BTWF Christmas Chaos (Day 2 Part 3)

'Young' by Hollywood Undead played in the arena, causing the crowd to boo as the lights in the arena turned blue. Gray and Lyon came out of the back, wearing their dark blue Fiore's Top Team shorts jackets as they smirked at the booing fans. Gray and Lyon then turned to each other and shook each other's hands before walking down the entranceway. Gray and Natsu continued to smirk at the booing crowd as Gray feigned several hi-fives with fans in the front row.

"The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, from Magnolia Fiore, they were the team of Gray Fullbuster and Lyon Bastia, Fiore's Top Team!" Tim Barr announced as Gray and Lyon talked themselves up as they continued down the entrance ramp, brushing off the fans' jeering. When Lyon and Gray got to the ringside area, they fist-bumped each other as Lyon walked to one side of the ring, and Gray jumped up onto the apron.

"Gray and Lyon have been giving Tanjiro and Ganta a hard time on Intensity, discrediting their work in Japan and treating them like nobodies," Striker explained as Gray jumped over the top rope as Lyon ran up the steel steps and walked through the middle ropes. Gray and Lyon then met each other in the center of the ring and gave a hi-five to each other before looking on at the booing crowd.

"This match is to not only determine who is the better tag team of these two, but also possible contenders for the BTWF Tag Team Championships in the future," Bob explained as Gray and Lyon went to the corner, and began discussing strategy for the match before TM-61's 'Stand Tall' theme song played, causing the crowd to cheer loudly as Tanjiro and Ganta came running out of the back. Tanjiro and Ganta stopped at the center of the stage before Tanjiro knelt down onto one knee and clapped his hands together while Ganta kissed his fist, and raised it in the air.

"And their opponents, from Kyoto Japan, they were the team of Tanjiro Kamado and Ganta Igarashi, the Japanese Destroyers!" Tim Barr announced as Tanjiro got back on his feet, allowing him and Ganta to walk down the entranceway. Gray and Lyon looked at the Japanese Destroyers with unimpressed looks on their faces as Tanjiro and Ganta continued walking down the entranceway, hi-fiving fans in the front row on their way to the ring.

"If we know one thing about Tanjiro and Ganta, they're not going to take the trash-talk from Gray and Lyon laying down!" Striker exclaimed as Tanjiro and Ganta looked at each other, and nodded with smiles on their faces before running down the rest of the way of the entranceway. Tanjiro and Ganta, when they got to ringside, slid underneath the bottom rope and kipped back up to their feet. Gray and Lyon continued to look on as Tanjiro and Ganta got into the center of the ring for their stage pose.

"Gray and Lyon keeping up the façade of not being impressed by the Japanese Destroyers, which I have to admire, as the Japanese Destroyers are hard to take your eyes off of, especially when they begin wrestling," Bob stated as Tanjiro got off of his knees, hi-fived Ganta, and told the referee that they were ready. When the referee confirmed that Gray and Lyon were ready as well, the referee rang the bell, with Ganta and Lyon as the legal men in the match. Lyon and Ganta immediately started off with a lock-up in the middle of the ring, which ended prematurely as Lyon pushed Ganta into the corner, and took him down with a Hip Toss, causing the crowd to boo as Lyon celebrated taking Ganta down.

"This match is underway, and unexpectedly, Lyon got the first takedown in this match," Kotoko explained as Ganta got back to his feet, and immediately locked up with Lyon again. However, when Lyon attempted to take Ganta down with another Hip Toss, Ganta was able to land on his feet, causing the crowd to cheer. Before Lyon could properly react, Ganta jumped onto Lyon's arm and took Lyon down with a Headscissors. The crowd continued to cheer as Ganta grabbed Lyon, and locked him in an armbar.

"Ganta quickly putting things back in the Japanese Destroyers' favor," Bob narrated as Lyon put his free hand on the ropes, forcing the referee to break the hold. Lyon then attempted to hit Ganta with a Clothesline to the back of the head, but Ganta was able to see this coming, hit a back kick to Lyon's gut, and hit him with a Pele Kick that sent Lyon staggering into the corner. Ganta rolled back to his feet and cricked his neck before hitting Lyon in the chest with multiple Knife-Edge Chops, but Lyon was able to grab one of Ganta's hands and threw him back into the corner. Lyon then hit several Knife-Edge Chops of his own onto Ganta's chest and attempted to Irish whip him into another corner.

"Lyon showing off some chops of his own, and you can already see some welts forming on Ganta's chest!" Striker exclaimed as Ganta was able to jump onto the second rope, and hit Lyon with a Middle Rope Crossbody as Lyon attempted to run at him. Ganta grabbed Lyon's arm, wrung it several times, and dragged Lyon to his corner so that he could tag Tanjiro in, causing the crowd to cheer. Ganta kept Lyon in place as Tanjiro jumped up to the top rope, and hit Lyon's arm with a Diving Karate Chop. Ganta and Tanjiro then Irish whipped Lyon into the corner, allowing Gray to tag himself into the match.

"Gray is in the match, and I don't think the Japanese Destroyers noticed Gray tagging himself in!" Kotoko exclaimed as Tanjiro and Ganta hit a rebounding Lyon with a Hip Toss Backbreaker. The crowd continued to cheer as Tanjiro and Ganta hit a seated Lyon with a Double Kick to the back and chest. Gray then ran into the ring, attempting to knock Tanjiro and Ganta down, but the two hit Gray with a Double Dropkick before Tanjiro went for the pin as Ganta rolled out onto the apron.

Ref: 1…

"Tanjiro and Ganta are still in control, able to knock Gray down with an homage to the Rock & Roll Express!" Bob exclaimed as Tanjiro picked Gray up, and started kicking him several times in the chest before attempting a Jumping Side Kick to the head. However, Gray was able to duck and started hitting Tanjiro several times in the side of the head with multiple forearms. The crowd started booing as Gray sent Tanjiro hard into the corner before attempting to hit him with a Running Corner Clothesline. However, Tanjiro was able to counter with a kick to the gut, pushing Gray back before going up to the middle rope, hitting a Diving Back Elbow onto Gray, and going for another pinfall.

Ref: 1…2

"Tanjiro getting another close count onto Gray, but it's still not enough to get the victory!" Bob exclaimed as Tanjiro picked Gray up, and hit multiple chops to the top of the head before throwing him into the corner. Tanjiro ran into the corner and hit Gray with a Running Knee to the face before tagging Ganta back into the match. Tanjiro sent Gray down with a Snapmare before allowing Ganta to springboard into the ring with a Springboard Double Foot Stomp to the chest. The crowd continued to cheer as Ganta once again tagged Tanjiro into the match before stomping on Gray's stomach, causing him to sit up.

"Ganta and Tanjiro are able to maintain their control with constant tags and powerful double team moves!" Striker exclaimed as Ganta slid back onto the apron, allowing Tanjiro to run the ropes, and hit a Running Penalty Kick to the chest. Tanjiro then tagged Ganta back into the match, and Tanjiro responded by picking Gray up and kneeing him in the gut several times. Tanjiro then put Gray in a Reverse STO position, allowing Ganta to springboard back into the ring with a Springboard Dropkick to the back of the head. Tanjiro then rolled out of the ring before Ganta went for the pinfall, hooking both of Gray's legs back.

