BTWF Octane (August Week 4)
The camera opened up with Matt Striker in the parking lot, waiting for someone to interview.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm in the parking lot, waiting to give all the BTWF fans some news or superstars reactions and—oh! It looks like we have Clover Lamoreaux and Jerry Lewis coming into the arena!" Striker exclaimed as he jogged over the two.
"What do you want, Mart?" Clover asked irritably.
"My name is 'Matt' Clover, and I wanted to ask you about what it's like being one of the three women being chosen for being the special guest referee for the #1 contenders match between Akira Hayami and Zia Simpson?" Striker asked, causing Clover to start fuming.
"It's typical of the dumb redneck and the small child running this show! I'm one of the hottest superstars, in more ways than one, and I'm being reduced to being stuck as a guest referee for some match that I should be in!?" Clover complained.
"Well Clover, you haven't been selected as of yet. The final results will be shown at the PPV," Striker explained, as Clover rolled her eyes.
"Well, it's going to be pretty obvious that I'm going to win! I mean what person that sees me is going to vote for two washed-up old ladies!? I know I wouldn't!" Clover exclaimed before she was turned around by someone, who turned out to be Misato Katsuragi.
"You know, you have a really big mouth. Why don't you talk all that crap again while I'm standing right here!?" Katsuragi asked. Clover smirked at her before poking Jerry on the shoulder and the two of them left the backstage area and headed to the locker rooms. Misato rolled her eyes before turning her attention to Matt Striker.
"So Misato, I was wondering what you were doing here," Matt asked.
"Well, since I'm one of the women eligible to be selected to be a special guest referee for the # contenders match at Cyber Sunday, I wanted to make my presence known," Misato explained with a smile on her face before her face became more serious.
"But…if Clover wants to run her mouth, I think I have no problem teaching her a lesson…in the ring," Misato explained, as Matt looked at her in shock.
"What!? Are…are you in any shape to compete!?" Striker asked as Misato chuckled at Matt's shock.
"I may not be in my prime anymore, but I still have enough in the tank to go in that ring!" Misato exclaimed before she headed to the GM's office.
"Well fans, we may have something amazing happening here tonight with Misato possibly getting back into the ring, but that's not all…" Striker attempted to explain, before he turned his head, seeing Valentino and Todd Grisham. The two of them were trying to tiptoe to the locker rooms, but when they noticed that Striker was looking at them, they gave him a nervous smile and turned to him.
"Uh…what're you guys doing?" Striker asked.
"Oh…well we…were…" Todd stammered out before Valentino interrupted him.
"We were…looking for a partner for tonight!" Valentino exclaimed as Todd nodded in agreement while Striker looked on in disbelief.
"Yeah…a partner!" Todd exclaimed.
"OK…so why are you wearing all black?" Striker asked, as he pointed to the outfits Todd and Valentino were wearing, which were black cargo pants and black turtleneck sweaters.
"What? Is it suspicious to wear black or something?" Todd asked with mock offense, as a manila folder dropped from behind Todd's back and Valentino immediately dived onto the floor to pick up the folder.
"Well not normally but it is a bit suspicious when you're hiding manila folders behind your back," Striker countered as Valentino and Todd looked at each other before turning towards the locker rooms.
"Well these folders are full of potential wrestlers that can be a part of my team, now we're off!" Valentino exclaimed before he and Todd went to the locker rooms, leaving Matt Striker in shock.
"Uh…well then…that certainly happened. Anyway, let's get back to ringside for our opening contest!" Striker exclaimed, as the camera panned back to ringside, where the crowd was cheering as 'Defy' by Of Mice and Men played, revealing the Hardcore Champion Black Star, looking serious as he was stomping to the ring with Tsubaki trailing behind him.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring, accompanied by Tsubaki, from Death City, Nevada, he is the BTWF Hardcore Champion, Black Star!" Justin Roberts announced as Black Star continued to stomp to the ring.
"Welcome to BTWF Octane, ladies and gentlemen and from Charlottesville Virginia, I'm Jim Cornette alongside my broadcast partners, Beth Vanderwood and Rintaro Okabe!" Cornette exclaimed as Beth and Okabe waved to the camera.
"Thanks for the introduction, Jim! We have an action-packed go-home episode of Octane featuring Natsu in our main event, a multi-person tag team match, and the possible in-ring return of Misato Katsuragi!" Beth exclaimed as Black Star was leaning in the corner while Tsubaki was holding his Hardcore Championship.
"But for right now, we start with the Hardcore champion in action, looking like he is going to tear his opponent apart!" Okabe exclaimed, as 'We Are One' by 12 Stones played, causing the crowd to boo as Mercury Black came out of the back, walking out with his arms outstretched, not paying attention to Black Star's glare.
"And his opponent, from the Remnant, Mercury Black!" Justin Roberts announced as the crowd continued to boo while Mercury was walking to the ring and laughing at the booing fans.
"Mercury has been trying to get back into title contention, specifically contention for the United States Championship held by Shinji Ikari," Cornette explained, as Mercury walked into the ring and chuckled at the glare Black Star was giving him before climbing up on the top rope to pose.
"And you have to imagine that a win over our reigning Hardcore Champion will do just that," Okabe responded before the bell rang. Mercury, still on the top rope, attempted to dive onto Black Star with a twisting crossbody, but was met with a raised knee to the gut, much to the crowd's delight and surprise, while Tsubaki looked rather indifferent. Black Star grabbed Mercury by the hair and threw him into the corner before raining down punches onto Mercury's head, sending him falling to the bottom turnbuckle. The crowd cheered as Black Star ran the ropes and hit Mercury with a basement dropkick before going for the pin.

"Black Star is off to a hot start, trying to get all his stress and anger from his troubles with #1 contender for the Hardcore Championship, Pete Corvus!" Beth exclaimed as Black Star picked Mercury up by the hair and hit him with multiple knife edge chops before blocking one of Black Star's chops and hit him with a back elbow. Mercury then hit a Phenomenal Blitz onto Black Star, sending him staggering into the corner. Tsubaki continued to look on with indifference on her face as Mercury started stomping on Black Star's chest while the crowd booed and chanted for Black Star. However, Black Star was able to grab Mercury's foot and pushed him out of the corner causing the crowd to go back to cheering before Black Star went up to the middle turnbuckle.
"Well any stress that Black Star has over that outlaw mud show fuck doesn't seem to be bothering Tsubaki," Cornette noted, as Black Star hit Mercury with a diving back elbow, sending him down to the ground before running the ropes and hitting a leg drop to the back of the neck before going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2
Mercury rolled his shoulder out before Black Star mounted him and started elbowing him in the face before the referee pulled him off. Black Star went back onto Mercury and started punching him the face, causing the crowd to cheer louder, before Mercury poked Black Star in the eye and rolled onto the apron, causing the crowd to boo. Black Star, while still having his hand over his eye, went back to Mercury and started punching him in the face again, before grabbing him and attempting a suplex into the ring.
Ref: 1…2
However, Mercury was able to maintain his grip on the ropes, and kick Black Star in the knee sending him hanging throat first from the middle rope, causing the crowd to boo as Mercury had started playfully and mockingly kicking Black Star's head.
Ref: 3…4
"I think Mercury may have finally turned this match into his favor!" Okabe exclaimed as Mercury hit a leg drop to the back of Black Star's neck while he was hanging over the rope causing Black Star to roll away from the apron. Mercury then springboarded back into the ring with a 450 Splash, causing the crowd to boo, before he went for a pin.
Ref: 1…2
Mercury then started stomping on Black Star's chest before picking him up and throwing him into the turnbuckle chest first before hitting him with a German Suplex and when Mercury put Black Star in a kneeling position, ran the ropes and hit him with a Shining Wizard before he mounted Black Star and started punching him in the face. When the referee pulled him off, Mercury started stomping on Black Star before the referee threatened to disqualify him and he backed off. When Black Star got to a standing position, Mercury ran the ropes and hit a running seated forearm onto Black Star before going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2.
"And Mercury dominating Black Star in this match, possibly hoping to get Shinji's attention!" Cornette exclaimed, as Mercury grabbed Black Star and put him in a headlock, causing the crowd to boo while Tsubaki leaned on the ring apron to get a closer look at the action. The crowd cheered and clapped for Black Star as he tried to get back to his feet. However, Mercury quickly stopped him with multiple stomps to the back of his knee before picking him up for a back suplex and going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2
Black Star kicked out and Mercury responded by putting Black Star in a seated abdominal stretch. The crowd booed as Mercury started pounding Black Star's chest while continuing to stretch him. Black Star started dragging himself to the ropes, but Mercury was able to roll him back to the center of the ring and continue to stretch him in the abdominal stretch, much to the crowd's dismay.
