BTWF Intensity (January Week 3)

The camera panned to the Intensity General Manager's office where the GMs, Sunny Bridges, and Overhaul were standing with BTWF Cruiserweight Champion Kazuma Sato, who was accompanied by Megumin and Darkness as usual.

"So, are you ready for-?" Sunny attempted to ask before Kazuma looked down at the BTWF Cruiserweight Championship around his waist while Megumin and Darkness massaged his shoulders and arms in support.

"Ready for my well-deserved vacation? Absolutely. Me and my girls here are going to take a cruise around Hawaii, and we'll be back so that I can win the Battle Riot," Kazuma explained before turning to leave. However, Sunny quickly grabbed Kazuma by the sleeve of his shirt and turned him around before pointing to the wheel next to his desk.

"Actually Kazuma, I'm asking if you're ready for your BTWF Cruiserweight Championship defense," Sunny clarified, causing Kazuma to look at Sunny with a glare while his mouth was wide open. Megumin and Darkness looked annoyed as Kazuma slapped the top of Sunny's desk in annoyance.

"What do you mean 'championship defense'!? I defended it two weeks in a row already against two of the top Cruiserweights that aren't me! Why do I need to defend it against some other loser!?" Kazuma ranted on while tapping the BTWF Cruiserweight Championship harder than normal.

"Woah, calm down, Kazuma. Look, you are more than welcome to go on vacation next week, and you will still be in the Battle Riot, but this is a special episode of BTWF, and special episodes always have title defenses. And we're going to see what your defense is right now!" Sunny exclaimed as he spun the wheel, and after a moment of anticipation, the wheel landed on 'Combo Match'.

"What the hell does that mean? What is a 'Combo Match'?" Kazuma asked, still annoyed as he ran his hand through his hair.

"That means we have to spin the wheel two more times to come up with the actual stipulation of the match," Overhaul explained as he spun the wheel twice, and the wheel landed on 'Triple Threat' and 'Ladder' match, causing Kazuma to pinch the bridge of his nose in frustration as Darkness and Megumin tried to calm him down.

"Well, looks like you have a triple threat ladder match. We're going to find the two Cruiserweights you're going to face in a bit, so just go relax so you don't hurt yourself out there," Sunny said. Kazuma looked as though he was going to yell at Sunny, but he took a deep breath and turned around to leave the office with Megumin and Darkness following him. Overhaul gave a look that said 'Really?' as Sunny had to keep himself from laughing as the camera panned to the backstage interview area, where Melissa Shield was standing next to Katsuki Bakugo.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the leader of the NWO, Katsuki Bakugo, who last week suffered a surprising defeat at the hands of Kurt Bale. I wanted to ask you where your head's at," Melissa asked as Bakugo looked at her in an annoyed fashion before shaking his head and putting the microphone in front of his mouth.

"You know, I was about to tell you off for reminding me of that lucky fluke from last week, but then I realized something; it's the only time that Bale is ever going to beat me," Bakugo explained as Melissa raised her eyebrows while putting the microphone back in front of her mouth.

"So you're confident in your chances at the Battle Riot I'm assuming," Melissa responded as Bakugo nodded while pursing his lips, trying to keep himself from laughing.

"Wow…and here I thought you were just some idiot wearing glasses. Yeah, of course, I'm confident in my chances at the Battle Riot. I'm going to win the whole thing and get back MY BTWF World Heavyweight Championship at the grandest stage in all of the Fanfiction Wrestling Universe," Bakugo explained as Melissa nodded and took the microphone back.

"One other thing I wanted to get your thoughts on; how are you feeling about Jellal's chances in the main event going against BTWF Hardcore Champion Izuku Midoriya with the championship on the line?" Melissa asked as she looked a little freaked out as the smirk on Bakugo's face grew, almost rivaling the Grinch's smirk.

"Let me just say that we're going to have a new Hardcore Champion tonight, and more gold added to the NWO's ranks," Bakugo responded before patting Melissa on the shoulder and leaving the backstage interview area. The camera then panned to the stage, where 'Fresh' by Artist vs. Poet played, causing the crowd to boo as an annoyed-looking Kazuma came walking out with Megumin and Darkness following him.

"The following contest is a triple threat ladder match for the BTWF Cruiserweight Championship! Introducing the champion first, accompanied to the ring by Megumin and Darkness, from Tokyo Japan, he is the BTWF Cruiserweight Champion, Kazuma Sato!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued booing, causing Darkness and Megumin to start arguing with the fans, telling them to be quiet as Kazuma tried ignoring them, keeping his eyes on the ring.

"Welcome to BTWF Intensity ladies and gentlemen! From Buffalo New York, I'm Matt Striker along with my broadcast colleagues Kotoko Iwanaga and Bob Belcher! And guys, what other wrestling show do you know that starts off with a Ladder match with a title on the line!?" Striker asked as Kazuma glared at the referee that was telling Kazuma to give him the Cruiserweight Championship to him. Kazuma responded by taking the championship off from around his waist and sliding it into the ring from underneath the bottom rope. The referee caught it and put it on the hook while Kazuma was hugging Megumin and Darkness before he turned to the steel steps and ran up to the apron.

"Thanks for the wonderful intro, as usual, Striker, as honestly, I do not have an answer. We're opening up the Roulette episode of Intensity with a ladder match, and not many shows can say they do that," Kotoko responded as Kazuma jumped over the top rope, glaring as he looked up and saw his newly won BTWF Cruiserweight Championship being pulled up to the ceiling as he shook his head, sighed, and walked to the corner, waiting for whoever the GMs have planned to have him face. The crowd continued booing as 'the Miracle' Mike Bennett's theme song played, causing the crowd to boo as TJ came walking out of the back with a white robe on and a beaming smile on his face.

"And introducing the challengers first, from Little Rock Arkansas, he is 'the Guru' TJ Detweiler!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued booing while TJ told the camera that he had been blessed with this opportunity and that his victory would lead to the rest of the audience being blessed as well. The crowd continued booing as TJ, still with a large smile on his face, waved at the fans, telling them that there was no need to thank him for his impending sacrifice. Kazuma looked confused as TJ walked up to Megumin and Darkness, shaking their hands and telling them that they too will be blessed once he wins the championship.

"TJ is an interesting choice as a contender, but despite his lack of appearances on TV, TJ is a highly competent wrestler," Bob explained as TJ walked up the steel steps, and basked in the cheers that he thought he was receiving even though there were only boos coming from the crowd. Kazuma told the referee to hurry TJ up as the crowd continued booing while TJ jumped up to the top turnbuckle and went into the ring, walking up to Kazuma, and telling him if he was ready to bless the world. Kazuma slapped his hand away, telling him to back off.

"Kazuma doesn't seem to have time for any of TJ's antics, but now we wait for the third competitor," Striker explained as while TJ and Kazuma started arguing, Enzo Amore's 'SAWFT as a Sin' theme song played, causing the crowd to cheer loudly as Connie Springer came running out of the back with a smile on his face and a microphone in his hand. Connie moonwalked onto the center of the entranceway before looking on at the crowd and beginning his opening spiel.

"Ladies and gentlemen, that's right, do not adjust your TV sets, it's the hottest young Superstar in the BTWF today, Connie Springer!" Connie introduced himself as the crowd continued cheering while Kazuma kicked the bottom rope in frustration. TJ simply raised an eyebrow at Connie as he took a break from his spiel to give a few fans in the front row a hi-five.

"Now only a couple of minutes ago, I was thinking of which part of Floch's face to send my fist crashing through, but then Sunny comes up and asks me whether or not I want an opportunity for the BTWF Cruiserweight Championship. And you know what I said?" Connie asked, lifting the microphone up, allowing the crowd to yell out 'Yes!'

"That's right folks, pat yourselves on the back. Floch, I'm gonna kick your ass, but let's save that for after I become the BTWF Cruiserweight Champion, dethroning BTWF's #1 simp and the mental patient who had one too many drops of LSD!" Connie exclaimed, causing the crowd to cheer as he ran over to the ringside area and dropped the microphone. However, the crowd booed as Kazuma hit Connie in the face with a Running Dropkick, sending him crashing onto the floor. The referee rang the bell as Kazuma kicked TJ in the gut, and pushed him into the corner.

"Kazuma starting this match off before Connie could even get into the ring, which is a good strategy for a triple threat match, especially when ladders are involved!" Striker exclaimed as Kazuma stomped on TJ multiple times in the chest, telling him that the only blessing he was going to get was possibly not getting hurt. TJ hit several punches to Kazuma's face, but Kazuma put him back into the corner with multiple punches to the side of the head before choking him with his boot. Kazuma once again yelled at TJ that he was never going to win the BTWF Cruiserweight Championship.

"Kazuma's in a pissed-off mood tonight, and TJ's taking the brunt of it in the corner!" Kotoko exclaimed as Kazuma ran the ropes, and attempted to hit him with a Running Corner Clothesline, but the crowd cheered as Connie ran back into the ring from the middle ropes, and hit Kazuma with a Slingshot Stunner. The crowd continued cheering as Connie grabbed Kazuma by the hair, and threw him into the corner, sending his face bouncing off of the top turnbuckle. Connie then turned Kazuma around and started hitting him with multiple punches to the side of the head and the chest.

"Connie coming back into this match in explosive fashion, taking it to Kazuma in the corner!" Bob exclaimed as TJ attempted to hit Connie from behind, but Connie was able to dodge and sent TJ crashing into Kazuma in the corner with a Dropkick to the face. The crowd continued cheering as Connie ran the ropes and hit a Twisting Stinger Splash onto both TJ and Kazuma. Connie then took both TJ and Kazuma down with a Double Hurricanrana before hitting Kazuma in the back of the head with a Dropkick to the back of the head while he was in a seated position. Connie then smiled at his handiwork before sliding out of the ring, looking underneath it for a ladder.

"And Connie going for a ladder after taking both TJ and Kazuma out, but he has to hurry and try to get the title before they get back to their feet!" Kotoko exclaimed as Connie was able to find a large ladder, pushing it into the ring and telling the crowd that he was going to get that title. However, the crowd booed as TJ got back to his feet and hit a Baseball Slide onto the ladder, sending it crashing into Connie's chest. The crowd continued booing as TJ grabbed the ladder off of the ground and started setting it up in the middle of the ring. TJ, noticing that Connie was starting to try and get back into the ring already, ran and hit Connie with another Running Baseball Slide Dropkick to the face, sending him falling back onto the floor.

"And the Guru is back in the match, and has the ladder all to himself!" Bob exclaimed as TJ started climbing the ladder, but the crowd continued booing as Kazuma got back to his feet, and ran at TJ with a Running Polish Hammer to TJ's back, sending him falling off of the ladder. Kazuma caught him in a Headlock and started punching him in the top of the head from the Headlock position before throwing him into the ropes. TJ attempted to land on the apron, but Kazuma kicked TJ in the leg, sending him falling off of the apron, and sending his head bouncing off of the apron.

"Kazuma back, preventing the Guru from taking the championship away from him!" Bob exclaimed as Kazuma ran through the ropes and hit a Suicide Dive onto TJ, sending his back crashing into the fan barricade. However, while Kazuma was trash-talking with the fans, Connie was able to get back to his feet, run up the steel steps, and hit Kazuma in the back of the head with a Flying Clothesline. The crowd continued cheering and chanting Connie's name as he and Kazuma started brawling on the floor, with Kazuma winning this brawl by poking Connie in the eye, allowing him to push Connie off of him.

"Kazuma and Connie have some history, as Connie did defeat Kazuma in the first match of his BTWF career," Striker explained as Connie held his ailing eye as Kazuma started stomping on Connie's chest. However, Connie was able to catch one of those stomps, and much to the crowd's delight kipped back up to his feet and slapped Kazuma in the side of the face multiple times before pushing him into the steel ring apron back first. The crowd continued cheering as Connie hit multiple right-handed jabs to the side of Kazuma's head, but the crowd booed as TJ got back to his feet, and locked Connie in a Sleeper Hold from behind.

"Oh! And TJ is back in the match, trying to put Connie to sleep with a Sleeper Hold!" Kotoko exclaimed as Connie tried to hit TJ with Back Elbows to the side of the head, but TJ continued squeezing in the Sleeper Hold. TJ also started hitting Connie in the side of the head with multiple elbows to the top of Connie's head, sending him falling to one knee. After a minute in the hold, Kazuma started kicking Connie in the side of the head after he got back to his feet, but Connie pushed himself back, sending TJ's back once again crashing into the fan barricade. However, TJ continued his hold on Connie, and Kazuma responded by jumping up onto the apron and hitting a Running Diving Splash off of the apron, sending himself crashing into both Connie and TJ.

"Kazuma breaking TJ's Sleeper Hold, but also knocking both Connie and TJ out of commission!" Striker exclaimed as Kazuma grabbed TJ by the hair and threw him into the steel steps before stomping on Connie multiple times. The crowd continued booing as Kazuma slid back into the ring from underneath the bottom rope, and began making his way to the ladder. The crowd continued booing as Kazuma glared at the booing crowd before climbing up the ladder, slightly slowed due to his arm hurting from the Suicide Dive earlier.

"Kazuma making his way up the ladder, but that bad wing is definitely making the process harder than it needs to be," Bob explained as Kazuma made it halfway up the ladder before Connie got back to his feet and jumped back into the ring from underneath the bottom rope. Kazuma tried to quicken the pace of his climbing, but Connie was able to hit a Running Jumping Dropkick to the midsection, sending Kazuma falling off of the ladder. The crowd continued cheering as Connie hit Kazuma with several jabs to the side of the head before attempting to hit him with a kick to the gut. However, Kazuma grabbed Connie's leg, and swept Connie's leg out from under him, causing the back of his head to crash onto the canvas.

"And Kazuma sends Connie crashing onto the mat with the back of his head slamming hard on the mat!" Striker exclaimed as Kazuma stomped on Connie's chest several times before grabbing the top rope and using the top rope to jump up and hit several Jumping Knee Drops onto Connie's chest before choking him with his knee. The crowd continued booing as TJ, who had just gotten back to his feet, kicked Kazuma in the face from outside of the ring before getting on the apron, and hitting a Drive-By Kick to the side of Kazuma's head sending him falling away from the ropes.

"TJ coming back into this match in a big way with a Drive-By Kick right to Kazuma, unintentionally giving Connie some reprieve!" Kotoko exclaimed as TJ pushed Connie away from the ropes with his foot before springboarding back into the ring with a Tope Con Hilo onto Connie's chest. The crowd continued booing as TJ picked Connie up, and hit him with several European Uppercuts to the chin, and Connie attempted to fight back with multiple right and left-handed jabs to TJ's chest. TJ responded with a knee to the gut before hitting Connie with a Jumping Knee to the side of the head.

"What a knee by TJ! Connie has to be knocked into another time zone after that one!" Bob exclaimed as TJ threw Connie into the corner, and ran after him with a Running Corner Dropkick to Connie's face, but the crowd booed louder as Kazuma hit TJ with a Clothesline to the back of the head. The crowd continued booing as Kazuma grabbed TJ by the hair, and threw him into the side of the ladder that was still propped up in the middle of the ring, sending him falling onto his knees. The crowd continued booing as Kazuma grabbed TJ by the hair again, and hit him with multiple punches to the face before running the ropes and sending him down with a Running Forearm to the side of the head.

"Kazuma knocking TJ back down again, and with Connie down, this may be the best time to climb up the ladder," Kotoko explained as Kazuma noticed that Connie was still on the ground, and Kazuma hit Connie with a Running Face Wash to the side of the head while he was still seated in front of the bottom turnbuckle. Kazuma pushed Connie out of the ring with his foot before attempting to climb up the ladder, but TJ held onto his leg, attempting to pull him back down. Kazuma responded by stomping on the back of TJ's head multiple times until TJ let go of him.

"Kazuma with some vicious stomps to the back of TJ's head, I'd be surprised if TJ wasn't injured after that!" Striker exclaimed as Kazuma started climbing up the ladder, but TJ, while he was down on the ground, pushed the ladder over, sending Kazuma falling off the ladder and him falling onto the ropes. TJ pulled himself back up to his feet, put the ladder back in place, and then hit a Running Knee to Kazuma's sides, sending him falling out of the ring as well. TJ smiled at the booing fans before beginning his climb up the ladder.

