BTWF Christmas Chaos (Day 1 Part 1)
'Merry Axe-Mas' by Ice Nine Kills played, causing the crowd to cheer and chant 'BTWF' as the pyro went off from the sides of the TitanTrons and the stage. The camera panned around the stage, showing off the various Christmas decorations, such as several Christmas trees placed on the sides of the stage, Christmas lights draped all over the props, stage, TitanTrons, and even some presents on the floor. The camera then panned to the commentary team, who were decked out in ugly Christmas sweaters.
"Welcome to Christmas Chaos ladies and gentlemen! We are here live from Chicago Illinois for our end-of-the-year PPV extravaganza! Calling the action, I'm Jim Cornette alongside Beth Vanderwood and Rintaro Okabe!" Cornette introduced as Beth and Okabe waved at the camera as the crowd continued to cheer and chant 'BTWF!'
"Thanks for that energetic introduction Jim, but with the card we have planned here tonight, we can't blame you for getting excited!" Beth exclaimed as Okabe nodded and clapped his hands together before he began talking.
"We have a Women's Lethal Lockdown match in the main event, a Triple Decker Cage match for the BTWF Championship, a First Blood Match for the BTWF Women's Championship, and much more tonight!" Okabe exclaimed as Blake and Murphy's 'Action Packed' theme song played, causing the crowd to boo as Manny confidently strutted out of the back with El Oso following him from behind.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the BTWF World Tag Team Championships! Introducing the challengers, from Miracle City Mexico, they are the team of El Oso and 'the One and Only' Manny Rivera!" Tim Barr announced as the crowd booed louder when Manny got on one knee and raised a fist while Oso flexed right behind him. Manny jumped up to his feet and patted Oso on the chest before the two made their way down the entranceway.
"And what better way to start off a PPV than with some good old-fashioned tag team title match!?" Cornette asked as Manny looked over at the booing fans, and laugh at them before he turned around, continuing to walk with his back facing the camera as he hyped up Oso for their title match. When they got to the ringside area, Manny jumped up so that he could hi-five Oso before Manny rolled into the ring from underneath the bottom rope.
"Manny, Frida's ex-boyfriend, has been rubbing it in the champions' faces that he was going to be taking the belts before this match even happened," Beth explained as the crowd continued to boo while Oso walked up the steel steps. Oso then walked over the top rope and into the middle of the ring, where Manny was back on one knee, flexing his arms while telling the crowd they were looking for the new BTWF World Tag Team Champions.
"While Manny was gone from TV, he's grown a massive ego, but it has led to victories and success, so there's a reason he has that ego," Okabe noted as Oso raised his fist in the air, with Manny telling them that Oso was going to crush the BTWF World Tag Team Champions. When Manny got to his feet, the camera panned back to the stage as 'Heroes of Today' by Once Monsters played, causing the crowd to cheer as Valentino and Bam came running out of the back with their championships and valets in tow.
"And their opponents, accompanied to the ring by Frida Suarez and Rachel Light, they are the BTWF World Tag Team Champions, the team of Valentino Calavera and Bam!" Tim Barr announced as the crowd continued to cheer while Rachel glared at the ring announcer for putting Frida's name before hers. Valentino and Bam hi-fived fans while Valentino was trying to keep the championship over his shoulder.
"There's nothing Frida would love more than her boyfriend and his tag team partner to humiliate her ex Manny Rivera on live PPV!" Beth exclaimed as Bam and Valentino stopped at the ringside area, and hi-fived each other before rolling into the ring from underneath the bottom rope at the exact same time. The two then kipped up at the same time, and after Bam took the BTWF World Tag Team title belt off of his waist, he and Valentino raised their championships up at the same time.
"Valentino and Bam have had some surprising amount of chemistry together for a team that has only been in business for a few months," Cornette explains as Bam and Valentino handed the BTWF World Tag Team Championship belts to the referee, allowing the referee to raise the belts up to show the fans what these two teams are fighting for. Once the referee handed the belts to the ringside attendant, the referee told the timekeeper to ring the bell to start the match. Once the match started, Valentino grabbed Manny by the hair, threw him into the corner, and hit him with multiple forearms to the side of the head.
"This match is underway, and Valentino is immediately taking it to Manny with some hard forearms!" Okabe exclaimed as Valentino sent Manny jumping out of the corner with a Knife-Edge Chop across the chest. Valentino then picked Manny back up and hit him with several Frying Pan Chops to the chest before throwing Manny into another corner. The crowd continued to cheer as Valentino ran into the corner, and hit Manny with a Running Corner to the throat before sending Manny crashing to the center of the ring with a Monkey Flip before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…
"Valentino trying to go for a quick pin, but Manny is still in this match!" Beth exclaimed as Valentino grabbed Manny's arm, pulled him into his corner, and tagged Bam back into the match. Manny immediately kicked away at Valentino's arm before attempting to run into his corner to tag in El Oso, but Valentino was able to roll in front of Manny, blocking his way to the corner. The crowd cheered as Bam climbed up to the top rope, allowing him to dive off of the top rope, and hit a Diving Crossbody to the back, sending Manny crashing to the canvas face first.
"What a Crossbody by Bam! You don't see a Crossbody to the back every day!" Cornette exclaimed as Bam picked Manny up by the chin, and started punching him in the side of the head. Bam then Irish whipped Manny into the ropes, but when Bam attempted to hit a Back Body Drop, Manny kicked Bam in the face before attempting to run to tag in El Oso. Bam is able to stop this by taking Manny down with a Waistlock Takedown before hitting him with multiple punches to the side of the head.
"Bam and Valentino are doing the smart thing and keeping Manny away from El Oso as much as they can so that they can prevent that Goliath from entering the ring," Okabe explained as Bam picked Manny up, and hit him with a Snap Vertical Suplex before tagging Valentino back into the match. The crowd cheered as Valentino picked Bam up in a Suplex position, and sent him crashing down onto Manny by hitting Bam with a Gourdbuster. The crowd continued to cheer as Bam rolled out of the ring, and Valentino hit a Jumping Leg Drop across Manny's throat.
"And this allows Bam and Valentino to use their quick tags to damage their challengers," Cornette continued as Valentino ran the ropes, and hit a Jumping Headbutt to the chest of Manny, much to Frida's delight on the outside, before going for another pin, hooking both of Manny's legs.
Ref: 1…2
Valentino picked Manny up, and hit him with several punches to the gut of Manny, before throwing him back into the corner, tagging Bam back into the match. Valentino hi-fived Bam before getting on all fours, allowing Bam to run the ropes, and use Valentino's back as a Springboard before hitting Manny with a Hesitation Dropkick to the face. The crowd continued to cheer as Bam sent Manny down on the floor with a Snapmare, and springboarded off of the middle rope to hit an Elbow Drop to Manny's chest.
"Manny hasn't been able to get anything going in this match, showing just how well Bam and Valentino's strategy is working," Beth explained as Bam picked Manny up and hit him with several forearms to the side of the head before tagging Valentino back into the match. Bam Irish whipped Manny into the ropes but made sure to Irish whip him vertically to prevent Oso from interfering. Bam sent a rebounding Manny down with a Frankensteiner, allowing Valentino to hit a Standing Shooting Star Press onto Manny before going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2.
Manny attempted to roll out of the ring, but Valentino wagged his finger before grabbing Manny by the hair while he was on the ring apron. However, the crowd booed as Oso attempted to walk into the ring, but the referee told him to get back onto the apron.
"El Oso finally getting a part to play in this match, giving Manny some reprieve while distracting Valentino," Okabe noted as Valentino walked closer to Oso, but Manny grabbed Valentino's arm, and dropped down to the ground, causing Valentino's shoulder and the side of his neck to crash into the top rope. The crowd booed as Valentino fell onto his knees while holding his arm before Manny climbed back onto the ring apron, and springboarded back into the ring with the One Final Beat DDT.