"Mercury able to keep this painful submission hold locked in! Black Star may have to submit here!" Beth exclaimed, as the crowd continued to boo at Mercury, who responded to the boos by elbowing Black Star at the top of his head. However, Black Star started elbowing Mercury in the side of his head, causing the crowd to cheer. Mercury kept the hold locked in but Black Star kept elbowing him until Mercury's grip on the seated abdominal stretch loosening.
"I think Black Star finally has an opportunity to escape the abdominal stretch!" Cornette exclaimed as Black Star was finally able to escape the hold and roll Mercury up in a Jackknife pin.
Ref: 1…2
Mercury is able to kick out and attempted to clothesline Black Star again, but Black Star was able to counter that into an arm drag and pick him up for a Falcon Arrow before mounting him and punching him in the face much to the crowd's delight before picking him back up and throwing him into the corner. However, Mercury countered by jumping onto the top turnbuckle and dived onto Black Star with a corkscrew crossbody.
"What a move by Mercury! That cross-body may have finally won him the match!" Okabe exclaimed as Mercury went for the pin on Black Star, causing the crowd to boo.
Ref: 1…2.
Black Star kicked out, causing Mercury to shoot back to his feet and start arguing with the referee. Black Star started getting up to his feet while Mercury was still arguing with the referee. Mercury was able to notice Black Star getting up and locked him in a front facelock before pounding his back and put him in position for a suplex. However, Black Star was able to block Mercury's attempt with his leg, causing the crowd to cheer, before he attempted to lift him up for a suplex of his own. Mercury was able to get back onto the ground, punch Black Star in the gut, and attempted to hit him with a suplex again, but when Black Star got off of his feet, he countered the attempt into a DDT.
"What a counter by Black Star, sending Mercury's head crashing into the ring canvas!" Beth exclaimed before Black Star went for the pin on Mercury while the crowd was cheering.
Ref: 1…2.
The crowd continued to cheer as Black Star ran into the corner and started pounding on the turnbuckle, hyping up both himself and the crowd as Mercury had gotten back up to his feet. Black Star ran at him with two clotheslines, a flipping clothesline, a jumping reverse STO, a standing shooting star press, and put him in a seated position before running the ropes and hitting a knee shot right in Mercury's face before hitting him with a standing moonsault, causing the crowd to cheer. However, Tsubaki was still leaning on the apron looking on with a blank look on her face before Black Star went for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
"That was quite an impressive comeback by Black Star, but it still was not enough to put Mercury away!" Cornette exclaimed as Mercury rolled his shoulders off of the ground, causing Black Star to run his hand through his hair before picking him up and kicking him in the gut. Black Star attempted to hit Mercury with a swinging neckbreaker, but Mercury was able to dodge and pick him up in a Torture Rack position and sent him down to the ground with a Torture Rack Powerbomb causing the crowd to boo before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"What a Powerbomb by Mercury! But that isn't enough to put the Hardcore Champion down!" Beth exclaimed, as Mercury immediately went to the top rope and dived off to hit the Spiral Tap, but Black Star was able to dodge and hit him with the running neckbreaker before picking Mercury up. However, Mercury hit Black Star with a sit-out jawbreaker before hitting him with a Pele kick, sending Black Star falling to the ground before Mercury went back to the apron, prepping for the Phenomenal Forearm.
"Mercury is looking to end this match in…phenomenal fashion," Beth quipped, looking at Cornette and Okabe, who rolled their eyes at her.
"You know something, Jim…that idea of a pun jar you talked about at Bash at the Beach might be a good idea," Okabe mumbled while Cornette nodded in agreement as Black Star started to stagger to his feet as Mercury celebrated his impending victory, which caused the crowd to boo. When Black Star was on his feet, Mercury springboarded into the ring with the Phenomenal Forearm, but Black Star was able to counter midair with a Trouble in Paradise kick, causing the crowd to cheer as Black Star staggered to the corner.
"What an amazing kick by Black Star! That must've knocked Mercury out colder than the other side of the pillow!" Beth exclaimed, as Black Star climbed up to the top rope and hit him with a Falling Star (Twisted Bliss) causing the crowd to cheer before going for the pin.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, he is the BTWF Hardcore Champion, Black Star!" Justin Roberts announced, as Black Star got his belt from the referee and celebrated with it in the ring while Tsubaki gave very nonchalant applause that got drowned out by the rest of the crowd cheering him on.
"Well, it looks like Mercury is going to have to go back to the drawing board after a loss like that!" Okabe exclaimed, as Black Star rolled out of the ring and chatted to Tsubaki, who looked like she wasn't listening while the referee checked on Mercury.
"Black Star does have momentum heading into his Hardcore Championship match against Pete Corvus at Cyber Sunday!" Beth exclaimed as Pete Corvus ran down the aisle and hit Black Star with a clothesline before he mounted Black Star and started punching him in the face, causing the crowd to boo while Tsubaki jogged away while Corvus continued to rain down punches onto an exhausted Black Star.
"And speaking of that outlaw mud show fuck, it looks like Corvus is making his own message heading into Cyber Sunday!" Cornette exclaimed as Pete grabbed Black Star by the hair and threw him back into the ring before he started stomping on him in the head before picking him up, and much to the chagrin of the crowd hit him with the Package Piledriver before leaving the ring to grab the Hardcore Championship.
"Oh good God, what is he planning on doing now!?" Beth asked, as Pete rolled back into the ring with the Hardcore title in his hands, and wrapped the title around Black Star's throat before he started strangling him with the belt. Tsubaki ran into the ring and hugged Pete from behind, telling him to calm down and let Black Star go.
"And thank God for Tsubaki, who's trying to talk some sense into Corvus!" Okabe exclaimed as Tsubaki continued to talk to Corvus, causing him to take a deep breath and letting go of Black Star before throwing the Hardcore title down onto him before turning to face Tsubaki, smile at her, and kissed her on the cheek before the two left together. The crowd booed while the ringside trainer went into the ring to check on Black Star.
"Corvus and Tsubaki are leaving together and leaving Black Star in the care of our medical personnel!" Cornette exclaimed as the two made their way to the back as the camera panned to a commercial break.
*Commercial Break*
*Commercial Over*
The camera cut back to the parking garage, where Pete Corvus and Tsubaki were seen walking to a car, and Jack Korpela rushed to the couple to try and talk to them.
"Pete! Tsubaki! Can I get a word about what's going on with you two!?" Korpela asked, causing Pete to turn to him and roll his eyes.
"I don't have any comment other than the fact that at Cyber Sunday, I'm going to be the new Hardcore Champion, and me and Tsubaki are heading out on a date, so get out of our faces," Pete explained, as he pushed Korpela out of the way and headed to his car before the camera panned to the backstage interview area, where Matt Striker was standing with a microphone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time, the BTWF Unites States Champion, 'Undisputed' Shinji Ikari!" Matt Striker introduced as the camera panned to show Shinji Ikari with the United States Championship around his waist.
"Now Shinji, you have three possible opponents at Cyber Sunday that could challenge you for the United States championship. And I just wanted to ask if you had an opponent that you would like to face," Striker asked, which Shinji responded to with a chuckle.
"Well, it doesn't really matter what I want, because this PPV is all about the BTWF fanbase. But…if I had to choose…Soul has shown himself to be an amazing up and coming wrestler, especially with that Best of 5 Series with Todoroki. Owen and Mordecai are all amazing in their own rights, but Soul has star power written all over him in my mind," Shinji responded before Mr. Enter came walking into the interview area with Owen behind him.
"One thing we do agree with you on is that Soul is a future star. The keyword in that sentence is 'future'. Right now, Owen is the only one in this COMPANY that is going to take it to the top, and all that starts with your United States Championship!" Enter exclaimed as Owen nodded in agreement.
"Well…that's all well and good but you have to make sure that the fans actually care enough to vote for you," Shinji quipped, causing Striker to chuckle before Soul came up from behind Shinji and put his arm around the back of Shinji's neck.
"Thanks for the compliments, Shinji. And I just want you to know that when I beat you for the United States title, there won't be any hard feelings," Soul said with a smirk on his face, causing Shinji to playfully punch him in the shoulder.
"We'll see Soul," Shinji replied before Enter snapped his fingers in front of both Soul and Shinji.
"Hello!? Are you not seeing who you're going up against? You think either one of you two stand a chance against Owen?" Enter said while chuckling. Soul and Shinji looked at each other and rolled their eyes. Before Soul or Shinji could answer, Mordecai walked into the shot and glared right at Owen.
"You know, if memory serves, I've beaten you before. Just because you've been under new management doesn't mean that I still can't beat you!" Mordecai exclaimed. The tension between all four men was getting so intense, that Striker snuck away before the camera panned back to the ring, where Alexis Rhodes and Erza Scarlet of the Beautiful People were in the ring, where the crowd was giving them a mixed reaction.
"The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall. In the ring, representing the Beautiful People, Alexis Rhodes and Erza Scarlet!" Justin Roberts announced as fire erupted onto the stage before 'Ticking Bomb' by Aloe Blacc played, revealing Xochi, Tina Belcher with her lantern, and Clementine accompanying the two.
