...
And now, Anime Wrestling Federation Presents, Anime Rumble!
(Dark Horses by Switchfoot Plays as the intro to AWF Anime Rumble PPV. Fireworks goes off the stage and Titantron before the camera circles around the arena, holding signs such as 'Palmtop Tiger Best Girl', 'Screw Bootleg Okada! Marry Me Chikaru!', 'Tsuna and Shinji vs r/SquaredCircle and r/Anime: Tag Team Match Playa!', 'Dandy Guy is Cominth!' and others)
"This is it ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the Anime Rumble PPV, where the Road to Anime Mania shall begin!" Taisuke welcomed.
"We're live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and tonight, not only 5 titles are on the line, but out of 30 men, only one shall stand tall in the main event and crowned as the Headliner for Anime Mania!" Klein continued.

"After returning and giving Daisuke a challenge, the Celestrial Being has set their sights on the Tag Titles after beating Team HeroKazu's Open Challenge." Taisuke explained.
"The Philly Crowd are showing their love for Gundam 00 as they are cheering for the Celestrial Being, regardless of what they did weeks ago." Klein pointed.
(Devious by Dale Oliver Plays)
"And their opponent, both from Shinjuku, Japan, they are your current AWF Tag Team Champions, the team of Hirokazu Shiota and Kenta Kitagawa, Team HeroKazu!" Yui announced as the crowd cheers.
"Proof that the folks of Philly likes to party folks, Team HeroKazu are getting cheered like they are hosting a concert!" Wataru pointed.
"Maybe they managed to retain the titles against the best of the best teams in AWF, they cannot underestimate the Celestrial Being. After all, who beat them fair and square weeks ago?" Klein reminded.
(Bell Rings)
Setsuna and Kenta starts first while the crowd chanted 'I Am Gundam!' to Setsuna. The two circled around the ring before Kenta goes for a Double Leg Takedown only to have Setsuna moving out of the way. After nailing Kenta with a Double Axe Handle followed by several blows from behind, Setsuna picks him up from behind and puts him on a Side Headlock until Kenta frees himself after drilling Setsuna with several elbows to the gut. He then bounces off the ropes and went towards Setsuna only to get caught and planted by a Sidewalk Slam instead before Setsuna goes for the pin.
The referee counts, "1,..." Kenta kicks out.
After drilling Kenta with several forearms to the face, Setsuna picks him up and Uppercuts him onto the corner before drilling him with several Boxing Jabs and Irish Whips him crashing onto the other corner. He then charges towards Kenta and goes for a running splash, but Kenta manages to kick him away to the face before sending Setsuna crashing onto the corner with a Russian Leg Sweep! After blasting him with several Knife Edge Chops to the chest until he's sitting on the corner, Kenta drilled Setsuna with a Baseball Slide before going for the pin.
The referee counts, "1,2,..." Setsuna kicks out.

Once everyone gets up, Team HeroKazu knocks Setsuna to the ropes with a double Savate Kick before Kenta Clotheslines him out of the ring! Once Setsuna gets himself up, Hirokazu knocks him back down with a Suicide Dive!
"Now that's what I call a combo! That manages to ambush Setsuna all the way to hell!" Wataru reacted.

After tagging himself to Lockon (with the crowd cheering for the Sniper of the CB), Setsuna picks Hirokazu up and drilled him with several knees to the gut before throwing him towards Lockon. After catching Hirokazu, Lockon proceeded to blast Hirokazu with several rope hung forearms clubs (with the crowd counting them down no less) before Setsuna knocks him out of the ring with a running high knee from behind! Lockon then leaves the ring, lifts Hirokazu up and plants him onto the floor with a Rolling Fireman's Carry Slam before throwing him into the ring, enters the ring and goes for the pin.
The referee counts, "1,2,..." Hirokazu kicks out.
Lockon then lifts Hirokazu up and goes for a Crucifix Powerbomb, but Hirokazu manages to escape just in time before quickly going to the ropes. Once Hirokazu gets up using the ropes, he elbow tackles Lockon away to the face before planting him down with a Neckbreaker Slam! He then goes for a Standing Moonsault, but Lockon lifts his knees up, sending Hirokazu crashing onto them instead. Lockon then gets up, grabs Hirokazu's legs, stomps him to the gut several times and puts him on a Cloverleaf!
