BTWF Intensity (November Week 4)
The camera pans to the outside, where Sunny Bridges and Overhaul were talking with multiple security guards around the entrance of the arena.
"OK, now we have all you security around any and all entrances and pathways to the arena. After what happened yesterday with Bakugo and Gaara, we can't take any chances and have the Octane guys come to the arena," Sunny explained as Overhaul patted him on the shoulder. When Sunny turned around, he saw Katsuki Bakugo and BTWF International Champion Gaara looking at their General Managers with smirks on their faces.
"You two have a lot of balls coming up to us with smiles on your faces after the bullshit you pulled," Overhaul said, pushing his finger into Bakugo's chest.
"What? You wanted to get Team Intensity to get along, and what better way to get us on the same page than launching an all-out assault on those Octane extras?" Bakugo explained as Gaara patted Bakugo on the back, and put his thumb up. Overhaul rolled his eyes, and looked over at Sunny, asking him to help him out here.
"Well now thanks to the two of you, we have to put this entire arena on lockdown. Just…go to your locker rooms and get ready for whatever it is you're doing for tonight," Sunny said, sounding so tired and annoyed. Bakugo and Gaara looked at each other and started chuckling before Gaara patted his BTWF International Championship and looked over at the security guards.
"I don't even know why we have this place on lockdown. If any of those Octane losers want to come after us, I would whoop their asses easily," Gaara bragged as Bakugo laughed and patted him on the back in support as Overhaul and Sunny just shook their heads in annoyance and disappointment.
"Bragging Rights is just a day away, so please just try and be civilized so we can get through this episode of Intensity without any problems, OK?" Sunny asked both men. Bakugo and Gaara looked at each other and then nodded before walking off, with Bakugo giving the middle finger to the security guards as the camera panned to the commentary desk.
"Well as you can see here ladies and gentlemen, we are taking precautions to make sure that Octane doesn't do what…Bakugo and the team he's leading happens here on Intensity," Matt Striker explained as his broadcast colleagues, Kotoko Iwanaga and Bob Belcher nodded in response.
"And hopefully, these precautions work and don't ruin the great show we have planned here tonight. In our main event, we have 'The Queen of Song Style' Jiro Kyoka taking on the eccentric and enigmatic Minatsuki Tamaki," Kotoko explained as Austin Aries' 'Ambition and Vision' theme song played, causing the crowd to cheer as the lights went down.
"And speaking of big matches, we have the match that will determine the final team member of the Intensity Men's Bragging Rights match," Bob explained as Edward Elric outstretched his fists with his head down. When the lights came back on with light purple and red lights, Edward shot his head back up, causing the crowd to cheer louder as Edward looked at the crowd with a glare on his face.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, from Resembool Amestris, he is Edward Elric!" Tony Chimel announced as Elric continued to look at the crowd, who were cheering and chanting his name. Elric then walked up to the ringside area, and took his red jacket off, causing the crowd to cheer louder as he ran up the steel steps, and jumped into the ring.
"Edward Elric, since coming to the BTWF, has drawn the ire of Gaara, which he has reciprocated with multiple backstage attacks," Striker explained as Elric ran into the corner, and turned to face the stage while lifting both his fists up in the air as the crowd continued to cheer and chant his name. However, those fans started booing as 'MANTRA' by Bring Me the Horizon played as Dipper Pines came out of the back with a smirk on his face.
"And his opponent, from Gravity Falls Oregon, 'Badass' Dipper Pines!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued to boo while Dipper was pointing at the crowd, and yelling at them, calling them losers. Elric, in the ring, was stretching in the corner, waiting for Dipper to get in the ring, as Dipper had stopped and started arguing with one of the fans who was pushing the thumbs down right in front of his face.
"Dipper, after getting his sleep schedule back on track, looks ready to get some momentum back in his corner with a victory over Edward Elric," Kotoko explained as Dipper shook his head at the booing fan before he made his way to the ringside area. Dipper jumped up to the apron, took off his vest, and threw it down on the floor as he jumped over the top rope and started arguing with Edward Elric.
"And Dipper not looking to make friends with the newest acquisition to the BTWF roster, as they are fighting to be a part of the Intensity Men's Bragging Rights team," Bob explained as the referee made sure both men were separated before telling the timekeeper to ring the bell. When he did, Elric and Dipper locked up in the middle of the ring, and Elric immediately pushed Dipper into the corner and started hitting him with multiple punches to the gut. The referee pulled Elric away when Elric didn't look like he was going to stop, but when Elric got out of the referee's grasp, he immediately went to punching the side of Dipper's face.
"Elric is known for his violent temper, and he's showing that in the ring with his multiple punches to the body and face of Dipper," Striker narrated as Dipper kicked Elric's knee, causing the crowd to boo before he kicked the side of Elric's leg a couple of times. Dipper then got out of the corner and started punching Elric in the side of the head, but Elric was able to push Dipper off of him. When Dipper rebounded off of the rope and attempted to hit a clothesline, Elric kicked away Dipper's arm, and hit him with a Back Elbow to the side of the head, causing the crowd to cheer.
"Elric taking Dipper down with a back elbow to the side of the head, and Dipper is now trying to escape the ring," Kotoko explained as Elric noticed Dipper, and grabbed him by the hair. The crowd continued to cheer as Elric hit multiple chops to the chest before throwing him back into the ring. Dipper tried to beg Elric off, but he started kicking Dipper in the head and chest before he ran the ropes and hit Dipper with a Jumping Senton to the chest before going for a pin, hooking both of Dipper's legs.
Ref: 1…
"I think Dipper is just realizing that Elric isn't here to play around, and is here to send a message to the BTWF International Champion Gaara," Bob explained as Elric pulled Dipper back up by the hair, and started hitting him with multiple back elbows to the side of the head. The crowd continued to cheer as Elric Irish whipped Dipper into the ropes and hit Dipper with a Hip Toss that sent Dipper's back into Elric's knee. Elric then grabbed Dipper by the hair again and threw him out of the ring and onto the floor.
"Elric now sending Dipper out of the ring, intent on inflicting more punishment onto the self-proclaimed 'Badass' of the BTWF!" Striker exclaimed as Dipper staggered back to his feet, and Elric responded with a boot to the gut and multiple European Uppercuts to the chin before knocking him down with a dropkick. Elric then grabbed Dipper by the ears and attempted to pick him up, but Dipper poked him in the eye, causing the crowd to boo as Dipper attempted to climb back into the ring.
"Dipper trying to escape the onslaught of Edward Elric, but Elric's right back on his trail!" Kotoko exclaimed as Elric grabbed Dipper's right foot, and tried to pull him back to the outside. However, Dipper started kicking Elric in the side of the face and pushed him away before looking back at Elric's staggering form, before hitting Elric with an Arabian Moonsault. The crowd booed as Dipper staggered into the fan barricade. Dipper then started stomping on a downed Elric's chest as the referee started counting both men out.
Ref: 1…2…3
"Dipper, after that beautiful Moonsault, finally able to get some momentum against Edward Elric!" Bob exclaimed as Dipper grabbed Elric by the top of his pants, and then threw him into the steel steps. The crowd continued to boo as Dipper started stomping on Elric's chest while his back was pushing into the side of the steel steps. Dipper then started choking Elric with his boot, and then backed away before hitting Elric with a running boot to Elric's face, sending the back of his head crashing into the side of the steel steps while the referee was continuing to count both men out.
Ref: …4…5…6
Dipper grabbed Elric by the back of his pants and threw him back into the ring. The crowd continued to boo as Dipper got onto the apron, and hit a Springboard Senton into Elric's chest. Dipper started yelling at the crowd again before picking Elric up and hitting him with multiple punches to the face. Elric started staggering into the corner, and Dipper responded by hitting multiple Shoulder Thrusts into the chest of Elric before running the ropes and hitting a Handspring Back Elbow.
"Dipper with a Handspring Back Elbow! And now whether it's a tribute to the Great Muta or to Stacy Keibler is up to the viewers at home," Striker joked as the crowd continued to boo as Dipper dropped Elric down to the mat with a Snapmare Driver before going for the pinfall, hooking both of Elric's legs back.
Ref: 1…2
"A two-count there by the former International Champion, so Elric still has a chance to be a part of the Intensity Men's Bragging Rights match," Bob explained as Dipper put Elric up on his knees, and started hitting him with multiple knife-edge chops to the chest before he ran the ropes and hit him with a Running Dropkick to the face. Dipper then dragged Elric further away from the corner, and hit him with multiple elbow drops to the chest before stopping, pointing at the booing fans, and hitting Elric with a Jumping Elbow Drop to the chest. Elric attempted to get back on his feet, but Dipper kicked Elric in the chest and started hitting him with multiple elbow strikes to the top of the head.
"Dipper showcasing some aggression of his own, as he's hitting multiple elbows to the face of Edward Elric," Kotoko explained as Dipper picked Elric up from behind, and hit him with a back suplex. The crowd continued to boo as Dipper quickly went to the second rope, and hit Elric in the side of the head with a Diving Fist Drop before going for another pinfall.
Ref: 1…2.
"Dipper with a hard fist drop for a close two count. You have to wonder what it's going to take for Dipper to take Elric out," Striker explained as Dipper quickly grabbed Elric, and hit him with a Snap DDT before going back up to the corner. The crowd continued to boo as Dipper climbed up to the top rope, and balanced himself on the top turnbuckle before attempting to hit a Diving Elbow Drop onto Elric's chest. However, Elric put his knees up, sending Dipper's right arm crashing into his knees.
"Oh! Dipper's arm crashed right into the knees of Elric!" Kotoko exclaimed as Elric attempted to get back up, and hit him with the Revolution Knee (Ripcord Knee Strike). However, Dipper was able to dodge the knee and hit a Jumping Enziguri to the side of Elric's head. The crowd booed as Dipper slapped the arm that crashed into Elric's knees, and then picked him up, attempting to hit him with a Running Dipper Driver (Running Death Valley Driver). However, the crowd cheered as Elric was able to slip out of Dipper's grasp and push him into the turnbuckles, sending Dipper crashing into the top turnbuckle head first.
"Oh! And Elric sending Dipper crashing into the turnbuckles, escaping the Running Dipper Driver!" Bob exclaimed as Elric started stomping in rhythm to the crowd clapping for his encouragement. When Dipper got back to his feet with a hand on his head, Elric ran at Dipper and hit him with multiple clotheslines, a Reverse Atomic Drop, a Twisting Back Elbow to the side of the head, and then ran the ropes and knocked Dipper down with a Spinning Heel Kick. The crowd cheered louder as Elric then ran the ropes before hitting Dipper with a Jumping Knee Drop to the top of the head before going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Elric with a two count after a vicious knee drop to the side of the head, but it doesn't look like Elric is done yet!" Kotoko exclaimed as Elric grabbed Dipper by the hair, and hit him with multiple open-palm strikes to the face before putting him in a Fireman's Carry Position. The crowd continued to cheer as Elric hit a Rolling Fireman's Carry onto Dipper, but rather than go for a pin, he didn't let go and picked Dipper back up in the Fireman's Carry, causing the crowd to cheer.
"Elric still has Dipper in the Fireman's Carry! What does he have planned here!?" Striker asked as Elric hit Dipper with a Go to Sleep before knocking him down with a Spin Kick to the back of the head. The crowd continued to cheer as Elric ran the ropes and springboarded off of the 2nd rope with a Twisting Senton across Dipper's chest. Elric then kipped back to his feet, causing the crowd to cheer louder as Elric grabbed Dipper in a Front Facelock, and deadlifted him up for a suplex, but the crowd started booing as Dipper kneed Elric in the top of the head a couple of times.
"Dipper not letting Elric get the win that easily, as he's kneeing Elric in the top of the head!" Bob exclaimed as Dipper hit a jumping knee to the top of Elric's head, and then picked him up, sending him down with a Snap Vertical Suplex. The crowd booed as Dipper picked Elric back up, and hit him with a couple of knees to the gut before running the ropes, attempting to hit him with the Basement Side Dropkick, but Elric was able to counter by hitting Dipper with a Deep Six Slam before going for a pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Dipper barely kicking out of that Deep Six slam that nearly sent him through the ring!" Kotoko exclaimed as Elric went up to his feet, and picked Dipper up, grabbing his arm for the Revolution Knee (Ripcord Knee), but Dipper was once again able to counter. Dipper jumped behind Elric, and hit him with a Backstabber, causing the crowd to go back to booing before he rolled Elric up for a pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Dipper was so close to the win after that Backstabber/Roll Up combination, but Elric showing off his resilience by kicking out there!"

