4. Elevation - Episode 1

AVW Elevation: Episode 1 (January 25, 2022)

("Broken World" by Alex Norre) played in the intro as the entranceway and the ramp lit up with pyro and fireworks in a rhythmic banner. After the introductory exhibition, the crowd loudly to an enormous volume with them chanting 'AVW!' repeatedly.

"A new chapter of professional wrestling has begun to write itself." A new but familiar voice began speaking. "This is the first episode of AVW Elevation! We are live here at the UBS Arena, home of the Islanders, here at Elmont, New York! I am Excalibur, your voice of commentary from this point on, and from both sides are Corey Graves and Shun Kaidou!"

The aforementioned duo gestured to the camera to greet the viewers.

"Glad to be around with you, Excalibur. It's a pleasure to meet you." Corey replied first.

"I am pretty much new in this role, so please take good care of me," Shun added.

("Sore Winner" by There For Tomorrow) was played in the arena to loud pop as the World Champion appeared on the entranceway as he raises the belt to raise the voices of the crowd as he makes his way through the ramp and shared hands with the nearest fans.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the AVW World Champion, Izuku Midoriya!" Mai Sakurajima announced as the crowd roared with cheers.

"We are kicking off Elevation with an appropriate one as our newly-crowned AVW World Champion, Izuku Midoriya, felt his presence known here in New York!" Excalibur stated.

"And it seems his celebration will continue here in the United States!" Shun added.

"Celebration is alright at first but overdoing it the second is not. This is a complete waste of time and this is only our debut episode of Elevation too!" Corey exclaimed.

Izuku then rolls in the ring and climbs up to the top turnbuckle as he raises the belt one more time as the crowd cheers for the champion. He then decides to say something as he picks up a microphone from a crew ringside to begin speaking when the music died in the background.

"IZUKU! IZUKU! IZUKU!" The New Yorkers chanted the name of the champion.

Izuku chuckled in response.

"Thank you, thank you for the warm response!" He began speaking. "You know that I love working… working my way up with the people, who supported me from the beginning! And most of them came from NEW YORK!" Izuku shouted as the audience went nuts from mentioning the state.

"You deserve it! You deserve it! You deserve it!" The audience chanted.

"Nah, guys. I didn't deserve it, you deserved it! You deserved to have a champion, a champion that loves to fight!" Izuku exclaimed. "In fact, I have a proposition for those who want it, if you wanna fight, I'll give you a fight!" He then raised the championship, much to the pleasure of the crowd.

"Izuku Midoriya, our World Champion, may have issued a challenge throughout the roster of AVW!" Excalibur announced. "A fighting champion indeed."

"Now who can answer the challenge though there seems to be a plentiful of superstars back there," Corey said.

("Falling Down" by Oasis) was played in the arena as the crowd react to none when a quartet of individuals came to the entrance ramp, consisting of three men and a woman, who was holding a microphone.

"Who the hell are they?!" Shun asked.

"Let them speak, Kaido. They surely know when to speak and when to introduce themselves." Corey said.

"Cut the music! Cut the music!" The sole girl on the entrance told the audio crew as the music died down then focuses her gaze on Izuku. "Izuku Midoriya, issuing a challenge to anyone is a great idea for a guy like you. Because when you utter those words, our minds went straight to the core. We came, we look, and we speak with reality."

"WHO ARE YOU?! WHO ARE YOU?! WHO ARE YOU?!" The crowd asked the newcomers, much to the girl's chagrin.

"Oh, shut it, you New Crooks!" The girl answered the jeers of the audience. "All of you don't give a crap about this group, who will bring the company to new heights. We will change the game, we will change the system, and we will change AVW."

They began to move and stride towards the ringside area, where they scattered around the ring to trap Izuku.

"We are the SOS Brigade, known as Speak Out To The Flaws of Wrestling Society Brigade. We're here to speak out about what's wrong with this industry and we're here to take out any unnecessary waste and we are talking to you, Mr. Fighting Champion!" She continued and stands on the apron to prove her point, much to the crowd's dismay.

"Speak out to the what?!" Shun asked.

"Speak Out To The Flaws of Wrestling Society Brigade. That's what it meant, Kaido." Corey answered.

"For those who want to join in our revolution, please ask me, Haruhi Suzumiya, the spokesperson and the leader of the brigade. Or maybe, ask Kyon, over there." She gestured to the tallest individual on the other side. "Or rather ask my secretaries, Yato and Yukine."

The two, presumably siblings, waved to the camera but not to the crowd. One was sporting purple hair, while the other has yellow hair.

"You know what? Let's quit these horrible intros! Let's get straight to the point! SOS Brigade, GET RID OF THE WASTE!" Haruhi shouted as the trio slowly climbs up to the apron on each side as she orders them to get to the champion.

"Now Izuku is facing a difficult predicament here, they might give him an outnumbered of a beating," Excalibur said.

("New Rockers" by Jim Johnston) played in the arena as Katsuki Bakugo and Shouto Todoroki came out to cheers as they raced towards the ring, sliding underneath to gather up on their buddy, Izuku.

"The champion has back up and it's his best friends!" Shun exclaimed.

"It looks like to me that the SOS Brigade is backing out and wasn't expecting any of this," Corey said.

The crowd booed the brigade after the men jumps back at the ringside as Haruhi commands them to back out as they are on the ramp with Haruhi, sending a message to them.

"We're getting rid of you and your new junkies over there!" Haruhi shouted in a threatening tone while Shoto answers back incoherently.

"What a way to kick off our first episode of Elevation!" Excalibur said. "But still to come here tonight, a 'Steps to Stardom' Ladder Match to determine the opponent for Asuka Langley Soryuu at our first TV Special, which will take place on February 8 at Washington D.C. Plus, more tag-team action with the continuation of Tag Team Turbulence Tournament as the team of Tanjro Kamado and Zenitsu Agatsuma will face the team of Nagisa Shiota and Karma Akabane, who made their impact on Winter Warfare."

Office of the General Manager

The office was filled with visitors, consisting of Kazuma Sato, Aqua, Darkness, and Megumin were currently having a conversation with the General Manager Kokomi Teruhashi as the crowd cooed over the godly appearance of the general manager.

"So, when will I get my chance over Rimuru Tempest?" The very adamant Kazuma Sato asked.

"Well, after a few days of consideration of your request, I think I'll consider it. Therefore, you, Kazuma Sato will face Rimuru Tempest at the February 8 show." Kokomi Teruhashi announced the first match for the show.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Kazuma exclaimed, jumping in celebration. "Finally! Now I can teach them dork on not to embarrass Kazuma Satou, who is on his popular phase! No one wants to see Kazuma Sato is on a brink of humiliation."

"Oh, I forgot to say this. Rimuru has a match tonight against Sakuta Azusagawa, and the match is up next—"

"O-Oh, crap! I forgot that I have to do something!" Kazuma suddenly spoke with eyes widened in interest as he walks out of the office, leaving the girls confused and the crowd in laughter.

"Uhhh… may I ask why are we here also?" Megumin broke the ice and asked the GM.

"Right! It's all about this 'Steps to Stardom' Ladder Match for tonight. I have six women on mind, who will battle for the right to face Asuka Langley Soryuu, for the vacated AVW World's Women Championship on February 8." Kokomi answered and broke down into counts as she begins to mention who will be added to the match tonight. "I have, of course, the ever-talented Ochako Uraraka, who was this close on winning her match on Winter Warfare; Kaname Chidori, Mikoto Misaka, Rin Tohsaka, and Rei Ayanami!"

The crowd loudly cheered after hearing the bombshell that was dropped by Kokomi Teruhashi. However, Darkness looked confused after counting down the names.

"Excuse me, there are only five of them." She spoke.

"Ah! Right! It's because you three will compete for the final spot in the Ladder Match tonight! You better bring you're A-game because you're gonna need it for the match tonight!" Kokomi answered, much to the shock of the trio.

"R-Really?" Aqua asked one more time. "You mean us?"

"I am pretty sure, I picked you three after all." The GM answered surely. "Good luck though."

The trio looked at each other as they nervously reacted to one another as they said their awkward goodbyes to each other as they left the office, one-by-one, leaving Kokomi Teruhashi, grinning widely

("Down in Ashes" by Awake) was played in the background as the crowd mildly cheered for the arrival of the blue-haired individual, who makes his presence known as it shared hands with the nearest fans.

"This match is scheduled for one fall, with a time limit of 30 minutes. From the Jura Tempest Federation, Rimuru Tempest!" Mai Sakurajima announced.

"The match is set for our show at Washington, D.C. on February 8 with Rimuru Tempest battling Kazuma Sato! And speaking of matches, we just received word from our General Manager. At the first episode's main event, the team of Katsuki Bakugo, Shoto Todoroki, and the AVW World Champion, Izuku Midoriya will face the SOS Brigade in a Six-Man Tag Team Match! Plus, Aqua, Darkness, and Megumin are in a qualifying match for the final spot of 'Steps to Stardom' Ladder Match, which will happen tonight as well!" Excalibur stated the upcoming matches for tonight while Rimuru enters the ring in the middle rope as he taunts with his right hand, exposing his palm, making the sparklers run over the ring posts, to the cheers of the audience.

"The night is stacked for Anime Valley Wrestling! But the question is – will Rimuru get revenge over Sakuta Azusagawa, who eliminated Tempest on the Battle Royal, back at Winter Warfare. Or will he be got stacked again, like what just happened in that match?" Corey asked.

"That answer will be revealed once the match will begin," Shun answered.

("Go to Hell, for Heaven's Sake" by Bring Me The Horizon) played in the arena as the crowd mildly booed for the incoming arrival of a tall individual, who straightforward makes his way towards the ring without looking on both sides.

"And his opponent, from Fujisawa City, Sakuta Azusagawa!" Mai Sakurajima announced as Sakuta took his time to stare at the ring announcer, who was seemingly intimidated by the individual. Sakuta attempts to make a move but the ring announcer backs off of him, smirking eventually at himself.

"Seems to me that this dude is showing off to our ring announcer!" Shun exclaimed.

"It is fine to be brash and arrogant when it comes to appearance. I think he likes our ring announcer, Sakurajima-san." Corey answered.