"The Beautiful People have Asuka representing them against the Sisterhood of Darkness, but under the order of Asuka, they are battling two members of the Sisterhood!" Cornette exclaimed, as Xochi, Tina, and Clementine walked to the ring, smiling at the booing crowd and the Beautiful People.
"And their opponents, accompanied by Clementine, representing the Sisterhood of Darkness, the team of Xochi and Tina Belcher!" Justin Roberts announced as the crowd booed while Tina was looking into her lantern as if it was a mystical orb along with Clementine, and Xochi was smirking at Erza and Alexis.
"Xochi is the normal one of the Sisterhood of Darkness, and she's teaming up with Tina Belcher in this match!" Okabe exclaimed, as Xochi and Tina rolled into the ring while Clementine stayed outside of the ring before Tina gave Xochi her lantern as she and Xochi walked in front of Erza and Alexis and smiled at them, while Tina patted Alexis on the head. When the bell rang, Tina and Alexis went into their respective apron corners before Xochi and Erza locked up in the middle of the ring.
"The two powerhouses of these teams are going at it!" Cornette exclaimed as Erza and Xochi tried to push each other off, but after 30 seconds, Erza kneed Xochi in the gut before throwing her into the corner with an Irish whip. The crowd lightly cheered as Erza ran into the corner and hit Xochi with a corner clothesline before Irish whipping her into the ropes. However, Xochi was able to counter Erza's attempt at a back body drop into an arm drag and putting her in a headlock, causing the crowd to boo.
"The crowd would normally not cheer the Beautiful People due to their actions against popular wrestlers like Rei, but against the Sisterhood of Darkness, anyone can become a fan favorite," Beth explained as Erza was able to get back to her feet and hit her in the gut multiple times before running Xochi into her corner and tagging Alexis into the match. The crowd cheered as the two hit a double suplex onto Xochi, and Alexis ran the ropes and hit her with a dropkick before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2
Xochi kicked out, and Alexis responded by picking her up and hitting multiple chops to the chest before attempting to Irish whip her into the ropes. However, Xochi responded with her own Irish whip that sent Alexis rocketing out of the ring before running the ropes and hitting her with a baseball slide, sending her crashing face-first into the padded concrete. Xochi attempted to go outside, but the referee tried to pull her out of the way. During this distraction, Clementine hit Alexis with a standing big boot and threw her back into the ring while the crowd booed her.
"And Clementine making her presence known with a devastating big boot to the face of Alexis!" Cornette exclaimed as Xochi responded with a jumping leg drop to the back of Alexis' head before tagging Tina into the match for the first time. Xochi hit a scoop slam onto Alexis before Tina got into the ring and hit a running senton onto Alexis's midsection before going for another pinfall.
Ref: 1…2
Alexis kicked out and Tina responded with multiple stomps to the chest before stepping on her forehead, arguing with Erza as the crowd booed. Tina grabbed Alexis by the hair and hit her with multiple knees to the face before sending her back into the corner with a dropkick to Alexis' face. Tina tagged Xochi back into the match, in which Xochi sent Alexis into a seated position with a snapmare, allowing Tina to run the ropes and hit Alexis with a running boot to the face. When Tina got back on the apron, Xochi mounted Alexis and hit her with multiple punches to the face before the referee pulled her off.
"The Sisterhood showing off the aggression that will be on full display at Cyber Sunday!" Beth exclaimed, as Xochi grabbed Alexis by the hair and started slamming her face into the ring canvas, before running the ropes and hitting Alex in the back of the head with a knee. Xochi then sat on Alexis' back and put her in a Camel Clutch while the crowd booed and Erza pounded on the top turnbuckle pad to will Alexis out of the hold.
"This Camel Clutch may spell the end for Alexis with the damage to the back and neck it's doing," Okabe explained, as Alexis attempted to crawl to the ropes, with the crowd clapping in rhythm with Erza. However, Xochi let the Camel Clutch go, hit her with multiple knees to the face, and dragged her back to the center of the ring before locking her back in the Camel Clutch, causing the crowd to boo as Tina and Clementine applauded as Xochi continued to stretch Alexis. However, the crowd cheered again as Erza ran into the ring and hit Xochi with the big boot, causing her to let go of Alexis before Erza grabbed Xochi by the hair and threw her out of the ring before dragging Alexis to her corner.
"Erza doing the smart thing, breaking Alexis out of that Camel Clutch!" Cornette exclaimed as Alexis tagged Erza into the match, causing the crowd to cheer as Erza ran off of the apron with a cannonball senton onto a now standing Xochi before throwing her back into the ring. Erza grabbed Xochi by the leg, but Tina was able to tag herself into the match, causing the crowd to boo as she tried to dive off of the top rope. However, Erza was able to counter this move by catching her with an Overhead Belly to Belly suplex. Erza ran the ropes and sent Xochi out of the ring with a clothesline before hitting Tina with multiple running elbows, a snap suplex, and ran the ropes to hit her with a running body press before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2
"And Erza is running wild in this match, taking out both Tina and Xochi!" Beth exclaimed as Clementine got onto the apron to try and distract Erza, but Erza was able to see her coming and knock her out of the ring with a running knee to the gut before running the ropes again and sending Tina inside out with the Swords Edge Clothesline (Meat Hook Clothesline) before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
Xochi was able to run into the ring, stomping on Erza's back before Alexis attempted to hit Xochi with a crossbody from the top rope, but Xochi was able to catch her and throw her out of the ring with a Fallaway Slam. Erza got up and attempted to throw Xochi out of the ring, but Tina was able to hit Erza with a chop block and a DDT before Xochi ran to the ropes and back to his apron before Tina went to Xochi and tagged her into the match.
"Xochi is back in the ring, looking to finish off this match!" Okabe exclaimed, as Xochi picked Erza up, kicked her in the gut, and attempted to hit her with the Jackknife Powerbomb. However, Erza was able to fight out of the hold and hit Xochi with a back body drop before quickly picking her up and attempting her Heaven's Wheel (Shell Shocked). However, Xochi jammed her fingers in Erza's eyes, allowing her to escape and Erza to stagger into the corner. Alexis ran up to the apron with her hand on her back and tagged herself in before running at Xochi with multiple punches to the head.
"Alexis all fired up against Xochi with those punches to the base of the skull!" Beth exclaimed before Alexis ran the ropes attempting a running crossbody, but Xochi countered that move into a Savate kick, sent Erza off of the apron with another Savate kick, and hit Alexis with a Jackknife Powerbomb before going for the pin.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, representing the Sisterhood of Darkness, Xochi, and Tina Belcher!" Justin Roberts announced before Clementine got into the ring and pushed Roberts out of the ring before she grabs Erza by the throat, picks her up, and hits her with a Chokeslam before rolling out of the ring and hitting Alexis with a Chokeslam onto the padded concrete. The crowd booed as Sherry and the rest of the Sisterhood of Darkness made their way to the ring.
"The Sisterhood of Darkness was able to win this match, but it seems like they're not done yet!" Beth exclaimed as the crowd cheered when Alex Vasquez ran from the back and tackled Sherry from behind and struck her with punches to the face. Before the other members of the Sisterhood could save Sherry, the other members of Team Alex came out from the crowd and attacked the Sisterhood, with Uraraka springboarding off of the top of the fan barricade and sending Ultear face-first into the steel ring post.
"Thank God for Alex and her team! Who knows what else the Sisterhood would've done to Erza and Alexis if they hadn't interfered!?" Cornette asked, as Haruko tackled Himiko and started elbowing her in the face. Asuka ran into the ring and chop blocked the back of Clementine's leg before mounting her with punches and elbows to the back of the head.
"Oh God! We might have to cut to commercial so that security can try and break these women up!" Okabe exclaimed, as the camera cut to commercial just as security started running down the aisle.
*Commercial Break*
*Commercial Over*
The camera panned to the locker room, where Todd Grisham and Valentino were talking about the tag team match.
"The 8 man tag is happening soon, do you have any ideas on who to get?" Todd asked, which Valentino responded to by shaking his head.
"No, I've been asking some of the wrestlers, but they're not really interested in helping me," Valentino said with a sigh. Todd put a comforting hand on Valentino's shoulder before Joe Wolf and Charlie Bonifer walked up to them with smirks on their faces.
"Well, well, well, look at this Bonifer. The love-struck fool can't even find someone to team up with him. The only other dork that would even give him the time of day was taken to the emergency room by Corvus," Joe mocked, as Bonifer laughed at Valentino and Grisham. Valentino got up from his chair and walked right up to Bonifer and Joe, while Todd tried to calm him down.
"Even if I can't find someone to team up with tonight, I could still beat you two without breaking a sweat!" Valentino exclaimed as Bonifer smirked before kneeling down to pick up another love note. Bonifer read the note and laughed before he ripped the note up apart and threw it in his face.
