitman into the corner, sending his face crashing into the top turnbuckle. Bakugo started punching Hitman in the gut and the chest before hitting him with a German Suplex. Bakugo then ran the ropes and hit a seated Hitman with a Big Boot to the side of the head before pinning him while hooking both of his legs back.

Ref: 1…2.

On the outside of the ring, Corvus and Kite started stomping on Zancrow's legs and sides, and after the beating, Corvus and Kite ran back to their apron. The crowd booed as Bakugo pushed his foot into Hitman's throat before tagging Corvus back into the match. Bakugo picked Hitman up and held both of his arms back, allowing Corvus to hit some unprotected punches to Hitman's gut.

"Corvus and Kite putting Zancrow and Mirio down, leaving Hitman all by himself!" Daffy exclaimed as Corvus grabbed Hitman, and threw him into the corner before hitting him with a Running Clothesline to the throat, sending Hitman falling down into a seated position in front of the bottom turnbuckle. Corvus then started choking Hitman with his boot before running the ropes, and hitting Hitman in the side of the face with a Running Face Wash. Corvus then flipped Mirio off before running the ropes again, and hitting Hitman with a Jumping Corner Cannonball, dragging her out of the corner and into the center of the ring for the pin.

Ref: 1…2..

"Hitman barely kicking out again, and Mirio looks nearly desperate to get back into the ring!" Cinder exclaimed as Corvus grabbed Hitman by the hair, slapped him in the face a couple of times, and attempted to hit him with a scoop slam. The crowd exploded as Hitman was able to counter this Scoop Slam into a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors, sending Corvus falling towards his corner. Bakugo took advantage of this by tagging himself back into the match. The crowd booed as before Hitman could get to his corner, Bakugo hit Hitman in the back of the head with a Running Forearm to the back of the head while Zancrow was pulling himself back to his feet.

"Bakugo is back in the match, and he was smartly able to prevent Hitman from making the tag to a much fresher Mirio!" Mauro exclaimed as Bakugo picked Hitman up, and hit him with a Stunner before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2..

Hitman kicked out, and Bakugo became furious enough to mount Hitman, and start punching him in the side of the face multiple times before picking him back up and hitting him with a Neckbreaker. Bakugo then got up to the middle rope and attempted to hit Hitman with a Middle Rope Pinpoint Elbow, but Hitman was able to roll out of the way. The crowd cheered as Bakugo got back to his feet while holding his arm, but when he attempted to grab Hitman's leg, Hitman kipped up to his feet and knocked Bakugo back down with an Enziguri.

"Hitman finally giving himself some reprieve, but can he use this time to make it to his corner!?" Daffy asked as Hitman started dragging himself to his corner, and despite Bakugo's best efforts in keeping him away from his corner, Hitman was able to jump into his corner and tag Mirio into the match. The crowd exploded into cheers as Mirio jumped over the top rope, and turned Bakugo inside out with a Running Clothesline. The crowd continued cheering as Mirio knocked Corvus and Kite off of the apron with hard punches to the jaw. Bakugo got back to his feet, and Mirio responded with two Running Double Ax Handles, a Sidewalk Slam/Backbreaker combination, and then ran the ropes to hit Bakugo with a Jumping Leg Drop across the throat before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2..

Mirio brushed off the fact that Bakugo kicked out, grabbed him, and threw him into the corner, hitting him with a Jumping Corner Clothesline before sending him out of the corner with a Falcon Arrow.

"Mirio on Bakugo like white on rice, and this may be the end for the NWO here!" Cinder exclaimed as Mirio jumped up onto the middle rope, and hit Bakugo with a Diving Middle Rope Elbow Drop. However, before he could make the cover, Corvus came running back into the ring and started stomping on Mirio's back and chest. This prompted Hitman to Springboard back into the ring and hit Corvus with a Springboard Uppercut with enough force to send him falling out of the ring. Hitman then ran the ropes and hit a Sliding Splash from underneath the bottom ropes and onto Corvus' chest.

"Some innovative offense by Hitman makes sure that Corvus is out of commission!" Mauro exclaimed as Bakugo got back up, and attempted to hit Mirio with a Stunner, but Mirio was able to push him into the corner, hit him in the back with a Running Stinger Splash, and send him overhead with a Fallaway Pumphandle Slam. The crowd continued cheering as Mirio signaled for the SuperPOWER Slam (Jeff Cobb's Tour of the Islands), but the crowd booed as Kite pulled Bakugo closer to his corner, tagged himself in, and rolled Bakugo out of the ring and out of harm's way before running at Mirio with a Shotgun Dropkick to the chest, sending Mirio crashing into the corner.

"There was a lot of power behind that Dropkick to the chest! I wouldn't be surprised if Mirio's out of breath from that one!" Cinder exclaimed as Kite ran the ropes, told the crowd to 'Suck It!', and ran into the corner, attempting a Stinger Splash of his own. However, the crowd cheered as Mirio was able to catch Kite with a Uranage, and planted him into the ground before noticing Zancrow was back on the apron, noticeably not putting a lot of pressure on his right leg, demanding a tag from Mirio with the sharp glare in his eyes. Mirio looked around at the cheering crowd and nodded before tagging Zancrow into the ring and running the ropes to hit a Suicide Forearm onto a standing Bakugo, sending both of them crashing onto the steel entrance ramp.

"Zancrow is back in the match now, but how smart is it with his leg in that bad of shape that he can't even put weight on it!?" Daffy asked as Zancrow surprised everyone by pulling himself up to the top turnbuckle with his arms, balancing himself on the top rope, and hitting Kite with a Diving Leg Drop to the throat, causing the crowd to explode into cheers before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

Zancrow laid down next to Kite, holding his leg in pain while Kite attempted to grab the rope to pull himself back to his feet. After a moment, and Kite thought that he had it won, the crowd exploded as Zancrow sat up and stood back on his feet, the pain in his leg seemingly gone as Kite jumped back in shock. Zancrow didn't give Kite any time to process what happened as Zancrow repeatedly hit Kite with left and right hands, sending him into the corner before running the ropes and hitting a Jumping Knee to the face.

"Zancrow's back from the dead it seems! You couldn't even tell that he could barely walk just a minute ago!" Mauro exclaimed as Zancrow picked Kite up, and hit him with the Snake Eyes on the top turnbuckle before running the ropes, and knocking Kite back down with a Big Boot. Bakugo attempted to get back into the ring, but Mirio grabbed Bakugo from behind and hit him with a Back Suplex that sent him crashing onto the floor. Zancrow then prepared for the Chokeslam, waiting for Kite to get back to his feet, and when Kite got back up, Zancrow grabbed Kite by the throat. Corvus slid into the ring and Superkicked Zancrow in the side of the face, but the crowd exploded as Zancrow responded by staring a hole through Corvus and grabbing him by the throat too.

"Zancrow's on a completely different hemisphere right now! And not even a hard Superkick by Corvus could affect him!" Mauro exclaimed as Zancrow hit both Corvus and Kite with Chokeslams. The crowd continued cheering as Zancrow picked Corvus back up by the back of the throat, and hit him with the Penalty (Reverse Chokeslam) before pushing him out of the ring with his foot. Meanwhile, on the outside of the ring, Bakugo sent Mirio down with a Low Blow Mule Kick, but when he attempted to get back into the ring, Hitman jumped and hit a Suicide DDT onto Bakugo, sending his head crashing onto the padded concrete.

"Corvus and Bakugo have been taken out, leaving the World Heavyweight Champion all alone with Kite!" Daffy exclaimed as Zancrow looked at the cheering crowd, and made them cheer even louder after doing the slit-throat taunt to them. Zancrow picked Kite up and hit him with the Leaping Tombstone Piledriver before pinning him, placing Kite's arms around his chest while sticking his tongue out at the cheering fans.

*Bell Rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, Mirio Togata, 'Ace' Hitman Jones, and the BTWF World Heavyweight Champion, Zancrow!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued their cheering as Zancrow seemed to have run out of adrenaline, as he fell to one knee, with his good knee supporting his body as the referee went to grab the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship. Hitman, on the outside, was helping Mirio back to his feet, telling him that they won as the referee got the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship back from the ringside attendant.

"The NWO hitting a couple of roadblocks on the Road to StarShow tonight, and those roadblocks are named Zancrow, Mirio, and Hitman!" Mauro exclaimed as Mirio and Hitman rolled into the ring, helping Zancrow up to his feet as they celebrated while Zancrow looked at them with a steely glare still on his face. Meanwhile, Bakugo got back to his feet, kicked the steel steps in frustration with losing, and grabbed Corvus and Kite before telling Tsubaki to get the BTWF Tag Team Championships while he tried to wake Corvus and Kite up.