"Hirokazu made a huge mistake for cockily going for a Standing Moonsault, and there he is, getting a submission applied in the middle of the ring!" Taisuke pointed while the crowd exchanged chants between "Please Tap Out!" and "Don't Tap Out!". Despite the submission being applied, Hirokazu manages to crawl towards the ropes before grabbing it, freeing him from the hold!
"Maybe's he's cocky, but there's no way he's tapping out like a bitch." Wataru reminded.
After Lockon Foot Chokes Hirokazu on the ropes until the ref pulls him away, Setsuna bashes him with a bionic elbow to the face while the ref were distracted! Lockon then goes for the pin. (1,2,... Hirokazu kicks out) He then lifts Hirokazu up and sets for the White Noise/Air Raid Crash, but Hirokazu manages to slip away before turning Lockon around and Uppercuts him away. He then bounces off the ropes and plants Lockon down with a Tilt-a-Whirl DDT!
"Hirokazu countered, and now both men are down!" Hayato reacted.
"Now the crowd are waiting for the tag to be made, while Hirokazu and Lockon slowly crawled to their partners!" Taisuke pointed and after a while, they all made the tag!
After entering the ring, Setsuna goes for a Clothesline only to have Kenta dodging it before Kenta bounces off the ropes and knocks Setsuna away with a Tilt-a-Whirl Arm Drag! With Setsuna on the ropes, Kenta goes to Clothesline him out only to get Back Body Dropped over the top rope instead and once Kenta's on the ring apron, he knocks Setsuna away with a Jawbreaker onto the ropes!

The referee counts, "1,2,..." Kenta kicks out.
Setsuna went to the corner and sets for the Exia Blade (Bull Hammer) and once Kenta gets up, Setsuna goes for it only to have Kenta dodging it before planting him down with a Swinging Neckbreaker, sending him rolling out of the ring. With both Setsuna and Lockon out of the ring, Kenta bounces off the ropes and goes for a Suicide Dive...
... only to eat a Double Uppercut in mid air instead!
"Talk about backfire! Celestrial Being just knocked Kenta into Dream World with that counter!" Klein reacted. Once the CB turned around...
... Hirokazu knocks them down with a Running Slingshot Corkscrew Plancha!
"One counter after another! They completely forgot about Hirokazu!" Hayato reacted.
"Now everyone's down while the crowd is loving every second it!" Wataru pointed as the crowd chanted 'This Is Awesome!'
After throwing Setsuna into the ring, Hirokazu throws Kenta into the ring as well, allowing Kenta to go for the pin. (1,2,... Setsuna kicks out) On the corner Hirokazu begged for Kenta to make a tag and before Kenta could even reach for the tag, Lockon pulled Hirokazu down onto the floor instead! Once Kenta gets up on the corner, Setsuna knocks him with a running elbow to the face before lifting him up and plants him with the Wasteland! Instead of going for the pin, Setsuna tags himself to Lockon instead!
"The Celestrial Being aren't looking for a kill, they're looking for an overkill! Lockon's going to kill Kenta with a headshot!" Taisuke pointed as while the crowd chanted 'They Are Gonna Kill You!' several times, Setsuna picks Kenta up from behind...
... and allows Lockon to finish him with the Brouge Kick!
"Brouge Kick! Mission accomplished for the Gundam Meisters!" Klein reacted as Lockon goes for the pin.
The referee counts, "1,2,3!"
"Here's your winner, and NEW AWF Tag Team Champions, the Celestrial Being!" Yui announced as the crowd cheers.
"What a great return for these two Meisters! Despite losing to Daisuke last month, they managed to surprise us all by beating Team HeroKazu not once, but twice! Congratulations to the Celestrial Being!" Klein praised.
"And what better place to win the title than in a city filled with die hard Gundam 00 fans here in Philadelphia! Now anyone who wants the belt will be on the Celestrial Being's hit list and shall meet the same fate as Team HeroKazu!" Taisuke continued.
(Backstage)
We can see Misaka Mikoto warming up for the title match until Nanoha Takamachi appeared in the scene.
"What do you want Nanoha? The match is about to begin in a minute or two." Misaka asked.
"I need to ask you about this before our match. Why would you screw me out of the title 3 weeks ago? I could have dethroned Ruki and we won't have a 4 Way Match in the first place. Instead we'll have an one on one match while Hikari goes after Ruki." Nanoha questioned.
"You haven't noticed it yet Nanoha? How stupid can you get?" Misaka responded. "The answer is pretty obvious. If there's anyone in the roster who deserves to dethrone Ruki, it should be me, the actual No 1 Contender for her title. Not you or Hikari, but me. Because let's face it, dethroning Ruki and end the RR's unholy reign would be a huge achievement to anyone in this roster." she continued.
