Anime Valley Wrestling Chapter 3: Winter Warfare 2022 - Part 3, a Wrestling + Cartoon X-overs Crossover fanfic

AVW Winter Warfare [Part 3]

The camera completely focuses on the backstage where an unknown interviewer, who is sporting her green battle suit while holding, alongside her long blue hair, and wide blue eyes. Additionally, she has a well-endowed structure for her age.

"I hope everyone is having a great time here tonight at Winter Warfare. I am Visha, standing here backstage. Before we can proceed to the Main Event, let's welcome our guest at this time, one of the participants of the match, Shinji Ikari!" She announced the upcoming visitor, who approaches her and looks determined. The fans in the background cheered upon the arrival of the said competitor.

"So… uhhh… how will you win the match later?" Visha began asking.

"How? The answer is quite complex and vague, as far as the nature of the match is a concern, we'll see who gets the better edge and that edge will lead that superstar to become the first-ever AVW World Champion! Most of them have an interesting background, myself included, when you find one flaw, they'll take advantage of it" Shinji said and paused. "When I get there in the ring with the other five competitors, we'll see who has the advantage when it comes to firing the first shot. With an opening, I'll offer them with my fist."

He then motions to his clenching fist; however, before he could continue, the camera stumbles upon a short with a messy dark-green hair, giving Shinji an innocent smile. It was revealed to be Izuku Midoriya, another participant from the Six-Pack Match. Izuku then snags the microphone from Visha, who looked perplexed at the developing situation and this earned a positive reaction from the crowd.

"Hello there, Mr. Shinji!" He greeted the other contestant. "I heard you're gonna give them a fist, including me? Well, tough luck, I have the edge over that matter…" Izuku then clutches and pats one of his legs, to send an emphasis to Shinji. "I got the speed, I got the agility, I got the ability. Who knows…? I might able to send you down but not just from a kick, but from a fist."

Surprisingly, Shinji reacted calmly and scoffed as he snatches the microphone from Izuku. "We'll see who gets the opening shot when we meet again. Because I'll be the World Champion by the end of the night!"

"Looking forward to it," Izuku replied as he once again obtains the microphone from Shinji, who nodded and walked out. With that, Izuku also followed suit but went to the other side, which leaves Visha in dismay.

"The microphone! Give back the microphone, please?" Visha shouted to Izuku from a distance as the former attempted to catch an upcoming microphone but was caught by another individual, which turns out to be Tanjiro Kamado. "Eh?!"

Tanjiro stares at Visha, who looks frightened at the sight of the boy.

"I will butt heads with everyone. I will eliminate them all, one by one. I will win the AVW World Championship." He simply said as he tosses the microphone, which was caught safely by Visha, who looked relieved.

"T-That was the interview from the other competitors, we will now head back to the ring with the main event commencing in a few minutes," Visha announced.

("Judas" by Fozzy) played in the arena as the crowd wildly cheered for the familiar notes and voice of the vocalist of the band. That vocalist made his way to the entrance ramp with fireworks and flame pyro gushing in the rhythm of the song. Plus, some fans immediately start to sing the song as Chris Jericho enters the ring, which was occupied by a heavily covered table with a familiar bulge, standing out at the top of the wide table.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Here to present the AVW World Championship Belt – one of the greatest of all time – Chris Jericho!" Mai Sakurajima, who was beside the table inside the ring, announced to earn a louder cheer from the crowd.

"Here he is!" Shun exclaimed enthusiastically.

"There is never anyone who has a 'larger than life' personality, one of the most creative and a multi-talented legend in this business," Corey added. "It is a no-brainer on whom will present such a prestigious title belt than Chris Jericho, the Undisputed Champion back in his time in WWE! And now, he is here at AVW for a reason and that is to unveil the newest world championship belt! And he is making his way to the ring."

"What an entrance by Chris Jericho, the crowd was very happy to see him in the ring, and here he is, ready to reveal the title belt." Shun also added.

Chris stalls time to interact with the crowd, who cups his ears to every side of the ring to hear them singing. When the music stopped, Chris then picks up a microphone from the ringside while the crowd continues to sing the remaining lyrics.