"Manny finally hitting some offense in this match, showing that Oso doesn't need to overpower his opponents to benefit Manny!" Cornette exclaimed as Manny stomped on Valentino's back and arm multiple times before tagging Oso into the match. The crowd booed as Oso grabbed Valentino, put his arms behind his back, and allowed Manny to hit him with several kicks to the chest. Manny rolled onto the apron, allowing Oso to start stomping on Valentino's chest and arm hard before grabbing Valentino's right arm. Oso then deadlifted Valentino back to his feet by the arm, and then lifted him off of the mat by the same arm.
"Oso giving us a major demonstration of his strength, keeping Valentino off of the ground only holding him by his arm!" Beth exclaimed as Manny applauded Oso as he continued holding Valentino off of the ground. Oso then threw Valentino onto the ground, causing the crowd to boo louder as Oso pushed his foot into Valentino's chest. The crowd continued to boo as Oso got off of Valentino, and picked him back up before throwing him into the corner. Oso hit Valentino with multiple Back Elbows to the side of Valentino's head before tagging Manny back into the match.
"Oso did his job, and now Manny's all too happy to pick the bones of a dazed Valentino," Okabe explained as Manny got into the corner, and started stomping on Valentino's gut while Oso held Valentino in the corner by the throat. Oso let Valentino go, allowing Manny to hit a Jumping Spin Kick to the side of Valentino's head before throwing him down with a Japanese Arm Drag. Manny then playfully slapped Valentino in the back of the head a couple of times before hitting Valentino with a Dropkick to the back of the head before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2
"Valentino kicks out, but you can see here that Valentino is still dazed from those back elbows my Oso," Cornette noted as Manny brought Valentino on his knees, before hitting him with multiple punches to the side of the head. The crowd continued to boo as Manny outstretched his arms, and winked at a disgusted Frida, before running the ropes, and hitting a Running Kick to the chest of Valentino. Valentino attempted to grab at Manny's tights, but Manny kicked at Valentino's right arm before hitting him with a Jumping Kick to the side of the head.
"And it also looks like that Manny is targeting the arm he sent into the ring ropes," Okabe noted as Manny grabbed Valentino's arm and dragged him to the ropes while stretching his arm over the middle rope. Frida tries to encourage Valentino from the outside, but Manny responded by laughing and insulting her before draping Valentino's head over the middle rope. Manny ran the ropes and jumped over Valentino to hit him with a Guillotine Leg Drop before pushing Valentino away from the ropes, and hitting him with a Springboard Senton to the chest before going for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…2.
"Another close call, but Valentino is able to survive, keeping the titles on himself and Bam for now," Beth explained as Manny stomped on Valentino's right arm a few times before tagging Oso back into the match. Manny slapped Valentino in the face, and Valentino attempted to grab at Manny, but Oso grabbed Valentino by the hair, and hit him with a Headbutt to the back of the head, sending him back on the floor. Manny stomped on Valentino's face before leaving the ring, allowing Oso to come in, and hit a Jumping Elbow Drop to the chest of Valentino.
"Oso has only hit Valentino a few times, but those hits are clearly having a lasting effect on Valentino," Okabe noted as Oso grabbed Valentino's right arm, and kicked the arm several times before picking Valentino back up. The crowd booed as Oso hit several punches to Valentino's gut before sending Valentino running into the ropes, and when he rebounded, Oso knocked Valentino down with a Clothesline that had enough force to send Valentino twisting in the air. Valentino attempted to quickly get back to his feet, and Oso responded by grabbing Valentino and sending him crashing down to the ground with a Spinebuster before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2..
Oso stepped over Valentino's chest and tagged Manny back into the match. Manny then climbed up onto Oso's shoulders, and hit Valentino with a Diving Leg Drop across the throat, causing the crowd to boo as Manny got on one knee, and flexed his arms while Oso raised his fist.
"What a leg drop by Manny! I'd be surprised if Valentino is even conscious after that!" Beth exclaimed as Manny, rather than go for the pin, playfully kicked Valentino in the side of the head, before grabbing Valentino's right arm and putting him in a Keylock. The crowd booed as Bam got the crowd to clap in rhythm to try and get Valentino back into the match, which caused Manny to tell the crowd to shut up as he punched Valentino's trapped arm. After a minute in the hold, Valentino started getting back on his feet, causing the crowd to cheer as Valentino started punching Manny in the gut.
"Valentino's somehow still fighting, trying to loosen the hold Manny has on his locked arm!" Okabe exclaimed as Manny hit Valentino with a Riott Kick before sending Valentino back to his knees with a Double Knee Armbreaker. The crowd continued to boo as Manny ran the ropes, and hit Valentino in the face with a Shining Wizard before going for another pin, hooking both of Valentino's legs back.
Ref: 1…2..
Manny pounded the mat in frustration before running up to the top turnbuckle in the corner, causing the crowd to boo as Manny flipped off the crowd, specifically Frida, causing Rachel to turn her head and chuckle. Manny attempted to hit a Corkscrew Moonsault, but Valentino was able to move out of the way, causing Manny to crash right into the mat face first.
"And Manny goes high risk, but there wasn't any water in the pool! Can Valentino get to his corner before Manny reaches El Oso!?" Cornette asked as Manny tried to start crawling to his corner, but the crowd cheered as Valentino used his legs to tie him and Manny together. Manny tried to fight it off as Valentino crawled to his corner, and just as Oso started walking into the ring, Valentino tagged Bam into the match. The crowd cheered as Valentino let go of Manny, allowing Bam to grab him, and ram his head into Oso's head several times.
"Thanks to some quick thinking by Valentino, Manny is still the legal man in this match against Bam!" Beth exclaimed as Bam punched Manny in the face hard enough to send him down. Bam noticed Oso was draped over the middle rope by his midsection and springboarded off of the middle rope to hit an RVD-Style Twisting Leg Drop across the back of Oso's neck, causing him to roll off of the apron. The crowd continued to cheer as Manny got back to his feet while holding his head, and Bam hit Manny with two Running Clotheslines, a Jumping Back Elbow, an Atomic Drop, and a Corkscrew Neckbreaker onto Manny before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Bam trying to go for a quick pin while Oso is dazed on the outside, which has to be a strategy that Rachel went over with him!" Okabe exclaimed as Bam picked Manny up, and hit him several punches to the face before Manny hit him with a shot to the throat, causing the crowd to boo as Manny kicked Bam in the knee a couple of times, and ran the ropes to attempt a Springboard Crossbody from the middle rope, but Bam was able to see this coming, and counter with a Snap Powerslam.
"What a counter by Bam! He nearly sent Manny through the ring with that Powerslam!" Cornette exclaimed as Bam told the crowd that the match was over, and started climbing up the rope, going for the End of the World (Split-Legged Corkscrew Moonsault). However, when he got up to the top turnbuckle, Oso got back onto the apron, and hit Bam with a hard Knife-Edge Chop across the chest, causing Bam to fall into a Tree of Woe position. The crowd continued to boo as Manny got back to his feet, stomped on an upside-down Bam, and then ran the ropes to hit Bam with a Running Knee to the chest.
"And Oso nearly turned Bam's chest to powder with that Chop, and if that didn't do it, Manny's Running Knee sure did!" Beth exclaimed as Manny grabbed a downed Bam, and hit him with a Snap DDT before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2..
Manny looked shocked at the result of the pin, and tagged Oso back into the match, causing the crowd to boo as Oso grabbed Bam by the hair, and threw him into the corner before running into the corner and hitting Bam with a Running Body Avalanche. The crowd continued to boo as Oso grabbed Bam by the throat, and threw him back to the center of the ring.