"Short answer, you're a self centered egomaniac who thinks that you can dethrone her." Nanoha reacted. "Good to know that, but let me remind you this. After what you did to me, there's no way I'm letting you to dethrone Ruki, period." she warned.
"Tough talk. Let's see whether you could back it up or not. Good luck at stopping me from winning the title AND dethroning Ruki at the same time Nanoha. Because there's no way that you'll be able to do 2 things at once, even if you formed an Alliance with Hikari. See you in the ring and be prepare to witness the coronation of the Railgun as your new champion..." Misaka replied before leaving Nanoha.
(Locker Room)
We can see Takeru Takaishi being worried for the Rumble Match until...
"Ta-ke-ru!"
... his girlfriend Hikari Yagami hopped on his back.
"Woah! You could me off guard there Hikari." Takeru reacted.
"Are you angry with what I just did?" Hikari asked.
"Not at slightest, although can you please get off my back?" Takeru ordered.
"Aw come on! Can't I ride on your back for once?" Hikari questioned.
"We'll do it after the show, because right now I'm worried about entering the Rumble at No 8." Takeru answered.
"You're not fun at times you know?" Hikari said before letting Takeru go. "And why are you worried about being No 8 in the Rumble? Need I remind you that you won the Rumble 2 years ago? You can do it again tonight." she reminded.
"... you do realize that this year's Rumble is tougher than 2 years ago?" Takeru responded. "Today's roster is much more challenging that the old days, especially with them being hungry for success and to headline Anime Mania." he explained before Hikari holds on his hand.
"You're the Child of Hope remember? I'm sure there's a huge hope for you to win the Rumble and recreate history. And if the match turns dark, I'll be there to help you out as the Child of Light." Hikari reminded.
"I appreciate your concern Hikari. Thanks." Takeru replied. "Although you should be concerned about yourself first. Because if you got destroyed in your match, you won't be my light in that match." he reminded.
"Don't worry Takeru. I'll be fine In fact, I'm going to accompany you with a title belt on my shoulder. And after that, once you won the Rumble..."
"... we'll be able to be a Power Couple after Anime Mania, am I right?" Takeru guessed as Hikari nodded. "Well, imagining won't be enough, because tonight, we have to win our matches to achieve that goal. Can you do that because for you, I'm sure I can, even if I have to be in the ring with Daisuke and Ash." he questioned.
"Of course I can Takeru. Tonight, the title will be at the hands of the Child of Light while the Child of Hope shall headline Anime Mania." Hikari replied.
"And after the Child of Hope wins the AWF Title, both of them shall live happily ever after. Right?" Takeru continued as Hikari nods. "Well, now it's time to go and win that belt. Good luck." he said.
"Thanks Takeru. And after I win the title, promise me that you're carry me on your back?" Hikari asked.
"How about I'll carry you Bridal Style instead?" Takeru offered.
"Whatever floats your boat Takeru. See ya!" Hikari replied before leaving Takeru.

(Level 5 Judgelight by fripSide Plays)
"Next, from Academy City, Japan, Misaka Mikoto!" Yui announced as the crowd cheers.
"As we already heard earlier, Misaka screwed Nanoha out of the title 3 weeks ago simply just to avoid her from being the one to dethrone Ruki off the title." Taisuke explained.
"Despite Misaka being all for herself, the crowd are still cheering for the Railgun. Maybe the fans loved her attitude?" Klein guessed.
(LoveFuryPassionEnergy by Boy Hits Car Plays)
"And lastly, from Odaiba, Japan, Hikari Yagami!" Yui announced as the crowd cheers.
"Hikari came from a long way with lots of twists and turns. She battled Ruki, got eliminated by Nanoha two months ago, and got Misaka seeking revenge for eliminating her during the Battle Royal." Wataru recapped.
"Remember it's every girl for herself. Anyone can win this, even without pinning or submitting Ruki." Hayato reminded.

(Backstage)
We can see the members of the Chimeras talking to each other.
"Guys, I'm proud to have you as my teammates. We went from losing 2 matches in a row to winning 2 matches in a row to make things even." Masaru said. "Wait, did I say even? I meant to make things in our favor." he corrected. "Yusuke, Kuwabara, are our back ups ready to help us just in case?" he asked.