The crowd then cheered afterward after Chris was pleased by the reception of the audience at Tokyo Dome.

"Tokyo Dome! Are you having a great time here tonight?!" Chris shouted, garnering a cheap pop from the crowd. "Tonight… Tonight! We will make a new chapter in the history of Professional Wrestling, another piece of milestone in this industry, a new gold excavated in a familiar mine. And that is… the AVW World Championship!"

The crowd's reaction amplified with that statement as Chris told something to Mai, who instantly nodded.

"I am honored and pleased to be the one who will unveil this World Title Belt. So, without further ado, I am officially presenting to you…" Chris said as the drumroll began to play as he grabs the cloth until he pulls and releases it to get a good look at the newly-presented belt that made the audience applaud for its design. (Let's say the design looks similar between the AEW World Championship belt and IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, I'm lazy to describe it, so be it!)

"Wow! That looks the most amazing thing I have ever seen!" Shun complimented the design form of the belt.

"If this cost millions, it could be the most precious belt either!" Corey added.

"And now… it's time for the main event! Take it awat, Sakurajima-san!" Chris then cried as Mai Sakurajima nodded to begin the introduction.

"The following match is the main event of the evening! With a 60-minute time limit, this match is a Six-Pack Elimination Match! Eliminations can occur if someone is pinned or submitted, the last superstar standing will be the brand new AVW World Champion!" Mai explained the info about the main event as the crowd roared with excitement.

The arena's lights went out as a spotlight was lit up in the entranceway.

("Heathens" by Twenty One Pilots) played in the arena as Kiyotaka Ayanokoji felt his presence and exposes himself in the spotlight. He took a deep breath as the lights went back on and begins to take a saunter at the entrance ramp.

"First, from Tokyo, Japan, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji!" Mai announced as he takes his time to enter the ring.

"From the look from his eyes, this guy seems to be modest and inconspicuous. But from the back of his mind, he is determined and ready to get that World Championship around him." Corey said.

"From his looks too, he is the tallest of them all, I am sure he might be very hard to deal with when it comes to eliminating him, the other competitors might take a long time for him to be get rid of," Shun added Kiyotaka took a quick glance to the title belt.

("Blood / Water by grandson) now playing in the arena as Tanjiro Kamado knelt on the entrance ramp for a few seconds until he screamed loudly as he makes a walk towards the remaining platform. Some fans attempt to offer their hands but were caught by surprise when Tanjiro give them a hasty glare.

"Next, from Tokyo, Japan – Tanjiro Kamado!" Mai next announces the arrival of the demon slayer.

"That presence says that all it takes to win is to collide heads with the best and to obliterate them! This guy, as far as I've known, Tanjiro has a hard head and maybe this could help him win the World Championship." Corey said.

"If his head is hard then what about the inside of it… I mean, look at Ayanokouji, he seems to be a smart man then there's Tanjiro who has a hard head. That will make a difference here if they collide with each other." Shun added.

("Dark in My Imagination by of Verona) is currently playing in the arena as Nagisa Shiota casually walks to the ramp while playing juggle with a knife. He makes his way inside of the ring and has the time to take a look over his opponents then to the belt.

"Also, from Tokyo, Japan – Nagisa Shiota!" Mai continues to introduce the upcoming participants.

"From the way we've watched this person, he seems to have an instinct of an assassin just like what he has implied in his interview earlier," Shun said.

"You'll know it since he is holding a knife and how the heck did it get past security?" Corey added but noticed that the knife was wiggling after touching Nagisa's palm. "Oh, nevermind. I thought we would see an attempted assassination live. That would be catastrophic if that happens."

("RISE" by MADKID) played in the background as Naofumi Iwatani stopped on the ramp and raises his shield as fireworks were blasted beside him as he made his way to the ring while shaking hands with the fans.

"Next, from the country of Melromarc, "The Shield Hero" Naofumi Iwatani!" Mai Sakurajima announced the fourth competitor as he arrived inside the ring where he takes a good look at the title belt and removed his green cape.

"Now here's I am wondering since the battle royal, despite being called a Shield Hero, will he remain longer in a match like this?" Corey asked Shun.

