BTWF Intensity (October Week 4)
The camera panned to the backstage interview area, as Brandon Castle stood next to Izuku Midoriya who was pacing around, and glaring at Castle as he looked at the camera and began an introduction.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another episode of BTWF Intensity. I'm here with the #1 contender for the BTWF Hardcore Championship Izuku Midoriya. Now, you heard what Pete Corvus said about your mother after his win against Black Star, correct?" Brandon asked as Midoriya nodded while looking down at the ground.
"Yeah, I heard."
"I'm just wondering what is going through your mind after hearing that," Brandon explained as Midoriya looked up, and took a deep breath before talking into the microphone.
"What's going through my mind is how many ways I'm going to destroy Pete Corvus in our match. Pete really thinks that this is funny, that my Mom almost died because of him. Well, he's not going to be laughing after I take the Hardcore Championship from him at Trouble in Tokyo," Midoriya explained as Brandon took the microphone back.
"Lastly, in the main event, Pete Corvus will be going one on one with Zancrow. Will you be at ringside or involved in any way in that match?" Brandon asked as Midoriya chuckled quietly before putting the microphone closer to his mouth.
"As much as I would love to see Zancrow beat the ever-loving shit out of Corvus, Overhaul told me that I was banned from ringside in this match. And if I got involved, even just by being at ringside, I would lose my shot at Corvus, so I'll have to settle with watching the match from the back," Midoriya explained before Brandon extended his arm out to Midoriya, much to his confusion.
"Good luck with your match at Trouble in Tokyo Midoriya. I don't know how much this means, but I'll be rooting for you," Brandon said. Midoriya's mouth curved into a small smile and nodded before shaking Brandon's hand and leaving to head back to his locker room. The camera then panned to the stage, as 'Fight' by Oleander played, causing the crowd to cheer loudly as pyro went off on the stage before the camera panned around the cheering crowd before landing on the commentary desk.
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the final episode of BTWF Intensity before Trouble in Tokyo. From Hiroshima Japan, I'm Matt Striker alongside my broadcast partners Kotoko Iwanaga and Bob Belcher! Are you guys excited for what we have planned tonight!?" Striker asked as Kotoko and Bob nodded in response.
"We sure are, Matt! We have BTWF Hardcore Champion Pete Corvus taking on Zancrow in the main event, 'Amazing' Agent Luna taking on a mystery opponent of BTWF Women's Champion Lucy Heartfilia's choice, a Champion vs. Champion match as BTWF Cruiserweight Champion Crona Gorgon takes on BTWF International Champion Dipper Pines, and much more tonight on Intensity!" Kotoko listed off as the crowd started booing as the Miz's 'Reality' theme song played as Juniper Lee started strutting out.
"We have a long list of matches here tonight, but we're starting off with Women's Division action with BTWF newcomer Juniper Lee!" Bob exclaimed as Juniper started faking hi-fives with the fans in the front row of the fan barricade before continuing her way to the ring, strutting with a Cheshire grin on her face.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, from Orchid Bay California, Juniper Lee!" Tony Chimel announced as Juniper ran near the ring and slid underneath the bottom rope, and laid down in the ring in a relaxed manner, as the crowd continued to boo while she smirked at them.
"Juniper Lee has been making waves in the BTWF since debuting at New Horizons," Striker explained as Juniper kipped up back to her feet before she climbed up to the top rope, and raised her fist up with three fingers in the air. The crowd booed as Juniper closed her eyes and rocked her head back, basking in the reaction she was getting from the crowd.
"Juniper has an ego on a level that I have never seen before. She seems to think that these fans are actually cheering her," Kotoko pointed out as June jumped down from the top turnbuckle before 'This Fire Burns' by Killswitch Engage played, causing the crowd to cheer as Rally came running out of the back and got onto one knee on the center of the stage.
"And her opponent, from Chicago Illinois, she is the 'Second City Shooter', Rally Vincent!" Tony Chimel announced as Rally pretended to cock a shotgun, and pretended to shoot it on the stage, causing pyro to go off behind her before she got back on her feet and started walking to the ring.
"Rally has been wanting revenge on June since the attack at New Horizons, but is not finally able to get her hands on Juniper one on one," Bob explained as Rally started hi-fiving fans at ringside while June laughed at Rally while rolling her eyes at Rally.
"June doesn't seem to be taking Rally seriously, but if I were her, I would stop with the jokes and focus on Rally, as she is a fantastic competitor," Striker advised as Rally climbed up to the top turnbuckle and showed the crowd the Devil Horns, causing the crowd to cheer as Juniper mocked her from the ring.
"I agree with that Striker, June's confidence may cost her this big match here tonight," Kotoko agreed as Rally climbed down to the ring and glared at Juniper before the referee made sure both women were ready and rang the bell. The crowd cheered as Rally grabbed Juniper and started punching her in the face multiple times before Irish whipping her into the ropes. When Juniper rebounded, Rally sent her down with a Hurricanrana to the mat before she started punching her in the face again until the referee pulled her off.
"Rally letting weeks of unrequited aggression out on Juniper with each one of these blows to the face!" Striker exclaimed as Rally started stomping on Juniper before picking her up and hitting her with a Mongolian Chop. Rally started kneeing Juniper in the gut, and Irish whipped her into the ropes, but when Juniper rebounded, she knocked Rally down with a Legsweep that sent Rally falling to the mat face first before Juniper went for a pin, hooking both of her legs back much to the crowd's chagrin.
Ref: 1..
Rally almost immediately kicked out and attempted to punch June in the face again, but Juniper pulled on Rally's hair and put her in a headlock, causing the crowd to boo. Rally attempted to push Juniper off of her using the ropes, but Juniper was able to keep the headlock locked in, causing the crowd to boo louder.
"June trying to slow the pace of this match down, so that Rally can't get back on offense," Kotoko explained as Rally started kneeing June in the sides and gut again before picking her up in a suplex position. The crowd cheered as June tried to escape the suplex hold, but Rally sent June down with a Falcon Arrow. Rally then ran the ropes and hit June in the chest with a Pendulum Elbow Drop before running the ropes again and hit her with a Penalty Kick to the face before going for a pin.
Ref: 1…2
"Rally taking back control of this match, and Juniper has to be discombobulated right now thanks to that kick to the face!" Bob exclaimed as Rally hit a jumping leg drop across Juniper's throat before picking her up. The crowd cheered as Rally hit Juniper in the face with multiple forearms to the face before kicking her in the gut, doubling Juniper over. Rally then ran the ropes, and when June stood back up on her feet, Rally hit her with a Single Leg Dropkick to the face, sending her falling to the ground.
"Rally with another kick right to the face!" Kotoko exclaimed as Rally ran the ropes and sent June crashing onto the outside with a running baseball slide dropkick, sending June falling to the outside face first. Rally went up to the second turnbuckle and showed the crowd the Devil horns again, causing the crowd to cheer louder. June started staggering back to her feet, pounding on the apron in frustration, but Rally noticed her getting back up, and ran the ropes to hit a suicide dive through the ropes, knocking June down on the ground.
"June with a vicious suicide dive onto Juniper Lee and the crowd is going nuts!" Striker exclaimed as Rally mounted June once again and started punching her in the face before picking her up by the hair and slamming her head into the apron multiple times. Rally then kept June's head on the apron before backing away from her, before running for an attempted Drive-By kick, causing the crowd to cheer. However, the crowd booed as Juniper picked her head off of the apron and was able to hit a running Rally with a back suplex onto the apron.
Ref: 1…2…3
"Oh, God! A suplex sending Rally's back crashing into the steel apron!" Bob exclaimed. June then picked Rally up off of the apron and started punching her in the head. The crowd booed as June shrugged at the crowd's negative reaction before hitting her with a snap vertical suplex onto the floor. Rally started screaming in pain as June got back to her feet and started kicking her in the back as the crowd continued to chant for Rally and boo Juniper.
Ref: …4…5
"Juniper now going after Rally's back with kicks," Kotoko explained as June nodded at the referee before throwing Rally back into the ring. The crowd booed as she rolled back into the ring, and then ran the ropes and hit a jumping leg drop to the back of her neck before going for a pin.
Ref: 1…
June picked Rally up and started hitting her with multiple forearms to the face before throwing her into the corner. The crowd continued to boo as June turned Rally around, with her face turned towards the turnbuckles before June started hitting her multiple elbows and forearms to the small of her back. The crowd continued to chant for Rally, as June started yelling that she liked quiet when she was wrestling. June then ran the ropes and hit a jumping knee to Rally's back in the corner before hitting her with another back suplex before lifting her legs up for a pinfall.
Ref: 1…2
"It's very smart for June to target Rally's back, as one of her finishers, the AK-47 (Go to Sleep), relies on her carrying her opponent over her shoulders," Striker explained as June rolled Rally on her back, and then ran the ropes to hit her in the middle of the back with a jumping knee drop. The crowd booed as June started stomping on Rally's back as she started mocking Rally, yelling at her that she was better than her.