"Dipper once again has Elric in position for the Running Death Valley Driver!" Bob exclaimed as Elric started elbowing Dipper right in the side of the head. The crowd continued to cheer as Elric was able to grab Dipper's arm and finally hit Dipper with the Revolution Knee (Ripcord Knee Strike).

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Edward Elric!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued to cheer as Elric got back to his feet with his arm over his ribs and chest. Elric then raised his fist up as the referee grabbed his wrist, keeping his fist in the air while Dipper rolled out of the ring with a hand over his nose. However, as Elric started to climb up to the top rope, and continue celebrating, Damian Priest's theme song started playing, causing the crowd to boo.
"Elric was able to win his BTWF debut, but the International Champion is here to rain on his parade," Striker explained as Gaara walked over to the tech area, and grabbed a microphone from one of the sound producers. Elric yelled at Gaara to come into the ring, but Gaara just laughed at him and took off his sunglasses.
"Eddy, I have to say, that was a fantastic victory. I mean, I beat Dipper faster and looked stronger doing it, but…I guess I'll grade it on a bell curve. Now, I've been hearing that you've been wanting an opportunity at the BTWF International Championship," Gaara said as Elric nodded at him, and told him to come into the ring so they can fight.
"I don't want to fight you right now Shorty. Not because I'm scared of you, but because I want you to be in good enough form to help the Intensity Men's Bragging Rights team tomorrow. And trust me, if I got into the ring, I'd beat you until you had to be carried out on a stretcher, and driven to the hospital," Gaara explained as he looked down at his BTWF International Championship, as Elric got even more pissed off because of the 'Shorty' nickname.
"But you know, since you keep attacking me from behind like a little coward, I've gotten out International Championship confirmed for two weeks after the Bragging Rights PPV. So now that I got that out of the way, enjoy your little celebration Shorty because you won't be celebrating when we get in the ring together," Gaara finished as he dropped the microphone, and turned around to leave the stage. Elric was seething from all the short jokes that Gaara and had to be restrained by the referee and a couple of security guards standing by the fan barricades.
"Well, Edward Elric is going to get his shot at the BTWF International Championship in a couple of weeks, but he has to focus on Bragging Rights for tomorrow," Kotoko explained as the camera panned to the backstage area, as Elric finally broke out of the grasp of the security guards. In the backstage area, Rally Vincent, Blake Belladonna, and Weiss Schnee were talking with each other, with Rally and Blake looking at Weiss with raised eyebrows.
"Weiss, can you explain why we helped Lucy last night? I know we're going up against them at Bragging, but why did we have to help Lucy?" Blake asked as Rally was also looking at Weiss, expecting some kind of answer.
"Look, I didn't want to work with Lucy either. But, we have to get some kind of edge in the 7 on 7 match at the show, and getting the jump on them with an attack was the best way to do so," Weiss explained as Rally and Blake looked at each other before nodding and sighing.
"That makes sense, but I just hope that Lucy doesn't get a big…well bigger head over this," Blake responded as she noticed Rally looking around the room as if she was expecting someone. "Rally, you good? What're you looking for?"
"Oh! Sorry, Blake, I was just looking to see what that Chris Panzer guy is going to do. I still remember that weird video message he sent to me, and I was wondering what he had planned next," Rally explained as Blake and Weiss raised an eyebrow and nodded before looking back at the two with a serious look on her face.
"OK, now back to business. We're going out there to help Minatsuki so that Lucy doesn't have too much power going into our 7 on 7 tag match tomorrow," Weiss explained as Blake and Rally nodded, before giving Weiss each separate fist bumps as the camera panned to the stage, where Mike Bennett's IMPACT theme song played, causing the crowd ton boo as TJ came out with his arms outstretched while wearing a white robe.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, from the Palace of Wisdom, he is 'The Guru' TJ Detweiler!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued to boo while TJ, for some reason thinking that the crowd was cheering, waved at the crowd, and bowed to them as he continued his way to the ring, telling the crowd how he was going to give then the inspiration they need.
"TJ, tonight, is going up against a former Cruiserweight Champion in Yuma," Striker explained as TJ looked once more at the booing crowd, before taking his white robe off and putting it on the steel steps. TJ then walked up to the apron, and jumped into the ring over the top rope, and started spinning around with his arms still outstretched, seemingly basking in the crowd's negative reaction to him.
"The bad blood from this match comes from when the two of them were…well, for a lack of a better word, destroyed by the RCCW Hardcore Champion Dennis during the BTWF vs. LWF: Reborn SuperShow," Kotoko explained as TJ went into the corner with a smile on his face, as 'Face to the Floor' by Chevelle played, causing the crowd to cheer as Yuma ran out of the back and stopped at the center of the stage.
"And his opponent, from Tokyo Japan, Yuma!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued to cheer as Yuma ran down the entranceway, giving all the fans he could hi-fives, as TJ started ranting that he could help Yuma and the fans. Yuma responded by blowing him off, and jumping to the top of the steel steps, and encouraged the crowd to cheer louder before jumping up to the top turnbuckle.
"Yuma, showing off his athleticism with this entrance, has been asking for this match ever since the BTWF and LWF: Reborn SuperShow," Bob explained as Yuma flipped off of the top rope and into the ring. The crowd continued to cheer as TJ went to the center of the ring, and extended a hand to Yuma with his other arm behind him. Yuma looked at TJ's outstretched hand, and kicked it away, much to the crowd's delight as the referee pushed Yuma away.
"Yuma, not falling for TJ's mind games, showing that he's prepared for a fight here tonight," Striker explained as the referee made sure both Yuma and TJ were ready, and when he got the confirmation, the referee told the timekeeper to ring the bell. When the timekeeper rang the bell, Yuma grabbed TJ by the hair and started hitting him with multiple forearms to the side of the head before sending him crashing to the mat face-first with a Drop Toe Hold. The crowd continued to cheer as Yuma jumped up and hit TJ with a Jumping Leg Drop across the back of TJ's neck.
"Yuma starting this match off hot, with a leg drop across the back of TJ's neck!" Kotoko exclaimed as Yuma grabbed TJ by his hair, and propped him back to his feet, and then hit him with multiple knife-edge chops to the chest. Yuma then hit TJ with a spin kick to the gut that sent him staggering into the corner before running the ropes, jumping on the middle rope, and hitting a Jumping Spin Kick to the side of TJ's face. The crowd continued to cheer as Yuma hit TJ with a Snap Vertical Suplex before floating over for the pin.
Ref: 1…
"TJ hasn't been able to get a shot in so far in this match, as Yuma has done a good job of dictating the pace," Striker explained as Yuma started stomping on TJ's chest, but TJ was able to grab Yuma's foot, and pushed him away. TJ got back to his feet and attempted to hit him with a Big Boot, but Yuma was able to duck out of the way and attempted to hit him with a German Suplex. However, TJ hit Yuma with several back elbows to the side of the head before turning around and attempting to hit Yuma with a Vertical Suplex of his own.
"Well you may have spoken too soon Matt, as TJ is trying to fight off more attacks by Yuma," Bob responded as Yuma was able to keep his feet on the ground and punch TJ in the side of the head. Yuma then pushed TJ away and hit him with a Spinning Heel Kick to the face with enough force that TJ fell out of the ring. Yuma didn't give TJ any breathing room, as while TJ was laying down, Yuma ran the ropes, and slid underneath the bottom rope, and hit a dive onto TJ's chest.
"What a sliding dive by Yuma! That could've crushed a few ribs there!" Kotoko exclaimed as Yuma grabbed TJ by the hair, and threw him back into the ring. The crowd continued to cheer as Yuma jumped onto the apron, and waited for TJ to get back to his feet. When he did, Yuma springboarded back into the ring with an attempt at a Springboard Dropkick, but TJ was able to roll out of the way. Yuma did land on his feet, but TJ was able to hit Yuma in the side of the head with a Superkick.
"OH! TJ hitting Yuma in the side of the head with a Superkick!" Bob exclaimed as TJ put Yuma in a Cravate, and started clubbing him in the side of the head. The crowd continued to boo as TJ hit Yuma with a Cravate Neckbreaker before going for a pin, hooking both of his legs back.
Ref: 1…2
"TJ targeting the neck of Yuma by continually keeping him in the Cravate hold," Striker explained as the crowd continued to boo while TJ continued to crank TJ with the Cravate, and started hitting him multiple knees to the nose. The crowd continued to boo as TJ kicked Yuma in the chest, ran the ropes, and then kicked Yuma in the side of the head, sending him staggering into the ropes. TJ then ran the ropes and hit Yuma with a clothesline that sent Yuma feet first on the apron.
"Yuma is out on the apron, so what does TJ have planned here!?" Bob asked as TJ grabbed Yuma by the hair, but the crowd cheered as Yuma hit multiple Shoulder Thrusts to the chest before pushing him away. The crowd cheered as Yuma attempted to Springboard back into the ring with a Diving Crossbody, but the crowd booed as TJ was able to grab Yuma in the Fireman's Carry position. The crowd continued to boo as TJ hit Yuma with a Gutbuster, sending Yuma's chest crashing into her knee.
"And a gutbuster by TJ makes sure that he maintains control in this contest!" Kotoko exclaimed as TJ ran the ropes and hit a Jumping Flipping Senton to Yuma's chest before going for another pinfall.
Ref: 1…2.
"Yuma is able to kick out again, but you can see that these recent attacks to the gut are making it more difficult for him to breathe," Striker pointed out as TJ grabbed Yuma, put him in a seated position, and once again put him in a Cravate before kneeing Yuma in the back multiple times. The crowd continued to boo as TJ bent over and yelled at Yuma that he could've helped him before hitting a Jumping Double Stop to Yuma's chest before he ran the ropes and kicked him in the face with a Soccerball Kick.
"Another strong kick to the face of Yuma by the Guru, as he tries to show the fans that Yuma is the weaker one of the two," Kotoko explained as TJ picked Yuma up, and hit him with an Alley Oop Facebuster before getting back up, and stomping Yuma's back. The crowd continued to boo as TJ stepped on Yuma's back while basking in the crowd's negative reaction to him before getting off of him, and giving the small of his back one big stomp before backing away. Yuma crawled away to the ropes, and TJ responded by running the ropes and hitting Yuma with a Running Hip Attack on the ropes.
"TJ continuing to dominate Yuma, as the crowd tries to get Yuma back into this match," Bob explained as TJ grabbed Yuma, and punched him a couple of times in the side of the head. The crowd continued to boo as TJ put Yuma back in the Cravate hold that he had been using throughout the match. Yuma immediately tried to get back to his feet to relieve himself of some of the pressure the Cravate was giving him, but TJ was able to kick Yuma in the back of the leg a couple of times, sending him sitting back down.
"TJ has been using the Cravate quite a few times in this match, but this time, maybe Yuma's neck could give out here," Striker explained as Yuma tried to drag himself to the ropes, causing the crowd to start cheering as TJ tried to pull him away from the ropes. However, much to the crowd's delight, Yuma was finally able to make it to the ropes, grabbing the bottom rope with both of his feet. TJ responded by letting go of the Cravate, kicking Yuma in the back, and pulling him back up.
"TJ was smartly able to keep Yuma from getting any momentum in this match after the ropebreak," Bob explained as the crowd continued to boo. TJ pushed Yuma into the corner and started kicking Yuma in the gut before putting him on the top turnbuckle. The crowd continued to boo as TJ hit Yuma in the side of the head with multiple punches to the side of the head before climbing up to the middle turnbuckle. However, when TJ attempted to put Yuma in position for a Superplex, Yuma started punching TJ in the gut.
"Yuma is still fighting back, as TJ is getting hit with multiple punches to the gut and chest!" Striker exclaimed as Yuma hit TJ with multiple headbutts to the side of the head before pushing him off of the middle turnbuckle. TJ landed on his feet, but was dizzy from the headbutts, as Yuma balanced himself on the top rope, and hit a Diving Spinning Heel Kick to the top of TJ's head, sending him falling down before rolling TJ up for a pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Yuma finally getting a huge hit on TJ, with a beautiful kick from the top rope!" Kotoko exclaimed as Yuma got back to his feet. The crowd continued to cheer as Yuma, while TJ was trying to lift himself back up, started kicking TJ in the back multiple times before grabbing both of his arms. The crowd continued to cheer as Yuma hit TJ with a Tiger Suplex, but rather than bridge for a pin, Yuma deadlifted TJ back up, and hit him with another Tiger Suplex before rolling him away from the ropes, and finally bridging into a pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Another close two count there, and Yuma looks like he's already picking TJ back up!" Bob exclaimed as Yuma jumped up, causing the crowd to cheer as TJ started staggering back to his feet. The crowd continued to cheer as Yuma ran at TJ, hit him with two Running Double Ax Handles, a Running Enziguri, a Spinning Neckbreaker, and then picked TJ up to hit him with a Falcon Arrow. Yuma then ran the ropes again and hit multiple Running Leg Drops across TJ's throat.
"Yuma with the series of leg drops, but you can tell by the way he's cranking his neck that TJ's attacks on the neck are affecting him," Striker explained as Yuma, while trying to crank his neck, pushed TJ up. The crowd continued to cheer as Yuma hit several European Uppercuts underneath the chin before sending him into the corner. Yuma then attempted to run into the corner with a Running Jumping Forearm, but TJ was able to dodge the move, causing Yuma to crash his arm into the turnbuckle. TJ then attempted to lock Yuma in the Divine Intervention (Captain's Hook).
"Well, that's why he had targeted Yuma's neck! He was preparing for the Divine Intervention!" Striker exclaimed as TJ tried to take Yuma down to the ground, but Yuma was able to roll onto his back and roll TJ up, causing the crowd to cheer.
Ref: 1…2..
"Well that may be true, but Yuma was able to escape the move, and almost got the pin on TJ!" Kotoko exclaimed as TJ got up, and attempted another Superkick onto Yuma, but Yuma was able to grab his leg, push him to the ground, grab his other leg, and attempted to lock him in the Sharpshooter. However, the crowd booed as TJ was able to reach the ropes, forcing the referee to pull Yuma away, and TJ used this opportunity to use the ropes to pick himself back up. Yuma attempted to kick TJ, but TJ was able to grab his leg, sweep his other leg down, and then hit Yuma with a moonsault.
"TJ with a beautiful standing moonsault onto the chest of Yuma, but wait-!" Bob exclaimed as Yuma started kicking the back of TJ's legs while TJ was celebrating, and attempted to roll him up with s School Boy, but TJ grabbed Yuma's arm and attempted to hit him in an Armbar. However, Yuma was able to push TJ off of him, and when TJ bounced off of the ropes, Yuma kipped up and hit TJ with a Jumping Reverse STO.
"What a move by Yuma, taking TJ down with a Jumping Reverse STO!" Kotoko exclaimed as Yuma went into the corner, and started climbing up to the top rope, causing the crowd to cheer as Yuma steadied himself on the top turnbuckle. When Yuma was fully balanced on the top rope, Yuma dived off of the top rope and hit a Utopian Elbow Drop (Randy Savage Style Diving Elbow Drop) onto TJ's chest before going for the pin.