"Well, if it's the shield we're talking, then we're talking about defense and I think Naofumi will utilize this until he has given up, or does he? He seems determined as the others." Shun answered.

("Sore Winner" by There For Tomorrow) was now playing in the arena as Izuku Midoriya halted from the entranceway to the loud cheers from the crowd, compared to the others. He then makes the quickest spring towards the ring as he slides underneath the bottom rope then climbs up to the isolated corner as the fans cheer for him.

"From Musutafu, Japan, Izuku Midoriya!" Mai next announced the arrival of the green-haired, fan-favorite.

"From his performance, we are safe to say that he is the fan-favorite in this match after what has been a great first impression of a performance," Shun said.

"I agree with you but a dysfunctional brawl will break out. How long can he endure these hungry superstars that want glory and the World Championship?" Corey added.

("Never Die" by All Good Things) lastly played over the arena as the final competitor arrive in the entranceway when a shower of pyro from above went off as he poses with a fist raise, making the crowd cheer as he hi-fives the nearest hand he can touch.

"And lastly, from New Tokyo City, Shinji Ikari!" Mai Sakurajima finally introduces the final participant as Shinji firstly stares towards the title belt at the ringside area then enters the ring to meet his adversaries.

"Now this kid tries to make a statement here and his fist is never been ready in this level of competition and as we take a look from them, they looked like they have been waiting for a long time to come to this stage. And it is for the most prestigious titles in the history of this business." Corey said.

"I think they are all ready and already, the tension escalates from here," Shun said.

All six participants took a final good look at their oppositions as the referee signaled for the timekeeper to ring the bell. The six went on to brawl with one another, much to the crowd's shouts of approval. Naofumi fought with Ayanokouji, Nagisa collided with Tanjiro, then Shinji clashes with Izuku.

"Here we go, the competition is already heating up at this moment," Shun said.

The camera focused on Kiyotaka, leaning on the ropes as Naofumi attempts to send him outside but was met with a boot of the former but the latter did not deter and forces himself and his opponent to send themselves outside with a Crossbody, falling on the floor.

Then, Tanjiro bends himself as Nagisa backflips against him and went above. Nagisa went to the other side and sends himself to Tanjiro with his Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors that send Tanjiro outside of the ring. Nagisa then exits the ring and went to Tanjiro, who whips him to the fan barricade back first.

Remaining inside of the ring were Shinji and Izuku as the latter carries him in a Fireman's position but the former's momentum was too much and lands on the apron. Izuku tries to attack but was stopped by a right hand from Shinji. Suddenly, Izuku hops to the middle rope and sends Shinji to the floor with a Triangle Dropkick, and Shinji was caught in the scuffle outside.

"Great shot by Midoriya and from the looks of the outside, everyone is in the same area and I think the only one standing inside has a crazy idea on his mind," Corey said after Izuku went to the ropes and dives off the canvas to the outside with a Tope con Hilo that sends all participants down on their feet as the crowd roared with cheers.

"What a dive by Izuku! I have no idea he has that athleticism." Shun said in awe. Izuku stands up to celebrate with the crowd but was short-lived when he focuses back and sends one of the competitors back to the ring as he picks up Nagisa and tries to cover the androgenic individual but got kicked out at 1.

"I know that an early pin would not be effective but Midoriya tried," Corey said. Izuku picks up Nagisa and shoves him to the nearest corner as Izuku charges toward Nagisa, who instantly hops at an upcoming Izuku, who hits the ring post as Nagisa uses his legs to carry the weight of Nagisa and sends himself to the other side to hook the legs of Izuku on the bottom rope to execute the Tarantula, sending the crowd in amazement and Izuku in pain.

"Tarantula by Nagisa, he is truly an assassin with his crafty techniques!" Corey admired the skills of the blue-haired superstar. On the other side, Shinji enters as Nagisa instinctively lands on the apron and Izuku cluelessly got hit by a clothesline that sends him outside.

"That will cost him many minutes in this match," Shun said. Nagisa stands up as Shinji makes his way to him and kicks him to the stomach to send Nagisa back with a Vertical Suplex. Shinji pins Nagisa for a cover for only a two count.