"Sakuta Azusagawa and Rimuru Tempest will have the privilege of becoming the first wrestlers to compete here at Elevation. It seems that they are ready as the ring has begun to jingle with the first match ready to kick off here at AVW!" Excalibur exclaimed.

Match #1: Rimuru Tempest vs. Sakuta Azusagawa

Sakuta tries to run over Rimuru, who sidesteps and kicks him in the leg to fire the first shot. Sakuta tries to grab his opponent but was too short for him as the shorter one took advantage with Shoot Kicks to the leg. Rimuru bounces to the ropes and hops over Sakuta, who wisely catches him on a Fireman's Carry position but Rimuru fires back with several Elbow Shots to the side of the face, which let Rimuru able to escape.

"And now, Tempest was able to use his quickness to evade that attempt from Azusagawa. Rimuru drops Sakuta with a Drop Toe Hold and I think Rimuru is trying to put a submission on Sakuta." Excalibur said.

"He's got the Figure Four Leg Lock but it's in reverse! A unique submission and he was able to ground the bigger Azusagawa here." Corey added.

After a few seconds, Sakuta made his way to the nearest bottom rope to grab it as the referee begins to count Rimuru, much to the dismay of the audience.

"Despite being short, the pain must have been prolonging for Sakuta there," Shun said.

After being in the submission, Sakuta sat down on a corner to nurse his legs as Rimuru makes his way to the corner to stomp the defenseless Sakuta for a good five seconds until the referee scolds Rimuru again. Rimuru obliged and went to the other side of the ring, sprinting menacingly towards Sakuta as the latter answers with a Back Elbow to the face of his opponent, making him cover his mouth. Sakuta then follows up with a Clothesline and picks Rimuru up for a Samoan Drop, sending Rimuru to the canvas.

"Sakuta takes out Rimuru with some quick offense and he goes for the cover, but Rimuru only kicks out at 1," Excalibur said as Sakuta picks Rimuru again to throw him to the other side with an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex.

"Like a ragdoll, just throwing him over to the other side!" Shun exclaimed.

"Looks like Sakuta has a chance for redemption here and here he is, grounding the opponent with his Side Headlock submission. Talking about a taste of your own medicine." Corey said.

As Corey said, Sakuta holds Rimuru hostage with a Side Headlock submission. During the hold, the crowd began to chant the name of Rimuru as he attempts to escape the hold but was held grounded by Sakuta's arms.

"Rimuru is stuck on the Head Lock, if he doesn't have any energy left, he had no other choice but to tap!" Corey exclaimed.

Somehow, Rimuru slowly begins to held ground as he starts to rise up to the delight of New Yorkers, attempting to let go of the hold by attacking Sakuta's gut with his Elbow Strikes and successfully escapes the hold. Rimuru tries to bounce the ropes and jumps through Sakuta, who instinctively catches Rimuru to attempt another Overhead throw but Rimuru lands on his feet as Rimuru jumps on the middle rope to send Sakuta down with a Crossbody.

Sakuta kicks out.

"A Springboard Crossbody takes out Sakuta but it wasn't enough to make it to three," Excalibur said.

Rimuru took action quickly as he deadlifts Sakuta, sending the crowd in awe, and hits a Shinbreaker, causing Sakuta to fall down while Rimuru grabs the leg and hits a Dropkick to leg.

"Wow! An impressive feat by Rimuru, able to lift Sakuta like that! And now, he's going to the top to finish this off!" Shun exclaimed.

Rimuru took time to taunt the fans as he put himself and twists around with a Spiral Tap, but Sakuta's knees were raised, causing Rimuru to land on them on his back, wincing in pain.

"Rimuru went for the Glider Strike (Spiral Tap), but was backfired at the expense of Sakuta's injured legs!" Excalibur exclaimed.

"It is a risk but it might be worth it eventually," Corey said.

Rimuru stood up to meet his adversary but was met with a Leaping Lariat by Sakuta despite his legs in pain. After a few seconds, Sakuta sees Rimuru on a corner and makes his way to him with a Body Avalance, followed up with Corner Lariats, much to the chagrin of the fans and carries Rimuru, hitting a Samoan Drop but did not go for the cover. Sakuta has waited for Rimuru to stand up on his own as his fist was ready to uncork a punch as he jumps to Rimuru, attempting for a Superman Punch, but Rimuru collides himself with his shoulder and Sakuta's knee to send him with a Back Body Drop, causing for Sakuta to injure himself as he shouts in pain.

"Oh, no! I think Sakuta went for the Superman Punch but Rimuru collides with the already injured knee of Sakuta. And Rimuru, adds up with a Spinning Back Kick! This could be the moment for Rimuru to win the match and he is on top!" Excalibur paused to see Rimuru hit the Spiral Tap on Sakuta. "Glider Strike! The Glider Strike by Rimuru and he hooks the leg…"

Sakuta's leg somehow breaks the count as he hangs it against the bottom rope, causing Rimuru and the crowd to be upset.

"Sakuta's leg just saved the match up and that was an instinct move by Azusagawa!" Corey exclaimed.

"I would call it a desperation move by him!" Shun replied.

"No, it doesn't! He has the move of a veteran and that made me impressed with this guy's ability!" Corey countered.

Rimuru began to improvise as he heads up to the top once again to eliminate Sakuta for good. To his surprise, Sakuta also came back up and startles Rimuru with a Superman Punch from out of nowhere, sending him spilling to the canvas. With this, Sakuta eyes his opponent and beckons to his opponent to come. After a few seconds, Sakuta roared as he takes down Rimuru with a vicious Spear, causing the crowd to go in awe.

"A SPEAR! What a spear! Rimuru just got flattened from inside out!" Shun exclaimed.

"A ferocious Spear by Sakuta Azusagawa! Despite his knees hurting, he goes for the cover and hooks the inside leg!" Excalibur added.

The bell rang in succession as his theme was played in the background, causing the crowd to roar with boos.

"Here is your winner, Sakuta Azusagawa!" Mai Sakurajima announced the victor of the match as that victor's arm was raised by the referee and instantly snags the arm from the referee as he exits the ring under the bottom rope.

"Déjà vu from last Saturday! A Spear just took out the life of Rimuru Tempest and was eliminated in the process, just like time!" Corey exclaimed.

"But what a valiant effort from Rimuru Tempest! He tried but it wasn't enough to take down the big man." Shun added.

"What a way to kick off Elevation—" Excalibur stopped as he saw an individual making his way to the ring. "Who the heck? That's Kazuma Sato! What is he doing here?!"

"Of course, who would forget Kazuma Sato's elimination by Rimuru Tempest from the Battle Royal?! That was very humiliating for him to get eliminated first!" Corey exclaimed. "Oh, what does he have in mind right now?"

Kazuma deliberately stomps the unconscious Rimuru as he picks him up and hits a Chunchunmaru (Samoan Driver) for good measure. To add insult to injury, Kazuma then tosses Rimuru to the outside, causing the crowd to boo more for Kazuma, who wipes his hands like he was taking out the trash.

"Adding insult to injury, to give payback, Kazuma just favored himself and takes out Rimuru, just like what happened back at Winter Warfare!" Corey exclaimed. "This kid made an exclamation point here tonight, before their match on February 8."

"Big statement by Kazuma but we need some medical team here, we need to know if Rimuru's still breathing," Excalibur said. "There's more to come here at the first episode of Elevation as the five participants 'Steps to Stardom' Ladder Match will be in action tonight. And speaking of participants, coming up next – Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness will compete for the final spot at that Ladder Match tonight!"

"Plus, the main event of the evening – SOS Brigade's Kyon, Yato & Yukine will take on Katsuki Bakugo, Shoto Todoroki, and our World Champion, Izuku Midoriya, in a Six-Man Tag Team Match tonight! And many more to come here at Elevation!" Shun added.

Match #2: Aqua vs. Megumin vs. Darkness – Winner will compete at 'Steps to Stardom' Ladder Match

("Stardust" by Geoxor) played in the background as the flames burst on the ends of the entranceway, indicating that someone will be arriving. The girl in red arrived with her staff, which she taps it to make the pyro go booming in the rhythm of her theme as the crowd cheered for the small girl, who gave out fives to them.

"The following women's match is a Triple Threat Match, set for one fall and with only a 30-minute time limit. Approaching in the ring, first, from the city of Axel, Megumin!" Mai Sakurajima announced as Megumin makes her way between the ropes and climbs up to remove her wizard hat, raising her staff to the delight of the crowd.

"The Crimson Wizard of their kingdom, Megumin makes a fiery appearance here at Elevation. Can she make the best of her efforts to defeat her other friends?" Excalibur asked his colleagues.

"From a standpoint, it's a possibility. However, from the looks of it, I would say she has the distinct disadvantage between her and her colleagues." Corey said while Megumin jumps off from the top as she waits for her competition to arrive.

("Shadow is the Light" by THE SIXTH LIE) played next as the crowd mildly reacted to the presence of a taller individual, who was wielding her sword and concentrates, closing her eyes and stabbing her sword in the middle of the entrance ramp, causing the pyro to explode beside of her as she makes her way across the ramp to the ring.

"Next, from the city of Axel, Darkness!" Mai Sakurajima called out the gorgeous blonde, who also interacted with the fans nearby.

"She is the crusader among them. With a physique like that, she could be, in fact, the toughest women we have seen yet from the roster of women here in AVW." Shun explained.

"I, somehow, agree with you, Kaido. Darkness has the body of a warrior and utilizing her prowess and herself may somehow lead to a victory for her tonight." Corey said.

Darkness enters the ring with her, waving to Megumin, who waves back nervously.

("Genius of the Sky" by CFO$) played in the arena as one goddess makes her entrance, playing with her fans and a pot of soil on the top of her head. She carefully makes a 360-degree rotation as spouts of water emerged from the fans as the pot grew a flower, sending the flower into blossoming mode. She then makes her way towards the ramp, where she continues to shower flower petals over the fans.

"And their opponent, also from the city of Axel, she is the 'Goddess', Aqua!" Mai Sakurajima announced the third player of the match.