"We'll see about that, loser!" Bonifer exclaimed before pushing Valentino down to the floor as be and Joe left, laughing at Valentino's predicament. Todd offered his hand to help Valentino up, which he accepted.
"Val…are you sure that you can beat these guys without a partner?" Todd asked.
"Todd…I told them I could, and if I can't prove that, then all I would do is just give them and the fans more ammunition against me, so I don't know if I can do it, but I sure as hell am going to try!" Valentino exclaimed before leaving the locker room, while Todd nodded at Valentino's disappearing form.
"Go get 'em Val," Todd mumbled before he took a seat in the locker room as the camera panned to the ringside area, where a jobber by the name of Leon Lindsey was in the ring.
"Welcome back to the show ladies and gentlemen. Thankfully we finally got Team Alex and the Sisterhood of Darkness separated and out of the arena so we can get back to the regularly scheduled matches!" Cornette exclaimed as the Big Show's theme song played and Homer Simpson came down to the ring hi-fiving fans with a big smile on his face.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall. In the ring, Leon Lindsey, and his opponent, from Springfield Illinois, Homer Simpson!" Justin Roberts announced as Homer continued to make his way to the ring while the fans were cheering him on.
"Last week, Homer showed that he took offense to Stan's comments on foreigners and immigrants by knocking him out with a Hangover," Okabe explained as Homer got into the ring, causing Leon to slink into the corner.
"I hope he knocked a few teeth out of that racist's mouth," Beth mumbled before the bell rang. Leon ran at Homer with multiple punches to the gut, but it did not affect Homer as Homer grabbed Leon by the hair and hit him with the headbutt. Homer threw Leon into the corner and ran the ropes to hit a running hip attack onto Leon before throwing him out of the corner and to the other side of the ring, causing the crowd to cheer. Homer waited for Leon to get up, and when he did, Homer hit Leon with a Hangover (KO Punch) before going for the pin.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Homer Simpson!" Justin Roberts announced, causing the crowd to cheer as Homer put his hand up to the crowd.
"Well we were expecting this outcome, but hopefully this turns into a positive learning experience for young Leon," Cornette explained, as Stan Smith ran into the ring with his American flag and hit him multiple times in the back with the steel flagpole before hitting the back of his right knee multiple times with the same flagpole, causing the crowd to boo and chant 'racist' at him.
"And Stan Smith out here assaulting Homer with the steel flagpole!" Beth exclaimed as Stan put the flag in the corner and briefly saluted the American flag before locking Homer in the Ankle Lock.
"Stan getting revenge for that knockout punch Stan gave to him last week!" Okabe exclaimed as Stan let go of the hold, stepped on the back of Homer's neck, put his hand on his heart, and yelled out 'We The People!', causing the crowd to boo as he left the ring, leaving Homer to groan in pain and hold his leg.
"Well, the difference is that Stan deserved to get punched in the face!" Cornette countered, as the camera panned back to the interview area, where Jack Korpela was there with a microphone in his hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guests at this time, Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney, the Legacy," Korpela introduced before the camera panned to Sting and Rogue, with Sting looking elated.
"Now Sting, you have accepted Natsu's challenge for a one on one match tonight in the main event. Now I have to ask, why you decided to accept this challenge," Korpela asked. Sting and Rogue smirked before Sting took the microphone from Korpela and looked into the camera.
"I've wanted to fight Natsu for a long time now. And I not only get to do it but do it in the main event of Octane. We know that Natsu has a BTWF Championship match against Kaworu at Cyber Sunday, and quite honestly, that should go to the new blood in this industry like me and Rogue," Sting explained before Rogue took the microphone.
"And that is why Sting accepted the challenge. Me and Sting are some of the best young blooded talents in the entire Fanfiction Wrestling Multiverse, and it's time that the fans realize that we are the best and we deserve the main event spotlight like we're getting tonight," Rogue explained further before the two gave the microphone back to Korpela before leaving the interview area.
"Sting is practically oozing confidence heading into his main event match with #1 contender for the BTWF Championship, Natsu Dragoneel. Back to ringside for our next match!" Korpela exclaimed, as the camera panned back to the ring, where 'Sound of Madness' by Shinedown played, and the crowd booed as a cocky Age of Aggression came out and walked to the ring.
"The following 3 on 4 handicap match is scheduled for one fall. Making their way to the ring, from Toms River, New Jersey, Joe Wolf and Charlie Bonifer, the Age of Aggression!" Justin Roberts announced as the crowd continued to boo while Bonifer and Joe celebrated the perceived easy victory.
"These two really know how to be turds in the punchbowl. I mean, I don't blame Valentino for getting angry at these two bullies!" Beth exclaimed, as 'We Are One' by 12 Stones played, as the crowd's reaction turned mixed as Naruto and Sheldon Lee came out with their World Tag Team titles around their waists, and having the same cocky smiles that the Age of Aggression has on their face.
"And their opponents, representing the NWO, they are the BTWF World Tag Team Champions, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sheldon Lee!" Justin Roberts announced as the two rolled underneath the ring, as the two of them extended their hands to Bonifer and Joe.
"You have to wonder how the Tag Team Champions feel about teaming up with one of their potential challengers," Okabe wondered, as Bonifer and Joe ignored the handshake and patted the championships before walking away from their partners.
"Well after that display of disrespect, they're probably not going to enjoy it," Cornette replied, as 'Get Up and Dance' by Faber Drive played, causing the crowd to cheer and dance along with Eddy and Gene Belcher as they came out of the back dancing along to the beat of the song along with the fans in the audience.
"And their opponents first, the team of Eddy and Gene Belcher!" Justin Roberts announced as the two continued to dance their way to the ring. Just as Eddy and Gene got to the ringside area, Primo's WWE theme song played, causing the crowd to cheer louder, as Valentino came out with a focused glare aimed at the team in the ring, more specifically Bonifer and Joe.
"And their partner, from Monte Macabre, Mexico, Valentino Clavara!" Justin Roberts announced as the crowd continued to cheer as the three ran into the ring and confronted their opponents.
"Right away, you can see that Valentino's words have put his team at a disadvantage based on the number's game alone," Okabe explained, as the bell rang with Joe Wolf and Eddy starting the match. Eddy and Joe walked up to each other looking as though they were going to lock up, but Joe kicked Eddy in the stomach when he got close enough and put him in a headlock, much to the crowd's chagrin. Joe attempted to drag Valentino to his corner, but Val started punching him in the gut before Irish whipping him into the ropes. Joe ducked Valentino's attempted clothesline and attempted to hit a running headscissors, but Valentino was able to catch him and hit him with a sidewalk slam before putting Valentino in a headlock while the crowd was chanting his name.
"Valentino is very focused in this match, which I wouldn't expect given the notes he's been given and his troubles with finding a temporary partner," Cornette explained as Joe was able to fight out of the headlock by putting Valentino into a headscissors, causing the crowd to boo as Bonifer cheered him on. However, Valentino was able to get up to his feet and tag Eddy into the match before dropping Joe with an electric chair drop before Eddy dived off of the top rope with a double stomp, causing the crowd to cheer, before he went for the pin.

"Valentino showing that he can work well with more people than just Arnold Jackson," Okabe explained, as Joe was able to get his shoulder up. Eddy picked Joe up by the arm and put him in an armlock while Joe was still standing. Joe attempted to run into his corner, but Eddy started kicking him in the chest while still having him in the armlock. Joe responded with multiple punches to the face before kicking him in the knee and heading to his corner to tag Sheldon Lee into the match.
"I'm surprised that Joe went for one half of the tag team champions rather than his own partner," Beth noted, as Sheldon attempted to run at Eddy, but Eddy was able to counter with a dropkick to the face and picked him up by the arm and kicked him in the chest multiple times before tagging Gene into the match.
"Well Beth, Joe wants to damage Naruto and Sheldon Lee before their match at Cyber Sunday," Cornette explained, as Gene and Eddy grabbed both of Sheldon's arms, and lifted him over their heads, causing the crowd to cheer, before sending him down to the mat with a slam before Gene ran the ropes and hit a jumping elbow onto Sheldon before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2
"And with that slam from almost 10 feet in the air, Joe and Bonifer might get their wish!" Okabe exclaimed as Sheldon was able to kick out, which Gene responded to by picking Sheldon up and hitting him with multiple punches and Dusty elbows to the head before Irish whipping him into the corner and running after him with a running body splash. Gene then picked Sheldon up and hit him with a suplex that sent him back into his corner. Naruto leaned in and gave a blind tag that the referee saw, but Gene didn't as he was dancing for the fans. When Gene turned around and picked Sheldon up, Naruto snuck his way into the ring, and Gene responded by letting go and punching him in the face. However, Naruto was still able to keep Gene near the ropes by grabbing him by the head. Sheldon had gotten up and hit Gene with a running knee to the back, causing the crowd to boo.