"The NWO may have come up short tonight, but you can bet your bottom dollar that Bakugo will have a response to this soon!" Daffy countered as Zancrow let go of Hitman and Mirio, and hobbled over to the ropes. Zancrow looked over at Mirio and Hitman, and gave them a simple nod of respect, causing the crowd to cheer while a now conscious Corvus was helping keep Kite on his feet while Tsubaki held both BTWF Tag Team Championship belts. Bakugo yelled at Zancrow that this wasn't over and he was coming for his belt back.

"Zancrow has fought Bakugo off before, but Bakugo has to believe that in the back of his mind that his luck is going to run out!" Cinder exclaimed as Hitman got onto the top rope, pointed at Kite and Corvus, and told them that they were still coming after the BTWF Tag Team Championships. Tsubaki and Corvus both yelled back that Hitman and Mirio were never going to win the BTWF Tag Team Championships from them, and that the NWO was going to hold all of the gold.

"The BTWF Tag Team Champions also seem to have a target on their backs, with Mirio and Hitman looking to strike once again!" Mauro exclaimed as the camera panned to the TitanTron, where a British Flag appeared on the screen before fading into the entrance for the British Invasion (Jerry Lewis and 'Gentle Criminal' Danjuro Tobita), where they both waved the British Flag in the air and got the fans to boo them almost immediately.

"If there was a tag team you loved to hate in the mid-late 90s, it was Jerry Lewis and Danjuro Tobita, the British Invasion," current BTWF commentator Rintaro Okabe explained as, in their debut match, the British Invasion destroyed a local team, with Gentle hitting one man with a Running Powerslam, allowing Jerry Lewis to hit a Diving Knee Drop from the top rope before they went for the pinfall, and grabbed microphones from the ringside attendant.

"My name is Danjuro Tobita, and this gentleman next to me is Jerry Lewis. You may call us the British Invasion and we're here to bring class back to the sport of professional wrestling," Gentle explained to the booing fans while Jerry continued waving the British flag next to him. The footage then showed the British Invasion continuing to gain momentum as they finally met the BTWF Tag Team Champions, Le Sex Gods (Glenn Quagmire and Johnny Bravo) at the BTWF Battle Riot PPV.

"In only a few months on the roster, the British Invasion gained enough momentum to be considered legitimate threats to the champions, who have been an established tag team for years at that point," BTWF Hall of Famer All Might explained as the footage cut to the end of the match, where when Quagmire attempted to hit a Diving Double Ax Handle onto a dazed Gentle, Gentle was able to catch him in mid-air, and hit him with a Standing Delayed Vertical Suplex before picking him up, flexing to the booing crowd, and hitting him with a Running Powerslam.

"Gentle not only had the stamina to match up with me in the ring, but he also had the strength to give us some variety of what we could do in terms of tag team maneuvers," BTWF Hall of Famer Jerry Lewis explained as Gentle tagged Jerry back into the ring, picked him up in a Gorilla Press position, climbed up to the middle turnbuckle, and allowed Jerry to hit a Diving Knee Drop onto Quagmire with a little more air and height behind it. Before Johnny could get into the ring to intervene, Gentle knocked Johnny off of the apron with a Big Boot, allowing Jerry to make the pinfall and win the titles.

"When they won the tag team titles, nobody knew that it was going to be a reign that went on for almost two years, which is a record that hasn't been broken since," current BTWF superstar Shinji Ikari explained as footage showed them defeating various tag teams, such as Beavis and Butthead, Lenny & Carl, Rodolfo Rivera & Bruno Madrigal, etc. However, things would take a much more intense turn when they came across Arthur Morgan and Dutch Van Der Linde on the Road to Starshow in 1999.

"Ha ha ha…now THIS was fun," Current BTWF Manager and BTWF Hall of Famer Dutch laughed to himself, reminiscing to himself as the footage then showed Jerry and Gentle hosting a tea party with Arthur and Dutch, constantly insulting America and Dutch & Arthur's cowboy antics, which caused Arthur and Dutch to attack Jerry and Gentle. The crowd exploded when Dutch sent the teapot crashing and shattering on top of Gentle's head, while Arthur threw tea in Jerry's eyes, put him on the table they had the tea on and sent him through the table with a Diving Leg Drop.

"When we came into the BTWF, we were just the new team that hadn't made many appearances in the BTWF or even had any major victories, but Jerry and Gentle were so hated by the fans, that the fans really had no choice but to give them a chance, and I think that we did a great job," current BTWF General Manager and BTWF Hall of Famer Arthur Morgan explained, laughing to himself as the footage showed another brawl between the two teams, this time with the British Invasion coming out on top as Gentle hit the Running Powerslam on Dutch, sending him crashing onto the hood of a car.

"Tag team wrestling always has mixed reception when it comes to drawing power, but the British Invasion vs. Red Dead Redemption was one of the top-selling matches at StarShow 1999," current BTWF commentator Jim Cornette explained as the footage panned to StarShow, where, in a tag team street fight for the BTWF Tag Team Championships, Arthur and Dutch hit Jerry with the Sidewinder through a wooden table, and while everyone involved in the match was caked in blood, Arthur ran the ropes and vaulted himself over the top rope, sending himself crashing into Gentle. This allowed Dutch to get the winning pinfall and win Red Dead Redemption the BTWF Tag Team Championships.

"I can still hear the cheers from that night. People were so happy that Dutch and Arthur won, and that made us happy because Jerry and I had done our jobs well," BTWF Hall of Famer and current BTWF trainer 'Gentle Criminal' Danjuro Tobita explained as the footage showed the rest of 1999 for the British Invasion, with them feuding with other teams, and causing the breakup between Bruno Madrigal and Rodolfo Rivera. After suffering a severe back injury at a live event, Jerry Lewis had to retire early from wrestling. Their team may have ended in a sudden and unceremonious fashion, but their imprint on the history of BTWF is not something that can be as easily taken away.

"You know, myself and Jerry are both happy with our careers. We accomplished a lot in our short time in the BTWF as wrestlers, and thanks to our hard work, we became talented enough to be trusted with the newest wrestlers in the BTWF, and I'll forever be grateful for that," BTWF Hall of Famer and current BTWF trainer 'Gentle Criminal' Danjuro Tobita explained as the camera faded to black with one last shot of the British Invasion holding the BTWF Tag Team Championships before the camera panned back to the stage.

'Heroes of Today' by Once Monsters played, causing the crowd to cheer as Valentino came out of the back, with Frida holding his arm as he pointed one finger in the sky, telling the crowd that he and Baam were getting their championships back. Valentino then shot his fist up before 'Born to Win' by Mutiny Within played, with the crowd continuing to cheer as Baam came running out of the back, with Rachel following him. Some of the crowd began booing, with their ire directed at Rachel, and Rachel responded by telling Baam to focus on winning the titles back.

"The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall, and it is for the BTWF World Tag Team Championships! Introducing the challengers, accompanied to the ring by Frida Suarez and Rachel Light, they are the team of Valentino Calavera and Baam!" Tony Chimel announced as Frida glared at Rachel before Valentino and Baam hi-fived each other before they both began walking to the ring. Valentino and Baam began high-fiving fans in the front row while Rachel continued going over strategy with Baam, and reminding him to focus.

"Rachel continuing to cause tension between this championship-winning team, thanks to her constant argument starting with Frida," Mauro noted as Frida told Rachel to leave Baam alone and that Baam had everything under control. Rachel countered this by telling Frida that this was a championship match and that Baam needed all the preparation that he could get. Baam looked uncomfortable with the two girls fighting, but Valentino turned him around and told him not to worry about it and to let Frida and Rachel solve their problems themselves.

"I don't know why Frida has such a problem with Rachel. I personally find Rachel to be absolutely delightful," Cinder responded as Baam looked back at Frida and Rachel arguing before nodding and following Valentino to the ringside area. Baam rolled underneath the bottom rope while Valentino ran up the steel steps, went to the center of the ring apron, and jumped over the top rope as Baam rolled to the center of the ring. Baam got onto his knees and raised both of his fists up while Valentino shot his fist back in the air, causing the crowd to cheer louder as Rachel and Frida stopped their argument long enough to walk to the ringside area.

"It somehow doesn't surprise me that you'd think that," Mauro mumbled to himself before Valentino and Baam went into their corner as 'Sound of Madness' by Shinedown played, causing the crowd to boo as Joe and Charlie came out, with Charlie holding his BTWF World Tag Team Championship belt in his teeth. Manabo accompanied them from the back, putting a hand on both Joe's and Charlie's back, telling them that this was going to be a walk in the park, and Joe agreed.