"June may have an ego the size of Jupiter, but she knows what she's doing inside the square circle," Kotoko admitted as June picked Rally up and grabbed her in a Cravate position. The crowd booed as June yelled in Rally's face and slammed her back into her knee multiple times before sending her down with a Cravate Neckbreaker before going for another pin, hooking both of her legs back.
Ref: 1…2.
June pounded the mat in frustration before she picked Rally up and put her in position for a Side Slam Backbreaker, but Rally tried to fight out of the hold by kicking June in the face, causing the crowd to cheer. Rally was able to escape the move and started kicking June in the legs before running the ropes, attempting a clothesline.
"Rally looks like she's getting back into this match!" Striker exclaimed as when Rally rebounded, June hit a Tilt-a-Whirl backbreaker onto Rally, causing the crowd to boo before hitting her with another backbreaker and going for a pin.
Ref: 1…2.
"You were saying, Matt?" Bob joked as June turned Rally on her stomach, held her down with both hands, and started dropping multiple knees to Rally's back before hitting her with a twisting shooting star press to her back. June then grabbed both of Rally's legs and locked her in a Boston Crab, causing the crowd to boo as Rally started gritting her teeth in pain as she tried to get her chest off of the mat.
"June with the Boston Crab, bending her back in half as Rally tries to relieve some of the pressure by getting off of the canvas!" Striker exclaimed as Rally started dragging herself to the ropes. The crowd cheered as Rally, while also trying to get her chest off of the mat, was getting closer to the ropes, despite June's attempts at keeping her in the center of the ring. However, just as Rally was able to make it to the ropes, June let go of one of Rally's legs, and rolled her back to the center of the ring, causing the crowd to boo as she continued to stretch Rally's back out with a Single Leg Boston Crab.
"Rally so close to escaping, but June able to use her technical prowess to not only keep the hold locked in but moving her further away from the ropes!" Kotoko exclaimed in shock as June started punching Rally in the knee while keeping her in the Single Leg Boston Crab, but Rally countered with multiple elbows to the sides of June. June kept the hold locked in, but Rally did not let up on the elbows, and after about twenty more seconds, June let go of the hold, causing the crowd to cheer as Rally started crawling towards the ropes for some reprieve while holding her back in pain.
"Rally finally able to escape the Single Leg Boston Crab, but it's come to the point where she has to use the ropes to stand herself up," Bob explained as June noticed Rally leaning against the ropes, and ran at her, attempting the June Effect (Running Flying Fish Hook), but Rally was able to pull the bottom rope down, sending June falling out of the ring, and onto the padded concrete below, causing the crowd to cheer as Rally tried to crack her back to make some of the pain go away.
"And June is sent flying over the top rope thanks to some quick thinking from the Second City Shooter!" Striker exclaimed as Rally noticed June starting to stagger back to her feet. The crowd cheered as Rally grabbed the top rope with both of her hands, and springboarded out of the ring with a Corkscrew Plancha onto June, causing the crowd to cheer as Rally immediately picked June back up and threw her back into the ring. However, she left her head hanging outside over the bottom rope. The crowd continued to cheer as Rally backed away from June slightly before running at June and hitting her with a Drive-By Kick to the side of the head.
"Rally getting back into this match, but you can see that her back is still giving her issues," Kotoko noted as Rally held her back once again before rolling into the ring, and waited for June to get up, getting the fans to clap along with her as they cheered her on. When June got back to her feet, Rally ran at her with a back elbow to the face, grabbed her by the hair, and paint brushed her with multiple open palm strikes before hitting June with a spinning kick to the gut. The crowd continued to cheer as Rally ran the ropes and hit June with a swinging neckbreaker before hitting a corkscrew senton to the chest before she started climbing up the top rope.
"Rally knocked June back down to the ground, and is looking to finish the job with a top rope move!" Bob exclaimed as Rally tried to balance herself on the top rope, while also holding her back in pain. This window of time allowed June to stagger back to her feet, and punch Rally in the face, causing the crowd to boo as June hit multiple punches to her face before climbing up to the second rope. June attempted to put Rally in position for a Superplex, causing the crowd to cheer before Rally hit June in the face with a headbutt, pushing her off of the middle rope, sending her staggering on her feet.
"And Rally able to fight back, putting June in position!" Striker exclaimed as Rally dived off of the top rope and hit June with a Diving Clothesline, causing the crowd to cheer loudly as Rally pinned June.

"And Rally has the Anaconda Vise locked in! June may have to tap out here!" Kotoko exclaimed as Rally rolled June back to the center of the ring, causing the crowd to cheer. However, the crowd booed as June started kneeing Rally in the back of the head multiple times, allowing her to push Rally off and escape the Anaconda Vise. June then ran at Rally attempting a clothesline, but Rally countered with a Snap Powerslam before going for another pin, hooking both of her legs back.
Ref: 1…2..
June kicked out, and Rally immediately picked her up and attempted to hit her with the AK-47 (G.T.S.). However, June raked Rally's eyes and was able to escape the AK-47 (G.T.S.) before running the ropes and hitting Rally with a June Effect (Running Flying Fish Hook). June then rolled Rally up with an Oklahoma Roll.
Ref: 1…2..
"Rally barely able to kick out after that devastating high knee to the face, and June looks absolutely shocked!" Striker exclaimed as June picked Rally up, and attempted to hit her with the Underworld Plunge (Reverse Tombstone Piledriver), but Rally pushed June off and hit her with a Basement Dropkick to the side of the head. The crowd cheered as Rally once again went up to the top rope, and with June still down on the floor, Rally balanced herself on the top rope and dived off of the top rope with a diving elbow drop, but June was able to move out of the way at the last second, causing the crowd to boo.
"Oh, God! Rally missed the diving elbow drop, landing arm first on the canvas from that height!" Bob exclaimed as June grabbed Rally and threw her into the steel ring post arm first before dragging her out of the corner and hitting her with the Underworld Plunge (Reverse Tombstone Piledriver). The crowd booed as June pinned Rally, hooking both of her legs back with her wrist pushing into her face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Juniper Lee!" Tony Chimel announced as Juniper rolled out of the ring and took the microphone away from Chimel, causing the crowd to boo louder than they already were.
"June Fact #365; Rally never stood a chance against me!" June exclaimed, out of breath before pushing the microphone back into Chimel's hands before running a victory lap around the ring, much to the crowd's chagrin. Rally was being checked on by the referee as she tried to get back on her feet while having a hand over her head.
"June getting a big victory on Intensity over a former contender for the BTWF Women's Championship!" Striker exclaimed as June ran up the entranceway with both her fists in the air as Rally grabbed the ropes and staggered back to her feet. The crowd continued to boo as Rally glared at an ecstatic June, who paid no mind to her furious rival.
"Rally looks so frustrated by this loss, but Juniper couldn't care less, as she is riding high off of this victory," Kotoko explained as the camera panned to the backstage interview area, where Melissa Shield was standing next to Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long. Now Yang, last week Flare of the Sisterhood of Darkness shot a fireball in your right eye. Have you been cleared by the BTWF doctors to compete?" Melissa asked as Yang sighed, and put a hand over her bandaged eye.
"Yeah, the company doctors said that I can still compete. But even if they said I couldn't, I would fight it to the fucking end," Yang explained through gritted teeth as she looked down as Melissa raised an eyebrow while Ruby patted Yang on the back to try and calm her down.
"Why would you want to go against the company doctors?" Melissa asked as Yang shot her head up, glaring at Melissa, causing her to back away slightly.
"Look at what those freaks did to me! The vision in my right eye is almost gone and I don't know if I'll ever see out of it again! Where me and Ruby are from, people don't get away with this shit! So at Trouble in Tokyo, I'm going in full force, and whether it's the Sisterhood or Mermaid Heel, me and Ruby are keeping these tag team titles!" Yang yelled out as she pushed the microphone out of her face and stomped away before Ruby brushed Melissa off and apologized before following Yang away from the interview area as the camera panned to a commercial break.
*Commercial Break*
*Commercial Over*
The camera panned back to the backstage area, where Gaara was beating up Fry, Bender, and a couple of security guards. Sunny and Overhaul came running to the scene and glared as they saw Gaara kicking Bender in the head.
"What the hell is wrong with you Gaara!? What the hell are you doing!?" Sunny yelled at Gaara. Gaara turned around, smirked at the two glaring General Managers, and threw Bender to the ground.
"I told you that I wasn't going to take getting screwed out of the International title lying down!" Gaara exclaimed as he got up onto his feet and glared at the two General Managers. Overhaul sighed, and lightly pushed Sunny back as he walked closer to Gaara, confusing him.
"OK, why don't we go somewhere in private, and we can cut a deal to prevent you from doing…this every week," Overhaul explained. Before Sunny could ask what Overhaul had planned, but Gaara smirked at Overhaul and nodded before letting Overhaul lead him away from the scene.
"Overhaul, you sure you're OK with this?" Sunny asked as Overhaul turned back and nodded.