Ref: 1…2.

"Gray once again is able to kick out, and this has to be frustrating the Japanese Destroyers," Bob explained as Ganta picked Gray back up, and hit him with several punches to the face before pushing him into the corner. Ganta then rolled into one side of the ring and attempted to hit Gray with a Jumping Corner Forearm, but Lyon was able to pull Gray out of the corner, sending Ganta crashing into the corner, sending him landing on the top turnbuckle. After taking a moment to breathe, Gray ran into the corner and hit a Jumping Dropkick to Ganta's face, sending him falling out of the ring.

"And Fiore's Top Team have completely stopped the Japanese Destroyers' momentum!" Striker exclaimed as Gray backed away from the ropes, waiting for Ganta to get back to his feet. The crowd booed as Gray ran through the ropes, and sent Ganta crashing into the fan barricade back first with a Suicide Dive. Gray started stomping on Ganta's gut and sides before backing away and hitting a Baseball Slide Dropkick to the chest of Ganta. The crowd continued to boo as Gray picked Ganta up by the hair, and threw him into the side of the steel steps, sending his back crashing into the steps.

Ref: 1…2…3

Gray glared at the referee before picking Ganta up and throwing him into the ring apron chest first. The crowd continued to boo as Gray threw Ganta back into the ring, and immediately followed him back into the ring to stomp on his back. Gray dragged Ganta to the corner by his hair and tagged Lyon back into the match. The crowd continued booing as Gray held Ganta's arms behind his back, allowing Lyon to knee Ganta in the chest and stomach multiple times. Lyon then picked Ganta up, and hit him with a Snap Vertical Suplex before running the ropes and hitting a Leg Drop across Ganta's throat.

"Lyon doing the smart thing, and slowing Ganta down so that he can't get momentum back," Bob explained as Lyon stomped on Ganta's chest before hitting a Jumping Elbow Drop to the chest. Lyon then picked Ganta back up and hit several forearm strikes to the side of the head before sending him down with a Snapmare. Lyon stomped on Ganta's face before trash-talking Tanjiro and running the ropes to hit a Running Big Boot to Ganta's face. Lyon once again trash-talked Tanjiro before hitting Ganta with a Pendulum Elbow Drop to the chest and going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2

"Ganta able to kick out, and you can see he's immediately trying to get back to his corner," Kotoko noted as Lyon grabbed Ganta by the hair, and sent him crashing into the corner, tagging Gray back into the match. Lyon hit multiple Shoulder Thrusts to the chest and gut of Ganta before tagging Gray into the match. Lyon kept Ganta held in the corner with more Shoulder Thrusts, allowing Gray to run the ropes and hit a Running Dropkick to the side of Ganta's head. Lyon then threw Ganta out of the corner with a Scoop Slam, allowing Gray to run the ropes, and hit a Jumping Headbutt to Ganta's chest before going for another pin.

Ref: 1…2.

"One thing Gray and Lyon are doing well is keeping Ganta far away from his corner, leaving him all alone while Tanjiro is waiting as patiently as he can for that hot tag!" Striker exclaimed as Gray grabbed Ganta by the hair, and hit him several Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before slamming the back of his head on the mat several times. The crowd continued to boo as Gray stomped on Ganta's head before tagging Lyon back into the match. Gray picked Ganta up, and hit him with a Backbreaker, keeping him in place to allow Lyon to hit Ganta in the chest with a Diving Elbow Drop from the middle rope.

"Some more tag team moves by Fiore's Top Team, doing everything in their power to keep Ganta away from Tanjiro!" Kotoko exclaimed as Lyon grabbed Ganta before throwing him into the corner chest first. Lyon then ran into the corner, hitting a Running Dropkick to Ganta's back before throwing him out of the corner with a Reverse Suplex. Ganta landed on his stomach, and as Ganta tried to get on all fours, Lyon hit a Running Basement Dropkick to the side of Ganta's head before going for the pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.

Ref: 1…2.

"Ganta able to kick out again, but you have to wonder how long he can keep this up, especially if Gray and Lyon keep doing what they've been doing with keeping Ganta away from Tanjiro and tagging in and out quickly," Bob wondered out loud as Lyon grabbed Ganta, and started kneeing him in the gut before taking him down with a Swinging Neckbreaker. Lyon then hit a Jumping Senton across Ganta's chest before rolling into his corner and tagging Gray back into the match. Gray and Lyon fist-bumped each other before picking Ganta up and attempting to hit him with a Double Vertical Suplex.

"Gray and Lyon have Ganta up in the air, planning to damage him some more!" Bob exclaimed as when Ganta got into the air, he was able to maneuver his weight, allowing him to hit both Gray and Lyon with a Double DDT. The crowd cheered as Tanjiro quickly put his arm over the rope, inviting Ganta to tag out of the match. However, as Ganta tried to get back to her feet, Gray grabbed onto Ganta's legs with his own, and took him down with a Drop Toe Hold, causing the crowd to boo as Lyon got back to his feet and hit a Jumping Elbow Drop to Ganta's back. The crowd continued to boo as Lyon kicked Tanjiro in the knee, sending him falling off of the apron and onto the ground.

"Ganta was so close to finally getting out of the ring, but Fiore's Top Team able to keep Ganta away from his tag team partner!" Striker exclaimed as Gray picked Ganta up, and hit him with a Standing Powerbomb before climbing up to the top rope. The crowd booed as Gray told the fans he was going to put Ganta down, but Ganta was able to get back to his feet and punch Gray in the gut multiple times before attempting to climb up to the middle rope. However, Gray started hitting several Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before attempting to push him off of the middle rope.

"Ganta and Gray are in a precarious position there, as maintaining proper balance is key to making sure that they don't fall. Or in Ganta's case, they don't fall again," Kotoko explained as Ganta hit several headbutts to the gut of Gray, causing the crowd to cheer as Ganta climbed up to the top rope, attempting to hit him with a Hurricanrana from the top rope. However, Gray hit a couple of headbutts to the side of Ganta's head, causing the crowd to boo as Gray put Ganta in position for a Powerbomb from the top rope.

"He's not really going to do this, is he!? Gray's not going to Powerbomb Ganta all the way from the top turnbuckle!" Bob exclaimed as Gray did the slit-throat taunt the crowd before jumping off of the top rope, attempting the top rope Powerbomb. However, the crowd exploded into cheers as Ganta was able to counter mid-Powerbomb and hit Gray with a Top Rope Frankensteiner that took both men out. The crowd cheered and chanted for Ganta as he began crawling to his corner with Tanjiro ready to get back into the match.