"And introducing the champions, accompanied to the ring by Manabo and representing the Chaos Conspiracy, from Tom's River New Jersey, they are the BTWF World Tag Team Champions, the team of Joe Wolf and Charlie Bonifer!" Tony Chimel announced. The crowd continued booing as Bonifer grimaced at the fans before taking the championship belt out of his mouth, and raising the championship over his head. Joe and Manabo simply looked and smirked at each other before following Bonifer down the entranceway.

"You know, I was initially skeptical, but since the Chaos Conspiracy dropped their old manager, they've been handling themselves pretty well, and I think that good luck is only going to continue," Daffy explained. Bonifer looked as though he was about to pounce on several fans booing him, but Joe and Manabo pulled Bonifer back, telling him to calm down and focus his aggression on Valentino and Baam. Valentino and Baam kept an eye on not only the BTWF World Tag Team Champions, but Manabo as well, who they know could be the X-factor in their title match.

"And with Manabo in their corner, they have a huge advantage heading into their second BTWF World Tag Team Championship defense," Cinder explained as Bonifer and Joe gave Manabo both of their BTWF World Tag Team Championship belts before Joe rolled into the ring from underneath the bottom rope. The crowd continued booing as Bonifer walked up the steel steps, and jumped over the top rope before attempting to stomp over to Valentino and Baam, but Joe grabbed him by the back of his singlet, once again telling him to calm down as the referee made sure that both teams were separated.

"And this time, they only have one time to deal with, unlike last time, where they had three other teams to defeat," Mauro responded as the referee made sure both teams were ready before telling the timekeeper to ring the bell. Once the bell rang, and Joe and Baam were chosen as the legal men, Joe and Baam locked up in the middle of the ring, and Baam was able to trap Joe in a Wristlock. The crowd cheered as Joe attempted to make it to the ropes for a ropebreak, but Baam was able to counter by sending Joe down with a Hip Toss. Rachel nodded in approval as Baam grabbed Joe's arm, attempting to lock him in an armbar, but the crowd booed as Joe grabbed the ropes, forcing the referee to break the hold.

"Joe wisely got the ropebreak before Baam could do any damage to his arm," Daffy explained as Joe attempted to punch Baam in the face when he got up, but Baam was able to grab his fist, take him back down with a Japanese Arm Drag, and lock him the armbar he had tried previously, causing the crowd to cheer. Joe attempted to get to the ropebreak again, but Baam pulled him away from the ropes and attempted to take him back down to the mat, but Joe kneed Baam in the gut. The crowd booed as Joe attempted to put Baam in a side headlock, but the crowd cheered as Baam was able to slide out of it, hit Joe with a Northern Lights Suplex, deadlift him back up, and hit him with a Suplex Neckbreaker.

"Baam showing off some strength that we've never really seen from him before, and Rachel looks actually impressed on the outside!" Mauro exclaimed as Baam grabbed Joe by the arm, wrung his arm, and dragged him to the corner before tagging Valentino into the match. The crowd cheered as Joe attempted to pull himself out of Baam's grasp, but Valentino went onto the middle rope and hit a Middle Rope Double Axe Handle crashing into the middle of Joe's arm. The crowd continued cheering as Valentino hit Joe with a couple of body punches to the gut before running the ropes and hitting a Jumping Crossbody before rolling into a pin.

Ref: 1…

Valentino responded to Joe kicking out by picking him up by the ears and attempted to put him in position for a Belly-2-Belly Suplex, but Joe was able to slip his arms out of Valentino's grasp, and hit him in the sides of the head with a Bell Clap, causing the crowd to boo before rolling into his corner, and tagging Bonifer into the match.

"And Joe now has his big man coming into the match, as the slightly unhinged Bonifer comes into the match," Cinder explained as Bonifer jumped over the top rope, and licked his lips as he told Valentino that he wanted a test of strength. Valentino raised an eyebrow but agreed as he raised his hand up to grab Bonifer's, Bonifer attempted to kick Valentino in the gut, but Valentino countered by grabbing his foot and pushing him into the corner. The crowd cheered as Bonifer pounded the top turnbuckle in frustration before attempting to run at Valentino with a Clothesline, but Valentino was able to counter this with a high Back Body Drop.

"The height Valentino threw Bonifer into the air! That is incredible!" Mauro exclaimed as Valentino put Bonifer in a seated position, and ran the ropes to hit Bonifer with a seated Running Crossbody before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…

Bonifer attempted to roll back to his feet, but Valentino pulled Bonifer up by his hair and started hitting him with a couple of elbows to the top of the head before tagging Baam back into the match. The crowd, and their representatives outside, were cheering as Valentino hit Bonifer with a Reverse Atomic Drop, put him in a Bearhug, allowed Baam free range to dive off of the top rope, and hit Bonifer with a top rope Missile Dropkick, hitting Bonifer with a Spinebuster/Missile Dropkick combination. Valentino then cupped his hands, allowing Baam to step on his hands and climb up on his shoulders to hit a Standing Moonsault onto Bonifer before going for another pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

"Baam and Valentino showing their impressive chemistry, which is something that showed when they began teaming up only a few months ago!" Cinder exclaimed as Baam picked Bonifer up, putting him on his knees, and hitting him with several forearms to the side of the head. Baam raised one finger in the air, causing the crowd to cheer louder as Baam ran the ropes, and hit a Seated Running Complete Shot onto Bonifer. Baam then ran the ropes and hit a Springboard Twisting Elbow Drop to the back of Bonifer's neck. Before Baam could run to the corner to go onto the top rope, Manabo got onto the top rope, yelling at Baam that he wasn't getting on the top rope while he was there. Baam responded by punching Manabo in the side of the head several times and springboarding off of the middle rope to hit him with a Springboard Triangle Dropkick. However, while Baam was distracted, Bonifer hit Baam with a Running Knee to the gut, sending Baam crashing into the corner.

"Bonifer taking advantage of Manabo's distraction, and Rachel is not happy about that on the outside!" Daffy exclaimed as Rachel yelled at Baam to fight back as Bonifer hit Baam in the gut and chest with multiple punches. Bonifer then attempted to hit a Scoop Slam, but Baam was able to slip out of it and tag Valentino back into the match. Joe ran into the ring and attempted to hit Baam with a Clothesline to send him over the top rope, but Baam was able to throw Joe over the top rope. Baam then ran the ropes and hit Joe with a Suicide Dive with enough force to send him falling onto the top of the announcers' table. While Baam was getting back to his feet, Bonifer was able to get back to his feet and onto the apron, and when Baam turned around, hit him with an Asai Moonsault.

"Bonifer with a spectacular Asai Moonsault, using shades of the Ultimo Dragon to get momentum back on his side!" Mauro exclaimed as Bonifer got in Rachel and Frida's faces and yelled at them. However, this distraction allowed Valentino to run the ropes and hit Bonifer in the back of the head with a Suicide Forearm Smash. The crowd continued cheering as Valentino grabbed Bonifer by the hair, and slammed his face into the top of the announcers' table multiple times before throwing him into the steel apron chest first. Valentino pushed Bonifer back into the ring but was briefly stopped as Joe staggered back to his feet, and attempted to pull Valentino away by the arm.

"I don't think this is a smart idea by Joe, as Valentino clearly has the power advantage!" Cinder exclaimed as Valentino pushed Joe away, but before Valentino could do anything about it, Bonifer grabbed Valentino by the hair and pulled him onto the apron. The crowd booed and cheered accordingly as the two exchanged forearms to the side of the head with each other, but while Valentino was distracted by the brawl, Joe jumped up onto the apron and hit a kick to the back of Valentino's head. The crowd booed as Bonifer took advantage of this, and sent Valentino falling back into the ring with an Apron Vertical Suplex. Bonifer started stomping on Valentino's chest while Rachel was yelling at Valentino to get back up to his feet before Bonifer tagged Joe back into the match.

"It looks like the tag champions have finally gotten momentum back on their side!" Daffy exclaimed as Bonifer hit Valentino with a Belly-2-Belly Suplex before picking Joe up, and hitting him with a Scoop Slam that sent Joe crashing into Valentino's chest. Joe then started stomping on Valentino's chest a couple of times before grabbing Valentino by the hair and hitting him with several punches to the side of the head. Joe pulled Valentino to the ropes, draped his head over the middle rope, and started choking him with the middle rope. The crowd continued booing as Joe jumped over the top rope, and hit Valentino with a Diving Elbow Drop across the back of Valentino's neck before he landed on the apron. Joe then ran up to the top rope and waited for Valentino to get back to his feet, and when he staggered back to his feet, Joe hit Valentino with a Diving Forearm to the top of the head before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2

Joe smirked at a dazed Valentino, put him in a seated position, and started kicking him in the back and side of the head playfully.