"Don't worry about it, I've dealt with much worse," Overhaul responded as the two walked out of camera range. Sunny shook her head and sighed as the camera panned to the stage, where Stardust's theme song played, causing the crowd to boo as Jellal Fernandes came strutting out of the back, and extended his hands out, as pyro went off behind him.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! In the ring, from Japan, Yuma!" Tony Chimel announced as Yuma looked on at the cheering crowd and raised his fist up. "And his opponent, from the Tower of Heaven, he is 'the Galaxy', Jellal Fernandes!" Tony Chimel announced as Jellal ran up onto the fan barricade and started arguing with the crowd as they booed and insulted him.
"We get our first look at Jellal in a single's capacity here tonight, as we have a guest here with us, another BTWF newcomer, Rolf," Striker introduced as the camera panned to Rolf sitting next to Bob at the commentary desk.
"Thank you for having Rolf with you, Mr. Striking," Rolf responded as Jellal blew paper stars at the crowd before jumping off of the fan barricade and walking towards the announce table, yelling at Rolf. The crowd cheered as Rolf stood up, and Jellal backed away and rolled into the ring, continuing to yell at Rolf while he was climbing up to the top rope.
"You and Jellal have developed quite the rivalry here, huh Rolf?" Kotoko asked as Jellal blew paper stars at the crowd once again before jumping off of the top rope and into the middle of the ring before walking up to Yuma, insulting him and calling him a loser.
"Rolf does not like Jellal's ego. It is the size of my Great Nana's bathtub," Rolf explained as Striker and Kotoko started laughing, which Rolf responded to by looking at them with a raised eyebrow. "Rolf does not know why you are laughing," Rolf stated, as Bob looked at Rolf with a raised eyebrow.
"Well…that was certainly something that I needed to know. Anyway, it looks like the match is about to start," Bob noted as the referee had rung the bell after Yuma and Jellal confirmed they were ready. The crowd booed as Jellal pie-faced Yuma, and pushed him away, which Yuma responded to with multiple kicks to the side of the legs before running the ropes and hitting a running dropkick to Jellal's knee. Yuma then ran the ropes and hit a running dropkick to the side of Jellal's head, causing the crowd to cheer as he staggered into the corner.
"Yuma off to a hot start with his well-educated feet," Striker explained as when Yuma came into the corner, Jellal kicked Yuma in the gut and threw him into the corner.

"Yuma with some impressive athleticism, able to get the first pinfall in this match," Kotoko explained as Yuma picked Jellal up, and hit him with multiple knife-edge chops before hitting him with a spinning kick to the gut, sending Jellal staggering into the corner.
"Rolf remembers Jellal getting into a…Twotter fight with a female recently," Rolf brought up as Yuma started ramming his shoulder into Jellal's gut.
"You mean 'Twitter' fight, and yes, Jellal Fernandes got into it with S7W owner Kokonoe Mercury after she had brought up…some unsavory things from Jellal's past that he wanted to keep secret," Bob explained as Yuma attempted to hit a jumping spin kick onto Jellal, but Jellal ducked out of the way, and hit Yuma with a German Suplex, sending the back of his neck into the top turnbuckle, causing the crowd to boo and wince as Jellal smirked at Yuma's face, which was contorted in pain.
"And Jellal just sent the back of Yuma's neck into the turnbuckle!" Striker exclaimed in worry as Jellal ran into the corner and started stomping on Yuma's gut, sending him down to the bottom turnbuckle. Jellal continued stomping on Yuma's chest before the referee stepped in and pulled him away. Jellal, once the referee got away from him, ran the ropes and hit Yuma in the face with a Running Face Wash, causing the crowd to boo louder before Jellal dragged Yuma to the center of the ring and went for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
"Jellal showing off a lot of aggression now that he's in control," Kotoko noted as Jellal mounted Yuma and started punching him in the face. The crowd continued to boo as Jellal turned Yuma on his stomach, put him in a front facelock, and started clubbing on the back of his neck.
"Rolf must admit that Jelly is very smart, going after the damaged neck like that," Rolf pointed out as Jellal then picked Yuma up while he was still in the front facelock, and hit him with a DDT. The crowd continued to boo as Jellal ran the ropes and hit a jumping elbow drop to the back of Yuma's neck. The crowd continued to boo as Jellal started stepping on the back of Yuma's neck before the referee pulled him off and started checking on Yuma to see if he could still continue.

"And Yuma finally able to get some reprieve away from Jellal!" Kotoko exclaimed as Yuma rolled to the ropes, and started using the ropes to pull himself back up to his feet, causing the crowd to cheer as Jellal got back to his feet, holding his jaw in pain, before attempting to punch Yuma in the face.

Yuma laid down on the ground for a few moments, before kipping up back to his feet, causing the crowd to cheer as he held his neck in pain once he got back to his feet.
"Yuma is back in this match, but his neck is still in some severe pain! Can he hold on long enough to get the victory!?" Striker asked as Yuma waited for Jellal to get back on his feet, and when he did, Yuma ran the ropes and hit two clotheslines, a running dropkick, a jumping enziguri, and threw him into the corner. The crowd continued to cheer as Yuma ran into the corner and hit Jellal with a jumping spin kick to the face before putting Jellal in a Fireman's Carry.
"Yuma finally getting some momentum on his side, once again showing his quickness of feet!" Kotoko exclaimed as Rolf took off his headset and continued focusing on the match before Yuma hit Jellal with a gutbuster and a Swinging Fisherman's Suplex before going for another pin.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, 'the Galaxy' Jellal Fernandes!" Tony Chimel announced as Jellal got back to his feet and yelled at the referee to raise his hand up, which he did. The referee then let go of Jellal after a moment before running to Yuma to check on him as Yuma was holding the back of his neck while down.
"Jellal with a dominant performance in this match, and Rolf appears to have gotten the message that Jellal was trying to send," Striker explained as Rolf stepped away from the commentary table as he and Jellal started arguing with each other. The crowd chanted for Rolf as Jellal turned around and saw the referee pick Yuma back off of his feet. The crowd booed as Jellal turned back around and sent Yuma down with a big boot to the face.
"Oh, why the hell is he doing this!? Jellal won the match, why is he attacking a defenseless Yuma!?" Kotoko asked in disgust as Rolf immediately ran into the ring, and the crowd cheered as he grabbed Jellal by the hair, turned him around, and started punching him in the face before Irish whipping him into the ropes, attempting a Pop-Up Samoan Drop. However, Jellal held onto the ropes and rolled out of the ring, causing the crowd to boo as Rolf went to check on Yuma alongside the referee.
"Thankfully, Rolf was here to prevent Jellal from giving more damage to Yuma," Bob responded as Jellal and Rolf continued to argue as Jellal made his way to the back. Rolf and the referee helped Yuma back to his feet as the camera panned backstage, where Victor Calavera was standing next to Dipper, who had bags underneath his eyes and was looking around frantically while holding onto his championship for dear life.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the BTWF International Champion Dipper Pines, who…looks like he hasn't slept in days," Victor trailed off as he faced Dipper, who took the microphone out of his hands.
"Yeah, I haven't slept in almost a week! Sunny and Overhaul are keeping this secret from me who I'll be defending my International Championship against! Every night, I have the fear that my #1 contender is going to break into my house and steal my International Championship!" Dipper exclaimed, running his hands through his hair.
"I…don't think that would happen, but anyway, tonight you're going one on one with the BTWF Cruiserweight Champion Crona Gorgon later tonight-" Victor started before Dipper's eyes shot up and he grabbed the microphone.
"Wait! Crona! He might be the #1 contender! Why else would that jackass Sunny put him in a match against me!?" Dipper asked himself before he walked off, mumbling to himself and leaving Victor dumbfounded.
"But Crona already has a match scheduled for the PPV—and he's gone," Victor said with a sigh before the camera panned to the stage, where the lights turned gray, and a video played on the TitanTron of a man in a suit coming on stage with a giant megaphone in his hands.
"Gather round everyone, and witness the debonair devastation of such exquisite sophistication! Miyuki Shirogane, Akira Tsubaki, the Vaudevillians!" the man said before spotlights appeared on the stage, revealing Akira flexing, and Miyuki looking up with his hands behind him. The two then went to the center of the stage as the Vaudevillians' third theme song played, as the two shook hands, and put up their dukes before turning around and making their way to the ring.
"And here come the Vaudevillians, who are looking to get momentum back on their side after being unable to unseat the BTWF Tag Team Champions at New Horizons," Striker explained as Miyuki walked to the ring with one hand behind his back as Akira ran around his partner and the entranceway, showing off his impressive cardio before the two made it to ringside.
"And what better way to do that than defeating the newest team in the BTWF that is the talk of the BTWF fanbase?" Kotoko asked as Akira ran up the steel steps and into the ring as Miyuki went to another side of the ring and jumped up to the ring apron, extending his arms out as Akira ran up behind him and shot both of his fists up, much to the crowd's chagrin. However, when they both got into the ring, TM-61's 'Stand Tall' theme played, causing the crowd to cheer as Tanjiro and Ganta came out of the back.