Shinji began working out on his arm as he twists one of them but Nagisa had him scouted when he slowly climbs up to the middle rope and flips himself back to the canvas and twists the arm of Shinji in return but Nagisa surprises Shinji when he sweeps the leg to cover him for an instant kick out. Shinji returns the favor with a sweep of his own, only for a 1 count. However, Shinji picks up the legs of Nagisa to bridge himself with a Jackknife Pin but only counted two as Nagisa suddenly embraces the waist of Shinji, who holds to the hands of Nagisa, who pushes himself up and slowly swings Shinji and backs him down again in a Back Slide Pin.

Shinji kicks out and the crowd was very pleased to see a sequence.

"Very impressive chain wrestling there from the two!" Corey exclaimed. Nagisa then attempts to hit a Superkick to Shinji, who grabs the boot and spins him around. Shinji tries a Superkick of his own but Nagisa replicates the counter of Shinji a few seconds ago.

In a turn of events, Kiyotaka disturbs the party when he took down Nagisa with a Big Boot and grips the waist of Shinji to throw him with an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex, much to the displeasure of the crowd.

"Oh, my goodness. What a throw by the tallest guy in the match!" Shun exclaimed. Kiyotaka sees Shinji on the corner and jumps to him with a Corner Splash then to the other side to squash Nagisa with another splash to the corner that sends both Shinji and Nagisa down outside.

From behind, Tanjiro entered the ring and clubs the back of Kiyotaka multiple times that sends him to the corner, and continues the beatdown with several shoulder tackles to the gut. Tanjiro isolates himself from Kiyotaka then charges himself with impact to Kiyotaka's gut with a Corner Spear. Suddenly, Naofumi appeared from out of nowhere and hits a Corner Splash to Kiyotaka also. When he looked back, he was met with Tanjiro, who stares back in return to the crowd's coos.

"And I think we are seeing the first but not the last temporary alliances and went with the same move to Ayanokouji," Corey said. Naofumi whips Tanjiro towards Kiyotaka with another splash in the corner that sends the tall man staggering to his feet as Kiyotaka unknowingly got launched by the two with a Back Body Drop.

"What a double team by them! But I don't know if this is a great idea!" Shun said. All of a sudden, Naofumi decides to abandon the temporary partnership as he surprises Tanjiro with a Roll-Up.

Tanjiro kicks out.

"We all know that's gonna happen at some point but I'm surprised that the alliance vanishes quickly than their tag team to Ayanokouji," Corey said. Both stood up as Tanjiro argued with Naofumi, who looked composed, and then the latter decides to shove Tanjiro, who did not react nicely to the act.

Tanjiro then responds with a Lariat, followed by another, and slams Naofumi down with a Scoop Slam. Tanjiro climbs up to interact with the fans, who slightly cheered for the man with a unique scar on his face. Izuku then arrives and enters the ring to meet Tanjiro with the former attempting to hit a Clothesline but the latter ducks the incoming hit and Tanjiro grab the arm and spins him around to meet with a Ripcord Headbutt that sends him back outside. Nagisa followed the steps of Izuku as Nagisa charges to Tanjiro, who lifts him up to hit a Flapjack against the ropes, also sending Nagisa outside.

"And Tanjiro Kamado with a wild head, hitting his first victim!" Corey exclaimed. Tanjiro then picks up Naofumi, attempting to hit a slam but Naofumi lands on his feet and sends Tanjiro to the ropes as he bounces but was caught with a sharp elbow followed up with a Side Slam Backbreaker.

"Big-time backbreaker and just cracks the spine of Tanjiro," Shun said. Naofumi saw Shinji trying to enter the ring but he gives him a punch to the side of the head, which sends the boy down to the floor. Naofumi sees Kiyotaka on the top turnbuckle for an odd reason as the latter tries to leap off but was met with a Bicycle Knee from Naofumi that got him knocked down. The crowd began to cheer for the Shield Hero.

"You know it's a bad idea to climb to the top for a size like Ayanokouji. And I think I can smell the first elimination here." Corey said in fear. Naofumi then picks up Kiyotaka with his strength and hits a Go-To Shield (Fireman's Carry Uppercut) and pins Kiyotaka.