"TJ's all alone in the ring! This could be his night! Can you imagine the party they'd have at the Palace of Wisdom, which is conveniently located in Little Rock Arkansas!" Bob exclaimed as TJ told the fans to keep their eyes focused on the greatness they were about to witness, but the crowd instead looked over to their left and cheered as Connie threw a chair at TJ's back. Connie then springboarded from the ropes into the ring, hitting TJ's back with a Springboard Missile Dropkick, sending TJ falling off of the ladder. The crowd continued cheering as Connie ran to the ropes, and springboarded off of the middle rope to hit TJ with a Corkscrew Moonsault.

"Connie showing off some insane flying moves in this match, which are always a benefit when it comes to ladder matches!" Kotoko exclaimed as Connie grabbed the ladder, attempting to start climbing, but Kazuma ran back into the ring and punched Connie in the back of the head several times to stun him. The crowd booed as Kazuma grabbed TJ, and threw him into the corner, sending TJ crashing into the steel ring post arm first. Kazuma then pushed TJ out of the ring, but when he turned back around, Connie hit Kazuma with a Rolling Stunner, sending him staggering into the corner.

"Connie with another Stunner from out of nowhere! I'm pretty sure Grayson Waller would be jealous of that one!" Bob exclaimed as Connie went into the corner and started punching Kazuma in the side of the head multiple times. Connie then hit several Shoulder Thrusts into the corner before backflipping away from the corner and running back into the corner with a Running Forearm to the face. Connie then picked Kazuma up, put him on his top turnbuckle, and started punching him in the side of the face before following him up to the top turnbuckle. However, Kazuma hit Connie in the throat with a punch, causing the crowd to boo as Kazuma pushed Connie off of the top rope, sending him falling onto the canvas back first.

"Ouch! That fall by Connie could've taken him out of the match! Connie's head also almost connected with the side of the ladder!" Striker exclaimed as Kazuma balanced himself back on the top rope, and after giving the crowd a double middle finger, dived off of the top rope to hit Connie with a Diving Elbow Drop to the chest. Kazuma then moved Connie so that he could grab the rungs of the ladder and start climbing up. Kazuma started breathing in and out as the match began taking his toll while he tried to continue climbing the ladder. Connie responded by sitting up and grabbing the bottom of Kazuma's tights, which Kazuma responded to by jumping off of the ladder to hit him with a Jumping Stomp to the chest.

"Kazuma once again taking Connie out by taking the breath out of him with a massive stomp from the ladder!" Bob exclaimed as while Kazuma was re-catching his breath, TJ rolled back into the ring and staggered to the ladder. The crowd continued booing as TJ began climbing the ladder, which caught Kazuma's attention as he too started climbing the ladder from the other side. When both men were able to get to the top of the ladder, TJ and Kazuma started exchanging punches and forearms to the side of the face, with Kazuma beginning to win as Kazuma punched TJ in the arm that hit the steel ring post.

"Kazuma and TJ are fighting on the top of the ladder! Who's going to fall first!?" Striker asked as Connie grabbed one of the rungs of the ladder to pull himself back to his feet. Kazuma was too focused on trying to punch TJ off of the ladder to notice, and this allowed Connie to push the ladder, sending TJ and Kazuma falling off of the ladder. TJ and Kazuma were able to land on their feet, and the crowd cheered as Connie hit multiple punches to both Kazuma and TJ's faces. Connie then jumped up and sent TJ down to a Frankensteiner before Kazuma attempted to hit him with a Back Suplex, which Connie countered by flipping out of it and hitting Kazuma with a Reverse DDT.

"Connie getting his second wind back, taking both the champion and the other challenger down with ease!" Bob exclaimed as Connie noticed TJ getting back to his feet, and hitting him with a Superkick before taking him back down with a Jumping Facebuster. Kazuma started staggering back to his feet, and Connie responded by hitting Kazuma with a Running Dropkick. Connie then dragged TJ closer to Kazuma as Connie jumped into the corner and onto the top rope, waiting for both men to get back to their feet. The crowd cheered as when both men got back to their feet, Connie dived off the top rope with an attempt at his finishing Diving DDT, but Kazuma was able to move out of the way, allowing TJ to be the only one to get hit with the Diving DDT.

"Connie sending TJ's head crashing down with the Diving DDT, but Kazuma was able to keep himself from getting hit with the move!" Bob exclaimed as Kazuma pushed Connie away before running up the ladder. However, Connie quickly got back to his feet and started climbing up the other side of the ladder. However, the crowd began booing as Floch Forster came running down the entranceway, slid into the ring from underneath the bottom rope, and while Connie was climbing up the ladder, Floch grabbed Connie's leg and pulled him down the ladder while Kazuma was still climbing.

"What the hell!? Floch is here, and he just pulled Connie off of the ladder!" Kotoko exclaimed as Floch then hit Connie with the Implant DDT. While Floch was yelling in Connie's ear, Kazuma pulled himself to the top of the ladder and grabbed his BTWF Cruiserweight Championship off of the holder, much to the crowd's chagrin.

*Bell Rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, and still the BTWF Cruiserweight Champion, Kazuma Sato!" Tony Chimel announced as Darkness and Megumin came into the ring to celebrate as Kazuma stayed up on the ladder briefly to catch his breath. Darkness grabbed both of Kazuma's legs, and pulled him down gently, helping Kazuma back to his feet. The crowd continued booing as Megumin and Darkness hugged a barely conscious Kazuma and helped him back to his feet. TJ rolled out of the ring and started pounding on the mat in frustration as he held his head in pain.

"Thanks to some timely interference from Floch, Kazuma was once again able to retain the BTWF Cruiserweight Championship!" Striker exclaimed as Floch grabbed Connie, and threw him out of the ring as he gave Kazuma a cocky smirk. Kazuma, still trying to regain his bearings, looked at Floch confused, but Floch simply gave Kazuma a light and mocking applause before leaving the ring. Kazuma sighed and shook his head before Megumin prevented him from dropping the BTWF Cruiserweight Championship and putting it around his waist.

"Kazuma seems confused that Connie was the only one to get attacked, but I doubt he cares since he was able to retain his championship. And it looks like Sunny has something to say about it," Kotoko pointed out as Sunny walked out of the back, causing the crowd to cheer as Kazuma glared at Sunny.

"Listen Kazuma, I just wanted to tell you that I want you to enjoy your vacation next week. That's because while you will still be in the Battle Riot, you're also going to be defending the BTWF Cruiserweight Championship against Crona Gorgon and Kuro Sakuragawa in a triple threat match at Legends Night," Sunny explained as Kazuma kicked the bottom rope in frustration as Connie started getting back to his feet and walking up the entranceway while holding his head. Before Sunny could go back to the office, Connie walked up to Sunny and glared at him, poking him in the chest with his pointer finger.

"Listen, boss, I know you're busy tonight, but I do not give a shit how you do it, but I want that asshole Floch in a ring next week," Connie breathlessly demanded, glaring a hole right through Sunny. Sunny put his hands up and nodded as Kazuma and his girls left the ring and started walking to the back.

"OK Connie, you got it. You're going to have a match with Floch next week, no questions asked," Sunny said. Connie nodded before walking off, telling the crowd that it was on next week. The camera then panned to the back while TJ mouthed off to the crowd for ruining the match with their negative energy directed at him. The camera panned to the office, where Overhaul was standing with Jiro Kyoka and Sue next to the wheel.

"Alright ladies, are you ready to decide the stipulation for your match coming up next?" Overhaul asked. Sue nodded while finishing wrapping her fist, but Jiro pulled out her guitar and started strumming a tune.

"Of course, I'm ready Mr. Overhaul, the Queen of Song Style will beat them all. No matter where the choice of the wheel goes, this whole building will Walk With Jiro," Jiro sang as Overhaul sighed in annoyance before spinning the wheel. After a moment of anticipation, the wheel landed on 'Symphony of Destruction' match, and when he saw that Sue and Jiro had raised eyebrows, Overhaul sighed again before beginning his explanation.

"Basically, this match is like a street fight, but you'll be able to use weapons that are musical instruments," Overhaul explained before Jiro smirked and patted Sue on the back.

"Well Sue, it looks like the outcome of this match is going to be obvious, so don't feel too bad when I defeat you. I can give you a front-row ticket to one of my upcoming concerts if it'll help ease the blow," Jiro said, sarcastically shaking her head in disappointment as Sue pushed Jiro's hand off of her and walked to the door.

"Don't worry about that. By the time I'm done with you, you won't be able to make it to your concerts," Sue explained before leaving the office. Jiro mumbled some curses before nodding at Overhaul and leaving the office as well. The camera then panned to the locker room, where BTWF Women's Champion 'Amazing' Luna Collins was stretching before she looked up and saw Kohaku and Homura Momiji walking up to her.

"Hey Luna, you got a minute?" Kohaku asked as Luna stopped stretching, and stood up straight while making sure that the BTWF Women's Championship belt was still sitting on the bench where she left it.

"Yeah, what's up?" Luna asked. Homura then stepped next to Kohaku and looked down at the BTWF Women's Championship. Homura sighed before looking back up at Luna, took another deep breath, and started talking.

"Listen, I know I said I wanted to have a Women's title match with you this week, but I talked with Overhaul, and we're going to have to reschedule for next week," Homura said, with Luna looking at the two with a raised eyebrow as she walked up to Homura and Kohaku.

"What do you mean? Are you injured or something?" Luna asked, unsure why Homura would want to reschedule a title match.

"Well, me and Kohaku wanted to see who had a better chance of winning, and having a stipulation added with this Roulette thing would make it unfair, you know? I want to make it as fair as possible to Kohaku, so that's why I wanted to have a normal match," Homura explained. Luna looked at Homura, and then back at Kohaku, and then back at her BTWF Women's Championship, and nodded.

"That's very respectable of you, Homura. Very well, next week we'll have our match," Luna said, holding her hand out for a handshake, which Homura accepted before Luna went back to stretching.

"Thanks for understanding, Luna. Now, Kohaku and I have to get to the Pizzeria nearby for our pizza eating contest!" Homura exclaimed as she and Kohaku ran out of the locker room, with Luna raising an eyebrow at the two before shaking her head with a small smile before continuing her stretches. The camera then panned back to the stage, which had a piano, a drum set, several random percussion instruments, and a couple of guitars, along with other instruments scattered around the ringside area. 'Immortals' by Fall Out Boy played, causing the crowd to cheer as Sue walked onto the stage, and cracked her knuckles as she walked around the stage, looking at the various instruments around the stage.

"The following contest is a Symphony of Destruction match scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, from Magnolia Fiore, she is Sue!" Tony Chimel announced as Sue picked up a guitar, a couple of drumsticks, and a couple of maracas before continuing her walk to the ring. Sue hi-fived fans in the front row as they continued to cheer her on as she made her way to the ring. Sue continued looking around the ringside area, including a table that was full of smaller percussion instruments such as triangles and tambourines.

"Sue and Jiro have plenty of unique weapon choices in this match, and Sue is looking to get a little familiar with the weapons around her," Striker explained as Sue walked up the steel steps, jumping over the top rope, and then climbing up the turnbuckles until she reached the top. Sue looked on at the cheering crowd before raising both of her fists in the air, also raising the guitar that she had in her hand. Sue then jumped down and told Jiro to come out here and take the ass-whooping that she had coming. Elias' 'Amen' song played, causing the crowd to boo as Jiro came walking out, simply glaring at Jiro with her guitar in her hands.

"And her opponent, from Musutafu Japan, she is 'the Queen of Song Style' Jiro Kyoka!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued booing as Jiro walked to the ring while Sue was waiting for her to get into the ring. Jiro told the fans that Sue wasn't going to mess up her music career and that she was going to put Sue back on the shelf. Jiro then looked on at the musical weapons around the ring and smirked as she walked to the steel steps.

"Jiro lost to Sue a couple of weeks ago on Intensity, and you have to believe that's stuck in Jiro's mind for the past couple of weeks," Striker explained as Jiro put her guitar on the top of the steel steps before sliding into the ring through the bottom rope, rolled to the middle of the ring, and got on her knees. The crowd continued booing as Jiro outstretched her arms, and told the fans to bask in her glory, and that they were never going to see a Superstar like her in the flesh for as long as they lived.

"That's probably the only thing other than herself that's on her mind," Kotoko countered as Jiro got back to her feet, and started trash-talking. The referee then told the timekeeper to ring the bell, causing the crowd to cheer as Sue immediately ran at Jiro, picked her up, and sent her crashing back first into the corner. The crowd continued cheering as Sue hit multiple punches to the chest and gut before grabbing the pair of drumsticks from her pants pocket and hitting Jiro in the chest multiple times with the drumsticks.

"And the instruments already coming into play as Sue sends the wooden drumsticks bouncing off of Jiro's chest!" Striker exclaimed. Jiro attempted to escape the ring, but Sue hit Jiro in the back with the drumsticks hard enough to break them, sending the top of one of the drumsticks to bounce off her back and outside of the ring. Sue then pulled Jiro back into the ring and away from the ropes before hitting her with multiple punches to the side of the face. The crowd continued cheering as Sue grabbed Jiro's arm, wrung it, and nearly turned her inside out with a Short-Arm Clothesline.

"Sue showing off her strength with a massive Short-Arm Clothesline that nearly sent Jiro twisting in a 360!" Bob exclaimed as Sue grabbed Jiro by the ears, and threw her into another corner. Sue then ran into the corner, hitting her with a Running Corner Clothesline. The crowd continued cheering as Sue hit several Standing Corner Clotheslines into the corner onto Jiro's throat and chest. However, when Sue was winding up for a last powerful Clothesline, Jiro was able to kick Sue's arm away before sending her on all fours with a Running Polish Hammer to the back.

"Jiro trying to get back into this match, sending Sue down, but the question is for how long?" Bob asked as Jiro grabbed one of the maracas that Sue had kept in her pants pocket, and attempted to hit her with one of the maracas. However, Sue was able to roll out of the way, kick Jiro in the gut, and then pull the maraca out of her hand. Sue then got back to her feet and hit Jiro in the gut with the maraca before hitting her in the back of the head with it. While Jiro staggered around the ring, Sue ran the ropes and hit Jiro with a Running Crossbody.

"Sue has been completely dominating Jiro since this match began, which has to be surprising given the stipulation of the match," Kotoko explained as Sue rolled out of the ring, looking under the ring for a weapon. Rather than finding a chair, Sue found a sitar, causing the crowd to cheer as Sue shrugged and rolled into the ring as Jiro was getting back to her feet, with the back of her neck bleeding from the shot with the maraca. Sue attempted to hit Jiro with the sitar, but Jiro was able to dodge and kick Sue in the gut, causing her to drop the sitar. The crowd booed as Jiro grabbed Sue's arm and started kicking her in the side of the head, but Sue was able to get back to her feet and push Jiro out of the ring and off of her arm.

"Sue once again showing her power advantage over BTWF's resident musician!" Bob exclaimed as Sue clapped in sync with the audience, kicked the sitar out of her way and out of the ring, and ran the ropes, attempting to hit Jiro with a Vaulting Crossbody Dive from over the top rope. However, Jiro was able to grab the sitar that Sue had kicked out of the ring and countered Sue mid-dive with a shot to the back and side with the sitar. The crowd booed as Sue fell to the ground, grabbing her right arm in pain, and Jiro smelled blood in the water before stomping on Sue's hurt right arm.

"Jiro with a massive sitar shot to the side and the arm of Sue, completely taking her out of the match!" Kotoko exclaimed as Jiro grabbed Sue by the hair and threw her into the steel steps, sending her right arm crashing into the side of the steel. The crowd continued booing as Jiro walked over to a downed Sue while singing about how Sue was going to be finished before pressing her foot against Sue's throat, sending the back of her head pushing into the side of the steel steps.

"Jiro's confidence has also risen to the roof as she's once again using the steel steps to her advantage!" Striker exclaimed as Jiro grabbed Sue, and threw her into the fan barricade, sending her head and the side of her midsection crashing into the fan barricade. Jiro once again sang about how Sue was finished before picking her up, and throwing her back into the ring, but grabbed her right arm. Jiro kicked the arm before smashing it against the steel ring apron, pushing Sue back into the ring before quickly going for the pin, hooking both of her legs back while pressing her elbow down against Sue's right arm.

Ref: 1…2

"Jiro continuing her focused attack on the arm, which is definitely the right thing to do when you have an opponent that has the power advantage like Sue does," Kotoko explained as Jiro grabbed Sue's arm, and stomped on the elbow and forearm several times before playfully kicking Sue in the face as she grits her teeth in pain. Jiro then rolled out of the ring, grabbing the strings from the broken sitar, and timpani drumsticks. The crowd continued booing as Jiro rolled back into the ring, and started kicking Sue in the back of the head as she tried to get back to a seated position. Jiro dropped her toys before running the ropes and hitting a Sliding Knee to the back before grabbing the strings of the sitar, and tying Sue's hands behind her back.