"The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall! Making their way to the ring, from Japan, the team of Tanjiro Kamado and Ganta Igarashi, the Japanese Destroyers!" Tony Chimel announced as Tanjiro kneeled onto one knee and clapped his hands together as Ganta raised his right fist behind Tanjiro.
"The Japanese Destroyers are scheduled to team up with 'Ace' Hitman Jones and Mirio Togata against Fiore's Top Team and the Yu-Gi-Bromans at Trouble in Tokyo, and they want to get some momentum heading into that match," Bob explained as Tanjiro and Ganta started making their way to the ring, hi-fiving fan on their way to the ring as the Vaudevillians started going over strategy in their side to the ring.
"That's right Bob, but the Vaudevillians also want momentum so they can get back in the title hunt," Striker explained as Tanjiro and Ganta rolled into the ring, doing the same pose they did on stage in the ring, causing the crowd to cheer. The two then went into their corner and confirmed that they were ready for the match. The referee asked the Vaudevillians if they were ready, and when they confirmed, the referee rang the bell, starting the match.
"And the match is now underway," Kotoko stated as Akira and Ganta started the match, and walked to the center of the ring. The two locked up in the middle of the ring, with the two struggling to push the other away. The crowd booed as Akira took Ganta down with a Drop Toe Hold, and attempted to put him in a headlock, but Ganta was able to slip out of it and kick Akira in the back. The crowd cheered as Ganta picked Akira up and chopped him in the chest multiple times before throwing him into the corner.
"Ganta has taken the advantage for his team early on with a series of chops," Striker narrated as Ganta tagged Tanjiro into the match. Ganta ran at Akira with a running forearm to the face, and when Akira staggered out of the corner, Tanjiro hit him with a reverse atomic drop. The crowd cheered as Tanjiro and Ganta hit Akira with a double dropkick before Tanjiro and Ganta hit a jumping senton/jumping fist drop combination before Tanjiro went for the pin and Ganta rolled onto the apron.

"This is one thing that separates Ganta and Tanjiro from other tag teams is that since they're familiar with each other as opponents, they were able to get in sync with each other much faster," Kotoko explained as Tanjiro picked Akira up and started kicking him in the chest before pushing him into the corner. Tanjiro then jumped in place, taunting Miyuki to come into the ring, and Miyuki responded by tagging himself into the match. Miyuki ran at Tanjiro, but the crowd cheered as Tanjiro hit multiple arm drags onto Miyuki before rolling him into a cover.

"Tanjiro showcasing the confidence that allowed him to become a multiple-time IWGP Light Heavyweight Champion," Bob explained as Miyuki kicked out and quickly got back to his feet, but Tanjiro responded with a kick to the chest before running the ropes and hitting him with a jumping kick to the chest. The crowd continued to cheer as Tanjiro turned his back to Miyuki and hit him with a standing moonsault. Tanjiro then dragged Miyuki into the corner and tagged Ganta back into the match, causing the crowd to cheer as Tanjiro kept Miyuki down, allowing Ganta to springboard into the ring with an elbow drop.
"Ganta is back in the match, hitting Miyuki right in the chest with a devastating springboard elbow drop," Striker explained as Ganta went for the pin.
Ref: 1…2
Ganta picked Miyuki up and started hitting him with elbows to the face before putting him in position for a suplex, and hit him with a twisting neckbreaker suplex before running the ropes and hitting him with a knee drop. Ganta then tried to go up to the top rope, but the crowd booed as Akira attempted to go into the ring, but Ganta noticed and started punching him in the face. However, Ganta did not notice Miyuki staggering to his feet, so when he turned back around, Miyuki kicked Ganta in the side of the head, sending him on his knees.
"Oh, God! What a kick to the side of the head from Miyuki!" Kotoko winced. The crowd booed as Miyuki ran the ropes and hit Ganta in the face with a Yakuza Kick, sending him falling on his back before tagging Akira into the match. Miyuki picked Ganta up, allowing him, and Akira started hitting Ganta with multiple punches to the face, before finishing with a massive double gut punch.
"Miyuki has taken control of this match thanks to that massive kick!" Bob exclaimed as Akira picked Ganta up and hit him with multiple European Uppercuts. The crowd continued to boo as Akira hit Ganta with a scoop slam and then ran the ropes to hit a jumping elbow to Ganta's chest. The crowd booed as Akira then did multiple push-ups next to Ganta, before jumping up and hitting a twisting splash onto Ganta's chest before going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2
"That is some serious arm and core strength by Akira for him to go from a push-up to a splash so easily," Kotoko explained as Akira put Ganta in a front facelock, and tagged Miyuki into the match. The crowd booed as Miyuki ran the ropes and hit a running knee drop to Ganta's back before Akira let go and rolled onto the apron. Miyuki mounted Ganta and started punching him in the face until the referee pulled him off.

Ref: 1…2.
"Miyuki doing the right thing by slowing the pace of this match down, and keeping Ganta away from his fresh partner," Striker explained as Miyuki grabbed Ganta by the hair, and slammed his head on the top turnbuckle a couple of times before tagging Akira back into the match. Miyuki put Ganta in a suplex position, and when Akira was behind him, the two hit Ganta with a Powerbomb/Neckbreaker combination. However, rather than go for a pin, Akira grabbed both of Ganta's arms and put him in a Straight Jacket hold.
"The straight jacket is applied, with both arms digging into the mouth and nose of Ganta, making it difficult for him to breathe!" Striker exclaimed as Ganta tried to drag himself to the ropes, causing the crowd to cheer, but Akira kneed him in the back multiple times, dragged him back to the center of the ring, and continued stretching him with the Straight Jacket. However, after thirty more seconds in the hold, Ganta got back to his feet, causing the crowd to cheer as Ganta started hitting Akira in the gut with multiple elbows.
"Ganta is escaping the straight jacket! He may be able to get to his corner!" Bob exclaimed as Akira grabbed Ganta by the hair and attempted to hit him with a German Suplex. However, Ganta was able to land on his feet, causing the crowd to cheer as he hit an enziguri to the back of Akira's head, sending both men down. Ganta then started crawling to the corner to get to Tanjiro, but Akira was also crawling towards his corner. After about ten seconds, both men were able to tag their respective partners into the match, causing the crowd to cheer as Tanjiro ran into the ring and hit multiple chops and right-handed jabs to Miyuki's face, before sending him down with a dropkick.
"Tanjiro coming in like a house of fire! And unfortunately, Miyuki has been caught up in that fire!" Striker exclaimed as Tanjiro Irish whipped Miyuki into the ropes, and when he rebounded, hit him with a Frankensteiner. The crowd continued to cheer as Tanjiro put Miyuki in a seated position, and hit him with a kick to the side of the head before running the ropes and hitting him with a running leg drop across the throat.
"A leg drop right to the throat and Tanjiro has gotten the Japanese Destroyers right back into this match!" Kotoko exclaimed as Tanjiro ran the ropes and hit a springboard twisting splash onto Miyuki. The crowd cheered as Tanjiro twirled his fingers around each other, indicating it was time for the Japanese Destroyer (Canadian Destroyer). However, when Tanjiro tried to hit the Japanese Destroyer (Canadian Destroyer), but Miyuki back body dropped Tanjiro behind him. However, the crowd cheered as Tanjiro landed on his feet, and when Miyuki turned around, Tanjiro hit him with a Pele Kick before going for the pin.

Akira was knocked down, and Ganta threw Akira out of the ring and onto his feet, and then hit him with a springboard senton, sending him to the ground causing the crowd to cheer. However, Miyuki ran at Ganta, sending him crashing into the fan barricade with a running baseball slide to the back.

"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, the team of Tanjiro Kamado and Ganta Igarashi!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd cheered. The referee lifted Tanjiro's fist up, causing the crowd to cheer louder as Ganta celebrated on the outside. However, before Ganta could get back into the ring, the crowd booed as the Yu-Gi-Bromans came running from the audience and started stomping and punching Ganta.
"The Japanese Destroyers have won the match, but the Yu-Gi-Bromans are here, laying in a 3 on 1 beatdown onto Ganta!" Striker exclaimed as Tanjiro attempted to get out of the ring to help Ganta. However, the crowd booed louder when Gray Fullbuster and Lyon Bastia, Fiore's Top Team, came running from behind with Gray hitting a chop block to the back of Tanjiro's knee. Lyon then grabbed both of Tanjiro's legs, and locked him in the Ice Pick (Sharpshooter), causing the crowd to boo as Gray stomped on his head.
"And now Fiore's Top Team are joining in on the beatdown, trying to give themselves an advantage heading into Trouble in Tokyo!" Kotoko exclaimed. However, the crowd started cheering as Hitman and Mirio came running from the back. Hitman ran into the ring and hit a diving Tope Con Hilo onto the Yu-Gi-Bromans, sending them both down. Mirio kicked Lyon in the face, knocking him away from Tanjiro before grabbing Gray by the throat and throwing him into the corner.