"What an amazing counter by Ganta! Now all he has to do is get to his corner, and tag Tanjiro into the match!" Kotoko exclaimed as Gray staggered back to his feet, and tried to grab Ganta. However, the crowd cheered as Ganta kipped back up to his feet, and knocked Gray back onto all fours with an Enziguri. Lyon ran into the ring and tried to grab Ganta, but Ganta hit Lyon with the Pele Kick before tagging Tanjiro back into the match, causing the crowd to explode into cheers. Tanjiro climbed to the top rope, and when Gray and Lyon got back to their feet, Tanjiro hit a Diving Dropkick onto both men.

"And Tanjiro is back into the ring! Tanjiro just took both Gray and Lyon down with a Top Rope Dropkick!" Striker exclaimed as Tanjiro ran the ropes, and hit Gray and Lyon with multiple clotheslines. Tanjiro then knocked Gray down with a Legsweep, grabbed Lyon, and hit him with a Hip Toss that sent him falling onto Gray's chest. The crowd continued to cheer as Tanjiro picked Lyon up and threw him into the ropes, but when Lyon stopped himself, Tanjiro sent him out of the ring with a Running Big Boot. Tanjiro then ran the ropes and hit Gray with a Handspring Moonsault before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2..

"Tanjiro is able to take out both members of Fiore's Top Team once again, sending Lyon out of the ring with a boot!" Kotoko exclaimed as Tanjiro picked Gray up, and hit him with multiple open-palm strikes to the chest and the side of the head. The crowd continued to cheer as Tanjiro hit a Jumping Kick to the side of Gray's head, sending him staggering into the corner. Tanjiro ran the ropes, and hit Gray in the corner with a Handspring Back Elbow before putting Gray in a Front Facelock, and hitting him with a Tornado DDT. Tanjiro then ran the ropes, attempting another move, but Lyon was able to trip Tanjiro up while he was running, causing the crowd to boo as Tanjiro kicked at the side of Lyon's head several times.

"Tanjiro not letting Lyon hinder his momentum once again, hitting him with several kicks to the side of the head!" Bob exclaimed as Tanjiro wanted for Gray to get up, and attempted to hit a Spinning Heel Kick onto Gray, but Gray was able to counter with a Gutbuster, sending his gut falling crashing into his knee. The crowd continued to boo as Gray picked Tanjiro up in a waistlock, and hit Tanjiro with several German Suplexes before picking him back up, and hitting him with a Powerbomb before going for a pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

Ganta ran into the ring, and hit a Jumping Double Stomp onto Gray's back, breaking up the pin. However, Lyon ran into the ring, and hit Ganta with a Running Knee to the gut, causing the crowd to boo as Lyon attempted to throw Ganta out of the ring, but Ganta was able to counter this throw and sent Lyon flying out of the ring.

"Ganta was not only able to break Tanjiro out of Gray's pin, but send Lyon flying out of the ring!" Striker exclaimed as Ganta started climbing the top rope, causing the crowd to begin cheering again as when Lyon got up, Ganta dived off of the top rope, and hit a Senton onto Lyon, sending both of them falling over the fan barricade and into the crowd. The crowd themselves chanted 'Holy Shit!' at them as back in the ring, Gray hit Tanjiro with a Snap DDT before climbing up to the top rope, planning on hitting Tanjiro with a Flying Headbutt. However, when Gray dived down for the Diving Headbutt, Tanjiro lifted both of his feet up, sending Gray's face crashing into Tanjiro's feet.

"Tanjiro able to counter the Flying Headbutt, despite the multiple blows to the head by Gray!" Striker exclaimed as Tanjiro noticed Gray staggering with a hand over his mouth, and hit him with a Buzzsaw Kick to the side of the head. The crowd cheered as Tanjiro jumped up to the middle rope, and attempted to hit a Japanese Destroyer from the middle rope, but Gray hit Tanjiro with a Superkick to the gut before attempting to send him down and lock him in the Hypothermia (Crippler Crossface).

"Gray has Tanjiro captured, and is trying to lock him in the Crossface! This could be the beginning of the end for the Japanese Destroyers here!" Bob exclaimed as Ganta was able to climb out of the crowd, and noticed that Tanjiro was close to being stuck in the Hypothermia (Crippler Crossface). Ganta responded by getting on the apron of the ring and Springboarding back into the ring to hit Gray with a Springboard Elbow Drop to the back. The crowd cheered as Ganta went back down to the floor, and when he noticed that Lyon was getting back to his feet, Ganta hit Lyon in the side of the head with a Spinning Backfist, sending him falling back down.

"Ganta has taken Lyon back out, leaving Gray all alone in the ring with Tanjiro!" Kotoko exclaimed as Gray staggered back to his feet, and picked Tanjiro up, but Tanjiro hit him with a hard enough Jawbreaker to send him staggering into the middle rope. Ganta ran at Gray, and hit him with a Drive-By Kick to the side of the head, allowing Gray to stagger out of the ropes, and Tanjiro to hit the Japanese Destroyer onto Gray before going for the pinfall.

*Bell Rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, the team of Tanjiro Kamado and Ganta Igarashi, the Japanese Destroyers!" Tim Barr announced as Tanjiro rolled out of the ring to hug Ganta in celebration. The crowd continued to cheer as Ganta jumped on Tanjiro's back, as both men laughed in victory while the referee followed them out of the ring to raise Tanjiro's wrist up in victory.

"Tanjiro and Ganta showing Gray and Lyon here that they are more than capable of hanging with the other BTWF Tag Teams!" Bob exclaimed as Gray rolled out of the ring, holding his head in pain as Lyon started getting back to his feet. From the other side of the fan barricade, Lyon looked annoyed as he walked over the top of the fan barricade and walked over to Gray, making sure he was OK.

"Tanjiro and Ganta did an amazing job no doubt, but let's not discredit Gray and Lyon, as they did an excellent job keeping up with the Japanese Destroyers," Kotoko responded as Lyon helped Gray up, who couldn't stand straight while Ganta jumped off of Tanjiro's back, and put him in a tight hug while the crowd continued to chant their names and cheer them on. Lyon started yelling at Tanjiro and Ganta, saying that they just got lucky as Gray almost slid out of Lyon's grasp.

"No doubt about that, Kotoko, but this could be the beginning of some big things coming for Tanjiro and Ganta," Striker responded as Ganta yelled back at Lyon that he and Tanjiro could beat Gray and Lyon 100 times over. The camera panned to the backstage area with Tanjiro trying to calm Ganta down as Lyon helped Gray out of the ring. The camera focused on the backstage interview area where Melissa Shield was standing next to Crona, who was pressing a bloody towel on the side of his head.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the former BTWF Cruiserweight Champion, Crona Gorgon. Crona, how are you feeling after that wrench shot to the side of the head?" Melissa asked as Crona looked at Melissa with a glare for a second before sighing and taking a couple of deep breaths to calm himself down.

"I'm gonna be honest, I feel like shit. Not only did I take a steel wrench to the side of my head, but I lost my BTWF Cruiserweight Championship to some selectively misogynistic asshole," Crona said as he winced in pain from the head wound. Melissa raised an eyebrow at the use of the word 'selectively' before continuing the interview.