"Naruto showing why he and Sheldon are the tag team champions of the world!" Cornette exclaimed as Naruto finally got into the ring and hit Gene with a back suplex before stomping on him. Naruto ran the ropes and hit Gene with a running knee drop to the face before picking him up and throwing him into the corner. Sheldon ran into the corner and grabbed Gene's right arm, allowing Naruto to run the ropes and hit Gene with multiple running elbows to the face before picking Gene up and hitting him with a scoop slam before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…
"You know if these two are one of the best tag teams in the BTWF, why do they need to cheat to get the advantage?" Beth asked as Sheldon ran back to the apron when Gene kicked out. Naruto picked Gene up by the hair and tagged Sheldon into the match. Naruto picked Gene up in a Fireman's Carry position, and Sheldon ran the ropes so that the two could hit a Flapjack/Leg Drop combination onto Gene before Sheldon went for another pin, this time hooking both of Gene's legs with his legs.
Ref: 1…2
"They don't 'need' to cheat Beth, they're just showing the BTWF fans that they have unparalleled teamwork," Okabe countered, as Sheldon put Gene in a headlock, causing the crowd to boo while he was laughing at the crowd and scraping the front of Gene's face with his wrist. The crowd cheered and clapped for Gene, while Gene attempted to get back to his feet. However, Sheldon was able to hit him with multiple elbows to the top of the head, sending him back down to his knees.
"Sheldon doing a good job of keeping Gene away from his corner," Cornette complimented, as Gene attempted once again to get back to his feet. This time, he was able to stay on his feet and hit Sheldon with a hip toss, causing the crowd to cheer. Gene tried to get to his corner, and Bonifer attempted to tag Sheldon, but Sheldon tagged Naruto instead, causing the crowd to start booing again.
"I understand the tension between these two teams, but they should at least wait until the match is over!" Beth exclaimed as Naruto started stomping on Gene's back before pulling him back to the center of the ring before grabbing both of his legs and locking Gene in a Boston Crab. Gene was screaming in pain as the fans continued to cheer and clap for Gene while he tried to drag himself to the ropes. Naruto attempted to drag him back to the center of the ring, but Gene was able to power himself up enough to crawl to the ropes and break the hold. The crowd cheered as the referee pushed Naruto away from Gene.
"Gene breaks the hold with the ropes, but has the damage already been done?" Okabe asked, as Naruto picked Gene up and hit him with several knife-edge chops before kicking him in the gut and attempting a Powerbomb. However, Gene was able to counter into a back body drop, but Naruto was able to land on his feet. Naruto attempted to grab Gene with a back suplex, but Gene punched him in the crown of the head and hit him with a Michinoku Driver before he made his way to the corner. Joe ran in and attempted to stop Gene, but it was too late and he had tagged Eddy much to the delight of the crowd, who springboarded into the ring with a dropkick that sent Joe rolling to the outside.
"And Eddy is back in this match, coming back with a fiery vengeance!" Beth exclaimed, as Eddy grabbed Naruto by the hair, and smashed his head into the top turnbuckle multiple times before turning him around and giving him multiple punches to the body and the head before running the ropes and hitting a dropkick to the face of Naruto before running the ropes again and hitting him with the Float Over DDT before running to the corner and hitting Sheldon with a running ax handle, sending him falling off of the apron.
"You're right about that Beth, Eddy is definitely on fire since being tagged back in and it doesn't seem like he can be stopped!" Cornette exclaimed, as Eddy ran the ropes and hit a Bank Roll (Rolling Thunder) onto Naruto before going for a pin.
Ref: 1…2
Joe rolled into the ring and kicked Eddy in the back, breaking the pin, while turning around and hitting Valentino with a superkick to the knee, causing him to fall off of the apron with his head rebounding off of the apron. The crowd booed as Joe attempted to hit Eddy with a Headlock Driver, but Eddy pushed him away, but Naruto was able to recover and hit Eddy in the face with a superkick before staggering to the corner, where Bonifer tagged himself in.
"Jim I think you just jinxed Eddy there," Okabe quipped, as Bonifer mounted Eddy and started punching him in the face until the referee pushed him off. Bonifer repeatedly stomped on Eddy's stomach before running the ropes and hitting a seated Eddy with a big boot and a jumping senton, before cackling at the booing fans and picking Eddy up by the hair. Eddy started punching Bonifer in the stomach multiple times, but Bonifer countered with multiple knees to the face before hitting him with a DDT and going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2
"Bonifer could've broken Eddy's neck with that brutal DDT!" Beth exclaimed, as Sheldon got back on the apron and told Bonifer to tag him back into the match. Bonifer cackled at him before tagging Joe back into the match, who had gotten back on the apron while Bonifer was attacking Eddy. Bonifer put Eddy upon his shoulders in a Fireman's Carry Position, before Joe ran the ropes, hitting Eddy with the Rocket Kick, allowing the Age of Aggression to hit the Boot of Doom onto Eddy before Joe went for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
Eddy kicked out and Joe pounded the apron in frustration before Joe put Eddy in an arm wringer and started elbowing his arm while the crowd booed and chanted 'Eddy!'
"And Eddy is now targeting the left arm of Eddy, possibly preparing for the Crossface!" Okabe exclaimed, as Joe threw Eddy into the steel ring post arm first before pulling him away from the post, put his left arm behind Eddy in a hammerlock, and hit him with a back suplex before going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2.
Joe immediately locked Eddy in a Fujiwara Armbar, causing the crowd to boo as Eddy started elbowing Eddy's arm while he tried to drag himself to the ropes. Bonifer started applauding Joe while Naruto and Sheldon Lee just glared at Joe. The crowd clapped for Eddy just as he started dragging himself to the ropes, and was able to grab the bottom rope causing the crowd to cheer as the referee pulled Joe off. Joe kicked Eddy in the arm and Irish whipped him and attempted a clothesline, but Eddy countered into a headscissors that sent Joe's head crashing into the middle turnbuckle as the crowd clapped and chanted for Eddy as he made his way to his corner.
"And Eddy is heading to his corner! Can he make the tag here!?" Cornette asked, as Sheldon ran into the ring and attempted to pull Eddy back to the center of the ring, but Eddy was able to turn himself on his back and push Sheldon away with his feet. Before Sheldon could jump and grab Eddy's ankles, he tagged Valentino into the match, causing the crowd to cheer.
"And now we get to see Valentino in this match for the first time since the start of this match!" Beth exclaimed, as Valentino grabbed Sheldon and threw him out of the ring before running at Joe with a twisting body press in the corner before hitting him with a standing back body drop. Valentino then knocked Naruto and Bonifer off of the apron with clotheslines, causing the crowd to stand and cheer before Val beat his chest while waiting for Joe to get back to his feet. When Joe stood back up, Valentino hit him with two clotheslines, threw Joe into the ropes and hit him with a Flapjack once he rebounded, picked Joe up and punched him in the gut, and ran to the ropes. Valentino springboarded off of the middle rope and hit Joe with a moonsault causing the crowd to cheer.
"Good lord! What a moonsault by Valentino!" Cornette exclaimed as Valentino went for the pin.
Ref: 1…2..
Naruto and Sheldon got into the ring and started stomping on Valentino, breaking the pin and causing Gene and Eddy to get into the ring and battle them. The two made their way out of the ring, and Valentino decided to throw Joe into the corner. Fueled by the crowd's cheers, Valentino ran into the corner for another body press, but Joe was able to move out of the way, causing Valentino's head to hit the top turnbuckle before Joe tagged Bonifer into the match, who immediately went into the corner and punched Valentino enough times to send him to the bottom turnbuckle.
"If Valentino was able to find a tag team partner for this match, he would be able to tag someone in while he recovers from having his brain scrambled, and have them take Bonifer on," Okabe noted, as Bonifer ran the ropes and hit Valentino with a running dropkick before picking him up and lifting him up for a Tombstone Piledriver. However, Valentino was able to slip out of the Piledriver attempt and hit him with a Wheelbarrow Suplex, causing the crowd to cheer before Valentino went to the top rope. While he did that, Joe saw that Eddy and Gene had taken out Naruto and Sheldon, and decided to run to the corner nearest to them and dive off the top rope with a crossbody, taking them both down.
"I did not expect to see a crossbody by Joe Wolf in this match, but we can't argue that it was successful!" Cornette exclaimed, as Valentino, still on the top rope, turned around, possibly indicating a moonsault. However, Joe Wolf got up and kicked Valentino in the face multiple times until he got off of the top rope before he went back up on the top rope and hit him with a diving headbutt, causing the crowd to boo. Bonifer was able to get back to his feet, grab Valentino by the hair, and hit him with a Stump Puller Piledriver before going for the pin.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, the team of Joe Wolf and Charlie Bonifer, the Age of Aggression and the BTWF World Tag Team Champions, representing the NWO, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sheldon Lee!" Justin Roberts announced as Joe and Bonifer celebrated in the ring, as the crowd booed the two laughing at a downed Valentino.
