BTWF Octane (January Week 1)
The camera panned towards the stage, where 'Broken Dreams' by Shaman's Harvest played, causing the crowd to boo as Denki Kaminari came out with Tim Scam following him out of the back. The crowd continued booing as Kaminari told the fans that they were looking at the next Battle Riot winner and the future BTWF Champion. Scam echoed these sentiments as the two came to the ringside area, with the crowd chanting that Kaminari was a sick fuck as he fist-bumped Scam.
"Welcome to BTWF Octane ladies and gentlemen, live from Rochester, New York. From ringside, I'm Jim Cornette alongside my broadcast colleagues, Beth Vanderwood and Rintaro Okabe, and we're starting off with one of the most controversial superstars to come out of Christmas Chaos!" Cornette introduced as the crowd started throwing garbage at Kaminari and Scam as they walked up the steel steps and entered the ring. Kaminari looked up at the furious crowd and laughed at their anger.
"Controversial isn't the word for it, Jim! Kaminari, after defeating Shoto Todoroki earlier in the night, threw Mordecai off of a cage after the semi-main event for the BTWF Championship! He almost killed Mordecai!" Beth exclaimed in response as Scam patted Kaminari in the back before telling Mary Hughes to give him the microphone. Mary walked over to the ringside and did what she told, with Scam waiting for the crowd to quiet down as Kaminari smirked at the jeering fans.
"Arthur Morgan, one of our General Managers, said that there was going to be some punishment dished out to Kaminari here," Okabe explained as Kaminari took the microphone from Scam, and continued smirking at the booing crowd before he began to speak.
"First of all, what a night for the next big star in the BTWF! Not only did I defeat the higher-ups' favorite Shoto Todoroki, but I also took out that wannabe stuntman Mordecai!" Kaminari exclaimed, causing the crowd to boo and continue their chants of 'You Sick Fuck!' and 'Fuck You Kaminari!'
"You all can chant that all you want, but the fact is Christmas Chaos was the first night of my Road to the BTWF Championship! Sending Mordecai crashing down back to the bottom of the ladder where he belongs is just the beginning! The next stop is the Battle Riot coming up! And let me give you all a spoiler; I'm going to win the whole enchilada!" Kaminari exclaimed in excitement as the crowd continued booing him. Kaminari rolled his eyes while smiling before handing the microphone over to Scam.
"Before all of that though, Arthur Morgan said he has some punishment for Kaminari after what happened at Christmas Chaos. So, Morgan, you can come out here now, and get this over with. We have a victory celebration to prepare," Scam explained. After waiting for a moment, the crowd cheered as Arthur Morgan came out of the back with a microphone in his hand and a glare on his face. Arthur didn't say a word as he continued making his way to the ring, with Scam and Kaminari backing away slightly to give him some room. When Arthur got in the middle of the ring, he continued glaring at Kaminari and Scam before he began talking.
"Kaminari, while I couldn't stand the cry-baby attitude you developed recently, I've respected the strides you've taken to climb up the BTWF ladder. But what you did at Christmas Chaos, that crossed the line in a major way," Arthur explained, causing the crowd to cheer and chant 'Fuck Him Up, Arthur!' as Kaminari and Scam laughed at the fans chanting that before Arthur continued.
"Sorry folks, that phase of my career is over. But, what I can do is make you regret ever thinking of throwing Mordecai off of the cage. I could suspend you, I could fine you, and I could send you straight to the unemployment line. But…that's too easy," Arthur explained, with Kaminari and Scam looking at each other with raised eyebrows, prompting Arthur to continue.
"Yeah, too easy. So what I'm going to do…is let you stay in the Battle Riot!" Arthur exclaimed, causing the crowd to boo as Kaminari and Scam laughed, but Arthur wasn't done.
"But, you're going to be #1 in the Battle Riot! Meaning you're going to be the first man in the match, and if you want to win, you're going to have to get through 39 other ass-whoopings. And I don't know about all of you people, but that sounds a lot better than spending a couple of days in a cell all alone, doesn't it?" Arthur explained with a smile, causing the crowd to explode as Kaminari started throwing a tantrum in the ring. Kaminari grabbed Scam by the collar of his shirt, telling him to do something about this.
"Oh, and Kaminari, don't bother leaving the ring, because your opponent is in the back, ready for some action. Oh, and good luck at the Battle Riot," Arthur said with a laugh before dropping the microphone and leaving the ring. Kaminari started screaming at Arthur to come back as 'Motor City Angels' by PWR and Joaquin Acosta played. The crowd cheered as Chris Panzer came walking out of the back, with his 'Panzer Army' jacket on, and a confident smile on his face while Scam tried to calm Kaminari down.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! In the ring, from Musutafu Japan, Denki Kaminari! And his opponent, approaching the ring, from Detroit Michigan, representing LWF: Reborn, Chris Panzer!" Mary Hughes announced as the crowd continued cheering while Panzer was hi-fiving the fans as he looked at the camera. Panzer started talking to Stan Smith, telling him to watch what he was going to do to Kaminari as he continued making his way to the ring.
"Chris Panzer is here in the BTWF as part of a working relationship between the BTWF and LWF: Reborn," Okabe explained as Panzer rolled into the ring, kipping back to his feet and getting right into Kaminari's face. The crowd continued cheering as Panzer took his jacket off, and the crowd cheered even louder as he threw his jacket at Tim Scam. Kaminari went up to Panzer, and pushed him into the corner, telling him to show some respect to a legend like Tim Scam.
"Kaminari should not be talking to anyone about respect with the way he tried to kill Mordecai!" Beth exclaimed as Panzer chuckled before slapping Kaminari in the face, telling the referee to start the match. The referee obliged and rang the bell, and Panzer immediately took Kaminari down with a Drop Toe Hold and put him in a Side Headlock. Kaminari attempted to try and pick himself off of the ground, but Panzer was able to hit Kaminari with a Headlock Takedown, causing the crowd to cheer as Panzer ruffled Kaminari's hair while still wrenching in the Headlock.
"Panzer able to keep Kaminari at bay, showing off some more disrespect with some ruffling of the hair," Cornette narrated as Kaminari was able to put his feet on the ropes, causing the crowd to boo as Panzer let go of Kaminari, letting him get back to his feet. Kaminari, practically trembling with anger, stomped over to Panzer, and pie-faced him, telling Panzer that he was nothing but a loser and that he wasn't going to stop Kaminari from getting to the top. Panzer nodded before hitting Kaminari with a Dropkick to the face.
"Nice Dropkick by Panzer, right on the button!" Beth exclaimed as Kaminari got up, attempting to run at Panzer, but Panzer countered Kaminari with several Japanese Arm Drags before sending Kaminari down with a Scoop Slam. The crowd cheered as Panzer attempted to put Kaminari in an armbar, but Kaminari was able to get back to his feet and hit Panzer in the side of the head with multiple forearms to the side of the head. Kaminari attempted to Irish whip Panzer into the corner, but Panzer was able to jump up to the top rope and hit a Corkscrew Crossbody onto Kaminari before rolling him up for a pin.
Ref: 1…2
"Kaminari out at a two count, and Panzer is running back into the corner, preparing for something else to hit Kaminari with," Beth explained as Kaminari tried to get back to his feet, and Panzer responded by nailing him with a Clothesline. The crowd cheered as Panzer attempted to lock in the Anaconda Vice, but Kaminari was once again able to get to the ropes. The crowd booed as Panzer backed away, and Kaminari responded by getting up and kicking him a couple of times in the gut.
"Kaminari, with a couple of kicks to the gut, sending Panzer staggering back," Cornette explained as Kaminari grabbed both of Panzer's arms, attempted to hit him with the Aftershock DDT (Future Shock DDT), but Panzer was able to counter with a Northern Lights Suplex. However, rather than bridge into a pin, Panzer ran the ropes and hit a Leg Drop across Kaminari's throat, but the crowd booed again as Kaminari rolled out onto the apron, trying to call for a time out.
"Kaminari trying to get his breath, controlling the pace of this match to slow Panzer down," Okabe explained as Panzer shook his head with a smile on his face. While Kaminari started yelling at the booing crowd, Panzer ran at Kaminari, and hit him with a Running Dropkick to the back, sending him falling off of the apron. The crowd cheered as Panzer waited for Kaminari to get back to his feet, and when he did, Panzer ran the ropes and knocked Kaminari down with a Suicide Dive.
"Panzer is in control right now, taking Kaminari out with a Suicide Dive!" Beth exclaimed as Panzer picked Kaminari up, and started hitting him with several punches to the face before Scam started running at Panzer, yelling at him. Panzer tried to ignore Scam, but Scam threw Panzer's jacket back at him, causing Panzer to throw Kaminari to the ground and go after Scam. The crowd cheered as Panzer punched Scam in the face, sending him falling to the ground as Kaminari was getting back to his feet.
Ref: 1…2…3
"Panzer just took out Scam with a hard punch to the face, but Kaminari has come back to his feet!" Cornette exclaimed as just as Panzer turned around, Kaminari pushed Panzer into the side of the steel steps, sending his back and the back of his head into the side of the steel steps. The crowd booed as Kaminari ran a hand through his blonde hair, and then ran at Panzer, hitting him with a Running Knee Strike to the face, sending the back of his head once again crashing into the side of the steel steps. The crowd continued booing as Kaminari threw Panzer to the ground, and mounted him before beginning to punch him in the side of the head.
Ref: …4…5…6
"Kaminari unleashing a more aggressive side of him recently. If what he did to Mordecai wasn't a hint enough of that," Okabe explained as Kaminari picked Panzer up, and hit him with several forearms to the side of the head before throwing him back into the ring. The crowd continued booing as Kaminari draped Panzer's head over the steel ring apron, clubbing him in the back and the back of the head before backing away from him. The crowd continued booing as Kaminari hit Panzer with a Running Big Boot to the side of the head before pushing him back into the ring. The crowd continued booing as Kaminari rolled back into the ring, and started stomping on Panzer, telling the crowd that Panzer was nothing but a loser.
"Kaminari now taking complete control of his match, hitting Panzer with stomps to the back and chest!" Beth exclaimed as Kaminari picked Panzer up and pushed him into the corner. The crowd booed as Kaminari told the Panzer Army to watch what was going to happen to their hero before running into the corner, hitting Panzer with a Running Knee to the face. Kaminari then started stomping on Panzer's gut before running the ropes again and hitting Panzer with another Running Knee Strike to the chest, sending Panzer falling out of the corner.
"OH! Those knees had to hurt!" Cornette exclaimed with a wince as Kaminari hit a Jumping Knee Drop to the top of Panzer's head before going for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…2.
Kaminari glared at the referee before picking Panzer up and hitting him with multiple punches to the gut. The crowd started cheering as Panzer hit a couple of punches to Kaminari's face, but Kaminari rammed his knee into Panzer's gut and jumped on the middle rope to hit Panzer with a Tornado DDT.
"That was a beautiful Tornado DDT by Kaminari, showing that despite his major attitude change, still has the athleticism that made him such a popular figure back in his indie days," Beth explained as Kaminari hit a couple of standing leg drops across Panzer's throat before picking him back up, and hitting him with a Side Slam Backbreaker. However, rather than let him fall, Kaminari kept him over his knee and knocked Panzer down with a hard Lariat before going for a pinfall, hooking both of his legs.
Ref: 1…2..
"Panzer still able to kick out, but that Lariat had to hurt!" Beth exclaimed as Kaminari picked Panzer back up, and Irish whipped him into the corner chest first. Panzer staggered out of the corner before Kaminari knocked Panzer down with another hard Lariat. The crowd continued booing as Kaminari grabbed Panzer's head, and locked him in a Headscissors. Kaminari slapped Panzer on the top of the head, telling him to tap out, which Panzer refused to do as Scam started banging on the ring apron to encourage Kaminari.
"Kaminari now has his legs wrapped around Panzer's neck and head, and with the hits to the steel steps earlier tonight, Panzer may fall unconscious here!" Okabe exclaimed as Panzer tried to roll to the ropes, but Kaminari was able to roll him and Panzer back to the center of the ring. The crowd booed as Kaminari hit several elbows to the top of Panzer's head, but Panzer was still barely conscious, preventing the referee from ending the match. After another half a minute in the hold, Panzer put his feet flat on the ground and grabbed Kaminari's hands in a tight grip. The crowd cheered loudly as Panzer started pulling himself and Kaminari back to his feet, keeping Kaminari in an Electric Chair Drop.
"Wow! Look at the strength of the leader of the Panzer Army! He's practically deadlifting Kaminari off of the ground!" Cornette exclaimed as Kaminari tried to punch his way out of the hold, but Panzer was able to hit Kaminari with an Electric Chair Drop, causing the crowd to cheer as Panzer got into a seated position, catching his breath, before crawling to the corner. The crowd continued cheering as Panzer started climbing up to the top rope, but Kaminari was already starting to get back to his feet, with a hand on his back.
"Panzer looking to go high-risk once again, but Kaminari looks like he's back up already!" Beth exclaimed as Kaminari hit several punches to the side of Panzer's face before climbing back to the second rope. The crowd booed as Kaminari punched Panzer in the face several times before putting him in position for a Superplex. However, the crowd started cheering again as Panzer hit Kaminari in the gut several times before headbutting Kaminari in the face several times. This caused Kaminari to fall off of the middle rope, allowing Panzer to balance himself on the top rope, hit Kaminari with the Eagle Splash (Frog Splash), and go for the pinfall, hooking both of Kaminari's legs.
Ref: 1…2..
"Panzer nailed the Eagle Splash perfectly, but Kaminari is still able to kick out!" Cornette exclaimed as Panzer pulled himself back to his feet, and waited for Kaminari to get back to his feet. When Kaminari got back to his feet, holding his chest in pain, Panzer ran the ropes and hit a couple of Clotheslines, a Running Neckbreaker, and a Single Knee Facebreaker. The crowd continued to cheer as Panzer grabbed Kaminari's arm, and hit him with the H.N.A (Kazuchika Okada's Rainmaker Clothesline), turning him inside out.
"What a powerful clothesline by Panzer, sending Kaminari twisting in the air!" Beth exclaimed as Panzer grabbed Kaminari, and put him in a Fireman's Carry Position. However, the crowd booed as Kaminari raked Panzer's eyes, allowing him to escape the Fireman's Carry. Kaminari then started hitting several Knife-Edge Chops to Panzer's chest before putting him in a Vertical Suplex position. However, Panzer was able to jump out of the hold, land behind Kaminari, and hit him with a Dragon Suplex before running the ropes, and hitting Kaminari in the side of the head with a Running Knee Strike.