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Yuma!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued to cheer as Yuma picked himself up while holding the back of his neck in pain. The referee grabbed Yuma's free wrist and raised it in victory, causing the crowd to cheer louder as TJ rolled out of the ring, and started coughing outside of the ring.
"Yuma, thanks to that beautiful Diving Elbow Drop from the top rope, has secured the victory here tonight!" Striker exclaimed as Yuma got out of the referee's grasp, and walked over to the corner, and jumped up to the top turnbuckle. The crowd cheered louder as Yuma raised his right fist, as TJ got back to his feet, continuing to cough and groan in pain on the outside while Yuma continued to celebrate in the ring.
"This win could be what Yuma needs to help him get back on track for a future BTWF Cruiserweight Championship match," Kotoko explained as Yuma jumped down onto the canvas, and after giving the cheering fans one last wave, Yuma rolled out of the ring through the bottom rope. Yuma started hi-fiving fans as he started walking up the entrance ramp, with TJ still trying to catch his breath at the ringside area.
"We'll see what the future holds for Yuma, as he seems to be on Cloud 9 after getting this win," Bob explained as the camera panned to the backstage area, where Crona was looking at the TV, where Yuma was still walking to the back. Just as Crona was about to turn around, Levy McGarden came walking up to him with a microphone in her hand.
"Hello Crona, sorry to run into you like this, but I just wanted to ask you about your thoughts going into your match with the Hollywood Hooligan tomorrow at Bragging Rights?" Levy asked as Crona patted the BTWF Cruiserweight Championship that was hanging off of his shoulder, and smiled at her.
"Well after the beatdown I gave him on Octane yesterday, I'm feeling pretty good about it. I mean, I do feel a little bad that a couple of C-Triggers to the face might hinder his already floundering movie career, but I'll feel even better when I retain my Cruiserweight Championship and stand over Hooligan with the title held high," Crona explained as Levy nodded and brought the microphone closer to her mouth.
"Well I wish you the best of luck in your Cruiserweight title match tomorrow, but I also have to ask you about who you believe is going to be a possible contender for your title at Christmas Chaos," Levy explained as Crona raised an eyebrow in shock. However, before he could answer the question, Crona was interrupted by Kazuma Sato, who of course was accompanied by Megumin, Darkness, and Aqua.
"Why do you have to ask a stupid question like that? And they call you a bookworm? Anyway, Crona, the answer for your challenge is right here, and his name is Kazuma Sato, the only 15/10 in the BTWF," Kazuma explained as the three girls nodded in response as Crona looked at Kazuma and laughed at him.
"Really? Well I admire your ambition, but if memory serves, you lost the X-Scape match at Trouble in Tokyo, so I was thinking of giving someone else a chance," Crona explained as Kazuma glared at him, and pointed at Aqua.
"That was Aqua's fault! If you didn't get those scissors from her, I would've become the new BTWF Cruiserweight Champion! But don't worry, she won't be messing up anymore, and after I demolish Rolf after the commercial break, you're gonna have no choice but to make me the #1 contender!" Kazuma exclaimed, taking little notice of Aqua putting her head down in shame from what Kazuma said before all four of them left the interview area.
"Anyway Levy, there are several people I would love to give a match for the Cruiserweight Championship; both Tanjiro and Ganta of the Japanese Destroyers, Kuro Sakuragawa, Yuma who just won his match, and probably others I can't think of now. The BTWF has plenty of options for me, but we'll see what the future holds," Crona explained before he walked away as the camera panned to a commercial break.
*Commercial Break*
*Commercial Over*
The camera panned back to the backstage interview area, where Victor Calavera was standing next to BTWF Women's Champion 'Amazing' Luna Collins, who was looking at the camera with a determined look on her face while wearing the BTWF Championship around her waist.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the BTWF Women's Champion, who was scheduled to have a face to face with Rei Ayanami tonight, but this has been cancelled due to Intensity being on lockdown," Victor explained before Luna grabbed the microphone, and put it underneath her mouth.
"That's right. I wanted Rei to come to Intensity so that we can give the fans our history, and our plans for the match. But because of this lockdown, I had to go to Sunny and Overhaul and ask them to allow Rei in," Luna explained as Victor looked surprised and frightened before taking the microphone back.
"Are you sure this is a good idea, Luna!? I mean…we don't know if the Octane Superstars are going to use this opportunity to sneak into the building and cause chaos!" Victor exclaimed in fear as Luna patted him on the back to try and calm him down.
"Sunny and Overhaul have taken all the precautions in the world to make sure that won't happen, so I have no worries about inviting Rei to the show, and neither should you," Luna explained as she walked off before Victor could respond. The camera then panned to the stage, where 'Fresh' by Artist vs. Poet played, causing the crowd to boo as Kazuma came out with Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness accompanying him to the ring.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, accompanied to the ring by Darkness, Megumin, and Aqua, from Tokyo Japan, he is Kazuma Sato!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued to boo as Kazuma turned around, and started talking to Aqua, telling her not to get too involved in the match. Aqua, looking a bit insulted, nodded her head, as Kazuma and the other girls continued to make their way to the ring.
"Kazuma is trying to get another opportunity at the Cruiserweight Championship, but some miscommunications between him and Aqua have cost him a few matches," Striker explained as Kazuma ran up the steel steps, and as the women applauded him on the outside, Kazuma jumped up to the top turnbuckle, and flashed his abs for the fans to see. The fans were not impressed, as they booed him, causing Kazuma to roll his eyes, and climb down to the canvas.
"The frustrations of those miscommunications are starting to take their toll on him and Aqua's relationship, judging by what we saw before the commercial break," Kotoko responded as Kazuma slid onto his knees, and gave the booing fans a gun show. However, the crowd started cheering as Otis' 'Blue Collar Solid' theme song played throughout the arena, as Rolf came out of the back.
"And his opponent, from the Old Country, Rolf!" Tony Chimel announced as Rolf, once he got to the center of the stage, ripped off of his shirt ala Hulk Hogan. The crowd cheered louder as Rolf cupped his right ear, as he walked down the entranceway. Kazuma glared at Rolf, as he started hi-fiving fans who had their hands outstretched over the fan barricade. Rolf then looked over at the girls, and threw his torn shirt at the girls before running to the ring, and sliding underneath the bottom rope.
"That was a little disrespectful by Rolf there, but with what's been going on with Stan lately, I can imagine Rolf not being in the best frame of mind," Striker explained as Rolf attempted to get into Kazuma's face, but the referee made sure that both men were kept apart before making sure that both athletes were ready. When Kazuma and Rolf confirmed that they were ready, the referee told the timekeeper to ring the bell, causing the match to start, and Rolf and Kazuma to lock up in the middle of the ring. Kazuma attempted to push Rolf into the corner, but Rolf was able to push Kazuma halfway across the ring.
"Wow! Look at the strength of Rolf, nearly sending Kazuma all the way across the ring!" Bob exclaimed as Kazuma punched the mat in frustration before getting up, and attempted to go into another lock up. However, the crowd continued to cheer as Rolf was able to push Kazuma into the corner. Rolf attempted to punch Kazuma, but Kazuma was able to duck out of the way and attempted to put Rolf in a headlock. However, Rolf was able to pick Kazuma up and send him into another corner, sending his face bouncing off of the top turnbuckle.
"And Rolf dominating Kazuma with his freakish strength, much to the frustration of Kazuma!" Kotoko exclaimed as Rolf turned Kazuma around, and started punching him in the face multiple times before throwing him out of the corner and halfway across the ring. The crowd cheered as Rolf stomped in the corner, and when Kazuma got back to his feet, Rolf ran at him and sent him spinning in the air with a clothesline. The crowd continued to cheer as Rolf mounted Kazuma, and started punching him in the head.
"Rolf, who has been confirmed to be facing Stan Smith at Bragging Rights, is showing Stan what he's in for with these hard right hands to the head," Striker explained as Kazuma hits Rolf in the nose with a headbutt, before rolling away from Rolf. However, Rolf grabs Kazuma, deadlifts him up, causing the crowd to cheer louder, as Rolf throws him to another side of the ring with a Fallaway Slam. Kazuma has tried to get back to his feet, using the corner turnbuckles to pull himself back to his feet, and Rolf responds with a Running Clothesline into the corner, and then sent Kazuma crashing down to the ground with a Uranage before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2
"A two-count there, and Kazuma better try and get some offense in this match if he wants to win," Bob explained as Kazuma once again ran to the apron, and when Rolf attempted to run at him, Kazuma got a back elbow up, hitting Rolf in the side of the face, before Kazuma got onto the apron. Rolf attempted another hit, but Kazuma was able to grab his head and started punching him in the head, but Rolf was able to push Kazuma off, sending him falling to the outside in front of the commentary table.
"And Kazuma falls right in front of us, but he landed on his feet like a cat!" Kotoko exclaimed as Rolf got out of the ring, and started chasing Kazuma around the ring. However, Kazuma grabbed Aqua, and put her in front of him, causing the crowd to boo as Rolf told Kazuma to move Aqua out of the way. After a moment, Kazuma pushed Aqua away, and kicked Rolf in the knee cap, causing the crowd to boo louder as Kazuma then threw Rolf side first into the fan barricade. The crowd started booing more as Kazuma started stomping and kicking Rolf in the sides and chest as the referee started counting both men out.
Ref: 1…2…3
"Kazuma, finally getting an advantage in this match, but I don't like how he used Aqua to do it," Kotoko complained as Kazuma started kneeing Rolf in the side of the chest and stomach while Rolf was still on all fours. The crowd continued to boo as Kazuma grabbed Rolf by the hair, and started punching him in the side of the face before clubbing him in the back. Megumin then got onto the apron and started distracting the referee, allowing Darkness and Aqua to join in on Kazuma in stomping on Rolf's back and the back of his head.
"And now, thanks to Megumin, the rest of Kazuma's female entourage are getting involved!" Bob exclaimed as Kazuma pulled Rolf up by his hair, and threw him back into the ring. The crowd continued to boo as Kazuma kissed Megumin on the cheek as she got back down to the floor, and Kazuma springboarded into the ring with a Springboard Elbow Drop to Rolf's chest. Kazuma, rather than going for the pin, Kazuma started hitting repeated Elbow Drops across Rolf's chest.
"And now Kazuma targeting the chest of Rolf, which could affect his breathing, and can hinder the power game that he has been using to dominate the beginning of this match," Striker explained as Kazuma grabbed Rolf by the ears, and picked him up before throwing him into the corner. The crowd continued to boo as Kazuma started stomping on Rolf's chest before running the ropes and hitting a Running Knee to Rolf's chest. Kazuma then ran the ropes again and hit a Jumping Forearm to the side of Rolf's head before sending him down with a Snapmare.
"You can see Rolf's breathing starting to become labored so early into this match, and this is thanks to Kazuma's attacks to the chest," Kotoko explained as Kazuma ran the ropes once again to hit a Jumping Double Stomp to Rolf's chest before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2
"Another shot to the chest by Kazuma, but Rolf was able to roll his shoulders off of the mat," Bob narrated as Kazuma stomped on Rolf's chest before placing a foot on his chest, and posing with multiple flexes before jumping up and hitting another Jumping Double Stomp onto Rolf's chest. Kazuma then grabbed Rolf by the hair and picked him up before hitting him with multiple knife-edge chops to the chest before pushing him into the corner. Kazuma then ran into the corner, and hit Rolf in the chest with a Running Shoulder Thrust, and then started stomping on Rolf's chest to the point where he fell in front of the bottom turnbuckles.
"Kazuma keeping his attack on the chest, and now he has Rolf down on the bottom turnbuckle," Kotoko explained as Kazuma ran the ropes and hit a Running Corner Knee to the side of Rolf's face. Kazuma then started stomping on Rolf's chest before he started choking Rolf by pressing his right foot on his throat until the referee pulled Kazuma off of him. While the referee was distracted with Kazuma, Megumin grabbed one of the strings on the bottom turnbuckle and used it to choke Rolf even more.
"And once again, Kazuma's entourage is getting themselves involved, choking Rolf with the rope of the turnbuckle pad!" Striker exclaimed as Kazuma, after Megumin was done with Rolf, grabbed Rolf's leg, and pulled him to the center of the ring before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
Kazuma grabbed both of Rolf's arms, and put him in a Seated Abdominal Stretch, causing the crowd to boo as Rolf immediately tried to roll to the ropes. However, Kazuma headbutted Rolf in the side of the head a couple of times before rolling him further away from the ropes and to the center of the ring while continuing to stretch him with the Seated Abdominal Stretch. After a minute, Rolf started getting back to his feet, but the crowd booed louder as Kazuma started kneeing Rolf in the head before putting him back in the Abdominal Stretch.
"Kazuma keeping Rolf as far away from the ropes as possible, so that he can get the submission with this tight Seated Abdominal Stretch!" Kotoko exclaimed as Rolf looked as though he was losing consciousness, Rolf started getting back to his feet again, causing the crowd to start cheering again. Kazuma attempted to kick Rolf in the gut to take him down, but Rolf responded by hitting Kazuma in the side of the head with headbutts, causing Kazuma's grip on Rolf to loosen. Rolf then kept hold of Kazuma and hit him with a Seven Star Lariat, once again twisting Kazuma inside out, causing the crowd to cheer louder as Rolf staggered to the corner.
"Rolf took Kazuma down with that vicious Lariat! This may be the opportunity that Rolf needs to get back into this match!" Striker exclaimed as Kazuma staggered back to his feet, but when Kazuma attempted to run into the corner, Rolf countered by hitting a Jumping Crossbody onto Kazuma, and rolled him up into a pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Rolf with that crossbody out of nowhere! Only getting the two count though," Bob exclaimed as Rolf grabbed Kazuma by the hair, and started slapping him multiple times in the face before pushing him into the ropes. When Kazuma rebounded, Rolf knocked Kazuma down with a Running Shoulder Tackle, and when Kazuma got back to his feet, Rolf ran the ropes and knocked Kazuma down with a couple of more Running Shoulder Tackles. When Kazuma got back to his feet, Rolf hit him with a Reverse Atomic Drop, and then grabbed both of his arms, causing the crowd to cheer louder.
"Rolf has both of Kazuma's arms trapped in his underarms! You know what that means guys!" Striker exclaimed as Rolf hit multiple headbutts to Kazuma's chest before sending him Overhead with a Belly to Belly Suplex.
"Yeah, we do, Matt! Multiple headbutts to the chest, and then Rolf threw Kazuma into the ring ropes with an Overhead Belly to Belly suplex!" Bob exclaimed as Rolf ran the ropes and hit a Jumping Leg Drop across Kazuma's throat before going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Kazuma once again kicked out, but look at Rolf, who is still coughing and having trouble breathing from all the attacks to the chest," Kotoko noted as Rolf, while still trying to catch his breath, grabbed Kazuma by the right ear. However, Kazuma was able to hit Rolf with a Jawbreaker, causing the crowd to boo before Kazuma staggered back to his feet, ran into the corner, and springboarded off of the top rope, and attempted to hit him with a Crossbody. However, Rolf was able to grab Kazuma in midair and hit him with multiple backbreakers before sending Kazuma crashing to the mat with a Swinging Side Slam. Rolf then went for another pin, hooking both of Kazuma's legs back.
Ref: 1…2..
"Rolf was so close to the three count there, and I'm honestly surprised it wasn't a three count because that Swinging Side Slam looked like it had enough force to break his spine in half," Striker noted as Rolf attempted to ready himself for the Urban Spike (Samoan Spike), but the crowd booed as Darkness and Aqua got onto the apron, and started yelling at the referee and Rolf. The referee attempted to get Darkness off of the apron, and Rolf rolled his eyes before grabbing Kazuma, but Kazuma took advantage of the referee being distracted by jamming his fingers into Rolf's eyes and hitting him with a DDT.
"And Kazuma, takes advantage of the distraction, with an eye rake/DDT combination!" Kotoko exclaimed as Kazuma attempted to roll into a pin with Rolf's tights in his hands, but while Darkness had gotten off of the apron without any problem, Aqua tripped and fell on the apron ass first, keeping the referee's attention away from the pinfall.
"And once again, Aqua slipped up, costing Kazuma a possible win!" Bob exclaimed as Kazuma got up off of Rolf, and stomped over to the referee, and turned him around, telling him that he had missed a pin. Kazuma, once he was sure he got the referee's attention back, Kazuma went into the corner and prepared for the Kazuma Kick (Running Machika Kick). When Rolf staggered back to his feet, Kazuma attempted the Kazuma Kick (Running Machika Kick), Rolf turned Kazuma inside out with an Urban Spike (Samoan Spike).
"Oh, God! Rolf sending Kazuma landing on his head with the Urban Spike!" Kotoko exclaimed as Rolf picked Kazuma up, put him in a Fireman's Carry, and hit him with a TKO, causing the crowd to cheer before he went for the pin.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Rolf!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd cheered louder as Rolf started posing in the middle of the ring, flexing his muscles. Rolf then stopped to let the referee raise his wrist up in victory as the crowd continued to cheer. Kazuma, meanwhile, was taken out of the ring by Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness as Rolf continued to celebrate, much to the delight of the fans.
"Rolf showing what Stan Smith is in for at Bragging Rights with that TKO to Kazuma!" Striker exclaimed as Kazuma was able to get back to his feet. Aqua tried to apologize to Kazuma for distracting the referee, but Kazuma just put a hand up. Kazuma shook his hand and mumbled to himself in anger before lightly pushing past Aqua before he started walking to the back. Megumin and Darkness looked awkwardly at each other, and then at Aqua, before leading her to the back.
"And once again, Kazuma is blaming Aqua for his loss. Aqua made a mistake, but Kazuma's the one who got beaten for the 1-2-3," Kotoko explained as the crowd continued to cheer while Rolf was posing and flexing in the ring. However, while he was celebrating, Rolf turned to face the TitanTron and noticed that Stan Smith was on the TitanTron, with the American Flag furling behind him.
"Rolf…congratulations on the lucky victory here tonight. You just seem to have an endless supply of luck, which is what you used to sneak across our borders and squat in our communities!" Stan exclaimed as the crowd continued to boo while Rolf yelled at Stan, who just chuckled at him.
"It doesn't matter to me whether you're European, half-and-half, or whatever. If you aren't from America, I'm going to show you the power of a 100% Real American like myself. I'm not in the area tonight, but tomorrow at Bragging Rights, I will make sure that in front of Real Americans like myself, you surrender and be forced to realize that you are nothing but an intruder upon this great country," Stan explained as the TitanTron turned off as Rolf glared at the black screen with the crowd chanting his name.
"Well we got the message here from Stan, and Rolf looks determined to make Stan eat his words!" Bob exclaimed as the camera panned to the parking lot, where a limousine came driving into the parking lot. The limo stopped in front of the arena where Intensity was in, and when the door to the limo opened, Shoto Todoroki, Zia Simpson, and the members of the Octane Men's (Soul 'Eater' Evans, Sting Eucliffe, Rogue Cheney, Mordecai, Owen, and Homer Simpson) and Women's (Ochako Uraraka, Zoey Hanson, Xochi Melendez, Akira Hayami, Clover Lamoreaux, and Charlotte Belew) came out of the limo with Dutch Van Der Linde and Mr. Enter accompanying them.
"Excuse me! You guys aren't allowed in the building!" one of the security guards yelled at Todoroki and the gang. Todoroki looked at everyone who was accompanying him before Zia came walking in front of them and smirked at the guards.
"No need to worry boys, we're not here to break in or beat you guys up. We're just waiting for our opponents tomorrow to come to the parking lot and…address what happened yesterday to our faces," Zia explained as the security guards looked at each other in worry as the camera panned back to the backstage interview area, where Brandon Castle was standing next to Izuku Midoriya.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the BTWF Hardcore Champion, Izuku Midoriya. Now Midoriya, I just wanted to know if you had any last words to share with your opponent for Bragging Rights, Death the Kid," Brandon explained as Midoriya nodded before letting out a chuckle.
"I do actually. I was really impressed with all those skateboard tricks that Kid knows. I mean, that does take some serious talent. Now, whether or not he can apply that to our match tomorrow is another question. I'm on a personal mission to get myself back into World title contention, and I'm not planning on losing any time soon, especially on a PPV as big as this one. So Kid, you better bring you're A-Game, because if you don't, it's gonna be a walk in the park for me," Midoriya explained, looking into the camera as the camera itself panned to the stage, where Oney Lorcan's 'Combative' theme song played, causing the crowd to cheer as Maka and Winry came stomping out of the back, with Maka glaring harder than usual at the ring.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, accompanied to the ring by Winry Rockbell, from Death City Nevada, Maka Albarn!" Tony Chimel announced as Maka and Winry stopped at the base of the stage. Maka lifted her pointer finger up, and Winry pointed both her pointer and middle fingers up before they started power walking to the ring. The crowd continued to cheer as Maka kept her steely glare completely focused on the ring as she looked over at Winry, and nodded at her before rolling into the ring from underneath the bottom rope.
"On Octane, Maka and Yang got into a fight during and after their 8 woman tag team match that they lost to the Sisterhood of Darkness," Striker explained as Maka went to the center of the ring, and pointed one finger to the sky as 'You Only Live Once' by Suicide Silence played, causing the crowd to cheer louder as Yang came walking out of the back, with one of the BTWF Women's Tag Team Championship belts in her fists.
"And her opponent, accompanied to the ring by one half of the BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions Ruby Rose, from the Island of Patch in Vale, Remnant, she is the other half of the BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions, Yang Xiao Long!" Tony Chimel announced as Ruby looked worriedly at Yang as she tried to calm her down. The crowd continued to cheer as Yang made her trek to the ring as Ruby hi-fived fans on the way while Yang pushed the Women's Tag Team Championship belt into Ruby's chest before running into the ring.
"Yang is looking forward to getting her hands on the Sisterhood at Bragging Rights, but right now, she is focused on getting her hands on Maka!" Bob exclaimed as Yang immediately tackled Maka to the ground, and hit her with multiple punches to the side of her head as the referee tried to pull her off. Maka started punching Yang in the face back as the referee was finally able to pull Yang off of Maka and force her back into the corner.
"You got that right Bob, as Yang and Maka were brawling before the match even started!" Kotoko exclaimed as the referee was able to separate the two women, and then rang the bell to start the match. The ringing of the bell got Yang and Maka immediately running into each other and started punching each other in the face before Maka kicked Yang in the gut multiple times before Irish whipping her into the ropes. However, when Yang rebounded, she hit a Jumping Shoulder tackle onto Maka and started punching her in the face again as the referee tried to pull her off.
"The match is underway, but Yang is still brawling with Maka!" Striker exclaimed as Yang got off of Maka, and then started stomping on her chest before picking her up by the hair. The crowd continued to cheer as Yang threw Maka into the ropes, and when she rebounded, hit Maka with an Overhead Belly to Belly suplex. Yang then ran the ropes and hit a quickly standing Maka with a Running Knee Lift to the face, before grabbing her in a Waistlock, attempting to hit her with a German Suplex. However, Maka started hitting Yang with multiple back elbows to the side of the face before turning herself around and hitting Yang in the side of the head with a Back Fist.
"Maka, using her striking advantage in this match, knocking Yang loopy with that Back Fist," Kotoko explained as Maka went up to the 2nd rope, and attempted to hit a Diving Uppercut, but Yang was able to grab Maka in a waistlock once again, and hit her with a German Suplex before Bridging into a pin.