"Joe better keep the ego in check, because it can only be a matter of seconds before momentum can change," Mauro noted as Joe hit a still-seated Valentino with a Dropkick to the back of the head. Joe tagged Bonifer back into the match, and before heading back to the apron, Joe hit Valentino with a couple of standing Leg Drops. Bonifer then ran into the ring and hit Valentino with a Running Pendulum Elbow Drop. Bonifer then picked Valentino up and hit him with several forearms to the side of the head before pushing him into the corner. Bonifer hit several more Knife-Edge Chops to Valentino's chest before putting him in a Double Underhook position and throwing him overhead with a Butterfly Suplex.

"For someone as…out there as Bonifer, he is a very technically proficient athlete," Mauro noted as Bonifer looked over at Baam, Rachel, and Frida flipped them off, and hit Valentino with a Standing Moonsault to the chest before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

Bonifer glared at the referee before grabbing Valentino, putting him in a Chinlock, and started clubbing Valentino in the chest. The crowd cheered as Valentino was able to block one of the clubs, and throw Bonifer overhead with a Judo Throw. Valentino attempted to make his way to his corner and to Baam, but Bonifer was able to grab Valentino's legs, trip him up, and tag Joe back into the match. The crowd continued booing as Joe ran the ropes, and hit a Rolling Thunder Frog Splash to Valentino's back as Bonifer rolled back onto the apron.

"That was an impressive move by Joe, putting all his weight on Valentino's back!" Daffy exclaimed as Joe picked Valentino up, and leaned him into the ropes. The crowd continued booing as Joe punched Valentino in the side of the face, and let Bonifer hold his arms behind his back. Joe then ran the ropes and hit a Running Knee Lift to a trapped Valentino's chest, but ran the ropes again to hit a Running Knee Lift onto Valentino's face. Bonifer then hit Valentino with a Neckbreaker over the top rope, allowing Joe to hit a stunned Valentino with a Snap DDT before going for another pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.

Ref: 1…2..

"I don't know why the referee wasn't stopping Bonifer from grabbing Valentino! It was clear as day!" Mauro exclaimed as Joe looked annoyed at Valentino, and started stomping on Valentino's face before tagging Bonifer back into the match. Joe grabbed Valentino and put him in position for a Russian Legsweep while Bonifer ran the ropes, and the two hit a Russian Legsweep/Bicycle Kick combination onto Valentino. Rachel told Valentino to get his fat ass up, causing Frida to grab Rachel by the back of her dress and yell at her for insulting Valentino like that. Rachel blew her off as Bonifer hit Valentino with a Jumping Elbow Drop that had enough force to send Valentino into a seated position once again.

"Rachel seems to be getting under Frida's skin even more than usual with the insults towards Frida's boyfriend," Mauro noted as Bonifer ran the ropes and hit a seated Valentino with a Running European Uppercut.

"Well, Frida needs to pick them better. I mean, Valentino's a nice guy and a good wrestler and all, but he's a bad influence on Baam," Cinder countered as Bonifer grabbed Valentino, and locked him in the Cobra Clutch.

"What do you mean 'a bad influence!?' Valentino's trying to help Baam become a more social and less shy person! And Valentino's helped Baam reach championship gold so early into his career!" Mauro countered himself as Valentino tried to get back onto his feet, but Bonifer kneed Valentino in the gut several times, pushing him back down to his knees while continuing to hold onto the Cobra Clutch.

"And he's teaching him to be too nice! If you're too nice, you're never going to make it in the wrestling business! Look at me! I had no problems stabbing people in the back to get to the top of the BTWF and VCW Women's Divisions multiple times!" Cinder argued back as Valentino started hitting multiple back elbows to Bonifer's chest. The crowd continued cheering as Valentino got back to his feet, and hit several punches to the side of Bonifer's head. Bonifer responded by attempting to throw Valentino into the ropes, but the crowd nearly exploded into cheers as Valentino springboarded off of the middle rope, and hit a Middle Rope Springboard Clothesline onto Bonifer, turning him inside out.

"Valentino finally getting some separation between himself and the World Tag Team Champions! If he can just make it into his corner and tag Baam into the match, their chances at winning the titles back would increase tenfold!" Mauro exclaimed as Joe ran into the ring, and attempted to grab Valentino's leg to prevent him from getting into his corner, but Valentino was able to turn himself around and push him away. Before Joe could get a grip on Valentino again, he tagged Baam into the match, and the crowd exploded into cheers once again as Baam springboarded into the ring, hitting Joe with a Springboard Hurricanrana with enough force to send him out of the ring.

"Baam coming back into the ring with an explosive Hurricanrana that sent Joe flying out of the ring!" Cinder exclaimed as Bonifer got back to his feet, and attempted to hit him with a punch to the face, but Baam blocked the punch, and hit him with several punches to the side of the head before running the ropes, and hitting a Jumping Back Elbow to the side of Bonifer's head. The crowd cheered as when Bonifer started staggering back to his feet, Baam springboarded onto the middle rope and knocked Bonifer down with a Middle Rope Springboard Dropkick to the side of the head before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2..

Baam started clapping, causing the fans to clap along with him, with Frida and even Rachel joining in, as Baam picked Bonifer up, hit him with a Snap Swinging Neckbreaker, and then springboarded off of the middle rope before hitting Bonifer with a Springboard Corkscrew Splash.

"Baam dominating Bonifer in the middle of the ring, using his speed to throw Bonifer off his game!" Mauro exclaimed as Baam grabbed Bonifer, and attempted to hit him with the Destino, but Bonifer was able to catch him in mid-air. The crowd booed as Bonifer put Baam in a Fireman's Carry, and threw him on the top turnbuckle chest first, kicking him in the gut several times before running the ropes, and hitting him with a Running Knee Strike to the gut. The crowd continued booing as Bonifer climbed up to the middle rope, and hit Baam with a Gutwrench Suplex from the middle rope before going for a pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.

Ref: 1…2..

The crowd cheered as Valentino rushed into the ring, and hit a Jumping Elbow Drop onto Bonifer's chest. Valentino then started clubbing Bonifer in the back, but the crowd booed as while Joe was distracting the referee, Manabo grabbed Valentino's leg, and pulled him out of the ring.

"We've been wondering when Manabo was going to get involved in this match, and his involvement looks to be starting now!" Daffy exclaimed as Manabo kneed Valentino in the gut several times and pushed him into the side of the steel stairs. The crowd booed as Manabo backed away, and yelled at the crowd to shut up as he ran into the steel steps, attempting to hit Valentino with a Running Hip Attack, but Valentino was able to dodge, sending Manabo crashing into the steel steps hard enough to send the steps falling down. The crowd cheered as Joe attempted to dive off of the apron with a Hurricanrana, but the crowd continued cheering as Valentino caught him in mid-air, and hit him with a Powerbomb that sent him crashing into Manabo's chest.

"Valentino was able to take out Manabo and Joe, leaving Bonifer all alone in the ring with Baam!" Mauro exclaimed as in the ring, Baam and Bonifer started exchanging punches to the face, with the crowd cheering and booing accordingly, before Bonifer kicked Baam in the gut, and attempted to hit him with a DDT. The crowd cheered as Baam was able to slip out of the DDT, and hit Bonifer with a Northern Lights Suplex before letting him go, and hitting him with a Jumping Double Foot Stomp across the chest. Bonifer went into a seated position while coughing, which Baam responded to by running the ropes and hitting Bonifer with a Shining Wizard to the side of the head before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2..

Bonifer barely rolled his shoulder out, and Baam pounded the mat in frustration before stomping on Bonifer several times. On the outside, Rachel stomped over to Valentino, who was catching his breath on the outside and started yelling at him to get into the ring and help Baam. Valentino told Rachel to give him a moment to get his breath back, but Rachel simply glared at him before slapping him in the face, causing the crowd to boo as Frida started seeing red.

"Oh! Rachel seems to have had enough of Valentino's incompetence!" Cinder exclaimed as the crowd began cheering again when Frida tackled Rachel down and started slapping her in the back of the head. The crowd chanted 'Fuck her Up Frida!' as she slammed Rachel's face into the mat, and Valentino tried to pull her off. In the ring, Bonifer grabbed Baam's foot, and locked him in an Ankle Lock, with the referee waiting to see whether or not Baam would tap out. While the referee was distracted, Owen ran down the entranceway and hit Valentino in the back of the head with a Running Clothesline. The crowd continued booing as Owen picked Valentino up, and hit him with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex.

"And the final member of Chaos Conspiracy makes his presence known, taking Valentino out of the match completely!" Daffy exclaimed as Baam was able to use his leg strength to throw Bonifer into the corner and break out of the Ankle Lock. Baam noticed that Valentino was down with Owen over him, and responded by running through the ropes, and hitting Owen with a Suicide Dive, knocking him into the fan barricade. The crowd cheered as Baam continued punching Owen in the side of the head before Rachel yelled at Baam to get back into the ring, which Baam did immediately.