"A powerful knee to the head by Panzer, leaving Kaminari completely dazed!" Okabe exclaimed as Panzer picked Kaminari up, and much to the crowd's delight hit him with the D-Town Piston (Rock Bottom) before going for a pinfall.
Ref: 1…2..
Kaminari kicked out, but the crowd cheered as Panzer grabbed Kaminari's arm, and locked him in the Anaconda Vice.
"Panzer had Kaminari locked in the Anaconda Vice! Can we see an upset submission victory here!?" Okabe asked as Kaminari started dragging himself to the ropes. The crowd cheered as Panzer was able to roll away from the ropes, but the crowd booed as Kaminari continued rolling, allowing him to drape his arm over the middle rope. The crowd booed as Panzer let go of the hold, but responded by hitting several clubs to the back before running the ropes, attempting to hit a Leapfrog Body Guillotine. However, Kaminari was able to roll out of the way and hit Panzer with a German Suplex after Panzer had hit the middle rope with his legs. The crowd booed as Kaminari flipped the fans off while bridging into a pinfall.
Ref: 1…2..
"How Kaminari was able to flip off the fans and bridge into a pin is something I'll never know, but it still was not enough to bring Panzer down!" Cornette exclaimed as Kaminari picked Panzer up, and hit him with a Headbutt that sent him falling into the corner. The crowd continued booing as Kaminari ran the ropes and attempted to hit a Running Knee in the corner, but Panzer was able to dodge and hit him with a Sidewinder Back Suplex. The crowd cheered as Panzer went into the ring, and started slapping his leg, telling the cheering crowd that he was about to hit the Panzerschreck Kick (Roderick Strong's Sick Kick). However, Scam got onto the apron to distract the referee once he noticed that Stan Smith was running to the ring.
"Panzer looks to finish the match off, but Stan is coming down to mess things up as usual!" Beth exclaimed in annoyance as Stan jumped onto the apron, and while the referee was still distracted, hit Panzer in the back with the American Flag that he often carried to the ring during his entrance. The crowd booed as Stan jumped off of the apron, and waved his flag in the air as Kaminari recovered, and ran at Panzer, hitting him with the Surge (Claymore Kick). Scam also jumped off of the apron to cheer that Kaminari had gotten back into the match, causing the crowd to boo louder.
"Oh come on! Not like this, Panzer had this match won!" Beth exclaimed in disappointment as Kaminari grabbed both of Panzer's arms, and hit him with the Aftershock DDT (Future Shock DDT). The crowd booed loudly as Kaminari went for the pin, hooking both of Panzer's legs back as Stan and Scam continued cheering on the outside.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Denki Kaminari!" Mary Hughes announced as Scam rolled into the ring, and hugged Kaminari. Kaminari smirked at the crowd, ruffling Scam's hair with his hand as he started breathing heavily. Stan then immediately went into the ring while Kaminari was celebrating, and started stomping on Panzer's back and the back of his leg.
"Kaminari able to pick up another huge win on Octane here, but Stan isn't done with Panzer yet!" Cornette exclaimed as Stan grabbed Panzer, and locked him in the Patriot Lock (Ankle Lock), twisting Panzer's ankle as Scam and Kaminari stayed in the corner to laugh at Panzer. Panzer tried to break out of the hold, but the crowd booed louder as Kaminari started stomping on Panzer, allowing Stan to continue holding him in the Ankle Lock.
"Stan trying to show Panzer what could be in his future at LWF Reborn's Wrestlepalooza, and Kaminari seems to like it!" Okabe exclaimed as the crowd began cheering as KIRISHIMA came running down to the ring. KIRISHIMA grabbed Stan, and started clubbing him in the back before picking him up, and hitting him with a Scoop Slam. Kaminari attempted to punch KIRISHIMA, but KIRISHIMA was able to dodge, grab both Kaminari and Scam by the hair, smashing their heads together.
"Thank God for KIRISHIMA! I was afraid that those two were going to do something bad to Panzer!" Beth exclaimed as KIRISHIMA clotheslined Scam out of the ring, and did the same thing to Kaminari. Stan attempted to come back into the ring, but Panzer, still trying to get back to his feet, kicked Stan in the gut, distracting him long enough to allow KIRISHIMA to knock Stan off of the ring apron with another Clothesline. The crowd cheered as KIRISHIMA helped Panzer up, who responded by patting him on the shoulder as a thank you.
"Panzer may have lost the match here tonight, but he gained an ally in his fight against Stan Smith!" Okabe exclaimed as Panzer and KIRISHIMA hi-fived each other as Stan told the fans to shut up while Kaminari simply glared at KIRISHIMA and Panzer as he helped Scam back up to his feet. The camera then panned to the backstage interview area, where BTWF Champion Natsu Dragneel was standing backstage next to Todd Grisham.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the BTWF Champion, Natsu Dragneel. Firstly Natsu, I wanted to congratulate you on your defense of the BTWF Championship in the Triple Decker Cage match at Christmas Chaos," Todd said as Natsu nodded, cricking his neck with a pained expression on his face.
"Thanks, Todd, and while I am still the BTWF Champion around here, it's hard to walk around here like a winner after what happened with Kaminari after the match," Natsu explained as Todd nodded in understanding before Todd began talking again.
"That's right. We just heard Kaminari brag about what he did to Mordecai and his intentions of going after the BTWF Championship. What do you have to say to that?" Todd asked as Natsu grabbed the microphone out of Todd's hand, and glared at the camera.
"Kaminari, if you wanted a shot at my BTWF Championship, all you had to do was ask. But no, you had to nearly kill Mordecai and attack me from behind like a coward. When you're ready to face me like a man, I'll be waiting, and I'll still be the BTWF Champion by the time you grow a pair," Natsu said into the camera as Dutch Van Der Linde came walking into the shot, over-dramatically wiping crocodile tears from his eyes with a handkerchief.
"That…that was truly beautiful Natsu. And I really do hope Mordecai comes back from his fall stronger than ever," Dutch said in between fake sobs. Faster than you can flip a coin, Dutch stopped crying, threw his handkerchief away, and smirked at Natsu.
"Now that we have all that taken care of, I'm here to offer you a challenge, since I know how much you like those," Dutch offered, causing Natsu to raise an eyebrow in interest.
"OK? What's this challenge you have?" Natsu asked as Dutch patted the BTWF Championship that was over Natsu's shoulder as Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney came walking into the shot. Sting playfully ruffled Todd's hair as Natsu's eyebrow raised back up as the Legacy came walking up.
"You get Soul Eater Evans, and you bring them to face my guys tonight in the main event. And if Sting and Rogue win, they're going to join the BTWF Championship match at the Battle Riot," Dutch explained as Natsu stroked his chin before patting Sting and Rogue on the chest.
"Let me go and get Soul, and we'll talk to Arthur about it. But if you guys want to get in our BTWF title match, then that's your business, but I hope you don't think this is going to be a cakewalk just because you're more experienced with a tag team," Natsu said before walking away from the backstage interview area. Dutch turned around to face his guys and patted them on the back of the necks in support.
"See? I told you guys that I could get you guys a shot at the big one!" Dutch celebrated as Sting and Rogue agreed, all three hugging each other as the camera panned to the stage, where the lights in the arena went down. The crowd booed as Sanity's 'Controlled Chaos' theme song played and Azula came out with Mai and Ty Lee following her. After the beat of the song dropped and looking around at the crowd, Azula led Mai and Ty Lee to the ring.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, accompanied to the ring by Azula and Ty Lee, she is Mai!" Mary Hughes announced, causing the crowd to boo louder as Mai, still wearing her gas mask, did the slit-throat taunt into the camera. Ty Lee, while still wearing her skull mask, jumped up and started yelling at the booing fans in the front row, causing Azula to pull her back, and pet her on the head to calm her down.
"It looks like Azula got what she wanted, and that was giving Mai a singles match to show what she could do outside of a tag team match," Cornette explained as Azula told the camera that this was only the beginning of her domination of Octane. All three women then jumped onto the apron, and once again looked on at the booing crowd before Azula raised her hand up, and snapped her fingers. The crowd booed as the lights flickered while Mai and Ty Lee removed their masks, with Ty Lee sticking her tongue out while screaming.
"Well, it looks like Ty's a lot more excited about Mai's upcoming match than the fans here," Beth noted as Azula once again patted Ty Lee on the top of the head, calming her down before telling Mai to show her opponent no mercy. Mai nodded before getting into the ring, as Azula led Ty Lee onto the floor, while Mai went into the corner, pounded on the top turnbuckle, and raised her fist. Just then, 'Dear Future Self' by Fall Out Boy played, causing the crowd to cheer as Alex and Haruko came out of the back.
"And her opponent, accompanied to the ring by Alex Vasquez, she is Haruko Haruhara!" Mary Hughes announced as the crowd continued cheering while Haruko came running to the ring, hi-fiving the fans in the front row. Azula looked at her and Alex in disgust while at the same time keeping Ty Lee away from Alex and Haruko. Haruko rolled into the ring from underneath the bottom rope, and kipped up to her feet, jumping in front of Mai, who did not move as Haruko started telling Mai that she was going down.
"Haruko displaying her usual confidence and loud-mouthed tendencies, which Mai is giving the cold shoulder to," Okabe noted as Haruko told the referee to ring the bell. The referee made sure Mai was ready before telling the timekeeper to ring the bell. When the bell rang, Mai and Haruko locked up in the middle of the ring, the two trying to push each other, with the crowd cheering as Haruko put Mai in the corner. The crowd cheered and laughed as Haruko let go of Mai, and patted her on the head, which caused Mai to attempt to hit Haruko with a punch to the face, but Haruko was able to push Mai back into the corner and hit her with several punches to the face.
"Haruko with several right hands to the side of Mai's face, keeping her trapped in the corner," Okabe narrated as Haruko Irish-whipped Mai into the diagonal corner, and before Mai could turn around, Haruko hit a Jumping Corner Clothesline, and pulled her out of the corner. The crowd continued to cheer as Haruko jumped off of the 2nd rope, and knocked Mai down with a Headscissors. Mai was able to get up quickly and attempted to hit Haruko with a Running Clothesline, but Haruko was able to counter with a Hurricanrana before rolling her up into a pin.
Ref: 1…
"Well, it looks like Mai may not have been ready for Haruko—and Azula's joining us on commentary," Cornette explained as Azula grabbed a headset from the table while Mai tried to roll out of the ring. Haruko was able to pick Mai up, but Mai hit Haruko with a Knife-Edge Uppercut to the throat of Haruko. The crowd booed as Mai started hitting several kicks to the chest before attempting to knock her down with a kick to the side of the head. However, Haruko was able to dodge, run the ropes, and springboard off of the 2nd rope, attempting to hit her with a Springboard Back Elbow.
"That's right because I heard some of the trash you were trying to speak, Cornette! Mai is ready for this match, and Haruko has just gotten lucky. You can see that from the way she just caught Haruko mid-move!" Azula exclaimed as Mai had Haruko in a German Suplex position, and attempted to hit her with a German Suplex, but Haruko was able to hit several elbows to the side of Mai's head before rolling her up in a Victory Roll.
Ref: 1…2.
"Surprise roll-up there by Haruko, but Mai still able to get her shoulders off of the mat. Azula did say that part of her training with Mai and Ty Lee is to be ready for anything," Okabe explained as Mai grabbed Haruko by the hair, and started hitting her with several knees to the gut before attempting to throw Haruko out of the ring. However, the crowd cheered as Haruko skinned the cat, and springboarded off of the second rope to knock Mai down with a Springboard Back Elbow.
"Well, she certainly wasn't prepared for that Springboard Back Elbow!" Beth exclaimed as Mai rolled out of the ring in front of the announcers' table. Azula glared at Beth before leaning over to check on Mai as Haruko clapped in sync with the cheering fans before running the ropes, attempting a Suicide Dive through the ropes. However, Mai was able to dodge out of the way just in time, causing Haruko to crash into the top of the announcers' table face first. The crowd booed as Mai picked Haruko up, and slammed her face first into the top of the announcers' table several times.
"You were saying, Beth!? Mai was able to use her superior psychology to dodge Haruko's attempt at a Suicide Dive!" Azula celebrated as Mai grabbed Haruko by the hair, and threw her into the ring. Ty Lee cheered Mai on as she followed Haruko back into the ring, and started stomping on her back before running the ropes, and hitting a Jumping Stomp onto Haruko's back before going for a pin.
Ref: 1…2
"Mai is more of a ground and pound style of wrestler, which is a perfect contrast to Haruko's more high-flying style," Okabe explained as Mai grabbed Haruko once again, and dragged her to the ropes, draping her head over the middle rope. The crowd booed as Mai started pressing Haruko's throat against the middle rope, choking her before the referee pulled her away. Mai then ran the ropes, and hit a Running Knee Strike to the back before picking Haruko up, and hitting her with a Back Suplex.
"That's right Okabe, as Mai, right now, is doing a good job of slowing Haruko down," Cornette agreed as Mai got back to her feet, and hit several Fist Drops to the top of the head before stomping on her gut. The crowd continued booing as Mai ran the ropes, and hit Haruko with a Running Big Boot to the face before running the ropes again, hitting a Running Leg Drop across Haruko's throat. Mai lifted her fist up again before grabbing the top rope, using it to help her hit several Jumping Stomps to the chest of Haruko.
"Some vicious stomps to the chest of Haruko, and you can see that they're so vicious that they're causing Haruko to cough and try to get air back in her lungs!" Beth exclaimed as Mai ran the ropes and hit a Sliding Knee to the chest of Haruko before going for the pinfall, hooking both of her legs back.
Ref: 1…2..
Haruko rolled her shoulder out, and Mai responded by picking Haruko up and sending her back down with a Russian Legsweep. The crowd continued booing as Mai started hitting a grounded Haruko with several back elbows to the side of the head before the referee pulled her off.
"You can see there that Mai has a lot of controlled aggression, meaning that while she can hit hard and fast, she knows when to strike and when not to strike," Azula explained as Mai grabbed Haruko by the hair, and put her on the top turnbuckle. Mai climbed up onto the middle turnbuckle and started punching Haruko in the side of the head. However, the crowd began cheering as Haruko hit several forearms to the side of Mai's head, causing Mai to start staggering.
"Haruko still has some fight left in her! Can she finally stop Mai's momentum!?" Beth asked as Mai pulled herself back up, and hit her with a couple of headbutts to the chest before climbing up to the top rope, and putting her in position for a Superplex. However, mid-Superplex, Haruko was able to shift her weight, and turn the Superplex into a falling Crossbody, causing the crowd to cheer as Haruko rolled Mai up with a pinfall, hooking both of her legs back.