"Valentino did his best in this match, but the numbers game was just too much for him!" Beth exclaimed as Joe and Bonifer stepped over Valentino's back on their way out of the ring, causing the crowd to boo louder.
"Well, as I said before if he was able to find a partner, this probably wouldn't have happened," Okabe countered, as Bonifer noticed Naruto getting up and seeing them walk off. Before Naruto could react, Bonifer hit him with a boot to the face before he and Joe continued their way to the back.
"You make a good point there, Okabe, but hopefully Valentino will be able to find himself a partner by the time Cyber Sunday rolls around," Cornette responded, as the camera panned to a commercial break.
*Commercial Break*
*Commercial Over*
The camera panned back to the backstage area, where Valentino was sitting down in his locker room looking forlorn, before Todd Grisham walked in, with a sympathetic look on his face.
"Hey Val, I saw what happened out there. Sorry, you had to go there 3 on 4," Todd said. Valentino's mouth turned into a small smile before patting Todd on the back.
"Thanks, Todd that means a lot. Yeah, I did lose tonight, but one loss isn't going to prevent me from looking towards the future. And in that future-" Valentino responded before he was interrupted by Hollywood Hooligan, smirking and only wearing a towel around his waist.
"Let me tell you what the future holds; me, the Hollywood Hooligan, defeating that loser Hazama Clover at Cyber Sunday, rubbing it in the face of that dumb alley cat Kokonoe Mercury, and winning the BTWF Championship!" Hooligan exclaimed as Valentino glared at him.
"What do you want, Hooligan?"
"Oh, well what I wanted was to see the sadness on your face from losing…again!" Hooligan exclaimed, laughing while putting an arm behind Valentino's neck. "But anyway, I also wanted to tell Todd and everyone else that I'm still in the market for a valet. Kokonoe's aunt didn't return my calls, so that's her loss, but Val can you tell your Grandma to stop calling me? She's way too old and fat to be MY valet," Hooligan joked, causing Val to spring up to his feet, causing Hooligan to back off.
"Woah there, easy tiger. As much as I would love to mop the floor with you more than Charlie and Joe did a few minutes ago, I have a…special interview with a potential valet. Ciao," Hooligan said before he left the locker room, leaving Valentino and Todd in surprise.
"What…did he mean by 'special interview'?" Valentino asked. From the walls behind Valentino, he and Todd heard Hooligan breathing in and out while moaning. They also heard a high pitched nasally moan along with his.
"Well…they're either strangling kittens or having sex with each other," Todd responded. The two of them looked at each other as the moans grew louder. Todd and Valentino decided to leave the locker room as the camera panned to the commentators.
"Well it looks like she's having a successful audition, don't you think Beth?" Cornette asked while chuckling.
"Not funny, Jim," Beth mumbled out in annoyance, as Cody Rhodes' 'Smoke and Mirrors V2'played, causing the crowd to boo as Jerry applauded Clover coming out from the back.
"The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall. Making her way to the ring, accompanied by Jerry Lewis, from Beverly Hills California by way of Sainte-Mere-Eglise, France, Clover Lamoreaux!" Justin Roberts announced, causing the crowd to boo as Clover turned to look at the TitanTron, which turned into a mirror. However, before she could get a good look at herself, 'Ladies and Gentlemen' by Saliva played, and the TitanTron turned off as Akira Hayami made her way out from the back bathed in the light of a single spotlight.
"And her partner, from Tokyo Japan, she is the Spotlight of the Women's Division, Akira Hayami!" Justin Roberts announced as Clover attempted to yell at Akira, but she pushed Clover over and made her way to the ring.
"Folks, it has been confirmed during the commercial break that Misato Katsuragi will be back in action in tag team action," Cornette explained, as Akira walked to the ring, glaring at the fans booing at her. Clover and Jerry were talking with each other, possibly going over plans for the match.
"That's right Jim! The team of Akira Hayami and Clover Lamoreaux will take on Zia Simpson and Misato Katsuragi!" Beth exclaimed, as Clover rolled into the ring with Jerry applauding her while Akira jumped up onto the apron and jumped over the top rope, while the crowd continued to boo.
"I have to say that Clover and Akira have the advantage in this match. Not only does Clover have Jerry at ringside, but Misato hasn't been inside a wrestling ring in a long while, so the problem of ring rust could flare up," Okabe explained, as 'Fear Nothing' by CFO$ played, as the crowd cheered Zia running out of the back and getting onto her knees. Pillars of smoke shot out of the floor before she sprung back to her feet with both her arms pointing to the sky before she started running to the ring.
"And their opponents first, from Springfield Illinois, she is the Woman that Gravity Forgot, Zia Simpson!" Justin Roberts announced as the crowd cheered as Zia ran underneath the bottom rope and made her way to the corner, running up to the top rope, pointing both of her arms to the sky.
"Zia Simpson and Akira Hayami have been embroiled in a heated feud that got then banned from the arena last week!" Cornette exclaimed as Zia started jaw jacking with Akira, while Clover was leaning on the corner, continuing to speak to Jerry.
"And if anything, that just made their feud even more heated!" Beth exclaimed, as 'Lovepassionfuryenergy' by Boy Hits Car played throughout the arena, causing the crowd to cheer as Misato came running out from the back and continued to run to the ring, hi-fiving fans along the way to the ring.
"And her partner, from Japan, she is Misato Katsuragi!" Justin Roberts announced as Misato came into the ring and hi-fived Zia before she went onto the apron. Clover decided to start the match, as the bell rang. Clover attempted to grab Zia in an armlock, but Zia hit her with multiple Japanese arm drags and put Clover in an armlock of her own. The crowd cheered as Clover crawled her way to the ropes and put her foot on the ropes, causing the crowd to boo as Zia was forced to break the hold. Clover then tried to get a headlock on Zia, but Zia was able to dodge and throw Clover into the corner. Zia ran the ropes and hit Clover with a spinning leg lariat to Clover's face and picked her up in a suplex position. Zia flexed her free arm for the crowd before hitting her with a Falcon Arrow before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2
"Zia starting this match up fast and furious, not letting Clover get any chance at momentum!" Okabe exclaimed, as Clover kicked out and Zia responded by picking Clover up and hitting her with multiple European uppercuts. Zia attempted to grab Clover again, but Clover kneed her in the gut multiple times before running the ropes. Clover attempted a Lou Thesz press, but Zia was able to catch her, much to the crowd's surprise and delight, and hit her with a powerslam, before running the ropes and hitting Clover with a corkscrew splash before going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2
"Zia is doing well in the early goings of this match, but you have to wonder why she's making no attempt to tag Misato into the match," Beth wondered, as Zia picked Clover up, but Clover countered with a jawbreaker and pushed her away before she jumped into her corner and tagged Akira into the match.
"Zia knows that Misato isn't as young as she used to be and that she should really only be tagged in when she has no choice. Misato may say that she's ready, but that could just be her bravado talking," Okabe explained, as Zia got up noticing that Akira was now the legal woman. The two glared at each other as the crowd cheered and chanted for Zia, as the two started exchanging punches before Zia started hitting multiple elbows to Akira's head before running the ropes and hitting Akira with a dropkick to the knee. Now down to one knee, Zia ran the ropes and attempted a basement dropkick, but Akira was able to counter with a clothesline that sent her spinning 180 degrees.
"Good lord! That clothesline practically turned Zia inside out!" Cornette exclaimed, as Akira picked Zia up and hit her with multiple knees to the gut and tossed her into the corner. Akira ran at the corner attempting a running shoulder thrust, but Zia was able to move out of the way, causing Akira to hit her arm onto the turnbuckles before Zia pushed her further away with her feet and got up to the top rope. The crowd cheered as Zia dived off of the top rope with a hurricanrana that sent Akira down. Before she could go for the pin, she noticed that Clover was starting to get into the ring and kicked her in the face, sending her out of the ring before returning her attention to Akira. When Zia attempted to pick Akira up, Akira grabbed Zia's right hand and threw her out of the ring through the middle rope.
"That is some scary strength by Akira! She was able to throw Zia out of the ring with only one arm!" Beth exclaimed as Akira rolled underneath the ring onto the outside and grabbed Zia by the hair. Akira yelled at the booing fans before picking Zia up and dropping her face-first on the top of the fan barricade. Akira then started punching Zia in the stomach multiple times before throwing her into the steel ring apron face first, before she flexed for the crowd, causing the crowd to boo.
Ref: 1…2
"And Akira has taken firm control of this match, using the ring and the ringside area as a legal weapon!" Okabe exclaimed as Akira grabbed Zia. Zia attempted to fight out of the hold hitting her with elbows to the head before Akira threw her over her head with a Belly to Belly suplex before picking her up by the back of her shirt and throwing her into the steel ring steps before she started stomping on her.