"And now Jiro trying to keep her advantage in this match by keeping Sue from using her hands and arms!" Striker exclaimed as Jiro smirked at her now prone opponents, slapping Sue in the back of the head before hitting Sue in the back with the timpani drumstick. Sue tried to roll away, but Jiro continued hitting Sue in the back with the timpani drumstick before throwing it onto her gut. Jiro outstretched her arms with a smirk, causing the crowd to boo louder as Jiro grabbed Sue's belt, taking it off of her pants.

"Now Jiro grabbing Sue's belt, which I guess means that she wants to take a break from using instruments," Bob explained as Jiro grabbed Sue by the hair, dragged her to the corner, and tied her already tied arms to the tag ropes on the turnbuckle. Jiro then took off Sue's shirt and started choking her with the cloth, causing the crowd to boo as she noticed that the tag rope was coming loose, and decided to re-tie Sue to the corner with her own shirt. Jiro then spun Sue's belt around as the crowd chanted 'You sick fuck!' at her before she began whipping Sue in the back with the belt. Sue screamed in pain as welts already began appearing on her back, and Jiro responded by continuing to whip her until Sue fell to her knees.

"Jiro whipping Sue like she was a government mule, and I have to wonder how this is going to increase album sales!" Kotoko wondered as Jiro started choking Sue with the belt, yelling at Sue that she was never going to get another win against her again. Jiro then dropped Sue's belt, ran the ropes, and hit Sue with a Running Knee Strike to the back of the head while she was still on her knees before hitting her with a Deadlift German Suplex. Jiro smirked as she noticed that Sue's hands were still tied together with the sitar strings and her own shirt before pinning her with both of her legs back.

Ref: 1…2

"Sue is able to get her right shoulder up, but she's still at a major disadvantage with her hands tied together!" Striker exclaimed as Jiro grabbed Sue by the back of her bra and pants, and threw her out of the ring. Jiro then walked onto the apron and waited for Sue to get back to her feet, and while Sue tried to untie her hands, Jiro ran off of the apron and hit Sue in the face with a Diving Knee Strike. Jiro then grabbed Sue by the hair and started dragging her up the entranceway, occasionally slamming her face into the fan barricade to keep her vulnerable.

"What does Jiro have planned now with a vulnerable Sue on the entranceway surrounded by even more weapons!?" Bob asked as Jiro threw Sue onto the stage, and then walked over to a piano. The crowd booed as Jiro opened the piano, and started playing a little song before walking back over to Sue, who got the crowd to cheer as she hit several headbutts to Jiro's gut. However, Jiro hit multiple knee strikes and kicks to the side of Sue's head before throwing her into the piano. Jiro grabbed the lid of the piano and attempted to slam it down onto Sue's back, but Sue was barely able to roll out of the way, but before Sue could get a break, Jiro grabbed Sue and threw her into the LED minitron face first.

"Jiro just has an answer for everything that Sue tries to do, trying to tell us all that her one victory for Sue was a complete fluke," Kotoko explained as Jiro grabbed Sue, and attempted to lock her in the Silencer (Kirifuda Clutch). However, Sue was able to hit Jiro in the face with multiple headbutts, sending her staggering back before Sue, while her hands were still tied, nailed Jiro in the side of the head with a Superkick, sending her falling down. Sue then grabbed onto her shirt with her teeth, and the crowd cheered as Sue was finally able to pull the shirt and the strings off of her hand, finally freeing her hands.

"And Sue is finally free from her makeshift shackles as she goes right back on the attack!" Striker exclaimed as Sue ran down at Jiro, and started punching her in the side of the face before grabbing her by the ears. Sue then slammed Jiro's face into the keys of the piano multiple times with enough force to send the keys flying off of the piano. The crowd continued cheering as Sue grabbed Jiro by her hair, and slammed Jiro's head into the snare drum portion of the drum set. Sue then slammed Jiro's head into the snare drum multiple times until Jiro's face went through the skin of the snare drum.

"Jiro is sent through the drum! Sue making up for lost times with these instrumental attacks!" Kotoko exclaimed as Sue threw Jiro down the entranceway, sending her rolling all the way to the ringside area. Jiro held her head in pain, and with the drum still on her head, started begging Sue to go easy on her, as she has a concert coming up. Sue punched Jiro in the side of the head multiple times before pulling the drum off of Jiro, hitting her in the back with the drum. The crowd continued cheering as Sue picked Jiro up, and wiped the miniature percussion instruments off of the table.

"Sue looks like she's going to finish Jiro off here!" Bob exclaimed as Sue attempted to lift Jiro up and through the table, but Jiro was able to grab the other maraca she had gotten earlier out of her pocket, and hit Sue in the head with the maraca hard enough for it to break. Sue let go of Jiro while dazed, and Jiro responded by grabbing Sue, putting her in a Powerbomb position of her own, and hitting Sue with a Sound Off (Gutwrench Powerbomb) through the table, causing the crowd to boo as Jiro quickly throws Sue back into the ring, and pins Sue with her feet on the ropes.

Ref: 1…2..

Sue barely lifted her shoulder up, and Jiro responded by grabbing Sue's right arm and locking her in a Cross Armbreaker.

"And Jiro has the Cross Armbreaker locked on! We've seen all the success that Lucy Heartfilia had with this submission, so let's see if Jiro can have the same success!" Striker exclaimed as Sue started powering herself to the ropes, but the referee started telling her that ropebreaks won't help. However, Sue used the rope to start pulling herself back up, causing the crowd to cheer as Jiro attempted to keep Sue down with multiple elbow strikes to the shoulder, but Sue continued getting back to her feet and hit Jiro with a One-Armed Sit-Out Powerbomb before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2..

"Jiro barely rolling her shoulder off of the mat, but Sue's arm looks like it's in too much pain to capitalize!" Kotoko exclaimed as Sue pulled herself back to her feet with her good arm as she backed away into the corner, preparing for the Spear. When Jiro got back to her feet, Sue ran at her for the Spear, but Jiro kicked Sue right in the right shoulder and knocked her down with an Enziguri. Jiro then walked to the corner, grabbing her guitar off of the steel steps, and much to the crowd's chagrin blasted Sue in the back with the guitar. The guitar didn't break, so Jiro hit Sue in the back again, which did break the guitar in the half. But Jiro wasn't done yet, as Jiro grabbed one of the strings from her guitar, and started choking Sue with it.

"Jiro pushing those hard steel strings into the throat of Sue! Sue could get cut with those strings!" Bob exclaimed as Sue tried to fight out of it, but Jiro quickly locked her back in the Silencer (Kirifuda Clutch), pushing the steel guitar strings even more into Sue's throat. The crowd booed as Sue started fading quickly, and when the referee checked the arm, it fell as Sue finally lost consciousness, causing the referee to end the match.

*Bell Rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner as a result of a technical knockout, 'the Queen of Song Style' Jiro Kyoka!" Tony Chimel announced as Jiro rolled out of the ring. Jiro ran her hands through her purple hair, smirking at the booing crowd as she walked over to Tony Chimel, and demanded that he give her the microphone. Tony gave her the microphone and Jiro pushed him away before walking over to the ringside area and started mocking the booing fans as the referee and a medical trainer were checking on Sue, who was still unconscious.

"Once again, Sue let all of you down. Her mouth pooling with so much blood, you think she drowned. There's no need for all of you to feel so low. All you have to do is Walk With Jiro!" Jiro sang before throwing the microphone on the ground as she continued celebrating her victory. The crowd continued booing as Jiro cupped her hand over her ear, and told the booing fans that they just didn't know real talent. Sue started coming to as the referee tried to help her back to her feet, and Jiro chuckled as Sue started coughing up blood.

"Jiro getting the big win here and finishes off with a song. Could we be looking at Luna's opponent for the Battle Riot?" Striker asked as Jiro walked up to one of the acoustic guitars that weren't broken, and started playing a tune on the guitar as Sue almost fell back down but the medical trainer had helped her stay on her feet. Jiro once again chuckled before continuing to play on the guitar.

"Well let's not count our chickens before they hatch, Matt. Our GMs still haven't come up with an official decision as to who Luna's going to be facing," Bob responded as the crowd started cheering as Rally Vincent came out of the back, telling Jiro to get to the back and that nobody wanted to hear her play. Jiro rolled her eyes as she put her guitar down before getting back to her feet, telling Rally OK. Rally looked suspicious as Jiro grabbed the guitar and attempted to hit Rally in the back with it, but Rally was able to jump over the attempted guitar shot, causing the crowd to cheer as she knocked Jiro down with a kick to the head.

"And Rally's had enough of Jiro's nonsense, knocking her down with a hard high head kick!" Kotoko exclaimed as Rally walked over to the ring as Jiro got on all fours, glaring at Rally's disappearing frame while holding the side of her head. The camera panned to the back as Rally helped Sue roll out of the ring and walk up the entranceway. The camera panned to the backstage area, where Tom Phillips was standing next to Edward Elric, who was viciously punching a punching bag in the locker room.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the #1 contender for the BTWF International Championship, Edward Elric, who appears to be letting off some steam since he isn't allowed within 50 ft of the BTWF International Champion, Gaara," Tom explained before Elric stopped punching the punching bag and walked over to Tom. Elric glared at Tom but took a couple of deep breaths before nodding and pulling the microphone closer to his mouth.

"Yep. Since that coward got that restraining order, I've been stressed out and had a lot of pent-up energy and rage. Honestly, this is the third punching bag I've gone through today," Elric explained as Tom backed away slightly, scared that he might be the next victim of Elric's fury before he continued punching the bag.

"Well that gives me a good idea of how you're feeling, but I'm wondering whether or not you may be playing into Gaara's game," Tom said as Elric once again stopped punching the bag, and looked right at Tom with a confused look on his face.

"Yeah, I know Gaara's trying to make me lose my cool on him because he knows that an angry fighter is a sloppy fighter. I'll figure something out, Tom, but for right now, I'd like to be alone," Elric said before kicking his punching bag hard enough for the punching bag to fall off of the chain it was on. Tom took the hint and left as Elric started stomping on the downed punching bag before the camera panned to a commercial break.

*Commercial Break*

*Commercial Over*

The camera then panned back to the GM's office where Sunny and Overhaul were standing next to Onslaught, who was accompanied by the rest of the Conglomerate (Lucy Heartfilia, Tohru Kobayashi, and Liz & Patty Thompson), and Lance Scaper, who looked at the Conglomerate with a glare.

"OK Onslaught and Lance, are you two ready to determine your match stipulation?" Sunny asked. Lance and Onslaught nodded, with Lucy whispering something into Onslaught's ear while Sunny spun the wheel. After a moment, the wheel landed on 'Blindfold Match', much to the confusion of Onslaught and Lance.

"Well guys, it looks like you're going to be competing in a Blindfold Match. You two better get ready, because it's going to be a doozy," Sunny explained as Lance sighed and shook his head with a laugh before walking out. Lucy stopped whispering into Onslaught's ear and walked over to Sunny.

"You know, since the entire Conglomerate is here, we might as well get the stipulation for Tohru's match with Yang too," Lucy said. Sunny raised an eyebrow, but Overhaul nodded and spun the wheel. After another moment, the wheel landed on 'Lumberjill Match', causing Lucy to smirk as she whispered something into Tohru, Liz, and Patty's ears, and they nodded in response.

"Well, it looks like Tohru and Yang are going to have a Lumberjill Match. Anything to add before you guys get ready?" Overhaul asked before Lucy shook her head as she patted Onslaught and Tohru on the back.

"Only that we're going to make a VERY convincing argument to Yang on why she should join the Conglomerate," Lucy said cryptically before she and the rest of the Conglomerate walked out of the office before the camera panned to the stage. Drew McIntyre's 2009 'Seeing Red' played, causing the crowd to cheer as Lance came running out of the back, with an apprehensive smile on his face as he looked at the camera on the stage.

"The following contest is a Blindfold match scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, from Tom's River New Jersey, he is Lance Scaper!" Tony Chimel announced as Lance joked with the fans at home that he wasn't sure how this was going to go, but he looked forward to beating Onslaught without even seeing him. The crowd continued cheering as Lance ran down the entrance ramp while hi-fiving fans that were in the front row, looking excited at finally getting his hands on Onslaught.

"Onslaught and Lance have exchanged victories with each other over the past couple of months, and Lance has made it clear that he wants to finally show Onslaught that he's the better man!" Striker exclaimed as Lance jumped onto the top of the steel steps, yelling at the crowd to get on their feet, causing the crowd to continue their cheering as Lance jumped onto the top turnbuckle, and pointed to the sky before jumping off of the top rope and onto the center of the mat. Lance then started shadow-boxing as he told the crowd that Onslaught was going down.

"Lance seems really confident here, but when he's surrounded by nothing but darkness, his confidence may not stay for long," Kotoko explained as 'Don't Stop' by InnerPartySystem played, causing the crowd to boo loudly as a white limousine came out of the back, and stopped once it parked next to the entranceway. The driver got out of the limo, walked to the back of the limo, and opened the door. The crowd booed louder as Onslaught came out with Liz and Patty accompanying him.

"And his opponent, accompanied by and representing the Conglomerate, from Tom's River New Jersey, Onslaught!" Tony Chimel announced as Onslaught yelled at the booing crowd, telling them that he was going to break Lance in half. Patty and Liz patted Onslaught on his back, repeating that he was going to destroy Lance, but Lance responded by laughing as Onslaught continued marching to the ring, The crowd booed and chanted 'Shave your back!' at Onslaught, who plugged his ears in response as Lance encouraged and join in on the chants.

"Onslaught looks ready for a fight, but where are Lucy and Tohru? Usually, they would accompany their Conglomerate comrades to the ring," Striker explained as Onslaught walked up to the apron, and over the ropes before walking to the center of the ring. The referee handed both Lance and Onslaught blindfolds, which Lance immediately puts on as Onslaught looks over the blindfold, hesitant to actually put it on. The referee told Onslaught that if he doesn't put the blindfold on soon, he will lose the match by forfeit. Once Onslaught grumbled some curses and put the blindfold back on, the referee told the timekeeper to ring the bell, and Lance hit Onslaught with multiple Knife-Edge Chops to the chest, to which Onslaught responded by pushing Lance into the corner.

"And Onslaught already overpowering Lance, using his sense of touch to throw Lance into the corner!" Kotoko exclaimed as Onslaught started punching Lance in the gut multiple times before backing away and shooting both of his fists up in the air, causing the crowd to boo while he roared. The crowd then began chanting 'Shave your back!' again as Onslaught went into the corner, and started ranting at Lance, but Lance had rolled out of the corner while Onslaught was talking. The crowd cheered and laughed as Onslaught continued talking to the empty corner, pointing at the top turnbuckle while telling "Lance" that he was going to destroy him. Onslaught backed away and attempted to hit a Running Body Avalanche in the corner, but Onslaught's head just bounced off of the top turnbuckle.

"Onslaught, finding out first-hand, how important sight is when it comes to wrestling!" Bob exclaimed as Lance ran at Onslaught, and hit him in the side of the head with a Dropkick, sending him falling into the ropes. The crowd continued cheering as Onslaught got tied up in the ropes, with Patty and Liz telling the referee to free him, but Lance responded by hitting Onslaught in the face with multiple forearm shots to the side of the head. The referee pulled him back, telling him that he'll be disqualified if he kept it up. Lance reluctantly backed off and tried to untie Onslaught, and while the referee was distracted, Patty got onto the apron and raked Lance in the eyes after slinking her hands into the bag over his head.

"And Patty, digging her nails into the eye sockets of Lance while the referee wasn't looking!" Striker exclaimed as once Onslaught was freed, he noticed Lance screaming in pain, and used his sense of hearing to run at Lance and hit him in the face with a Big Boot to the face before going for a pin.

Ref: 1…

"Onslaught tried to find a leg to hook, but Lance was able to kick out at one since Onslaught didn't put his full weight into the pin," Kotoko explained as Onslaught got back to his feet and stomped on the gut of Lance repeatedly before hitting him with an Elbow Drop. The crowd booed as Onslaught told the crowd to shut up before Lance rolled into the corner, and tried using the ropes to get back to her feet. Onslaught walked forward slowly with his hand out, but instead of finding Lance, he grabbed the referee by the ear and attempted to lift him up for the Chokeslam, but the referee yelled at Onslaught and patted him on the shoulder, telling him to let him down.