Ref: 1…2..
"Haruko got lucky there, but Mai is too talented and experienced to fall for a trick like that!" Azula exclaimed, with some worry evident in her voice. The crowd cheered and clapped along with Alex banging on the ring apron to get Haruko back into the match. Haruko had just started leaning on the apron as Mai attempted to run into the corner with a Jumping Body Splash, but Haruko was able to get both of her knees up, sending Mai's chest crashing into her knees. The crowd continued cheering as Haruko got onto the middle turnbuckle, and hit Mai with a Missile Dropkick.
"Very nice Missile Dropkick by Haruko, enough force to almost send Mai's jaw flying!" Cornette exclaimed as Haruko put Mai on her knees, and hit her with several kicks to the chest before running the ropes, and attempting to hit her with a Shining Wizard. Mai was able to duck, but the crowd continued cheering as Haruko continued running, and hit Mai in the back of the head with a Shining Wizard. Haruko then got onto her feet and hit a Standing Moonsault onto Mai before going for another pinfall, once again hooking both of her legs back.
Ref: 1…2..
"A close two count there, but you have to wonder how long Haruko can go after having her chest and midsection struck hard multiple times by a striker like Mai," Okabe explained as Haruko, after taking several deep breaths, grabbed Mai by the hair, and pushed her into the ropes. When Mai rebounded, Haruko attempted to hit Mai with a Frankensteiner, but Mai was able to keep herself on her feet. Haruko landed on her knees, and Mai responded by grabbing Haruko's wrist, and hitting her with several kicks to the chest before pulling her back up to her feet, attempting to hit Haruko with another Back Suplex. However, Haruko was able to jump behind Mai, land on her feet, and send Mai draped over the middle rope with a Jumping Dropkick to the back.
"Well, there's your answer Okabe, as Mai seems to be in prime position for a Tiger Feint Kick!" Cornette exclaimed as Haruko ran the ropes, and hit a Tiger Feint Kick onto Mai, sending her staggering into the middle of the ring. The crowd cheered as Haruko springboarded off of the apron, and attempted to hit a Flying Clothesline, but the crowd booed as Mai was able to knock her down with a Lariat to the chest.
"What a counter by Mai, nearly caving in her chest with a Clothesline!" Beth exclaimed in shock as Mai picked Haruko up, and hit her with a Fisherman's Buster before going for the pinfall, hooking both of her legs back as the crowd booed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Mai!" Mary Hughes announced as rather than celebrate with the referee, Mai pushed the referee away and started stomping on a downed Haruko's back. The crowd cheered as Alex ran into the ring, tackled Mai down, and started punching her in the side of the head. Ty Lee then ran into the ring and started stomping on Alex, who responded by getting back to her feet, and trading punches with Ty Lee.
"Well, it's been fun here, but I believe I'm needed elsewhere," Azula said as she put her headset down, and ran into the ring. With her good arm, Azula grabbed a police baton from one of her pockets and hit Alex in the back a couple of times. The crowd booed as this allowed Ty Lee to hit a kick to the side of the head, sending Alex down to the ground, allowing her to mount Alex and hit her with multiple forearms to the back of the head. Haruko tried getting up, but Azula hit Haruko right in the face with the baton.
"What a shot with the baton! Azula may have broken Haruko's nose with that one!" Beth exclaimed as Azula helped Mai up with her good arm, and told her and Ty Lee to throw Haruko outside. Ty Lee and Mai looked confused, but after Azula whispered in both of their ears, they nodded before Mai grabbed a still unconscious Haruko by the hair, and threw her outside of the ring. The crowd continued booing as Azula hit Alex in the midsection a couple more times with the police baton as Ty Lee jumped up to the top of the steel steps.
"I don't know what Azula and her gang have planned, but whatever it is, it doesn't look good," Cornette noted as Mai put Haruko in position for a Piledriver. Ty Lee then jumped off of the stairs, assisting Mai with hitting Haruko with a Spike Piledriver on the outside, sending Haruko's head bouncing off of the padded concrete. Just then, multiple security guards came running down, with Azula immediately rolling out of the ring, telling the guards that they were done, and only trying to prove a point.
"A Spike Piledriver on the outside, possibly breaking Haruko's neck! I don't know what kind of point Azula and her friends were trying to make, but let's hope that Haruko is OK!" Okabe exclaimed as Azula led Ty Lee and Mai away. Alex rolled out of the ring, with her right arm wrapped tightly around her midsection as she checked on Haruko along with a couple of medical personnel. As medical personnel got Haruko on a stretcher while Azula celebrated with her gang, the camera panned to the backstage interview area, where Clover Lamoreaux, Charlotte Belew, and Jerry Lewis were standing next to Yuko Yoshida.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the French Phenom, Clover Lamoreaux. Now Clover, last night, you cost Zia's team the Lethal Lockdown match against the Sisterhood of Darkness. The question is, why did you do it?" Yuko asked as Clover sighed in annoyance. Jerry attempted to answer the question for her, Clover shook her head and moved in closer to the microphone.
"J'avais besoin de montrer a tout le monde que Zia n'etait rien d'autre qu'un imposteur," Clover explained in French, leaving Yuko confused.
"Excuse me? I'm sorry, but I don't speak French," Yuko explained. Clover simply chuckled at her before patronizingly patting her on the head.
"No I'm sorry, I shouldn't have expected you to understand a beautiful language like the French language. What I said was that I was trying to expose Zia as a fraud. She was not the leader that the women needed in a match like Lethal Lockdown against a group like the Sisterhood of Darkness," Clover explained as Yuko nodded before moving the microphone closer to her mouth again.
"What do mean by that, Mrs. Lamoreaux?" Yuko asked as Clover sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose before responding.
"I mean she was so easily distracted by my presence that she essentially cost her team the match. And then, she doesn't even pick me to be on her team, and picks some rookie to be on her team rather than me!? Does that sound like a quality leader to you?" Clover asked before she, Charlotte, and Jerry ducked as a trash can flew right at them. The camera turned to the left, revealing that Zia was marching over to her.
"Oh, I'm a crappy leader, huh!? How about I lead you to the ring and beat the ever-loving shit out of you!?" Zia yelled out as Jerry told security to come down, and get Zia away from Clover. A couple of security guards did come along, and pulled Zia away, causing Clover to smirk as she flicked her hair in front of a furious Zia.
"As much as I'd love to give you a lesson, I'm not properly dressed for the occasion. This is a $500 shirt, and I'm not going to get it wrinkled and ripped taking you on. Next week, we'll have a match, and I'm going to show you that you're nothing but a choke artist!" Clover exclaimed as Zia was pulled away by security. Clover waved goodbye to Zia before turning around to face Jerry and Charlotte.
"Jerry, let's head to the GM's office and make that happen," Clover said as Jerry nodded, leading her and Charlotte out of the backstage interview area before the camera panned to a commercial break.

The camera panned back to the backstage interview area, where Shinji Ikari was standing next to Jack Korpela.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the BTWF United States Champion Shinji Ikari, who has said that he will be participating in this month's Battle Riot PPV, being in the titular match," Korpela explained as Shinji nodded.
"That's right. Starshow is going to be a huge show, and there's no better man to main event the show than the 'Undisputed' best in the company," Shinji explained as he patted the BTWF United States Championship, which Korpela noticed.
"Speaking of the Battle Riot, do you plan on defending the BTWF United States Championship anytime soon?" Korpela asked as Shinji laughed before patting Korpela on the back.
"Of course, I know that I have to defend this title at least once a month, and I can't do that at the PPV if I'm going to be in the Battle Riot. So, I want to officially challenge Death the Kid to a BTWF United States Championship match in three weeks' time," Shinji responded as Korpela nodded with an eyebrow raised.
"Now I have one last question; how is Rei feeling after not only losing the First Blood match but her BTWF World Women's Championship?" Korpela asked as Shinji sighed before he ran his right hand through his hair.
"Rei's doing better. She's still got a little bit of a headache, but Rei's more determined than ever to get the BTWF World Women's Championship back," Shinji said before once again patting his BTWF United States Championship and walking out of the backstage interview area before the camera panned to the ring, where Jean Kirstein is in the middle of the ring with a microphone in his hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the sexiest man in the BTWF is here. And not only am I here to show the ladies what a real, sexy man looks like, but I'm also here to issue an open challenge," Jean explained, causing the crowd to boo as Jean started undoing the strap of his robes. Jean then turned to the stage, where he ran a hand through his hair.
"You see, when I debuted here, I already knew that I was going to be the best-looking man in the BTWF, but then, I was beaten in my first match by some lucky punk. So, therefore, I wanted to challenge this punk to a rematch, and that punk is Mordecai!" Jean exclaimed, causing the crowd to boo in confusion. Jean glared at the crowd before looking back at the entranceway, looking at an imaginary watch, waiting for Mordecai to come out.
"This has to be a joke, right? Jean knows that Mordecai is in a hospital back in Chicago, right?" Cornette asked as a referee came running to the ring as Jean whispered something in the referee's ear.
"Well, well, it looks like Mordecai is too much of a coward to come out and face me in a rematch. I'm sure that 'broken back' and 'several internal injuries' are just a way to prevent the inevitable. I also need some momentum heading into the Battle Riot, that's right I'm gonna be in the Battle Riot by the way, but since Mordecai is too much of a coward to come out of the ring, I want this referee here to give me the victory by forfeit," Jean explained as he pulled the referee to the center of the ring, and told the referee to start counting.
"You have GOT to be kidding me! Jean has to know that Mordecai isn't here!" Beth exclaimed in annoyance as the referee turned to the stage, and began counting. While the referee was counting, Jean pulled out his hand mirror and began admiring his reflection in the mirror as the crowd booed him.
Ref: 1…2…3…4…5
"Well to be fair, Jean was probably so busy looking at his own reflection that he didn't even notice the severity of Mordecai's injuries," Okabe explained as the referee continued counting while Jean started fixing his hair and gazing at his reflection in the mirror.
Ref: …6…7…8…9…10
"Now Mary, I want you to tell the timekeeper to ring the bell and announce me as the winner," Jean explained as Mary sighed and told the timekeeper to ring the bell.
*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner as a result of a forfeit, 'The Definition of Perfection' Jean Kirstein!" Mary Hughes announced, rolling her eyes as Jean raised his fist in the air and began jumping up in the air as if he had won the BTWF Championship. The crowd booed and chanted that Jean sucked as he hugged the referee before pushing him down, and rolling out of the ring.
"I…don't even know what to say here. Jean's out here acting like he actually won something," Cornette noted in shock as Jean continued admiring himself in the mirror. The crowd continued booing and chanting 'Mordecai!' as Jean ignored them and continued making his way up the entranceway.
"I do hope he gets his eyes away from the mirror, and maybe get a couple of sessions in therapy," Beth explained as the camera panned to the backstage area while Jean was kissing his reflection in the mirror. The camera caught up with Mai and Maki Zenin, who were in their locker room in front of the TV, along with Hana Uzaki, who was standing next to them with a microphone in her hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with one of the newest BTWF women's tag teams, the Zenin Sisters, who appear to be highly invested in the next match," Hana explained as Maki and Mai looked up at Hana and pointed at the TV.
"Those two jokers, Mina and Guri, have a match coming up soon, and we're going to be watching from the back to see how we can help them improve," Mai Z. explained as Hana looked at the two with a raised eyebrow.
"I can tell you're surprised, Hana, to let me explain. Over these past few days, Mai and I realized that rather than attacking Mina and Guri for disgracing the wrestling business with their foolishness, we can help them by instructing them on how to properly represent the wrestling business," Maki explained as she poured a glass of wine for herself. Maki then poured another glass of wine for Mai, who accepted it with a nod for thanks.
"That way, we can not only gain some allies in the BTWF locker room, but we can also make the BTWF Women's Division into a much more serious and professional division," Mai responded before Uzaki took the microphone back.
"One last question before I leave you two and get back to the match coming up; when are you two going to step inside the ring?" Uzaki asked as Mai and Maki looked at each other, and smirked.
"We'll be in the ring next week, and our opponents will be Mina and Guri. This week we'll give them written feedback. Next week, we'll give them physical feedback," Maki responded before she and Mai clinked their wine glasses together as the camera panned to the stage, where Bayley's 'Turn It Up' theme song played, causing the crowd to cheer as Guri came running out of the back. Guri pointed at the crowd and raised her hands as wacky waving inflatable tube men came shooting out of the ground before the theme song changed to Rich Swann's 'Can You Handle This' theme song played.
"The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall! In the ring, the team of Clementine and Kaisa! And their opponents, the team of Mina Ashido and Guri!" Mary Hughes announced. The crowd booed as Clementine and Kaisa raised their fists to celebrate their assumed victory as Mina moonwalked out of the back and onto the stage next to Guri.
"Clementine and Kaisa, according to Sherry's Twitter, have been removed from the Sisterhood, saying that they're in the way of the ultimate goal of the Sisterhood," Okabe explained as Mina and Guri hugged each other before walking down the entranceway. Mina and Guri hi-fived fans in the front row as the crowd began cheering again as when Guri and Mina made it to ringside, the two gave each other another hug before sliding into the ring from underneath the bottom rope.
"We also heard that Mina and Guri are going to have a match next week against their biggest critics in the BTWF, Mai and Maki Zenin. So you have to believe that they want to win this match for momentum and to show what the Zenin Sisters are in for," Okabe further explained as Mina and Guri kipped up to their feet, and raised their hands in the air, giving the crowd an air-hug as Clementine and Kaisa attempted to rush Mina and Guri, but they were able to dodge and knock both former Sisterhood members with Stereo Dropkicks to the face.
"Mina and Guri now showing that they're more than just a couple of fun-loving girls and that they have some in-ring awareness!" Cornette exclaimed as Guri went onto the apron, with the referee ringing the bell to start the match. Kaisa got back up and attempted to run at Mina once again, and Mina responded by dodging with the splits, jumping back up to her feet, and knocking Kaisa to the ground with a Jumping Knee to the face. The crowd cheered as Mina kept Kaisa up, and hit her with multiple kicks to Kaisa's sides before hitting her with a couple of Knife-Edge Chops and grabbing her hand.