"Baam probably shouldn't try and get on Rachel's bad side right now, especially after everything that's happened on the outside!" Daffy exclaimed as Baam attempted to run into the corner, but Bonifer was able to roll out of the corner, sending Baam crashing into the steel ring post shoulder first. The crowd continued booing as Bonifer ran the ropes, hit a Jumping Knee Strike to the side of the head, dragged him out of the corner and closer to the center of the ring, and hit Baam with the Stump Puller Piledriver before going for the pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.

*Bell Rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, and still the BTWF World Tag Team Champions, representing the Chaos Conspiracy, the team of Joe Wolf and Charlie Bonifer!" Tony Chimel announced as Bonifer yelled at the referee to get his championship belts while Owen helped Manabo and Joe get back to their feet. Bonifer swiped the BTWF World Tag Team Championship belts from the referee, pushed him down, and rolled out of the ring to hand one of the belts to Joe.

"The Chaos Conspiracy is able to retain the BTWF World Tag Team Championships after one of the most chaotic Tag Team Championship matches we've seen in quite a while!" Mauro exclaimed as Rachel looked in shock as Baam held his head in pain while Frida tried to help Valentino back to his feet. Rachel started yelling at Valentino and Frida that they were useless and couldn't do anything right before rolling back into the ring and telling Baam to get back to his feet.

"And Rachel is not happy that she once again lost the opportunity to become the manager of the BTWF World Tag Team Champions!" Cinder exclaimed as Baam pulled himself up back to his seat, and Rachel continued yelling at Baam about him losing while Bonifer and Joe were laughing at what was going on with Owen and Manabo. Baam didn't get a chance to say anything as Rachel started slapping him on the back of the head a few times, telling Baam that this type of failure wasn't going to be tolerated anymore. Frida then rolled into the ring, and the crowd cheered as she pulled Rachel away from Baam by the hair and threw her onto the floor.

"Well, that's definitely not gonna help Rachel's attitude," Daffy noted as while Valentino was rolling in the ring to try and play peacemaker, Owen patted Bonifer and Joe, congratulating them for retaining the championships, but telling them and Manabo that this wasn't going to be the end of the Chaos Conspiracy's night, and that that they were going to have many more eyeballs on them. Meanwhile, Valentino grabbed Frida, preventing her from jumping on Rachel and attacking her again as Baam grabbed Rachel and rolled her and himself out of the ring. The camera panned to the boiler room of the arena, with a red light covering the area while BTWF World Women's Champion Sherry Blendy, BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions Ultear Milkovich & Tomoko Kuroki, BTWF Hall of Famer Medusa Gorgon, and the rest of the Sisterhood of Darkness (Flare Corona, Frederica 'the Cleaner' Sawyer, Himiko Toga, Xochi Melendez, and Tina Belcher) were surrounding them.

"Tonight is a celebration of the past, and paying tribute to those who paved the way for the men and women of today," Medusa explained as she looked over at Sherry, who was continuing to clutch her BTWF World Women's Championship close to her chest as if it was a child that she was trying to protect. "However, none of them would be able to dethrone the Dark Queen, Sherry Blendy," Medusa whispered into the camera while running her hand through Sherry's pink hair.

"Well said, Lady Medusa. These women may have been Gods in their prime, but now, the heavens have been clouded by the Darkness that we have unleashed in the BTWF. Rei Ayanami felt only a fraction of what myself and the rest of the Sisterhood have gone through all our lives, and it's time for us to spread that pain to more people," Sherry explained as she got up from her seat, continuing to hold the BTWF World Women's Championship in her arms. Xochi gazed at the championship belt for a moment, which Sherry seemed to take notice of before walking over to Xochi.

"Tonight, I will be issuing an open challenge for the BTWF World Women's Championship. Anybody can come to my world, and they will feel our pain," Sherry finished explaining before looking right at Xochi, who didn't back down in the slightest from her boss' gaze.

"Xochi, your behavior is starting to worry me. Not only were you not in my corner a couple of days ago, but I also heard you tried to attack your fellow Sister, Flare. Do you want to explain yourself?" Sherry asked. The rest of the Sisterhood, including Medusa, looked at Xochi, who simply smirked at Sherry before patting her on the shoulder, walking over to Flare, and giving her a tight hug. Flare mumbled something in pain, and Xochi let go of Flare before turning around to once again face Sherry.

"I was just mad about what happened at the Battle Riot. There's nothing wrong with me and Flare, and I forgive her for her mistake. Plus, I had so much confidence in my leader that I felt like I didn't need to help you, and I was right," Xochi said with a shrug and a smile on her face. Sherry raised an eyebrow at Xochi, but before she could say anything, Medusa patted Sherry's shoulder and whispered something in her ear. Sherry nodded before Xochi's smile grew bigger while she walked up to Sherry, and patted her on the shoulder.

"I appreciate the concern, Sherry, but you should probably focus on your match later tonight, especially since you're facing someone in an open challenge title match tonight," Xochi explained before she walked off. Sherry looked annoyed at Xochi's attitude and words, but Medusa shook her head, once again whispering in Sherry's ear to calm her down. The camera then panned to another video package while Sherry started talking to the Sisterhood of Darkness. The footage began by showing Medusa Gorgon sitting in the middle of a dark attic, talking in tongues while holding a lit torch and sitting in front of a pentagram.

"When it came to women who broke the mold for what women wrestlers were seen as in the 90s, Medusa should be the first that comes into everyone's mind," former BTWF Women's Champion and current manager Mirajane Strauss explained as the footage panned to Medusa in the ring, grabbing Midnight by the hair, and stabbing her in the side of the head with a railroad spike before dropping her with a Piledriver. Medusa then knelt down and licked the blood off of Midnight's face as security came dragging her out of the ring.

"Medusa was so committed to scare people and have people buy what she was selling, that she had been banned from a couple of towns because of the bloody and gruesome violence that she often displayed," former BTWF Women's Champion and current BTWF commentator Cinder Falls noted as the footage showed Medusa battling Tsunade in a No-Disqualification match for the BTWF Women's Championship. After a hard-fought, back-and-forth match, Medusa was able to hit Tsunade with a Piledriver through a table and off of the middle rope to pin her.

"Medusa really popularized Hardcore wrestling for women's wrestlers, which gave the women of BTWF a lot more opportunities to steal the show," BTWF commentator Beth Vanderwood explained as the footage showed the next episode of BTWF TV, where Medusa had a ritual where multiple men and women under red robes gave her the BTWF Women's Championship. An unconscious Tsunade was also tied up to the ropes, allowing Medusa to hit her multiple times in the side of the head with her trademark railroad spike before drinking Tsunade's blood while speaking in tongues.

"I remember kids, and even a few teachers, asking me in school if my Mom was actually a Satan Worshipper. That was always a fun time," former BTWF Cruiserweight Champion and Medusa Gorgon's son reminisced while laughing. The footage showed highlights of the next few months of Medusa's title reign, which included her hitting women like Mirajane Strauss, Winter Schnee, and BLAYNE with Piledrivers from the middle rope and through a table, including one or two of them getting stabbed with the railroad spike. Medusa even stabbed Blaze the Cat in the eye with the railroad spike, causing her to be taken out on a stretcher and to a special.

"Medusa was so much of a demented figure, that even some women who would normally be booed and hated by the audience were cheering for the women just so that they could defeat Medusa and end her reign of terror," current BTWF General Manager Tanya Von Degurechaff noted as while Medusa was cutting another promo in the middle of the ring, speaking in tongue like usual, but the crowd exploded into cheers as Utahime Iori came running from the stage, and attacking Medusa. Utahime's face still bore the scars from Medusa's attack on her months earlier, with a long scar running diagonally from the top of her right cheek to the bottom of her left cheek.

"Utahime became an instant star because of this attack. Medusa was such a hated figure on BTWF TV, that Utahime, who was only a wrestler on BTWF for less than a year was a made woman the day," former BTWF Champion All Might explained. The footage then showed Utahime and Medusa facing each other in a Three Stages of Hell match for the BTWF Women's Championship, with Utahime able to win the final fall with her finishing Float Over DDT onto a stack of chairs. After winning the title, Utahime grabbed the railroad spike, and much to the crowd's delight stabbed Medusa with the railroad spike as revenge.

"Medusa's always going to be remembered as one of the most unique women not only in the BTWF, but all of the Fanfiction Wrestling Multiverse, and her association with the Sisterhood of Darkness is going to spell nothing but success for them," former BTWF International Champion Tim Scam explained as the footage ended with Medusa sticking her tongue out at the camera while blood began dripping out of her mouth. The camera then panned to the stage, where the crowd exploded into cheers as 'Addicted to Pain' by Alterbridge played, where Bickslow came running out of the back, beating his chest with a huge toothy smile on his face.