"Thankfully, Mirio and Hitman are here to help their partners for Trouble in Tokyo!" Bob exclaimed as Mirio grabbed Gray and hit him with a double-handed choke toss before hitting Lyon with a spinning leg lariat. Meanwhile, on the outside, Hitman threw DJ Yugi into the steel steps and punched Joey Wheeler in the face repeatedly until Tristan Taylor grabbed him by the hair and attempted to throw him into the apron. However, Mirio ran out of the ring and started hitting Tristan in the face with punches to the face.
"And Mirio and Hitman sending their opponents for Trouble in Tokyo packing to the back!" Striker exclaimed as the Yu-Gi-Bromans started brawling with Mirio and Hitman. In the ring, Tanjiro had gotten back to his feet and started brawling with Gray and Lyon by himself before Ganta rolled back into the ring and joined in on the brawl.
"Things are getting really chaotic out here folks! We're going to take a quick commercial break, and hopefully, we'll have things calmed down by the time we come back!" Kotoko exclaimed as the camera panned to all the wrestlers brawling around and in the ring before panning to the commercial break.
*Commercial Break*
*Commercial Over*
The camera panned to the backstage interview area, where Scott Stanford was standing next to Blake Belladonna with a microphone in his hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time, BTWF newcomer Blake Belladonna. Now, Blake, you have issued an open challenge that could be answered by anyone from other companies," Scott explained as Blake nodded.
"Yes, I did. I want to show everyone in the BTWF that I can be the top star that many people have called me while I was training. And what better way to prove that than by beating some wrestlers from another company?" Blake asked as Scott nodded before putting the microphone back under his mouth.
"Have you gotten any requests?" Scott asked as Blake nodded.
"Actually, yes I have. I got a few women from FEWS and LWF: Reborn who have contacted me on Twitter about having a match with me. I'm still going through them to see which one would give me the best fight," Blake explained as Scott nodded as Blake continued.
"I'm studying tapes of them right now, and I'd like to get back to that if you don't mind," Blake said, as Scott nodded and backed away from her before Blake left and went back to her locker room as the camera panned to the ring, where 'MANTRA' by Bring Me the Horizon played, causing the crowd to boo as Dipper Pines came out with Duncan accompanying him to the ring.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, representing the NWO and accompanied to the ring by Duncan, from Gravity Falls Oregon, he is the BTWF International Champion, 'Badass' Dipper Pines!" Tony Chimel announced as Dipper started frantically looking around while trying to hide his International Championship while Duncan was trying to calm him down.
"With all the stress Dipper is having over who the #1 contender to his International Championship at Trouble in Tokyo, he doesn't look much like a badass," Striker noted as Dipper started yelling at fans, keeping his International Championship away from them as Duncan continued to try in vain to calm him down. Dipper then rolled into the ring and took his International Championship off of his waist, glaring at the referee before hesitantly giving it to him.
"Well can you blame him, Matt? I mean, wouldn't you be stressed out if you had to defend your championship against someone you didn't know? I mean for all we know, Sunny could've gotten Nails, or Meng, or Conor McGregor as his opponent," Bob countered as Kotoko chuckled at Bob's ridiculous guesses, while Dipper went up to the middle rope and started arguing with fans before 'Nightmares' by Conquer Divide played, causing the crowd to cheer as Crona Gorgon came running out of the back with his Cruiserweight Championship around his waist.
"And his opponent, from Death City Nevada, he is the BTWF Cruiserweight Champion, Crona Gorgon!" Tony Chimel announced as Crona raised his finger in the air before making his way to the ring, patting his Cruiserweight Championship as he hi-fived fans on his way to the ring. Crona gave a quick glare to Duncan before rolling into the ring and jumping onto the middle rope, shooting his fist up before pointing to the sky again.
"Crona does have a history with Duncan back when he was battling Marco of the NWO for the Cruiserweight Championship, so he has to be careful when it comes to Duncan on the outside," Striker explained as Crona jumped back into the ring and took the title off of his waist and lifted it over his head, while Dipper yelled at him that he wasn't going to take the International Championship off of him.
"I mean you have a point Bob, but is he really delusional enough to think Crona is going to challenge him?" Kotoko asked as the referee separated both Crona and Dipper to the other sides of the ring before ringing the bell. Dipper and Crona circled each other, with the crowd waiting to see who made the first move. Crona and Dipper both started walking towards each other, and were trying to lock up, but the crowd booed as Dipper kicked Crona in the gut and put him in a headlock, causing the crowd to boo as Duncan started yelling in approval.
"Dipper able to get the headlock on Crona, faking him out with that attempted test of strength," Striker explained as Crona was able to slip out of Dipper's headlock, and hit him in his own headlock, causing the crowd to cheer as Crona send him down to the ground. Dipper was able to slip out of the headlock and put Crona in a headscissors, causing the crowd to boo as Dipper started punching Crona in the face. Crona was able to kip up out of the headscissors and put Dipper back in a headlock.
"Some technical wrestling to start this match, which is surprising given the dirty way Dipper got the first move in this match," Kotoko stated as Dipper tried to drag himself out of the headlock, but Crona kept him locked in, and rolled him back to the center of the ring, causing the crowd to cheer as Duncan started pounding on the mat, telling Dipper to get off of his feet.
"Well, I can only imagine that Crona wants to show Dipper that he can beat him on the ground as well as in the sky," Bob responded as Dipper started getting back to his feet, and attempted to hit him with a leg drop, but Crona was able to move out of the way and grab Dipper's legs. The crowd cheered as Dipper attempted to lock him in a Figure-4-Leglock, but Dipper was able to push him off, causing the crowd to boo as Dipper got back to his feet and wrung his right arm multiple times.
"You know, with all the stress that Dipper has been going through, it's pretty impressive that he was going out there, and wrestling proficiently in the ring," Striker complimented as Crona was able to send Dipper down with a Japanese Arm Drag, and then locked him in an armlock, causing the crowd to cheer. However, Dipper was able to get back to his feet, and much to the crowd's chagrin started poking Crona in the eye, sending him walking into the corner.
"Dipper with a Greco Roman finger to the eye!" Bob exclaimed as Dipper attempted to punch Crona, but Crona was able to duck the punch and hit multiple punches to Dipper's face in the corner. The crowd cheered as Crona climbed up to the 2nd rope, and hit Dipper with the Ten Punch Salute before taking him out of the corner with a Monkey Flip. The crowd continued to cheer as Crona ran at Dipper and hit him with a leg drop before flipping Duncan off and going for the pin.

"Dipper breaking the technical portion of this match, but Crona is able to take control with multiple right hands," Striker explained as Crona picked Dipper up and hit him with multiple forearms to the face before Irish whipping him into the ropes. Dipper rebounded and was able to dodge an attempted clothesline by Crona, but he was able to dodge Dipper's attempt at a clothesline, and when Dipper rebounded again, Crona hit him with a jumping back elbow. The crowd cheered as Crona ran the ropes and hit a jumping senton splash.
"Crona with a senton onto Dipper's chest!" Kotoko exclaimed as the crowd cheered when Crona mounted Dipper and started elbowing him in the face. Crona then picked up Dipper and attempted to pick him up for a Fireman's Carry, but Dipper started hitting him with multiple elbows to the side of the head and then threw him onto the apron. However, Crona was able to stay on the apron, causing the crowd to cheer.
"Crona was able to keep himself on the apron, preventing a worse fall," Bob explained as Dipper noticed Crona was still on the apron and attempted to hit him with a spear off of the apron, but Crona countered with a kick to the face. The crowd cheered as Crona picked Dipper up by the hair and started hitting him with multiple forearms before hitting him with a shoulder thrust.

The crowd booed as Dipper ran the ropes and hit Crona with a Rolling Wheel Kick, causing Crona to fall off of the apron and onto the padded concrete back first.
"And Dipper may have just completely taken control there with that unique kick!" Striker exclaimed as Dipper started arguing with the referee, distracting him as Duncan ran to Crona, and threw him into the fan barricade before stomping and kicking him in the chest. The crowd booed louder as Duncan ran away from Crona as the referee returned his attention to the outside of the ring.
"Dipper allowing Duncan to attack the BTWF Cruiserweight Champion to gain an extra advantage in this match!" Kotoko exclaimed as Dipper rolled out of the ring and started stomping on Crona before yelling at the booing crowd.

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, he is the BTWF Cruiserweight Champion, Crona Gorgon!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd cheered while the ring attendant handed the referee Crona's BTWF Cruiserweight Championship. Crona staggered back to his feet and put both his hands on his back, raising his fist up.
"It was a hard-fought battle, but Crona was able to defeat the BTWF International Champion in the middle of the ring!" Striker exclaimed as Crona was given the BTWF Cruiserweight Championship from the referee. Duncan pulled an unconscious Dipper out of the ring and carried him to the back as the crowd continued to cheer Crona's celebration in the ring.