"Understandable, now what are your plans regarding the Cruiserweight Championship? Kazuma seems really confident that he's going to keep the championship for a while," Melissa asked as Crona sighed once again before pressing the towel over his wound again.

"My head hurts WAY too much to think of a specific game plan right now, but I do plan on getting the BTWF Cruiserweight Championship back around my waist ASAP," Crona explained before kneeling down, dry heaving as Melissa backed away, afraid that she was going to get vomited on.

"Melissa, as much as I want to continue this interview, I really need to lay down because I'm starting to get dizzy. I'll see you later," Crona mumbled as Melissa nodded in understanding. Crona mouthed 'Thank You' before walking away from the backstage interview area mumbling curses before the camera panned back to the ring. Lisa and Louise's Classroom was set up with Lisa and Louise sitting behind a teacher's desk next to a whiteboard. The ring also had several school desks in front of the whiteboard and the teacher's desk, with notepads and pencils on them.

"Imbeciles of Chicago, welcome to another edition of Lisa and Louise's Classroom!" Lisa introduced, causing the crowd to boo as Lisa and Louise just rolled their eyes at the crowd before Louise continued.

"Now, the only reason we decided to give you morons in this cesspool an opportunity to watch Lisa and Louise's Classroom live, is because we've had some issues with one of the newer BTWF Women's tag teams. And that tag team is the team of Kohaku and Homura Momiji," Louise explained, causing the crowd to cheer when she mentioned Kohaku and Homura's names. Lisa and Louise glowered at the cheering fans as they began chanting for both Kohaku and Homura.

"Of course, you people would cheer for a bunch of overgrown children like them. Kohaku and Homura have done nothing but play childish games since they've gotten here. A victory over our easily distracted former BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions means absolutely nothing when myself and Louise know that if Yang and Ruby weren't so distracted by their frankly pathetic family drama, they would have wiped the floor with those two overgrown children," Lisa monologued, causing the crowd to boo and chant 'Shut the Fuck Up!' at her. Louise responded by covering Lisa's ears, as Lisa herself began glaring at the crowd the more they chanted.

"You can chant that all you want, but you know I'm right. In a battle of intellect and maturity, myself and Louise are the clear victors. Hell, even in a wrestling match, we'd be the winners, because that's just how good myself and Louise are!" Lisa exclaimed before noticing that the crowd was beginning to cheer loudly. When Lisa and Louise turned towards the stage, they noticed Kohaku and Homura coming down to the ring. They had microphones in one hand, straws in the other, and their cheeks were slightly puffed as if they had something in their mouths.

"Are you guys done yet? All I heard was 'Blah, blah, blah', and I don't think these people in Chicago paid to see you two run your mouths!" Kohaku exclaimed, her voice slightly muffled by whatever was in her mouth. The crowd continued cheering as Kohaku and Homura continued making their way to the ring, as Louise and Lisa continued glaring at the two.

"Didn't your parents ever teach you not to talk with your mouth full!? What is even in your mouths that you felt so important that you needed to eat it live on PPV!?" Louise asked in a condescending and annoyed manner as Homura and Kohaku walked up the steel steps and into the ring.

"Well, usually when students don't like what the teacher is talking about, they usually have a way of telling them," Kohaku vaguely explained as Lisa and Louise looked at each other with raised eyebrows.

"What are you-?" Lisa attempted to ask before she was hit by a couple of spitballs. The crowd cheered as they realized that Kohaku and Homura were shooting spitballs at them through the straws.

"Are you kidding-!?" Louise attempted to yell as she also got hit with spitballs by Homura and Kohaku. The crowd booed as Louise kicked Homura in the gut, causing her to spit the straw out of her mouth. Lisa responded by kicking Kohaku in the leg, starting a brawl between all four women, causing the crowd to cheer louder and chant for Kohaku and Homura. These chants and cheers only grew louder as Kohaku was able to punch Lisa in the gut several times and slam the side of her head into the teacher's desk.

"Kohaku and Homura beginning to fight back against the hosts of Lisa and Louise's Classroom!" Striker exclaimed as Homura was able to dodge an attempted strike by Louise and take her down with a Reverse Hurricanrana. The crowd continued to cheer as Kohaku grabbed Lisa by the hair, and threw her right into the whiteboard in the middle of the ring. Lisa rolled out of the ring before Homura jumped onto the teacher's desk, and the crowd continued to cheer as Homura and Kohaku hit an Assisted Moonsault from the top of the teacher's desk, landing right on Louise's gut.

"Homura and Kohaku with the Assisted Moonsault from the top of the teacher's desk, crushing Louise's midsection!" Kotoko exclaimed as Kohaku grabbed Louise, and attempted to put her in the corner, but Lisa was able to grab Louise's leg. The crowd began booing as Lisa was able to successfully pull Louise out of the ring, leaving the ringside area and going up the entrance ramp. However, before Louise and Lisa could make it to the backstage area, Homura picked up one of the microphones that Lisa and Louise dropped.

"Girls, before you leave, we have a homework assignment to give you. We want you to study us. Watch that match between us and Ruby & Yang, and study all our moves and whatever else you notice. You're gonna need it if you want to pass the test of a match with us this Saturday on Intensity!" Homura exclaimed. The crowd cheered at this announcement, as Lisa nodded and told Homura and Kohaku that she and Louise were going to give them a wrestling lesson on Saturday.

"Well, it looks like we have a match to look forward to on Saturday Night Intensity!" Bob exclaimed as the camera panned away from the ring as Homura and Kohaku continued exchanging harsh words with Lisa and Louise. The camera panned to an interview room, where Gabi Braun was sitting with one leg over the other on a single-seated couch.

"Who am I!? Pffft! Are you kidding me!? Who doesn't know who I am!?" Gabi exclaimed in between laughter before realizing that the interviewer was serious. Gabi's laughter lowered to a chuckle while she was shaking her head.

"Alright, my name is Gabi Braun, and you can call me one of the unsung heroes of the independent circuit," Gabi explained as the screen then showed multiple clips of Gabi throwing her opponents overhead with a Belly-2-Belly Suplex. The screen also showed clips of Gabi running into the corner, ramming her opponent with a Running Shoulder Thrust.

"I always idolized wrestlers like Kurt Angle, the best of their craft and someone who is recognized as one of the best because of their pure wrestling ability. And at this point, I think I may have surpassed Kurt Angle. I mean, did you see that pathetic excuse of a 'retirement tour' he had in 2019?" Gabi asked before beginning to laugh again. The clips then showed Gabi making several independent show women tapping out with the Grapevined Ankle Lock, and sending a couple of women crashing into the center of the ring with an Inverted Olympic Slam.

"BTWF Evolve is going to be MY show. They may as well just give me the Women's Championship of the show because when I get there, I'm going to RULE BTWF Evolve," Gabi explained before she gave the camera a thumbs-up and a wink. The camera then panned to another interview room, where Tengen Uzui was sitting on the chair, smirking at the camera as the clanging of the jewelry hanging from his headband was very audible.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the FLASHIEST man in the entire Fanfiction Wrestling Multiverse, Tengen Uzui!" Uzui exclaimed in as over-the-top of a voice as he possibly could. The camera then panned to footage of Uzui hitting several wrestlers with the Flash Bang (Standing Dragonrana), which caused the crowd at these independent shows to explode into cheers.