"The following contest is a triple threat match scheduled for one fall, and it is for the BTWF International Championship! Introducing the challengers first, from Magnolia Fiore, he is Bickslow!" Tony Chimel announced. The crowd continued cheering and chanting 'Welcome Back!' as Bickslow looked into the camera and yelled 'I'm Back!' before getting on the center of the stage, and pounding on the steel stage. Bickslow then shot his fists up, causing pyro to shoot out from the stage behind Bickslow.

"Bickslow returned to action a couple of days ago at the Battle Riot PPV, costing the man who sent him falling from the stage in a casket, Gaara, the BTWF International Championship!" Mauro exclaimed as Bickslow stomped off of the stage, and ran to high-five and fist-bump some of the cheering fans that were still chanting his name. Bickslow then jumped back up onto the entrance ramp, and walked down the ramp before turning to the camera, and telling the fans that he was getting gold around his waist during his first match back.

"Bickslow may have bitten off more than he could chew here, especially since he hasn't been actively competing since New Horizons," Cinder countered as Bickslow got to the ringside area, slapped his face a few times to pump himself up even more, and ran up the steel steps. Bickslow then looked on at the cheering crowd, giving them another toothy smile before jumping over the top rope, and climbing up to the top turnbuckle. Bickslow pointed to all the fans that were cheering for him and flexed for them. However, the crowd began booing as the lights turned on, Damian Priest's 'Nightmare' theme began playing, and a red laser circle appeared on the center of the stage.

"And speak of the devil…here comes the man who's responsible for Bickslow spending months on the shelf!" Daffy exclaimed as Gaara came walking out of the back. Gaara had his head down, his hand that would normally hold the BTWF International Championship was simply a fist shaking in anger. While in the light of the red laser circle, Gaara looked up at Bickslow, glaring at him while growling. Gaara then told Bickslow that he was a dead man before he began walking off the stage and onto the entranceway, with the laser circle following him.

"And introducing his opponents, first, from the Sand Village, Gaara!" Tony Chimel announced as Gaara continued marching to the ring, with the crowd's jeers following him. Gaara didn't acknowledge the negative reaction he was receiving as he focused all his ire on Bickslow. Bickslow nodded, telling Gaara to get into the ring, and he can get his ass kicked, which Gaara responded to with a sneer. Gaara then got to the ringside area, continued glaring at Bickslow, and then jumped up to the steel ring apron before continuing to threaten Bickslow.

"That's true, but Gaara also can't be happy that Bickslow cost him the BTWF International Championship!" Cinder exclaimed as Gaara walked into the ring through the ropes. Gaara walked up to Bickslow, and Bickslow didn't back down and just smirked at Gaara. The referee tried to get in between them as Austin Aries' 'Ambition and Vision' theme song played, causing the crowd to cheer loudly as Elric came running out of the back with his newly-won BTWF International Championship around his waist.

"And their opponent, from Resembool, East State, Amestris, he is the new BTWF International Champion, Edward Elric!" Tony Chimel announced as Elric came walking down the entranceway, high-fiving fans while continuing to show off the BTWF International Championship. Elric stopped to take a couple of pictures with fans while Gaara and Bickslow continued to trash-talk with each other before Elric made it to the ringside area. The crowd continued cheering as Elric took the BTWF International Championship off of around his waist, and walked up the steel steps.

"Elric is probably feeling confident right now, since Bickslow and Gaara may be more focused on each other," Daffy explained as Elric got onto the top turnbuckle, and raised the BTWF International Championship over the top of his head. Elric noticed that Gaara and Bickslow continued talking trash to each other while the referee was trying to keep them apart. Elric looked at the cheering crowd, shrugged, dropped the BTWF International Championship onto the steel steps, and dived off of the top rope, hitting Gaara in the back of the head with a Missile Dropkick that sent Gaara's face crashing into Bickslow's.

"Well, look at that, Daffy! Elric seems to have been listening to you!" Cinder joked as the referee, due to there being no disqualifications in a triple-threat match, told the timekeeper to ring the bell. When the match started, Elric picked Gaara back up to his feet, and hit him with several punches to the side of the face before running the ropes, and knocking him into the ropes with a Jumping Back Elbow. While Gaara was staggered in the ropes, Elric hit him with more punches and kicks, but the crowd cheered as Bickslow got back to his feet, grabbed Elric by the hair, and threw him into the corner.

"A lot of people should listen to me more often. But one mistake Elric may have made was not getting Bickslow out of the ring while going after Gaara!" Daffy responded as Bickslow started punching Elric in the gut before knocking him loopy with a Back Elbow to the side of the head. Bickslow then attempted to hit a Running Corner Clothesline, but Elric was able to counter by pushing both of his feet into Bickslow's face. The crowd continued cheering as Elric jumped up to the middle rope, and hit a Diving Middle Rope Clothesline, taking Bickslow down. Gaara attempted to hit Elric with a Big Boot, but Elric was able to dodge and push the ropes down, sending Gaara falling out of the ring.

"Well, it looks like Elric is learning, as he sends Gaara falling out of the ring!" Mauro exclaimed as Elric picked Bickslow up, and hit him with a couple of Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before attempting to throw Bickslow into the corner. However, Bickslow kept his feet on the ground and shook his head before throwing Elric into the corner hard enough for Elric to nearly bounce out of the corner. The crowd continued cheering as Bickslow sent Elric flying up and falling on his back with a Back Body Drop. Elric landed on his ass, and Bickslow responded by running the ropes, hitting a seated Elric with a Big Boot to the side of the head, and going for the first pinfall of the match.

Ref: 1…

"Elric looks dazed there, but he was still able to kick out of the Big Boot!" Daffy exclaimed as Bickslow picked Elric up, and attempted to hit him with a Spinebuster. However, the crowd continued cheering as Elric started elbowing Bickslow in the back of the head several times before slipping out of his grasp. Elric hit Bickslow with a Dropkick right to the side of the face, sending Bickslow crashing into the corner, with the crowd continued to cheer as Elric jumped up to the middle rope and hit him with several punches to the side of the head before attempting to hit him with a Monkey Flip.

"Elric may be an athletic individual, but it's going to take a lot of strength to throw Bickslow out of the corner," Cinder explained as Bickslow kept himself in the corner, and put Elric in position for the Bickslow Bomb (Batista Bomb). However, Elric was able to punch Bickslow in the face several times before falling out of Bickslow's grasp and hitting him with a Falling Sit-Out Facebuster. The crowd continued cheering as Elric springboarded off of the middle rope, and hit Bickslow in the gut with a Springboard Corkscrew Elbow. However, before Elric could go for the pin, Gaara grabbed Elric by the foot, pulled him out of the ring, and threw him into the steel steps.

"And Gaara is back in the match, sending the top of the steel steps nearly flying away with how hard he threw Elric into them!" Mauro exclaimed as Gaara grabbed Elric by the head, and started smashing the back of his head into the side of the steel steps before rolling back into the ring. The crowd cheered as Bickslow got back to his feet, and hit several punches to the side of Gaara's head, but when Bickslow Irish whipped Gaara into the ropes, Gaara was able to rebound off the ropes and hit Bickslow with a Running Knee Strike to the face. While Bickslow was stunned, Gaara put him in a Front Facelock and started clubbing Bickslow in the back before attempting to hit him with a Vertical Suplex.

"Gaara and Bickslow look like they want to kill each other, and who knows how hard Gaara's gonna Suplex Bickslow!?" Daffy asked as Bickslow kneed Gaara in the gut multiple times before picking him up, attempting a Powerslam. However, Gaara hit several elbows to the top of Bickslow's head, but the crowd cheered as Bickslow kept his grip locked on Gaara, and ran into the corner where he sent Gaara head first into the top turnbuckle with a Snake Eyes. The crowd continued cheering as Bickslow ran the ropes, attempting to hit Gaara with a Big Boot, but Gaara was able to counter with a hard Discus Clothesline.

"Gaara able to reply to Bickslow's display of power with some power of his own, nearly caving in Bickslow's chest and throat with a hard Discus Clothesline!" Mauro exclaimed as Gaara grabbed Bickslow by the hair, and slapped him a couple of times on the side of the head, telling Bickslow that he was going to pay for costing him the BTWF International Championship. Gaara then ran the ropes, attempting a Running Leg Drop, but Bickslow was able to roll out of the way, mount Gaara, and lay in some punches to the side of Gaara's head.