"Onslaught's about to Chokeslam the referee! Hopefully, Onslaught can realize the mistake he's about to make!" Bob exclaimed as Onslaught felt his chest, and once he felt the referee's shirt, put the referee down on his feet. Lance, hearing Onslaught apologizing to the referee, hit a Jumping Knee to Onslaught's face before falling down for a pin.

Ref: 1…2

"Lance almost got the shocking win with that surprising knee to the face!" Bob exclaimed in shock as Lance felt around Onslaught, finally feeling Onslaught's ears before picking him up. Lance attempted to hit Onslaught with the Weed Wacker (Scorpion Death Drop), but Onslaught headbutted Lance in the face a couple of times before turning him around and attempting to hit him with a Chokeslam. However, Lance was able to jump behind his back, hit Onslaught with a Bell Clap to the sides of Onslaught's ears, and hit him with the Weed Wacker (Scorpion Death Drop) before going for the pin, much to the crowd's delight.

Ref: 1…2…3

*Bell Rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Lance Scaper!" Tony Chimel announced as Lance took the blindfold off of his head, and puts it in his crotch. The crowd continued cheering as Lance jumped up onto the top rope, and raised his fist up while rubbing it in Patty and Liz's face before jumping back down, taking the blindfold out of his crotch, and stuffing it in Onslaught's mouth. The crowd then began booing as Tohru and Lucy came out, yelling at Lance that he had just gotten lucky.

"A quick and decisive victory for Lance here, but you have to wonder what would've happened if they both didn't have blindfolds on," Kotoko wondered out loud as Onslaught took the blindfold out of his mouth and off of his face while Lance was arguing with both Lucy and Tohru. However, while Lance was arguing, Onslaught got back to his feet, turned Lance around, grabbed Lance by the throat, and hit him with a massive Chokeslam. The crowd booed as Onslaught shot both of his fists up, and roared as Patty and Liz rolled into the ring, stomping on Lance before kicking him out of the ring.

"And Onslaught sent Lance crashing down to the ground with a vicious Chokeslam, telling Lance that maybe things aren't over just yet," Bob explained as Lucy patted Onslaught on the back before telling the referee and Tony Chimel that they want the Lumberjill match started right now. The referee talked with the backstage crew through his earpiece and nodded at her as the Lumberjills started coming out of the back, with Lucy telling Tohru to get into the ring as she led Onslaught out of the ring.

"The following contest is a Lumberjill match scheduled for one fall! Already in the ring, accompanied by and representing the Conglomerate, now residing in West Palm Beach, Florida, Tohru Kobayashi!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued booing as Tohru shot her fist up in the air, and smirked at the booing crowd as Lucy applauded her from the outside. Tohru looked at Lucy and gave her a small wink before 'You Only Live Once' by Suicide Silence played, causing the crowd to explode into cheers as Yang came running out with her arms outstretched, looking on at the cheering crowd as the rest of Team RWBY came out with her. Yang and Ruby hugged each other, before fist-bumping Blake and Weiss, and making their way to the ring.

"And her opponent, accompanied to the ring by and representing Team RWBY, from the Island of Patch in Vale Remnant, Yang Xiao Long!" Tony Chimel announced as Yang looked on at Tohru, glaring at her before giving several fans in the front row hi-fives. Lucy rolled back into the ring, putting her arm around the back of Tohru's neck, causing Yang to go back to glaring at the ring, with Lucy telling Yang that she knows she'll get through to her tonight.

"Lucy has been surprisingly confident tonight, so you have to wonder what she has planned with this Lumberjill match," Bob explained as Yang made it to the ringside area, and gave fist-bumps to Ruby, Weiss, and Blake before jumping onto the ring apron. Lucy backed away and encouraged Tohru to do the same before Yang jumped over the top rope and walked over to Lucy and Tohru. As Yang walked to the corner, multiple women from the back came out, which included Louise Belcher, Lisa Simpson, Maka Albarn, Winry Rockbell, Kohaku, Homura Momiji, and Brandish Myu, who surrounded the ring along with Lucy, Patty, Liz, and the rest of Team RWBY.

"As the Lumberjills surround the ring, Yang hasn't taken her eyes off of Tohru and Lucy, knowing that they may have something up their sleeve," Striker explained as Yang jumped down, and looked at all the Lumberjills surrounding the ring before the referee made sure both her and Tohru were ready. The referee told the timekeeper to ring the bell once he was sure that Tohru and Yang were ready, and Tohru immediately locked up with Yang, attempting to push her into the corner. However, Yang was able to counter this by throwing Tohru into the corner, causing the crowd to cheer as Yang flexed one of her arms and told Tohru to try again.

"Yang starting this match off by overpowering the power of the Conglomerate!" Bob exclaimed as Tohru once again attempted to lock up with Yang, but Yang once again pushed Tohru back into the corner. The crowd continued cheering as Yang invited Tohru to try again, but instead of trying to lock her up, Tohru kicked Yang in the gut. The crowd booed as Tohru kicked Yang in the gut again, and punched her several times in the head before Irish whipping Yang into the ropes. However, when Tohru attempted to hit Yang with a Bicycle Kick, Yang was able to duck out of the way, run the ropes, and hit Tohru with a Jumping Shoulder Tackle.

"Yang sending Tohru down with a Jumping Shoulder Tackle, showing that she's not going to be backing down from the Dragon!" Kotoko exclaimed as Yang picked Tohru up and hit her with several punches to the side of the face before throwing her into the ropes. Before Tohru could bounce off of the ropes, Yang Clotheslined her over the top rope and onto the floor. However, the Conglomerate and the bad side of the Lumberjills not only kept Tohru safe but also kept Team RWBY and the good side of the Lumberjills away from her. Yang raised an eyebrow before Tohru came sliding back into the ring, and kneed Yang in the gut before throwing her into the corner. Tohru ran the ropes and attempted to hit Yang with a Running Corner Clothesline, but Yang was able to hit a Jumping Kick to the side of Tohru's head, jump up to the middle rope, and hit Tohru with a Diving Middle Rope Clothesline before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…

"That was odd. Normally the Lumberjills are supposed to throw the opponents back into the ring, but they didn't touch Tohru," Kotoko pointed out as Yang ran the ropes and hit a Jumping Senton onto Tohru's chest. Yang then put Tohru in a seated position and then ran the ropes to hit a Kneeling Clothesline to Tohru's chest and neck. The crowd continued cheering as Lucy just waved at Yang before Yang ran the ropes again and hit Tohru with a Jumping Leg Drop across the throat. Yang then kipped back up to her feet, causing the crowd to cheer louder as Yang picked Tohru up, and put her in a Front Facelock, hitting Tohru in the back of the neck multiple times with elbow strikes.

"Maybe that was because this was too early in the match for Tohru to not be able to get back into the ring herself," Bob countered as Yang attempted to lift Tohru up for a Vertical Suplex, but Tohru was able to keep her feet on the ground. The crowd booed as Tohru clubbed Yang in the back and attempted to hit Yang with a Vertical Suplex herself, but Yang was able to keep her feet on the ground as well and hit Tohru with a couple of Back Elbows to the side of her head before taking Tohru down with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex. The crowd cheered again as Yang jumped up and hit Tohru with a Falling Headbutt to the chest before going for a pin, hooking both of her legs back.

Ref: 1…2

"Tohru kicking out just after the referee slapped his hand down for a '2'!" Striker exclaimed as Yang picked Tohru up and attempted to throw her out of the ring again. However, Tohru was able to grab the top rope and keep herself on the apron. Yang attempted to run at her with a Shoulder Tackle, but Tohru dodged, sending Yang over the top rope, but she also landed on the apron. The crowd cheered and booed accordingly as Yang and Tohru started exchanging punches with each other on the apron with Tohru seemingly winning this, but Yang was able to knock Tohru down onto the floor with a headbutt to the face.

"What a headbutt to the face! Tohru just came flying off of the apron as Yang tries to keep herself balanced on the apron!" Kotoko exclaimed as once again, the heel Lumberjills kept the face Lumberjills away from Tohru and the heel Lumberjills didn't touch Tohru at all, letting her get back to her feet. Yang looked on incredulously as Yang backed away before running off of the apron, and hitting Tohru with a Running Crossbody, sending her falling down to the mat. However, the second she got back to her feet, Louise, Lisa, and Brandish started clubbing and attacking Yang while Lucy, Onslaught, Patty, and Liz blocked off the rest of the Lumberjills from interfering in the beatdown.

"And now the Lumberjills want to do something once Yang is outside and in control!" Kotoko exclaimed as Tohru got back to her feet, noticed that Yang was fighting back against Louise and Lisa, and hit her with a Savate Kick to the back of the head. The crowd continued booing as Tohru threw Yang into the side of the steel steps before stomping on her chest and sides while Lucy was applauding. Tohru grabbed Yang again, threw her into the side of the steel steps again, and started choking Yang with her foot.

"Well, now Tohru is taking control, throwing Yang into the steel steps twice!" Bob exclaimed as Tohru grabbed Yang and threw her back into the ring. The crowd continued booing as Tohru glared at the crowd while Lucy cheered on her stable-mate before Tohru rolled into the ring and began stomping on Yang's chest and head again before running the ropes and hitting a Jumping Splash onto Yang's chest. The crowd booed as Tohru jumped back up to her feet and hit another Jumping Splash onto Yang's chest and midsection before going for the pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.

Ref: 1…2

"Tohru taking the air out of Yang's lungs with two high-impact splashes!" Striker exclaimed as Tohru picked Yang up by the hair, and started hitting her with multiple Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before running the ropes and hitting Yang with a Jumping Body Avalanche. However, Tohru slapped Yang in the face, pushing her back into the corner, running the ropes, and hitting Yang in the side of the face with a Running Forearm to the side of the head. Tohru then started punching Yang in the side of the head until Yang fell to her knees.

"Tohru amping up the aggression here, giving a Meng super-combo to Yang, sending her on her knees!" Bob exclaimed as Tohru ran the ropes and hit Yang in the side of the head with a Running Knee Strike before going for the pin, once again hooking both of Yang's legs.

Ref: 1…2.

Tohru looked shocked as Yang kicked out, and Lucy told Tohru to get back into it, and Tohru responded by grabbing Yang by the hair and punching Yang in the face, digging her knuckles into Yang's nose. The crowd continued booing as Tohru picked Yang up by the ears, and hit her with a headbutt to the face before throwing her into the ropes. When Yang rebounded, Tohru hit Yang with a Snap Powerslam, but Tohru kept Yang in her grip before picking her up and hitting her with a Fallaway Slam, sending Yang's legs and sides crashing into the ropes.

"Tohru with some unbelievable strength, throwing Yang into the ropes like she was nothing but a doll!" Striker exclaimed as Tohru rolled onto her stomach, smirking at Yang holding her leg in pain before grabbing Yang's arm and leg, dragging her away from the ropes before hitting her with a Jumping Elbow Drop to the chest. Lucy applauded Tohru as she grabbed Yang by the hair, and started punching her in the side of the face before knocking her back down with a Spinning Back Elbow before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2.

"Tohru showing that she's more than just a powerhouse, as she's displayed her athleticism and her striking ability as she continues beating down Yang," Striker noted as Tohru grabbed Yang's leg, and hit a Jumping Leg Drop across Yang's leg. The crowd continued booing as Tohru walked over to the ropes, draped Yang's leg over the middle rope, told Ruby to watch what was about to happen, and then Tohru hit a Running Dropkick to Yang's knee before rolling out of the ring and started pulling Yang's leg over the rope, causing her to yell in pain. Ruby attempted to throw Tohru back into the ring, but Patty and Liz blocked Ruby's way so that Tohru could get back into the ring.

"Louise, Lisa, and Brandish are helping Onslaught stop the other Lumberjills from stopping Liz and Patty from helping Tohru!" Kotoko exclaimed as Tohru walked onto the apron, jumped over the top rope and onto the middle turnbuckle, and hit Yang with a Diving Middle Rope Leg Drop across the throat before grabbing Yang's leg, and pulling it back with a Stump Puller. The crowd continued booing as Tohru continued pulling on Yang's leg, with Lucy on the outside telling Yang that she should really consider her offer to join the Conglomerate. Yang responded by punching Tohru in the back to try and break out of the Stump Puller, but Tohru responded by dropping several elbows down onto Yang's knee before putting her back in the Stump Puller.

"Tohru continuing to target the leg while Lucy is yelling at Yang from the outside, giving Yang attacks both mentally and physically!" Striker exclaimed as Tohru continued pulling on Yang's leg with the Stump Puller, which Yang refused to tap out to. After another minute, Yang started punching Tohru in the back and the leg, causing the crowd to cheer as Yang finally pushed Tohru away from her. However, before Yang could get back to her feet, Tohru ran up to Yang and hit her with a Snap DDT before going for another pinfall, much to the crowd's chagrin as she held both of Yang's legs back.

Ref: 1…2..

"Yang barely kicking out of that vicious DDT, and Tohru looks furious that she didn't win there!" Bob exclaimed as Tohru stomped on the side of Yang's knee several times before going back on the middle turnbuckle. Tohru started trash-talking Team RWBY again before jumping off the middle rope with an attempted Diving Headbutt. However, Yang responded by lifting her good leg up, causing Tohru's jaw to crash right into Yang's foot. While Tohru was dazed, Yang grabbed the middle rope, pulling herself back up to her feet as Yang hit several punches to the side of Tohru's head, but Tohru responded with a massive Knee Strike to the chest.

"Tohru taking back control possibly with a massive knee to the chest!" Bob exclaimed as Tohru ran the ropes, attempting to hit her with a Running Bicycle Kick, but Yang was able to catch Tohru in mid-air, sending Tohru's throat falling into the top rope with a Stun Gun. The crowd continued cheering as Yang knocked Tohru out of the ring with a Clothesline to the back of the head before falling back onto the floor with her leg briefly giving out. While on the outside, Lucy attempted to help her out, but the crowd cheered as Blake jumped onto Onslaught's shoulders, and dived off of him with a Flying Clothesline, hitting Lucy with it, and mounting her with punches.

"And Blake taking it to Lucy on the outside, saving her girlfriend from Tohru coming back into the ring too early!" Bob exclaimed as Ruby slid underneath Onslaught's legs before hitting Tohru with multiple forearms to the face. The crowd continued cheering as before Liz and Patty could run up to her, Ruby threw a dazed Tohru back into the ring. Ruby then started brawling with Liz and Patty, which Weiss eventually helped out with the brawl, Yang immediately sent Tohru crashing to the crowd with a Catch Powerslam before going for a pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

"Yang finally getting back into the match and how she was able to hit that move with a damaged leg is beyond me!" Striker exclaimed as Yang got into the corner to wiggle her leg so that she could get the blood flowing back into it. When Tohru got up holding her back, the crowd cheered as Yang took a deep breath before running the ropes and hitting Tohru with two Polish Hammers, a Running Clothesline, a Spinebuster, and then ran the ropes again to hit a Twisting Leg Drop across Tohru's neck. Meanwhile, outside of the ring, the rest of the Lumberjills started brawling as Lucy was able to jam her finger into Blake's eye before throwing her into the fan barricade.

"Lucy taking out Blake on the outside, who has not been confirmed to be Yang's girlfriend, Bob!" Kotoko exclaimed as back in the ring, Yang grabbed Tohru and hit her with multiple forearms to the side of the head before throwing Tohru into the corner, and hitting her with a Running Big Boot into the corner. The crowd continued cheering as Yang lifted Tohru up for the Burst of Embers (Big Ending), despite her right leg trembling from the weight of carrying Tohru over her shoulders. However, while the referee was distracted by Brandish and Maka fighting near the ropes, Lucy hit a Running Chop Block from the outside onto Yang, sending her falling down and releasing Tohru.

"Lucy taking Yang down by targeting the leg that Tohru's been damaging! This could be the turning point for Tohru!" Bob exclaimed as Tohru picked Yang up in a Fireman's Carry, and much to the crowd's chagrin hit Yang with the Dragon Driver (Twisting Samoan Driver) before going for the pin, hooking both of her legs back.

*Bell Rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, representing the Conglomerate, Tohru Kobayashi!" Tony Chimel announced as Lucy rolled into the ring, and pushed the referee away before raising Tohru's arm in victory. Outside of the ring, Patty, Liz, Brandish, Louise, and Lisa kept Maka, Winry, Kohaku, and Momiji at bay with a massive brawl while Onslaught threw Ruby and Weiss over the fan barricade and into the timekeeper's area along with Blake. This allowed Lucy to stomp on Yang's right leg as Tohru held her down.