"Dipper may have wrestled well in this match, but you have to wonder if his mystery opponent was still in the back of his mind during the match," Kotoko wondered out loud as the crowd started booing, causing Crona to raise an eyebrow and turn to the stage, where he saw Kazuma Sato along with Megumin, Aqua, and Darkness, and Kazuma had a microphone in his hand.
"Well, congratu-fucking-lations on your victory Crona. I've been working on getting this X-Scape match cancelled, which is why no announcement has been made about any participants aside from the two of us," Kazuma explained, causing Crona to give him a sarcastic clap as Kazuma glared at him.
"Yeah, keep being all cocky and arrogant, but when my lawyers get me my one on one match for the Cruiserweight Championship, you won't be laughing," Kazuma countered as Crona walked to the ropes and opened up the middle of the ropes, telling Kazuma to come into the ring and confront him.
"Yeah…no. Listen, I know that you're still in a fighting mood, but me…I'm more in a waiting mood. Me destroying you should be saved for PPV, and not some random episode of Intensity. I just came out to let you know that you should hold on to that Cruiserweight title for the rest of the day, as it's going to be around my 15/10 waist very soon," Kazuma finished before dropping the microphone and heading back to the locker room.
"Well, it looks like Kazuma has his lawyers still trying to get him a one-on-one match. I doubt it's going to happen, but I would be shocked if he ended up doing it," Striker explained as Crona shook his head while laughing, before raising the Cruiserweight Championship over his head once again, causing the crowd to start cheering again.
"You should never underestimate the tenacity of a group of lawyers, Matt," Bob responded before the camera panned to the locker room, where Hana was seen punching a punching bag with a picture of Minatsuki Tamaki on it.
"I'm sick and tired of all this bullshit with Minatsuki. I want to focus on getting the BTWF Women's Championship around my waist, and the only way to do that is to get Minatsuki the hell out of my life," Hana said, not looking at the camera before she started kicking the picture of Hana multiple times.
"So Minatsuki, I'm going to warn you that what happens to you isn't going to be a fun time. In fact, I am going to make our match at Trouble in Tokyo the most miserable time of your twisted and warped life! So be ready Minatsuki, because I sure as hell will be!" Hana exclaimed before kicking the punching bag off of the chain, causing it to fall to the ground. Hana then stomped on the picture of Minatsuki before the camera panned to a commercial break.

The camera panned to the backstage interview area, where Jay Hunter was standing next to a dejected-looking Boze and Shane.
"Ladies and gentlemen, during the commercial break, Huey Freeman has asked for time so that Boze and Shane can give us a message regarding the BTWF Tag Team title match at Trouble in Tokyo against the Brotherhood," Jay explained before putting the microphone under Boze's mouth. Boze and Shane looked at each other before Boze sighed and started talking.
"That's right Jay, we are here to tell the Brotherhood that Vincent and Cleveland Jr. are out training along with Kilik and will be ready to beat them at the PPV," Boze said in a solemn tone before Shane moved the microphone closer to his mouth.
"That's right. Huey has shared his message with us, and we are 100% in support of it. Winning the tag team titles will only bring Huey closer to sharing his message with the populous," Shane said in the same solemn tone. Before Jay could respond, Boze and Shane walked away with their heads down, dejected before the camera panned to the stage, where Luna started walking out to the ring, without music and a glare on her face, causing the crowd to explode into cheers.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, from New York City, New York, she is 'Amazing' Luna Collins!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued to cheer as Luna stomped to the ring, glaring at the ring.
"One of the conditions for Lucy to sign the contract for Luna's title match was for Luna to have a match with a mystery woman tonight," Striker explained as Luna rolled into the ring and went into the corner, waiting for Lucy's mystery woman as the crowd continued to cheer and chant 'Luna!'.
"And Luna isn't wasting any time getting into the ring, and wants to get this match done, possibly to send Lucy a message," Kotoko explained as BTWF Women's Champion, Lucy Heartfilia, accompanied by the Conglomerate, uncharacteristically walked out of the back with a microphone in her hand.
"Well, it looks like Little Luna can't wait to fight my mystery opponent. And honestly Luna, this is the first time I've ever agreed with you; I can't wait for this match either. Because I know that this woman is going to kick your ass," Lucy said, causing the crowd to boo and chant "Lucy's a Bitch!' at her, causing Onslaught to cover her ears.
"Since you're so desperate to get this match started, I'll tell you who your opponent is. She hasn't been seen on TV for a few weeks, but that's because she has been recording a new album. But I brought her back for tonight because she knows how I could help her career with my…influence. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back Jiro Kyoka!" Lucy introduced, causing the crowd to boo as Jiro came out of the back with her electric guitar in hand.
"Lucy bringing Jiro back from her album recording so that she could wrestle Luna for her, possibly damaging her to give Lucy an edge for their upcoming match," Bob explained as Jiro walked down to the ring, and put her guitar in the corner, causing the crowd to boo as she rolled into the ring. Luna tried to immediately rush up to Jiro, but the referee stopped her and pushed her back before checking if Jiro was ready to go or not.
"Luna is not in a mood to play tonight, and she is ready to destroy her opponent here tonight," Kotoko explained as the referee rang the bell. Luna immediately ran at Jiro with a big boot, causing the crowd to cheer as Luna knocked Jiro down to the ground and started punching her in the face. While Luna got back to her feet and started stomping on Jiro's gut, Lucy told the Conglomerate to surround ringside, causing the crowd to boo as Lucy walked over to the commentary table.
"Luna starting this match off hot, but the Conglomerate want to make sure that this does not last," Striker explained as Lucy put a headset on as Luna picked Jiro up and started hitting her with multiple forearms to the head, sending her staggering into the corner. The crowd continued to cheer as Luna started stomping on Jiro's gut before the referee pulled her out of the corner, causing the crowd to boo.
"Luna is only showing why I was right along and she doesn't deserve a title match! She's clearly dangerous and crazy!" Lucy exclaimed as Luna grabbed Jiro and started headbutting her in the head multiple times in the face before hitting her with a scoop slam. The crowd cheered as Luna ran the ropes and hit Jiro with a leg drop across the throat, causing the crowd to cheer louder as she flipped Lucy off when she got back to her feet.
"Luna showing Lucy exactly what she thinks of her as she continues to dominate the Queen of Song Style," Kotoko explained as Luna attempted to pick Jiro up, but the crowd booed as Jiro kicked Luna in the side a couple of times before getting back onto her feet. The crowd continued to boo as Jiro started punching Luna in the face multiple times before Irish whipping her into the corner.
"And look where that got her!? Jiro has her right where she wants her!" Lucy exclaimed as Jiro attempted to hit a running knee onto Luna, but Luna was able to roll out of the corner, causing Jiro to ram her knee into the top turnbuckle. Luna then grabbed Jiro by the waist and hit her with a German Suplex before rolling into a pin.
Ref: 1…
"And now Luna has Jiro where she wants her after that vicious German Suplex!" Bob exclaimed as Luna picked Jiro up and started kicking her in the chest multiple times. However, Jiro was able to grab Luna's right leg, and sent her down with a Dragon Screw, and attempted to lock her into a Single Leg Boston Crab. The crowd, however, cheered as Luna started kicking Jiro in the face and pushed her away with her feet.
"Jiro trying to go for the Single Leg Boston Crab, but Luna able to use her unmatched leg strength to escape the hold!" Striker exclaimed as Luna kipped up to her feet, much to the crowd's delight, before she hit a Single Leg Running Dropkick onto Jiro, sending her falling into the corner once again. The crowd continued to cheer as Luna ran the ropes and hit multiple running big boots to Jiro's face before sending her out of the corner with a quick Snap Vertical Suplex.
"Well, it's going to take a lot more than strong legs to become the B TWF Women's Champion!" Lucy countered as Luna grabbed Jiro's hands and started stomping on Jiro's chest. Jiro then pushed Luna away and rolled out of the ring, causing the crowd to boo as she started coughing in front of the announcers' table.
"Luna has been decimating Jiro, nearly crushing her ribs with those stomps!" Striker exclaimed as Luna looked over at Jiro, and ran through the ropes to hit her with a suicide dive, causing the crowd to cheer as she sent Jiro on the announcers' table. The crowd continued to cheer as Luna threw Jiro on the announcers' table and started kicking her in the face as she yelled at Lucy, who glared back.
"Luna showing Lucy what possibly could be her future at Trouble in Tokyo!" Kotoko exclaimed as Luna continued to yell at Lucy as she started clubbing Jiro in the back with forearms.
Ref: 1…2…3
"That little peasant is getting too big for her britches out here," Lucy mumbled as she got up from her chair, immediately getting Luna's attention. Luna fought with every fiber of her being to not hit Lucy as Lucy started yelling at her and making fun of her. While Luna started yelling back at Lucy, Jiro got off of the announcers' table, and kicked Luna right in the back, causing the crowd to boo as she slammed Luna's head into the announcers' table multiple times as the referee continued to count them out.