"Our girlfriends? Yeah they're ready. Although if they're hurt at the hands of Iori and his friends, you got a hell to be paid." Yusuke warned.
"I know what you're trying to say Yusuke. If Keiko and/or Yukina got hurt tonight, you guys got all the rights to whack me with an Indian Strap as much as you want, even if I'm your leader. Am I right?" Masaru guessed.
"Damn right you're right." Kuwabara replied while Yusuke nodded.
"What about us leader? Should we help you out in that match?" Seiji asked.
"No need for that. You and Oga are in the Rumble Match right? In that case, stay away from our match and get yourself prepared for the Rumble. I don't want any of you to get bashed by weapons before the Rumble." Masaru answered.
"And what if Renton and Takato helped Iori and his friends out?" Oga questioned.
"Considering the fact that they're in the Rumble, I doubt it. They need to keep themselves unhurt before the Rumble you know?" Masaru answered.
"Yeah, keep themselves unhurt... until both of us entered the match of course." Oga said.
"I got a question though. What will happen if we kept the title AND won the Rumble?" Seiji asked.
"One word: Party." Yusuke answered.
"What Yusuke said. If we win both of them tonight, we'll party until the sun rises!" Masaru said
"Although we might need to book a party before the Shounen Knights of the Rookie Revolution if any of them get the World Title first." Oga said.
"Even if any of them got the World Title, it means nothing if they lost to us in the Rumble. After all, only the winner of the Rumble is worthy to have a party after this PPV." Masaru replied.
"So... what you meant is that if Seiji or Oga won the Rumble, he'll be the only one deserved to have a party after this PPV?" Kuwabara questioned.
"Once an idiot will always be an idiot... even if we won the Rumble, we won't forget you guys because you guys will be our VIPs in that party!" Oga answered.
"Alright guys, talk's over. Time to start our mission and win them all. Yusuke, Kuwabara, come on, let's start the war!" Masaru called as the Spirit Detectives followed Masaru.
"Good luck guys!" Seiji cheered while the trio leaves the room.
"One of us headlining Anime Mania... are you going to throw me out from behind?" Oga asked.
"It's every man for himself. Of course I'll do that." Seiji answered.
"I'll knew you'll answer like that. Well..." before Oga could even continue, he and Seiji turned around..
... and saw Junpei Shibayama entering the room.
"Confident aren't we? Well, let me give you two a reality check: It's going to take more than both of you to eliminate me. Sure, everyone can gang up on me, but I'll throw both of you out before that happens at least. And by the way, even if your leader kept that title of his, it won't mean anything if I won the Rumble tonight. Because if I do win it, you guys will curtain jerk Anime Mania while I'll be headlining it." Junpei reminded.
"Curtain jerk? You really think that we'll curtain jerk Anime Mania? Dream on fatass. Even if both of us didn't win the Rumble, we'll find another way to Headline Anime Mania. Who knows? We could even destroy the Shounen Knights or the Rookie Revolution in order to do so." Seiji replied.
"And by the way, if I were you, I won't run around warning people left and right because you might end up curtain jerking Anime Mania instead if you lost the Rumble and the title match at the upcoming PPV." Oga reminded.
"Me? Losing and ended up curtain jerking Anime Mania? Yeah right. I'll tear anyone who tried to stop me, and that includes both of you. Now get out of here before I screw you out of the Rumble." Junpei ordered.
"Whatever you say fatty. See you in the ring." Seiji replied before he and Oga left Junpei.

Rise introduced as the crowd cheers. "Tonight, you'll be facing Revy one more time after she defeated you once 3 weeks ago. Your thoughts?" she asked.
"You want my thoughts? Well here's your answer. 3 weeks ago, Revy accepted my open challenge and a week after that, she successfully kicked my ass in more ways than one. But that was weeks ago. Revy, you may be the one I considered to be my equal for beating me, but tonight, you're facing a wounded Palmtop Tiger, and this tiger is looking to rip the living hell out of you. Your victory weeks ago was nothing more than dumb luck because tonight, you will not be lucky as I will tear you apart and do anything to keep my title. So Revy, give me everything you got tonight and show me whether you're able to get rid of this title from me or not." Taiga replied before leaving Rise. Rise then saw Ash Ketchum walking around before going to him.
"Excuse me Ash but do you have some time? I want to ask you regarding the Rumble Match since you're on No 21." Rise asked.