"Maka able to roll her shoulders off of the mat, but Yang still has Maka in her grasp!" Bob exclaimed as Yang picked Maka up while having her still in the waistlock. However, Maka attempted to fight her way out of hit with back elbows to the side of the head, but Yang simply threw her down to the may face first, and then ran the ropes, attempting to hit a Penalty Kick to Maka's chest. However, the crowd cheered as Maka dodged Yang's kick, and Maka used this brief slip up in her momentum to roll her up with a School Girl.

The crowd continued to cheer as Maka started hitting Yang with multiple chops across the chest before running the ropes and hitting Yang in the side of the face with another Running Corner Dropkick.
"Maka with multiple dropkicks to the face of Yang, which can make her even more disoriented than that back fist to the side of the head," Striker explained as Maka put Yang in a headlock, and sent her out of the corner with a Running Bulldog before putting Yang on all fours, and ran the ropes to hit Yang in the side of the head with a Single Leg Dropkick before going for another pinfall.

Maka got back to her feet, and when Yang attempted to hit her with a Big Boot, Maka was able to dodge and attempted to hit her with a Russian Legsweep, but Yang was able to push her off.
"Yang still fighting back in this match, able to counter a couple of Maka's moves and strikes," Kotoko explained as Yang attempted to clothesline Maka to the outside, but Maka was able to dodge the clothesline, and throw her onto the apron. The crowd continued to cheer as Maka ran the ropes, and attempted to hit her with a Running Shoulder Thrust, but Yang was able to pick her knee up, causing Maka's head to crash into Yang's knee.
"Ouch! Maka's head just crashed into Yang's knee at high speed!" Striker exclaimed as Yang grabbed Maka's hair, and hit her with a neckbreaker that sent the back of her neck crashing into the middle rope. The crowd continued to cheer as Yang pushed Maka away from the ropes, and hit a Vaulting Shoulder Tackle onto Make before going for another pinfall.

The crowd continued to cheer as Yang picked Maka up, and hit her with multiple knees to the gut before running the ropes, and hitting Maka with a Leg Drop Bulldog. Yang then ran the ropes and hit a Jumping Headbutt across Maka's back before mounting her from behind, pulling her head up, and telling the Sisterhood of Darkness to watch closely.
"Now Yang is sending a message to the same group that nearly took out her right eye!" Kotoko exclaimed as Yang hit Maka with multiple forearms across Maka's face before getting off of her, and picking Maka up, attempting to put her in position for the Burst of Embers (Over the Shoulder Cutter). However, Maka was able to fight out of the hold by hitting Yang in the face with a couple of elbows and then slid behind her. But before Maka could do anything, Yang hit Maka in the side of the face with a hard back elbow before running the ropes and nailing Maka with a Spear before going for another pin.

"Yang is not giving Maka a chance to get back into this thing, which is very smart of her," Bob explained as Yang grabbed Maka by the hair, and started slamming her into the top of the steel steps, causing a small cut to open on top of Maka's head. The crowd continued to cheer and chant for both women as Yang picked Maka up in a back suplex position, and hit her with a Back Suplex, sending Maka's back crashing into the steel ring apron.
"And Maka gets her back sent crashing into the steel of the ring apron!"

"Very nice Diving Clothesline by Yang, who looks frustrated that Maka was able to roll her shoulder off of the mat," Bob explained as Yang grabbed Maka's head, and started hitting her with multiple forearm shots to the face, causing more blood to drip out of the cut on her forehead.

The crowd then cheered as Yang ran the ropes and attempted to hit a Jumping Splash onto Maka's chest, but Maka was able to lift her knees up, causing Yang's chest to crash into Maka's knees.
"Maka is still in this match! Maka bringing the knees up allows her to get a moment of reprieve from Yang's onslaught!" Striker exclaimed as Maka staggered back to her feet, but Yang was also able to get back to her feet.

Bob exclaimed as Maka immediately picked Yang up, and attempted to hit Yang once again with the Genie Hunter (Half-Nelson Suplex). However, when Maka hit the suplex, Yang was able to land on her feet, hit Maka with a Backstabber, and then put Maka in the Too Hot to Handle (Bank Statement).
"Oh! And once again, Yang has Maka locked in the Too Hot to Handle! This may be too much for Maka to handle!" Striker exclaimed as Yang pulled back on Maka's neck, causing her to growl in pain. Maka started elbowing Yang in the side of the head, but this did not weaken her grip, so Maka tried to go after Yang's bandaged right eye. This caused Yang to become furious, and hit Maka with multiple elbow shots to the top of the head until Maka lost even more blood, before putting her back in the Too Hot to Handle (Bank Statement). After another minute in the hold, Maka used the last of her remaining strength to tap out to Yang's submission hold.