"Oso is back in the match, completely overpowering Bam like he did on Intensity!" Okabe exclaimed as Oso picked Bam up again, and hit him with a Gutbuster, before picking him back up and hitting him with a Backbreaker. Oso ran the ropes and hit a Jumping Leg Drop across the throat of Bam before going for the pin, pushing both of his hands down on Bam's chest.
Ref: 1…2..
Bam barely rolled his shoulder off of the mat, and Oso shook his head, telling him that he shouldn't have done that. Oso picked Bam up in a Military Press, attempting to hit him with the Military Press Powerslam, but Rachel got onto the apron. The crowd cheered as Rachel yelled at Oso, distracting him and the referee, and while the referee and Rachel were arguing, Valentino rolled into the ring and hit Oso in the back multiple times with a steel chair. The crowd cheered as Bam jumped off of Oso's shoulders, and hit Oso in the side of the head with a Running Knee to the side of the head.
"Valentino taking advantage of the referee being distracted, finally bringing Oso down to one knee!" Cornette exclaimed as Valentino hit Oso in the side of the head with the chair before throwing it out of the ring just as the referee turned back around. Bam stomped on Oso multiple times before tagging Valentino back into the match, causing the crowd to cheer as Valentino and Bam ran the ropes. The two springboarded off of the middle ropes on opposite sides of the ring, hitting Oso with a Springboard Leg Drop from Bam and a Springboard Moonsault from Valentino before Valentino went for the pin.
Ref: 1…2..
Manny springboarded into the ring and hit Valentino with a Springboard Elbow Drop to the back. The crowd booed as Manny went back to the apron as Oso started getting back to his feet, coughing while holding his chest before tagging Manny into the match.
"Manny is back in, and Valentino is down thanks to that beautiful Springboard Elbow Drop!" Okabe narrated as Manny grabbed Valentino, and attempted to pick him up for the Cross-Legged Michinoku Driver. However, Valentino was able to break out of the hold by elbowing Manny a few times in the side of the head before landing behind him and hitting him with a German Suplex. Oso tried to get back into the ring, but Bam ran the ropes, and hit Oso with a Triangle Dropkick, sending him staggering off of the apron.
"Bam taking Oso off of the apron! He just gave Valentino the best opportunity to take out Manny!" Beth exclaimed as Bam got on the top rope, and sent Oso staggering into the steel steps with a Standing Spiral Tap. Meanwhile, in the ring, Valentino hit Manny in the back of the head with a Forearm before grabbing Manny's arms and putting him in a Gory Special Position. The crowd, especially Frida and Rachel cheered, as Valentino hit Manny with the Weapon V (Gory Special Reverse STO) before jumping up to the top rope, and hitting Manny with the St. Valentino's Day Massacre (Bam Bam Sault) before going for the pinfall.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, and still the BTWF World Tag Team Champions, the team of Valentino Calavera and Bam!" Tim Barr exclaimed as Bam grabbed both the BTWF World Tag Team Championship belts from the ringside attendant, and rolled back into the ring before kipping back to his feet and handing one of the BTWF World Tag Team title belts to Valentino. Both Bam and Valentino raised their hands and championships up as Rachel and Frida made their way into the ring.
"Despite all the plans and cunning that Manny had going into this match, Valentino and Bam were able to win the match and retain the championships!" Beth exclaimed as Frida jumped in Valentino's arms and hugged him while Rachel grabbed Bam's right wrist, and raised his arm in victory, telling the referee to get out of the way. Meanwhile, Oso kicked the steel steps in frustration before grabbing an unconscious Manny by the arms and putting him over his shoulders before leaving.
"A big assist should be credited to Rachel, who helped Valentino take out Oso with a steel chair!" Cornette exclaimed as Valentino and Bam let go of their respective valets, and hugged each other in the middle of the ring before once again raising the championships over their heads. Oso yelled at Bam and Valentino that this wasn't over and that they would become champions while Manny was still hanging over Oso's shoulder, still unconscious.
"Valentino and Bam are on such a roll right now, you have to wonder who is going to be the team to take those titles off of them," Okabe wondered out loud as the camera panned to the back while Bam and Valentino continued celebrating in the middle of the ring with Frida and Rachel. The camera panned to the backstage interview area, where Jack Korpela was standing next to Dutch, Sting, and Rogue, who all had large smirks on their faces.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with Dutch Van Der Linde, and his charges, Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney, the Legacy. Now gentlemen, firstly I'd like to congratulate you on your victory in a triple threat tag team match on the Christmas Chaos Pre-Show," Korpela introduced before Sting leaned the microphone closer to his mouth.
"Well coming from a nerd like you, that ordinarily wouldn't mean much. But since it's the holiday season, we'll accept your compliment and even thank you for it. So, thanks Korpela," Sting mockingly complimented, causing Korpela to nod while not looking at Sting before taking control of the microphone back.
"Ummm…thank you? Anyway, Dutch last week you said that you had a plan that would go beyond the World Tag Team Championships to help your charges. Do you mind divulging any details of your plan?" Korpela asked as Dutch raised his eyebrow before looking at Sting and Rogue before all three of them began laughing.
"You seriously think we'd just tell our plan to hundreds of thousands of people watching on PPV?" Dutch asked while he continued to laugh. Rogue patted Dutch on the back to calm him down, allowing Dutch to continue his response to Jack's question.
"All you need to know is that my plan goes into effect on the Octane after Christmas Chaos, so whoever ends up becoming the BTWF Champion and whoever ends up becoming the #1 contender, y'all better be prepared for the Legacy!" Dutch exclaimed before patting Jack on the chest before he led the Legacy out of the backstage interview area. The camera then panned back to the ring, where Drew McIntyre's 'Broken Dreams' theme song started playing, causing the crowd to boo as Tim Scam came out, slowly applauding as the song reached its beat. When the breakdown hit, Kaminari walked out slowly, glaring at the booing crowd before cracking his knuckles at the center of the stage.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, accompanied to the ring by Tim Scam, from Musutafu Japan, 'Absolute Zero' Denki Kaminari!" Tim Barr announced as the crowd continued to boo. Kaminari shook his head at the crowd while sneering at them before turning to Scam, and giving him a fist bump on the stage before the two walked down the entranceway. The crowd continued to boo as Kaminari told the fans that he was going to show the BWF higher-ups why he should've been in Todoroki's place.
"This is a rivalry built on jealousy, bitterness, and resentment on Kaminari's part, as he thinks that Todoroki is taking all the opportunities in the BTWF that he deserves," Cornette explained as Kaminari swiped his hand away from a couple of fans who wanted a hi-five. Scam turned Kaminari's attention away from the fans before beginning to give him advice on his upcoming match.
"I have a feeling that Scam is the one who's putting all this garbage in Kaminari's head," Beth explained as Kaminari walked up the steel stairs, sneering at the fans before jumping over the top rope. Scam applauded Kaminari as he ran into the corner, and pointed both fingers at himself while telling everyone they were looking at the next BTWF Champion. Kaminari then jumped down from the top turnbuckle and continued to point at himself, continuing to tell everyone in the audience that he was going to be a future BTWF Champion.
"Well there may be some truth to it, because Kaminari and Todoroki came into this company at the same time, and Todoroki was the one who was put in main event matches while Kaminari was rarely given opportunities like that," Okabe argued as 'Don't Stop' by Nothing More (feat. Jacoby Shaddix) played, causing the crowd to cheer loudly as the lights in the arena turned blue and red. Todoroki then appeared on the stage, sitting criss-cross on the top of the stage. When the camera zoomed into Todoroki's face, his eyes shot open, and he spun back to his feet.