"A goddess from her own kingdom, being worshipped by the audience here at New York. Can she use this godly feature to get an opportunity for the Ladder Match tonight?" Excalibur asks another question from his broadcast team.

"If she can withstand any attempts from her friends, I would say she has a sharp lead and can win the whole thing," Shun answered.

"Are you implying that Aqua is useless?!" Corey reacted indignantly.

"I wouldn't say it like that," Shun replied as Aqua makes her final performance on the apron and enters the ring to meet her adventurer friends.

"And now, everyone is here inside of the ring. They have to pull out any strategy they can do and they will put their friendship aside for an opportunity in the Ladder Match, which is still to come tonight here at AVW Elevation!" Excalibur said.

With everything intact, the referee signals the timekeeper to ring the bell as it did. The crowd began to chant: "LET'S GO DARKNESS!", "MEGUMIN!", "AQUA'S USEFUL!" repeatedly that no one in the ring began to take the first shot.

"What do you know? Everyone knows that Aqua is definitely a useful goddess!" Corey exclaimed. "And here they are, taking out Darkness with a clothesline to the outside!"

Both Aqua and Megumin worked together to take out Darkness to the outside as Megumin bounces to the ropes to attempt a dive but was stopped by Aqua, who received jeers from the crowd as she scolds Megumin for going hard at Darkness, who begins to stand up on her own. Giving zero damns to Aqua, Megumin once again bounces to the ropes and went through Aqua's skirt and the bottom rope to take down Darkness with a Suicide Dive and a surprising Tornado DDT, spiking Darkness' head, causing the crowd to go in awe.

"TOPE SUICIDA INTO A TORNADO DDT TAKES OUT DARKNESS TO THE OUTSIDE!" Excalibur exclaimed. "What a way to kick off the match!"

"Taking out the biggest competitor is a wise strategy for every wrestler to utilize and somehow, it effectively works this time," Shun added.

Megumin climbs back up to the apron only to be pulled by her hair by Aqua, who scolds her again as Megumin yanks the head of Aqua and hits a Rope Stunner, dazing her and clutching her jaw. Megumin picks up her pace as she springboards to the top rope and hits a Springboard Lariat, taking out Aqua as Megumin went for the pin but Aqua kicks out at 1.

"What a flurry of offensive moves by Megumin but Aqua knows the stakes of the match," Corey said.

Megumin sees Aqua on the corner and begins to chop the chest of Aqua, wooing the audience for every strike. However, Megumin seems unimpressed with the chops as she sees the chest size of her friend as she began a frenzy of Knife Edge Chops to Aqua. A few seconds later, Darkness came in as she tries to surprise Megumin from behind but the mage instinctively sidesteps and instead splashes Aqua, who rolls to the outside as Megumin continues spamming chops to the Darkness; however, Megumin looked surprised when Darkness moaned to every chop that she took.

"Why in the world is Darkness reacting like that?" Shun asked.

"I think she has the masochistic tendencies and I don't like the sound of that," Excalibur answered.

When Megumin continues the chopping, she realized that her hand was sore and has no effect on Darkness as she climbs up to the second rope and began raining down punches to the face of Darkness. After the sixth punch, Darkness surprises her and tosses Megumin, face-first in the turnbuckle. Darkness went to the other corner to kick Megumin's face with a Running Facewash, followed up with a Vertical Suplex Toss as Darkness covers Megumin.

Aqua breaks the pin, causing Darkness to look over the goddess, who looked horrified at her larger friend.

"Aqua breaks the count but she caused an oopsie to Darkness! She doesn't like that though." Excalibur said.

"I mean, she broke the count and it's for every woman for herself, likewise what will happen later tonight in the Ladder Match," Corey replied.

Darkness easily tosses Aqua into a corner as she attempts to splat Aqua, who dodges out of harm's way as she rolls to the outside, which leads to Darkness following her as well. Aqua made a roundabout trip around the ringside area as she enters back inside with Darkness, trailing her from behind. Aqua then sees Megumin standing up as she uses her body to take down the incoming Darkness, sending Megumin rolling outside while Aqua takes advantage with multiple stomps to Darkness.

"Wow! Talking about utilizing the ring to her advantage, Aqua made a smart move by using Megumin as a weapon to take down Darkness." Corey said.

"If that's what you're referring about her usefulness, then there she is, she is taking the momentum in the match," Shun added.

Aqua grabs Darkness and whips her to the ropes as Darkness went to the other side and hits Aqua with a Running Crossbody Block, squashing Aqua in the process as Darkness makes the pin attempt.

Aqua kicks out immediately. Darkness asks the referee one more time but the referee answered that Aqua kicked out at two.

"It's a clear two, Darkness. But understandably, Darkness is upset and it is getting on her nerves." Shun said.

Darkness then picks up Aqua and sends her to the top turnbuckle and she follows up by climbing to the second turnbuckle, trying to attempt a Superplex but Aqua fought back with several punches as Darkness fires back with Headbutts that rocked Aqua. Darkness tries to lift Aqua up but lacks the strength to perform the Superplex. Suddenly, Megumin appeared on the apron as she rolls forward, hitting Darkness with a Sunset Flip Powerbomb, forcing Darkness to hit a Superplex on Aqua, who took the hardest damage on the spot. The spot caused the crowd to applaud this big spot.

"A Tower of Doom sends all three through the ground!" Excalibur exclaimed.

"Whoever stands up first will get the advantage and the momentum will be shifted to that competitor," Corey added.

After a minute, Megumin gets up, followed by Darkness as Megumin hits a punch to Darkness then to a rising Aqua. Megumin then whips Darkness, who counters the whip as she sends Megumin to a corner. Darkness attempts to run over Megumin, who sidesteps in a nick of time as Megumin grasps the hand of Darkness and climbs the turnbuckles, took a slow tightrope walk and jumps off to Aqua, nailing an Arm Drag/Headscissors Takedown to both Darkness and Aqua respectively, to the satisfaction of the crowd.

"The momentum takes over Megumin with a combination that would make the late, great Eddie Guerrero proud!" Excalibur exclaimed.

"You could say that again!" Corey replied.

Aqua gets up first and got hit by a Dropkick, courtesy of Megumin, followed by another to Darkness that sends her down in the canvas, which leads to Megumin climbing up to the top turnbuckle. Megumin taunts like the late, great Eddie Guerrero as she hits a Frog Splash to Darkness as she covers for a pinning attempt.

Aqua breaks the pinfall as she mounts on Megumin and assaults her with her right hands, much to the chagrin of the crowd.

"Aqua, once again, saves the opportunity and takes the frustration out to the defenseless Megumin!" Excalibur exclaimed.

"Frustration and Aqua doesn't even go in the same sentence. But if it does, it all goes downhill from there!" Shun added.

Aqua picks up Megumin and her arm to hit a Short Arm Lariat. Then, Aqua focuses on Darkness and her legs as she attempts for a Figure Four Leg Lock but could not get the perfect execution as Darkness struggles herself to avoid getting victimized by Aqua, who saw Megumin running towards her as she grabs her and hits a Northern Lights Suplex on Megumin while the submission was finally synched in as the referee begins to count on Megumin, causing the crowd to go in awe and applaud Aqua.

Megumin kicks out but the submission onto Darkness continues as she tries to escape the hold.

"USEFUL GODDESS! USEFUL GODDESS! USEFUL GODDESS!" The crowd loudly chanted for Aqua.

"The New York crowd are now behind Aqua with the unbelievable strength that she performed!" Corey exclaimed. "If Darkness continues to struggle, she will have no choice but to acknowledge the skills of the goddess!"

"Wow! The crowd is really rallying behind Aqua and the match begins to build tension for good!" Shun added.

Megumin, from behind, surprises Aqua with a Crucifix Pin to break up the submission.

Megumin tries to make a run for Darkness but suddenly, Aqua treats Megumin into a surprise Roll-Up pin.

The bell rang in succession as the crowd went nuts as Aqua was shaking to her core after hearing the bell. The music began to play afterward.

"Here is your winner, Aqua!" Mai Sakurajima announced the victor of the match as Aqua's arm was held by the referee while Megumin looked in shock for her friend's victory.

"YES! YES! Oh, my goddess! The goddess prevailed! Aqua is advancing to the 'Steps to Stardom' Ladder Match tonight!" Corey enthusiastically said.

"What a victory for Aqua, with the use of the ropes and her long legs, she successfully won a ticket in another match for tonight!" Excalibur added.

"Not gonna lie, I thought Aqua would do the least damage but color me impressed, she deserved the victory after an impressive and competitive match!" Shun complimented Aqua, who just got outside of the ring to celebrate.

"Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa! Hold it right there, Aqua!"

Aqua stopped and looked over to the entrance ramp to see the General Manager, Kokomi Teruhashi, making her presence known to the crowd.

"Congratulations, Aqua! You fought hard in your qualifying match!" The GM said and paused. "However, since we have a scheduled Six-Man Tag Team Match in the main event tonight. I wonder how will you pull a miracle in the Ladder Match, which will take place… NEXT!"

Aqua's reaction said it all, her mouth widened after hearing a new revelation from the General Manager as the crowd cheered for the announcement.

GM Teruhashi looked from behind and spoke. "Please, can you add more ladders at the ringside? Thank you!" Then she focuses on Aqua, who started to complain. "Aqua, good luck on the match. You're gonna need it." She winked and left the ramp as a bunch of staff entered and brought several ladders towards the ringside area while Aqua was ultimately baffled by the turn of the events.

"It looks like Aqua will have to take a short break after the match and it seems to me, she has the distinction of becoming the first superstar to partake in two consecutive matches in a night!" Excalibur announced.

"Are you serious?! Our General Manager has put Aqua in a dangerous position to be in! What is she thinking?!" Corey complained on behalf of Aqua.

"If it's for the purpose of spectacular, I wouldn't say it's bad and—"

Corey interrupts Shun's response. "It is bad, you know how damaged Aqua is! And for God's sake, the other match is a Ladder Match, it is considered to be one of the most dangerous matches in Professional Wrestling. You think it's not that bad, Kaido? Think again!"