"Bickslow isn't going to take Gaara's threats lying down!" Mauro exclaimed as Bickslow grabbed Gaara by the hair, slapped him a couple of times in the face, and then hit him with a Stun Gun over the top rope. Gaara staggered around the ring, and Bickslow responded by running the ropes and hitting Bickslow with a Big Boot to the side of the head. Gaara was still on his feet, and Bickslow responded by running the ropes once again and hitting him with another Big Boot to the side of the face, sending Gaara falling out of the ring.

"Bickslow sending Gaara falling out of the ring with another Big Boot!" Cinder exclaimed as Bickslow looked at Gaara still staggering on his feet. Bickslow smirked at the cheering crowd and then ran the ropes before vaulting himself over the top rope, sending both him and Gaara crashing into the fan barricade with his Vaulting Body Press. The crowd exploded as Gaara attempted to escape Bickslow's grasp, but Bickslow was able to hit Gaara with multiple forearms to the side of the head before throwing him into the steel ring apron in the sides. When Bickslow attempted to grab Gaara again, Gaara was able to push Bickslow into the fan barricade back first, with the crowd booing as Gaara rammed Bickslow's back into the fan barricade multiple times before hitting him with multiple back elbows to the side of the head.

"Gaara and Bickslow are brawling with each other right in front of the fans, showing off just how much hate these two have for each other!" Mauro exclaimed as Gaara attempted to pick Bickslow up for the Sands of Time (Burning Hammer), but Bickslow was able to counter by hitting Gaara in the chest and gut multiple times with punches. While Gaara tried to keep Bickslow on his back, the crowd continued cheering as Elric ran onto the apron, and hit a Running Apron Dropkick to Gaara's back, sending him and Bickslow falling onto the floor. Elric then started stomping on both Gaara and Bickslow's gut and chest before picking Bickslow up and throwing him face first into the fan barricade.

"Elric coming back into the match, showing off why he's not only the International Champion but why he shouldn't be the third wheel to Bickslow and Gaara's rivalry!" Cinder exclaimed as Elric hit him with multiple punches to the side of Bickslow's face. Elric then backed away slightly before hitting Bickslow in the chest with a Running Dropkick to the chest before kneeing him several times in the gut. Elric attempted to throw Bickslow into the corner of the fan barricade, but Bickslow countered by throwing Elric into the corner of the fan barricade chest first. Bickslow and Gaara continued brawling in front of the corner of the fan barricade, with Elric seemingly getting the better of Bickslow with some open-hand palm strikes to the side of the face.

"Elric showing Bickslow that he's no slouch when it comes to brawling with these Open-Palm Strikes!" Mauro exclaimed as Bickslow attempted to fight back with some punches, but the crowd booed as Gaara came running out from the corner of the ringside area, and tackled Bickslow through the corner of the fan barricade. Elric attempted to hit a kneeling Gaara with a Superkick, but Gaara pushed Elric away before getting back to his feet, grabbing pieces of the fan barricade, and throwing it on top of Bickslow as hard as he could before running at a staggering Elric, and hitting him with a Bicycle Kick to the face.

"Gaara, just like that, taking control of this match back into his favor!" Daffy exclaimed as Gaara grabbed Elric, and threw him back into the ring before going for the pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.

Ref: 1…2.

Gaara looked shocked that Elric kicked out, and responded by mounting Elric and hitting him in the side of the head with multiple forearms. Elric attempted to push Gaara off, but Gaara continued to smash his forearm into the side of Elric's head until a small cut opened on the side of his head.

"And Elric's bleeding from the side of the head now thanks to some hard strikes to the side of the head!" Mauro exclaimed as Gaara grabbed Elric by the hair, put him in a Powerslam position, and hit him with a couple of Shoulder Breakers to his right shoulder. Elric attempted to fight out of Gaara's grip with some elbow strikes to the top of the head, but Gaara responded by putting Elric's right arm in a Hammerlock, running into the corner, and ramming Elric's back and arm into the corner with a Running Powerslam.

"Gaara targeting Elric's arm, which will definitely weaken plenty of Elric's moves, like the Revolution Knee!" Cinder exclaimed as Gaara ran and Powerslammed Elric in the center of the ring before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

Gaara looked annoyed as Elric kicked out again, and he responded by grabbing Elric by the pants, picking him up, and throwing him into the corner. Gaara hit Elric with a Running Corner Clothesline and then hit him with multiple Back Elbows to both sides of Elric's head. The crowd cheered as Elric attempted to push Gaara away, but Gaara simply twisted around and hit Elric with a Discus Forearm to the side of the head. Bickslow attempted to come into the ring, but Gaara noticed, and hit him with a Savate Kick to the side of the head, sending him falling off of the apron and onto the floor.

"Gaara showing some excellent ring smarts by keeping Bickslow out of the ring so that he could focus on the man who took the BTWF International Championship from him!" Mauro exclaimed as Gaara noticed that Elric was still in the corner, and ran the ropes to hit Elric in the side of the head with a Running Big Boot, sending him falling in front of the bottom turnbuckle in a seated position. Gaara started choking Elric with his foot, telling the booing crowd that he was getting his BTWF International Championship back.

"I can't say I can argue with Gaara here, as he's already dominated both Bickslow and Elric!" Daffy exclaimed as Gaara ran the ropes, and hit a Running Knee Strike to the side of Elric's head before dragging him to the center of the ring and going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

The crowd began cheering as Bickslow came rolling into the ring, but Gaara quickly responded once again by stomping onto Bickslow's back. The crowd went back to booing as Gaara picked Bickslow up, and hit him with a Spinning Sidewalk Slam before attempting to hit a still-downed Elric with a Jumping Splash. However, the crowd began cheering again as Elric raised his knees up, sending Gaara's chest crashing into Elric's knees.

"Elric showing off some of his resiliency by fighting back despite all the powerful strikes and slams he's been a victim of by Gaara!" Cinder exclaimed as Elric staggered back to his feet, and started punching Gaara in the back of the head. However, Gaara hit Elric in the side of the face with a punch hard enough to send Elric to his knees, and Gaara responded by running the ropes and attempting to hit Elric with a Running Punch to the side of the head. However, Elric was able to jump back up to his feet and hit Gaara with a Jumping Enziguri to the side of the head. But before Gaara could fall down, Bickslow ran at Elric, and nearly turned him inside out with a Spear, sending all three men down to the ground.

"All three men are down! Who is going to come out of this match with the BTWF International Championship!?" Daffy asked as the three men started pulling themselves back up, getting on their knees before they looked at each other. The crowd began cheering louder as Elric started another brawl by punching Gaara in the side of the head, which Gaara responded to with a punch of his own. Bickslow punched both Elric and Gaara before Gaara headbutted Bickslow in the side of the head, allowing Elric to daze Gaara with a Palm Strike. After all three were dazed, they were able to get back to their feet, looked at each other for a second, and then started brawling once again.

"The competitive juices flowing in this match, as these three men are throwing wild haymakers in the middle of the ring!" Mauro exclaimed as Gaara knocked Bickslow away with a headbutt to the side of the head. Elric grabbed Gaara by the side of the head and started punching him in the side of the head, but the crowd exploded into cheers as Bickslow ran back at Elric and Gaara, and hit them with a Double Spear before Bickslow pinned Gaara.

Ref: 1…2..

Bickslow immediately rolled onto Elric after Gaara kicked out.

Ref: 1…2..

"Bickslow sending both Gaara and Elric down after that massive Spear nearly through their chests!" Cinder exclaimed as Bickslow kipped back to his feet. The crowd's cheers were loud enough to almost drown out Bickslow's roaring, going into the corner to wait for Gaara and Elric to get back to their feet. When they did, Bickslow ran out of the corner and hit both Gaara and Elric with a couple of hard Clotheslines, and then ran the ropes to knock Elric back down with a Jumping Shoulder Tackle. The crowd continued cheering as Gaara attempted to hit Bickslow with a Bicycle Kick, but Bickslow was able to counter this with a Spinebuster.

"What a vicious Spinebuster by Bickslow! Ron Simmons would definitely be proud of that one!" Mauro exclaimed as Bickslow grabbed the top rope, and shook it as hard as he could, causing the crowd to cheer as Bickslow told the crowd that this match was going to end. Bickslow then turned around, picked Gaara up, and attempted to pick him up for the Bickslow Bomb (Batista Bomb). However, the crowd booed as Gaara hit Bickslow with a low blow, allowing Gaara to slide out of Bickslow's grasp, grab him in a Bearhug, and hit him with a Stun Gun over the top rope. Before Gaara could capitalize, Elric ran up to Gaara and rolled him up with a Victory Roll.

Ref: 1…2.