"And his opponent, from Musutafu Japan, Shoto Todoroki!" Tim Barr announced as the crowd continued to cheer while Todoroki walked down the entrance ramp, looking straight at Kaminari. The crowd continued to cheer as Kaminari glared back at Todoroki, while he continued down the entrance ramp. Scam started yelling at Todoroki that Kaminari was going to expose him, which Todoroki disregarded by swatting him away before jumping onto the ring apron.
"Okabe, you saw it like we did; Kaminari was on a major losing streak before aligning himself with Tim Scam. I doubt his fortunes would've changed if he had been given the opportunities Todoroki was," Cornette countered as Todoroki flipped over the top rope, and landed in the middle of the ring, sitting down criss-cross. Todoroki once again spun to his feet before walking over to Kaminari, who didn't back down, causing the two to start arguing. Their argument got heated enough that the referee had to step in between the two to prevent any blows from being exchanged before the bell rang.
"Regardless of whether Kaminari's valid in his beliefs or not, we're in for a competitive contest between two athletes who want the BTWF Championship around their waist," Okabe explained as the referee separated the two, and then told the timekeeper to ring the bell when he made sure that both men were ready. Once the bell rang, the two went to the center of the ring and immediately locked up with each other, trying to take the other down. Todoroki was eventually able to take Kaminari down with a Drop Toe Hold, causing the crowd to cheer as Todoroki locked Kaminari in a Side Headlock.
"This match is now underway, and Todoroki has taken control of the match with a Side Headlock," Beth narrated as the crowd continued to cheer as Kaminari attempted to drag himself to the ropes, but Todoroki was able to roll him back to the center of the ring. Kaminari eventually pushed Todoroki off of him, and grabbed Todoroki's arm, putting it in a Hammerlock. The crowd booed as Todoroki tried to make it to the ropes, but Kaminari pushed him to the ground, also pushing Todoroki's face into the mat.
"Kaminari and Todoroki attempting to one-up each other by showing off their technical wrestling abilities," Okabe explained as Todoroki was able to roll on his back, and grab Kaminari's right arm, and attempted to pull him to the ground, but Kaminari was able to fight out of it, and keep the Hammerlock locked in. However, Todoroki was able to get back to his feet and was able to ram Kaminari back first into the corner turnbuckles a couple of times before taking him down with a Snapmare. Todoroki grabbed both of Kaminari's arms, and locked him in a Butterfly Lock, causing the crowd to cheer as Todoroki pushed his head into the small of Kaminari's back.
"Todoroki with another submission, targeting the back and arms of Kaminari, trying to get an early advantage over the AfterShock DDT," Cornette explained as Kaminari was able to get back onto his feet, grab Todoroki's left arm, and started wringing it. The crowd continued to boo as Kaminari pressed his foot on the back of Todoroki's right knee, causing Todoroki to fall on one knee. Kaminari attempted to slam Todoroki's arm into the mat, but Todoroki was able to lay on his back, put his feet around Kaminari's neck, and took him down with a Headscissors.
"Very nice leg strength by Todoroki, able to take Kaminari down with his legs!" Okabe exclaimed as Kaminari attempted to get back to his feet, but Todoroki hit several Japanese Arm Drags onto Kaminari before hitting him with a Frankensteiner. The crowd cheered as Todoroki picked Kaminari up, and started hitting Kaminari with some hard forearms to the side of the head before attempting to hit him with a Snap Suplex. However, Kaminari kneed Todoroki in the gut a couple of times before throwing him into the ropes, but when Kaminari attempted to hit a rebounding Todoroki with a Clothesline, Todoroki ducked and hit Kaminari with a Pele Kick to the face.
"Todoroki starting to ramp the intensity of this match up a notch, hitting some hard strikes to the face of Kaminari!" Beth exclaimed as Todoroki hit Kaminari with a Standing Moonsault before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2
Kaminari kicked out and attempted to grab Todoroki's arm, but Todoroki was able to throw him off with another Japanese Arm Drag. However, when Todoroki attempted to hit a Dropkick onto Kaminari, Kaminari moved out of the way and hit a Penalty Kick to the chest of Todoroki while he was on all fours. Kaminari then grabbed Todoroki by the hair, and threw him into the corner, much to the crowd's chagrin, before he started punching Todoroki in the face several times before running the ropes, and attempting to hit him with a Running Forearm. However, Todoroki brought both of his feet up, causing Todoroki to kick Kaminari right in the side of the head.
"What a counter by Todoroki, I wouldn't be surprised if he knocked out a few bicuspids!" Cornette exclaimed as Todoroki took Kaminari back down with a Flying Kick to the chest before going for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…2
Kaminari attempted to roll out of the ring, but Todoroki grabbed Kaminari by the camouflage pants and hit him with a Saito Suplex.
"Good job by Todoroki, keeping Kaminari from going to the outside and keeping him close," Okabe explained as Todoroki once again ran the ropes, attempting to hit a knee drop, but Kaminari was able to roll out of the ring. The crowd booed as Kaminari went to Scam to try and go over a new strategy, but Todoroki didn't seem fazed by this, as he jumped over the top rope, ran across the apron, and jumped on the top turnbuckle to hit a Diving Moonsault onto both Kaminari and Scam. The crowd exploded as Todoroki kipped back to his feet, and gave several fans in the front row a hi-five.
"What a Moonsault by Todoroki, taking both Kaminari and Scam out in one fell swoop!" Beth exclaimed as Todoroki grabbed Kaminari by the hair, and sent his face crashing into the top of the fan barricade a couple of times. Todoroki turned Kaminari around, leaned him over the fan barricade, and hit him with several kicks to the chest before jumping up, and hitting him with a Jumping Spin Kick to the side of the head, sending Kaminari falling onto his knees while holding his face in pain.
Ref: 1…2…3
"Todoroki completely dominating this match, not letting Kaminari get a single inch of space!" Cornette exclaimed as Todoroki ran at Kaminari, and hit a Jumping Double Stomp to Todoroki's back. Scam staggered back to his feet and attempted to distract Todoroki, but Todoroki was able to see this coming and hit a back kick to Scam's gut. The crowd cheered as Todoroki then knocked Scam on his back with a Spin Kick to the side of the head before turning around, and going back to a now standing Kaminari.
Ref: …4…5…6
"Scam's attempt at interference failed, allowing Todoroki to continue keeping his focus on Kaminari," Beth narrated as Todoroki hit several more kicks to the chest with enough force to send Kaminari staggering back in front of the steel ring post. Todoroki started punching Kaminari in the side of the head before hitting him with several Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before lining up another kick to the chest. However, when Todoroki went for the kick, Kaminari was able to dodge, sending Todoroki's right leg crashing into the steel ring post and causing him to fall down to the ground.
Ref: …7…8…9
Kaminari immediately rolled back into the ring, gave the referee a thumbs-up, and rolled back out of the ring as Todoroki was wiggling his leg to try and get the blood flowing back into it.
"Well, Kaminari may have finally secured the advantage in this match after allowing Todoroki's leg to crash into the steel ring post!" Cornette exclaimed as Kaminari grabbed Todoroki's leg, and started smashing it into the steel ring post several times before stomping on the knee. The crowd boos as Kaminari stepped on Todoroki's knee while posing before hitting a Jumping Stomp onto the knee.
Ref: 1…2…3
"Kaminari doing the smart thing and going after the injured leg of Todoroki, which can prevent not only Todoroki's signature hard kicks, but also the Mushroom Stomp he uses to finish wrestlers off," Okabe explained as Kaminari picked Todoroki up, put him in a Shin Breaker position, sending his knee crashing into the steel ring post, and then hit him with a Shin Breaker. The crowd continued to boo as Kaminari hit another Shin Breaker onto Todoroki before sending him crashing onto the padded concrete with an Inverted Powerslam.