"As the flashiest man in not only this company but in the entire Fanfiction Wrestling Multiverse, of course, I would make a great fit for this BTWF Evolve show," Uzui explained as the clips continued rolling, showing Uzui hitting moves that were surprisingly athletic for a man of his size and muscle mass. These moves included a Tornado DDT, a Rolling Thunder Clothesline, and a Jumping Leg Lariat.

"Believe me, there is just as match substance as there is flash when it comes to Tengen Uzui, and you'll all see that watching me on BTWF Evolve!" Uzui announced, flexing for the camera before the feed panned to another woman, who had long brown hair and a wide smile on her face.

"Hi everyone! My name is Sasha Blouse, and I'm so happy to be a part of BTWF Evolve!" Sasha exclaimed as he waved at the camera. The feed then panned to some matches on the independent show, where Sasha was hitting powerful kicks to multiple women including a Running Scorpion Kick, a Running Enziguri, and a Superkick to the side of the head.

"I always try my best to make the fans as happy as possible in the ring. Wrestling helped me and my family feel happy through all the hard times in our lives, so I feel like I should give back to the business by doing my best to give the fans a show every time I wrestle," Sasha explained as cameras panned to Sasha's parents watching Sasha finish a wrestler off with the Smile and Say Cheese (Kai-ropractor). The clips then showed Sasha hitting more wrestlers with the Smile and Say Cheese (Kai-ropractor) before the clips showed Sasha stretching some wrestlers up with the Smiley Stretch (Tilt-a-Whirl Crossface).

"My opponents may not have the best time when they're in the ring with me, but I guarantee that my fans will have the time of their lives thanks to 'Smiley' Sasha Blouse!" Sasha cheered as she gave the camera one last beaming smile before the camera panned to a logo, with 'BTWF: Evolve, Coming Soon' on the screen. The camera then panned to the stage, where 'Way Of the Fist' by Five Finger Death Punch played, causing the crowd to boo as Bakugo started stomping out of the back, his eyes focused over the ring, where the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship was being hung over the ring.

"The following contest is a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match, and it is for the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, from Musutafu Japan, he is the leader of the NWO, Katsuki Bakugo!" Tim Barr announced as the crowd continued to boo Bakugo, who was occasionally directing his glare towards the crowd, maintaining his focus on the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship. Bakugo did, however, swipe at several hands from the front row trying to reach out for a hi-five.

"Bakugo has made no bones about his feelings towards Zancrow and this attitude change Zancrow has undergone since coming back to the BTWF at Bash at the Beach," Striker explained as Bakugo stomped up the steel steps before stopping on the apron. Bakugo glared at the booing crowd and yelled at them, telling the crowd that he was getting his BTWF World Heavyweight Championship back and the NWO was going to run Intensity again.

"That's right Striker, Bakugo has said that he's not scared of this new Zancrow, despite all evidence to the contrary, and that he will be getting the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship back," Kotoko responded as Bakugo jumped over the top rope and went to the center of the ring. Bakugo continued to sneer at the booing fans before raising both fists with the middle ringers raised, continuing to yell at the fans that the World Heavyweight Championship was his.

"Well Bakugo will be able to really put his words to the test in this Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match for the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship," Bob explained as the lights in the arena turned off, causing the crowd to explode as 'Purified' by Of Mice and Men played and the lights in the arena turned purple. Fire shot out of the stage as Zancrow began walking out of the back, looking down at the ground, not showing his face.

"And his opponent, now residing on Tenrou Island, he is the BTWF World Heavyweight Champion, Zancrow!" Tim Barr announced as Zancrow shot his face back up, showing that his eyes were rolled in the back of his head. As Zancrow got his eyes back to normal and continued his walk to the ring, Bakugo yelled that being a fake Undertaker wasn't going to stop him from getting the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship back.

"Zancrow, since coming back to the BTWF, has been completely unstoppable, winning the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship from Bakugo at Trouble in Tokyo," Kotoko explained as Zancrow continued to the ring until he made it to the ringside area. Zancrow grabbed the middle rope and pulled himself up to the apron before walking into the ring. When Zancrow stepped into the ring, Bakugo ran at Zancrow and started punching him in the side of the head, causing the referee to ring the bell as the lights in the arena turned back to normal.

"And the referee is starting this match since Bakugo couldn't wait to get his hands on Zancrow, peppering him with punches!" Striker exclaimed as Bakugo attempted to push Zancrow into the corner. However, the crowd cheered as Zancrow grabbed Bakugo by the throat with both hands and threw him into the corner. The crowd continued to cheer as Zancrow hit multiple punches to the chest and sides of the head, but Bakugo was able to counter with a couple of kicks to the gut and knee of Zancrow. The crowd booed as Bakugo attempted to hit another kick, but Zancrow grabbed Bakugo's foot and threw him back into the corner.

"These two are having a Pier 6 brawl in the ring, not even thinking about grabbing a ladder to take the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship down!" Kotoko exclaimed as Zancrow hit several Back Elbows to the side of Bakugo's head before Irish whipping Bakugo out of the corner and into the ropes. Zancrow bent forward as Bakugo rebounded off of the ropes, but Bakugo was able to kick Zancrow in the forehead, causing his head to shoot up. The crowd cheered as Zancrow sent Bakugo falling back down with a hard punch to the face.

"What a knockout blow by Zancrow! He may win this match early if he goes out to grab the ladder!" Bob exclaimed as Zancrow, rather than go for the ladder, mounted Bakugo and started punching him in the side of the head. After a moment, he got off of Bakugo and stomped on his gut a couple of times before finally rolling out of the ring and grabbing a ladder set up on the outside. Zancrow then slid the ladder underneath the bottom rope and followed it back into the ring, but while Zancrow was looking to set the ladder up, Bakugo started kicking Zancrow's leg from the ground.

"Bakugo, doing the smart thing and going after the leg, which with enough damage, can make it harder for Zancrow to climb the ladder!" Striker exclaimed as Bakugo got back on his feet, and started kicking Zancrow in the side of the leg before Zancrow pushed Bakugo away with a Back Elbow to the side of the head. Zancrow then grabbed the ladder, set it up in the middle of the ring right underneath the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship, and stepped on the first rung of the ladder to begin climbing it.

"Zancrow's making the first trek up the ladder with the treasure of the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship in his sight!" Kotoko exclaimed as Bakugo got back to his feet, and started hitting Zancrow in the back with several forearms to the back, but Zancrow sent Bakugo staggering out of the ring with a headbutt to the nose. The crowd cheered as Zancrow continued climbing up the ladder, but Bakugo had landed on his feet on the outside and went underneath the ring to grab a steel chair from underneath the ring. Zancrow had made it halfway up the ladder, but Bakugo quickly ran into the ring and threw the steel chair at Zancrow's back.