"Mina is dominating against Kaisa, taking advantage of her speed to keep her off balance," Beth noted as Mina tagged Guri into the match before walking up to the top rope, and much to the crowd's delight knocked Kaisa down with a Ropewalk Arm Drag. The crowd continued cheering as Guri springboarded into the ring with a Diving Body Press. Guri picked Kaisa up and started hitting her with multiple forearms to the face. Guri attempted to throw her into the corner, but Kaisa was able to stop herself from landing into the corner and hitting a couple of Jumping Headbutts to Guri's gut.
"Kaisa with some hard headbutts to the chest of Guri, trying to throw her off-balance," Cornette noted as Kaisa got on the second rope, and attempted to hit a stunned Guri with a Diving Double Ax Handle from the middle rope, but Guri was able to counter by hitting Kaisa with an Exploder Suplex and going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2
Kaisa kicked out and immediately attempted to crawl to Clementine, who had just gotten back up to her feet and onto the apron. However, Guri was able to grab Kaisa in a waistlock and started clubbing her in the back. The crowd continued cheering as Guri sent Kaisa into the corner and hit her with a Running Clothesline in the corner. However, when Guri attempted to hit a Running Bulldog, Kaisa was able to push Guri off of her.
"What a powerful push, sending Guri almost crashing into the ropes!" Okabe exclaimed as Guri attempted to get back up, but Kaisa hit Guri with a Standing Dropkick to the side of Guri's face, knocking her down. The crowd booed as Kaisa pushed Mina off of the apron, quickly dragged Guri to her corner, and tagged Clementine into the match. Mina attempted to get into the ring, and rush Kaisa, but the referee stopped her.
"Mina may want to calm down. Clementine and Kaisa could take advantage of the referee being distracted, just like that!" Beth exclaimed as Kaisa and Clementine started stomping on Guri's back and chest before Kaisa left the ring once the referee turned back around. Clementine picked Guri up and threw her into the corner before running after her, hitting her with a Running Body Avalanche. The crowd continued booing as Clementine hit Guri with a Short-Arm Clothesline, sending her out of the corner before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…
"Guri able to kick out, but Clementine following up with some stomps to the chest!" Cornette exclaimed as Clementine kicked Guri in the face before picking her up, Clementine then picked Guri up in a Fallaway Slam position, hitting Guri with a couple of Backbreakers. Clementine stopped to smirk at the booing crowd before throwing Guri overhead with a Fallaway Slam. The crowd continued booing as Clementine stepped on Guri's chest before tagging Kaisa back into the match.
"Clementine dominating Guri here, almost throwing her out of the ring with that Fallaway Slam!" Okabe exclaimed as Clementine picked Kaisa up, and sent her crashing down onto Guri's chest by hitting Kaisa with a Scoop Slam. Clementine then ran the ropes and hit a Jumping Leg Drop across Guri's throat before Kaisa ran at Guri and hit her with a Running Corkscrew Shooting Star Press before going for another pinfall.
Ref: 1…2.
"I've never seen Kaisa do a move like that before! It may have only gotten a two count, but definitely got some more eyes on her!" Beth exclaimed as Kaisa picked Guri up, and hit her with a couple of Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before Guri grabbed Kaisa's hand. The crowd cheered as Guri hit several punches to the side of Kaisa's head, but Kaisa was able to dodge one of the punches, and hit her with a Northern Lights Suplex, bridging into a pin.
Ref: 1…2..
Guri was able to kick out, and Kaisa immediately grabbed both of Guri's arms, and locked her in a Butterfly Lock, pushing the top of her head into Guri's back as the crowd continued to boo.
"Kaisa smartly keeping a hold of Guri, locking her in a devastating Butterfly Lock!" Okabe exclaimed as Guri tried to get back to her feet, but from the apron, Clementine punched Guri in the face several times, sending Guri back onto her knees as Kaisa continued to keep the Butterfly Lock in. After less than a minute, Guri hit a couple of Headbutts onto Kaisa before taking her down with an Arm Drag, causing the crowd to cheer. Clementine once again attempted to interfere, but Guri knocked Clementine off of the apron with a Superkick.
"What a kick by Guri! She may like to give out hugs, but she can give out some vicious kicks!" Beth exclaimed as Kaisa kicked Guri in the gut, and attempted to springboard off of the 2nd rope with a Hurricanrana, but Guri was able to counter this by hitting her with a Dropkick to the chest. The crowd began cheering louder as Guri was able to make it to her corner, and tag Mina into the match, who springboards back into the ring, hitting a Twisting Body Press onto Kaisa before going for a pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Mina is finally able to come into the match, and already wowed the crowd with that Twisting Splash!" Cornette exclaimed as Mina noticed that Clementine was starting to get up, so Mina ran the ropes, hitting a Flipping Senton over the top rope, sending Clementine crashing back onto the ground before jumping back up onto the apron. Kaisa attempted to run at her, but Mina was able to counter with a kick to the side of Kaisa's head. Mina then pushed Kaisa away and hit her with a Springboard Hurricanrana.
"Mina bouncing around the ring, sending both Clementine and Kaisa flying and dropping around the ring!" Beth exclaimed as Mina picked Kaisa up, and started hitting her with several punches to the face before running the ropes and hitting her with a couple of Running Back Elbows. The crowd continued cheering as when Kaisa got back to her feet, Mina hit Kaisa with a Spinning Kick to the chest before springboarding off of the middle rope and hitting her with a Springboard Crossbody before going for another pinfall.
Ref: 1…2..
The crowd booed as Clementine grabbed Mina's legs, dragged her out of the ring, and hit her with a Spinebuster that sent her back into the ring apron.
"Thankfully, Clementine was there to break up the pin, sending Mina crashing into the steel ring apron!" Okabe exclaimed as Clementine threw Mina back into the ring, but the crowd cheered as Guri came running at her from the apron, and hit Clementine with a Baseball Slide Dropkick, sending her staggering away from the apron. The crowd cheered as Guri climbed up to the top rope, and hit a Diving Crossbody onto Clementine, sending both of them crashing onto the floor.
"What a massive dive from Guri, doing a great job taking out Clementine!" Cornette exclaimed as Kaisa picked herself up, and springboarded onto the middle rope to hit a Springboard Corkscrew Moonsault before going for the pin, hooking both of Mina's legs back.
Ref: 1…2.
"Mina able to kick out, and Kaisa looks completely frustrated with the fact she didn't win the match right there!" Okabe exclaimed as Kaisa picked Mina up to her feet, and hit her with several forearms to the side of her face before picking her up, attempting to hit her with a Brainbuster. However, Mina was able to land on her feet, and knock Kaisa back down with a Neckbreaker.
"Kaisa's in position in the corner, and I think we all know what that means!" Beth exclaimed as Mina kipped back up to her feet, did a little break-dancing, and then jumped into the corner, and hit Kaisa with the Acid Rain (Split-Legged Moonsault). The crowd cheered as outside of the ring, Guri hit a Running Knee to the back of Clementine's head while Mina pinned Kaisa in the ring.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, the team of Mina Ashido and Guri!" Mary Hughes announced as the crowd cheered while Mina started break-dancing in the ring as Guri came back into the ring, and hugged the referee. The crowd continued cheering as once Mina got back to her feet, Guri gave her a hug, which Mina immediately returned as Maki and Mai Zenin came out of the back with notepads in their hands, shaking their heads.
"Mina and Guri got the victory here, and it looks like Maki and Mai weren't that impressed," Cornette explained as Mina and Guri glared at Maki and Mai. The crowd cheered as Mina asked Mary for her microphone, which Mary obliged to as Maki shook her head with a smirk on her face while Mai continued to glare at Mina and Guri.
"You know Zenins, all you've done since coming to the BTWF is complain. You complain about the 'state of the BTWF', the 'state of the Women's division', and the fact you think we're 'clowns'. I think that's funny, because if you think we're clowns, why did it take you almost a month to challenge us to a match?" Mina asked as the crowd cheered as she went down, and did a little more break-dancing, causing Maki and Mai to shake their heads in disgust.
"I mean yeah, we like to have a little fun, but as you saw here, don't think that we can't kick your asses!" Mina exclaimed, causing the crowd to continue cheering. Maki and Mai turned to Guri and asked if she had anything to say. Guri asked for the microphone from Mina, who willingly gave it to her, before she got onto the top rope, and looked right at the Zenin Sisters.
"Next week, you're going to wish that we were clowning around after we beat the both of you into the ground!" Guri exclaimed, causing the crowd to cheer as Mai shook her head while Maki told them that they were going down. The camera panned to the back as Mina and Guri continued to celebrate their win in the ring and Clementine helped Kaisa up, glaring at the ring. The camera then focused on the backstage interview area, where Todd Grisham was standing next to BTWF World Tag Team Champions Valentino and Baam along with their valets, Frida Suarez and Rachel Light.
"Val, Baam, congrats on retaining the BTWF World Tag Team Championships against Manny and Oso, but after this upcoming commercial break, you're going to be defending your BTWF World Tag Team Championships against Enter Enterprises' Joe Wolf and Charlie Bonifer," Todd explained as Rachel rolled her eyes, walked in front of everyone, put a hand on Todd's microphone, and leaned the microphone closer to her mouth.
"Yeah? What's your point?" Rachel asked with her hands on her hips, clearly annoyed at the fact she was even a part of this interview.
"Well my point is to ask if you two have any strategy going into a match against a team that you two have had run-ins with in the past," Todd responded. Rachel sighed before Valentino walked up, and patted Todd on the back with a smile on his face.
"Todd, don't worry about it. Baam and I haven't been teaming long and haven't teamed up against the Age of Aggression before, but we've had our own experiences with them. But we have been studying them, especially their match against Sheldon and Naruto, and we may have found a few chinks in the armor," Valentino said. Baam looked as though he was about to say something, but Rachel got in between him and Valentino.
"Woah, woah, woah! When the hell was this little meeting!?" Rachel asked in annoyance, as Baam shrunk in the background before Valentino interjected.
"We've been spending days doing it after our training in the gym. We need to study our opponents, isn't it?" Valentino asked as Rachel glared at him. Frida quickly grabbed Valentino's arm for support. Rachel shook her head with laughter before side-eyeing Baam, who shrunk even further away before facing Todd, who looked noticeably uncomfortable with the drama unfolding around him.
"That's a good point, but I just like to keep tabs on my charges. So next time you pull something like this, you better tell me," Rachel said, continuing to side-eye Valentino, Frida, and Baam.
"As for the match, Baam and Valentino are obviously going to beat Enter's little lapdogs. He can say whatever he wants, but me and Frida's problems that were started by Frida, aren't going to hinder our goal of retaining the BTWF World Tag Team Championships," Rachel explained as she walked off, leaving Frida fuming next to Valentino. Baam looked as though he was going to comfort Frida, but Rachel pulled on Baam's ring jacket, telling him to walk away with her.
"Well there you have it, folks, the BTWF World Tag Team Championship match will be coming up after the commercial break," Todd signed off as Valentino had Frida walk off, trying to calm her down before they had to go out for the match. The camera then panned to a commercial break as Todd gave Valentino a supportive pat on the back.

The camera panned to the locker room, where Soul Eater Evans was sitting in the locker room, wrapping wrist tape around his fists. As Soul finished wrapping tape around his right fist, he looked up to see BTWF Champion Natsu Dragneel walking up to him with the championship draped over his right shoulder.
"So, I heard we got a tag team match tonight?" Soul asked as Natsu's eyes widened slightly as he walked closer to Soul.
"Well, that saves me getting on my knees and begging you," Natsu joked as Soul responded with a light chuckle before getting up to his feet, keeping an eye on Natsu's BTWF Championship.
"Look, I'm not exactly happy about you putting my one-on-one match against you for the championship on the line in this tag team match," Soul said with his arms folded as Natsu chuckled while scratching the back of his head.
"Yeah, I figured you wouldn't."
"But, I would be more than happy to team up with you tonight, as long as we win so that we can go up against each other one-on-one at the Battle Riot," Soul explained as Natsu smiled while patting Soul on the shoulder.
"Same here, man. Look, I know this isn't exactly the best situation right now, but dealing with those two idiots is going to be some good exercise before our title match at the Battle Riot," Natsu explained. Natsu and Soul hi-fived each other before shaking each others' hands as Natsu left the locker room, leaving Soul to walk across the room to hit a punching bag. The camera then panned to the stage, where 'Sound of Madness' by Shinedown played, causing the crowd to boo as Joe and Charlie came out with Mr. Enter and Manabo following them out.
"The following tag team match is scheduled for one fall and it is for the BTWF World Tag Team Championships! Introducing the challengers, accompanied to the ring and representing Enter Enterprises, the team of Charlie Bonifer and Joe Wolf, the Age of Aggression!" Mary Hughes announced as the crowd continued booing as Manabo patted both Joe and Bonifer on the back as Enter applauded his tag team, telling the fans that his team was going to win.
"Bonifer and Joe got this World Tag Team Championship match after defeating former Enter Enterprises members and former BTWF World Tag Team Champions Naruto and Sheldon," Cornette explained as Bonifer growled at the crowd while Joe talked with Enter and Manabo about strategy for the match. Bonifer saw a couple of pro-Valentino and Baam signs and ripped them out of their hands.
"The tag titles have been in Joe and Charlie's crosshairs since they've arrived on the Octane brand, and this could be the night that they get it," Okabe explained as Bonifer ripped the signs in half before throwing them back into the audience, causing the crowd to boo louder. Joe laughed at the booing fans before patting Bonifer on the back, with Mr. Enter whispering some plans to Bonifer and Joe's ears before they nodded, and running to ringside. Bonifer walked up the steps before Joe rolled underneath the bottom rope as Bonifer climbed up to the top rope.
"Valentino and Baam also have problems going on in their group, so Enter Enterprises has to be confident going into this championship match," Beth explained as Bonifer raised his fists in the air while Joe yelled at the crowd that they were looking at the new BTWF World Tag Team Champions. 'Heroes of Today' by Once Monsters played, causing the crowd to cheer as Valentino came running out of the back, with Frida following after him, applauding him all the way to the top of the stage.
"And here comes one-half of the BTWF World Tag Team Champions!" Beth exclaimed as 'Born to Win' by Mutiny Within played. The crowd continued to cheer as Baam came running out, with a still miffed-looking Rachel accompanying him. Valentino and Baam then clinked their BTWF World Tag Team Championship belts together and started walking to the ring while hi-fiving fans in the front row.
"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 Baam!" Mary Hughes announced causing the crowd to cheer louder as Valentino and Baam hi-fived each other before Baam gave Rachel his half of the BTWF World Tag Team titles, and jumped from the ground all the way over the top rope, causing the crowd to explode.