"Kaminari has to make sure that he doesn't spend too long outside of the ring, a double countout won't benefit either one of them," Beth explained as Kaminari told the referee to shut up before grabbing Todoroki, and throwing him onto the steel ring apron. Before pushing him fully into the ring, Kaminari sent Todoroki's knee crashing into the steel ring apron a couple of times. Kaminari pushed Todoroki back into the ring before rolling in after him and stomping on his back and chest before hitting him with a Jumping Leg Drop across the throat.
"I know it's early into this match, but I would be completely surprised if Todoroki could even stand on his own two feet after Kaminari's assault," Okabe noted as Kaminari mounted Todoroki and started hitting him with multiple punches to the face before the referee pulled Kaminari off. The crowd continued to boo as Kaminari yelled at the crowd, telling them that they were looking at the real star of the BTWF before hitting Todoroki with another Jumping Leg Drop before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
"Kaminari got a two count by that pin, but notice how he pulled the right leg back to not only increase his chances of getting a three count, but also causing Todoroki to expend energy and movement into that leg," Okabe explained as Kaminari grabbed Todoroki and started hitting him with multiple Crossface shots to the face before grabbing Todoroki by the hair, and throwing him into the corner. The crowd booed as Kaminari stomped on Todoroki's gut before hitting him with several high-impact Back Elbows.
"Kaminari now showing off some striking prowess of his own, with several Back Elbows to the side of Todoroki's head," Cornette explained as Kaminari ran the ropes, and this time was able to hit a Running Forearm to the side of Todoroki's head. Todoroki fell in front of the bottom turnbuckle, which Kaminari responded to by once again stomping on Todoroki's chest until the referee pulled Kaminari out of the corner. However, this didn't deter Kaminari as he ran the ropes and hit Todoroki with a Running Knee to the side of the head.
"Kaminari not only targeting the leg of Todoroki, but also the head of Todoroki to keep him dazed just in case he can get back to his feet," Okabe explained as Kaminari ran the ropes, and hit Todoroki with a Running Face Wash before dragging him away from the corner and pinning him while hooking his right leg back as far as he could.
Ref: 1…2..
Kaminari pounded on the mat in frustration and glared at the referee before grabbing Todoroki's legs and punching Todoroki's calf and the back of his knee. Todoroki attempted to kick Kaminari away, but Kaminari grabbed Todoroki's leg and kicked the back of his knee before dropping several elbow drops to the side of Todoroki's knee. The crowd continued to boo as Kaminari picked Todoroki up, and hit him with a Snap Swinging Neckbreaker before mocking the crowd's chanting for Todoroki.
"Kaminari keeping control of this match firmly in his favor by continuing his assault on the leg," Cornette explained as Kaminari picked Todoroki up by the hair, put him in position for a Vertical Suplex, and sent Todoroki's gut crashing into the top rope. The crowd continued to boo as Kaminari kept Todoroki hanging on the top rope by his hair, hit him with a Swinging Neckbreaker while Todoroki was on the top rope. Kaminari then hit a couple of Jumping Knee Drops to the face of Todoroki before going for another pin, hooking both of Todoroki's legs back as Scam started getting back up to his feet.
Ref: 1…2..
"Todoroki once again barely able to kick out, and with Scam getting back up, Todoroki seems to be in even more trouble," Beth noted as Kaminari slapped Todoroki in the face several times, but the crowd cheered as Todoroki hit multiple open palm strikes to the chest and gut of Kaminari. Todoroki then pushed Kaminari away and started hitting multiple kicks to Todoroki's chest and sides, but Kaminari was able to grab Todoroki's right leg and take him back down with a Dragon Screw.
"Kaminari once again able to take Todoroki down, using a Dragon Screw to also continue his attack on the leg!" Okabe exclaimed as Kaminari grabbed Todoroki's right leg again, and turned him around, putting him in a Single Leg Boston Crab. The crowd booed as Todoroki started dragging himself to the ropes, but Kaminari responded by punching Todoroki's knee several times and dragging him back to the center of the ring. Scam yells at Todoroki to tap out as Kaminari leans back even more into the hold, but this allows Todoroki to grab Kaminari in a headlock.
"Todoroki has a hold of Kaminari, but Kaminari also still has a hold on the leg! Who's gonna give!?" Beth asked as Todoroki continued pulling Kaminari's head back, causing the crowd to cheer as Kaminari's hand slipped off of Todoroki's right leg. Todoroki then grabbed the top rope and started pulling himself back on his feet, slapping his leg to get the blood flowing back into his right leg. Kaminari got back up and attempted to hit Todoroki with a Running Clothesline, but Todoroki responded with a Back Elbow, sending Kaminari staggering back before Todoroki springboarded off of the middle rope, and hit Kaminari with a Moonsault before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Todoroki finally able to regain some sense of control, but it may not have been smart to hit a flying move so soon after escaping the punishment aimed at his right leg," Cornette explained as Todoroki continued to wiggle his leg to get the blood flowing back into it before pulling himself back up. Todoroki stomped on Kaminari's chest before picking him back up and hitting him with multiple Knife-Edge Chops to the chest. When Kaminari attempted to hit Todoroki with a punch, Todoroki ducked out of the way, and hit Kaminari with a side kick to the chest, sending him staggering into the corner.
"Some more hard strikes by Todoroki sends Kaminari into the corner, and the adrenaline is helping Todoroki try to ignore the pain in his leg!" Okabe exclaimed as Todoroki took a couple of deep breaths before running into the corner, hitting Todoroki with a Running Wheel Kick, sending Kaminari staggering out of the corner. Todoroki responded to this by running the ropes, and hitting Kaminari with two Clotheslines, a Rolling Kick to the top of the head, a Snap Powerslam, and then hit a Jumping Senton to the chest.
"I don't know how the adrenaline is helping Todoroki ignore the pain in his leg, but you can't deny that it's working!" Beth exclaimed as Todoroki picked Kaminari up, and hit him with multiple Open Palm Strikes to the side of the head before taking him down with a Jumping Cutter before locking him in the Dragon Slayer (Modified Dragon Sleeper). The crowd cheered as Kaminari attempted to get back to his feet, but Todoroki was able to push Kaminari back down to the mat, pulling back on his head even further.
"Todoroki has the Dragon Slayer locked in! Kaminari may have no escape here!" Cornette exclaimed as Kaminari is able to drag himself to the ropes, putting his right hand on the middle rope, causing the crowd to boo as Todoroki lets go of the hold, but hits Kaminari with a kick to the back of the head before hitting Kaminari with a Deadlift German Suplex, causing the crowd to cheer louder before attempting to bridge into a pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Todoroki got a two count there, but you can see that he couldn't properly bridge over into a pin due to the damage done to his right leg," Okabe noted as Todoroki stood up on his feet, waiting for Kaminari to get up, and when he did, Todoroki attempted to hit Kaminari with a head kick, but Kaminari was able to duck and attempted to hit Todoroki with a Back Suplex, but Todoroki was able to fight out of the hold by punching Todoroki in the top of the head before getting back to his feet. However, Todoroki was hit in the chest with a Headbutt by Kaminari before Kaminari ran the ropes, hit Todoroki with the Surge (Claymore Kick), and went for the pin.
Ref: 1…2…
"Todoroki barely kicking out of the Surge kick, but that only served to make Kaminari even more frustrated!" Beth exclaimed as Kaminari grabbed Todoroki by the right leg, and started pulling him to the corner. The crowd continued to boo as Kaminari left the ring, and pulled Todoroki's legs towards the steel ring post. Kaminari then sent the side of Todoroki's right leg crashing into the steel ring post multiple times before locking him in a Figure 4 Leglock in the ring apron.