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner as a result of a submission, she is one half of the BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions, Yang Xiao Long!" Tony Chimel announced. Yang, however, didn't seem to notice the announcement as she continued to stretch Maka out in the Too Hot to Handle (Bank Statement). Winry immediately rolled into the ring and tried to pull Yang off of Maka, but she did not move and continued to choke a near unconscious Maka.
"Yang has won this match, but she doesn't seem to care, as she's continuing to choke Maka out!" Striker exclaimed as the referee tried to join Winry in stopping Yang from choking Maka, but Yang ignored them both. However, Ruby rolled into the ring and, reluctantly, kicked Yang in the side of the head a couple of times, finally allowing Winry to pull a now unconscious Maka away from Yang.
"And Ruby, having no choice but to practically kick her older sister off of Maka!" Kotoko exclaimed as Yang looked up at Ruby as she put a hand over the cheek that Ruby had kicked. Ruby tried to explain herself as she grabbed both of the BTWF Women's Tag Team Championship belts from the referee, but Yang got back to her feet and continued yelling at her for kicking her in the face.
"Yang doesn't seem happy about her sister kicking her in the side of the head, especially since it was on the side with her bandaged eye," Bob explained as while the two argued, the lights in the arena started flickering a blood-red color, causing the crowd to boo as Ruby and Yang were given a blood bath as Winry pulled Maka away from the ring. Yang and Ruby were completely covered in blood by the time the lights in the arena returned to normal, causing the crowd to boo as Yang started to yell at the stage, telling the Sisterhood to come into the ring.
"A message sent to both teams by the Sisterhood, and we don't even know who the 4th team is going to be at Bragging Rights! This is going to be a battle for the Women's Tag Team Championships at Bragging Rights!" Striker exclaimed as the camera panned to the back, where Bakugo and Mercury are talking with the rest of the NWO (Kite, Marco Diaz, Duncan) before Kurt Bale kicked the door open, with Hitman and Mirio behind him.
"Ummm…excuse you. What the hell do you think you three are doing!?" Bakugo exclaimed as Bale walked up to Bakugo, and started poking him in the chest.
"Oh, well we're here to thank you. Because of your stupid idea to invade Octane last night, we're on lockdown, and everyone is panicked!" Bale exclaimed as Bakugo pushed Bale's finger away, and got right in his face.
"I don't why you're complaining to me, considering that you three participated in the attack I led!" Bakugo exclaimed as Mirio got in front of Bakugo, causing him to back away slightly, putting his hands up.
"We only went with you because Overhaul and Sunny, when they heard you and Gaara were going to Intensity, told us to make sure you didn't do anything or get hurt. That's literally the only reason we helped you fight the Octane locker room," Mirio explained as Hitman jumped from behind Mirio and got into Bakugo's face.
"And we heard you try to tell Overhaul that you were trying to get us to get along? Man, why are you lying like that?" Hitman asked as Bakugo pushed him away. When Hitman tried to jump at Bakugo, Mercury stood in front of Bakugo, and Bale went back to going face to face with Bakugo.
"You want us to get along? How about we have a six-man tag after the commercial break. Go get Jellal, and you can team up with him and Mercury, and I'll team up with Hitman and Mirio, and we can get all frustrations and tensions out in the ring now so we can be on the same page for Bragging Rights," Bale offered as Bakugo stroked his chin in thought. Bakugo then nodded, looked at Bakugo, and slapped Bale as hard as he could in the face before backing away.
"After the commercial break, I'm going to show you why you shouldn't piss me off, you little shit!" Bakugo exclaimed as Duncan, Marco, and Kite went in between Bale and Bakugo as Bale tried to jump on Bakugo before the camera panned to a commercial break.
*Commercial Break*
*Commercial Over*
The camera panned back to the backstage area, where Kohaku and Homura Momiji were playing catch in the middle of the hall. However, they were playing with a medicine ball, and Homura looked as though she was struggling with carrying it, while Kohaku didn't seem to have much trouble with it.
"You look like you're struggling over there, Homura. There's no shame in giving up," Kohaku playfully mocked as she smirked over at Homura, who was already breathing heavily. Homura just shook her head to psyche herself and get herself back into the game, before returning Kohaku's smirk with one of her own.
"You're not getting out of this one that easily, Kohaku!" Homura exclaimed before throwing the medicine ball back at Kohaku. Kohaku almost slipped, but she was able to catch the ball without any trouble. Kohaku then threw the ball at Homura, but while Homura was able to catch it, she wasn't able to maintain her footing, as she slipped and fell onto the ground face first. Kohaku jumped over to Homura, and grabbed the medicine ball out of Homura's hands, and threw it up and down.
"Well Homura, this leaves a lesson to you; don't get into a strength contest with a former powerlifter," Kohaku said with a smirk on her face, as she put the medicine ball down, and outstretched her hand. Homura took Kohaku's hand, allowing Kohaku to pull Homura back to her feet, which in turn allowed the two to give each other a firm handshake.
"You better savor this win Kohaku, because we have Bragging Rights tomorrow, and we're gonna do something a little different," Homura explained, as Kohaku looked at Homura with a raised eyebrow before the camera panned to the stage. 'MANTRA' by Bring Me the Horizon played, causing the crowd to boo as Bakugo came out with Mercury and Jellal following him out of the back.
"The following contest is a six-man tag team match scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, 'the Galaxy' Jellal Fernandes, and representing the NWO, Katsuki Bakugo and Mercury Black!" Tony Chimel announced as Jellal started patting Mercury and Bakugo on the shoulders and back as Bakugo started trash-talking the fans.
"This six-person tag match between the participants of the Intensity Men's Bragging Rights match stemmed from what happened with the attack on Octane yesterday," Striker explained as Mercury patted Bakugo on the chest as Jellal jumped up to the top of the fan barricade, and started tightrope walking on the barricade while Bakugo fist-bumped Mercury, and rolled into the ring through the bottom rope.
"That is true, as Bale called Bakugo's actions last night stupid, and saying how they want to beat the hatred out of each other temporarily, at least until after tomorrow," Kotoko explained as Mercury walked up the steel steps, and jumped up to the top rope, as Jellal blew paper stars into the crowd, causing them to boo louder, as Jellal jumped from the fan barricade to the apron, before jumping over the top rope and into the ring.
"Bakugo also wants to make sure that the fans know he is in charge of the team, and that the fans don't question his authority," Bob explained as once all three men were in the ring, 'Sssnakepit' by Enter Shikari played, causing the crowd to cheer as Bale came walking out with Hitman and Mirio by his side.
"And their opponents, the team of 'the Perfect Irishman' Kurt Bale, Mirio Togata, and 'Ace' Hitman Jones!" Tony Chimel announced as Hitman jumped on Mirio's back, and cheered the team on, as Mirio hi-fived as many fans as he could while Bale smirked at the cheering fans, before kissing the hands of a couple of female fans in the audience.
"Bale looks confident heading into this match, as he usually does, but how long will that last?" Striker asked as Bale, Hitman, and Mirio stopped at the ringside area, looked at each other, nodded, and ran into the ring by sliding underneath the bottom rope. The crowd cheered loudly as Kurt, Hitman, and Mirio jumped on Bakugo, Mercury, and Jellal and started brawling with them, causing the referee to try and get in between the six men.
"Bale and his team are starting this match off with a brawl, as fists are flying everywhere!" Kotoko exclaimed as the referee, having problems separating the six men, shrugged and rang the bell. The crowd cheered as Jellal, Hitman, Mirio, and Mercury rolled out of the ring while continuing to brawl with each other. Bale and Bakugo, meanwhile, were able to get back to their feet as they continued to punch each other in the face. Bakugo was able to push Bale into the corner, but when Bakugo attempted a knee to Bale's gut, Bale was able to grab Bakugo's leg and push him away.
"The brawl inside of the ring has finally come to an end while the brawl is continuing outside of the ring!" Bob exclaimed as when Bakugo got back to his feet, Bale started punching Bakugo in the side of the head before throwing him into the corner. The crowd cheered as Bale climbed up to the middle rope, and started hitting Bakugo with a ten-punch salute, and after he hit the 10th punch, Bale sent Bakugo out of the corner with a Monkey Flip. On the outside, Mirio and Hitman were able to separate themselves from Jellal and Mercury, allowing the four men to get back to their corners.
"Well the brawl on the outside has been stopped, and we can finally have the six-man tag operate without any more trouble," Kotoko explained as, in the ring, Bale ran the ropes, tagged Hitman into the match, and hit a leg drop across Bakugo's throat. Hitman then springboarded into the ring and hit a Springboard Leg Drop across Bakugo's throat before going for a pin.
Ref: 1…2
"Bakugo out at two, and Hitman responds by mounting Bakugo with punches to the face," Striker explained as Hitman picked Bakugo up by the hair, and threw him into the corner. The crowd cheered as Hitman tagged Mirio into the match, and Mirio responded by picking Bakugo up in a Military Press Slam. Hitman then springboarded onto the ropes, allowing himself and Mirio to hit a Military Press/Leg Drop combination. The crowd continued to cheer as Mirio ran the ropes, and hit a Jumping Elbow Drop onto Bakugo's chest.
"Oh! Mirio may have caved in Bakugo's chest with that elbow drop!" Bob exclaimed as Mirio picked Bakugo back up, but the crowd booed as Bakugo poked Mirio in the eye, and tagged Jellal into the match. The crowd booed as Jellal attempted a Springboard Chop to Mirio's head, but the crowd cheered as Mirio was able to catch Jellal in midair, and hit him with a Uranage. The crowd continued to cheer as Mirio stomped on Jellal's chest a couple of times before tagging Bale into the match. Mirio and Bale double Irish whipped Jellal into the ropes, and when he rebounded, Bale and Mirio hit a double back elbow onto Jellal, before Mirio picked Bale up, and hit him with a scoop slam, causing Bale's back to hit Jellal in the chest.
"Some more double-teaming by Mirio and Bale, sending Jellal down to the mat!" Kotoko exclaimed as Mercury attempted to get into the ring, and Bale responded by springboarding off of the middle rope and hit Mercury with a Springboard Leg Drop to the back of the head. The crowd continued to cheer as when Jellal got back to his feet, Bale ran at Jellal and hit him with a Running Facebuster before going for another pin, hooking both of his legs back.
Ref: 1…2
Bale then picked Jellal up and attempted to hit him with the Ushigaroshi, but Jellal hit Bale with multiple elbow strikes to the side of the head. Bale let go of Jellal, and then pushed Bale away, but the crowd cheered as Hitman tagged himself into the match, and then springboarded into the ring, hitting Jellal with a Springboard Dropkick. However, before Hitman could go for the pin, Bakugo went into the ring, causing Hitman to get distracted by hitting Bakugo with multiple clubs to the back.
"Hitman is the legal man, but Bakugo is brawling with him in the ring!" Striker exclaimed as the referee tried to push Bakugo away, but Bakugo was able to rake Hitman's eyes out of the referee's line of sight. This allowed Jellal to nail Hitman with a vicious Backstabber, causing the crowd to boo as Bakugo rolled out of the ring. The crowd continued to boo as Jellal stomped on Hitman's back multiple times before tagging Mercury into the match while stomping on the back of Hitman's neck.
"And thanks to Bakugo's distraction, Jellal was able to take control of this match away from Bale and his team!" Bob exclaimed as the crowd continued to boo as Mercury springboarded into the ring with a stomp to Mercury's back. Jellal hit an elbow drop to the small of Hitman's back before rolling onto the apron, allowing Mercury to pick Hitman up by the hair, and hit him with multiple kicks to the chest before pushing him into the corner.
"Mercury has control of this match and has literally kicked Hitman into the corner," Kotoko explained as Mercury started punching Hitman in the side of the head before picking him up, and hitting him with a Reverse STO that sent Hitman crashing into the middle turnbuckle. Mercury then sent Hitman's head hanging over the middle rope and then ran the ropes to hit Hitman with a knee to the back. Mercury then distracted the referee, allowing Jellal to hit a Running Drive-By kick to the side of Hitman's head, sending him falling away from the ropes, allowing Mercury to pin Hitman with both his legs hooked.