"Unfortunately, Aqua won and will be participating in the Ladder Match. Aqua better need to take a respite as the staff will be taking over for a while, setting up the ladders for the upcoming 'Steps to Stardom' Ladder Match. We will come back once all of the ladders have been set up." Excalibur said.

Match #3: "Steps to Stardom" Ladder Match: Ochako Uraraka vs. Kaname Chidori vs. Mikoto Misaka vs. Rin Tohsaka vs. Rei Ayanami vs. Aqua – the winner will face Asuka Langley Soryu for the AVW World's Women Championship on February 8

("yes" by Tamaru Yamada) played in the arena as the crowd cheered for the arrival of the blue-haired woman, pounding her fists and raising one of her arms.

"The following match is a 'Steps to Stardom' Ladder Match. In this match, the first woman to climb the ladder and retrieve the contract will be the winner and will face Asuka Langley Soryu for the vacated AVW World's Women Championship on February 8! Introducing the participants, first, from Tokyo, Japan, Kaname Chidori!" Mai Sakurajima announced as Kaname enters the ring to climb up to the top to taunt the fans.

"This match will introduce us to a few more women, who will step up to the plate and present themselves as superstars to watch," Excalibur said. "One of them is the girl in blue hair, Kaname Chidori."

"She looks the toughest woman in the match, so far. But we'll see what she can showcase here tonight." Corey added.

("only my railgun" by fripSide) was played next as the fans were treated to an electrifying entrance, in which the ladders on the ramp went electrified, courtesy of the individual from the back, who used her finger to light the electricity of the ladder as she blows the arm and currently making her way underneath the ladder.

"From Academy City, "Railgun" Mikoto Misaka!" Mai Sakurajima announced.

"I don't know if walking underneath a ladder is a good idea," Corey said.

"She doesn't mind about it, besides she's a high-ranked esper," Shun added.

"She's a what?"

"An esper, something from the likes of superpowers."

"Despite making some unusual choices from the get-go, Mikoto Misaka entered the ramp with a buzz! If she wins the ladder match tonight, this will shock the world, in her own words." Excalibur said.

Mikoto enters the ring to look over her competition while Aqua, on the outside, begins to tremble as time goes by.

("Just Close Your Eyes" by Waterproof Blonde) played next in the arena with an individual in her twintails, sporting her long sleeve red shirt and a maroon skirt. She then climbs up to the ladder, doing the mannerisms of one and only Christian Cage.

"Next, from Fuyuki City, Rin Tohsaka!" Mai Sakurajima announced the next participant.

"Coming out here with her inspiration for this sport, Christian Cage, Rin Tohsaka is a competitive woman, who wants to show that she is good and talented as everyone else," Excalibur said.

"From the looks of it, they're on the same level as they are. Unless the match will start, who knows how much can they withstand the punishment that will be brought by these ladders." Corey said.

Rin then climbs up to the top to taunt the fans, reacting well with the fans and her mannerisms.

("Zombie" by The Cranberries) played in the arena as the crowd went bananas to either the familiarity of the song or the presence of a blue-haired, red-eyes teenager, wearing her silver plugsuit.

"Next, from the New Tokyo City, Rei Ayanami!" Mai Sakurajima announced.

"She looks the simplest participants of them all, she's stoic as a stick," Shun observed the current participant's actions.

"That adds up to the unpredictability of the match-up, you'll never know who's having the edge and who has none of it," Corey answered.

"From the response of the crowd to her, she seems to be the fan-favorite to win the match. After all, she completely knows Asuka so well." Excalibur said.

("Bulletproof" by Family Force 5) was played through the arena next as a familiar individual showed up on the ramp. On her hero suit, she exchanges hi-fives with the fans.

"From Musutafu, Japan, Ochako Uraraka!" Mai Sakurajima announced the next participant.

"This kid almost got the pass towards the AVW World's Women Championship match on Winter Warfare but came so close on winning it. Now, Ochako Uraraka has been given a second chance to redeem herself and has the opportunity to face Asuka Langley Soryu." Corey said.

The camera then focuses on Aqua on the outside, who is currently horrified at the current situation as a staff told her to enter the ring, much to her displeasure.

"And the final competitor, from the city of Axel, Aqua!" Mai Sakurajima lastly announced the water goddess as she nervously enters the ropes while the others were looking at her unconvinced.

"Now all 6 participants are on the ring at the same time, it's going to be an all-out war once the bell rings," Excalibur said.

"If I were Aqua right now, I should keep myself hiding from these fresh faces after competing in a competitive match. Once the opportunity strikes, all I have to do is to climb the ladder and retrieve the contract." Corey said, indirectly rooting for Aqua.

"I think everyone is ready, guys. The ladder match should start at any moment." Shun said as the bell chimed, signaling for the match to commence. "And here we go!"

But before everyone can make a move, Aqua shouted at them to stop as she was trying to say something. She said something on the line of "Don't try to hurt each other!" and "Let's be friends!". However, since it's an all-out war, all of the participants who aren't named Aqua did not care and they throw Aqua to the outside, landing back first on the floor as the others began to brawl with one another.

"Come on, now! No need to do that to the goddess!" Corey complained.

"Despite her status, this is a ladder match! Everyone's treated equally here!" Shun responded.

Both Rin and Rei exchange fists inside of the ring, while Kaname and Mikoto took the other side as they all fought one another until they made their way near Aqua on the ramp. While Ochako, on the other hand, picks up a ladder under the ring and sends it inside but was stopped by both Rei and Rin, who thought of the same idea and dropkicks the ladder to Ochako.

"Great minds, think alike! Just like on the other multi-man matches, there would be a short-lived alliance, it can help one but it could drag the other." Corey said.

"Now it's their turn to set up the ladder as both Rin and Rei are working with each other," Excalibur said.

"But there are nowhere near on the contract above!" Shun exclaimed.

The position of the ladder was nearby the ropes as the duo of Rei and Rin are still working to keep the ladder intact. But all of a sudden, Ochako went bouncing on the ropes and tosses herself through the ladder with a Tope con Hilo to the swarm of participants outside. The fans, Rin, and Rei could not believe what they have just seen.

"And Ochako threw caution to the wind and takes out the other participant with a Somersault!" Excalibur exclaimed.

Lately realizing that they are missing the mark, both Rin and Rei moved the ladder in the middle as both women climbs up slowly towards the contract. Also, they realized that they have the same motive as they began firing punches at one another until both were exhausted. Before anyone can land any attack, from out of nowhere, Ochako jumps to the top rope and dropkicks the ladder, sending both Rei and Rin falling to the ropes then rolling out of the ring to a loud cheer.

"Ochako dropkicking the ladder makes the most of it for her as she tries to re-setup the ladder in the middle of the ring," Shun said.

As Ochako successfully stands the ladder, she attempts to climb it but Kaname entered the ring to stop Ochako on her mission as she pulls the leg of Ochako and lands on her feet. Kaname then uncorks a right hand to Ochako, who staggers to her feet as she got whipped into a corner. Kaname jumps and hits a Forearm Shot to Ochako, followed by a Big Boot to the face as she picks up Ochako in a Fireman's Carry position then Kaname throws Ochako on the ladder, hitting the sides of Ochako on the steel.

"What a power of display by the girl from Tokyo, Kaname Chidori," Excalibur said. "And she tries to clear the situation and no one's bothering to enter. This could be her moment tonight."

From behind, Mikoto attacks Kaname on her back as she clubs her exposed body with her forearm strikes. Mikoto then sends her body to the ring post as she was lying in the corner. Mikoto went back and forth with the ladder and Kaname as she climbs up four steps on the ladder and jumps off to hit a Double Foot Stomp to the back of Kaname, who moves outside as she writhes in pain.

"Double Foot Stomp by the Esper and that caught the back of Kaname there!" Shun exclaimed.

"Hang on a second there, Kaido! Aqua is bringing a second ladder inside the ring!" Corey said, noticing that the water goddess brought another ladder inside as she tosses it while Mikoto begins to climb the ladder.

Aqua then sets up the second ladder, leaning on an isolated corner as she saw Mikoto climbing her way to the top as Aqua begins to take the steps of the ladder carefully. When she got there, Aqua meets Mikoto midway as the former fires the first shot to the latter, who fights back on her own and attempts to send Aqua's head to the steel part of the ladder but Aqua was one step ahead as she sends the head of Mikoto on the steel, a few times until Mikoto collapses on the canvas on her back.

Aqua is finally alone as she took time to climb up to the top but it almost happened as Rei yanks the leg of Aqua and sends her back down. Rei sets off uppercuts to Aqua until she became weary as Rei attempts to whip Aqua to the leaning ladder but Aqua blocks the momentum with Rei trying to send her to the ladder as she dashes towards Aqua. However, Aqua catches Rei and hits a Northern Lights Suplex to the leaning ladder on Rei's back as the crowd was in awe.

"Oh, my God! The ladder catches its first victim with Rei got sent on the ladder with Aqua's Release Northern Lights!" Excalibur exclaimed.

"Good thing, Aqua took a breather during the break and we can finally see what she is capable of in this type of match!" Corey added. "Uh-oh! Here comes Tohsaka! Ohhh! Aqua sends Tohsaka onto Rei into the ladder with a Hip Toss! My God!"

"The match is getting extreme at this time around!" Shun exclaimed. "And the fans are loving it here in New York!"

Aqua then begins to climb up to the ladder as she tries to move faster but the fatigue begins to show on her. Meanwhile, Mikoto slowly follows up on the other side of the ladder as Aqua struggles to pick up the pace with Mikoto catches up on Aqua as the esper begins to launch multiple punches to the goddess, much to the dislike of the crowd. After a few seconds, Mikoto gave her a taste of her medicine with Aqua's head sending to the steel a few times. Eventually, Mikoto looks down that no one was there to break the current situation as she grabs Aqua's skirt and was in a Front Facelock position, with the crowd standing on their seats.

"Now what is Mikoto thinking?!" Shun asked.

"She is trying to end Aqua's career here! From up there too!" Corey answered.

"From the top of the ladder…" Excalibur paused as Mikoto hits a Superplex off the ladder to Aqua, with both landing on their backs on the canvas. "SUPERPLEX OFF THE LADDER! HOLY COW! BOTH BACKS MUST HAVE BEEN BROKEN!"

"HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!" The New Yorkers began to chant over the arena.

"That is, it for both Misaka and Aqua, someone better check on them!" Corey exclaimed.

Both Mikoto and Aqua were screaming in pain after their back was landed on the canvas after a high-risk maneuver. With this, some medical staff went over to the two victims to nurse their possible injuries.

Meanwhile, Ochako enters the ring as she attempts to climb the ladder, rung-by-rung, but Kaname entered back while clutching her back as she climbs to the other side to catch up with Ochako, who later realized that there was someone following her. Kaname uncorks a right hand to Ochako, who got stunned momentarily. Kaname attempts to take shots at Ochako but was stopped by Rin with her clubbing blows to the back of Kaname, who was conflicted on who to attack.

Ochako climbs almost to the top as she tries to unhook the contract but was stopped by Kaname, who then focuses on Rin as she tries to fight back but she held on the ladder with Rin, holding both thighs of Kaname as she attempts for a Powerbomb in the leaning ladder but could not get enough strength. With this developing situation, Ochako decides to do something as she hits an Enzuigiri to Kaname, who got rocked by the kick as Rin plants Kaname with a Powerbomb to the leaning ladder, breaking the supply in half, so is Kaname.

"A Powerbomb just took out another participant and it was Kaname Chidori, her back might have been broken in half too!" Excalibur exclaimed.

"Now that I think of it, half of them are broken! There is no way that this match should end with anyone broken." Corey said.

Rei enters the fray as she brought another ladder to toss it to Rin without warning, face-first. Then, she targets Ochako as she throws the ladder on her back. Rei sets up the resting ladder in the canvas as she picks up Ochako and hits a Scoop Slam on the resting ladder. Rei sees Rin standing up as she sets her up in a Cravate position as Rei leaps on the turnbuckle to hit a Springboard Bulldog on Rin to Ochako and to the resting ladder, causing Rin to wince in pain.

"She calls it the Slice of Heaven (Springboard Bulldog) and Rin goes knocked down onto the ladder," Corey said.

"And here's Rei Ayanami, with no one to hold her down as she begins to climb every rung of the standing ladder and she wants it none other than herself!" Excalibur said.

Suddenly, the crowd looked at the entrance ramp to see that Mikoto miraculously came back on her own.

"Hey! Wait a minute! Mikoto is back! Mikoto is back!" Shun exclaimed.

"What the hell?! How did she make it back on her own accord? What is she made of?!" Corey spammed questions but got nothing from his colleagues.

Mikoto then enters the ring as she attempts to pull Rei's leg but Rei fights her off with her boot. But somehow, Mikoto smirked and was able to pull the leg of Rei as Mikoto hits a Codebreaker to Rei, causing the crowd to go in awe.

"Body Zapper (Codebreaker) by Mikoto, taking out Rei from the ladder!" Excalibur said.

Mikoto then saw Rin slowly standing on her own as she picks her up in an Argentine Backbreaker position and ultimately drops her down with her Shock Treatment (Argentine Backbreaker Drop) move. Then, Mikoto ultimately grabs Ochako by her hair and picks her up in a Pumphandle position as she turns it around with a Cutter, she calls it Railgun (Pumphandle Cutter).

"Somehow, someway, Mikoto has surged up enough energy to take out the three of them!" Excalibur said.

"There are certainly bodies everywhere but Misaka is the only one left standing. Go get the contract now, kid! Here's your chance!" Corey said.

From an isolated corner outside, Kaname is still moving surprisingly as she picks up another ladder and climbs up to the apron to insert the ladder between the ropes to connect it to the standing ladder, in which she tries to climb up and uses the new ladder as a bridge to take out Mikoto from behind.

"This is a genius engineering skill from Kaname but how is he able to stand too?!" Shun exclaimed.

"No one knows, Kaido! But at this moment, this could turn ugly in just a matter of minutes!" Corey answered unsurely.

Kaname decks Mikoto from behind as the latter tries to attempts to clothesline the former but was fell into the trap of the former as she grabs both fists to wrap her in a Waistlock and Kaname lifts her up in an Electric Chair position while in the ladder bridge, with the crowd standing up again. Kaname Chidori was able to drop Mikoto with a Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex on the ladder bridge, which gave out and the bodies were spilled on the canvas as the crowd in awe.

"HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!" One-half of the crowd chanted.

"AVW! AVW! AVW!" The other half chanted.

"Un. Be. Lievable!" Excalibur exclaimed. "The ladder fell off, bodies fell off, and their chances of winning this ladder match has been significantly felled too!"

"Who has the backbone to get there and retrieve the contract?!" Corey asked.

As for the question of Corey, both Rei and Ochako amazingly move and slowly climb up the ladder. Meanwhile, Rin also began to move but could not stand up easily. At the top, both Ochako and Rei saw each other as they fight each other with punches as Rin set up the ladder that was previously used by Kaname as she inserts it to the side of Ochako, connecting it from the middle rope to the ladder. Ochako has taken advantage as she was freely able to stand as she kicks Rin a few times until she hits a Pele Kick to Rei, that took her down on the canvas as Ochako is still standing on the ladder bridge and is free and knows that this is her moment to shine.

"Here we go! Ochako may have the second chance on her hands!" Shun exclaimed.

"She is fingertips away from walking out with the contract!" Excalibur added.

Suddenly, from out of nowhere, Haruhi Suzumiya enters the ring as she removes the ladder bridge and calls out Ochako from the top, who tries to stop her with the kicks but was too late to move as Haruhi pushes the ladder that Ochako was in as she was sent to the outside and crashes on the table at the ringside area, backing out Mai Sakurajima and the timekeeper. The crowd chanted "This is awesome!", "AVW!", and "Holy Shit!"

"Haruhi Suzumiya just took the dreams of Ochako Uraraka of becoming the inaugural AVW World's Women Championship!" Corey exclaimed.

"What the hell is Haruhi's problem? She's sticking her business to someone's and she just cost Ochako, the opportunity!" Shun complained.

Haruhi exits the ring to brag about herself and trash-talks the New Yorkers once again as she was held by the other referees, escorting her back. Meanwhile, in the ring, Rin was the only one remaining and standing as she begins to climb, rung-by-rung. As soon as she is on the top, Rei soon appeared and was crawling towards the ladder but Rin was having none of it as she took her time to unhook the clipboard that contains the contract and she grabs the contract as the crowd went wild. The bell rang in succession with Rin, screaming with enthusiasm. Her theme played afterward.

"Here is your winner and will be facing Asuka Langley Soryu, Rin Tohsaka!" Mai Sakurajima announced the victor as Rin falls down to the canvas while holding the contract.

"Rin Tohsaka is your other contender for the AVW World's Women Championship other than Asuka Langley Soryu! It will take place on February 8 in Washington D.C.! What a victory for the Red Devil herself!" Excalibur exclaimed.

"Not gonna lie, I thought we would be ending the match with nobody but in the end, Rin Tohsaka prevailed over the other participants and has the opportunity to become the first-ever Women's Championship here in Anime Valley Wrestling!" Corey added.

"The mess, the carnage, the chaos that was brought upon from the six participants is still visible and the shards of the table and the ladders are spread out, courtesy of these six. But what a hellacious war it has been!" Shun also added.

All of a sudden, Asuka enters the ring as she hits her Second Coming (Curb Stomp) move to Rei, to the chorus of boos of the audience.

"Asuka?! Ah, come on! The match is over and she dares to assault Rei!" Shun complained.

"I don't think she didn't come here to assault Rei, she's targeting her opponent on February 8! She has her eyes locked on Rin Tohsaka." Corey said as Asuka deliver another Curb Stomp to Rin Tohsaka, garnering more boos from Asuka, who snags the contract from Rin's grasp and steals it away from her, leaving Asuka walking out of the ring with the contract as her theme soon began playing.

"Asuka Langley Soryu, left Rin Tohsaka unconscious, with the contract under her hands. What will happen next between these two?" Excalibur left us with an unanswered question. "Let's move on backstage with Ristarte, alongside the other superstars."

Backstage Area

"Thank you, Excalibur, and what a night has been for AVW Elevation. We've seen the carnage, we've seen statement-making actions, but we're still not done yet! And for my guest at this time, the team of Ryuko Matoi and Satsuki Kiryuin, Kill la Familia!" Ristarte introduced the interviewees to the camera, garnering cheers from the crowd.

"Any thoughts about the ladder match that just happened?" Ristarte asked them.

"Any thoughts?" Ryuko responded then paused, shooting a gaze to Satsuki, who has no response. "Well, my thoughts for the participants, who went through demolition with those ladders. I wish I could have gotten there but it doesn't matter."

"So, what's next for the team of Kill la Familia?"

"That's where we can't answer that question since we're still a team and there is no chasing for any championships for us. But we can wait."

After answering the question, two new faces emerge from the area, who seemed unimpressed in their statement.

"Who the hell are you?" Ryuko asked the newcomers, who snatches the microphone from Ristarte.

"Easy there, mischiefs." The blonde girl answered. "Why don't you have any class for a girl like you, and your personal insurance over there?"

That statement irks the other party but they were reluctant to do anything as the blonde continued.

"My name is Cecilia Alcott and I am a representative of England! I know that our motherland is superior to yours, and my friend knows that!" Cecilia said then looks over to her partner, who nodded in agreement. "Even though she's from Japan, she understands me, and she understands how great our country is! In fact, England is better than the U.S.A.!"

The last sentence got roared with boos as the fans began chanting their country.

"She is Houki Shinonono! She is a master of kendo and offense! If you stay closer to her, you'll be on a brink of humiliation!" Cecilia introduced her partner. "So, if you're going to talk about championships…" She then points to Houki. "This woman has that accolade, how about you two? Can't even take a step on your—"

Cecilia was abruptly interrupted when Satsuki came forward with Ryuko smirking from behind as she picks up the microphone from Cecilia, who surprisingly backs out, alongside Houki.

"If you're looking for a fight, we still have the time on our hands," Satsuki spoke.