"Bakugo stopping Zancrow in his tracks by throwing that chair as hard as he could into Zancrow's back!" Bob exclaimed as Bakugo grabbed the chair again, and started hitting Zancrow in the back multiple times, and didn't stop until Zancrow got off of the ladder. Bakugo, noticing that Zancrow was on the ground again, attempted to hit him with a steel chair shot to the head. However, Zancrow was able to punch the chair out of Bakugo's hands, but due to the pain in his back, Bakugo was able to rake Zancrow in the eyes and throw him into the ropes before taking him down with a Dropkick to the back.

"Bakugo with a beautiful dropkick right to the small of Zancrow's back!" Striker exclaimed as Zancrow fell to his knees as Bakugo quickly started climbing up the ladder, causing the crowd to boo as Bakugo traversed halfway up the ladder in a matter of seconds. However, while on his knees, Zancrow was able to drag himself closer to the center of the ring, and use his strength to push the ladder over from the side. This resulted in the ladder tipping over, and Bakugo falling off of the upper-middle portion of the ladder.

"And Bakugo falling off of the ladd—wait! Bakugo landed on his feet and is on the middle rope!" Kotoko exclaimed in shock. Bakugo kept himself balanced on the ropes and attempted to hit Zancrow with a Double Ax Handle from the middle rope as he started getting back to his feet. However, Zancrow was able to catch Bakugo and hit him with a Spinebuster, causing the crowd to cheer as Zancrow grabbed the ladder and attempted to prop the ladder back up. However, Bakugo was able to kick Zancrow in the back of the knee from the ground, and Zancrow responded by taking the ladder and dropping it across Bakugo's chest.

"Ouch! That steel ladder landing right on Bakugo's chest had to have shot the air out of his lungs!" Bob exclaimed while wincing as Zancrow kept the ladder vertically across Bakugo's body, and then ran the ropes to hit a Jumping Leg Drop across the top of the ladder, causing the ladder to crash into Bakugo's face. However, when Zancrow tried to get back up, his right leg briefly almost gave way, causing him to fall onto all fours. Zancrow was able to get up, albeit with some limping before picking the ladder off of Bakugo's body.

"Zancrow delivering some more damage to Bakugo, but at the cost of some mobility in his leg. You can see that he's limping slightly from that leg drop across the steel rung of the ladder," Striker pointed out as Zancrow propped the ladder into place, and positioned it underneath the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship. Zancrow was slowed down due to the pain that was still coursing throughout his leg, but he was able to make it halfway across the ring before stopping briefly to shake some feeling back into his leg. That moment allowed Bakugo to stagger back to his feet, grab the steel chair he had gotten before, and throw it right into the side of Zancrow's head, causing the crowd to boo as Zancrow fell off of the ladder, landing on his damaged leg in the process.

"Bakugo, seizing the opportunity there with a surprise attack onto the BTWF World Heavyweight Champion!" Kotoko exclaimed as Bakugo ran at Zancrow, and hit him with a Running Front Chop Block to the right knee, taking Zancrow down. The crowd continued to boo as Bakugo started ramming the top of the chair into Zancrow's chest before kicking him in the sides several times to turn him around. Bakugo then started yelling at the crowd again before ramming the top of the steel chair into Zancrow's back, not stopping until he could feel the top of the chair bending.

"Bakugo's hitting Zancrow so hard that the chair is bending! He may run out of furniture with how hard he's hitting Zancrow here!" Bob exclaimed as Bakugo returned to using the flat back of the chair, hitting Zancrow in the back more with the chair before finally throwing it out of the ring. Bakugo then stomped on Zancrow's head several times before making his way to the ladder. However, despite this punishment, Zancrow was able to grab onto Bakugo's leg, causing the crowd to boo louder as Bakugo started stomping on Zancrow's hand before kicking him in the side of the head again.

"Bakugo not giving Zancrow an inch here, constantly hitting him with strikes that have so much venom behind them, you'd think Bakugo was part king cobra or something," Bob explained as Bakugo steadied the ladder, and began once again making his way up the ladder. Zancrow grabbed onto the top rope and began pulling himself up as Bakugo began climbing over the middle rung. Once Zancrow got himself up, he got over to the ladder and started clubbing Bakugo in the back with some right hands.

"Zancrow isn't going to give up on the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship that easily!" Kotoko exclaimed as Bakugo started kicking Zancrow away by kicking him in the face. But when he tried to climb back up, Zancrow grabbed Bakugo and put him in position for the Last Ride Powerbomb, causing the crowd to explode before Bakugo started fighting back with several punches to the face. The crowd cheered as Zancrow pulled Bakugo away from the ladder, and attempted to hit the Last Ride Powerbomb, but Bakugo was able to counter the attempt into a Hurricanrana that sent Zancrow falling over the top rope.

"We're seeing some new things from Bakugo here tonight! I mean, it's not every day that he hits a Hurricanrana!" Striker exclaimed as Zancrow landed on all fours on the outside. Bakugo noticed that Zancrow was getting back up, so he ran the ropes, and hit a Suicide Dive through the middle rope and onto Zancrow, causing the crowd to boo as Zancrow's back landed against the announcers' table. Bakugo started giving the crowd another verbal tirade before he grabbed one of the monitors off of the announcers' table.

"What does Bakugo have planned now!? He has one of our monitors in his hands!" Kotoko exclaimed as Bakugo grabbed the cord from the monitor, and wrapped it around Zancrow's neck, beginning to strangle him with the cord. The crowd booed as Bakugo yelled in Zancrow's ear that his good luck streak was going to run out and that he wasn't going to leave the PPV with the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship. Zancrow, however, responded by fish-hooking Bakugo's mouth and throwing him over his head and onto his back. The crowd cheered as Zancrow took the wire off from around his neck, and began strangling Bakugo with it as he tried to get up.

"Turnabouts fair play, as Bakugo gets his turn at ligature strangulation!" Striker exclaimed as Bakugo tried to slip out of the cord, but Zancrow headbutted him a couple of times in the head to keep him at bay. Bakugo then started walking over to the steel steps and hit a Mule Kick to the groin of Zancrow. The crowd booed as Bakugo grabbed Zancrow by the hair, and rammed his face into the steel ring post, causing a small cut to open on the forehead of Zancrow. Bakugo noticed this and responded by hitting multiple punches to the cut of Zancrow before grabbing the monitor.

"Bakugo able to take Zancrow back down, and now he has the monitor back in his hands!" Bob exclaimed as Bakugo slammed the monitor into the side of Zancrow's head, sending him onto all fours. Bakugo continued his verbal tirade against the fans before continuing to ram the monitor into Zancrow's back, and while Zancrow is on all fours, Bakugo hit several kicks to Zancrow's chest. Bakugo then rolled back into the ring and went to get back on the ladder, but Bakugo noticed through his peripheral vision that Zancrow was already beginning to pull himself back on his feet.