All of a sudden, a hand was seen pulling a leg of Naofumi that got him send outside, much to the confusion of the crowd. When he realizes this, he looks back to see a familiar face.

"Wait a minute… who the hell is that?!" Shun asked but received nothing when he looked over to the girl who have long wavy crimson hair in her armor suit. Naofumi instantly reacts to the unexpected arrival of his enemy and lambasts with the lady.

"I-I-I think I know her! That's his enemy, Malty Melromarc! She just ruined a potential elimination here! I think she came here for a reason!" Corey added. Malty innocently reasoned out with Naofumi, who automatically denies her response as she starts to back out and tries to get her but in a turn of events, two unknown men in their knight attire and their identity were sealed by a golden half-covered knight mask attacked Naofumi from behind as Malty's smirk was now visible and commands her seemingly henchmen to send him to the ringside area as they obliged and whips Naofumi to the ringside area that landed him on a table, scurrying Mai Sakurajima and the timekeeper. The crowd heavily booed at the appearance of Malty and the actions of the unidentified men.

"Come on! The match is still going and you don't have to do this right now!" Shun complained.

"Malty came here for a reason and is to avenge for what she has endured on the decree that was given to her!" Corey responded. The knights cleaned up the area, especially the table, where they remove any materials from it. Malty orders her knights to take him down.

One of them lifts Naofumi up as the other caught Naofumi and shuts down the Shield Hero with a Powerbomb through the table, sending the crowd into the chorus of boos and awes. The knights then send the lifeless body of Naofumi back in the ring. From another side, Kiyotako sees the whole thing happened and takes advantage of this as he covers Naofumi.

The crowd loudly booed from either Kiyotaka's actions or to Malty and her knights as the latter went back to the entrance ramp with Malty sticking out her tongue with his finger under her eye.

"Naofumi Iwatani has been eliminated!" Mai Sakurajima announced the unfortunate news as the boos continues to chime. Two medical staff went to the scene of the crime as they attempt to cater to Naofumi's possible injuries.

Naofumi Iwatani - ELIMINATED

"You're kidding me! We all know that Ayanokouji will be eliminated in a hurry then this Malty girl decides to spoil it and plots an attack on Naofumi." Shun said.

"As much as the reason goes, the match will still continue with more eliminations to come later. That predicament adds up to the significant meaning of this stipulation, so it is legal and justified, no matter what kind of vendetta it is." Corey replied to Shun.

Nagisa kicks the chest of Kiyotaka a few times as the blue-haired boy bounce to the ropes and hits a Sliding Forearm Shot to the face, sending Kiyotaka crawling to a corner. When Nagisa turns back around, he was caught by a Springboard Lariat, courtesy of Izuku, whose energy has been flared up after the move.

"And from above, Midoriya able to take down Nagisa with a Springboard Clothesline and look how Midoriya sends Nagisa to the corner with those shots to the body," Corey said. Izuku spams with punches to every unsecured part of Nagisa's body, who is trying to defend himself but to no avail.

Izuku wraps the head of Nagisa and went for a Running Bulldog but with an incoming Shinji coming, Izuku improvises as he also takes down Shinji with a Running Lariat while completing the Bulldog, sending the crowd into applause. Tanjiro then came in and attempts a Lariat but Izuku ducks under and takes Tanjiro down with a Swinging Neckbreaker.

"Izuku with an array of moves taking down most of them and I think he is going to the top," Shun said after seeing the aforementioned individual as he slowly climbs up to the top turnbuckle, trying to hit a high-risk maneuver. However, he was stopped by Nagisa, who trips the rope as Izuku lands on his nether region, stunning him momentarily.

Nagisa then climbs up to the top as well and gave a beating on the back of Izuku as the former attempts a Superplex but the latter blocks the move as Izuku gave Nagisa a headbutt for his effort. Unexpectedly, Shinji also climbs up to the top and hits Izuku with a clubbing shot to the back, also attempting for a Superplex but that was not enough as Nagisa also inadvertently assists Shinji to execute the move but the resolve of Izuku was strong.