"Since we're not busy at all, what about a tag match between us four? By let's say, next week?" Ryuko added.

Cecilia then grabs the microphone as her mood changed from cocky to infuriated. "Fine! You got it! We'll see you next week! And after we beat you, we will show the whole world, how superior the country of England is! And how superior are we, Team Stratos, in this division!"

After that, they walked out of their sight as both sisters, scoffed and walks out to the other side, leaving Ristarte alone.

---

But before she could make the closing remarks, the screen suddenly became distorted as it went on static for a few seconds until the screen pans to an isolated room with only a silhouette, typing the words 'Hell Correspondence' as the silhouette froze in its position.

'Revenge is a dish best served cold…'

The camera pans over to a small room as a black yukata was seen lying and was picked up by someone.

'What would you pay?'

The girl begins to wear the black yukata, fully designed with colorful flowers on it. Then, the camera pans over to a phone that is currently ringing.

'For your ultimate revenge?'

The girl in black yukata exited the room to reveal the gloomy weather outside. The screen focuses back on the computer where the cursor touches a button, leading to the girl's eyes brightening with sanguine color.

The color diminishes into black and white as the girl was staring at the images of any individual, who should be given an act of revenge.

The montage of getting terrified by the girl in the yukata was shown. From being choked out to being hit by a vehicle as the clock has struck midnight. The girl then showed a black voodoo doll, in which she unties the knot from the object, which leads to the girl appearing on random people from behind as the screen ends in darkness.

SEE YOU IN HELL.

Ends it with the presence of the girl in yukata, staring sharply at the screen as the screen goes black, automatically transitioning back to the regular broadcast.

---

("Promenade" by Jim Johnston) was played in the arena as the crowd booed the elegant entrance of the upcoming Malty Melromarc, who was being carried on her throne by her knights under the red carpet through the ring.

"Ladies and gentlemen, approaching to the ring, Malty Melromarc and her knights, The Monarchy!" Mai Sakurajima announced.

"The New York fans don't want to see any royalty here," Shun said.

"And here I am, thinking that we need the presence of The Monarchy here in the ring. We should bow down to the queen." Corey suggested.

"The self-professed queen, Malty Melromarc, enters the ring with the guide of her knights. It seems that she has something say pertaining about Naofumi Iwatani." Excalibur said.

The music stopped playing as the chorus of boos continue to make noises throughout the arena. Malty clearly was annoyed but was reluctant to show her emotions as she coughs to gain more boos, instead of silence.

"Silence! Silence, you fools! You see—"

Malty was interrupted by the louder boos from the audience as they chanted "Shut The Fuck Up!" continuously until she shouted in reaction.

"Enough is enough! Let the monarchy address in silence, please." She continued until the jeers died down, indicating for her to continue. "A few years ago, I was disrespected and I was humiliated by the kingdom, my kingdom, no… wait, my country!"

The crowd then cheered for this revelation as they are now chanting "You Deserve It!" multiple times.

"There is no way that the crowd is disrespecting the past of Queen Malty," Corey said in disbelief.

"It was all quiet and prosperous until that… that… Shield Hero, Naofumi, came to destroy the reputation of the kingdom, and then she targets me for my wrongdoings! I haven't done anything wrong! Am I right, gentlemen?" Malty asked her knights, who were on her side as they nodded in agreement. While the crowd responded otherwise.

"The Shield Hero is a disgrace to the country, in fact, Naofumi Iwatani is a disgrace to the kingdom. The fact that my knights eliminated him at his match on Winter Warfare, shows that your hero is a pathetic man. Then, you people, are rallying behind him?! Fine then! If you want that way, then The Monarchy of Malty will be leaving this place right away." Malty said, feigningly disappointed at the crowd as she attempts to exit the ring, garnering cheers from the crowd.

"No, don't go, queen!" Corey exclaimed.

"Come on, Graves. Don't be like that!" Shun replied.

("RISE" by MADKID) played in the background as Naofumi Iwatani stopped on the ramp and raises his shield as fireworks were blasted beside him, the crowd's reaction intensifies as they chanted his name to the satisfaction of the Shield Hero. The self-proclaimed queen began to show her real emotions as she glares towards Naofumi, who was holding a microphone while the music stopped.

"Here's Naofumi, the Shield Hero. It looks like he's here to give a response to the claims of Malty." Excalibur said.

"He is spoiling the monarchy and especially towards the Queen and she's annoyed by her presence! I understand that!" Corey replied.

"Let's just hear what our Shield Hero would say here." Shun retorted.

"Naofumi! Naofumi! Naofumi!" The New York crowd began to chant the name of the Shield Hero.

"Queen Malty Melromarc, can you stall for a few minutes while I'll make a counter-argument on you? New York, do you wanna hear it?!" Naofumi asked the fans, who automatically chanted 'Yes!'.

"Queen Malty Melromarc? That honorary name has a few errors on it that I can afford to clarify it for the people here in New York." Naofumi paused as the crowd cheered for more then he continues, while Malty was beginning to show the signs of herself being annoyed. "Firstly, you're not a queen, you're just a pathetic woman, who wants to gain everything from her country. Who gives you that honorific? Yourself?"

Malty's annoyance began to build up as the crowd was fully behind Naofumi, who continues his spiel.

"Secondly, Melromarc? I thought the real queen… excuse me, your mother abandoned you for your actions?! That's really hard for her to have a daughter that acts like a spoiled kid, maybe, she thinks that you're a pathetic daughter!"

The scale of Malty's irritation begins to rise as she growled, clenching her fists, avoiding throwing any tantrum. Naofumi's smirk began to show as he continues his speech.

"Lastly, I thought I have given you a name," Naofumi said, causing Malty to widened her eyes, knowing what's to come after. "By the way, her name is Bit—"

"STOP!" Malty shouted in anger as the crowd heavily booed. "Stop it! Enough! How much distance can you go to insult me and my monarchy?! I demand respect to all of you, even you, Shield Hero!"

"Oh, I will not stop throwing any bombs on you! You've cost me my World Championship opportunity then you're demanding respect?! How delusional are you, Bit—"

"What do you want, Shield Hero?! I-I'll do anything!" Malty replied hastily but realized that she shouts the wrong phrase that causes her to cover her mouth.

"Excuse me? Did I hear you, right?! You're giving me a favor?" He asked as the crowd chanted 'Yes', causing Malty to grit her teeth tightly. "Here's a favor for you – why don't you send your knights out to face me in the ring? Tonight?"

The proposal sends the crowd into 'Yes' chants once again as Malty has no choice but to speak.

"Oh, I'll accept but it will happen next week!" She responded, causing the fans to boo her.

"I don't care! As long as you don't mess with my life, then I'll be happy to wait." Naofumi replied as he suddenly walks out, much to the delight of Malty. However, he came back as he held on to his microphone. "In case, I almost forgot, I'll see you next week, Bitch."

The music began to play as the crowd instantly roared when Naofumi mentioned the slur on Malty, who began to throw a tantrum as she tosses her crown to the crowd, which was caught by the fans and throws the crown back to her, but she did not care anymore.

"BITCH! BITCH! BITCH!" The crowd chanted as the self-proclaimed queen shouted continuously while her knights attempt to calm her down.

"Wow! What a statement and challenge coming from Naofumi!" Shun exclaimed.

"If that's what he wanted in the first place, then he certainly got it and the queen isn't happy about it. Things will go down next week." Corey added.

"The challenge has been set but we need to confirm this from our General Manager to make the match official!" Excalibur exclaimed. "Coming up next is another quarterfinals match of Tag Team Turbulence Tournament as the team of Tanjiro Kamado & Zenitsu Agatsuma will face the team of Karma Akabane & Nagisa Shiota! But first, let's head back to the backstage area where our interviewer, Chika Fujiwara, is there to bring scoop to one of the teams participating."

Match #4: Tag Team Turbulence Quarterfinals Match: Tanjiro Kamado & Zenitsu Agatsuma vs. Nagisa Shiota & Karma Akabane

"Thank you, Excalibur. At this time, I'm here with one of the teams that will be competing tonight… Karma Akabane and Nagisa Shiota!" Chika Fujiwara introduced them as the camera focuses on the duo, the crowd mildly cheered for them. "Since you're the best of friends, it pretty means that you're an official team in AVW. So, the question is, do you have any strategy against your opponents for tonight?"

"We do have a strategy for tonight and that is to be aware of the opponent's actions. But I think they're friends, right?" Nagisa answered then asks Karma.

"I think they are friends, but best friends are obviously having the better edge. Besides, I watched Nagisa's match last Saturday, you see the way Tanjiro reacted after his elimination?" Karma replied as Nagisa nodded. "The way he reacted is bad, his emotion is his weakness. If he acts like that, then, we have no choice but to take advantage. In fact, they looked like they are die-trying to become the genuine superstars that we are right now."

"I'm not saying that he's a loser but the way he took the loss means that he is one. And tonight, we're exposing that part to the entire arena and we will be the first-ever AVW Tag Team Champions!" Nagisa exclaimed.

("Karma Police" by Radiohead) suddenly played in the arena as the crowd's reaction boomed around the facility.

"Well, there's our cue," Karma said then his face was almost glued over Chika's face, who was horrified at his eyes. "Wanna wish us good luck on our match?"

"Uhhh… g-good luck…" Chika stammered as the distance between faces was off as they went to the curtain, leaving the interviewer, horrified. "B-Back to you, commentary team!"

"This tag team match is a quarterfinals match of Tag Team Turbulence Tournament, and it is set for one fall with a time limit of 30 minutes. Introducing first, the team of Nagisa Shiota and Karma Akabane!" Mai Sakurajima announced the presence of the team, which were carrying a toy knife as they played it around their hands.

"This team consists of stealthy and cunning presence, Karma Akabane and Nagisa Shiota, looks to give their opposition a gut check in this tag team match-up," Excalibur said as they began walking across the ramp.

"From what had just transpired from their respective matches at Winter Warfare, I can safely say that they have the instinct of assassins with their prowess, that can contribute them here in this Tag Team Turbulence Tournament," Corey added as the duo entered the ring, aiming the knife towards the camera.