Ref: …4…5
"And thanks to Lucy's distraction, Jiro has gotten control of this match!" Bob exclaimed as Lucy applauded Jiro while she stomped on Luna's side and arm. The crowd continued to boo as Jiro picked Luna up and hit her with a Gourdbuster on top of the announcers' table. Jiro then grabbed Luna by the hair and started clubbing him in the face before throwing her face first into the steel ring post.
Ref: …6…7…8
Jiro noticed that the referee had gotten to an 8 count, and rolled back into the ring, talking to the ref. This distraction allowed Tohru to hit Luna in the side of the head with a bicycle kick, causing the crowd to boo louder as Jiro rolled out of the ring. Jiro playfully kicked Luna in the head and mounted her before she started punching Luna in the face multiple times.
"See!? I told you that peasant wouldn't last! This is why I hire only the best!" Lucy exclaimed as Jiro grabbed Luna by the hair, and slammed her head into the apron multiple times before throwing her back into the ring, with her head downcast and hanging from the apron. Jiro winked at Lucy, before running at Luna with a running knee to the face, sending her back into the ring before Jiro rolled back into the ring and pinned her.
Ref: 1…2.
"And now Jiro is in complete control of this match, which should do well for her album sales," Bob explained as Jiro started stomping on Luna's gut before running the ropes and hitting her with a knee drop to the face. Jiro then picked Luna up by the hair and then threw her into the corner. Jiro started punching Luna in the face multiple times before the referee pulled her back, and when the referee did pull her back, Liz kicked Luna in the back of the head, causing the crowd to boo louder.
"And more interference from the Conglomerate allows Jiro to maintain control of this match!" Striker exclaimed as Jiro immediately started stomping on Luna's gut again, before running the ropes and hitting a running knee to Luna's face this time. The crowd continued to boo as Jiro picked Luna up and hit her with a Vertical Suplex. However, Jiro did not let Luna go, as she hit another Vertical Suplex onto Luna before picking her back up and dropping her onto the top rope with a front suplex.
"Oh! And a front suplex sending her stomach right into the top rope!" Kotoko exclaimed as Jiro put Luna on her knees and started punching her in the face again before running the ropes and knocking her back to the ground with a running dropkick to the face before going for another pinfall.
Ref: 1…2.
Jiro grabbed Luna by the arm and started kicking the side of her arm as Luna applauded the damage done to her arm.
"Jiro learning from me with these shots to the arm!" Lucy exclaimed in excitement as Jiro put Luna in a Hammerlock, and hit her with a back suplex, sending Luna crashing onto her right arm. Luna sat up to hold her arm, allowing Jiro to run the ropes and hit Luna in the face with a Running Penalty Kick before going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2..
Jiro slapped the mat in frustration before she started arguing with the referee, allowing Luna to start crawling to the ropes, trying to shake feeling back into her arm.
"Luna starting to get away from Jiro, but she is still on her stomach," Kotoko explained as Jiro grabbed Luna by the hair, but Luna started kicking Jiro in the legs, causing the crowd to explode into cheers. However, the crowd went back to booing as Jiro grabbed Luna's leg and once again knocked her down with a Dragon Screw, but this time, was able to turn her to her stomach and put her in a Single Leg Boston Crab.
"And Jiro has Luna in the Single Leg Boston Crab!" Bob exclaimed as Luna tried to drag herself to the ropes, causing the crowd to cheer and chant for her. However, Jiro noticed this and raked her in the eyes, causing the crowd to boo before dragging her back to the center of the ring. After a minute in the hold, Luna started elbowing Jiro in the ribs, causing the crowd to cheer as Jiro started loosening her grip on the hold.
"Luna is fighting out of the hold! If she keeps this up, Luna might be able to escape Jiro's grasp!" Striker exclaimed as Luna continued to hit Jiro in the back with elbows until Jiro finally let go. The crowd cheered as Jiro held her back in pain as Luna started staggering back to her feet. Jiro then ran at Luna and attempted to hit her with a clothesline, but Luna was able to dodge, causing Jiro to rebound off of the ropes. When Jiro rebounded, Luna knocked her down with a Frankensteiner, rolling her up for a pin.
Ref: 1...2
Jiro got her arms up, causing the crowd to boo as she was able to roll back into a Single Leg Boston Crab onto Luna's right leg.
"Jiro trying to put Luna back in the Single Leg Boston Crab! If Luna is put back in this hold, she may have to tap out here!" Striker exclaimed as Luna pushed Jiro off of her and into the corner. The crowd cheered as Jiro attempted to hit another running attack on Luna, but Luna was able to counter with a Spinning Heel Kick, causing the crowd to cheer as both women went down to the ground.
"Luna with a Spinning Heel Kick right to the jaw! Both women may be down, but Luna may have finally gotten control back!" Bob exclaimed as Lucy glared at Luna as she got onto all fours while Jiro staggered back to her feet, holding her jaw.
"Luna just got lucky! Just give it a minute, and Jiro will knock her dumb ass out cold!" Lucy yelled in anger as Jiro put Luna in position for the Gutwrench Suplex, and attempted to hit her in the Gutwrench Suplex, but Luna was able to slip out of the hold, causing the crowd to cheer loud as she turned Jiro around. The crowd's cheers grew louder as Luna kicked Jiro in the sides and legs multiple times before hitting Jiro with a dropkick to the face.
"Luna getting momentum back in this match thanks to her patented kicks!" Striker exclaimed as Luna picked Jiro back up, and hit her with a spinning kick to the gut before Irish whipping her into the corner. The crowd continued to cheer loudly as Luna ran into the corner and hit Jiro in the face with a running forearm to the face before hitting her with multiple kicks to the chest before running the ropes again, hitting Jiro in the face with a double running knee strike to the face.
"Luna, burying both of her knees in Jiro's face! I'd be surprised if her nose wasn't broken!" Kotoko exclaimed as Luna grabbed Jiro and sent her down with a snapmare before running the ropes and hitting Jiro with a running penalty kick to the face before going for a pin, hooking both of her legs back.
Ref: 1…2.
"Come on Jiro! I didn't pay you to lose to this peasant!" Lucy yelled at Jiro as Luna picked Jiro up and Irish whipped her into the corner once again. The crowd cheered as Luna put Jiro onto the top turnbuckle, and much to the crowd's delight followed her up there. Luna then started hitting multiple knife-edge chops before hitting Jiro with a top rope Frankensteiner, causing the crowd to explode as Luna backed into the corner and waited for Jiro to get back up.
"And Luna sending Jiro down with a Top Rope Frankensteiner! She's going to finish the—wait a minute!" Bob exclaimed as Patty jumped onto the apron and started yelling at Luna, but Luna kicked Patty in the side of the head. Tohru attempted to get onto the apron too, but Luna saw this coming, and hit Tohru with a rolling wheel kick, sending her falling onto the floor as well. Luna then ran the ropes and knocked Liz and Onslaught down with a basement slide dropkick. The crowd cheered as Luna once again flipped off Luna after taking the Conglomerate down, but Jiro had gotten back to her feet, and attempted to lock Luna in the Silencer (Kirifuda Clutch), causing the crowd to boo.
"That's what you get for running your mouth, you peasant! Jiro is going to choke the pathetic life out of you!" Lucy exclaimed as Luna remained on her feet, as Jiro started punching Luna in the side of the head, seemingly sending Luna down to one knee. However, when Jiro tried to lay down, the crowd exploded as Luna rolled out of the Silencer (Kirifuda Clutch), and when Jiro stood up shocked, Luna kicked Jiro in the side of the head with her High Head Kick before going for a pin.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, 'Amazing' Luna Collins!" Tony Chimel announced as the referee attempted to raise Luna's arm in victory. However, Luna pushed the referee down and immediately dived through the ropes, knocking Liz down with a suicide dive before she started punching her in the face. Jiro meanwhile rolled out of the ring with a hand on the side of her head, and her eyes closed in pain.
"Luna wins the match with a vicious kick to the head, but she doesn't appear to be done sending a message to her opponent!" Striker exclaimed as Patty and Tohru attempted to help Liz, but Luna got off of Liz and grabbed a steel chair from the bottom of the ring. The crowd cheered loudly as Luna smashed the chair into Patty and Tohru's faces. Luna then smirked at a shocked-looking Lucy as she continued smashing the chair across the backs of Liz, Patty, and Tohru before Onslaught started getting up.
"Luna losing her mind with that steel chair! But Onslaught looks to put a stop to it!" Kotoko exclaimed as Onslaught attempted to grab Luna's arms. However, Luna was able to see him coming and kick him in the balls. However, the crowd cheered as Lance Scaper ran down to the ring, dived off of the apron, and tackled Onslaught to the ground. Jiro looked at what was going on around the ring and shook her head before going back to the locker room.