"I don't know why Lucy's doing this, but this can't be good for her goal of getting Yang to become a part of the Conglomerate!" Striker exclaimed as Lucy grabbed Yang's leg, and locked her in the Lock and Key, but instead of an Armbreaker, Lucy targeted the leg. The crowd continued booing as Yang started screaming in pain as Lucy continued stretching her leg as Tohru stomped on Yang's face and chest before Blake jumped over the fan barricade and attempted to pounce at Lucy, but Lucy let go and rolled out of the ring.

"And Blake coming to the rescue of Yang, preventing something much worse from happening to her!" Kotoko exclaimed as Blake tried to help Yang up. Lucy walked over to Tony Chimel and took the microphone from him. Lucy then told Onslaught, Liz, Patty, and Brandish to come back with her as she walked away from the ring. Ruby and Weiss joined Blake and Yang in the ring, with Ruby asking Yang if she was OK.

"Yang, while you're in the ring with that burning pain in your leg, and the fact you can't put any weight on that leg without shooting unbearable pain throughout your body, I want you to think about this bring your future. If you don't become a member of the Conglomerate like I've offered, you're going to be our enemy, and the attack I and Tohru perpetrated on you was just an example of how much of a living hell you're life is going to be if you continue to reject my offer," Lucy explained as the crowd booed and chanted 'Lucy's a Bitch!' and 'Lucy Fucks Onslaught!' Lucy responded to these chants with a chuckle while Patty tried to cover her ears from the insulting chance.

"So Yang, here's what I'm going to do. Next week, I want an answer as to whether or not you'll join the Conglomerate. And tonight was a reminder that you should pick the right answer. I tried to be civil about this, Yang, but you and your little family bullshit have forced me to take a much more physical approach with my offer. See you next week, Yang, and bring the whole Team RWBY down, because they're going to love the news," Lucy explained before dropping the microphone and waving goodbye at Yang and the rest of Team RWBY before making her way back to the locker rooms with the Conglomerate as Yang continued to struggle to stand. The camera panned to the backstage area as security tried to separate the Lumberjills on the outside as Yang looked back at Team RWBY with annoyance on her face. The camera panned to Scott Stanford standing next to the Vaudevillians (Miyuki Shirogane and Akira Tsubaki).

"Ladies and gentlemen, we haven't seen these two in a while, but the Vaudevillians have asked for some time to talk right now," Scott said as he put the microphone under Miyuki's mouth.

"That's correct, Scott. As gentlemen, myself and Akira do not want to cause a ruckus by constantly complaining about not getting any television time. However, a gentleman also knows when enough is enough. And Scott, enough is enough," Miyuki explained as Akira moved the microphone underneath his mouth while nodding in agreement.

"Scott, we're looking for an opportunity. A real gentleman only needs one opportunity to prove everyone wrong, and that's why we want to challenge anyone in the back here to a fight," Akira explained. Scott took the microphone back before looking to his side and noticing that #1 contender Gourry came walking up to them, looking impressed.

"Akira and Miyuki, was it? I'm impressed by your moxie. Not everyone likes to challenge a random person to a fight. So, I would be more than happy to take you up on your challenge," Gourry explained as he held his hand out for a handshake. Akira and Miyuki shook his hand and nodded at him after sharing a quick glance at each other.

"That sounds delightful, Gourry. Fighting a legend like you in a tag team match would be an honor. We'll even give you a week to find a partner," Akira said as Gourry nodded while attempting to pull his hand, but Miyuki kept his hand firmly gripped on Gourry's, causing Scott to move away, sensing things were going to go south.

"But before you go, can you tell your partner one thing for us?" Miyuki asked. Gourry, with a raised eyebrow, nodded before Miyuki leveled him with a punch. Miyuki and Akira then took turns stomping Gourry down before grabbing him and throwing him into the chain-link fence behind the interview set. Akira then picked Gourry up, and hit him with Snake Eyes into the nearby wall, busting him open before Miyuki knocked him out with a Yakuza Kick. As security and medical personnel came, Miyuki and Akira backed off with smirks on their faces before giving the camera next to them a bow before leaving as the camera panned to a commercial break.

*Commercial Break*

*Commercial Over*

The camera panned to the GM's office, where The Nation of Domination 2.0 (Kilik Rung, Vincent LeSalle, Cleveland Brown Jr., and Huey Freeman), Boze, Shane, and Rolf were standing next to the wheel.

"OK guys, are you all ready to find out the stipulation for your 6-man tag rematch?" Overhaul asked as Huey nodded before walking over to Boze and Shane.

"You two are going to regret not just taking your lumps and accepting my message of equality in the Nation. You two couldn't take a few slaps to the back of the head and a couple of insults so you had to find some random loser to help you fight your way out of the Nation. Well let me tell you two something; it's going to take a lot more than fighting us to make me kick you out of the Nation," Huey ranted at Boze, poking him in the chest. Boze responded by pushing Huey's finger away from him and grabbing him by the throat.

"Well don't worry, because we're not going to stop until we end the Nation," Boze said before throwing Huey away and spinning the wheel. After a moment, the wheel landed on the 'Street Fight', causing Rolf and Shane to hi-five each other as Cleveland picked Huey back to his feet as Kilik chuckled at the result while Vince was looking at him in confusion.

"This is gonna be fun," was all Kilik said before he walked out of the ring with the rest of the Nation of Domination 2.0. The camera then panned to a cemetery where a man with a black robe and long black hair was walking through the cemetery. When this man came to a giant catacomb, he turned around as the lights attached to the top of the catacomb's door turned on, revealing the man to be Mard Geer.

"I can feel it. Can't you? Can't you feel the misery emanating from inside of the tomb? When you open your mind, you can sense everything around you. Even when these people are no longer with us, you can sense their emotions, their past, and what could've happened in their future," Mard explained as he stroked the door to the catacomb. Mard Geer continued smiling and observing the stone of the catacomb before grabbing the doorknob of the catacomb.

"When I appear on BTWF Evolve, I will be able to show all of you just how powerful I am. And if you open your ears and listen to me, maybe you'll see how powerful you can be as well," Mard finished before opening the catacomb and walking in there. Before the camera could look at what was in the catacomb, the camera panned back to the stage, where 'Straight Out the Gate' by Tech N9ne (feat. Serj Tankian). The crowd booed as Huey came out first, leading Kilik, Vincent, and Cleveland Jr. out.

"The following contest is a 6-man tag team Street Fight scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, accompanied to the ring by Huey Freeman, they are the team of 'the Crown Jewel' Kilik Rung, Vincent LeSalle, and Cleveland Brown Jr., the Nation of Domination 2.0!" Tony Chimel announced. The crowd continued booing as Kilik smirked at the booing crowd, and told the camera that the Nation was going to get another win, not paying much attention to Huey going over the game plan for this upcoming match.

"The Nation of Domination 2.0 are still having issues with official members Boze and Shane, who appear to be trying to annoy Huey to the point that he kicks them out. And what better way to annoy a leader than fighting back against their orders and abuse?" Striker asked as Huey gave the last bits of his instructions while Kilik continued trash-talking the fans and the camera. Before Huey could sign off, Kilik slid underneath the bottom rope and kipped back up to his feet.

"Kilik also seems to be ignoring Huey's orders, but he's also fighting on Huey's side so I guess Huey doesn't care as much as he does with Boze and Shane," Kotoko responded as Huey sighed while pinching his nose in annoyance, and told Cleveland Jr. and Vincent to get into the ring. Vincent and Cleveland Jr. nodded before walking up the steel steps with their right fists raised as they walked through the ropes and into the ring. Kilik looked at his teammates in the ring and hi-fived them, jumping up to the top turnbuckle and raising his right fist as well.

"Well regardless, the Nation looks ready for a fight, and I'm sure Boze, Rolf, and Shane are going to be more than happy to oblige!" Bob exclaimed as Otis' 'Blue Collar Solid' theme song played as Rolf, Boze, and Shane came out of the back. Rolf looked on at the cheering crowd, and ripped off his shirt, throwing his town shirt into the crowd. Boze and Shane, on the other hand, didn't take their eyes off of the Nation of Domination 2.0 before Rolf tapped them both on the shoulders, and told them to walk to the ring with him.

"And their opponents, the team of Rolf, Boze, and Shane!" Tony Chimel announced as rather than walk to the ring, Boze and Shane ran to the ring, with Rolf shrugging to the crowd before running after them. The Nation got ready for a fight, and the crowd exploded into cheers as Boze, Rolf, and Shane started brawling with Cleveland Jr., Vincent, and Kilik. Rolf pushed Cleveland Jr. into the corner and started clubbing him in the side of the face as the referee told the timekeeper to ring the bell and start the match. Vincent and Shane started exchanging punches and forearms in the middle of the ring while Boze Clotheslined Kilik out of the ring.

"Boze and Shane wanted to get this match started early, and they got their wish!" Bob exclaimed as Vincent attempted to knock Shane down with a Superkick, but Shane was able to duck out of the way and knock Vincent down with a straight Dropkick to the face. In the corner, Cleveland Jr. hit Rolf in the side of the face with a Headbutt and attempted to throw him into the corner himself, but Rolf was able to counter with several headbutts of his own. The crowd continued cheering as Rolf started hitting multiple punches to the side of Cleveland's face, and Shane kicked Cleveland Jr. in the back of the leg, allowing Rolf to knock Cleveland Jr. with a Savate kick, causing the crowd to cheer.

"Rolf and Shane working together to take the big man of the Nation of Domination 2.0 down!" Striker exclaimed as Rolf picked Shane up in a Fireman's Carry, and dropped Shane down with a Flapjack, allowing Shane to crash into Cleveland Jr's chest before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…

Cleveland Jr. pushed Shane off of him, allowing Vincent to grab Shane by the tights, and throw him into another corner. The crowd began booing as Vince started punching Shane in the gut before running the ropes, and attempting to hit him with a Jumping Corner Clothesline, Shane lifted his boot up, sending the side of Vincent's face crashing into his boot. Shane then springboarded off of the middle turnbuckle and hit Vincent with a Springboard Crossbody, causing the crowd to cheer. Meanwhile, outside of the ring, Kilik and Boze were trading punches by the ring apron.

"Action in and out of the ring just showing the hatred these six men have for each other!" Kotoko exclaimed as Boze kneed Kilik in the gut a couple of times before throwing him face first onto the top of the barricade. The crowd continued cheering as Boze hit Knife-Edge Chops and punches to the side of his face. Meanwhile, in the ring, Shane hit a Rolling Thunder Neckbreaker onto Vincent from the corner before hitting him with a Standing Moonsault, going for another pin.

Ref: 1…2

"Vincent kicking out there, but we haven't seen the worst that these six athletes can do!" Bob exclaimed and warned as Cleveland Jr. grabbed Shane by the throat, attempting to hit him with a Chokeslam, but Rolf ran and clubbed Cleveland Jr. in the back, but Cleveland Jr. sent Rolf staggering back into the corner with a Back Elbow to the side of the head. Cleveland Jr. then attempted to throw Shane back into the corner, but the crowd cheered as Shane was able to jump on the top rope, turn around, and hit Cleveland Jr. with a Springboard Missile Dropkick, dazing Cleveland Jr. enough for Rolf to take him down with a Standing Clothesline.

"Rolf and Shane are working pretty well as a team here, taking out Cleveland Jr. once again!" Striker exclaimed as Shane ran the ropes, and springboarded off of the middle rope to hit Cleveland Jr. with a Springboard Moonsault before Rolf ran the ropes and hit Cleveland Jr. with a Jumping Running Splash to the chest. Meanwhile, outside of the ring, Boze attempted to throw Kilik into the steel steps, but Kilik was able to counter the Irish whip, sending Boze crashing into the steel steps hard enough for the steps to fall apart. The crowd booed as Kilik went under the ring and grabbed a steel chair from underneath the ring.

"Kilik just took Boze out with the steel steps while Vincent is finally starting to get up in the corner!" Bob exclaimed as Vincent grabbed Shane by the hair and started clubbing him in the back of the neck before throwing him out onto the apron. Outside the ring, Kilik continued pulling out weapons, such as kendo sticks, trash cans, and even a table while Rolf was stomping on Cleveland Jr. Vincent ran the ropes, and attempted to hit Shane with an in the ring to out of the ring apron Powerbomb, but Shane was able to counter this with a Hurricanrana. However, before Shane could celebrate, Kilik threw one of the trash cans he got right to the side of Shane's face, causing the crowd to boo louder.

"Kilik completely turned this match around with some weapons! Kilik just sent a trash can crashing into Shane's face!" Striker exclaimed as Kilik continued the attack by hitting a still downed Boze with the trash can after taking it back from near Shane's body. The crowd continued booing as Kilik hit Shane a few more times in the head with the trash can before throwing it into the ring. Vincent then grabbed Shane, who started bleeding from the side of the head and started punching the wound, causing more blood to start dripping out of the wound. In the ring, Rolf attempted to grab the trash can, but Cleveland Jr. hit a low blow onto Rolf, sending him falling onto all fours.

"The Nation is now completely in control as Cleveland takes Rolf down with a shot to the family jewels!" Kotoko exclaimed as Huey and Kilik threw the weapons into the ring. Cleveland Jr. grabbed one of the kendo sticks and started hitting Rolf in the back multiple times, causing some welts to already form on his back. Rolf attempted to block one of the kendo stick shots, but Cleveland Jr. immediately responded with a headbutt to the chest and a Belly to Belly Suplex before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

"That was a nice Belly to Belly Suplex there, but it isn't going to be enough to keep Rolf down!" Bob exclaimed as Vincent rolled back into the ring and joined Cleveland Jr. in stomping on Rolf. Vincent ran the ropes and allowed Cleveland Jr. to hit him with a Back Body Drop so that he could fall on Rolf with a Senton. Vincent then mounted Rolf and started punching him in the face as Huey applauded the two from the outside while Kilik stomped on Boze's sides before throwing him into the fan barricade.

"Kilik doing the right thing, and making sure that Boze and Shane stay on the outside and leave Cleveland Jr. and Vincent alone with Rolf!" Kotoko exclaimed as Vincent pulled Rolf back to his feet by the hair, and threw him into Cleveland Jr., who responded by hitting Rolf with a Jumping Crossbody before Vincent grabbed the kendo stick that Cleveland Jr. had dropped. Cleveland Jr. picked Rolf up, holding his arms behind his back, allowing Vincent to hit Rolf in the face with the kendo stick several times, causing Rolf to also start bleeding. Vincent then started hitting Rolf in the exposed chest and midsection with the Kendo Stick before Cleveland Jr. hit Rolf with a Back Suplex.

"Rolf is going to be bruised and scarred all over with all these kendo stick shots!" Bob exclaimed as Vincent ran the ropes, and jumped over Cleveland Jr's shoulders to hit a Twisting Leg Drop from his shoulders before going for the pin on Rolf, hooking both of his legs back.

Ref: 1…2..

Rolf barely rolled his shoulders off of the mat, and the crowd cheered as Shane tried to get back onto the ring, but Vincent was able to push him back out with a Running Baseball Slide Dropkick, sending him back outside. Kilik continued the attack by picking Shane up in a Fireman's Carry and throwing him into the steel ring post, sending his midsection crashing into the steel. The crowd continued booing as Vincent ran the ropes and springboarded off of the 2nd rope to hit a Springboard Back Elbow Drop to the chest.

"Vincent showing off his own brand of athleticism by taking down Rolf with some fantastic Springboard moves!" Striker exclaimed as Vincent went into the corner, letting Cleveland Jr. grab a steel chair, and hit Rolf in the chest with the chair. Boze once again attempted to come back into the ring, but Cleveland Jr. smashed the steel chair right into Boze's face, sending him falling out of the ring. When Boze fell out of the ring, Huey stomped on his gut multiple times before Kilik grabbed Boze, and hit him with multiple punches to the side of the head before back in the ring, Vincent attempted to pick Rolf up, but Rolf started hitting Vincent with multiple back elbows to the side of the head.

"Rolf trying to fight back here, but you can see the pain from the kendo stick wounds etched on his face!" Kotoko exclaimed as Rolf attempted to hit Vincent with a German Suplex, but Vincent was able to land on his feet, and hit a Running Dropkick to Rolf's back, sending Rolf falling into the arms of Cleveland Jr., hitting Rolf with a Sit-Out Spinebuster before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

Outside of the ring, Kilik and Huey were setting up a table on the outside, but the crowd continued booing as Cleveland Jr. ran the ropes and hit Rolf with a Jumping Elbow Drop to the chest, sending Rolf sitting up. Vincent responded by running the ropes and hitting Rolf with a Sliding Forearm to the face before grabbing the steel chair and started choking Rolf with the chair, pressing the top of the chair into Rolf's throat. The crowd continued booing as Cleveland Jr. knocked Shane off of the apron and back onto the floor.