"For some reason, they can't get to aim a Superplex from there and the backbone of Izuku Midoriya is there to save him," Corey said. As soon as he said that, both Tanjiro and Kiyotaka stood up slowly and immediately witness the whole predicament as both men went towards the scene and for some reason, both of them carelessly grabs both Shinji and Nagisa respectively as all of them went crashing down to the canvas with a Superplex/Double Powerbomb combo to the satisfaction of the audience inside.

"Holy moly! A Tower of Doom sends most of the superstars down to the ring!" Corey exclaimed.

"And Midoriya got the worst impact, next to both Ikari and Shiota," Shun added.

Both Tanjiro and Kiyotaka involuntarily went for a cover to both Shinji and Nagisa for an elimination attempt.

Both men kicked out in unison.

"I thought it would be a double elimination will happen there but somehow, they survived the Tower of Doom, a minute ago," Corey said.

Now both aimed for the hurt Izuku as they covered the green-haired boy with both legs hooked by the two, but Izuku ultimately kicked out. Then they realized that both Kiyotaka and Tanjiro did the same thing and looked at each other to the crowd's interest.

"Great minds, think alike they said. You know what's gonna happen next." Shun said. Kiyotaka fires the first shot with a punch to the face and Tanjiro was unfazed as he fires back with his own, almost sending Kiyotaka backward. Both men exchange right hands until they spam their right hands into one another. Kiyotaka prevailed when he shot the gut of Tanjiro with his knee. Kiyotaka lifts up Tanjiro in a Canadian Rack position.

"I think he's going for that Neckbreaker of some sort and Kamado lands on his feet," Corey said. As Kiyotaka attempts to rush to Tanjiro, who lifts him up to hit a Stun Gun across the ropes.

Meanwhile, Nagisa surprises Tanjiro from behind and rolls him backward with an O' Connor Roll.

Tanjiro reverses to one of his own.

Nagisa reverses the pin attempt.

"Wait a minute, Nagisa's holding the ropes!" Shun exclaimed.

"Tanjiro Kamado has been eliminated!" Mai Sakurajima announced after the referee called for an elimination. Tanjiro did not take the news so well as he tries to launch an attack on Nagisa but was stopped by the referee, so are the other members of the crowd, who dislike the sneakiness of Nagisa.

Tanjiro Kamado - ELIMINATED

"As much as it pains to say that this isn't a normal match and Nagisa Shiota just utilizing the bottom rope to tighten the pin. So, in short, there are no rope breaks." Corey explained the predicament. Both Nagisa and Shinji began to stand up at a slow pace. "I don't know why he doesn't know the rules of this kind of stipulation."

"We are now down to 4!" Shun added, seeing the remaining quartet inside the ring at different corners. Izuku then also tries to stand with the help of the ropes.

To a big disadvantage, Kiyotaka notices that he was surrounded by the smaller three, who looked eager to take him out. But before he can say anything, he was caught off-guard with the three's quick offense via kicks and punches to various parts of his body.

"Oh! This is brilliant! Taking out the largest enemy is a great way to somehow even the odds of the match." Corey said.

Unfortunately, Kiyotaka was able to fight them off as he powers out from the offense of his opponents as he delivers a Big Boot to Shinji, another to Izuku and to Nagisa but the blue-haired individual slides underneath and hops back to lock in the Sleeper Hold submission as Kiyotaka faces a breathing difficulty.

"Now it even gets bad if Nagisa hardly cinched the hold," Corey said.

After thirty seconds, Kiyotaka realizes that the hold is loosening up as he sends Nagisa to the corner, sandwiching him in between. As he tries to take a breather, Kiyotaka could not afford to get one as gets dropped on his knee momentarily with a Superkick by Shinji, followed by another from Izuku. Then, the trio looked at each other and their eyes told them to do it and went for the same thing as the trio decks the bigger adversary with a Triple Superkick simultaneously to take them out as the crowd roared in satisfaction.

"Triple superkicks to the head of Ayanokouji and this could be it for him!" Corey exclaimed.

Both Shinji and Nagisa both pulled the unmoving body of Kiyotaka and precisely positions him as Izuku climbs up to the top and leapt off to take out Kiyotaka with a 450 Splash to the gut, which sends Izuku in pain as the trio tightly pins the large man.

The crowd erupted in excitement as the largest man of the match was eliminated as he rolled out of the ring.