"And here comes Lance Scaper, helping out the #1 contender against the gigantic Onslaught!" Bob exclaimed as while Lance started punching Onslaught in the face, Luna continued hitting the rest of the Conglomerate with the steel chair. Luna then dragged Patty in front of Lucy and held her up, before hitting her right in the face once again with a steel chair.
"If that isn't a message of what is to come for Trouble in Tokyo, then I don't know what is!" Striker exclaimed as Luna picked up a fearful Lucy's BTWF Women's Championship, and raised it above her head, before doing the slit throat taunt at Lucy. Luna then threw the title back onto the announcers' table and walked away, causing the crowd to cheer as Lucy slowly took off her headset and walked towards the Conglomerate while security separated Lance from Onslaught.
"Lucy looks like she's seen the Ghost of Christmas Future, and her future looks absolutely bleak," Kotoko explained as Lucy looked at the fallen members of her Conglomerate before looking at Luna, who walked to the back without looking back at the destruction she caused at ringside.
"Will this be the future for Lucy and the Conglomerate? We will have to wait and see," Bob asked as the camera panned to a colorful, yet bleak room where Minatsuki had her broken Hana doll in her hand. In one hand, Hana had the decapitated head of the doll, and in the other hand, Minatsuki had the rest of the body.
"Oh, Hana…we could've been the best of friends. I don't know why you bullied me and my friends. But that doesn't matter now, because you severed our friendship," Minatsuki mumbled to herself before pulling out a small pocket knife.
"You stabbed me in the back Hana, so it's only fair if I stab you in the front," Minatsuki said with a smile on her face as she started stabbing the decapitated head, which she did until the head split open. Minatsuki knelt down and started chuckling as if she was listening to something the head told her.
"I know…I know it hurts, but you brought this all on yourself, Hana," Minatsuki muttered before she started stabbing the rest of the Hana doll. After she was done, Minatsuki turned to the camera and smiled as she waved to the camera with the pocket knife still in her hand.
"Bye, everyone! Bye Hana! I'll see you all at Trouble in Tokyo!" Minatsuki exclaimed in delight as the camera panned to the stage, where 'MANTRA' by Bring Me the Horizon played, causing the crowd to boo as Pete Corvus came out with Tsubaki and Katsuki Bakugo accompanying him. Corvus had a smirk on his face as he patted the Hardcore Championship on his shoulder, handed the title to Tsubaki, and made his way to the ring.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, representing the NWO and accompanied to the ring by the BTWF World Heavyweight Champion Katsuki Bakugo and Tsubaki, from Brooklyn New York, he is the BTWF Hardcore Champion, Pete Corvus!" Tony Chimel announced as Corvus sped walked to the ring, gave Tsubaki and Bakugo a fist bump, and rolled into the ring.
"Corvus, despite the animosity he has cultivated with both Izuku Midoriya and the Japanese wrestling audience, is looking mighty confident heading into this match," Striker noted as Corvus went into the corner, where he, Tsubaki, and Bakugo started discussing strategy before 'Mourning Palace' by Dimmu Borgir played, causing the crowd to cheer as the lights in the arena turned a dark purple.
"And here comes the #1 contender for the World Heavyweight Championship, looking to continue his win streak over members of the NWO!" Kotoko exclaimed as Zancrow came out of the back as black fire started shooting from the stage. The crowd cheered as Zancrow made his way to the ring, walking slowly to the ring, looking down at the floor.
"Last week, Zancrow was able to decimate Marco Diaz in the middle of the ring. Will the same fate befall the BTWF Hardcore Champion?" Bob asked as Zancrow made it to the ringside area. Bakugo held onto his World Heavyweight Championship as Zancrow took his hat off, looked up to glare at Bakugo, and throw the hat at him, causing the crowd to cheer as Zancrow walked up the steps and into the ring.
"If looks could kill, Bakugo would be 6 feet under right now. Zancrow is focused to win that BTWF World Heavyweight Championship," Striker explained as Zancrow raised his right arm up, and shot it down, causing the lights in the arena to come back on, and black fire to shoot out of the corner posts. Corvus jumped a little at the fire but looked ready for a fight, and when the referee checked if both men were ready, he rang the bell.
"And our main event is underway!" Kotoko exclaimed as Zancrow and Corvus went into the middle of the ring and locked up. The crowd cheered as Zancrow was able to push Corvus into the corner, but Corvus and Zancrow held onto each other before the referee stepped in and demanded a clean break. Corvus let go immediately, and Zancrow slowly backed away, glaring at Corvus.
"Corvus and Zancrow backing away from each other, and Zancrow once again staring a hole through Corvus," Bob explained before Corvus flipped off the crowd and kicked Zancrow in the balls right in front of the referee. The crowd booed as the referee told the timekeeper to ring the bell and Tony Chimel the match outcome as Corvus mounted a fallen Zancrow and started punching him in the side of the head.
*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner as a result of a disqualification, Zancrow!" Tony Chimel announced as Bakugo rolled into the ring and started stomping on Zancrow's sides as the referee tried to stop the two of them.
"Corvus just ended the match prematurely to launch a sneak attack on the #1 contender for Bakugo's World Heavyweight Championship!" Striker exclaimed as Corvus attempted to pick Zancrow up, but the crowd cheered as Zancrow started punching Corvus in the gut multiple times, sending him into the corner before hitting Bakugo with a couple of back elbows to the side of the face.
"And Zancrow is trying to fight back!" Kotoko exclaimed as Zancrow grabbed Bakugo by the throat. However, the crowd booed as Mercury Black came running to the ring, jumped onto the apron, and hit a Phenomenal Forearm to Zancrow's face, sending him back down to the mat. The crowd continued to boo as Marco Diaz, Kite, Duncan, and the BTWF International Champion Dipper Pines came running to the ring.
"And now the entire NWO is here to lay out the #1 contender!" Bob exclaimed as the NWO started stomping and punching onto Zancrow before Duncan, Marco, Bakugo, and Corvus held him down by his arms and legs. Mercury went up to the top rope and hit a Spiral Tap to Zancrow's chest before Kite went up to the top rope as well and hit a diving splash onto Zancrow's gut and chest.
"Multiple splashes from the NWO and—here comes Midoriya!" Striker exclaimed as the crowd exploded when Midoriya came out. He dragged Corvus out of the ring and started clubbing him with punches and elbows, causing the crowd to chant 'Fuck him Up!' while Duncan and Dipper tried to stop him. However, Midoriya turned towards them and punched Duncan and Dipper away from him.
"Midoriya helping Zancrow with the numbers game, but it may not be enough!" Bob exclaimed as when Midoriya turned around, Corvus hit him with a low blow, causing the crowd to boo as Corvus threw Midoriya into the steel steps and started stomping on his chest as Dipper and Duncan rolled out of the ring to join in on Midoriya's beatdown. In the ring, Bakugo, Marco, Mercury, and Kite grabbed Zancrow and threw him out of the ring.
"I think Bakugo may have some terrible intentions here towards Zancrow," Kotoko stated in fear as the crowd cheered once again as the BTWF Tag Team Champions Thompson and Robbie came down to the ring and started brawling with Duncan and Dipper, keeping them away from Midoriya and Corvus.
"The BTWF Tag Team Champions trying to help Zancrow and Midoriya! I don't think this is the best idea for them going into a tag team championship defense at Trouble in Tokyo!" Bob exclaimed as Dipper grabbed Robbie by the hair and slammed his head into the steel ring apron multiple times before grabbing his International Championship and bashing Thompson in the back of the head with it.
"And once again, the NWO puts a halt to any momentum that is put in front of them!" Striker exclaimed as Corvus rolled Midoriya into the ring, and much to the crowd's chagrin hit him with a Package Piledriver before rolling back out of the ring, where Bakugo, Marco, and Kite were continuing to stomp and punch on Zancrow. Bakugo then told Corvus to ready the announcers' table, and Corvus complied by clearing the announcers' table.
"The NWO looks to send Zancrow crashing through the announcers' table!" Kotoko exclaimed as she, Striker, and Bob moved out of the way. Duncan grabbed Thompson, hit him with a Superkick, and then threw him into the steel steps. Dipper hit a running knee to the side of Robbie's head as Bakugo, Corvus, Marco, Mercury, and Kite picked Zancrow up for a Quadruple Powerbomb, and much to the crowd's chagrin, powerbombed Zancrow through the announcer's table.
"And the #1 contender goes right through the announcers' table!" Striker exclaimed as Corvus rolled back into the ring, picked Midoriya back up, and hit him with another Package Piledriver, before asking for his Hardcore Championship. He, Dipper, and Bakugo posed in the middle of the ring, lifting their three championships over their head, as Marco, Mercury, Kite, and Duncan rolled back into the ring to celebrate with them.
"Could this be the scene at Trouble in Tokyo!? The NWO standing tall and holding all the gold!?" Striker asked as the camera faded to black after looking over the fallen bodies of Zancrow, Izuku Midoryia, Robbie, and Thompson before looking back at the celebrating NWO while the crowd was booing.