"The strategy of the Nation of Domination 2.0 is working like a charm so far, as Boze and Shane are being kept to the outside!" Striker exclaimed as Vincent pushed Rolf on his stomach with his foot before hitting him with a steel chair multiple times before putting the chair on Rolf's back. The crowd continued booing as Vincent went up to the top rope, causing the crowd to boo as he attempted to hit the Froggy Elbow. However, the crowd cheered as Boze was able to quickly jump up onto the apron before Huey or Kilik could get to him, and kick Vince in the side of the face, sending him falling off of the top rope and through the table on the outside, causing the crowd to explode into cheers.

"Where the hell did Boze come from!? He just sent Vincent crashing through a table on the outside!" Bob exclaimed as Cleveland Jr. noticed, and attempted to run at him with a Clothesline. However, Boze was able to respond with a kick to the side of Cleveland Jr's head before jumping up to the top rope. The crowd continued cheering as Boze dived off of the top rope and hit Cleveland Jr. in the face with a Missile Dropkick, but before Kilik could do anything, Shane ran into the ring, and then dived over the top rope with a Vaulting Crossbody, taking both Shane and Huey down.

"Boze and Shane finally turning this match in their favor, giving Rolf a much-deserved break!" Kotoko exclaimed as Shane grabbed a couple of trash can lids, and started hitting Kilik and Huey in the back and sides multiple times as Boze noticed Cleveland Jr. on his knees, and responded by hitting him with a Float Over DDT and going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

Boze grabbed Cleveland Jr. by the hair, putting him on his knees before hitting him with multiple Knife-Edge Chops before running the ropes, and hitting him with a Running Big Boot to the side of the head. Rolf rolled onto the apron as the crowd continued to cheer while Boze grabbed the steel chair and when Cleveland Jr. started getting back to his feet, Boze hit him in the back, the sides, and the arms with the steel chair, and when Cleveland Jr. attempted to hit a Standing Clothesline onto Boze, the crowd exploded into cheers as Boze put the chair in front of Cleveland Jr's face, and nailed him with a Booker T style Side Kick, sending the chair crashing into Cleveland Jr's face.

"Boze using that chair to great effect, sending Cleveland Jr. down on his back!" Striker exclaimed as Boze roared with the chair over his head, causing the crowd to cheer even louder as Boze slammed the chair into Cleveland Jr's face before going up to the top rope. The crowd continued cheering as Boze balanced himself on the top rope, and hit Cleveland Jr. with the Harlem Hangover, sending the chair once again crashing into Cleveland Jr's face. Outside of the ring, Kilik was able to get Shane away from him with a low blow before rolling into the ring, and hitting a downed Kilik with a Running Forearm to the side of the head.

"Kilik with a hard Sliding Forearm to the side of the head! He just put a complete stop to Boze's onslaught!" Kotoko exclaimed as Kilik picked Boze up, and attempted to hit him with the Wasteland, but Boze was able to elbow him in the side of the head several times. Kilik, however, was able to keep a grip on Boze, but Rolf finally got back to his feet, and hit the Urban Spike (Samoan Spike) onto Kilik, sending him falling down before he went for the pin.

The crowd cheered as Shane looked as though he was going to punch Huey in the face, but when Huey looked at a bloody Cleveland Jr. getting up and kicked Shane in the balls. The crowd booed as Cleveland Jr. grabbed Shane by the throat, allowing Huey to yell at him, telling him that the Nation would be waiting for him even with his back mangled and broken. Shane responded with a punch to the side of the face, causing the crowd to cheer as Huey fell down on his back.

"Shane is still able to punch Huey in the face despite being choked out!" Bob exclaimed as Kilik got back to his feet, hitting Rolf in the face with a Big Boot. Cleveland Jr. threw Shane at Kilik, who hit Shane in the back of the head with a Discus Forearm while Shane was mid-air. The crowd booed as Kilik pinned Shane with both of his legs pulled back, and before Boze could do anything, Cleveland Jr. hit him in the face with the Kendo Stick still in the ring.

*Bell Rings*

"Here are your winners, the team of 'the Crown Jewel' Kilik Rung, Vincent LeSalle, and Cleveland Brown Jr., the Nation of Domination 2,0!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued their jeers while Cleveland Jr. helped Vincent back to his feet. Meanwhile, Kilik kipped back up to his feet, and jumped in front of Cleveland Jr. and Vincent, raising his right fist up in the air. While Kilik was telling the crowd how great he was, Cleveland Jr. pulled Kilik back, allowing Huey enough room to get back to his feet.

"The Nation 2.0 are able to get their win back from weeks ago, but I don't think they broke Boze and Shane's newly found spirits!" Striker exclaimed as Huey got back to his feet, smirking at his group with a bloody nose. Huey looked at the downed bodies of Boze, Shane, and Rolf, and Huey then turned to Cleveland Jr., telling him to pick Shane up as Huey grabbed Boze's belt, took it off, and told Cleveland Jr. to put Shane in position.

"Well, if their spirits aren't broken now, Huey's not going to give up on trying to break them," Bob noted as the crowd booed louder as Huey started whipping a bleeding Shane, telling him that he was making a big mistake trying to get out of the Nation 2.0. However, the crowd began cheering again as Boze got back to his feet and knocked Huey down with a Spin Kick. The crowd continued cheering as Boze pushed Rolf out of the ring, and dragged a downed and bruised Shane out of the ring.

"Boze saving his friend from more humiliation and bruises from the Nation 2,0, but you have to know that this bad blood hasn't dissipated at all!" Kotoko exclaimed as Boze started yelling at the Nation while trying to hold Shane up as Rolf grabbed the ring apron, and picked himself up. Huey glared at Boze and told them that this wasn't over by a long shot and that they were still under contract to the Nation of Domination 2.0. The camera then panned back to the GM's office, where Juniper Lee was standing with Overhaul and Sunny.

"OK Juniper, are you ready for your match stipulation to be revealed?" Overhaul asked as Juniper nodded, handing both him and Sunny her 'June Fact' pamphlets.

"June Fact #66; I'm always ready," Juniper said with confidence. Sunny and Overhaul looked at each other before putting their pamphlets on their desks and spinning the wheel. After a moment, the wheel landed on 'Interpromotional Match', confusing Juniper as Sunny nodded.

"Alright Juniper looks like you're going to face a wrestler from a completely different company," Sunny explained as Juniper raised her eyebrows as she looked around the office, waiting for someone to come out.

"It's not anyone from the CWF, is it? I've beaten all of the women they have there," Juniper responded as Sunny shook his head.

"Well, you didn't beat all of them, but that doesn't matter now. No, it'll be someone from another company, and you'll see who it is once your match starts in a few minutes," Sunny explained. Juniper shrugged her shoulders as she walked out of the office with her usual confident swagger as the camera panned to the backstage interview area, where Scott Stanford was standing next to BTWF Hardcore Champion Izuku Midoriya.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the BTWF Hardcore Champion, who is going to defend his championship in the main event of this program. Now, are you worried about what potential match you're going to be having with Jellal, especially when you don't know what type of match the wheel will select for you?" Scott asked. Midoriya shook his head while looking at the BTWF Hardcore Championship hanging over his right shoulder.

"I wouldn't be the Hardcore Champion if I was worried about the type of match I'm having. I won this in one of the most violent matches in BTWF, and if Jellal, Bakugo, or the rest of the NWO think I'm going to be scared of whatever the wheel decides for me, then they're in for a rude awakening," Midoriya explained. Scott nodded as he took the microphone back and attempted to ask him another question. However, Jellal came walking over to Midoriya with a cocky strut and patted the BTWF Hardcore Championship on his shoulder.

"If I were you, I would be worried. You may have gotten lucky with Corvus, Kid, and others, but I'm not like those guys. This is my first opportunity to win singles gold and bring it to the NWO, and you better believe that I'm not going to let the NWO down," Jellal said, poking Midoriya in the chest. Midoriya rolled his eyes, slapping Jellal's hand away from his chest and adjusting the BTWF Hardcore Championship over his shoulder.

"You can tell yourself whatever you want, but you're going to end up just like the NWO at Christmas Chaos; beaten, broken, and a loser," Midoriya said. Before Jellal could respond, Midoriya walked off with the championship in tow. Jellal glared at Midoriya's disappearing frame before glaring at Scott and walking back to his locker room. The camera then panned to the stage, where a computer loading screen appeared on the TitanTron, and once the loading bar reached 100%, the Miz's 'Reality' theme song played, causing the crowd to give a mixed reaction as Juniper came walking out of the back.

"The following contest is an Interpromotional Match scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, from Orchid Bay California, Juniper Lee!" Tony Chimel announced. The crowd continued giving a mixed reaction as Juniper told the camera that it didn't matter where her opponent came from because she was going to win. Juniper continued walking to the ring, surprisingly hi-fiving some of the fans that were cheering her while rolling her eyes at the fans that were booing her.

"I'm surprised that the crowd here is giving Juniper a mixed reaction, but that could be explained by the fact she's wrestling someone from another company," Striker explained as Juniper made it to the ringside area. Juniper looked at the crowd giving her a mixed reaction and walked up the steel steps before jumping up to the top turnbuckle, sitting cross-legged. June began telling the crowd that she was going to get an easy win tonight as she jumped off of the top rope, and walked to the center of the ring.

"If there's anyone with enough confidence in themselves that they think they can beat anyone put in front of them, it's Juniper Lee," Kotoko explained as when Juniper went to the center of the ring, she knelt to one knee, and raised her pointer finger in the air. The crowd continued giving her a mixed reaction as June to the crowd that she was going straight to the top before jumping back up to her feet. June then started walking to the corner, leaning in the corner, telling her opponent to hurry up and get this match started. A moment later, 'Bad Romance' by Halestorm played, causing the crowd to boo as Adagio Dazzle came out with Neapolitan, with Adagio glaring at the crowd.

"And her opponent, representing LWF: Reborn, accompanied to the ring by Neapolitan, Adagio Dazzle!" Tony Chimel announced as Adagio looked up at Neapolitan, patted her on the back, and whispered something in her ear. Neapolitan nodded before Adagio started stomping her way to the ring, with Neapolitan following her after putting her umbrella down. Adagio continued glaring at the booing crowd, getting into several mini-arguments with some jeering members of the BTWF fanbase.

"Juniper may be in for a hard fight tonight, as Adagio has…to put it bluntly, lost her mind in recent weeks," Bob explained as Juniper told Adagio to hurry up and get in the ring, and Adagio yelled at Juniper to shut up and that she'll get in the ring when she feels like it. Juniper then glared at Neapolitan, who made her way to a side of the ring, simply smiling back at Juniper, waving at her. Meanwhile, Adagio walked up the steel steps on the corner of the ring, telling the crowd to shut up once she heard their boos get louder.

"Adagio has been obsessed with getting yet another match with her former Siren partners, Sonata Dusk, culminating into a disgusting attack on Sonata on episode 17 of LWF: Reborn," Striker explained as Adagio went into the ring, and stomped to one of the cameras in the corner of the ring, telling Sonata that when she gets back from winning this match, Sonata better give her the answer she wants. Adagio then jumped to the center of the ring and started trash-talking Juniper before the referee checked if both women were ready, and when both women confirmed that they were, the referee told the timekeeper to ring the bell.

"Well let's see whether Adagio can send the message that she wants to Sonata," Bob explained as Adagio slapped Juniper in the face, causing the crowd to boo as she kicked Juniper in the gut and pushed her into the corner. The crowd continued booing as Adagio started hitting Juniper with multiple forearms to the side of the head before the referee pulled her out of the corner. Adagio started yelling at the referee to not get in her way again before kicking Juniper straight in the gut.

"Adagio starting this match off with some vicious strikes, showing this newfound mean-streak that's been added to her in-ring repertoire!" Kotoko exclaimed as Adagio attempted to run into the corner, but the crowd gave a mixed reaction as Juniper dodged, sending Adagio's face bouncing off of the top turnbuckle. The crowd continued their mixed reaction, with slightly more cheers than boos, as Juniper started punching Adagio in the side of the face. Adagio dodged one of Juniper's punches and attempted to hit Juniper with a punch of her own, but Juniper dodged and hit Adagio in the side of the head with an Enziguri.

"Oh! Nice Enziguri kick to the side of the head, dazing Adagio in the center of the ring!" Bob exclaimed as Juniper ran the ropes, and knocked Adagio down with a Hurricanrana before attempting to roll her up for a pinfall. However, Adagio was able to roll through the roll-up attempt and attempted to kick a seated Juniper in the face, but Juniper was able to duck and push both of her feet into Adagio's chest. Juniper then kipped back to her feet and hit Adagio with a Jumping Sit-Out Facebuster. Juniper kipped back up to her feet, causing the crowd to give her the most positive reaction she ever got in the BTWF as Neapolitan glared at her.

"Juniper taking Adagio down with a Facebuster and the crowd is loving seeing Adagio get some lumps after all she's done to her former so-called friend, Sonata!" Kotoko exclaimed as Juniper ran the ropes and hit a downed Adagio with a Jumping Knee Drop to the top of the head before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2

Juniper picked up Adagio after the kickout and punched her several times in the face. The crowd booed as Adagio raked Juniper in the eyes and attempted to throw her into the corner, but the crowd cheered as Juniper was able to jump onto the second turnbuckle, and daze Adagio with a Springboard Double Ax Handle. The crowd continued cheering as Juniper ran the ropes and knocked Adagio down with a Jumping Clothesline, but when she tried to run the ropes again, Neapolitan tripped June up while the referee was briefly distracted with checking on Adagio.

"Neapolitan makes her presence known, preventing more damage from coming to her partner!" Striker exclaimed as Juniper responded by running and hitting Neapolitan in the face with a Running Baseball Slide Dropkick. Juniper, now on the apron, dived off of the apron and hit Neapolitan with another Diving Double Ax Handle. The crowd continued cheering as Juniper continued hitting Neapolitan on the outside, but this gave enough time for Adagio to get back onto her feet.

"Juniper might want to cool her temper because Adagio is getting back to her feet!" Bob exclaimed as while Juniper was continuing to punch Neapolitan, Adagio ran the ropes, and hit a Suicide Dive onto Juniper's back, sending her chest and chin crashing into the fan barricade. The crowd's cheers quickly turned into jeers as Adagio started stomping on the side of Juniper's face while Neapolitan cricked her neck in annoyance. Adagio then pulled Juniper back to her feet by the hair and threw her into the steel steps, sending Juniper's head crashing into the side of the steel steps.

Ref: 1…2…3

"Adagio taking control of this match, sending Juniper crashing into the steel steps!" Kotoko exclaimed as Adagio grabbed Juniper's hair again, picked her up in a Back Suplex position, put her arm in a Hammerlock, and dropped her back and arm onto the steel ring apron. The crowd continued booing as Adagio grabbed Juniper's arm, and started slamming it onto the edge of the steel ring apron multiple times before stomping on the middle of her arm and roaring at the booing crowd.

Ref: …4…5

Adagio then kicked Juniper back into the ring before going to one of the cameras at ringside and telling Sonata to watch from whatever cheap motel she was watching from. The crowd continued booing as Adagio slid back into the ring, and started stomping on the back of Juniper's right arm before picking her arm and hitting her with a Backbreaker. Adagio propped Juniper up, ran the ropes, and knocked Juniper back down with a Running Clothesline, sending her falling back down to the mat.

"What a Clothesline by Adagio! It was hard enough to send Juniper on the right arm that she had been targeting these past couple of minutes!" Striker exclaimed as Adagio grabbed Juniper, and threw her into the turnbuckles, sending her right arm crashing into the corner. The crowd continued booing as Adagio ran the ropes and hit Juniper in the back of the head with a Jumping Knee to the face. Juniper slumped down, and Adagio immediately responded by hitting a Running Face Wash to the side of Juniper's face before dragging her closer to the center of the ring and going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

"One thing we have neglected to talk about was how Adagio says she treated her 'friend' Sonata the way that she did so that she could make Sonata 'tougher' and 'a better Superstar'," Striker explained as Adagio grabbed Juniper's right arm, and started kicking her in the side of the face before kicking her right in the center of the arm. The crowd continued booing as Adagio once again yelled at the camera, telling Sonata that this is what was going to happen to her before picking Juniper up by the arm and hitting her with the Back Drop Driver. Adagio then slammed Juniper's arm into the mat and started dropping her knees onto the center of Juniper's arm.