("Blood / Water" by grandson) now playing in the arena as Tanjiro Kamado and now, with his partner, Zenitsu Agatsuma, knelt on the ramp and stood up to scream into a battle cry as they punched their hands with their fists and raised it in the air to a mild reaction.

"And their opponents, the team of Zenitsu Agatsuma and Tanjiro Kamado!" Mai Sakurajima announced as they entered the ring to face off with their opposition.

"They can describe their friendship as a better team when they're in a battle and it seems that they're up for an upcoming battle here tonight," Excalibur said.

"From what Karma and Nagisa said, their emotions are said to be their weakness. It seems that it is showing right now on them but Zenitsu is there to keep the tranquility over Tanjiro's head." Shun replied.

"So, Tanjiro is a loose cannon if he has nothing to back him up? I think that's what it is and their friendship, right?" Corey asked them as he got no response from his colleagues. "Then I rest my case."

"Right now, it looks like Nagisa Shiota and Zenitsu Agatsuma will start this tag team match," Excalibur said as the referee signals the timekeeper to start the ring bell.

The match has officially started as they ran around the ring until they locked up, the center of the ring, with Zenitsu prevailing as he sends Nagisa in an empty corner to give him a few Shoulder Tackles to the gut. Zenitsu then whips to their corner as he tags Tanjiro to a cheerful reaction, the blonde warrior presses his shoulder to Nagisa's stomach as Tanjiro hits an Uppercut to Nagisa with Zenitsu going back to the apron when Tanjiro hits a Vertical Suplex as he covers Nagisa to a quick 1 count.

"Looks like Tanjiro wants to end this quick but Nagisa has well-scouted this situation already," Shun said.

"They have this instinct of assassins, they can look at their opponent and read their emotion, or maybe their minds," Corey added.

Tanjiro picks up the body of Nagisa to hit a Sidewalk Slam then he tags his partner, Zenitsu, who runs to the ropes and hits a Sliding Clothesline in the middle of the ring as he quickly pins Nagisa only for a 1 count. Nagisa unknowingly crawls himself, hanging into the middle rope as Zenitsu bounces to the ropes to hit a Seated Senton over the neck of Nagisa Shiota. Zenitsu then landed outside as he climbs up to the apron where Nagisa is trying to stand and hits a punch to the face, stunning the blue-haired boy momentarily.

Zenitsu tries to give more punishment to Nagisa but Karma called out the blonde individual, who looked at him straight in the face as Nagisa takes advantage when Zenitsu went back at Nagisa, hitting a High Knee Strike to the face, making the momentum shift in a second.

"And will you look at that? The emotions can be used as an easy distraction, especially to this team of Kamado and Agamatsu. Both Shiota and Akabane utilize their crafty skills to their advantage." Corey said.

Nagisa then enters the ring as he tags Karma in, with the latter climbing to the second rope as he saw Zenitsu hanging on the middle rope and hits a Knee Drop from the second rope, sending Zenitsu back in the ring and standing up on his own but was down again, courtesy of Karma's Big Boot. The crowd begins to boo Karma, who gestures his head over Tanjiro, attempting to provoke his emotions as Karma goes for the cover but Zenitsu kicks out at 2.

"A tit for tat from these teams with their offense from the second rope. But in the end, these assassins conquered and Karma begins to use the mind games over their adversary." Excalibur said as Karma grounds Zenitsu with Leg Scissors, wrapping around the gut then adding it up with a Front Facelock. "And now, Karma with his unique submission applied to Zenitsu…"

"This is where the assassins are good at – being methodical and using mind games, they are trying to decimate their opponents and punish them at a slow pace. It leads to their opposition, especially Tanjiro, provoked and wanted to make a tag." Corey observed the current situation in the ring.

"But from that position, I think Zenitsu will deal a big amount of pain with this hold that he is facing right now," Shun added.

The submission continues to suffer Zenitsu as Tanjiro begins to clap, signaling for the crowd to rally behind them. Zenitsu begins to crawl and move towards the nearest rope, unknowingly holding the rope as the referee begins to count Karma to let go as he obliged. But from behind, Nagisa took advantage of the situation as he climbs up to the second rope to send Zenitsu into another submission with the Tarantula applied on the ropes.

"Oh, come on! They are taking advantage of the distraction!" Shun exclaimed.

"That is called teamwork, Kaido! Learn to understand the rules of the ring!" Corey responded.

Nagisa releases the hold as he enters the ring to take out Tanjiro off the apron with a punch, causing the crowd to boo from their actions. The referee then scolds Nagisa to go back at his corner as he complied while Karma mounts on Zenitsu with multiple punches, making the crowd's jeers louder. Then, Karma lifts Zenitsu and sends him to the top turnbuckle as he gives him an uppercut that sends his head into oblivion, figuratively.

"Karma got him good from the top there and this next move could earn them a ticket in this tournament," Corey said.

Karma attempts a Superplex but somehow, Zenitsu fights back with a punch that stuns Karma momentarily but counters back with his own punch. However, Zenitsu used his head to take down Karma with several headbutts as Karma falls down on the canvas. Zenitsu pops up a Tornado DDT to Karma, spiking on his head, creating a separation from both competitors.

"Tornado DDT! It adds up to the effects of the headbutt from Zenitsu!" Excalibur exclaimed.

"Zenitsu better make a tag to his partner now because he's going to need it!" Shun added.

"But there is no sign of Tanjiro!" Corey replied.

With Corey saying that, Zenitsu also notices it as well as Karma tags Nagisa in, eyeing for Zenitsu and makes a run for to the other corner but Zenitsu saw him coming as he leapfrogs over Nagisa, who hits the ring post until Zenitsu rolls Nagisa up with a Sunset Flip pin.

Nagisa kicks out. Both men stood up in unison as Nagisa tries to take him down but was caught by Zenitsu's Elevated Reverse STO, both men are down again as the crowd applauded for their performance.

"And now both oppositions are down and out, this could be the opening for Zenitsu for a tag," Excalibur said as he saw Zenitsu's partner getting backed up on the apron, extending his arms for a tag. "And there he is!"

"And on the other side of the ring, Nagisa could not get a tag since Karma is still down outside!" Corey exclaimed.

Zenitsu then finally tags Tanjiro in as he looks into Nagisa with rage. Nagisa looks back to meet with a few Clotheslines, follows with an Irish Whip but was countered by Nagisa, who sees Tanjiro stuck on the ropes but was a trap when he hits a Stun Gun against the ropes to Nagisa's face and follows up with a Scoop Slam as he covers Nagisa.

Nagisa kicks out as his shoulders went up. Tanjiro stands up afterward and shouts a battle cry as the crowd cheers before he climbs up to the top turnbuckle. But before he could do something high-risk, Karma stands up on the apron, trying to distract Tanjiro, who kicks him a few times to send Karma to the outside. All of a sudden, Zenitsu emerges on the apron as he jumps to the top rope and jumps off to the other side, hitting a Diving Crossbody onto Karma, sending the crowd in awe.

"Oh, my goodness! Did you see the hangtime from that dive of Zenitsu?!" Shun exclaimed.

"I-I see it. I have no idea that they can fly like a hawk!" Corey answered.

"And Tanjiro is still on the top and I think he got distracted from that dive outside…" Excalibur said.

Tanjiro continued his intentions as he dives off the top with a Diving Headbutt but Nagisa moves out of the way and Tanjiro lands on no one, hitting his face in the process. Nagisa then takes advantage and rolls his body in an Oklahoma Roll.

Tanjiro kicks out as Nagisa was surprised to learn about the kickout. He then stands on the corner to tune up the band, causing the crowd to boo over him. Nagisa prepares for the move as Tanjiro stands up and attempts a Superkick but was caught by the hands of Tanjiro, who shook his hands intensely as the crowd roared with cheers. Then, Tanjiro headbutts Nagisa, who got rocked by the head as he follows up with a Striking Tide (Ripcord Headbutt) that sends Nagisa down flat in the canvas.

"There's the deadly headbutt from Tanjiro, he crawls for a pin attempt!" Excalibur exclaimed.

Nagisa kicks out again to the shock of the crowd and Tanjiro.

"He just kicked out of the headbutts! He just survived them!" Shun exclaimed. "What is this dude's head made of?!"

"And speaking of the head, Nagisa's head got busted open by the headbutts! My god!" Corey added.

"THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME!" The crowd begins to chant.

Tanjiro then tags to the emerging Zenitsu on the apron as he enters the ring and helps Tanjiro whip Nagisa to the ropes, lifting the bloody Nagisa up in the air to attempt a double team maneuver but Karma enters the fray and catches Nagisa on the way down. They look back to see Karma, saving his teammate as Tanjiro tries to chase Karma, who low-bridges the rope and sends him down outside.

Zenitsu also tries to run over Karma, who ducks as Zenitsu bounces to the ropes and hits a Scoop Powerslam that sends Zenitsu in pain.

"What a save by Karma!" Corey exclaimed.

"But he is not the legal man in the match!" Shun replied.

Karma then pulls Nagisa on their corner to tag himself in the match as he taunts over the crowd, who reacted badly on the delinquent. Karma stomps over the defenseless Zenitsu a few times until he executes his Instant Karma (Omoplata Crossface) submission onto the blonde competitor as the latter struggles to breathe and to move. Tanjiro suddenly enters the ring but was stopped by Nagisa, who hits a Superkick for his attempt that sends him rolling outside, garnering more heat on them. Eventually, Karma told Nagisa to put an end to this as the blue-haired boy nodded and went behind as he executes a Boston Crab on the legs and lower back of Zenitsu.

"Oh, wow! What a double team but with submissions in effect! A Boston Crab and it seems the Instant Karma submission!" Excalibur exclaimed as Zenitsu struggles more that he had no choice but to tap.

"That's it! He has no chance of surviving that!" Corey added. The bell rang eventually as the theme of the victors was played to the chorus of boos and awes.

"Here are your winners – Nagisa Shiota and Karma Akabane!" Mai Sakurajima announced the victors as the team of Shiota and Akabane instantly rolls out once they saw Tanjiro making his way back slowly to the ring, then instead raised their arms themselves in victory.