Ref: 1…2
"Jellal is gelling very well with the NWO. Maybe he could become a new member of the group in the future," Bob noted as Mercury stomped on Mercury's chest before tagging Bakugo into the match, causing the crowd to boo louder. Bakugo flipped off the crowd before running the ropes, and hitting Hitman with a Pointed Elbow Drop. Bakugo then backed away, allowing Mercury to hit Hitman with a Jumping Knee to the forehead, causing the crowd to boo louder as Bakugo walked around Hitman, and started stomping on any exposed body parts with the Garvin Stomp.
"Bakugo, using the Garvin Stomp, to target as many limbs as he can, specifically focusing on the legs of Hitman. This would not only prevent Hitman from doing any of his high flying, but also helps Bakugo weaken the leg for the Indian Deathlock," Striker explained as Bakugo grabbed Hitman, and hit him with the Shin Breaker before slamming him down to the ground with a Back Suplex Facebuster. The crowd continued to boo as Bakugo stomped on the back of Hitman's knee a couple of times before walking over to Mirio and slapping him hard in the face.
"Oh! And Bakugo, with a paintbrush across Mirio's face!" Kotoko exclaimed as Mirio attempted to go into the ring to attack Bakugo, but the referee tried to push him back onto the apron. While that was happening, Jellal and Mercury quickly ran into the ring and started stomping on Hitman's back and legs before rolling out of the ring as the referee turned around. Bakugo then kicked Hitman back to his back and then pinned him with both of Hitman's legs hooked.
Ref: 1…2.
"Hitman is out at a count of two, but he didn't kick out, he had to roll his shoulder off of the mat," Bob explained as Bakugo grabbed Hitman by the head, and rammed his head onto the top of the top turnbuckle before tagging Mercury back into the match. The two turned Hitman around, kicked him in the gut, put him in a Suplex position, flipped off the booing crowd, and then hit Hitman with a Double Falcon Arrow. Mercury hit Hitman in the chest with a Pendulum Elbow Drop before tagging Jellal back into the match.
"Some fast tags between the team of the NWO and 'the Galaxy' to keep Hitman away from his corner," Striker explained as Jellal picked Hitman up, and hit him with multiple European Uppercuts to the chin before Irish whipping him into the ropes. The crowd cheered as Hitman attempted to springboard off of the top rope, and hit a crossbody onto Jellal, but the crowd quickly went back to booing as Jellal caught Hitman and sent him back to the ground with a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker before going for a pin.
Ref: 1…2..
Hitman was able to roll his shoulder off of the mat, and Jellal responded by immediately locking Hitman into a Boston Crab.
"Jellal has control of Hitman's legs, using this Boston Crab to not only damage the legs, but the back as well!" Kotoko exclaimed as Hitman immediately tried to crawl to the ropes, but due to the damage done to his legs, his chest fell back to the canvas, allowing Jellal to deepen the hold. After a minute in the Boston Crab, Hitman started striking Jellal's legs, causing the crowd to cheer as Jellal's grip on the Boston Crab started loosening, despite Jellal literally bending backwards to add more pressure to Hitman's legs and back. The crowd continued to cheer as Hitman continued to strike at Jellal's leg, allowing Hitman to finally slink out of the hold, causing the crowd to cheer.
"Oh! Hitman is able to escape the hold! But he's also on wobbly legs!" Bob exclaimed as Hitman turned around, and started punching Jellal in the side of the head, and even kicked him in the side of the head. As Jellal was staggering, Hitman springboarded off of the middle rope, and hit Jellal with a Springboard Cutter, causing the crowd to cheer louder as Hitman used the ropes to pull himself back to his feet, as he tried to make it to his corner. Meanwhile, Jellal started crawling to his corner, with a hand over his mouth, with the crowd continuing to chant for Hitman, as he fell to his knees.
"It's a race to see who can make it to one of their partners first!" Striker exclaimed as Jellal was able to make it to his feet, and tag Bakugo back into the match. However, Hitman also made it to his corner, causing the crowd to nearly explode into cheers as he tagged Mirio into the match. Bakugo tried to run at Mirio, but Mirio was able to knock Bakugo down with a Spinning Leg Lariat, causing the crowd to cheer louder. Mirio then knocked Mercury and Jellal off of the ring apron with two clotheslines, and then when Bakugo attempted to get back to his feet, Mirio hit Bakugo with a clothesline with enough force to sent him spinning in the air.
"Mirio turning this match around, with his unbelievable power!" Kotoko exclaimed as Mirio picked Bakugo up, punched him multiple times in the gut, and then put him in position for multiple backbreakers. The crowd continued to cheer as Mirio threw Bakugo overhead with a Fallaway Slam, sending Bakugo all the way across the ring. The crowd continued to cheer as Mirio jumped up and beat his chest while he waited for Bakugo to get back up. When Bakugo got back to his feet, Mirio attempted to run at Bakugo, but the crowd booed as Bakugo hit Mirio with a dropkick to the knee, sending him into the ropes.
"Bakugo may have stopped Mirio's momentum there by sending him into the ropes throat first!" Bob exclaimed as Bakugo ran the ropes, attempting a Leapfrog Body Guillotine while Mirio was draped over the ropes, but the crowd cheered as Mirio was able to get out of the ropes and pick Bakugo up in a Powerbomb position. The crowd continued to cheer as Mirio hit Bakugo with an Inverted Stun Gun before putting him back in a Powerbomb position and sending Bakugo crashing down with a Spinning Sit-Out Powerbomb before going for a pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Mirio almost gets the three count there, but Mercury springboards into the ring, hitting Mirio with a forearm to the face!" Striker exclaimed as Mercury pushed Bakugo away from Mirio before he started stomping on Mirio. However, the crowd cheered as Hitman springboarded into the ring, and threw Mercury out of the ring with a Hurricanrana. The crowd continued to cheer as Hitman helped Mirio back to his feet, before running the ropes and hitting Mercury with a Vaulting Senton over the top rope, sending Mercury crashing into the fan barricade.
"That's why they call Hitman Jones 'Hitman'; he's always able to hit his target!" Bob exclaimed as Jellal then ran off of the ring apron, and sent Hitman down onto the padded concrete with a Flying Clothesline. Jellal then got back onto the ring apron and attempted another springboard move, but Bale ran into the ring and knocked him off of the apron with a Triangle Dropkick before heading back to his own apron. Meanwhile, Bakugo had gotten back up and attempted to put Mirio in position for the AP Shot (Forward Russian Legsweep), but Mirio pushed him away, before tagging Bale into the match.
"And here comes the Perfect Irishman, who has been wanting to get his hands on Bakugo for weeks now!" Striker exclaimed as Bale jumped up to the top turnbuckle, and hit Bakugo with a Diving Knee to the face, before throwing him into the corner. Bale started punching Bakugo in the side of the face, and then ran into the corner, attempting a Running Knee, but Bakugo was able to duck out of the way, causing Bale to ram his knee into the top turnbuckle before Bakugo ran the ropes and sent Bale down with a Running Front Chop Block.
"And Bakugo takes Bale out at the knee!" Kotoko exclaimed as Bakugo kicked Mirio off of the apron with a big boot before grabbing Bale by the hair, and throwing him into Mirio, causing the two to have a meeting of the minds. The crowd continued to boo as Bakugo grabbed Bale by the hair, and hit him with the AP Shot (Forward Russian Legsweep) before going for the pinfall, with Mercury keeping Hitman and Mirio from entering the ring.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, the team of Katsuki Bakugo, Mercury Black, and 'the Galaxy' Jellal Fernandez!" Tony Chimel announced as Mercury jumped over Hitman and Mirio to get into the ring and celebrate with Bakugo. Bakugo and Mercury hug in the middle of the ring while Jellal came running into the ring, and celebrating with them as Bale sat up, and started slapping his leg to get the blood flowing back in it.
"Bakugo able to get the victory today, and hopefully, these men can work together come tomorrow at Bragging Rights," Striker explained as Hitman and Mirio rolled into the ring, and helped Bale back to his feet. Bakugo then let go of Mercury, and walked up to Bale, talking to him. Bale looked at Bakugo with a raised eyebrow, and nodded before, reluctantly, shaking hands with Bakugo.
"Well, there you have it, Matt. I think they may be trying to put this rivalry on the back burner until after Bragging Rights," Kotoko responded as Bale sighed, and told Bakugo he wanted to do one thing before putting things behind them until tomorrow. Bakugo raised his eyebrow, and Bale slapped Bakugo as hard as he could in the face, causing the crowd to cheer as Bakugo started trembling with anger while Bale was smirking at him.
"Bale may be willing to work with Bakugo, but an eye for an eye, or in this case, a slap for a slap!" Bob exclaimed as Bale told Bakugo that he was now completely ready to work with him at Bragging Rights. Mercury tried to calm Bakugo down as Bale hi-fived Hitman and Mirio and left the ring with them as Jellal looked on in the corner as Mercury and Bakugo were angrily discussing what just happened with each other. However, before the camera could pan to the backstage area, BTWF Women's Champion 'Amazing' Luna Collins sped walked to the ring, with a steel chair in her hand.
"And here comes Luna! She said earlier tonight that she wanted her opponent for Bragging Rights, Rei Ayanami, in the middle of the ring!" Striker exclaimed as Luna glared at the three men remaining in the ring, threw the chair into the middle of the ring, rolled into the ring from underneath the bottom rope, and set the chair up before sitting in it and demanding a microphone.
"Luna isn't waiting for Bakugo, Mercury, and Jellal to get out of the ring. She wants to talk with Rei now!" Kotoko exclaimed as Bakugo led Mercury and Jellal out of the ring as Tony Chimel handed his microphone to Luna. The crowd chanted for Luna, as she looked around, and turned towards the entranceway.
"Rei! I'm ready for our talk! I told the security to let you in so we can talk, so come on out! I'm not leaving this ring until we have our chat!" Luna exclaimed as she looked at the entranceway for a moment, as the crowd chanted for both Rei and Luna. The crowd then exploded again as Rei Ayanami came walking out of the back with the BTWF World Women's Championship around her shoulder. Luna smirked as Rei continued to walk to the ring, and when Rei made it to ringside, she asked for a microphone. When Rei got the microphone, she rolled into the ring and walked right up to Luna, who was still seated in her chair.
"Luna, thank you for letting me in the ring. Now, what is it that you wanted to talk about?" Rei asked as Luna nodded, and stood up so that she can get face to face with Rei, who did not back down at all.
"Rei, I have nothing against you personally. You and I helped each other get out of Ritsuko Akagi and Jennifer Kajiwara's contracts at the last Starshow, and we both became the Women's Champions of our respective shows. I not only have respect for you, I consider you a friend. However, I've heard the whispers in the locker room and the BTWF fanbase that you're the easy favorite to win," Luna explained, causing Rei to raise her eyebrow in confusion as Luna continued to talk.
"That's not all. People are also saying that my win is a flash in the pan. That Lucy's going to get her BTWF Women's Championship back, and I'm just keeping it warm for her. And they think that you're going to win because you've had the title longer, and you're technically the veteran in this match. But the reason I called you out here is so that I can tell you, Rei Ayanami, that you're not going to have an easy time at Bragging Rights. I'm going to beat you, and I'm going to hold onto this championship for a long time," Luna explained, causing the crowd to cheer and chant her name, as Rei nodded, and lifted her microphone in front of her mouth.
"Luna…I appreciate you telling me this. I really do, because I want to make sure that I have 100% of your attention for our match at Bragging Rights. Many people in the BTWF fandom may have had harsh things to say about you, but many people also say that we are going to have the match of the night at the PPV. And I want to make sure that we are focused on each other; no Sherry and the Sisterhood, no Lucy and the Conglomerate. It is just going to be the two of us, putting a match for the ages, and showing the doubters why we are the best women's wrestlers in the company," Rei soliloquized. Luna looked on at the cheering crowd and nodded. Luna then dropped the microphone and put her hand out. The crowd cheered as Rei nodded and shook Luna's hand before Luna pulled Rei closer, telling her to make sure that she's ready for Bragging Rights before the camera panned to a commercial break.