"I'm surprised that Zancrow was able to get on his feet this soon after getting beaten with one of our monitors!" Kotoko exclaimed as Bakugo cursed before running at Zancrow, hitting him in the face with a Baseball Slide Dropkick. The crowd continued to boo as Bakugo grabbed Zancrow by the hair, and started punching him in the side of the head before throwing him back into the steel ring post face first. Bakugo then pushed Zancrow's face into the pole, causing more blood to pour out of his wound, and blood to pour out of Zancrow's nose.

"Zancrow's face is becoming a crimson mask due to these repeated attacks to the face!" Striker exclaimed as Bakugo grabbed Zancrow by the hair, and slammed the back and back of his head into the fan barricade several times. The crowd continued to boo as Bakugo started stomping a mudhole into Zancrow's chest, sending him sliding down from the fan barricade and back onto the floor. The crowd continued to boo as Bakugo flipped several fans in the front row the bird before stomping on Zancrow's right knee multiple times.

"Bakugo has been targeting so many parts of the body, which is a very smart move in a match that requires Zancrow to exert effort to climb a ladder," Kotoko explained as Bakugo picked Zancrow back up, and leaned him into one of the corners of the fan barricade. Bakugo hit Zancrow with several Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before backing away in front of the announcers' table. Bakugo then runs at Zancrow, attempting to hit him with a Running High Knee, but the crowd cheered as Zancrow picked himself up, and caught Bakugo in a Spinebuster position. The crowd cheered as Bakugo attempted to pull himself out of Zancrow's grasp, which didn't help as Zancrow turned around, and rammed Bakugo through the corner of the fan barricade, causing the crowd to cheer even louder.

"Zancrow sends Bakugo crashing through the fan barricade! But Zancrow's still down on the ground due to his hurt leg!" Striker exclaimed as Zancrow tried to slap some feeling back into his leg as he got back up on his feet. Zancrow started limping towards the ring, causing the crowd to cheer as Zancrow rolled into the ring from underneath the bottom rope. Zancrow then made his way to the ladder and grabbed one of the rungs of the ladder, Bakugo crawled back up to his feet, and rolled back into the ring. The crowd booed as Bakugo grabbed Zancrow's leg, and used his attire to pull himself back to his feet, but Zancrow responded with a hard punch to the gut.

"Bakugo is somehow still fighting, despite going through the fan barricade full force!" Kotoko exclaimed as Zancrow picked Bakugo up by the hair and continued hitting punches to Bakugo's gut and chest. The crowd continued to cheer as Zancrow pushed Bakugo back into the corner, and ran into the corner to hit Bakugo with a Running Clothesline. Zancrow then picked Bakugo up and dropped him onto the top turnbuckle face first with a Snake Eyes before running the ropes, and hitting a Big Boot to Bakugo's face.

"Zancrow leveling Bakugo with some vintage offense here!" Bob exclaimed as Zancrow ran the ropes, and attempted to hit Bakugo with a Running Leg Drop, but Bakugo was able to roll out of the way, causing the crowd to boo as Bakugo knocked Zancrow on his back with a boot to the face. The crowd continued to boo as Bakugo did the Ronnie Garvin Stomps onto Zancrow's legs, arms, chest, and head before running the ropes and attempting to hit Zancrow with a Jumping Stomp to the head. However, the crowd exploded as Zancrow sat up, glaring at Bakugo, which caused Bakugo to stop in his tracks and glared at Zancrow.

"Those were some hard stomps by Bakugo, but Zancrow is not going to let the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship out of his grasp!" Kotoko exclaimed as Zancrow grabbed Bakugo by the throat, causing the crowd to cheer as Zancrow picked Bakugo up, attempting to hit him with a Chokeslam. However, Bakugo raked Zancrow in the eye and kicked him in the gut before attempting to hit him with a Stunner. However, Zancrow grabbed the back of Bakugo's neck and attempted to lift him up for the Penalty (Reverse Chokeslam), but Bakugo hit a couple of headbutts to Zancrow's face to avoid the move.

"Bakugo and Zancrow exchanging counters right next to the ladder, which has the top prize of the Intensity brand in the air!" Striker exclaimed Bakugo attempted to put Zancrow in position for the AP Shot (Forward Russian Legsweep). However, Zancrow was able to counter with a Clothesline that sent Bakugo turning inside out, and the crowd cheered loudly as Zancrow threw Bakugo into the side of the ladder face first before hitting Bakugo with a Jumping DDT. Zancrow then threw Bakugo out of the ring before slapping his leg a few times and began climbing up the ladder.

"This is it! Zancrow has a clear path the BTWF—hey! What are Duncan, Dipper, and Marco doing out here!?" Bob asked as Duncan, Marco, and Dipper ran into the ring and started clubbing at Zancrow while he was climbing the ladder. Duncan ran the ropes, and hit Zancrow in the back with a Jumping Stinger Splash, allowing Dipper and Marco to pull Zancrow off of the ladder and stomp on his right leg and back.

"The NWO here as Bakugo's insurance policy, to make sure that he gets the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship back!" Kotoko exclaimed as Duncan dropped a couple of Elbow Drops onto Zancrow's chest before whispering something into Dipper and Marco's ears. They nodded before continuing the attack on Zancrow while Duncan rolled out of the ring, and went under of the ring to secure a couple of tables. The crowd booed as Duncan set up one of the tables on the outside before pushing the other table back into the ring.

"Duncan has some tables, looking to do some serious damage to the BTWF World Heavyweight Champion!" Striker exclaimed as Duncan told Marco to set up the table in the ring before he joined Dipper in punching and stomping Zancrow. As Marco was setting the table up, Zancrow was pulled up by Duncan and Dipper, but Zancrow was able to grab both of them by the throat. The crowd cheered as Zancrow lifted both Dipper and Duncan up for a Double Chokeslam, but Duncan was able to escape, resulting in only Dipper getting Chokeslammed. Marco noticed this and attempted to hit a Running Roundhouse Kick to Zancrow's chest, but Zancrow was able to catch him in the Last Ride position.

"Zancrow's fighting back, and he sees the table leaned in the corner!" Bob exclaimed as Zancrow sent Marco through the table with the Last Ride Powerbomb, causing the crowd to explode as Duncan, after putting a third table up on the side of the ring, ran back into the ring and Zancrow grabbed him by the throat again. However, Bakugo ran back into the ring and hit the back of Zancrow's right leg with a Chop Block. The crowd continued to boo as Bakugo grabbed two chairs from the corner of the ring, and handed one to Duncan.

"Bakugo is back in the match, and he seems to have a plan for Duncan!" Kotoko exclaimed as Bakugo and Duncan started hitting Zancrow's back with multiple chair shots before Bakugo dropped the chair and grabbed Zancrow's legs. The crowd booed as Bakugo told the fans that he was gonna break Zancrow's legs before wrapping Zancrow in the Indian Deathlock. The crowd continued to boo as Duncan grabbed the chair Bakugo dropped and put it underneath the back of Zancrow's head. The crowd booed as Duncan looked to be going for a Con-Chair-To onto Zancrow, but Zancrow saw this coming, grabbed Bakugo by the throat, and pulled him back, causing Bakugo's head to smash his head into the side of the steel chair Duncan had in his hand.