"Kiyotaka Ayanokouji has been eliminated!" Mai Sakurajima announced.

"A triple stacked pin was enough to keep Ayanokouji down to a three. And speaking of which, we're down to that same number." Shun said, currently observing the situation in the ring.

"It gets tougher in this part and I think the fatigue sets in for the final three inside of the ring," Corey said.

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji - ELIMINATED

The remaining three took a breather and stood up as they looked at each other once more to see who will break the ice as the crowd continues to roar with applause, showing their love to the remaining competitors.

All of a sudden, both Shinji and Izuku went for the same idea as they attempt to blindside Nagisa with a punch but the latter ducked and went for a Superkick to Izuku but the kick was passed to Shinji, who got stunned and fell on one knee while Nagisa surprises Izuku with a sweep of the leg of Izuku, also landing on a knee. Then Nagisa began a spree of Shoot Kicks to both men as it continued for several seconds until Nagisa stalled to land a hard Roundhouse Kick to the cheek of Izuku, who rolled out on the apron. He then went for the same move to Shinji but the foot was caught.

"Shinji says no-no to that! Oh! What a right hand by Shinji!" Corey exclaimed. Shinji then whips Nagisa to the ropes as the latter sends himself to Shinji's waist for a Wheelbarrow attempt but was stopped by Shinji, who hooks both arms from behind and plants Nagisa with a Hook and Ladder on his face as Shinji went for a pin attempt.

Nagisa kicks out as Shinji's expression changed into an upsetting mood.

"Now Shinji looks like in desperation mode here," Shun said.

Shinji picks up Nagisa for an attempt at an Exploder Suplex but was stopped when Nagisa hits several Elbow Shots to the side of the head of Shinji, allowing Nagisa to escape. Nagisa grabs Shinji's head in a Cravate position and inundates Shinji with multiple Knee Strikes to the face as Shinji collapses on one knee and Nagisa ends it with a Roundhouse Kick to the side of the head, sending him down at the mat completely.

"Shinji's face got flushed after that well-placed kick from Nagisa and I think he's going airborne!" Corey said. Nagisa then climbs up to the second rope and drops the knee on the head of Shinji, causing awe to the fans. "A Knee Drop to put the end to Shinji and Nagisa takes the cover!"

Shinji kicks out, much to the surprise of Nagisa. This time, Nagisa was in distress after a shocking kickout by his opponent.

"What?! He just kicked out after all of those strikes to the face! What is he made of?!" Shun said in disbelief.

"I-I don't know how to answer that question, Kaidou. But the thing is, the determination of these three is visible from our position here, even the audience knows that too." Corey answered.

When Shinji moved and began to crawl, Nagisa wraps the isolated arm of Shinji and turns it around into a Cross Armbreaker submission, causing Shinji to shout in pain.

"Oh, no! The Cross Armbreaker has been applied and does Shinji even have any gas left on his tank?" Corey asked as they watched the match progress. "This might get longer and agonizing if Shinji doesn't have any left."

Shinji slowly makes a response as he attempts to pull himself carefully to the nearest rope using his lower body strength but Nagisa notices the movement as he kicks the face of Shinji to make him discontinue the attempted rope break.

"Ugh! Somehow, the kicks looked nasty and might cause a loose tooth from Shinji and I think he could not handle it anymore." Shun said after seeing Shinji's movement halted by the continuous kicks as the submission was continuously applied.

Suddenly, a wild Izuku appeared and hits a brutal-looking 450 Splash to Nagisa that ceases the submission hold as Izuku makes a pin attempt.

"Where the hell did he come from?!" Corey said in incredulity.

The crowd cheered up on Izuku after he successfully eliminates Nagisa, who immediately rolls out of the ring while clutching his gut.

"Nagisa Shiota has been eliminated!" Mai Sakurajima announced the fourth elimination.

"We are down to two and I don't think these guys have enough energy, even a proper standing posture, they couldn't make it and are only relying on the ropes," Shun said.

"Man, they are still even functioning! They surely have the will to strive to anything to become the inaugural AVW World Champion!" Corey added.