"Since I'm completely fresh for not wrestling in 10 days straight, let me cut to the chase and say that out of all people in that Rumble Match, I will be the one to win it. Because that match is the only chance for me to be a force to be reckoned with once again. Ever since I lost the AWF World Title to Tsuna, I've become a total afterthought, overshadowed by Daisuke and his new friends, Takeru, Tsuna and his Knights, Taiki and his Revolutionists, Masaru and his fellow thugs, Iori and his new buddies and Junpei with his fat ass running around. But not anymore because tonight, once I win the Rumble, the Spotlight will be on me once again while everyone that I mentioned will take my place as afterthoughts. Now get out of my face." Ash responded before leaving Rise.

(Locker Room)
We can see the AWF World Champion Sawada Tsunayoshi warming up with his teammates accompanying him.
"Ready for your title match dude?" Toriko asked.
"Of course I'm ready! I'm always ready!" Tsuna answered while hiding his nervousness.
"Why are Tsuna's legs shaking?" Gon questioned before pointing to Tsuna's legs.
"What? I'm just... warming up my legs by shaking them!" Tsuna responded.
"Are you sick? Or do you have to go to the bathroom?" Negi questioned.
"How about a third option?" Toriko suggested.
"And what would that be?" Negi questioned.
"He's scared for tonight's match." Toriko answered.
"(sigh) Okay I confess. Even though it's easier to beat Shinji than Taiki, I'm still scared to be in the ring since we're in Philadelphia, and we are know what are their opinion on me and where I'm from." Tsuna confessed.
"No need to worry Tsuna. All you have to bear in the ring are boos. It's not like they're going to kill you or anything." Negi explained. "Plus, if Naruto can survive wrestling in Chicago, I'm sure you'll survive wrestling in Philadelphia." he continued.
"Good point Negi... if I ignore the crowd boos and wrestle just like what Naruto did in ACW, I'm sure I'll survive and retain the belt." Tsuna replied.
"And you're not the only one who are scared by the Philly Crowd dude. I'm sure inside the Rookie Revolution Locker Room, Shinji's pissing himself at the thoght of wrestling in a city where emos gets crucified while badasses like your truly being worshiped." Toriko said.
"... are you trying to help me or scare me Toriko?" Tsuna questioned.
"Sorry. Forgot that you're an emo like Shinji." Toriko answered.
"Maybe both of us are cowards, but emo? Please don't ever call me that dude..." Tsuna replied.
"My bad. But still, listen to the sensei's advice and keep the title away from the RR okay?" Toriko reminded.
"Yeah, I'll try... even if the crowd threw eggshells at me. Wish me luck everyone because I'm going in! See ya!" Tsuna responded.
"Good luck Tsuna!" Gon cheered as Tsuna leaves the room. As Tsuna heads to the ring, he encountered... Simon the Digger.
"Well what do you know, the Entrant No 1 for the Rumble! How are you doing today?" Tsuna asked.
"Doing fine and fully healed. And I also learned to not return to the ring earlier that what the doctors advised. If I were unlucky, I could have retired right off the bat after my match with Ash weeks ago." Simon answered.
"Even the man who pierces through the Heavens learnt something new everyday." Tsuna responded. "By the way Simon, since you're No 1 in the Rumble, I'm rooting for you to win the Rumble Match." he said.
"Mind explaining why are you rooting for me, aside from seeing a Deja Vu from last year?" Simon questioned.
"Well, since you never got a proper one on one rematch for the World Title thanks to the Rookie Revolution, I would like to face you one on one for the belt." Tsuna answered.
"Hmm... you're right Tsuna. I never received a proper rematch for the belt thanks to the RR and winning the Rumble would obviously grant me with one. And I want to face you too Tsuna, only to give you an Anime Mania Main Event that you'll never forget in your life." Simon said.
"Yeah... you and me, one on one for the title... it will blew off the roof at Anime Mania. And I'll promise you Simon that once you win the Rumble while I retain my belt tonight and next month, I will show you why I'm hailed as the future of AWF instead of you." Tsuna replied.
"Make sure you'll live up to your promise Tsuna, because I'm going in there and repeat history by winning the Rumble from No 1. And by the way, good luck on tonight's match. And I hope you did something that I failed to do, and that is ending the RR's chase for domination." Simon hoped.
"Thanks, and I don't want to brag, but I did something that you failed to do, and that is beating Taiki fair and square." Tsuna bragged.
"You are bragging Tsuna, just admit it." Simon replied. "Good luck in there." he said before leaving Tsuna.
"Good luck on the Rumble Simon! Remember, Pierce the Heavens with your Drills and Headline Anime Mania!" Tsuna cheered before heading to the ring.