"I don't think Sonata needed Adagio and Aria's constant bullying and verbal abuse to stand toe-to-toe with Erza Scarlet three different times. And Erza's one of the toughest women we have in the BTWF," Kotoko responded as Adagio picked Juniper back up, and threw her into the middle turnbuckle face first. Adagio then told the fans to shut their fucking mouths before running into the corner, and hitting Juniper in the back with a Springboard Double Foot Stomp before stomping on Juniper's right elbow several times.

"Well, no matter Adagio's motives for this obsession with Sonata, she nearly broke Juniper's back with that Double Foot Stomp!" Bob exclaimed as Adagio kicked Juniper in the back several times before running the ropes and hitting Juniper with a Running Penalty Kick to the chest. Neapolitan nodded in approval on the outside as Adagio glared at the booing crowd and called them human scum before running the ropes and hitting a Jumping Knee Drop to Juniper's right shoulder. Adagio then put Juniper in a seated position and started hitting her with multiple Knife-Edge Chops to the back before running the ropes and hitting her with a Running Hesitation Dropkick to the back of her head before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2..

"Adagio looks really frustrated at the fact that she hasn't put away Juniper yet, and we all know what happens when Adagio gets frustrated," Kotoko warned as Adagio stomped on Juniper's chest several times before jumping onto the apron. Adagio flipped the booing crowd off while waiting for Juniper to get up. When Juniper did get up, Adagio attempted to hit a Springboard Missile Dropkick onto Juniper, but Juniper was able to move out of the way. However, when June attempted to hit Adagio with an Inverted Headlock Backbreaker, Adagio once again raked Juniper's eye, pushing her away before quickly running to the ropes, springboarding off of the middle rope, and hitting Juniper in the back of the head with a Springboard Missile Dropkick before rolling her over for another pin.

Ref: 1…2..

"Juniper showing her resilience here, kicking out of a Springboard Missile Dropkick right to the back of the skull!" Striker exclaimed as Adagio pulled her hair in frustration before grabbing her arm and attempting to put her in a Hammerlock. However, Juniper sensed this and quickly got back up to her feet, hitting Adagio with several back elbows to the side of the head, and Adagio responded to this by attempting to put her in position for a Reverse DDT, but Juniper was able to roll Adagio up in a Victory Roll.

Ref: 1…2..

Adagio was able to quickly kick out and attempted to hit her with a Running Clothesline, but Juniper was able to dodge, and this time, hit the Inverted Headlock Backbreaker. The crowd cheered as Adagio went down on all fours as June staggered to the corner to try and get her bearings back.

"Juniper finally getting some momentum back on her side, using that unique Backbreaker to take Adagio down!" Bob exclaimed as Juniper waited for Adagio to get back to her feet, and when she did, Juniper ran the ropes and knocked Adagio down with a hard Clothesline. The crowd continued cheering as Juniper hit Adagio with two more Clotheslines, a Reverse Atomic Drop, a Flapjack and then ran the ropes again to hit a Running Forearm to the side of the head, sending Adagio crashing into the ropes, with her head draped over the middle rope.

"It's still really odd to hear the crowd actually cheer Juniper getting momentum back on her side!" Kotoko exclaimed as Juniper ran the ropes and hit a Running Back Elbow to the back of Adagio's head while she was still leaning over the ropes. The crowd continued giving Juniper a positive reaction as Juniper springboarded onto the apron, hitting Adagio in the back of the head with a Springboard Guillotine Leg Drop. Juniper pushed Adagio away from the ropes, jumping over the top rope, and hitting Adagio with a Springboard Elbow Drop to the chest before going for a pin, hooking both of her legs back.

Ref: 1…2.

"Adagio showcasing some resiliency of her own, refusing to stay down after that Springboard Elbow Drop!" Striker exclaimed as Juniper picked Adagio up, and attempted to hit her with the Underworld Plunge (Reverse Tombstone Piledriver). However, Adagio was able to fight out of it, pushing Juniper away and attempting to hit her with a Running Jumping Knee to the back, but Juniper was able to dodge this and hit Adagio with a Reverse DDT. The crowd continued cheering as Juniper picked Adagio back up to her feet and pushed her into the corner. Juniper then put Adagio on the top rope, hitting her with several punches to the side of the head before following her.

"What does Juniper have planned now!? She has Adagio propped on the top turnbuckle!" Bob exclaimed as Juniper attempted to hit Adagio with a Top Rope Hurricanrana, but Adagio was able to keep her hands on the top rope, sending Juniper crashing to the ring canvas. The crowd booed as Adagio balanced herself on the top turnbuckle, hitting Juniper in the chest with a Diving Single Foot Stomp before going for the pinfall, rolling Juniper up with a Crucifix Pin.

Ref: 1…2..

Juniper was able to kick out, and when Adagio attempted to hit her with a Blind Kiss (Superkick to the Back of the Head of a Kneeling Opponent), Juniper was able to dodge. However, when June attempted to hit Adagio with another Enziguri, she was able to dodge and throw June into the ropes before pulling the referee away. The crowd booed louder as Neapolitan grabbed her umbrella, and hit Juniper hard enough in the back and right arm to send her down.

"And the adrenaline has worn off! All the pain that Adagio has inflicted on the arm has come back to haunt Juniper!" Striker exclaimed as while June was on her knees, Adagio hit her with the Blind Kiss (Superkick to the Back of the Head of a Kneeling Opponent) before grabbing her right arm and locking her in the Golden Tangled Heart (Zema Ion/Joaquin Wilde's Submission Impossible). The crowd booed as June almost immediately tapped out to the hold once Adagio started really stretching her right arm.

*Bell Rings*

"Here is your winner as a result of a submission, Adagio Dazzle!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued booing. In the ring, Adagio was continuing to stretch Juniper's arm with the referee immediately kneeling down, and telling Adagio that she would reverse the decision of the match if Adagio didn't let go of Juniper within the next five seconds. Adagio responded by letting go of Juniper, but the crowd booed as Neapolitan hit the referee in the back with her umbrella, allowing Adagio to put Juniper back in the Golden Tangled Heart (Zema Ion/Joaquin Wilde's Submission Impossible), yelling at Sonata that this was going to be her future.

"Adagio gets the victory here, but it looks as though she's trying to send a message to Sonata. At this point, she needs to just bite the bullet and ask her out already, because this obsession is getting ridiculous!" Bob exclaimed as the crowd began cheering as 'the Second City Shooter' Rally Vincent came running down the ring. Rally slid into the ring, dodged an attempted umbrella strike from Neapolitan, took her umbrella, and hit her in the back multiple times with it, pushing her out of the ring before attempting to hit Adagio with the umbrella. However, Adagio let go of June, dodged the attempted umbrella shot, and rolled out of the ring and next to Neapolitan, causing the crowd to boo.

"This isn't really the time for jokes, Bob, but thankfully, Rally came running down to get rid of the Dirty Siren and her minion!" Kotoko exclaimed. Adagio glared at Rally, calling her garbage as she walked up the entranceway with Neapolitan behind her. The crowd continued booing at Adagio and cheering at Rally as Rally helped Juniper back to her feet. Juniper looked at Rally with a raised eyebrow, but Rally told her that this meant nothing and that they were still enemies, but she wasn't going to let anyone from the BTWF get beaten up by someone from another company.

"Rally showcasing her loyalty to the BTWF by saving someone she's hated for months now from Adagio's assault! But you know Rally still despises June and her June Facts!" Striker exclaimed as Juniper nodded, saying that she still didn't like Rally either, and this wasn't going to change that. The camera then panned backstage where Victor Calavera was standing next to BTWF Tag Team Champions Pete Corvus and Kite, who had Tsubaki accompanying them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the BTWF Tag Team Champions Pete Corvus and Kite. Guys, I want to get your thoughts on facing 'Ace' Hitman Jones and Mirio Togata at the Battle Riot?" Victor asked. Corvus and Kite looked at each other, before nodding at each other and turning their attention to Tsubaki. They both nodded at Tsubaki, who kissed Corvus on the cheek in response before putting Victor's microphone in front of her mouth.

"Of course, you interrupted us to ask a stupid question like that. We're not worried about those two at all. Mirio may have beaten Pete, but he got lucky. It's not the spoiler for the Battle Riot that everyone's thinking it is," Tsubaki explained. Victor sighed before moving the microphone back in front of him and looked up at Corvus and Kite.

"What do the two of you think of it?" Victor asked. Before Corvus and Kite could say anything, Mirio Togata and 'Ace' Hitman Jones came walking over to the two, with Hitman holding a cardboard box full of his homemade 'Power of Flight' merchandise. Hitman gave T-shirts to Kite, Pete Corvus, and Tsubaki, causing them to glare before Hitman looked down at Victor, and gave him a free T-shirt as well.

"I'll tell you what they think of it, Victor; they think that they won't stand a chance against us. In fact, I'm still waiting on my artist to work on some new designs, and even some hats and necklaces. And those designs are me and Mirio holding the BTWF Tag Team Championships with you two down on your backs," Hitman explained. Corvus grabbed the T-shirt Hitman gave him off of his shoulder, spat on it, and threw it at Hitman's face.

"You two losers aren't going to win our championships no matter how many ugly T-shirts you make and hand out!" Corvus shouted at Hitman. Hitman took the shirt off of his face and responded by running up at Corvus and punching him in the side of the face. Mirio and Kite joined in on the backstage brawl as the security came running over to the scene with Tsubaki screaming at them to pull them apart. Before security could pull the four away from each other, the screen to the camera distorted as the camera panned to the destroyed Happy Place, with Tsubaki sitting in front of her destroyed couch with a picture of her father and brother in her hand.

"I'm here to tell you a story; a story that will torture your thoughts by day and poison your dreams by night. Though I will do my best, there are no words that can be written or brush strokes laid on canvas that can describe the stark and utter horror of the night that the happy-go-lucky child I was born as died," Minatsuki soliloquized to herself before looking at the camera, the bags still under her eyes while her eyes were bloodshot red.

"Last week, the BTWF refused to air another one of my diaries because it was 'too graphic', but I want everyone to hear it. So, now that I have the time, I wanted to talk about my other two family members; my father and my brother," Minatsuki explained as she grabbed the picture, seemingly lost in a trance as she rubbed her thumb on the picture.

"After the death of my mother, my father changed. Our arguments were explosive and profanity-laced. I still have the scars on the back of my head of my father slamming my head into the side of the wall. I also have a couple of teeth missing from my father's punches to the face," Minatsuki explained. The thumb that was tracing the picture started pressing into her father's face as Minatsuki's eyes started forming tears.

"I told my brother all about it, and on that day, a fight broke out between both my father and my brother. At this point in my life, my mother killed the care and empathy I had for other people, so I just sat down and watched them beat each other up," Minatsuki continued explaining as surprisingly, a smile started forming on her face as her grip on the picture loosens.

"My father was beaten after around half an hour, and while he was bleeding out, he begged for help. I ignored him and went to thank my brother, but then he grabbed me by my…butt. He pushed me down to the couch and attempted to 'get a reward' from me. Rather than give him what he wanted, I grabbed a small pair of scissors from the desk next to the chair, and drove the scissors into his throat," Minatsuki continued as she picked up a pair of red scissors, and looked at the picture.

"But I wasn't done yet, as I saw my father ask me something. I couldn't hear what he said, but I decided to finish what my brother started and stab him in the throat as well. With them both dead, the weight on my back finally lifted and I felt free," Minatsuki explained as she stabbed the scissors through the picture, aiming for her father and brother's faces. When the camera panned back to Minatsuki's face, which was in her Demon paint and mask with the lights in the Happy Place flickering red.

"The emptiness will haunt you," the demonic voice uttered before the camera panned to a commercial break.

*Commercial Break*

*Commercial Over*

The camera panned to a New York street corner, where Brandish Myu was holding a croissant in her hand while Marin Hollow was taking pictures of her.

"I've been gaining some momentum in the BTWF, but it's still not enough for me to get the BTWF Women's Championship match that I deserve," Brandish mumbled as she took a bite out of her croissant. Marin nodded before putting his phone down, opening his text messages, and holding them in front of Brandish, who looked at them with a raised eyebrow.

"Don't worry Brandish, I got you a match next week that will bring you more wins in only one day; a Gauntlet match with some women on the Intensity roster," Marin explained. Brandish continued looking through the texts before nodding at the texts and then at Marin before taking another bite out of her croissant.

"Excellent idea, Marin. These losers in the Gauntlet match won't give me too much trouble next week. Now, let's get back to enjoying the sights and sounds of New York," Brandish said as Marin nodded and followed her while continuing to take pictures of their environment. The camera then panned to the ring, where it looked as though the Jellal vs. Midoriya match was going to happen, but the crowd cheered as 'Straight to Hell' by Falling in Reverse played, and a beaten Gourry came stomping to the ring with a glare on his face.

"Earlier tonight, Gourry was attacked by the Vaudevillians during a backstage confrontation, and it looks like Gourry has something to say!" Striker exclaimed as Gourry walked into the ring and told Tony Chimel to give him the microphone he was holding. Tony did what he was asked, and once Gourry gave the microphone, Gourry started pacing back and forth in the ring as the crowd continued cheering and chanting for him.

"You know, coming back to the BTWF, I made it my mission to help the future of the BTWF if I retire. But it seems like there are a couple of punks back there who need an old-fashioned ass-kicking!" Gourry exclaimed. The crowd continued cheering as Gourry looked at the stage, and got on his knees.

"That's why I'm going to ask my opponent for the Battle Riot, the BTWF World Heavyweight Champion, Zancrow, to team up with me next week against the Vaudevillians. I know people will have doubts about this decision, but I respect you enough to know that you know where I'm coming from, Zancrow. So, will you join me next week to teach a couple of punks dome respect?" Gourry asked while on his knees. After a moment, the crowd exploded as the corners ring posts exploded into black flames before the lights in the arena turned down. The TitanTron then turned on with the words 'I Accept' appearing on the screen.

"Well, it looks like Gourry has a tag team partner for next week!" Bob exclaimed as the words on the TitanTron turned to 'You will see what is in your future next week'. The lights in the arena then turned on as the TitanTron turned back off. Gourry looked confused at the way Zancrow has responded, but nodded as he told the crowd that it was on next week, jumped back up to his feet, and raised his arms in celebration.

"The question is can they co-exist with a BTWF World Heavyweight Championship match coming along the horizon!?" Kotoko asked as the camera panned away from Gourry leaving the ring and hi-fiving fans in the front row. The camera then panned to a backstage hallway, where Adagio Dazzle and Neapolitan were walking to their car in the garage.

"Did you hear the human scum in the audience, Neo? They had the audacity to boo me while cheering that Matt Hardy Version 1 rip-off!" Adagio yelled, kicking a crate next to her in frustration. Neo patted Adagio on the shoulder before nodding and gazing at her with a confident and supportive look on her face.

"No, you're right. I know I'm one of the best female wrestlers in the Fanfiction Wrestling Multiverse today. Nobody is on my level, especially not that loser Sonata!" Adagio continued ranting as Neo looked at her with a raised eyebrow, and pointed forward.

"Look, you don't understand Neo! Sonata is a cancer on LWF: Reborn, especially with her making people think that I can be beaten. I am untouchable, and Sonata needs to learn her lesson, and if she doesn't come to Wrestlepalooza, I'll drag her there and break her arms until she begs me to take her back! She will learn that I am untouchable and she never had a chance of even reaching my level!" Adagio ranted on. Neo sighed before nodding and unlocking their car in the garage. Neo and Adagio walked into their car before the camera panned away to the stage, where 'MANTRA' by Bring Me the Horizon played. The crowd booed as Jellal came walking out, taking off his ring jacket to show off his NWO shirt.

"The following contest is a Falls Count Anywhere match, and it is for the BTWF Hardcore Championship! Introducing the challenger, representing the NWO, he is Jellal Fernandes!" Tony Chimel announced as Jellal told the fans that the NWO was getting more gold for their collection. The crowd continued booing as Jellal blew black and white paper stars into the crowd, telling them that they were in the middle of witnessing history.

"Jellal was chosen by the leader of the NWO Katsuki Bakugo to challenge Izuku Midoriya for the BTWF Hardcore Championship," Bob explained as the crowd continued booing while Jellal jumped on top of the fan barricade when he reached the ringside area. The crowd continued booing as Jellal walked over to another side of the ring while turning to face the crowd while still on top of the fan barricade. Jellal blew a kiss to the jeering crowd before turning back around and jumping to the steel ring apron all the way from the fan barricade.