*Commercial Over*
The camera panned to the backstage area, where Lucy Heartfilia was sitting with the Conglomerate (Tohru Kobayashi, Liz Thompson, and Patty Thompson), Juniper Lee, and Jiro Kyoka, who was strumming a few notes on her guitar.
"OK, listen. At Bragging Rights, we have to win the Bragging Rights 7-on-7 match. It's the only way that I can get my rematch against Luna, so I can get the BTWF Women's Championship back where it rightfully belongs. And to do that we have to make sure that Jiro-" Lucy was explaining before she noticed that Jiro wasn't paying attention, and strumming notes on her guitar.
"JIRO! Are you listening to me!?" Lucy yelled, causing Jiro to stop strumming her guitar, and put it down next to her.
"Yeah, Lucy, I know that you need to win, and I know that I'm the key to you controlling the team. Look, Minatsuki is just some crazy bitch, and she's not going to beat me when it comes to actually wrestling in the ring. So you don't need to worry," Jiro responded as Lucy looked at everyone else in their meeting before hearing a knock at the door. It was the backstage attendant, who walked into the locker room and pointed at Jiro.
"Jiro, your match is coming up in a few minutes," the ringside attendant explained, causing Jiro to nod, and pick her guitar up before leaving the room, with Lucy, June, and the Conglomerate following her out. The camera then panned to the backstage interview area, as Lamy was standing next to the BTWF Tag Team Champions, Robbie and Thompson.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the BTWF Tag Team Champions, Robbie and Thompson. Now, I just wanted to know if you have any last remarks for your opponents for Bragging Rights, Valentino and Bam," Lamy explained as Robbie and Thompson nodded in response before Robbie took the microphone.
"All I have to say to Valentino and Bam is that they better make sure they're focusing on us, and not the drama between their managers," Robbie explained as Thompson took the microphone, and patted both his and Robbie's BTWF Tag Team Championship belts.
"We've been training ourselves to not only maintain our focus in the ring but out of the ring as well. So, if you are distracted by Rachel and Frida, we won't be, and will be getting another win for us!" Thompson exclaimed as he and Robbie hi-fived each other before leaving the interview area. The camera then panned to the stage, where 'Burn' by the Bunny and the Bear played, causing the crowd to cheer as Minatsuki came skipping out of the back, with Weiss, Rally, and Blake.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, accompanied to the ring by Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Rally Vincent, from Tokyo Japan, Minatsuki Tamaki!" Tony Chimel exclaimed as Minatsuki spun around and hi-fived all the fans that had their hands out. Rally grabbed Minatsuki by the hand and started whispering in her ear, telling her about the plan for the match.
"Last week, Minatsuki was attacked backstage by Jiro, allowing Tohru to get a victory over her via forfeit, and allowing her to join Lucy in the Intensity Women's Bragging Rights team," Striker explained as Minatsuki, when she got to the ringside area, hugged Rally, Blake, and Weiss, who patted her in the back and/or awkwardly hugged her back before they continued going over the plans for the match with her.
"And thanks to some discussion with our General Managers, Minatsuki now has another opportunity to become a part of the Intensity Women's Bragging Rights match, but only if she can defeat Jiro in a match tonight," Kotoko explained as Minatsuki climbed up to the ring apron, and jumped over the top rope. The crowd continued to cheer as Minatsuki jumped up to the top turnbuckle, and waved at all the cheering fans before the lights in the arena went down, and the strums of a guitar played throughout the arena. The crowd started booing as Jiro walked out of the back, continuing to strum some notes on her guitar before she looked up at Minatsuki with a smirk on her face.
"Hello unwashed masses of Florida, my name is Jiro Kyoka, the Queen of Song Style. Now tonight, I have the pleasure of once again beating down this kids show host, Minatsuki Tamaki. Now normally, I would have a song for all of you to indulge in, but I just came back from a short tour where I played music for arenas much bigger and cleaner than this one. So, I'm going to be giving my vocal cords a break and focusing on my wrestling. Thank you, and you're welcome," Jiro soliloquized at the crowd before she started walking to the ring, with Lucy Heartfilia, Juniper Lee, and the Conglomerate following her.
"Jiro is her usual confident self tonight, ready to keep her spot in the Bragging Rights match intact," Bob explained as Jiro rolled her eyes at the booing crowd before walking up to the steel steps, leaning her guitar on the steel steps, and then running up the steel steps. Jiro told the referee to keep Minatsuki away from her before she jumps over the top rope and raised her fist in the air.
"Minatsuki hasn't taken her eyes off of Jiro since she came out of the back, clearly not forgetting about the assault she went through last week," Striker explained as Jiro and Minatsuki told the referee that they were ready, allowing the timekeeper to ring the bell. The crowd cheered as Jiro and Minatsuki immediately locked up in the middle of the ring, but Jiro was able to push Minatsuki into the corner. The crowd booed as Jiro pulled away from Minatsuki, and slapped her in the face before pulling the referee in front of her.
"Jiro starting this match off with a slap that possibly knocked the taste out of Minatsuki's mouth!" Kotoko exclaimed as Minatsuki started trembling with rage, before she grabbed Jiro by the hair, got out of the corner, and slammed her head onto the top turnbuckle multiple times. The crowd continued to cheer as Minatsuki slammed Jiro's head on the middle turnbuckle, and then moved to the bottom turnbuckle, all before the referee made it to the five count.
"That's what happens when you make Minatsuki angry! We've seen glimpses of this during her match with Hana at Trouble in Tokyo!" Bob exclaimed as Minatsuki picked Jiro up, and hit her with multiple punches to the side of the head before Irish whipping her into the ropes. The crowd continued to cheer as Minatsuki hit Jiro with a Spinning Heel Kick, causing Jiro to try and crawl away from Minatsuki. However, Minatsuki hit a Running Penalty Kick to Jiro's chest and then hit Jiro with a Jumping Senton to the chest before going for the pin.