"And Kaminari with an homage to Bret Hart with the Figure-4 around the ring post!" Okabe exclaimed as the referee threatened to disqualify Kaminari if he didn't break the hold, which Todoroki obliged to before pushing Todoroki back into the ring, rolling after him into the ring, and locking Todoroki in a Figure-4-Leglock in the middle of the ring. The crowd booed and chanted for Todoroki as he attempted to pull himself out of Kaminari's Figure-4-Leglock, but Kaminari kept his ground in the middle of the ring.
"Now Kaminari has the Figure-4 in the middle of the ring! Todoroki may have to tap out here to save himself from further injury!" Cornette exclaimed as Todoroki was able to sit himself up, and hit Kaminari in the chest with multiple Knife-Edge Chops to the chest. However, when Kaminari attempted to fight back, Todoroki hit multiple Open Palm Strikes to the face of Kaminari, allowing Todoroki to break the hold, grab Kaminari's legs, and roll him up with a Jackknife Pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Todoroki almost got the pin there! Kaminari almost lost thanks to that shock pin!" Beth exclaimed as Kaminari got back to his feet, but Todoroki took him down with an STO before hitting him with a Pendulum Elbow Drop and then ran the ropes to hit Kaminari with a Running Meteora before going into the corner. Todoroki waited for Kaminari to get back to his feet, and when he did, Todoroki attempted to hit him with the Hot and Cold (Mushroom Stomp). Kaminari was able to dodge, but Todoroki is able to land on the top rope and attempted to hit a Twisting Crossbody onto Kaminari, but Kaminari was able to hit the Surge (Claymore Kick) to Todoroki's knee.
"What a counter by Kaminari, nearly crushing Todoroki's knee with that high impact kick!" Cornette exclaimed before Kaminari grabbed Todoroki by both of his arms, hit him with the AfterShock DDT (Future Shock DDT), and went for the pin much to the crowd's chagrin.
Ref: 1…2…3
*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Denki Kaminari!" Tim Barr announced, causing the crowd to boo as Tim Scam applauded Kaminari's victory. Kaminari looked at the referee in disbelief, as if he was shocked that he had pinned Todoroki in the middle of the ring. Kaminari, still in shock, slowly got to his feet and allowed the referee to raise his arm in victory as Scam rolled into the ring to join in on the celebration. Scam took the referee's place in raising Kaminari's arm while the referee checked on Todoroki.
"I cannot believe it, ladies and gentlemen! Kaminari is able to pull off the upset victory against former BTWF Championship contender Shoto Todoroki!" Cornette exclaimed in shock as Todoroki had help from the referee to get back to his feet while holding his right knee and leg in pain. Meanwhile, Kaminari appeared to have finally had his victory over Todoroki sink in as a smile grew on his face for the first time in weeks as he and Scam shared a hug in the middle of the ring.
"Kaminari told everyone that he'd have more eyes on him from the fans and the higher-ups of the BTWF, and I think he may have done that with this big victory!" Beth exclaimed as the crowd continued to boo as Todoroki told the referee that he was fine, and limped up the entranceway while looking back at Kaminari and Scam celebrating in the ring. Todoroki shook his head before turning around and continued limping back to the locker room.
"Todoroki put in his best effort, but Kaminari's determination to rise up the ranks beat out Todoroki's heart, but we'll see Todoroki bounce back from this sooner rather than later," Okabe explained as the camera panned to the backstage area as Kaminari and Scam left the ring. The camera focused on the backstage interview area, where Todd Grisham was standing next to Jean Kirstein.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with Octane's newest superstar, 'the Definition of Perfection', Jean Kirstein," Todd introduced before Jean stopped Todd from talking and gave Todd his hand mirror.
"Here, hold this, and make sure to hold it in front of that…face you got there," Jean ordered, moving the mirror in Todd's hand in front of his face. Todd sighed as Jean straightened out his hair and admired his reflection in the mirror before Todd began speaking again.
"Jean, given your impressive performance on Mordecai, what are your thoughts on the upcoming BTWF Championship Triple Decker Cage Match between Mordecai and Natsu Dragneel?" Todd asked as Jean slapped Todd on the shoulder before keeping the mirror in front of his face.
"First off, while you're talking to me, keep the mirror in front of your face. And two, I think Natsu owes me a thank you," Jean explained as Todd, behind the mirror, raised an eyebrow before taking the microphone back.
"Why would Natsu owe you a 'thank you'?" Todd asked as Jean rolled his eyes while continuing to admire himself in the mirror.
"I dominated Mordecai in our match on Friday. He's not going into this Triple Decker Cage match 100%, and it'll give Natsu an easier victory tonight. And Natsu, I appreciate your thanks, but instead of giving me a nice gift basket or a card, you can give me a BTWF Championship match on Octane," Jean explained as he took the mirror back from Todd, playfully winced a little after seeing Todd's face, and leaving the interview area while continuing to admire himself in the mirror. Todd shook his head in frustration while the camera panned back to the stage, where 'Sound of Madness' by Shinedown played, causing the crowd to boo as Bonifer and Joe came out of the back with Mr. Enter and Manabo following them out.
"The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, accompanied to the ring by and representing Enter Enterprises, from Tom's River New Jersey, the team of Charlie Bonifer and Joe Wolf, the Age of Aggression!" Tim Barr announced as Joe got down to one knee, and raised a fist in the air while Bonifer slapped himself in the cheek several times before grinning evilly at the ring. Joe got back to his feet, fist-bumped Bonifer, and walked to the ring with Manabo applauding them and yelling at the booing fans.
"Mr. Enter has been trimming the fat of Enter Enterprises, which started on the pre-show, where Manabo absolutely demolished Riley Freeman in less than a minute," Cornette explained as the crowd continued to boo as Enter patted Manabo in the back before calling Joe and Charlie over. The four men huddled up to discuss strategy, while the crowd continued to boo and chant that 'Enter Sucks!' while the four men ignored them.
"He believes that Bonifer and Joe are the next tag team to carry the mantle of Enter Enterprises in the tag team division," Beth elaborated as Enter and Manabo patted Joe and Bonifer on the back before the two of them ran into the ring by sliding underneath the bottom rope. The crowd continued to boo as Bonifer stayed in the middle of the ring and pushed his fists into the sides of his face before Joe knelt back down to one knee, and raised a fist up. As Bonifer and Joe got up and into their corner, 'Black Sheep' by Saliva played, causing the crowd to give a mixed reaction as Sheldon and Naruto came out of the back.
"And their opponents, the team of Naruto Uzumaki and Sheldon Lee!" Tim Barr announced as Naruto and Sheldon looked at each other with a glare on their faces, before nodding and running down the entrance ramp. The crowd continued giving a mixed reaction as Naruto and Sheldon got to ringside, and ran into the ring before starting a brawl with Bonifer and Joe. The referee tried to separate the two teams, but this didn't work as Naruto started punching Bonifer in the face, sending him into the corner.
"Naruto and Sheldon not even waiting for the bell, as they're attacking the Age of Aggression with all the fury and hate that they've been feeling for almost a month!" Okabe exclaimed as the referee was finally able to separate Sheldon and Naruto from the Age of Aggression before putting them in the corner. The crowd cheered as the referee looked at both teams, and told the timekeeper to ring the bell, which he did, and Naruto responded by kicking Joe in the gut with a Side Kick. The crowd continued to lightly cheer as Naruto grabbed Joe by the chin, and hit him with several punches to the face before taking him down with a Legsweep.
"Naruto and Sheldon getting the early advantage in this match thanks to their pre-match attack!" Cornette exclaimed as Naruto hits Joe with a Jumping Double Foot Stomp to the chest before tagging Sheldon back into the match. The crowd cheered as Naruto picked Sheldon up in a Back Suplex position, and the two hit an Assisted Leg Drop across Joe's throat before Sheldon mounted Joe and started punching him in the face.