"That is some impressive athleticism by Baam, which could very well be the difference-maker in this match," Cornette explained as Valentino gave his championship to Frida before running to the ringside area, and sliding underneath the bottom rope. Valentino then rolled back to his feet and patted Baam on the back, telling him not to worry and that they were going to win and keep the BTWF World Tag Team Championships. Rachel and Frida handed the belts to the referee, who raised them over his head while making sure both teams were ready, and then told the timekeeper to ring the bell while handing the belts to the ringside attendant.
"We are underway, with this BTWF World Tag Team Championship match," Okabe explained as Valentino and Bonifer started the match. Bonifer stuck his tongue out at Valentino before looking at Frida, giving her the slit-throat taunt while still having his tongue out. Valentino grabbed Bonifer by the arm, wrung it, and started punching Bonifer in the gut before Irish whipping him into the corner. However, Bonifer immediately got out of the corner and attempted a clothesline, but Valentino was able to knock Bonifer down with a Japanese Arm Drag. The crowd cheered as Valentino locked Bonifer in an armbar, with Manabo yelling at Bonifer to get out of the hold.
"Valentino has Bonifer locked in a tight armbar! This may not end the match, but damage to the arm is always an advantage for the opponent," Okabe explained as Bonifer was able to get onto his feet, spin his way out of the armbar, and locked him in a Standing Keylock. The crowd booed as Bonifer pushed Valentino into the corner, and started hitting him with multiple knees to the gut before letting go of the armbar. Bonifer then started punching Valentino in the corner, but Valentino was able to block one of the punches and put Bonifer into the corner.
"Valentino able to counter one of the punches that Bonifer tried to hit, sending him into the corner!" Beth exclaimed as Valentino hit a couple of Frying Pan Chops into the corner onto Bonifer's chest. Valentino then dragged Bonifer to his corner, tagged Baam into the match, and much to the crowd's delight, Baam jumped into the ring. Baam hit a couple of kicks to Bonifer's chest before Valentino Irish whipped Bonifer into the ropes. Baam hit a Dropkick to Bonifer's face, staggering him enough to let Valentino hit Bonifer with a German Suplex.
"Baam is now in the match, and he's now showing he and Valentino's impressive chemistry!" Cornette exclaimed as Valentino ran the ropes to hit a Running Senton onto Bonifer's chest. When Bonifer sat up to hold his chest, Baam ran the ropes and hit a Penalty Kick to Bonifer's face before going for the pin.

Baam grabbed Bonifer by the hair and started punching him a couple of times in the face before picking him up. However, Bonifer poked Baam in the eyes, and tagged Joe into the match, causing the crowd to boo as Joe kicked Baam in the gut a couple of times. Joe then Irish whipped Baam into the ropes, but Baam jumped over the top rope, causing the crowd to cheer as Joe tried to run after him. However, Baam countered Joe running at him with a kick to the side of the head before Springboarding back into the ring with a Springboard Sunset Flip pin onto Joe.
Ref: 1…2
"Baam tried to get a surprise roll-up victory there, much like how he and Valentino originally won the BTWF World Tag Team Championships!" Beth exclaimed as Joe kicked out, and attempted to kick Baam in the face, but Baam was able to Matrix dodge the kick and hit Joe with a Dropkick to the back of the head. The crowd continued cheering as Baam threw Joe into his corner, tagging Valentino back into the match. Baam ran the ropes and hit a Corner Wheel Kick onto the side of Joe's face before throwing him out of the corner, allowing Valentino to knock him down with a Spinebuster.
"Some more tag team offense by the champions, taking Joe down while Enter looks like he's having a heart attack on the outside!" Cornette exclaimed as Valentino hit a Standing Moonsault onto Joe before going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2
Valentino grabbed Joe by the beard and hit him with such a hard Frying Pan Chop that he flipped around in the air. Valentino then grabbed Joe and threw him into the corner hard, but the crowd booed as Bonifer was able to grab Joe and pull him away from the corner just before Valentino tried to hit Joe with a Running Body Avalanche.
"Bonifer saving Joe from becoming a pancake in the corner! This could be the chance Enter Enterprises needs to get some momentum back in this match!" Okabe exclaimed as Joe noticed Valentino dazed into the corner, and started stomping on his chest. Joe then ran the ropes, tagged Bonifer into the match, and hit Valentino in the side of the head with a Jumping Knee Strike. Bonifer then got into the ring and hit Valentino with a Running Corner Clothesline before grabbing his right arm, knocking Valentino down with a hard Short-Arm Clothesline, and going for the pin.

"Hard clothesline there by Bonifer, but Valentino still kicks out," Beth noted as Bonifer dropped a couple of knees onto Valentino's chest before running the ropes and hitting a Jumping Knee Drop to Valentino's face. The crowd continued booing as Bonifer flipped Frida and Rachel off before hitting Valentino with a Jumping Leg Drop across his throat. The crowd continued booing as Bonifer put Valentino in a Half-Nelson, and started kneeing him in the gut a couple of times before tagging Joe back into the match.
"Bonifer showing some major disrespect towards Valentino and Baam, showing the middle finger to their valets," Beth noted once again as while Bonifer was still in the Half-Nelson, Joe went up to them and kicked Valentino in the chest several times before Bonifer threw Valentino halfway across the ring with a Half-Nelson Suplex. The crowd booed as Joe mocked the fans for clapping for Valentino before running the ropes, hitting a Running Baseball Slide Dropkick to Valentino's chest, and going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2
"Some hard strikes to the chest, which is a good strategy for a man of Valentino's size. While Valentino does have enough stamina to do some high flying maneuvers that wrestlers his size normally don't do, his stamina may not be as high as Baam's," Okabe explained as Joe hit several Elbow Drops across the chest of Valentino. The crowd continued booing as Joe put Valentino on his knees, and started punching him in the side of the head as Rachel yelled at Valentino to get up. Valentino attempted to punch Joe away, hitting him in the gut a couple of times, but Joe kneed Valentino in the side of the head.
"Ouch! Joe sending Valentino falling back to the ground with a vicious knee right to the ear!" Cornette exclaimed as Joe ran the ropes and hit a couple of Running Leg Drops across the back of Valentino's neck. Joe then tagged Bonifer in the match before putting Valentino in a Front Facelock. Bonifer noticed that Valentino was trapped, and responded by pie-facing Baam, and hitting Valentino's back with a Standing Moonsault, causing the crowd to boo as Joe rolled out of the ring, allowing Bonifer to go for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…2.

Bonifer then started kneeing Valentino in the gut several times before sending him out of the corner with a Gutbuster. Valentino stayed on all fours, trying to catch his breath, but Bonifer grabbed Valentino and hit him with a Deadlift Gutwrench Suplex.
"That is some impressive strength by Bonifer! This isn't the first time that he threw Valentino like a rag doll, but it's always impressive to see!" Cornette exclaimed as Bonifer ran the ropes, and hit a Jumping Headbutt to the chest before going for another pin, hooking both of Valentino's legs back.
Ref: 1…2.
Bonifer pounded on the mat in frustration, which Enter and Manabo responded to by telling Bonifer to stay calm and focused. Bonifer nodded before grabbing Valentino's hands, and stomping on Valentino's face multiple times before turning him around on his stomach, and putting him in a Cattle Mutilation. The crowd booed as Bonifer stretched Valentino's arms as far back as he could, with Valentino refusing to give up while he tried to get his chest off of the ring canvas.
"Bonifer, with a little homage to Daniel Bryan there, locking Valentino in a Cattle Mutilation!" Beth exclaimed as Valentino began dragging himself to the ropes. The crowd cheered as Bonifer tried to pull him back to the center of the ring, but Valentino was able to roll to the ropes, getting one of his legs on the bottom rope. The crowd cheered as Bonifer was forced to break the hold, with Rachel yelling at Valentino to get up, with Frida responding to her by telling Rachel to shut the hell up.
"Rachel and Frida look like they're going to have their own fight on the outside, and Enter is laughing it up about that!" Beth exclaimed as Bonifer waited for Valentino to get up, and hit him with a Side Kick before going for the pinfall, hooking both of his legs.
Ref: 1…2.
Bonifer looked as though he was going to punch the referee for not giving him a three count, but he turned his focus back onto Valentino. The crowd booed as Bonifer picked Valentino up by the wrist, hitting him with multiple Knife-Edge Chops. The crowd continued booing as Bonifer attempted to walk the ropes, and hit Valentino with the Rose of Sharyn (Wristlock Springboard Cutter). However, the crowd exploded into cheers as Valentino was able to counter the move into a Spin-Out Powerbomb, pinning him.
Ref: 1…2..
"Valentino almost got the pinfall there! Finally, Valentino had a chance to tag Baam back into the match!" Cornette exclaimed as the crowd cheered while Valentino started dragging himself to the corner. However, Bonifer grabbed Valentino's legs, attempting to drag him away from his corner, but Valentino kicked Bonifer in the stomach multiple times before pushing him away. Bonifer rolled on all fours and attempted to jump on Valentino, but he was able to roll out of the way, and tagged Baam into the march, causing the crowd to cheer.
"And Baam is now in the match, and I can feel the pace of this match about to change!" Beth exclaimed as Baam springboarded into the ring, hitting Bonifer with a Springboard Crossbody. The crowd continued cheering as Baam ran over to Joe, knocking him off of the corner with a Big Boot. The crowd continued cheering as Baam noticed Bonifer getting back to his feet, and hitting multiple kicks to the chest and legs of Bonifer before sending him on all fours with an Enziguri. The crowd continued cheering as Baam ran the ropes, and hit Bonifer in the back with a Jumping Double Foot Stomp, sending Bonifer on his back.
"Baam taking down both of the challengers, sending Bonifer landing on his back!" Okabe exclaimed as Baam ran the ropes, and hit a Standing Corkscrew Senton onto Bonifer's chest before going for a pin.
Ref: 1…2.

However, before going for the pin, he noticed that Joe had gotten back onto the apron, and springboarded off of the 2nd rope, sending Joe down back onto the floor with a Triangle Hurricanrana. Enter and Manabo walked up to Baam, distracting Baam as he started arguing with the two.
"Baam needs to turn his attention away from Enter and Manabo if he wants to retain the BTWF World Tag Team Championships," Okabe advised as, in the ring, Bonifer had gotten back to his feet. The crowd booed as Bonifer ran the ropes, and hit Baam with a Suicide Dive, sending Baam crashing into the side of the announcers' table. The crowd continued to boo as Bonifer rammed Baam's sides into the announcers' table several times as Rachel yelled at Baam for getting distracted.
"Rachel giving Baam an earful as Bonifer's destroying him with the announcers' table!" Cornette exclaimed as Bonifer threw Baam back into the ring, and attempted to pin him, hooking both of his legs back.
Ref: 1…2..
The crowd exploded as Valentino, from the top rope, hit a Diving Elbow Drop onto Bonifer's back, breaking up the pin. Valentino then tried to drag Baam away from Bonifer, but Joe Wolf had climbed up to the top rope, and hit Valentino with a Missile Dropkick, causing Valentino to roll onto the apron.
"Joe sending Valentino onto the apron, saving Bonifer from more punishment at the hands of one-half of the BTWF World Tag Team Champions!" Beth exclaimed the crowd started booing loudly. Joe raised an eyebrow as Manny Rivera came running down to the ring, jumping onto the apron, arguing with the referee. While the referee was distracted, Manabo grabbed Valentino by the legs and attempted to Powerbomb him off of the apron. Valentino kept a tight grip on the top rope, but with the referee still distracted, Joe hit Valentino with a Running Dropkick to the face, allowing Manabo to send Valentino crashing onto the padded concrete.
"Manny is out here, trying to screw over the BTWF World Tag Team Champions!" Beth exclaimed as Joe, who noticed that Manny was still distracting the referee, noticed that Baam was starting to pick himself up. The crowd booed louder as Joe ran across the ring, and hit him in the side of the head with a Punt Kick.
"And Joe took advantage of Manny continuing to distract the referee by punting Baam right in the side of the head!" Cornette exclaimed as Joe rolled out of the ring, allowing Bonifer to pick himself up using the ropes. The crowd booed as Bonifer gave the crowd and Frida a slit-throat taunt while Manny dropped to the ground, allowing the referee to give his undivided attention back to the match. Bonifer picked a near unconscious Baam up and nailed him with the Stump Puller Piledriver before going for the pinfall.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, and the new BTWF World Tag Team Champions, representing Enter Enterprises, Joe Wolf, and Charlie Bonifer!" Mary Hughes announced as Enter ran over to the ringside attendant, and grabbed the BTWF World Tag Team Championship belts. Enter took some time to mock a shocked Rachel and Frida with Enter Enterprises' newly won championship belts before rolling in the ring to hand the belts over to Bonifer and Joe.
"What a shocker ladies and gentlemen! Thanks to interference from Manny Rivera, Enter Enterprises have captured the BTWF World Tag Team Championships!" Cornette exclaimed as the crowd continued booing as Manny went into the ring, and celebrated with Enter Enterprises. Bonifer, Joe, and Enter looked shocked, but shrugged their shoulders and celebrated with him as Manabo immediately grabbed Valentino by the hair, and threw him into the steel steps before rolling into the ring to join in on the celebration.
"Manabo, with another attack on Valentino, before joining in on the celebration! He had just as much to do with Enter Enterprises winning the championships as Manny did!" Beth exclaimed as Rachel looked furious while Frida ran over to Valentino's side, and went to check on him. Rachel yelled at Enter Enterprises and Manny while they continued to celebrate, with Bonifer and Joe hugging each other while holding the BTWF World Tag Team Championships.
"Well regardless of how they did it, Bonifer and Joe are the new BTWF World Tag Team Champions, and have every right to celebrate," Okabe countered as the camera panned to the backstage area, where Death the Kid was skateboarding around an empty space in the back of the arena.
"So, I heard that Shinji wants to give me a BTWF United States Championship match. Now, I'm ecstatic about that, but there is one thing that struck a nerve during his interview earlier tonight," Kid explained as he jumped off of his skateboard, and used the side of the wall to do a backflip back onto the skateboard.
"He gave me a few weeks so I can be prepared. That tells me that he's not taking me as seriously as he probably should. I want to prove him wrong, which is why next week, I want to challenge Enter Enterprise's heavy, Manabo," Kid explained before once again flipping off of his skateboard, stomping on the back of it hard enough to cause it to flip. Kid then caught it before looking at the camera with a serious look on his face.