Ref: 3…4…5
Akira threw Zia back into the ring before following her into the ring and hitting her with a jumping leg drop and going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2
"That leg drop by Akira was as beautiful as it was devastating!" Beth exclaimed, as Akira went to her corner and tagged Clover into the match. Before she went after Zia, Clover ran at Misato and knocked her off of the ring apron with a running double ax handle, causing the crowd to boo before she went after Zia with multiple knees to the back before turning her over and going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2
Clover picked Zia up by the hair and threw her into the corner before punching her multiple times in the face. Clover ran the ropes and hit Zia with a running kick to the face that sent her down to the bottom turnbuckle. Clover started choking Zia with her foot until the referee pulled her back, which allowed Akira to kick Zia in the face while Clover was arguing with the referee. Clover, once Akira was done with Zia, hit a running knee to Zia's face before dragging her to the center of the ring and going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
"That running knee into the corner by Clover wasn't enough to put Zia down for the three count," Okabe noted, as Clover put Zia in a headlock, yelling at Misato, who had gotten back on the apron and was yelling at Clover as well. Zia attempted to drag herself to the ropes, but Clover rolled her back to the middle of the ring and continued to apply the pressure as the crowd booed and chanted for Zia to break out the hold. Zia was able to get back to her feet after another minute and started punching Clover in the gut multiple times before Irish whipping Clover into the corner. Zia attempted to hit a running clothesline in the corner, but Clover countered with a kick to the face before tagging Akira back into the match.
"Misato looks like she's chomping at the bit to get into this match!" Beth exclaimed, as Akira picked up Zia and hit her with a Fallaway slam that sent her into the corner, causing the crowd to boo. Akira laughed at Misato's impatient look before she ran into the corner and hit Zia with a clothesline. However, she didn't get out of the corner and continued to hit standing clotheslines to the neck and face of Zia before she picked Akira up in a suplex position. Akira walked around the ring with Zia in that suplex position, flexing with her free arm like Zia did at the beginning of the match, causing the crowd to boo even louder. Zia started kneeing Akira in the face to try and free herself, but Akira dropped Zia midsection first into the ropes, causing her to hang off of the ropes midsection first before she ran the ropes and hit Zia with a knee drop that caused her to drop back into the ring before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2..
Zia barely rolled his shoulder out and Akira responded by putting Zia in a seated abdominal stretch, causing the crowd to boo as she started yelling in her ear that she's not going to make it to Cyber Sunday.
"This abdominal stretch may put Zia out for the count before Misato could even get into the ring!" Cornette exclaimed as Zia attempted to hit multiple elbows to the side of Akira's head. However, Akira countered this by clubbing Zia's chest multiple times before putting her in a crossface, causing the crowd to cheer for Zia and chant for her to break out of the hold. Zia was able to get to the ropes and grab the bottom rope with her right hand, forcing the referee to pull Akira off of her. Akira started arguing with the referee while Clover was yelling at the referee and the booing crowd before Akira grabbed Zia by the hair. However, Zia was able to break the grip, kick Akira in the knee, and hit her with a superkick to the side of the face, causing the crowd to cheer before she went down to all fours, crawling to tag Misato into the match.
"Zia was finally able to break the momentum of Akira and Clover, and she's heading for her corner!" Beth exclaimed as Akira attempted to tag Clover into the match as well. The fans chanted for Misato before Zia and Akira were finally able to get to their corners and tag their respective partners into the match, causing the crowd to explode when they saw Misato getting into the ring.
"And we'll finally see if Misato has the ring rust that you talked about earlier, Okabe!" Cornette exclaimed, as Misato ran at Clover with a hurricanrana, and when Clover got back to her feet, she hit two clotheslines, multiple punches to the face, and Irish whipped her into the corner. Misato clapped to the crowd, causing the crowd to cheer louder before Misato ran into the corner with a jumping clothesline onto Clover and hitting her with a Snap DDT before going for the pin.

"Misato doesn't look like she has ring rust right now, does she, Okabe?" Beth asked, with a smirk on her face as Misato picked Clover back up and attempted to kick her in the gut. Clover was able to block the kick and hit her with a knee to the face before hitting her with a snap suplex, putting her in a seated position, and ran the ropes to hit a knee to the back of Misato. Clover then stepped on Misato's head and posed, causing the crowd to boo. However, the crowd started to cheer as Misato grabbed Clover's foot and tripped her up before running the ropes and hitting a jumping Boom Drop onto Clover's chest before going for the pin.

The crowd booed as Akira posed with her arms outstretched before Zia got onto the top rope and hit her with a missile dropkick that sent Akira staggering to the ropes before Zia hit Akira with a Cactus Clothesline that sent Akira out of the ring. Zia was able to stay in the ring by skinning the cat. Zia went back to the apron, as Akira staggered near the fan barricade and, much to the crowd's delight, went up to the top rope and dived off the top rope with a Cannonball Senton, sending the both of them crashing through the fan barricade, causing the crowd to cheer and chant 'Holy Shit!'

"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, the team of Akira Hayami and Clover Lamoreaux!" Justin Roberts announced as Clover kicked a downed Misato in the head and rolled out of the ring, pulling Jerry along with her while ringside trainers were checking on Akira and Zia.
"This has to be one of the biggest wins of Clover's career!" Okabe exclaimed as he smirked at Cornette and Beth.
"It does have to be because Misato is a legend! But I think the bigger story is that Akira and Zia are still down after that Cannonball dive through the fan barricade!" Beth exclaimed as she pointed out the trainers still looking over Zia and Akira.
"We'll have to see how this will affect their match at Cyber Sunday with potential injuries or even more bad blood added onto after that brutal dive!" Cornette exclaimed as Clover continued to celebrate on the stage with Jerry as the camera panned to the TitanTron, with Zoey Hanson looking into the camera with a steely glare.
"At Cyber Sunday, I'm finally going to get a one on one opportunity for the BTWF World Women's Championship against Rei Ayanami. This may be a match where the loser will be humiliated in front of a live crowd, but it will all be worth it to hold that Women's Championship. Rei, I do respect you as a wrestler, but make no mistake, by the end of Cyber Sunday, I will be the one holding the Women's Championship and the face of this division!" Zoey exclaimed as the camera panned to a commercial break.
*Commercial Break*
*Commercial Over*
The camera panned to BTWF World Women's Champion, Rei Ayanami, standing in a room similar to where Zoey was standing, while she was holding her championship over her shoulder.
"Zoey is a fantastic athlete. There is a reason she became the #1 contender for my championship. I know this will not be an easy battle, and she knows it will not be easy. But there is no doubt in my mind that I will retain the championship. I wanted to send my deepest apologies to Zoey in advance, as she will, unfortunately, be the one to be humiliated at Cyber Sunday," Rei explained, as the camera panned back to the stage, where 'Legacy' by Adelitas Way played, causing the crowd to boo as Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney came out to the ring, looking as confident as ever.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring, from Magnolia Fiore, accompanied by his partner Rogue Cheney, representing the Legacy, Sting Eucliffe!" Justin Roberts announced as the crowd booed Sting strutting to the ring with Rogue massaging Sting's shoulders as he continued his way to the ring.
"This should be an excellent match tonight, do you all not agree?" Kaworu Nagisa asked the commentary team with his BTWF Championship on the announcers' table.
"It should be, Mr. Nagisa. Oh, ladies and gentlemen, we have the BTWF Champion here on commentary so that he could see this match," Okabe explained, as he and Kaworu shook hands.
"Thank you, Mr. Okabe. It is nice to see that this commentary table has some air of intelligence to it, especially with those two…country bumpkins that are here at the table," Kaworu responded, causing Cornette and Beth to glare at him before Sting rolled into the ring while Rogue walked up to the commentary table, shaking hands with Kaworu before taking with Sting about strategy before 'War' by the Sick Puppies played as the crowd cheered Natsu coming out of the back.
"And his opponent, from Magnolia Fiore, Natsu Dragoneel!" Justin Roberts announced as the crowd continued to cheer as Natsu hi-fived the fans before he started trash talking Sting who was smirking in the corner.
"Mr. Dragoneel should not be taking Mr. Eucliffe lightly. I have seen him wrestle and he is a fantastic athlete," Kaworu noted, as the bell rang once Natsu got into the ring. Sting and Natsu circled each other, trying to will the other to start.
"Well smartass, he clearly isn't taking him lightly right now," Cornette countered, still mad about the 'country bumpkin' remark. Sting and Natsu finally locked up in the middle of the ring. Sting was able to push Natsu into the corner, causing the crowd to boo. While Rogue was celebrating, the referee tried to tell Sting to back off, and when he did, Sting patted Natsu on the head before turning his back to celebrate. Natsu responded by running out of the corner and put Sting in a headlock from behind, causing the crowd to cheer, as Sting attempted to get to the ropes.