"For those wondering, Jellal and Midoriya had their stipulation decided during the commercial break, due to both men wanting their match to get done as soon as possible, but they could not account for Gourry," Striker explained as Jellal jumped over the top rope, and outstretched his open hands as he basked in, what he believed, was his inevitable victory. The crowd continued booing as Jellal went into the corner, and laid down on the top rope. The crowd then exploded into cheers as 'Resentment' by A Day to Remember played, and Midoriya came running out of the back with the BTWF Hardcore Championship around his waist.

"And his opponent, from Musutafu Japan, he is the BTWF Hardcore Champion, Izuku Midoriya!" Tony Chimel announced. The crowd continued cheering as Midoriya grabbed his BTWF Hardcore Championship, took it off of around his waist, and raised the BTWF Hardcore Championship over his head. The crowd continued cheering loudly as pyro went off from behind him while Jellal was waiting for him in the ring, not looking phased by the entrance and the crowd's reaction.

"Midoriya has been a constant thorn in the NWO's side for months now, and in fact defeated another NWO member in Pete Corvus to win the Hardcore Championship back at Trouble in Tokyo," Striker explained as Midoriya raised the BTWF Hardcore Championship once again once he got close to the ringside area. However, the crowd booed as Jellal ran and vaulted over the top rope to knock Midoriya down with a Vaulting Crossbody. The referee told the timekeeper to ring the bell as Jellal and Midoriya started exchanging punches with each other on the floor.

"Jellal is kick-starting this match with a spectacular dive over the ropes, and onto Midoriya!" Bob exclaimed as Midoriya was able to win this brawl by punching Jellal in the side of the head. However, when Midoriya got back to his feet, Jellal kicked him in the gut and attempted to throw him into the steel ring apron. However, the crowd cheered as Midoriya was able to jump onto the steel ring apron and hit Jellal with a Springboard Asai Moonsault off of the middle rope, taking Jellal down before going for an early pinfall.

Ref: 1…

"A beautiful Moonsault counter by Midoriya only gets him a two count, but Midoriya has to be careful as the NWO could come out at any time," Kotoko explained as Midoriya picked Jellal up, and hit him with multiple Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before throwing him into the corner of the fan barricade. The crowd continued cheering as Midoriya hit multiple punches to the side of Jellal's face, but the crowd booed as Jellal chopped Midoriya in the throat and attempted to throw him into the steel ring post. However, the crowd went back to cheering as Midoriya grabbed the steel ring post, and hit Jellal in the back of the head with a Tiger Feint Kick, sending him falling on all fours.

"Midoriya showcasing more fantastic athleticism there, using the ring as something of a tag team partner!" Striker exclaimed as Midoriya then jumped onto the ring apron, and hit a Running Headscissors off of the ropes, sending Jellal crashing to the ground. As Jellal tried to quickly get back to his feet, using the steel ring apron to help pull himself up, Midoriya went back onto the steel ring apron and hit Jellal in the side of the head with a Drive-By Kick. The crowd continued cheering as Midoriya got off of the apron, and started punching Jellal in the side of the face again while he was on his knees.

"Midoriya not giving Jellal any breathing room, which is a good strategy when it comes to someone as conniving as Jellal," Bob explained as Midoriya picked Jellal up by the hair, and attempted to throw him into the corner fan barricade surrounding the timekeeper's area. However, Jellal was able to counter this, sending Midoriya crashing into the fan barricade. Jellal then started stomping on Midoriya's gut and punching him in the face before backing away, telling the crowd they were about to get their OMG moment.

"Jellal taking control, but the question is for how long!?" Kotoko asked as he ran into the fan barricade, attempting to hit Midoriya with a Running Knee Strike, but Midoriya, much to the crowd's delight, was able to counter a running Jellal with a Catch Powerslam with enough force to send him crashing through the corner of the fan barricade, causing the crowd to explode into cheers and chant 'Holy Shit!'

"Well, there's your answer, Kotoko!" Bob exclaimed in excitement as Midoriya pinned Jellal.

Ref: 1…2

"Jellal is somehow still in this, but with all this destruction so early on in the match, what else does Midoriya have planned here!?" Striker asked as Midoriya cricked his neck before attempting to pick Jellal up. However, Jellal held onto the table holding the timekeeper's bell, causing the crowd to boo as Midoriya continued trying to pull him off. However, this gave Jellal enough time to get his bearings back and grab the ring bell from the top of the table.

"And now Jellal has the ring bell! Jellal's looking for something that could get him some prolonged control in this match!" Kotoko exclaimed as when Midoriya pulled him away from the timekeeper's table, Jellal kicked Midoriya in the gut a couple of times, allowing Jellal to slink away from Midoriya and pull himself back up to his feet, grabbing an unbroken portion of the fan barricade to help pull himself up. Midoriya was able to shake the cobwebs out of his head and attempted to hit Jellal with a Delaware Smash (Helluva Kick) while Jellal was still leaning on the barricade. However, Jellal was able to move out of the way, sending Midoriya's leg crashing over the fan barricade.

"Jellal able to dodge the Delaware Smash! And Midoriya's leg just crashed right into the fan barricade!" Bob exclaimed while wincing as Jellal, who still had a hold of the ring bell, ran and hit Midoriya in the back of the head with the ring bell. The crowd booed as Midoriya fell off of the fan barricade, and Jellal continued the attack by picking Midoriya up by the hair and putting him on his knees before hitting him in the side of the head with the ring bell. Jellal then put the bell down and pinned Midoriya with both of his legs hooked back.

Ref: 1…2

"Midoriya is able to roll his shoulder off of the mat, but he's starting to bleed from the side of the head!" Striker exclaimed as blood began spilling out of a cut on the side of Midoriya's head next to his ear. Jellal responded to this by picking Midoriya back up, and throwing him against the fan barricade, sending him crashing into the barricade face first. Jellal picked Midoriya back up, threw him into the ring, jumped onto the ring apron, and hit Midoriya with a Springboard Double Foot Stomp. Midoriya tried rolling away from Jellal, but Jellal started kicking and stomping on Midoriya while he was on the ground.

"Both of these men are going to be competing in the Battle Riot, and you have to imagine Jellal or Midoriya coming into the match battered or as champion would hurt or benefit their chances in the Battle Riot match," Kotoko explained as Jellal picked Midoriya up, put him in the corner, and started hitting him with multiple punches to the face before running the ropes and hitting Midoriya in the face with a Running Corner Big Boot. Jellal then stopped Midoriya from falling, hit Midoriya with a Tornado DDT, and went for the pinfall again, hooking both of his legs back.

Ref: 1…2.

"Midoriya kicking out again, but with all of these shots to the head, you have to wonder if he'll eventually bleed out to the point where the referee will have to stop the match," Striker explained as Jellal glared at the referee before getting back to his feet and stomping on Midoriya's bleeding face multiple times. Jellal smirked at the booing crowd before rolling out of the ring, going underneath the ring, and grabbing a couple of tables and a couple of chairs. Jellal threw one of the tables and two of the steel chairs into the ring before rolling back into the ring. Jellal grabbed one of the chairs and smacked Midoriya right in the side of the face with one of the steel chairs.

"Oh, God! Midoriya tried to get back to his feet, and Jellal sent him crashing back down with a hard chair shot!" Bob exclaimed while wincing as Jellal hit Midoriya in the back with multiple chair shots to the back. The crowd continued booing as Jellal turned Midoriya back on his back, slammed the steel chair into his chest, and then ran the ropes to hit a Running Shooting Star Press onto Midoriya, sending the chair pushing into Midoriya's chest while Jellal jumped onto his feet, holding his chest in pain.

"Jellal suffering the side effects of the creative uses of chairs and the like, having to take a break due to him landing so hard on the chair," Kotoko explained as Jellal dragged Midoriya to another corner, stomping on him several times, before jumping up to the middle rope, and hitting a Diving Elbow Drop onto Midoriya's chest before going for another pin, pressing his forearm into Midoriya's bloody face.

Ref: 1…2.

Jellal kicked the bottom rope in frustration before rolling out of the ring and grabbing one of the TV monitors from the announcers' table. Jellal then rolled back into the ring, grabbed the cord from the monitor, and started choking Midoriya with the chord. The crowd booed as Jellal told the crowd to look at their hero and look at how much of a loser he was. However, the crowd began cheering again as Midoriya started pulling himself back to his feet, and started elbowing Jellal in the side of the head to stop the choking before attempting to escape his grip. However, Jellal was able to use the cord to send the back of Midoriya's head down onto the mat with an Edge-O-Matic.

"Jellal with some ingenuity there, taking Midoriya back down to the ground using the cord around his neck!" Striker exclaimed as Jellal took the cord off of around Midoriya's neck, and started whipping him in the back with the cord. Jellal then twirled the cord around his pointer finger as cuts began opening up on his back, and began bleeding. Midoriya tried to crawl to the corner, but Jellal responded by stomping on Midoriya's back, running the ropes, and hitting Jellal with a Hesitation Dropkick to the back of the head. Jellal then dragged Midoriya back to the center of the ring, hit him with a Standing Moonsault, and went for another pin.

Ref: 1…2..

"Midoriya is continuing to kick out of all this offense, and this looks like Jellal is getting angrier and angrier," Bob noticed as Jellal propped Midoriya up in the corner, slapped him in the face a couple of times, and grabbed the TV monitor. Jellal attempted to hit Midoriya in the face with the TV monitor, but Midoriya was able to duck out of the way, sending the TV monitor bouncing over Jellal's head. The crowd cheered as Midoriya quickly grabbed one of the steel chairs as Jellal attempted to grab Midoriya, but the crowd began cheering louder as Midoriya rammed the top of the steel chair into Jellal's gut multiple times, sending him staggering into the corner.

"Midoriya fighting back with a steel chair that Jellal himself had put into the ring!" Striker exclaimed as Midoriya used the chair to help pull himself back to his feet, and when Jellal attempted to run out of the corner, Midoriya hit Jellal in the face with the steel chair. The crowd continued cheering as Midoriya grabbed one of the tables that Jellal had put in the ring, and set it up in the corner. Midoriya then went to pick Jellal up and punched him multiple times in the face before attempting to throw him into the corner. However, Jellal was able to grab the ropes to keep himself from going through the table, causing the crowd to boo.

"Jellal smartly preventing himself from going through the table, but Midoriya doesn't look like he's done with Jellal yet!" Kotoko exclaimed as when Jellal walked away from the table, Midoriya ran at him, hitting Jellal with two Clotheslines, a Jumping Calf Kick, and a Blue Thunder Bomb. The crowd continued cheering as Midoriya ran the ropes, and springboarded off of the middle rope to hit Jellal in the chest with a Lionsault before going for the pin, hooking both of his legs back.

Ref: 1…2..

"Jellal kicked out, barely, but he kicked out! Midoriya's going to have to do a little more before retaining his BTWF Hardcore Championship!" Bob exclaimed as Midoriya picked Jellal up, hit him with multiple knee strikes, and put him in a Powerbomb position before attempting to throw him through the table in the corner. However, Jellal was able to counter the Powerbomb attempt into a Hurricanrana, but Midoriya was able to roll back on his legs, preventing him from going through the table. Jellal, furious that Midoriya had not gone through the table, attempted to hit Midoriya with a Shotgun Dropkick, but he was able to counter, sending Jellal through the table in the corner with a Blue Thunder Bomb, causing the crowd to explode.

"And Jellal gets put through his own table! Midoriya sent Jellal crashing through the table with all the force he can muster!" Kotoko exclaimed as Midoriya fell onto Jellal, pinning him.

Ref: 1…2…

"How the hell did Jellal kick out of that!? I shouldn't even say kick out, because Jellal was only able to roll his shoulder off of the mat, but still!" Striker exclaimed as Midoriya looked up at the referee in shock before picking Jellal up by his hair, and hitting him with a couple of headbutts before attempting to lock him in the Koji Clutch. However, Jellal was able to grab the top rope, keeping himself in a standing position, but Midoriya was finally able to power Jellal down to the ground, and lock him in the Koji Clutch, causing the crowd to explode as Jellal tried to pull himself out of the hold.

"Midoriya has Jellal in the Koji Clutch! This could be it! Midoriya's going to retain the championship!" Bob exclaimed as the crowd began booing loudly. This was because several members of the NWO started running down the ring. Duncan, Marco Diaz, and Dipper Pines came running to the ringside area before sliding into the ring. Midoriya responded by letting go of Jellal and knocking Dipper and Marco with Clotheslines. Midoriya was able to catch Duncan's attempt at a Superkick and hit him with a Sit-Out Powerbomb. The crowd continued cheering as Midoriya picked the steel chair back up, and hit both Marco and Dipper in the face with the steel chair.

"Midoriya fighting off the NWO! Midoriya had this match won and would've won if it wasn't for the NWO!" Kotoko exclaimed as Midoriya grabbed Duncan, and threw him out of the ring as Marco and Dipper rolled out of the ring. The crowd booed as Jellal staggered back to his feet, and rolled Midoriya up with a Small Package.

"Jellal and Midoriya countering pins, showing that the Hardcore championship is more about who can hit the other with the most weapons, but who's the smartest when it comes to the ring!" Striker exclaimed. The crowd continued cheering as Midoriya hit Jellal with a DDT when he attempted to stand up and rolled out of the ring to grab the other table that Jellal had taken out earlier. Midoriya rolled back into the ring, pulled the table after him, and set it up in front of the corner.

"Midoriya, now that he's taken out members of the NWO, has Jellal ready for another slam through the table!" Bob exclaimed as Midoriya grabbed Jellal by the hair, dragging him to the corner of the ring. Midoriya put Jellal in the corner, punching him in the face multiple times before putting him on the top turnbuckle. However, as Midoriya attempted to hit Jellal with a Superplex, the crowd exploded into boos as Bakugo came running down to the ring, rolled into the ring, and hit Midoriya with a low blow. Bakugo then grabbed Midoriya and slammed him through the table with a Powerbomb from the middle turnbuckle.

"And now Bakugo, once again, sticking his nose in his former friend's business, sending him right through a table with a Powerbomb!" Kotoko exclaimed as Bakugo told Jellal to get back in it and that Midoriya was down for the count. Jellal shook the cobwebs off of his head, looked down at Midoriya, who was motionless in a pile of broken pieces of wood, and smirked at Bakugo before balancing himself on the top rope, and hitting Midoriya with a Swanton Bomb to the chest before picking him back up, putting him in a Powerbomb position, and hit him with the Abyss Break (Pumphandle Facebuster). The crowd booed as Midoriya's face crashed into some of the broken table pieces before going for the pinfall.

*Bell Rings*

"Here is your winner and the new BTWF Hardcore Champion, representing the NWO, 'the Galaxy' Jellal Fernandez!" Tony Chimel announced as Bakugo helped Jellal back to his feet. The crowd exploded into boos as Bakugo yelled at the referee to get the BTWF Hardcore Championship, which the referee did and gave Jellal the BTWF Hardcore Championship. Bakugo grabbed the championship and put it around Jellal's waist as the NWO members around the ring started getting back up.

"And thanks to that damn Bakugo, the NWO is able to add more gold to their group!" Striker exclaimed as Jellal blew kisses to the booing crowd, celebrating his BTWF Hardcore Championship victory as Marco, Duncan, and Dipper rolled into the ring to celebrate with him. Bakugo grabbed Midoriya and threw him over the top rope, yelling 'Good luck!' at Midoriya before telling him that he was going to need all the luck he could get. Bakugo then hugged Jellal and told him that the NWO's rise back to the top began here.

"Bakugo not only taking away Midoriya's championship but using him as an example of his plans for the Battle Riot!" Kotoko exclaimed as Midoriya grabbed the top of the announcers' table, pulling himself back to his feet, and leaning down on the announcers' table. Midoriya put both of his hands on his face and ran his hands through his green hair while Bakugo and Jellal continued celebrating in the ring. Midoriya grabbed a towel from the ringside attendant and started rubbing the blood from his face and around his eyes.

"Midoriya has to be disappointed the fact that Bakugo was once again able to get a leg-up on Midoriya, costing him his championship," Bob explained as Bakugo and Jellal rolled out of the ring along with the rest of the NWO around the ring, leaving Midoriya with his thoughts as Jellal and Bakugo continued to celebrate the Hardcore Championship coming to the NWO while Midoriya walked away from the announcers' table and kicked the steel steps in frustration before throwing the towel down onto the floor.

"Disappointed might be an understatement, Bob. But rest assured, Midoriya isn't about to give up on his dreams," Midoriya explained as the show faded to black with Midoriya walking away from the ring, telling the fans that this wasn't over and that he was going to be the one to win the Battle Riot.