"And once I beat Manabo, Shinji is going to realize that I'm nobody to be looked down upon, and I'll enter the Battle Riot with…my United States Championship," Kid explained before skateboarding out of the camera's range. The camera then panned to the ring, where the lights were tinted blood-red, the Sisterhood of Darkness were in the ring, surrounding Meduse Gorgon and the new BTWF World Women's Champion, Sherry Blendy. Sherry was sitting on a throne in the center of the ring, with Xochi on her left and Medusa to her right. Medusa, who held a microphone in her hand, walked up in front of Flare and Toga, glaring at the booing crowd.
"Sheep of the world, do you not realize what you're looking at!? You're looking at the greatest assembly of women in the history of not only the BTWF but in the Fanfiction Wrestling Multiverse!" Medusa exclaimed, causing the crowd to explode into boos and chant 'Sisterhood Sucks!' as several members of the group, such as Tina and Tomoko, began to growl at the booing fans.
"These women were all rejected and thrown aside by people who claimed to love them! You all threw them aside! But thanks to me, these women have found not only a purpose but success! And the biggest example of this is what you may call the Taskmaster of the Sisterhood of Darkness, Sherry Blendy!" Medusa continued to exclaim, causing the crowd to somehow boo louder and chant for Rei Ayanami, the former BTWF World Women's Champion who Sherry beat for the title at Christmas Chaos.
"Rei has been dethroned! Her blood poured on this canvas like a waterfall as Sherry stood over her like the Goddess that she is becoming!" Medusa exclaimed before handing the microphone to the BTWF World Women's Champion, Sherry Blendy. The crowd continued loudly booing and continued chanting Rei Ayanami's name as Sherry looked on at the crowd with a large smile on her face.
"Your pitiful reactions to my victory are quite humorous. At Christmas Chaos, not only did Ultear and Tomoko retain their BTWF Women's Tag Team Championships, not only did we gain a new member, not only did Xochi lead the other members of the Sisterhood to victory in the Lethal Lockdown match, but I was able to defeat Rei Ayanami and finally capture the Holy Grail!" Sherry exclaimed as she raised the BTWF World Women's Championship over her head, with the Sisterhood of Darkness applauding her.
"But this is only the beginning! Now that the Sisterhood have the Keys to the Kingdom, we must work to keep the Keys to the Kingdom in our hands," Sherry explained as Medusa nodded in agreement. The crowd continued booing as Sherry got off of her throne, with the BTWF World Women's Championship in one hand, and the microphone in another hand. Sherry walked over to Ultear and Tomoko.
"Ultear, Tomoko, the three of us must work to keep the championships within the Sisterhood. Do this by any means necessary," Sherry ordered, with Ultear and Tomoko nodded. Sherry then looked over at Frederica Sawyer, Flare Corona, Himiko Toga, Xochi Melendez, and Tina Belcher.
"The five of you must dominate the rest of the Women's division even if you're not champions. Nobody on this roster should be safe," Sherry ordered with Flare, Toga, Sawyer, and Tina nodding in understanding as Xochi looked at Sherry with a raised eyebrow, somewhat offended by the comment. However, before Xochi could voice her displeasure, the crowd started cheering as Akira Hayami came walking out of the back with a baseball bat in one hand, and a microphone in her other hand.
"I don't normally like to agree with the fans in attendance, but I have to say, I do want you to shut the hell up," Akira said, causing the crowd to cheer and chant 'Shut the Hell Up!' at Sherry, who glared at the crowd while Medusa walked up to the ropes with another microphone in her hand.
"Who in the hell invited you to the Sisterhood's celebration!?" Medusa yelled into the microphone.
"Listen you hag, the Spotlight of the BTWF Women's Division goes where she wants, when she wants. And right now, I'm putting an end to this stupid little party," Akira explained before she went to the ringside area, and stopped just in front of the ring.
"Wait…I just realized that I'm outnumbered. Hmmm…whatever will I do?" Akira overdramatically asked, with the crowd cheering louder as Rei Ayanami, Kagura Mikazuchi, Millianna, Ochako Uraraka, and Zia Simpson came walking up next to her. Akira then dropped her microphone, as the six women rushed the ring, beginning to brawl with the Sisterhood in the ring.
"Akira has smartly called for backup! This brawl can be seen as a sneak peek for what's going to happen at the Battle Riot!" Okabe exclaimed as Akira hit Sherry in the gut hard with her baseball bat. The crowd continued cheering as Millianna and Kagura were able to throw Ultear and Tomoko out of the ring. Everyone else brawled around the ring before Akira smashed Sherry's throne with her baseball bat.
"And Akira, symbolically destroying the throne of the BTWF World Women's Champion, signaling that her reign is going to be a short-lived one!" Cornette exclaimed as the crowd continued cheering as Akira grabbed the BTWF World Women's Championship belt, and raised it over her head along with her baseball bat. However, the crowd continued cheering as the Sisterhood went into the ring to try and get the belt back from Akira, but Zia, Ochako, Kagura, Millianna, and Rei followed them back into the ring where the brawl continued.
"This brawl is not stopping, and I'm being informed that we're going to a commercial break so that we can try and separate these women!" Okabe exclaimed as the camera panned to a commercial break as multiple security guards came down to try and separate the women brawling with each other.
*Commercial Break*
*Commercial Over*
The camera panned back to the middle of the ring, where Frederica 'the Cleaner' Sawyer and Ochako Uraraka as a referee tried to keep them both separated. The ringside area was clear of any other women while Ochako and Sawyer were exchanging words with each other.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are back on Octane, with security being able to take the Sisterhood, and the other women brawling out of the arena so we can have our scheduled Frederica Sawyer vs. Ochako Uraraka match," Beth explained as the referee made sure both were ready before she told the timekeeper to ring the bell. Once the referee rang the bell, Ochako and Sawyer locked up in the middle of the ring, the crowd booing as Sawyer was able to push Ochako into the corner. However, when the referee began counting, Sawyer hit Ochako with a couple of headbutts to the face before backing away from the corner.
"A couple of hard headbutts in the corner to Ochako, but shockingly, Ochako's nose still seems to be intact," Cornette noted as Sawyer attempted to hit Ochako with a punch, but Ochako was able to kick Sawyer's hand away, causing the crowd to cheer as she jumped onto the middle turnbuckle, and dived off, hitting Sawyer with a Diving Arm Drag. The crowd continued cheering as when Sawyer tried to get back to his feet, Ochako knocked her back down with a Dropkick to the chin before going for the pinfall.
Ref: 1..
"Ochako with a nice dropkick to the face, but Sawyer is back on her feet almost immediately!" Beth exclaimed as Ochako dodged a couple of attempted punches by Sawyer, and hit her with several kicks to the side of Sawyer's legs. The crowd booed as Sawyer kicked Ochako in the gut, and attempted to Irish whip her into the corner, but Ochako was able to jump up to the top turnbuckle. When Sawyer tried to catch Ochako from the top rope, Ochako did a backflip off of the top rope, landed behind Sawyer, and hit her with a Dropkick to the back of the head, sending Sawyer's face crashing into the top turnbuckle.
"Ochako using her speed to make sure she doesn't get caught in Sawyer's smothering power," Okabe explained as Ochako turned Sawyer around, and hit her with multiple forearms to the face until the referee pulled her out of the corner. Once the referee let go of Ochako, Ochako went back into the corner, stomping on Sawyer before running the ropes, and hitting Sawyer in the face with a Running European Uppercut. Ochako kept Sawyer in the corner with her elbow, hitting Sawyer in the side of the head with a back elbow a couple of times, and then knocked Sawyer on her knees with a Pele Kick to the top of the head.
"Ochako also doing a good job of not letting Sawyer get too much breathing room," Cornette continued as Ochako ran the ropes, and hit Sawyer in the chest with a Running Shooting Star Press before going for the pin, hooking both of her legs back.
Ref: 1…2
Sawyer kicked out and attempted to grab Ochako by the mouth, but Ochako stomped on Sawyer's gut a couple of times to try and get her to let go. When she did, Ochako picked Sawyer up and attempted to throw her into the ropes, but Sawyer grabbed both of Ochako's arms and hit her with several headbutts to the chest. The crowd began booing as Sawyer attempted to hit Ochako with an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex, but the crowd went back to cheering as Ochako landed on her feet.
"Some more impressive athleticism by Ochako, landing on her feet!" Beth exclaimed as Ochako took a couple of deep breaths to try and recover from the earlier headbutts. However, Sawyer responded by hitting Ochako with a clothesline that sent Ochako falling out of the ring. Sawyer landed on the apron and attempted to hit a Diving Double Ax Handle onto Ochako, but she counters with a punch to the gut. The crowd cheered as Ochako hit Sawyer with several Knife-Edge Chops.
"Ochako showing the newest member of the Sisterhood of Darkness that she isn't going to back down and be a stepping stone!" Beth exclaimed as Ochako attempted to slam Sawyer's head onto the top of the announcers' table. However, Sawyer punched Ochako a couple of times in the gut before slamming Ochako's face into the top of the announcers' table multiple times. Ochako attempted to hit a punch to fight back, but Sawyer dodged it and slammed Ochako's back into the announcers' table with a Back Suplex.
"Sawyer has finally gotten back into this match with that vicious Back Suplex onto the top of the announcers' table!" Cornette exclaimed as the referee began countering while Sawyer clubbed on Ochako's chest.
Ref: 1…2…3
Sawyer then pulled Ochako off of the announcers' table, sending her face-first into the padded concrete floor. The crowd continued booing as Sawyer smirked at the crowd, stomping on the back of Ochako's neck before picking her up, and throwing her into the side of the steel steps.
"Ow! Back first into the steel steps, this has to hinder some of the mobility that Ochako is so well known for!" Okabe exclaimed while wincing as Sawyer continued stomping on Ochako's chest while she was still sitting up against the steel steps. Sawyer then picked Ochako up, and much to the crowd's chagrin slammed her onto the steel ring apron with a Scoop Slam.
Ref: …4…5
Sawyer pushed Ochako back into the ring, followed her back into the ring before running the ropes and hitting Ochako with a Jumping Knee Drop to the face before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2
"A two count off of that Jumping Knee Drop, but Sawyer doesn't seem too concerned, as Ochako looks like she's in too much pain to immediately get off of the mat!" Cornette exclaimed as Sawyer hit a couple more Jumping Knee Drops to Ochako's face before picking her up, running the ropes, and hitting her with a Jumping Knee Strike to the face with enough force to send Ochako into the ropes. When she rebounded, Sawyer responded by sending Ochako back down with a Snap Powerslam.
"Very crisp Powerslam by Sawyer! You wouldn't be blamed if you thought that the members of the Sisterhood would be exclusively brawlers, given their sadistic and vicious nature," Okabe explained as the crowd continued booing as Sawyer grabbed both of Ochako's arms, put them behind her arms, and started kneeing her in the side of the head before going for another pinfall with Ochako's arms still restrained.
Ref: 1…2.
"Well now we're seeing the aggressive side of Sawyer with those knees," Beth noted as Sawyer got back to her feet, and started stomping on Ochako's face before grabbing her by the hair. The crowd chanted for Ochako as Sawyer glared at the crowd before kneeing her in the side of the head a couple of times. Sawyer then grabbed Ochako while she was on her knees, and deadlifted her up in a Vertical Suplex position.
"We're seeing some of the strength from the newest member of the Sisterhood that we saw at Christmas Chaos!" Cornette exclaimed as Sawyer walked around in the ring, sticking her tongue out at the booing fans before hitting Ochako with a Jackhammer. Sawyer continued to hold onto Ochako, picked her back up, and hit her with a Front Vertical Suplex onto the top rope, sending her hanging off of the top rope. Sawyer then ran the ropes, and hit a Running Knee Strike to the side of the head, sending her falling off of the ropes.
"Another vicious knee strike by Sawyer! Sawyer's knees appear to be the weapon of choice for the Cleaner!" Beth exclaimed as Sawyer dragged Ochako to the center of the ring by the hair before slamming her face into the ring canvas before locking her in the Camel Clutch. The crowd booed louder as Sawyer started fish-hooking Ochako's mouth, pulling her lips and mouth while trying to press against her teeth.
"Speaking of vicious, look at the damage Sawyer's trying to do to her mouth!" Cornette exclaimed while wincing as Ochako grabbed one of Sawyer's fingers, and bit down on them. The crowd cheered as Sawyer immediately pulled her right hand away from Ochako as she started hitting Sawyer in the side of the head with multiple back elbows. Ochako pulled herself back up and started kicking Sawyer in the chest, but Sawyer was able to grab Ochako's legs from one of those kicks and hit Ochako with a Sit-Out Spinebuster before going for another pinfall.
Ref: 1…2..
"Ochako once again barely able to kick out! Sawyer looks absolutely enraged that she didn't win there!" Beth exclaimed as Sawyer started pulling her hair in frustration. The crowd continued to boo as Sawyer picked Ochako up, and started hitting her with multiple Knife-Edge Chops to the chest. The crowd then booed as Sawyer kicked Ochako in the gut before backing away, attempted to hit Ochako with a Shotgun Dropkick. However, the crowd cheered as Ochako rolled out of the way at the last second, sending Sawyer crashing into the corner.
"Ochako able to send Sawyer crashing into the corner! Sawyer's in a crumpled heap in the corner, giving Ochako the chance to catch her breath," Okabe exclaimed as Ochako started breathing in and out as Sawyer was crumpled up upside-down in the corner. Ochako then noticed Sawyer, and ran into the corner, hitting an upside-down Sawyer with a Hesitation Dropkick to the face, sending Sawyer falling out of the corner. Ochako then used her strength to drag Sawyer to the center of the ring, and pinned her with both of her legs back.
Ref: 1…2.
"That was a nice Hesitation Dropkick by Ochako, but it was not enough to put Sawyer away!" Beth exclaimed as Ochako let out a primal roar, causing the crowd to cheer as Sawyer started getting back to her feet. The crowd cheered as Ochako hit a kick combo that featured several kicks to the legs, a Spin Kick to the gut, and then a Jumping Ax-Kick to the back of Sawyer's head. The crowd continued cheering as Ochako ran the ropes, and hit a Standing Corkscrew Shooting Star Press onto Sawyer with enough force to send her in a seated position.
"Ochako with some breath-taking offense of her own, quite literally!" Cornette exclaimed as Ochako ran the ropes, and hit a Running Knee Strike to the nose of Sawyer, sending her back down flat. The crowd continued to cheer as Ochako ran the ropes, and hit a Lionsault onto Sawyer's chest before going for another pin, hooking both of her legs.
Ref: 1…2..