"And once again, Zancrow able to counter Bakugo's plan, sending the side of his head crashing into the side of the chair!" Striker exclaimed as Zancrow low-blowed Duncan, grabbed him by the throat, and hit him with a Chokeslam that sent him through the table that he had set up on the side of the ring. The crowd continued to cheer as Bakugo attempted to hit Zancrow in the face with a steel chair, but Zancrow punched it out of his hands and hit him with a Chokeslam. Zancrow then kicked Bakugo away before making his way back up the ladder, but the crowd booed as Dipper got back into the ring, and started clubbing Zancrow in the back once again.

"I have to give it to the NWO, they do not give up despite being slammed and put through furniture," Bob noted as Zancrow got back down from the ladder, and punched Dipper in the side of the head. The crowd cheered as Zancrow hit Dipper with a Penalty (Reverse Chokeslam), but rather than let him lay there, Zancrow picked Dipper back up and hit him with a Leaping Tombstone Piledriver. However, the crowd booed as Bakugo got back to his feet, and hit Zancrow with the AP Shot (Forward Russian Legsweep) that sent his face crashing into the side of the ladder.

"Bakugo with a creative version of the AP Shot into the ladder!" Kotoko exclaimed as Bakugo took Zancrow down with a Stunner. The crowd booed as Bakugo stomped Zancrow's leg a couple of times before beginning to climb up the ladder. Bakugo took a break from climbing to flip off the booing fans before continuing his climb, but Zancrow, still on the floor, put his feet underneath one of the rungs of the ladder, and used his feet to push the ladder up, causing the crowd to cheer as Bakugo fell off of the ladder.

"Speaking of creativity, Zancrow able to push the ladder over using only his legs!" Striker exclaimed as Bakugo glared at Zancrow's downed body, nearly frothing at the mouth as he ran over to Zancrow and started punching him in the face while he was down. Bakugo then started screaming at Zancrow to stay down before attempting to lock him in another Indian Deathlock, but Zancrow was able to reverse this into a Hell's Gate, causing the crowd to explode as Bakugo frantically tried to get out of the hold. Bakugo tried to pull himself back towards the ladder and tried to use the rungs to pull himself out of the hold.

"Zancrow has Bakugo trapped in the Hell's Gate! And Bakugo's fighting is only making things worse for him!" Kotoko exclaimed as Bakugo began to fade, and blood began spilling out of his mouth. Zancrow eventually let him go, getting back to his feet, picking Bakugo back up, and hitting Bakugo with a Jumping Tombstone Piledriver. Not satisfied yet, Zancrow picked Bakugo up by the throat, dragged him to the ropes, and hit Bakugo with a Chokeslam through the last remaining table on the outside.

"Zancrow using all the tables the NWO put out to give him an uninterrupted path to the championship!" Bob exclaimed as Zancrow started climbing up the rungs of the ladder. The crowd exploded as Zancrow made it to the top of the ladder, giving the crowd a slit-throat taunt before grabbing the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship from the holder.

*Bell Rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner and still the BTWF World Heavyweight Champion, Zancrow!" Tim Barr announced as Zancrow raised the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship belt over his head as Dipper just got back to his feet, looking shocked at what had happened. Zancrow began climbing down the ladder, getting back onto the ground with the crowd continuing to cheer and chant his name as Zancrow once again lifted the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship over his head.

"And after a hard-fought ladder match, Zancrow is still the BTWF World Heavyweight Champion!" Striker exclaimed as Dipper went over to the other members of the NWO, trying to help Marco and Duncan back up to their feet as Bakugo ran his hands through his short blonde hair while gritting his teeth in pain. Zancrow looked down at the fallen members of the NWO, and knelt down to one knee, lifting the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship up once again. Zancrow stuck his tongue out as the lights in the arena turned purple before black and purple fire shot out of the corners of the ring.

"Bakugo is certainly not going to be happy about this, especially since the numbers game was in his corner!" Kotoko exclaimed as Zancrow got back to his feet with the fire continuing to shoot out of the corners. Dipper got Marco and Duncan up before going over to help Bakugo up, who responded by pushing Dipper away and yelling at the three NWO members about his loss. When Dipper tried to take him to the back, Bakugo once again pushed him away and started yelling at Zancrow.

"Zancrow's reign continues in grand style, but he's going to have Bakugo in the back of his mind," Bob noted as Zancrow rolled his eyes to the back of his head before showing Bakugo the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship, making Bakugo even angrier. The camera panned to the backstage area as Duncan and Dipper were finally able to start pulling Bakugo away from the ring and Zancrow. The camera panned back to the backstage interview area, where Levy McGarden was standing next to Rally Vincent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the 'Second City Shooter' Rally Vincent, who got a huge victory over Juniper Lee here on Christmas Chaos. Rally, after this major victory, what do you have planned next?" Levy asked as Rally smiled and nodded before she responded.

"Well, there is only one thing that's been on my mind for the longest time, and that's getting some gold around my waist. See, since Luna's all wrapped up with Lucy, that means she needs a new challenger, and that challenger is going to be me," Rally explained before June came storming into the interview set, getting in front of Levy, and glaring at Rally.

"June Fact #85; I don't go down so easily," June said, jamming her finger into Rally's chest. Rally responded by slapping June's hand away and knocking her down with a punch. Rally then smirked at June as she crawled away before turning her attention back to Levy.

"And if I have to beat June again to get that championship shot, then that's what I'm going to do," Rally said before she walked away. Before Levy could take the camera back to the stage, Kohaku and Homura Momiji came walking up to her.

"Hey, Levy! Did you watch what we did to Lisa and Louise?" Kohaku asked. Levy looked at the two with a raised eyebrow before nodding.

"Yes, I did. Now that you bring it up, I was actually wondering-" Levy tried to ask before Homura interrupted her.

"Good. So, who shot the most spitballs at those two pricks?" Homura asked, with her and Kohaku looking at Levy with anticipation, causing the interviewer to raise an eyebrow.

"Uhhh…excuse me?" Levy asked.

"We need to know who shot the most spitballs at Lisa and Louise. I mean, it was obviously me, but Homura insists that we make sure," Kohaku explained in a joking manner, causing Homura to elbow Kohaku in the arm while smiling.

"I just need Kohaku here to realize that I clearly hit Lisa and Louise with more spitballs," Homura countered as Levy looked at the two wrestlers, shrugging in their direction, causing both women to sigh.

"Oh man, now what're we going to do?" Kohaku asked as a proverbial light bulb appeared on top of Homura's head.

"Let's go to the production truck, maybe they can help you see that I shot more spitballs at those two brats!" Homura exclaimed in excitement. Kohaku responded with a shocked gasp before nodding and following Homura out of the backstage interview room. Levy looked at the two women leave before shaking her head and sighing before taking a sip of a nearby bottle of water and the camera panned away.