"A very nice assisted Leg Drop to the throat of Joe, but Sheldon isn't even thinking about going for the pin!" Okabe exclaimed as Sheldon grabbed Joe by the beard, picked him up, and hit him with multiple Knife-Edge Chops before throwing him into the corner. Sheldon ran into the corner, but Joe countered with a Knee Strike to the gut of Sheldon and pushed him down to the ground before stomping on his gut. The crowd continued to boo as Joe ran the ropes and attempted to hit a Leg Drop, but Sheldon was able to roll out of the way and hit a Kalisto Kick to the side of Joe's head.
"Sheldon with a nice kick to the side of Joe's head, sending him staggering!" Beth exclaimed as Sheldon kipped back to his feet, and hit a Rolling Thunder Clothesline before tagging Naruto into the match. The two waited for Joe to get back to his feet and when he did, Naruto and Sheldon hit a Double Dropkick onto Joe, sending him staggering into his corner before Bonifer glared at his two former allies and tagged himself into the match. Bonifer ran at both Naruto and Sheldon, but the two dodged and hit Bonifer with another Double Dropkick when he turned around.
"Bonifer coming into the ring, and meeting the same fate as his comrade Joe with that Double Dropkick!" Okabe exclaimed as Naruto grabbed Bonifer by the hair, and started hitting him with multiple punches to the face before doubling him over with a Spin Kick to the gut. Naruto attempted to Irish whip Bonifer into the ropes, but Bonifer kicked Naruto in the knee before hitting him with several punches and clubs to the back and the back of the neck. Bonifer ran the ropes and attempted to hit a Running Knee, but Naruto was able to dodge and attempt the Ninja Kick (Trouble in Paradise), but Bonifer was also able to dodge and roll him up with a School Boy.
Ref: 1…
Naruto was able to kick out of the School Boy and mounted Bonifer to hit him with more punches, but Bonifer hit Naruto with a headbutt to the side of the head.
"And Bonifer sends his head crashing to the side of Naruto's head!" Cornette exclaimed while wincing as Bonifer kicked Naruto in the gut with enough force to send him staggering into the corner before Sheldon tagged himself into the ring, and springboarded into the ring with a Springboard Dropkick to Bonifer's face. The crowd cheered as Sheldon ran the ropes and hit a Springboard Moonsault from the second rope onto Bonifer before Enter got onto the apron, causing the crowd to boo as he started yelling at the referee.
"And Mr. Enter is on the apron! What the hell is he trying to do!?" Beth asked as while Enter had the referee distracted, Manabo walked to the other side of the ring, grabbed Naruto's legs while he was still staggered in the corner, and pulled him crotch first into the steel ring post. The crowd booed as Manabo grabbed Naruto by the hair on the outside and threw him straight into the fan barricade. This distracted Sheldon enough for Bonifer to get back to his feet, and when Sheldon turned around, Bonifer leveled him with a Running Lariat that turned him inside out.
"That's what he was trying to do Beth! And it worked, as the Age of Aggression have control of this match!" Okabe exclaimed as Bonifer started stomping on the sides and arm of Sheldon before running the ropes and hitting him with a Pinpoint Elbow onto his face. Bonifer grabbed Sheldon by the hair and threw him face first into the top turnbuckle of his corner before tagging Joe into the match. The crowd booed as the both of them stomped a mudhole into Sheldon before Joe ran the ropes, and Bonifer picked him up to hit Sheldon with an Assisted Corner Dropkick before Joe took Sheldon down and went for the pin.
Ref: 1…2
"The Age of Aggression, unlike Sheldon and Naruto, are trying to get the pin or submission in this match. Enter has made it clear he's after tag team gold, so he's more interested in winning than Naruto and Sheldon," Okabe explained as Joe stomped on Sheldon's chest before hitting the Ronnie Garvin stomps on Sheldon's arms, legs, chest again, and finally a jumping stomp to the top of Sheldon's head. Joe told the crowd that Sheldon was as worthless as they were, causing the crowd to boo louder before he ran the ropes and hit a Running Leg Drop across Sheldon's throat.
"While Naruto and Sheldon want to hurt Enter Enterprises for what they've been put through, I think they want those titles back so they'll do what they can to win once they feel like they've punished Enter Enterprises enough," Beth countered as Joe hit several Falling Fist Drops to the top of Sheldon's head before tagging Bonifer back into the match. The crowd booed as Bonifer jumped into the ring and hit Sheldon with another Leg Drop across the throat before picking Joe up, and hitting him with a Scoop Slam that sent Joe's back crashing into Sheldon's chest. Joe rolled out of the ring before Bonifer went for the pin, hooking both of Sheldon's legs while flipping the crowd off.
Ref: 1…2.
"Naruto is still on the outside thanks to Manabo's attack on him earlier on, so Sheldon is on his own for the moment," Cornette explained as Bonifer picked Sheldon up by the chin, and hit him with multiple Knife-Edge Chops, with the 4th chop to the chest sending him falling to the floor. The crowd booed as Bonifer turned his back to Sheldon's downed frame, flipped off the crowd and a downed Naruto, and hit a Standing Moonsault onto Sheldon's chest, much to Enter and the rest of Enter Enterprises' delight.
"Bonifer with a beautiful Standing Moonsault onto Sheldon, sending all his weight crashing onto Sheldon's chest!" Okabe exclaimed as Bonifer slapped Sheldon in the side of the head a couple of times before picking him back up in the hair. Bonifer threw Sheldon into the corner before kneeing him in the gut multiple times before picking him back up and hitting him with a Gutbuster, sending Sheldon falling onto his knee chest first before running the ropes, hitting him with a Big Boot to the side of the head, and then sent him back down with a Back Suplex.
"Bonifer continuing to dominate Sheldon while Manabo has Naruto in his crosshairs to make sure Bonifer and Joe continue to dominate this match," Beth explained as Bonifer grabbed Sheldon by the hair, and tagged Joe back into the match before putting Sheldon on his shoulders in a Fireman's Carry. Joe then ran the ropes, allowing him and Bonifer to hit Sheldon with the Boot of Doom, allowing Joe to pin Sheldon with both legs hooked back.
Ref: 1…2..
Joe mounted Sheldon and hit him with multiple punches to the side of the head before putting him on his knees, and hitting him with a couple of punches to the side of the head. The crowd continued to boo as Joe slapped Sheldon in the face several times as Naruto started getting back to his feet on the outside. This prompted Bonifer to try and get into the ring, distracting the referee for long enough to allow Manabo to grab Naruto by the hair, and throw him face first into the side of the steel steps.
"And once again, Manabo sends Naruto into harm's way to keep Sheldon all by himself in the ring!" Beth exclaimed as Joe picked Sheldon up, and hit him with multiple punches to the face. The crowd cheered as Sheldon hit a couple of desperation punches to Joe's face, but Joe kicked Sheldon in the knee before hitting him with a Snap DDT. The crowd booed as Joe swiped his hand in front of his throat, telling the crowd that Sheldon was done before grabbing his arm and locking him in a Crossface.
"And Joe has the Crossface locked in! Sheldon may tap out without making it back to Naruto!" Cornette exclaimed as Sheldon tried to drag himself to the ropes, but Bonifer kicked Sheldon's hand away, allowing Joe to roll to the middle of the ring. The crowd continued to boo as Joe ground his wrist into Sheldon's nose while continuing to pull the Crossface back, but Sheldon started headbutting Joe in the side of the face a couple of times. The crowd started cheering as Sheldon continued the headbutts until Joe let go of the Crossface.