Ochako picked Sawyer up after she kicked out, and hit her with several forearms before running the ropes, and hitting Sawyer with a Handspring Back Kick, dazing the newest member of the Sisterhood before Ochako ran the ropes, and hit a Handspring Back Elbow to take Sawyer back down to the ground. The crowd continued cheering as Ochako moved Sawyer closer to the corner, and started climbing up to the top rope, but Sawyer was able to get on her feet and kick the top rope, causing the crowd to boo as Ochako lost her footing on the top turnbuckle.
"Sawyer, showcasing some excellent ring awareness there, kicking the top rope so that she could prevent another aerial attack from Ochako!" Okabe exclaimed as Sawyer soon climbed up to the top rope along with Ochako, and attempted to put her in position for the Chainsaw Massacre (Mass Driver) from the top rope. However, the crowd began cheering again as Ochako started hitting Sawyer in the side of the head with Back Elbows, and smashed her face into the top turnbuckle a couple of times.
"Ochako fighting back, sending Sawyer's face into the turnbuckle several times to once again daze her!" Beth narrated as Ochako grabbed a hold of Sawyer, and hit her with a Sunset Flip Powerbomb from the top rope, causing the crowd to cheer loudly as Ochako jumped over to cover Sawyer with a Jackknife pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"And somehow, Sawyer was able to kick out of that! I don't know how Sawyer kicked out of something so devastating, but Ochako looks frustrated now!" Cornette exclaimed as Ochako grabbed Sawyer's arm, attempting to lock her in the Crossface. However, Sawyer hit several Knife-Edge Uppercuts to Ochako's chest, causing her to recoil. Sawyer then struggled to her feet, allowing Ochako to reply with a couple of kicks to Sawyer's chest before running the ropes, and attempting a Tilt-a-Whirl Crossface. However, Sawyer was able to grab Ochako and slam her throat first into the top rope.
"And Sawyer, able to counter the Tilt-a-Whirl, using all of Ochako's force and speed to her advantage by ramming Ochako's throat into the top rope!" Okabe exclaimed as Sawyer grabbed a coughing Ochako by the hair, and put her in a Back Suplex position. The crowd continued booing as Sawyer gave the crowd the cut-throat taunt, sliding her thumb over the massive scar on her throat. Sawyer then hit Ochako with the Chainsaw Massacre (Mass Driver) before turning her over on her back and going for the pin.

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, representing the Sisterhood of Darkness, Frederica 'the Cleaner' Sawyer!" Mary Hughes announced as the referee took hold of Sawyer's wrist, in an attempt to raise her hand up in victory, but Sawyer swiped her hand away and pushed the referee down as Medusa Gorgon and BTWF World Women's Champion Sherry Blendy came walking to the ring.
"Sawyer picks up another impressive victory in her short time on the BTWF roster, putting away Zia's friend and protégé, Ochako Uraraka!" Beth exclaimed as Sawyer grabbed Ochako by the hair, and pulled her back up to her feet. Sherry and Medusa then walked into the ring, smirking at the vulnerable form of Ochako. Sherry grabbed Ochako and put her in position for the Darkness Falls (Killswitch). However, the crowd gave a mixed reaction (60% cheers and 40% boos) as Akira came back out with her baseball bat.
"And to everyone's surprise, Ochako is being saved by the Spotlight of the BTWF Women's Division!" Cornette exclaimed as Sherry dropped Ochako, and attempted to run at Akira, but Akira hit Sherry in the chest with a swing of the baseball bat. Akira then attempted to hit Sherry with the Spotlighter (F-5), but Medusa and Sawyer were able to grab Sherry's foot and drag her out of the ring, causing the crowd to boo as Medusa grabbed the BTWF World Women's Championship from the ground.
"Akira is showing everyone in the BTWF fanbase one thing; she is not scared of Sherry or the rest of the Sisterhood!" Okabe exclaimed as the camera panned to the backstage area as Akira pulled Ochako back up to her feet by her wrist. The camera then panned to a brawl restarting between Zia and Clover, with one of the Octane GMs, Tanya von Degurechaff bringing in security to separate them.
"OK, you two! Enough of this! I'm not going to let you two turn the backstage area into a warzone!" Tanya yelled at the two as security were once again able to separate Zia and Clover. Despite this, Zia and Clover continued to try and get at each other, with Jerry and Charlotte pushing Clover away, allowing the rest of the security to pull Zia away.
"OK, since you two want to fight, you two are going to have a no-DQ match next week on Octane. You're both going to still be in the Battle Riot like you two said on Twitter, but you two may not make it there 100%!" Tanya exclaimed as security pulled both women away. The camera panned back to the stage, as Tanya rubbed her temples in annoyance. When the camera panned back on the stage, Damien Sandow's 2014 'Hallelujah' theme song played, causing the crowd to boo as Senku came out with Kaworu following him, limping on crutches.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, accompanied to the ring by Kaworu Nagisa, from Tokyo Japan, he is Senku Ishigami!" Mary Hughes announced as the crowd continued booing while Senku and Kaworu shook hands, and explained upcoming plans for the match. Senku then let go of Kaworu and walked to the ring, shooing away the booing fans, and the middle fingers that a few of the fans were giving out.
"Senku has been undefeated since he debuted for the BTWF at Bragging Rights, but this upcoming match may be his biggest task yet," Cornette explained as Senku told a couple of fans that they were too stupid to even dignify with an argument before Kaworu patted Senku on the back. Senku nodded at Kaworu before he ran up the steel steps of the ringside area, and jumped over the top rope before pointing up to the sky when he went down on one knee.
"Homer Simpson may be figuratively and literally the biggest challenge of Senku's young career, especially how furious Senku and Kaworu have made the big man!" Beth exclaimed as Senku got on his feet, and rubbed his hands together in preparation before 'Crank it Up' by Brand New Sin played, causing the crowd to cheer as Homer came out of the back, glaring a hole through Kaworu.
"And his opponent, from Springfield Illinois, he is Homer Simpson!" Mary Hughes announced as the crowd continued cheering while Homer hi-fived the fans in the front row. Kaworu told Homer that he was just going to be another name on Senku's list of defeats, but Homer rolled his eyes and told Kaworu that he better stay out of this match while he was continuing to hi-five the fans in the front row.
"Kaworu may want to be careful, as Homer has knocked both him and Senku out in the past with the Hangover Knockout Punch," Okabe explained as Homer walked up the steel steps, and over the top rope. Senku looked at Homer raising a hand up in the air, causing the crowd to cheer as Homer pointed to Senku, and turned his open palm into a fist. Senku rolled his eyes as Homer told the referee he was ready, and when the referee confirmed with Senku that he was ready, the referee told the timekeeper to ring the bell.
"And this match is underway, with Kaworu already trying to get up on the apron!" Beth exclaimed as Homer yelled at Kaworu to get back down on the floor. The crowd booed as Senku hit a Running Jumping Knee to the small of Homer's back, sending him falling into the corner, with his face hitting the top turnbuckle. The crowd booed as Senku started clubbing Homer in the back, but the crowd cheered as Homer hit Senku in the gut with a Back Kick, sending him falling back down.
"What a kick to the gut of Senku! I'm surprised we're not seeing the remnants of Senku's lunch after that one!" Cornette exclaimed as Homer picks Senku up by the hair, and started hitting him with multiple body punches before throwing him into the corner. Homer walks to the corner, but Senku was able to kick Homer in the leg and the gut a couple of times. Homer responds with a Back Elbow to the side of the head, before grabbing him by the face, and hitting him with a Frying Pan Chop to the chest.
"Ow! If there's any way to really take the breath out of a wrestler, a chop to the chest by Homer will do it!" Okabe exclaimed while wincing as Senku started falling onto his knees, but Homer grabbed Senku's head and hit a Frying Pan Chop to the back. The crowd continued cheering as Homer picked Senku up, and hit him with a body slam. Homer then picked Senku back up and threw him into the corner before Irish whipping him into the corner, hitting him with a Running Hip Attack to the gut.
"Homer practically squashing Senku in the corner, and you have to wonder if Senku is regretting poking the bear!" Beth exclaimed as Homer ran the ropes as Senku staggered out of the corner. However, when Homer attempted to run at Senku with a Clothesline, Senku hit Homer with a Dropkick to the knee, sending Homer falling into the ropes, draping his head over the middle rope. The crowd started booing as Senku stomped on Homer's back multiple times before the referee pulled him away. While the referee was arguing with Senku, Kaworu hit Homer in the side of the head with a Drive-By Kick to the best of his abilities, causing the crowd to boo louder as Kaworu limped away from Homer.
"Senku finally getting some momentum his way, with Kaworu assisting Senku from the outside!" Cornette exclaimed as Senku ran the ropes and hit a Leapfrog Body Guillotine to Homer's back. Homer stayed in the ropes, so Senku ran the ropes, and hit another Leaping Body Guillotine that sent Homer staggering out of the ropes. Senku then grabbed Homer while he was still on his knees, and hit him with a Snap DDT before going for another pin, pressing his wrist into the face.
Ref: 1…
"Senku brings Homer down with a DDT, but it's going to take a lot more than that to take Homer Simpson down!" Beth exclaimed as Senku grabbed Homer's right leg, and stomped on the side of the knee. The crowd continued booing as Senku ran the ropes, and hit a Jumping Double Foot Stomp to the side of Homer's right knee. Homer tried to push Senku away, but Senku hit a Running Basement Dropkick to the back of Homer's knee before hitting Homer's leg with a Stump Puller.
"Senku targeting the leg of a big man, which is the best strategy anyone has when going after Homer Simpson," Okabe explained as Senku started kicking Homer's leg multiple times. Homer once again pushed Senku away, causing the crowd to cheer, but those cheers quickly turned to boos as Senku jumped up to the middle rope, and stomped on the side of Homer's knee before going for a Jackknife pin.
Ref: 1…
"Homer still has enough upper body strength to send Senku flying from a simple kickout!" Cornette exclaimed as Senku started kicking Homer in the side of the head multiple times before going back to the leg, hitting a couple more Stump Pullers on Homer's right leg. Homer tried to crawl away, but Senku stomped on the back of Homer's right knee and then ran the ropes to hit a Sliding Forearm to Homer's head. The crowd continued booing as Kaworu applauded Senku's work in the match, as Senku attempted to lock Homer in the Figure-4-Leglock. However, the crowd cheered as Senku got punched in the gut several times.
"Homer still has some fight left in him, with multiple body shots on Senku enough to send him back into the corner!" Beth exclaimed as Homer pulled himself back up, slapping his leg a couple of times before attempting to hit a Corner Clothesline into the corner, but Senku once again kicked the right leg of Homer, sending his face crashing into the top turnbuckle. While Homer was dazed in the corner, Senku ran the ropes and hit several Running Knee Strikes to the face. Senku then attempted to hit a 4th Running Knee Strike, but Homer was able to counter this by hitting Senku with a mid-air Frying Pan Chop to the chest.
"And Senku is taken down with another massive chop to the chest!" Cornette exclaimed as Senku started coughing while trying to pull himself back to his feet using the ropes. However, when he tried to get Homer in the corner, he was knocked down with a Headbutt to the side of the head. Homer shook his leg to get the blood flowing back into it, and the crowd started cheering as Homer ran the ropes, and hit Senku with two Clotheslines, a Back Body Drop, and a Sidewalk Slam before going for a pin, hooking both of his legs back.
Ref: 1…2
"Homer getting back into this match, but that massive Sidewalk Slam only kept Senku down for a two count!" Okabe exclaimed as Homer noticed Kaworu attempting to come onto the ring apron. Homer responded to this by pushing Kaworu hard enough to send him into the fan barricade back first, allowing Senku to hit Homer with a Jumping Dropkick to the face. Homer was still on his feet, and Senku responded by running the ropes, but Homer was able to catch him in mid-air and hit him with a Fallaway Slam.
"Homer, despite one bad wheel, able to throw Senku across the ring with a Fallaway Slam!" Cornette exclaimed as Senku rolled onto the apron, causing the crowd to boo as Homer walked over to the apron, and grabbed Senku by the hair. However, Senku grabbed Homer's head, and hit him with a Hotshot over the top rope, causing the crowd to boo as Senku climbed up to the top turnbuckle, and hit Homer in the knee with a Missile Dropkick. The crowd continued booing as Senku climbed back up to the top rope, and hit another Missile Dropkick, this time to the back of Homer's head. Senku used all the strength that he had to turn Homer on his back, and then go for a pinfall, hooking Homer's right leg back.
Ref: 1…2.
"Senku still not able to defeat Homer, despite a Missile Dropkick to the back of the head!" Beth exclaimed as Senku looked at the referee in shock. However, the crowd began cheering as while Senku was arguing with the referee, Homer grabbed Senku by the throat, causing the crowd to cheer as Homer pulled himself up onto his feet, putting him in position for the Chokeslam. However, when Homer got closer to the ropes, Kaworu used the top of one of his crutches to hit Homer in the right knee just out of the referee's field of vision.
"And Kaworu, using his crutch right on the damaged leg of Homer!" Okabe exclaimed as Homer dropped Senku while tending to his knee. Senku ran at Homer, hitting him with a Running Knee Trembler to the side of the head. Homer was still on his knees, and Senku ran the ropes to hit a Petrification (Jumping Complete Shot) before going for another pin, hooking the damaged right leg.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Senku Ishigami!" Mary Hughes announced as the crowd booed while Senku rolled out of the ring and hugged Kaworu as Homer grit his teeth while holding his right leg in pain. The crowd booed as Senku started pointing to Kaworu's head, telling everyone that this is why you pair up with the genius of the BTWF. Kaworu nodded in agreement and said that the only person on his level of intelligence was Senku.
"Senku's undefeated streak continues, albeit with some controversy surrounding it!" Cornette exclaimed as Homer pounded on the mat in frustration as he tried to pull himself back onto his feet using the ropes. Senku told Homer that that was a lesson in not getting involved in other people's business as Kaworu raised his arm up, showing off the crutch that he used to hit Homer's leg with.
"Senku is going into the Battle Riot undefeated, which has to mean some good momentum for him," Okabe explained as Kaworu continued telling the crowd that Senku is the future of the BTWF as Homer finally got back to his feet, albeit with his right leg shaking, seemingly struggling to hold him up. Senku laughed at this as he and Kaworu gave each other another hug before the camera panned to the back. The camera panned to the backstage interview area, where Rei Ayanami was standing next to Hana Uzaki.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the former BTWF Women's Champion Rei Ayanami. Rei, we saw you help out Akira Hayami during her brawl with the Sisterhood of Darkness, despite your history. I, along with the rest of the BTWF fans, are curious as to why you helped the woman who nearly broke your leg only a few months ago?" Uzaki asked as Rei took a deep breath, seemingly trying to calm down.