Gaara glared at Elric as he grabbed him by the throat, and picked him up for a Scoop Slam, but the crowd cheered as Elric countered this slam with a Hurricanrana that sent Gaara flying onto Bickslow's chest. The crowd continued cheering as Elric jumped up onto the middle rope, and springboarded onto both Bickslow and Gaara with a Springboard Moonsault before going for a pin on Gaara.

Ref: 1…2..

"Elric's turn to dominate the two men trying to come after his newly-won BTWF International Championship!" Daffy exclaimed as Elric picked Gaara up, and attempted to hit him with the Revolution Knee (Ripcord Knee). However, Gaara caught Elric and attempted to send him into the ropes with another Stun Gun, but Elric was able to keep himself from having his throat slam into the top rope, elbow Gaara in the back of the head a couple of times, push him away, and then Springboard off of the middle rope, and hit Gaara with a Springboard DDT. The crowd cheered as Elric started climbing up to the top rope, attempting to balance himself on the top rope for the Phoenix Splash.

"Elric looks to give Gaara his second Phoenix Splash in a week!" Cinder exclaimed as Elric dived off of the top rope, attempting to hit the Phoenix Splash, but Gaara was able to roll out of the way. Elric was able to land on his feet, but the crowd cheered as Bickslow grabbed Elric, and hit him with a Chokeslam Backbreaker, but rather than let go of him, Bickslow hit Elric with another Chokeslam Backbreaker and hit him with a Lifting Reverse STO before locking him in the Bickslow Bite (Beast Bite). Elric attempted to pull himself closer to the ropes, but Bickslow responded by rolling him and Elric closer to the middle of the ring.

"Bickslow has Elric locked in the Bickslow Bite in the middle of the ring! Could Bickslow hold the BTWF International Championship in his first match back from injury!?" Mauro exclaimed as Gaara got back to his feet, and hit a Jumping Knee Drop to Bickslow's back. The crowd booed as Gaara grabbed Bickslow by the hair, and kneed him in the gut and side of the head multiple times before hitting him with a Scoop Slam. Gaara looked furious at the booing crowd before hitting mounting Bickslow and hitting him with multiple forearms to the face and side of the head.

"Gaara has had enough of Bickslow, and the crowd cheering for the man who helped cost him the BTWF International Championship!" Cinder exclaimed as Gaara grabbed Bickslow, and put him in a Rear Naked Choke. The crowd booed as Bickslow tried to fight out of the hold, and while this was happening, Elric had rolled onto the apron and started climbing up to the top rope. Gaara didn't notice as he started hitting Bickslow in the top of the head, causing some blood to come out of an opening wound, but Bickslow continued fighting, refusing to be knocked unconscious by the Rear Naked Choke.

"Bickslow's trying to keep himself conscious while Elric is climbing back up to the top rope!" Mauro exclaimed as while the referee looked to raise Bickslow's hand, Elric dived off of the top rope with another Phoenix Splash, crashing into both Bickslow and Gaara. The crowd continued cheering as Elric grabbed Bickslow, threw him out of the ring, picked up Gaara, and hit him with a Revolution Knee (Ripcord Knee). The crowd continued cheering as Elric told the crowd that the match was over, jumped back up to the top turnbuckle, and hit Gaara with a third Phoenix Splash before going for the pin, hooking both of his legs.

*Bell Rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, and still the BTWF International Champion, Edward Elric!" Tony Chimel announced as Elric fell to his knees, holding his gut in pain while breathing heavily. The referee went to grab the BTWF International Championship from the ringside attendant, which Bickslow responded to by punching the apron in frustration as he staggered back to his feet. Elric grabbed the BTWF International Championship, kissed the championship, and raised the BTWF International Championship over his head while still on his knees, causing the crowd to cheer louder.

"If Elric proved anything tonight, he proved that what happened at the Battle Riot was no fluke!" Mauro exclaimed as Elric rolled out of the ring, continuing to raise the BTWF International Championship over his head. Gaara sat up while holding his gut and chest in pain, glaring at Elric celebrating by showing off the BTWF International Championship to the fans. Gaara then turned to Bickslow, glaring at him as he blamed Bickslow for once again costing him the BTWF International Championship. Bickslow pushed Gaara's hand away, with his other hand on his head in pain, and Gaara responded to that sign of disrespect by grabbing Biclslow's arm and sending the side of his face bouncing off of the bottom rope.

"Gaara isn't going to take that kind of disrespect lying down!" Cinder exclaimed as Gaara pulled Bickslow into the ring. The crowd continued cheering as the two powerhouses were brawling in the side of the ring. The referee tried to separate Gaara and Bickslow, but the two didn't let up and continued punching each other in the face. Bickslow then bit the side of Gaara's ear, causing Gaara to scream in pain as he tried to push his fingers into Bickslow's eyes. Elric dropped the BTWF International Championship onto the floor and ran into the ring to help the referee separate the men he just beat to retain his newly won championship.

"This has gotten so heated, that even the BTWF International Champion wants to help the security and referees!" Daffy exclaimed as Elric was able to help pull Bickslow away with a couple of referees while Gaara continued to yell at Bickslow that he was going to regret coming back to the BTWF. Once Bickslow and Elric got out of the ring, Elric and Bickslow shared a handshake, with Bickslow raising Elric's arm in victory. Elric used the other arm to show the BTWF International Championship off to the fans once again while referees make sure that Gaara doesn't leave the ring to attack the others. The camera then panned to the backstage area, where Todd Grisham was standing next to BTWF United States Champion Shinji Ikari.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the BTWF United States Champion, who has made it to 8 months as BTWF United States Champion, so congratulations are in order," Todd explained as Shinji nodded in response.

"Todd, when I beat Stan for this championship, I vowed to make this title one of the most prestigious in the Fanfiction Wrestling Multiverse, and I think I've done just that. Not only with my work in the ring, but the respect I've shown this championship. Unlike Stan, I use this championship as a way to bring people together, and inspire more people like myself," Shinji explained. However, before Shinji could finish, Tim Scam came walking up to them, the crowd giving a mixed reaction as Tim took the microphone away from Shinji, and brought it to his face.

"Shinji, you know, you can spare us this sentimental and heroic crap. We all know you wanted to beat Stan for the BTWF United States Championship because you were mad about what he said about you and your people. Don't get me wrong, I don't blame you for wanting to get revenge on that big-chinned asshole, but you don't have to make it sound like you're doing it for all these mouth-breathing fans," Scam explained. Shinji stroked his chin in thought and moved the microphone closer to his mouth.

"You're right about one thing, Scam; I did want to shut Stan's mouth. But the more I held this championship, the more I heard kids like me, kids who once thought of giving up on life and kids who once thought they were nothing but worthless, call me an inspiration. If I can rise to the top of the Fanfiction wrestling world, what's to say that they can't?" Shinji asked as Scam rolled his eyes before telling Todd to give him another microphone. When Todd got the microphone, Scam pushed Todd away before continuing to talk to Shinji.

"And that's going to be your downfall; being an inspiration means that you have even more weight on your shoulders. One of these days, that weight's going to send you crashing down. That's why when I spent almost two years as the BTWF International Champion, I did it for one person and one person only; me. And that led me to become THE best BTWF International Champion in all of BTWF history. At the rate you're going, you're going to be lucky to even get to one year as BTWF United States Champion," Scam explained, as Shinji just shook his head in disappointment before patting the BTWF United States Championship that was hanging over his shoulder.

"That's what you think, Scam, but the fans are actually my support and fuel to keep going when it comes to the ring. And who knows? With all the fans around me, maybe I'll be the one who dethrones your record for the longest BTWF secondary championship reign. And if you want to prove that, maybe send your little pet Kaminari after me, and I'll end that little championship journey that he's trying to go on," Shinji threatened, walking closer to Scam, but Scam backed away.

"As much as I'd like to say 'yes', Kaminari is going after the bigger fish in the BTWF ocean, and you're not one of those bigger fish!" Scam exclaimed. Shinji rolled his eyes, gave his BTWF United States Championship to Todd, and smacked Scam on the side of the head. Scam landed on all fours, and Shinji grabbed the BTWF United States Championship back from Todd and patted it right in front of Scam's face. However, before Shinji could say anything, Kaworu Nagisa and Senku Ishigami came walking over to Shinji with smirks on their faces.

"Welcome back, old friend," Kaworu said, patting Shinji on the shoulder. Senku pointed out the BTWF United States Championship to Kaworu, and Kaworu responded with a nod. "I believe we have some unfinished business."

"Yeah, I think we do," Shinji said, putting the United States Championship back on the top of his shoulder. Kaworu nodded before he and Senku left the backstage interview area, leaving Shinji alone with Tim Scam crawling away. Shinji looked back at Todd and gave him a fist bump before heading back to his locker room as the camera panned back to the stage.