"Sheldon able to get the Crossface off of him, using those vicious headbutts to his advantage!" Okabe exclaimed as Sheldon punched Joe in the side of the head once they both stood back to their feet, but Joe was able to knee Sheldon in the gut, and then jumped up to the second turnbuckle, and hit Sheldon in the face with a Missile Dropkick before running the ropes, and punting Sheldon in the side of the head before going for a pinfall.
Ref: 1…2..
The crowd cheered as Naruto ran up into the ring and stomped on Joe, breaking up the pin. Much to the crowd's delight, Naruto hit Bonifer in the face with a Ninja Kick (Trouble in Paradise), sending him falling off of the apron before dragging Sheldon closer to his corner, went onto the apron, and put his hand out for the tag.
"Naruto with some payback against Enter Enterprises, sending Bonifer falling to the mat and away from his partner!" Beth exclaimed as Sheldon reached out, and tagged Naruto into the match, causing the crowd to cheer as Naruto jumped over the top rope, and hit a standing Joe with a Springboard Chop to the top of the head. Naruto then ran the ropes, and hit a Suicide Dive onto Manabo, sending him leaning on the fan barricade before climbing back up to the top rope, and hitting the Diving Crossbody onto Joe before rolling him into a pin.
Ref: 1…2.
"Naruto getting in this match, and finally going for the pin in this match for the first time!" Beth exclaimed as Naruto grabbed Joe by the beard, and hit him with multiple chops to the chest and shoulders before running the ropes and hitting him with a Kitchen Sink Running Knee. The crowd continued to cheer as Naruto ran the ropes, and hit Joe with a Jumping Knee Drop before turning around, and hitting Joe with a Jumping Leg Drop to the throat before seeing Bonifer coming back to his feet, and hitting Bonifer with a Suicide Dive that sent him flying onto the announcers' table.
"And Naruto dominates Joe Wolf in the ring before sending Bonifer on top of our announcers' table!" Okabe exclaimed, backing away slightly at the sight of Bonifer's body. Meanwhile, in the ring, Naruto sent Joe into the corner and then ran into the corner, hitting a Jumping Kick in the corner before going up to the top rope, and hitting Joe with a Bulldog from the top rope. However, when Naruto went for the pin, Enter tried to get into the ring, distracting the referee, and allowing Manabo to punch Naruto in the side of the head. However, Naruto fought back with several kicks to the face of Manabo, pushing him away.
"Naruto really starting to fight back here, kicking Manabo away with some major force behind them!" Beth exclaimed as Naruto picked Wolf up, and attempted to hit him with the Michinoku Driver, but Joe poked him in the eye, fell behind Naruto, and hit Naruto with a Reverse DDT. The crowd booed as Joe smirked at the crowd and started climbing up to the top rope, but Naruto tried to get back to his feet, punching Joe in the gut several times, but Joe was able to push Naruto away with his feet before once again attempting to dive off of the rope. However, the crowd cheered as Sheldon ran back into the ring, and threw Joe off of the top rope with the Top Rope Hurricanrana, sending Joe into the perfect position for a Powerbomb before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"What an amazing tag team maneuver from the former BTWF World Tag Team Champions! Joe was still able to roll his shoulder off of the mat, but you have to imagine that won't last much longer," Cornette explained as Naruto put Joe in position for the Powerbomb and told Sheldon to get onto the top rope. Sheldon started climbing up to the top rope, but Bonifer was able to get back into the ring and push Sheldon off of the top rope, sending him falling into the fan barricade.
"Ouch! Sheldon just crashed face first right into the fan barricade!" Beth exclaimed as Naruto attempted to punch Bonifer, but Bonifer hit Naruto with a Back Elbow and grabbed him by the wrist. Bonifer then climbed up the top rope while holding Naruto's wrist, and hit him with the Rose of Sharyn (Wristlock Springboard Cutter). The crowd continued to boo as Bonifer dragged Naruto closer to the corner Joe was in, left the ring, and allowed Joe to hit a Diving Headbutt onto Naruto's chest before going for the pin.

"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, representing Enter Enterprises, the team of Charlie Bonifer and Joe Wolf, the Age of Aggression!" Tim Barr announced as the crowd continued to boo as Joe got on all fours, smirking at the camera before slapping a downed Naruto in the face before Bonifer, Manabo, and Mr. Enter all entered the ring. Joe got back up as he had his arms raised by Manabo and Enter, who pushed the referee away.
"Mr. Enter, so far, is 2-0 on the night, having his new tag team show his former tag team why he believes they are the future BTWF World Tag Team Champions!" Cornette exclaimed as Manabo looked at a downed Naruto, and smirked at his Enter Enterprise colleagues before walking over to Naruto, grabbing him by the throat, putting him back on his feet with only one arm, and hit Naruto with a Driving Chokeslam. The crowd booed as Enter, Bonifer, and Joe laughed at a destroyed Naruto.
"Now that was just uncalled for! There was no reason for Manabo to do that!" Beth exclaimed in annoyance as Sheldon rolled into the ring, and attempted to attack Enter Enterprises, but Bonifer was able to take him down with a Low Blow, allowing Manabo to hit a Driving Chokeslam onto Sheldon. Enter put a foot over Sheldon's chest in victory, causing the crowd to boo as Enter Enterprises continued to celebrate their victory.
"Naruto and Sheldon put in a good effort, but Enter Enterprises had their game plan woven together as well as our Christmas sweaters," Okabe quipped as the camera panned away from the ring as Enter Enterprises made their way to leave, with Mr. Enter saying that Bonifer and Joe are going to be the new BTWF World Tag Team Champions. The camera panned to Scott Stanford sitting in his office, where a set of 12 TVs were behind him, showing various BTWF matches.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another edition of the Stanford Station, where we talk about the Pre-Show matches that happened before this PPV started," Scott introduced before the camera panned to one of the TVs, where a graphic for Death the Kid vs. Ed was seen before the TV turned to the actual match between Death the Kid and Ed.
"The first match was Death the Kid vs. Ed, who had a match of speed vs. strength. After an epic 10 minute encounter, Kid was able to dodge the Gore, and pin Ed after hitting the Coffin Drop from the top rope," Scott explained as the TV showed Kid hitting Ed with the Coffin Drop and pinning him. The camera then panned to another TV that showed the graphics of a tag team match between Ty Lee & Mai and Alex Vasquez & Haruko Haruhara.
"Up next, we had a Women's tag team match, as Princess Azula led Ty Lee and Mai into a tag team victory against Alex and Haruko in 7 and a half minutes," Stanford explained as the TV panned to Ty Lee and Mai hitting Haruko with the Russian Leg Sweep/Single Leg Dropkick Combination and pinning her. The TV then panned to a graphic of Manabo, along with Mr. Enter, taking on Riley Freeman.
"After that, we have Manabo showing off why Mr. Enter hired him as his bodyguard, as he destroyed Riley within only a minute," Scott explained as the TV showed Manabo hitting Riley with a Driving Chokeslam before pinning him with Enter jumping up and down on the outside in celebration. Finally, the camera panned to a graphic for the Triple Threat tag team match between the Legacy, 2Cool, and Kensuke & Touji.
"And to close out the Pre-Show, Dutch Van Der Linde helped lead the Legacy of Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney defeated 2Cool of Eddy and Gene Belcher, and Touji Suzuhara and Kensuke Aida, giving them the momentum for whatever Dutch has planned for them in the future," Scott explained as the camera showed Sting hitting Kensuke with a Sting Ray (Beautiful Disaster Kick) before hitting him with the Holy Nova (Cross Rhodes) before pinning him with Rogue keeping Touji and Gene down on the outside.
"And that was the pre-show of BTWF Christmas Chaos! Thank you for joining me and I hope you enjoy the rest of the PPV. Oh, and don't forget to vote for the Between the Ropes Awards," Scott said as he waved goodbye to the fans at home before the camera panned to the stage, ready for the next match.