"Firstly, I was not helping Akira tonight, I was merely returning the favor to Sherry for her and Medusa stealing the BTWF Women's Championship from me," Rei explained as Uzaki nodded, but kept the microphone underneath Rei's mouth, urging her to continue.
"Secondly, I wanted to challenge Sherry to a rematch for my championship. I understand Akira has her match at the Battle Riot, but-" Rei continued before Akira came walking in with the baseball bat still in her hand.
"You damn well better remember that I'm the one with the title match! I didn't need your help earlier tonight, but if you really want your belt back, you can get a match with me after I beat Sherry at the Battle Riot," Akira responded as Rei turned away from Hana, and glared at her as Hana backed away, not wanting to get in the middle of these two.
"Well if that's the case, then that will not be a problem considering you've never beaten me clean. But once again since you did not understand me, I am only going after the Sisterhood because I got my championship stolen from me," Rei said, not backing down from Akira or her steely glare.
"There's a first time for anything, Ayanami. And if you think I can't beat you, then-," Akira began before hearing a scuffle behind them. When the camera panned behind Rei, Akira, and Hana, the Legacy (Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney) and Dutch Van Der Linde came out of a locker room, celebrating the fact that they had beaten someone up in the locker room. Hana ran past them, and Dutch and Legacy only responded with a smirk as Hana ran out of the locker room.
"Get the trainers here! Natsu just got attacked!" Hana exclaimed as the camera panned to a commercial break as several trainers came running to the locker room.
*Commercial Break*
*Commercial Over*
The camera panned to the same interview area that the future stars of BTWF Evolve were in at the Christmas Chaos PPV. There was a single-person couch in the middle of a dark room, with only a lamp on a nightstand next to the chair. In the chair was a tall man with short hair, a 5 o'clock shadow, a black wife-beater, and jeans.
"My name is Free, and I'm coming to BTWF Evolve for one reason, and one reason only; money," Free explained as footage of independent shows demonstrated Free's massive power advantage by showing him throwing his opponents all the way across the ring, and slamming them down to the mat hard with a Falcon Arrow and a Powerbomb.
"Wrestling on TV in the big matches means more money in my pocket, and the best part about is I don't get paid by the hour, so I can show my true power by showing off how quick my Big Boot can destroy whatever helpless saps end up being my opponent," Free explained with a smirk on his face as the footage showed his opponents getting knocked unconscious by getting hit in the face or the back of the head with a Big Boot.
"So to everyone at BTWF Evolve; nothing I do to you is personal, I'm just like everyone else trying to get to that pay window," Free explained as the footage showed Free hitting a couple of wrestlers with a Sit-Out Torture Rack Powerbomb. The interview then ended with Free rubbing his thumb together with his pointer and middle fingers to indicate that it was time for him to get paid. The camera then panned to Soul in Arthur Morgan and Tanya Von Degurechaff's office, with a hand running through his hair.
"So, you're telling me Natsu got jumped by Sting and Rogue!?" Soul asked as he looked like he was freaking out.
"Yeah, just before the commercial break. The good news is that Natsu wasn't injured too badly in the attack, but the bad news is that he may not be able to compete tonight," Arthur explained as Tanya nodded while she was doing some paperwork.
"So, what am I supposed to do? The tag team match is coming up next!" Soul asked as he punched the desk that Tanya was working on, causing Tanya to look up at him and glare.
"Well, what we're going to do is let Natsu come into the match legally if he is able to come back to the ring. But for right now, you're going to have to do it on your own," Arthur explained. Before could say anything, Johnny Gargano's 'Rebel Heart' theme song played, causing Soul to shut his mouth, and walk out of the office and to Gorilla Position while Tanya mumbled about Soul messing up some of her paperwork. The camera then panned to the stage, where Soul came out of the back, continuing to have his hand running through his hair.
"The following contest is a…tag team match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Death City Nevada, Soul Eater Evans!" Mary Hughes announced as the crowd cheered loudly for Soul. Soul looked annoyed as he hi-fived the fans and told the camera that Sting and Rogue were going to pay for this as he continued walking to the ring.
"Soul going on it on his own for now, as Sting and Rogue attacked Natsu before the commercial break!" Beth exclaimed as Soul looked behind him, noticing that Natsu still wasn't coming out. Soul shook his head in annoyance before running to the ring, looking on at the crowd, hoping that Natsu would somehow surprise him by coming out through the crowd or something. However, that was not happening, and Soul responded by shaking his head, rolling out of the ring, and grabbing a chair from the bottom of the ring.
"Well, that's not surprising. With Sting and Rogue having an opportunity to join the BTWF Championship match at the Battle Riot, they want to take any advantage they can so that they have a higher chance of winning," Okabe responded as Soul waited outside of the ring as 'It's a New Day' by Adelitas Way played, causing the crowd to boo as Sting and Rogue came out with Dutch accompanying them, all with large smiles on their faces.
"And their opponents, accompanied to the ring by Dutch Van Der Linde, they are the team of Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney, Legacy!" Mary Hughes announced as Sting and Rogue talked some trash to Soul as the crowd continued booing them. When Sting and Rogue got to the ringside area, Soul ran at them, and hit Sting in the back several times with steel chair shots to the back, causing the crowd to cheer.
"Well, Soul isn't going to take what Sting and Rogue did to Natsu lying down!" Cornette exclaimed as Rogue ran up to Soul, but Soul hit Rogue with a couple of steel chair shots to the gut. Soul then threw Rogue into the ring but hit Sting with a couple more chair shots to the back before throwing the chair at Dutch's face. When Soul got into the ring, the referee rang the bell to start the match, causing the crowd to cheer as Rogue tried to pull himself back to his feet, Soul started stomping on Rogue.
"This match is underway, and Soul got his own advantage in this match thanks to beating both Sting and Rogue with a steel chair!" Beth exclaimed as Soul grabbed Rogue by the hair, and slammed his head into the top corner turnbuckle several times before turning him around, and punching him in the side of the head multiple times. The crowd continued cheering as Soul ran the ropes, and hit a Jumping Side Kick to the side of Rogue's head before throwing him out of the corner. Soul then jumped onto the middle turnbuckle and jumped off of the top rope with a Diving Back Elbow to the side of Rogue's head before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2
"Natsu may not be here to tag with Soul, but Soul is doing well against Rogue while Dutch and Sting are trying to regroup on the outside," Okabe explained as Soul picked Rogue up, and hit him with several forearms to the side of the face. However, the crowd booed as Rogue poked Soul in the eye, kicked him in the leg a couple of times, and then threw him into the corner. The crowd continued to boo as Rogue stomped on Soul's gut, telling the fans they were looking at the future BTWF Champion.
"Rogue able to get some momentum going thanks to that Greco Roman poke to the eye!" Cornette exclaimed as Rogue attempted to Irish whip Soul out of the corner, but Soul was able to counter the Irish whip into a Small Package pin, causing the crowd to cheer as he rolled Rogue up for a pin.
Ref: 1…2
Rogue kicked out and attempted to kick Soul in the head, but Soul was able to dodge, grab Rogue, and hit him with a Reverse DDT. The crowd continued cheering as Soul mounted Rogue, and started punching and forearming Rogue in the side of the head until the referee pulled him off. The crowd continued cheering as Soul picked Rogue up, and hit him with more punches to the face before hitting him with a Snap Vertical Suplex. Soul then ran the ropes and hit a Twisting Lionsault onto Rogue before going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Soul trying to finish this match as quickly as he can, but Rogue won't let this opportunity slip away that easily!" Beth exclaimed as Soul picked Rogue up, who once again countered, this time with a Jawbreaker. Soul grabbed his mouth in pain, allowing Rogue to get back to his feet and club Soul in the back. Rogue attempted to hit Soul with a Back Suplex, but Soul was able to land on his feet behind Rogue and attempted to hit him with a Back Suplex. However, by this point, Sting had gotten back onto the apron, and tagged Rogue mid-Suplex.
"Sting is back in the match, and the tag has been made!" Okabe exclaimed as Sting pulled Rogue off of Soul, and kicked Soul in the back of the knee. The crowd began booing as Sting began stomping on Soul, calling him nothing but a lucky loser. The crowd continued booing as Sting hit a couple of Jumping Knee Drops onto Soul's face, and as Rogue rolled onto the apron and began conversing with Dutch, Sting ran the ropes and hit a Running Knee Drop on the top of Soul's head before going for a pin, hooking both of his legs back.
Ref: 1…2
"A close two count there by Sting, and now he has to make sure to keep the pressure up!" Okabe exclaimed as Sting picked Soul up, hit him with multiple punches to the gut, and threw him into the corner. Sting stomped on Soul in the corner before tagging Rogue back into the match, and when Rogue got into the ring, Sting and Rogue wrung both of Soul's arms and punched him in the gut. Soul was sent down on his knees, and Rogue responded by running the ropes and hitting a Running Forearm to the back of the head.
"What a blow to the back of the head! I would be surprised if Soul could even get back to his feet!" Cornette exclaimed as Rogue picked Soul up, and hit him with a Sambo Suplex before hitting Soul in the top of the head with multiple Fist Drops to the face before going for another pin, hooking both of his legs.
Ref: 1…2.
Soul kicked out once again, and Rogue responded by picking Soul up, kneeing him in the gut several times, and hitting him with a Snap Vertical Suplex. Rogue hit him with multiple Elbow Drops to Soul's chest before stepping on Soul's face and tagged Sting back into the match. Sting grabbed Soul, put him in a Full Nelson, and picked him up, allowing Rogue to grab Soul's legs, hitting Soul with an Assisted Powerbomb/Full Nelson Combination before Sting went for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…2.
"Rogue was showing the fans earlier that he didn't want to let this opportunity go, and now Soul is doing the exact same thing, fighting Legacy 1 to 2 and surviving all this punishment!" Beth exclaimed as Sting looked at the referee in shock before he picked Soul up, and hit him with a couple of knees to the gut. Sting then grabbed both of Soul's legs and hit him with an Alabama Slam. Before Rogue left the ring to go back onto the apron, he hit Soul across the throat with a Leg Drop, causing the crowd to boo as Sting hit a Jumping Senton across Soul's chest.
"Rogue and Sting's experience as a tag team also gives them a clear advantage in this match, and you have to believe this advantage would still exist if Natsu were here," Okabe explained as Sting picked Soul back up, put him in a Vertical Suplex position, and hit him with a Front Facing Suplex that sent him crashing into the top rope. The crowd continued booing as before Soul could fall down from the top rope, Sting hit Soul with a Swinging Neckbreaker from the top rope before going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Soul with another kickout, and you have to imagine how frustrated Sting and Rogue are getting!" Cornette exclaimed as Sting started arguing with the referee. While the referee was distracted, Dutch hit Soul in the side of the head with a couple of hard punches. The crowd booed as Rogue attempted to hit Soul with a Jumping Leg Drop from the apron, but Soul was able to move out of the way, causing the crowd to cheer as Rogue fell out of the ring to put a hold on his leg. Sting noticed this and grabbed Soul, but the crowd cheered louder as Soul hit Sting with several punches to the face, and kicked Sting in the knee.
"Soul finally beginning to come back in this match, trying to overcome the 3-1 advantage that the Legacy has here!"

Rogue, meanwhile, locked Soul in s Rear Chinlock, causing the crowd to boo as he yelled at Soul to tap out.
"Natsu's coming out to the ring! Remember, Arthur Morgan said that Natsu can become a legal participant in the match if he comes back out!" Beth exclaimed as Sting noticed Natsu coming back, and knocked him back down with a Clothesline, causing the crowd to boo as he grabbed Natsu by the back of his singlet. Sting attempted to throw Natsu into the side of the steel steps, but Natsu was able to reverse this throw, sending Sting crashing into the side of the steel steps, causing the crowd to cheer louder.

The crowd continued cheering as Soul knocked Rogue down with a Jumping Enziguri before rolling into his corner, and tagging Natsu into the match, causing the crowd to explode into cheers as Natsu got into the ring.

"I think that the adrenaline has finally run out, as Natsu was taken down with that beautiful Spinebuster!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney, the Legacy!" Mary Hughes announced, causing the crowd to boo loudly as Sting put his foot over Natsu's prone body as he yelled at the referee to give him the BTWF Championship. The crowd continued booing as the referee did just that, handing Sting the BTWF Championship while he posed on top of a downed Natsu.
"Dutch's plan has worked like a charm, as now Rogue and Sting have an opportunity for the BTWF Championship at the Battle Riot!" Cornette exclaimed as Rogue and Dutch went back into the ring, and celebrated with Sting in the ring. Sting gave the BTWF Championship to Rogue as Sting allowed his friend to hold the BTWF Championship that they both now had a chance of winning at the upcoming PPV. Dutch hugged his charges and told them that this was only part 1 of his plan to get them the BTWF Championship.
"Sting and Rogue look elated that they're going to have this opportunity on PPV for one of the biggest prizes in the BTWF!" Beth exclaimed as on the outside, Soul got back to his feet, his hand covering the part of his head that cracked the side of the steel steps, and punched the side of the steel steps in frustration. Natsu, meanwhile, rolled out of the ring, holding his chest in pain as he continued coughing up blood. A couple of ringside trainers came to check on Natsu as he fell down on his knees, holding his midsection and chest in pain.
"Soul and Natsu have to be completely frustrated that they're one on one match is being turned into a Fatal-4-Way, but this doesn't mean that they're going to just lie down and let Dutch get away with this!" Cornette exclaimed as Dutch laughed at Soul and Natsu's defeated looks and states before continuing to celebrate with Rogue and Sting, telling the fans that they were getting a spoiler for the BTWF Battle Riot. The camera then panned to the backas Sting and Rogue put the championship down, and started leaving the ring. The camera panned to Yukino Aguria talking to Tanya von Degurechaff, who looked as though she wanted to grab the nearest blunt object and hit Yukino with it.
"...and that's why I think I deserve another chance to get onto the Octane roster, and I think you-" Yukino was saying before Tanya slapped Yukino on the shoulder.
"Look, I'm extremely busy right now, but if I give you a chance next week, will you leave me alone?"
"Yep."
"Fine. Next week, you're going to have a match. I'm not going to tell you your opponent, but the match will happen next week. Now please, get out of my face," Tanya responded as she walked faster ahead of Yukino. Yukino pumped up her fist in celebration as the camera faded to black, ending the show.