Nagisa Shiota - ELIMINATED

Both men stood up at a snail pace while clutching the ropes for support as they took a respite. After what it seems to be an eternity, the last two remaining superstars stood up as they looked at each other with their eyes, sending daggers to one another.

The duo sends their message with their Forearm Shots to their faces for a good few seconds until Izuku sends more strikes to Shinji, followed by a Spin Kick to the gut then a kick to the chin, and a kick to leg that sends Shinji kneeling on one knee. Izuku attempts to finish the touches with a Superkick but Shinji somehow ducks the kick and catches Izuku on his neck, throwing to the corner with an Exploder Suplex.

"Both of them threw their best moves to one another but either man could not afford to lose in the main event," Corey said.

"Uh-oh! I think Izuku's stuck and he's upside down…" Shun said, noticing that Izuku is in a Tree of Woe position.

From the other corner, Shinji sprints towards Izuku and hits a Basement Dropkick to the head of Izuku, landing on his head. Shinji's energy then surged up as he picks up Izuku in a Vertical Lift and plants the head of Izuku with a Brainbuster!

"Oh, no! That's the End of Evangelion Brainbuster! This could be it!" Corey exclaimed after seeing the assumably the finishing move of Shinji and for an unknown reason, Shinji decides not to cover as the commentary crew found it an odd move. "What the hell is he thinking? His head went drop fast and he didn't go for the cover!"

"I agree, it is some sort of a rookie mistake," Shun said, agreeing to Corey's comment.

Shinji lifts up Izuku once again for another Brainbuster attempt but Izuku miraculously counters it with a Small Package Pin.

Shinji kicks out, much to the shock of the fans inside as they also cheered for the nerve-racking performance between the two. Izuku somehow got up first as Shinji attempts to stand as well but was met by a Superkick of Izuku then a second Superkick that got Shinji kneeling and a third Superkick that sends Shinji down, causing the crowd to cheer loudly for the green-haired superstar as he slowly makes his way to the top.

"He's sensing it! He's sensing it!" Shun chanted as he watches the action in the ring. "He's on top!"

"Is he gonna do it?!" Corey exclaimed.

Izuku leaps off the top and hits a 450 Splash hitting the gut of Shinji. Izuku then makes the slowest crawl towards his opponent and the crowd is anxiously waiting for the pin attempt to come as fatigue sets him in entirely. Izuku extends his arm to the chest of Shinji as the referee begins to cover.

The ring bell rang in succession as the music played for the winner of the match and the crowd continues to cheer on enthusiastically.

"Here is your winner, your inaugural AVW World Champion, Izuku Midoriya!" Mai Sakurajima announced.

"What a battle! What a fight!" Shun exclaimed. "We have crowned a new champion!"

"You stole my thunder, Kaido! But I'll exempt this one moment since this is a history-making moment for the new champion and to Anime Valley Wrestling!" Corey responded in a sincere tone. "What a match!"

Chris Jericho, who appeared from out of nowhere, offered the title belt to the worn-out Izuku as he accepts it with pleasure and raises his hand in victory and Chris raises the other arm to acknowledge him, garnering a more positive reaction from the audience. Due to this, his buddies, Katsuki Bakugo, Shoto Todoroki, and Ochako Uraraka came out of the entrance ramp as they ran towards the ring and surprises him when the boys lift up the champion while Ochako pats the back of Izuku. The celebration escalates when the pyro in the entranceway and the shower of golden streamers blew off, almost covering the camera shot.

"What a night! What a debut for Anime Valley Wrestling!" Shun exclaimed more.

"This is definitely a night that we will never, ever forget! Speaking of which, do not forget to watch the premiere of AVW Elevation, which will be aired live every Tuesday night! Plus, we have a ladder match to watch at the very first episode and that is a mega-packed decision made by the General Manager!" Corey added. "Here's to the new champion and here's to a never-ending love for Professional Wrestling! This is Corey Graves…"

"And this is Shun Kaidou… leaving you guys with a good night! We will see you on Tuesday for Elevation!" Shun said the final messages of the event.

The camera panned to the continuous celebration of the newly-crowned champion as Izuku climbs to the top to raise the belt while his colleagues clapped for the champion as the camera fades to black, ending the show entirely.