"Hey, Nagisa, what were you saying about Natsu not taking this seriously? Sting distracted himself and allowed Natsu to take control," Beth agreed, also mad at Kaworu's previous comments. Natsu was able to take Sting down to the ground with the headlock still on, and Sting was able to counter it into a headscissors, causing the crowd to boo. Sting propped his chin onto his hand while his elbow was on the canvas, but Natsu was able to counter the headscissors into another headlock, causing the crowd to cheer. Sting was able to get back to his feet and Irish whip him off of the ropes and attempted to hit him with a clothesline, but Natsu was able to duck, and when he rebounded off of the rope again and hit Sting with a running crossbody before going for the pin.

"I will admit, Mr. Cornette and Mrs. Vanderwood, that Natsu has taken advantage of Sting's egotistical celebration very well," Kaworu admitted, as Natsu picked Sting up and hit him with a leg lariat to the face before putting him in the corner and hitting him with multiple shoulder thrusts into the corner. Natsu hit Sting with a knife-edge uppercut to the throat before backflipping away from the corner and running back to Sting with a spear into the corner, holding onto him before hitting him with a Northern Lights Suplex and going for another pinfall.
Ref: 1…2
Sting rolled his shoulder out and rolled out of the ring, and tried to regroup with Rogue on the outside.
"And now Sting is taking a break from the match to talk strategy with Rogue," Okabe noted, as Natsu looked at them before he got the crowd to clap with him before he ran the ropes and hit a springboard senton onto the outside, hitting both Sting and Rogue and taking them down, causing the crowd to cheer and chant for Natsu.
"And that strategy meeting has come to an end at the hand of that dive by Natsu!" Beth exclaimed, as Natsu grabbed Sting by the hair and threw him into the steel stairs before throwing him back into the ring and started yelling at Kaworu.
"I know you are upset at me taking your championship Mr. Dragoneel, but you should really focus on your match," Kaworu responded before pointing to the ring with the referee beginning to count.
Ref: 1…2…3
Natsu turned away from Kaworu and attempted to get back into the ring, but Sting was distracting the referee. While the referee was distracted, Rogue pulled Natsu off of the ring apron and hit him with a clothesline, causing the crowd to boo before Rogue moved to another part of the ring.
"And another genius move by the Legacy to take out the #1 contender to the BTWF Championship!" Okabe exclaimed as Kaworu clapped while Sting rolled out of the ring and picked Natsu up and threw him back into the ring. When Sting went back into the ring, he mounted Natsu and started punching him in the face while Rogue was applauding him before Sting picked Natsu up and hit him with a snap suplex and ran the ropes before hitting him with a knee drop to Natsu's forehead before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2
Natsu kicked out, and Sting responded by throwing him into the corner and stomping his gut before putting him on the top turnbuckle. Sting celebrated his momentum gain in the match by running to Rogue and hi-fiving him.
"And once again, Sting is getting distracted from his goal of defeating Natsu!" Beth exclaimed as Sting ran back to Natsu, but Natsu countered him with a kick to the face, causing him to go back. Natsu then balanced himself on the top rope and dived off of the top rope with a Cannonball. However, Sting was able to catch Natsu with a Powerbomb. The crowd booed as Sting ran into the corner, Powerbombing Natsu into the corner before picking him up again and hitting him with a Spinning Sit-Out Powerbomb and going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"That was a nice catch by Sting, but it still wasn't enough to put Natsu away!" Cornette exclaimed, as Sting picked Natsu up by the hair, and used the ropes to choke him until the referee pushed him off. While the referee was distracted, Rogue ran up to Natsu and punched him in the face, allowing Sting to go behind Natsu and hit him with a Saito Suplex before Sting went up to the middle rope and hit him with an elbow drop before grabbing Natsu's legs and putting him in a single leg Boston Crab, causing the crowd to boo while they chanted for Natsu to break out of the hold.
"And now Sting has Natsu locked in a single leg Boston Crab, stretching out the back of Natsu!" Okabe exclaimed as Natsu attempted to drag himself to the ropes.
"I do not believe that Mr. Dragoneel can break out of this hold. Mr. Eucliffe has the Boston Crab locked in tightly," Kaworu said, as Sting started stomping on Natsu's back and the back of his head before dragging him back to the center of the ring. Sting then started pushing his knee into the back of Natsu's head, much in the same vein of Chris Jericho's Liontamer.
"That knee to the back of Natsu's head not only will cause more pain to the head and neck but also makes it harder for Natsu to breathe," Okabe explained, as Natsu started elbowing Sting's legs, trying to get him to loosen the grip on the single-leg Boston Crab. Sting didn't seem to notice these hits as he continued to stretch him. Natsu then started crawling to the ropes again, causing the crowd to cheer as Sting tried to keep him in the middle of the ring.
"I don't mean to lose track of this match, but weren't you trying to sue the BTWF or something so that you wouldn't have to wrestle in the 2 out of 3 falls match at Cyber Sunday?" Beth asked in a mocking tone while Natsu continued to crawl to the ropes, with the crowd behind him.
"I originally was, Mrs. Vanderwood, but I decided that I would not go forward with the lawsuit and defeat him at his own game," Kaworu explained, as Natsu was finally able to get to the ropes, causing the crowd to cheer as he held on to the bottom rope with both of his hands. Sting sighed as he was forced to let go before he dragged Natsu back to the center of the ring. However, Natsu was able to push Sting away from him with his legs, causing the crowd to cheer as Natsu staggered back up with a hand on his back.
"And Natsu may have gotten back into this match!" Cornette exclaimed as Sting attempted to run at Natsu, but Natsu countered by grabbing him and hitting him with the Stun Gun before keeping him up to hit him with a spin kick. The crowd cheered as Natsu ran into the corner to get his breath back as Sting got back up with his hand on his throat while Rogue was banging on the mat to get him back into the match. When Sting got back up, Natsu ran back at him and hit him with two clotheslines, a superkick to the gut, ran the ropes and hit a Rolling Thunder DDT. Natsu then ran the ropes and hitting a Rolling Fire (Rolling Thunder) onto Sting before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
Sting rolled his shoulder out and Natsu responded by grabbing the top rope and springboarding off of the ropes to hit Sting with a split-legged moonsault onto Sting's gut. Natsu then attempted to go up to the top rope, and while he was trying to find his balance, Sting got back up to his knees and hits the ropes, causing Natsu to trip and fall off of the top rope, causing the crowd to boo. Sting then picked Natsu up with both of his legs and hit him with the Alabama Slam before picking Natsu up again, slapping him in the face, and springboarding off the 2nd rope with the Sting Ray (Beautiful Disaster) before going for another pin, using the ropes for leverage.
Ref: 1…2..
"Natsu barely able to kick out of that devastating Sting Ray kick!" Beth exclaimed, as Sting pounded the mat in frustration before pulling Natsu up by the hair, and put him in position for the Holy Light (Cross Rhodes). However, Natsu was able to fight out of it with multiple kicks to the knee before Natsu throwing Sting into the corner chest first.
"And with that, I believe that it is time for me to depart," Kaworu said, before putting down his headset and grabbed his championship before running into the corner, and yelling at Natsu while Rogue climbed to the apron to distract Natsu as well while he was attempting to run at Sting.
"And of course Kaworu has to help the Legacy cheat Natsu out of a win!" Beth complained, as Natsu ran the ropes and hit Rogue with a jumping spin kick that knocked Rogue into Kaworu, sending them both down much to the crowd's delight.
"I hope they didn't ruin Kaworu's robe! That is a very expensive piece of fabric!" Okabe exclaimed as the crowd cheered as Natsu attempted another run into the corner, but Sting was able to counter with a back kick to the gut before climbing up to the top rope and when he balanced himself on the top rope, he dived off the top rope with a moonsault. However, Natsu was able to catch him on his shoulders, causing the crowd to cheer before hitting him with a Powerslam.
"What a catch be Natsu! And the drop was just as eye-catching!" Cornette exclaimed as Natsu jumped up to the top rope, and with the crowd behind him, dived off of the top rope with the Five Star Dragon Splash (Five Star Frog Splash) onto Sting before going for the pin.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Natsu Dragoneel!" Justin Roberts announced, as Rogue got back to his feet and dragged Sting out of the ring while Natsu got onto the top rope to celebrate.
"Natsu with the impressive victory here tonight, building some serious momentum heading into his 2 out of 3 falls match for the BTWF Championship!" Beth exclaimed, as Kaworu got back to his feet, grabbing the BTWF Championship from the floor and walking away from the ring.
"Meanwhile, it looks like Kaworu wants to be in the best condition possible heading into a match that is all about endurance!" Okabe countered, as Natsu held the middle ropes down with his legs, inviting Kaworu to come into the ring to fight. Meanwhile, Rogue started yelling at the cheering fans while dragging Sting underneath his arm back to the stage.
"But it looks like Natsu still wants a fight before Cyber Sunday!" Cornette exclaimed, as Kaworu shook his head and chuckled before he turned and followed Legacy to the backstage area as Natsu shook his head and continued to celebrate with the fans as the camera faded to black.