"Third Impact! Instrumentality out of nowhere! The belt now belongs to the Revolution!" Klein reacted while Shinji goes for the pin.
The referee counts, "1,2,..." Tsuna kicks out!
"The heart of a champion manages to deny Shinji from an upset victory! Tsuna's still alive and kicking!" Hayato reacted.
"Shinji's completely in disbelief! He's just one count away from making Taiki's wishes come true!" Taisuke pointed as Shinji pounded his fists on the mat in frustuation.
He then picks Tsuna up and eats a forearm to the face which Shinji would later strike Tsuna with the same move. The two traded blows with the smark crowd finally cheering for Tsuna while booing for Shinji with every blows until Shinji knocks Tsuna away with an Uppercut. Tsuna would respond by nailing Shinji with a Roundhouse Kick before planting him down with a Belly-to-Back Suplex! He then climbs to the top turnbuckle and nailed him with a Diving Elbow Drop before going for the pin.
The referee counts, "1,2,..." Shinji kicks out!
"And now it's time to put an end to this war! Tsuna is now ready for his finisher!" Hayato pointed as Tsuna lifts Shinji up and sets for the Dying Will Zero (GTS)...
... only to have Shinji slipping away from the finisher before turning Tsuna around and goes for the Third Impact...
... but Tsuna manages to push Shinji away before knocking him down with a Lariat!
"Oh come on! I knew they'll resort to this!" Wataru reacted as Zenjirou enters the ring and goes to attack Tsuna only to get lifted up and planted with the Dying Will Zero!
"Well, so much for the assist there!" Hayato reacted. As Tsuna turns himself around...
... Shinji plants him down with the Third Impact!
"Another Third Impact from out of nowhere! Second time will always do the trick!" Klein reacted.
The referee counts, "1,2,..." Tsuna kicks out!
"So close! Shinji's one count away from accomplishing the RR's goals!" Klein reacted.
"Shinji's better be careful there, or else he'll get DQ'ed!" Hayato warned as Shinji argued with the referee.
"Talk about finding a last resort! Tsuna might lose his functions and his title with that one!" Taisuke reacted.
"Now he's trying to wake the referee up, after kicking him to the balls!" Klein pointed.
As the ref slowly recover himself, Shinji went towards Tsuna...
... and gets a Low Blow of his own!
"What the? The ref should have seen that!" Klein complained.
"The referee's vision aren't recovered yet! That's how Tsuna got away with that!" Hayato explained while Tsuna goes for the pin.
"The referee counts, "1,2,3!"
"And the RR's mission has failed!" Wataru cheered.
"Here's your winner and STILL your AWF World Champion, Sawada Tsunayoshi!" Yui announced as the crowd cheers.
"Like Naruto in Chicago, Tsuna in Philadelphia not only retained his world title, but also won the hearts of the unpredictable Philly Crowd!" Wataru continued.
"And with that victory, we can safely say that the Rookie Revolution will never go after Tsuna and his friends ever again! The war is over with the Knights winning in the end!" Hayato said.
"All Tsuna needs to do right now is to go back to his locker room and watch the Rumble Match to determine who shall face him at Anime Mania. And speaking of the Rumble Match, that match will be next after our Intermission. Stay tuned!" Wataru continued.
(Intermission)

A/N: Damn it... I was supposed to finish this chapter on Sunday. But due to be sleeping like a Polar Bear during weekends, it got delayed until Monday. But whatever, at least I got a sweet dream out of that ordeal. :p
Sorry if the Extreme title match looked clunky guys. This is the only thing I could came up for that match since I'm not inspired enough to do Extreme Matches these days. :p Maybe I'll stick to Puroresu style instead (since Taiga vs Revy seemed more brutal than the Extreme title match). And sorry if there's no Video Package for the World Title Match since the second half of the RR vs Knights feud were too lackluster to warrant a Video Package. But don't worry, I might make a Video Package for the Rumble Match.
And speaking of the Rumble Match, that match will be uploaded this week so... stay tuned!
PS: NXT Takeover: R Evolution is the Best Wrestling Show of the Year! Rivaling NJPW G1 Climax 24 Day 7 of course. (You know, the one with the infamous AJ Styles vs Minoru Suzuki Match?) :p Speaking of Styles vs Suzuki, Adrian Neville vs Sami Zayn will rival that match for Match of the Year title! Ole Ole Ole! Ole Ole! XD