"Jiro able to kick out at one, but you know that she's regretting that slap to Minatsuki's face!" Striker exclaimed as Minatsuki picked Jiro up, but the crowd booed as Jiro poked Minatsuki in the eye. Jiro pushed Minatsuki back into the corner and started stomping on her gut, but the crowd cheered as Minatsuki grabbed Jiro's foot, put it back down, and hit her with a Superkick to the side of Jiro's head.
"And Minatsuki takes Jiro back down with a kick to the head!" Kotoko exclaimed as Minatsuki picked Jiro up, and put her in a Fireman's Carry position, but Jiro was able to escape the position, and get onto the apron. However, when Jiro turned Minatsuki around, Minatsuki hit a Jumping Enziguri onto Jiro, sending her falling to the floor. The crowd continued to cheer as Minatsuki jumped and waved at the fans before climbing up to the top rope, and waited for Jiro to get back to her feet. However, when she did, Jiro pushed Patty and Liz in the way of Minatsuki's crossbody, causing the crowd to boo as Jiro smirked at Minatsuki.
"Jiro, using Lucy's allies as a shield from Minatsuki's flying crossbody!" Bob exclaimed as Minatsuki immediately kipped back to her feet, and ran at a distracted Jiro, hitting her with a Running Rocket Kick. The crowd cheered as Minatsuki jumped up, and gave a couple of fans in the front row a hug before continuing to chase Jiro as the crowd chanted 'Fuck Her Up, Minatsuki!' Jiro tried to crawl away, as Minatsuki followed her, but the crowd booed as Jiro grabbed the front of Minatsuki's tights, and sent her face first into the announcers' table.
"Oh! Jiro just sent Minatsuki's face crashing into the corner of the announcers' table! That sharp edge may have cut her!" Striker exclaimed in worry as Jiro started stomping on Minatsuki's back as the referee started counting both women out.
Ref: 1…2…3
Jiro grabbed Minatsuki by the hair, and slapped her a couple of times in the face before picking her up, and hitting her with a Scoop Slam on the top of the announcers' table. The crowd continued to boo as Jiro sat next to Minatsuki, and patted her on the top of the head, before hitting her with multiple elbow strikes to the top of the head. Jiro then threw Minatsuki off of the announcers' table and then jumped off of the announcers' table with a stomp to the chest, causing Lucy and the rest of the group to applaud her.
"Jiro, using the momentum of jumping off of our table to nearly cave Minatsuki's chest in with that stomp!" Kotoko exclaimed as Jiro continued to stomp on Minatsuki, causing Weiss, Blake, and Rally to walk over to the side of the ring with the announcers' table to check on Minatsuki as the referee continued to count the two women out.
Ref: …4…5…6
"The referee is counting both women out, and Jiro needs to make sure that she doesn't get counted out," Bob explained as Jiro picked Minatsuki up, and punched her several times in the face, before ramming her face into the steel ring apron. The crowd continued to boo as Jiro climbed up to the apron, and while Minatsuki's face was still down on the apron, and hit her with a jumping Undertaker style leg drop across the back of Minatsuki's neck. Jiro then pushed Minatsuki off of the ring apron, and then jumped off of the apron, and hit her with a Cactus Elbow as the referee continued counting both women out.
Ref: …7…8
Jiro grabbed Minatsuki and threw her back into the ring, and much to the crowd's chagrin, pinned Minatsuki, hooking her tights back.
Ref: 1…2.
"Minatsuki is able to kick out at two, and she is still not bleeding despite being sent into the corner of the commentators' table," Striker explained as Jiro ran the ropes and hit her with a Jumping Knee to the forehead. The crowd continued to boo as Jiro grabbed both of Minatsuki's arms, preventing Minatsuki from defending herself, and kicked her right in the face a couple of times. Jiro then ran the ropes and hit Minatsuki with a knee lift that had enough force behind it that Minatsuki's head was sent draping over the middle rope.
"Jiro, while showing off her musical talents any time she can, is a fantastic striker, showing it off with that vicious knee to the face," Kotoko explained as Jiro started choking Minatsuki by jamming her knee in Minatsuki's back, causing Minatsuki's throat to push into the middle rope. The crowd continued to boo as Jiro got off of Minatsuki, and while the referee was being distracted, Tohru punched Minatsuki hard in the face. Weiss, Rally, and Blake tried to chase Tohru off as Jiro ran the ropes and hit another Running Knee to Minatsuki's back before rolling her up for a pin.
Ref: 1…2.
"Weiss, Blake, and Rally are trying to keep the Conglomerate and June away from the match so that they can make sure that Minatsuki and Jiro fight a fair one on one match," Striker explained as Jiro grabbed Minatsuki, and attempted to punch her in the face, but the crowd started cheering as Minatsuki blocked the punch, and started punching Jiro in the face. However, after an attempt at a 4th punch, Jiro blocked the punch and sent Minatsuki down with a Judo Throw, and hit her with a leg drop to the arm.
"Very nice counter by Jiro, hitting a vicious leg drop onto Minatsuki's right arm," Bob explained as Jiro picked Minatsuki up by her right arm, and started kicking her in the chest multiple times before hitting Minatsuki with a quick Saito Suplex. Minatsuki landed on her knees, and Jiro hit Minatsuki with a kick to the side of the head before turning her on her back and going for another pinfall.
Ref: 1…2..
Jiro ran her hands through her hair, before grabbing Minatsuki's arm and putting her in an armbar, causing the crowd to boo.
"And Minatsuki stuck in an armbar, which can prevent her from hitting the Bloody Sunday DDT," Striker explained as Minatsuki tried to drag herself to the ropes, but Jiro was able to stomp on Minatsuki's arm, and then roll her away from the ropes. The crowd continued to boo as Lucy and the rest of her group yelled at Minatsuki to tap out, while Weiss and her group were encouraging Minatsuki to break out of the hold. However, the crowd started cheering as Minatsuki started getting back to her feet while Jiro continued to keep the arm locked in the armbar. Jiro started kicking Minatsuki's face multiple times, but Minatsuki was able to push her away and get into the corner.
"Wait…I think Minatsuki may actually be bleeding thanks to those kicks to the face!" Kotoko exclaimed as some drops of blood began running down Minatsuki's face. When Minatsuki ran a hand through her face and noticed the red stains on her hand, she started vibrating with anger, and Jiro immediately attempted to take her back down with a Running Knee to the face. However, the crowd cheered as Minatsuki didn't register the Running Knee, and started walking out of the corner, and towards Jiro, who was looking at her like she was seeing a monster.
"I think Jiro is rethinking that attempt to take Minatsuki down with that knee," Bob noted as Minatsuki's pupils shrunk as she continued to walk towards Jiro. Jiro attempted to take Minatsuki down with multiple forearms to the side of the head, but Minatsuki cranked her neck and screamed her head off. Minatsuki grabbed Jiro by the hair and started punching her in the side of the head, pushing her into the corner as the crowd continued to cheer. When Jiro was in the corner, Minatsuki continued to hit her with multiple forearms before throwing her out of the corner.
"And Minatsuki's demon is starting to make its way out!" Striker exclaimed as Minatsuki ran at Jiro, and hit her with a Running Basement Dropkick to the chest. When Jiro was on her back, Minatsuki started stomping on the small of her back before picking Jiro up and hitting her with a Michinoku Driver. Minatsuki then ran the ropes, and jumped on the 2nd rope to hit Jiro with a Twisting Body Press to Jiro's chest before putting her in a seated position, and ran the ropes to hit a Sliding Forearm to Jiro's face before going for the pin.

"Jiro barely rolling her shoulder out of that series of moves, and Minatsuki is only getting angrier!" Kotoko exclaimed as Minatsuki mounted Jiro again, and started pounding her in the face. However, Jiro was able to push Minatsuki off of her and staggered back to her feet, and when Minatsuki attempted to come back at her, Jiro pushed her away again, knocking her down, and sending Minatsuki's elbow into the referee, causing her to go down as well. Jiro picked Minatsuki up and attempted to hit her with the Sound Off (Sit-Out Gutwrench Powerbomb), but Minatsuki was able to slip out of it and hit Jiro with a Pele Kick to the back of her head. However, when Minatsuki gave the cheering crowd a primal scream, the Conglomerate (Tohru Kobayashi, Patty, and Liz Thompson) came running into the ring and started beating Minatsuki down.
"Lucy just sent the Conglomerate into the ring! Lucy is desperate to get Jiro into the match!" Bob exclaimed as Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Rally Vincent came into the ring and started brawling with the Conglomerate. The crowd cheered as the Conglomerate and Weiss' group were able to leave the ring and continue their brawl there. June attempted to get into the ring and hit Minatsuki with the Underworld Plunge (Reverse Tombstone Piledriver), but Minatsuki was able to slip out of the move, and hit June with multiple kicks to the face, before throwing her out of the ring, and into the group of Women brawling on the outside. Minatsuki then noticed Lucy attempting to get into the ring, and responded by diving through the ropes and hitting Lucy as many punches as she could.
"And Minatsuki's going after Lucy, hitting her with as many punches as she can!" Striker exclaimed as Jiro was able to get back to her feet, roll out of the ring, and grab Minatsuki before throwing her back into the ring before following her. Minatsuki staggered back to her feet, but Jiro responded by hitting her with a Knee Lift to the face before hitting her with the Sound Off (Sit-Out Gutwrench Powerbomb) and going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"And Minatsuki is barely able to lift her shoulder off of the mat! Jiro is in absolute shock!" Kotoko exclaimed as Jiro nearly pulled her hair off of her head before picking Minatsuki up, and attempting to put her in the Silencer (Kirifuda Clutch). However, Minatsuki was able to hit Jiro in the head with a couple of headbutts, and when she noticed that Lucy was getting up on the apron, Minatsuki threw Jiro into Lucy, causing them to have a meeting of the minds, causing the crowd to cheer before Minatsuki gave the crowd another primal scream, turned Jiro around, and hit her with the Bloody Sunday DDT before going for the pin.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Minatsuki Tamaki!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued to cheer as Minatsuki, seemingly snapped out of her 'Demon' personality, jumped up and started clapping in excitement for herself. Outside of the ring, the brawl had cooled down, which allowed Winry, Blake, and Rally to roll into the ring, and celebrate with Minatsuki.
"Minatsuki has beaten Jiro! She is now the final member of the Intensity Women's Bragging Rights team!" Striker exclaimed as Minatsuki ran over to Weiss, Blake, and Rally, and hugged them each. They each responded by giving Minatsuki a quick hug back, as meanwhile on the outside, Tohru had picked Lucy up, and checked on her while the Thompson Sisters got her some water from the ringside attendant.
"Lucy is getting cared for by the Conglomerate on the outside, as Minatsuki is celebrating with the rest of the Bragging Rights team!" Kotoko exclaimed as June grabbed Jiro, and rolled her out of the ring, yelling at the crowd who were laughing at her and Jiro. Weiss leaned over the top rope and told June to be prepared to listen to her at Bragging Rights, causing June to flip her off before leaving the ringside area with Jiro.
"We'll see who really has the power at Bragging Rights; Lucy or Weiss," Bob explained as the Conglomerate started making their way to the back, following Jiro and June. The camera then panned to the parking lot, where Octane's Men's and Women's Team were still waiting for any sign of an Intensity wrestler. Just then, Bakugo and Gaara came walking up to them with the rest of the Intensity Men's team and smirked at the Octane Men's team.
"Well, looks like you losers are still waiting for us. And since the show is over, let's have a go," Bakugo confronted as Gaara pulled him back, pointing at a Black Jeep that was driving up to the parking lot. Bakugo looked on with a raised eyebrow, and then smirked when he saw BTWF World Heavyweight Champion Zancrow coming out of the Jeep. Zancrow walked over to Sting, and threw him into the front of the Jeep, causing Rogue and Owen to start brawling with Zancrow.
Outside of that, Bakugo, Gaara, and the rest of the Intensity Men's Team started brawling with the rest of the Octane Men's Team. With the security distracted by trying to separate the members of both the Intensity and Octane Men's teams, Zia Simpson and the rest of the Octane Women's Bragging Rights team went into the arena and went to find the rest of the Intensity Women's Bragging Rights team. However, when they passed the interview area, Tohru Kobayashi hit Akira in the side of the head with a Bicycle Kick.
The rest of the Intensity Women's Team, and the Thompson Sisters, came running at the Octane Women's team and started brawling with them. With most of the security busy on the outside, the two groups of women continued to brawl within the hallways, even knocking the backstage interview area down. The screen faded to black as multiple referees and backstage personnel tried to separate all the women from each other.