"What a display of skills and effort from Tanjiro and Zenitsu! But in the end, it was the assassins, who eliminated them in this tag team tournament." Corey said.

"But what a brutal submission by the two! That was ruthless at another level!" Shun exclaimed.

"That was their Assassination Time (Boston Crab/Omoplata Crossface) double-team by Karma Akabane and Nagisa Shiota, who advances to the Semi-Finals of the Tag Team Turbulence Tournament!" Excalibur added. "But still to come here tonight, our main event – the team of Class 1-A: Shoto Todoroki, Katsuki Bakugo, and the AVW World Champion, Izuku Midoriya will collide with the SOS Brigade in a Six-Man Tag Team Match. And that match is up next!"

The camera pans over to the victors, in which Nagisa wipes off any excess blood from his forehead while they were celebrating alone themselves despite the audience booing them. The screen ends when Tanjiro looks up to the hurt Zenitsu as Tanjiro looked at their opponents with ire.

Backstage Area

"What a night it has been for Elevation! But let's not forget the main event of the night, so let's welcome Class 1-A, featuring the AVW World Champion – Izuku Midoriya!" Visha announced as the crowd cheered for the arrival of the trio. "So, any strategies or plans to take out the SOS Brigade?"

"Oh, we'll have a plan, alright! But let's keep it simple, take down the brigade and send them to the exit gate! And that was a rhyme, isn't it?" Katsuki spoke for their team, causing the audience to laugh at the unexpected answer and for Visha to nod. Shoto then signals Visha to send the microphone to him.

"Whatever that lousy girl of that group was saying to our champion, it's definitely untrue and she is totally disrespecting the champion! If she disrespects Izuku, then she disrespects us as well! So, the plan is to shut down any critics that are making a nonsense judgment! That includes the obnoxious Haruhi Suzumiya herself!" Shoto exclaimed with confidence and pride, pounding his chest hardly.

Visha tries to make an audible with the champion, who happily accepts the microphone.

"You know what they say 'you reap what you sow', which basically means if she's calling us waste, then she should be the trash in the end. We will raise the flag and we will take down the brigade's flag, so we can send them packing and the New Yorkers, a kick-ass ending!" Izuku answered this time as the crowd cheered for the champion.

("New Rockers" by Jim Johnston) played in the background as the trio signals this as their entrance.

"Well, the time's up, so is the SOS Brigade. Because our time is now." Izuku sends an extra message to their opponents before they left Visha alone with a nod.

Match #5: Six-Man Tag Team Match: Katsuki Bakugo, Shoto Todoroki, & AVW World Champion Izuku Midoriya vs. SOS Brigade (Kyon, Yato & Yukine)

"This match is a Six-Man Tag Team Match, and it is set for one fall with a time limit of 30 minutes. Approaching from the ring, they are the team of Shoto Todoroki, Katuski Bakugo, and the AVW World Champion – Izuku Midoriya!" Mai Sakurajima announced as the Class 1-A trio made a sprint towards the ring, sliding underneath the bottom rope, causing the fans to cheer the trio. Plus, both Bakugo and Todoroki jumped from the second rope to backflip to gain more cheers from the audience while the champion stood from the second rope to raise his championship belt.

"Looks like these three gentlemen are ready to compete and are also ready to take out the trash, like what they said," Excalibur said.

"We've never seen the opposition's talent and their capabilities, so if you would ask me, I would observer their actions to justify the situation," Corey replied.

"From the looks of their verbal capabilities, they are undoubtedly are underestimating the 1-A class! It seems that these guys are looking to shut them up!" Shun exclaimed.

The trio of Class 1-A is waiting for their opponents to show up as Izuku told the referee to keep the title to the timekeeper's area, which was obliged by the latter. The music suddenly stopped as the lights from the arena diminish slightly.

("Falling Down" by Oasis) was played in the arena as the crowd react to boos when the quartet of individuals came to the entrance ramp with Haruhi Suzumiya, leading the charge while the lights from the ramp were flashing at a hasty pace.

"And their opponents, being accompanied by Haruhi Suzumiya, the team of Yato, Yukine, and Kyon – SOS Brigade!" Mai Sakurajima then announced as the crowd's dissatisfaction became louder once they got inside of the ring.

"The SOS Brigade or Speak Out To The Flaws of Wrestling Society Brigade looks to make an emphatic statement and to make the people hear their voice if they beat the Class 1-A," Excalibur said. "And we have just received word from our General Manager that on next week, the team of Yato and Yukine will take on the team of Arataka Reigen and Shigeo Kageyama as the Tag Team Turbulence Tournament continues!

"Big news, especially for the brigade. But first, they must fulfill their proposition…" Corey added. "And that is to get rid of the waste and they are looking to make their proposal a cruel reality."

"Calling them wastes is a bit ridiculous if you ask me. If they are trying to make a statement here at AVW, they should have gone to a better plan." Shun replied to Corey.

Haruhi then told the trio to hold out their gestures, where both Yato and Yukine made a gesture of the letter S and between them was Kyon, who provided the letter O in the middle, while Haruhi was beside them, applauding for their effort.

Meanwhile, Class 1-A began to plan out who will start the match while the brigade automatically brings out Yukine to the canvas as his colleagues exited from the ring to the apron while Haruhi went outside to look out for the match; also, the Class 1-A went for the same thing as Katsuki Bakugo will represent the trio. The referee then signals the timekeeper to ring the bell as it chimed quickly.

Both Katsuki and Yukine circled around the ring for a while until they tied themselves up but Yukine grabs Katsuki's waist as Katsuki attempts to attack him with his Elbow but Yukine ducked and send themselves to an isolated corner. Yukine begins to take cover Katsuki as he tackles his midsection continuously before the referee could budge in to warn Yukine until the count makes it to five that he stop his tackle galore by raising his hands in the air.

Suddenly, Yukine attempts to retake the tackle to Bakugo, who blocks the attack with a boot as he sends him to the same corner to send him into pain with a few Knife Edge Chops as the brigade cringed at the assault.

"Gosh, those chops looked so painful. It's like a welcoming initiation to him." Shun said. Katsuki then whips Yukine to the ropes but was countered with one of his own as Katsuki sends himself to the ropes to hit a Hurricanrana on Yukine, which was followed by a Dropkick from Katsuki, earning cheers from the crowd. Katsuki then gestures to his corner to decide if they want to see a tag, which they approved as Katsuki tags Shoto Todoroki.

Both Katsuki and Shoto saw Yukine standing up as Katsuki sweeps the leg of the opponent, to which Shoto responds with a run to the ropes to hit a Splash, resulting in Yukine sitting up in pain but was surprised with a Shoot Kick from Katsuki then ends the tag team action with an Elbow Drop from Shoto, who covers immediately but Yukine quickly kicks out at 2.

"What an array of fast-paced moves from both Shoto Todoroki and Katsuki Bakugo!" Excalibur exclaimed.

"You cannot deny the speed and the cooperation from Class 1-A but that wasn't enough to take the SOS Brigade down!" Corey replied while Haruhi, on the outside, shouted from the kickout.

Shoto picks up Yukine and whips him into the corner as Shoto also ran to the other side, but all of a sudden, Haruhi jumps to the apron as the referee reprimands her. Because of this, Kyon takes advantage to kick the back of Shoto, causing him to clutch his back as Haruhi raises her hands and jumps down while Shoto's teammates complain about the lack of awareness from the referee. Yukine then hits a Lariat to take Shoto down in the canvas as the former tags Yato as they whip Shoto to the ropes, directly hitting a Double Back Elbows to their opponent, plus, they hi-fived each other and drops another round of elbows to the chest as Yato covers Shoto.

Shoto kicks out of the pin as Yato took a breather while Haruhi was cheering for her team.

"Almost took out with those elbows but Shoto kicks out," Corey said.

"It's a tit for tat, an exchange of fast-paced moves between the teams," Shun added.

Yato drags Shoto through their corner as he tags Kyon, who squeezes the face of Shoto until the referee counts him to five as he stopped but he surprises Shoto with a hard kick to the face, causing the crowd to boo. Kyon then picks up Shoto to hit a Vertical Suplex in the middle of the ring but did not go for the cover as he ran to the ropes to hit a Big Boot on Shoto. Then he automatically traps Shoto in a Side Headlock submission as both Izuku and Katsuki begin to clap to capture the support of their team to Shoto, who tries to make his way to the nearest rope but was stopped by Kyon's knee to his gut, a few times.

"Shoto seemingly trying to escape the hold from the big arms of Kyon but the comeback was stopped by the knees to the gut," Excalibur said.

Somehow, Shoto has the will to fight when he strikes the gut of Kyon with his several elbow shots as Shoto manages to escape the hold and runs to the ropes but was caught by a Lariat by Kyon, sending him down again. Kyon, who holds his stomach, tags Yukine, who tags Yato in, where Kyon knelt on one knee as both Yato and Yukine whips Shoto to the ropes and sends him flying with a Double Hip Toss, landing on the knee of Kyon, sending Shoto squirming in pain. Yato tries to cover Shoto.

Shoto kicks out! This causes Class 1-A to continue clapping, alongside the fans; while Haruhi is displeased with the current situation.

"A Double Hip Toss and Backbreaker Combination wouldn't put down Shoto just like that!" Excalibur exclaimed.

"But you can't deny the teamwork of the brigade!" Corey replied.

As frustration begins to set in, Yato decides to take things to a higher level as he sets Shoto up on the top turnbuckle, soon followed by Yato, who tries to attempt a Superplex as he prepares for the impact. However, Shoto has the energy to block the attempt as Yato tries to perform again but it was not effective. Shoto then headbutts Yato twice and that sends him down to the canvas as he stands on the top to drop himself onto Yato with a Meteora, where both men are down.

"Shoto drops himself with his knees but that has to hurt him in the process. Can he make it back to his corner for a tag?" Shun asked as they saw the two men in the ring, crawling towards for a tag.

But all of a sudden, Kyon enters the ring to hit Katsuki with his Big Boot, sending him down to the floor and causing the crowd to react negatively over his actions as the referee scolds him to get back. Because of this, Shoto's partner, Izuku, tries to extend his hand over him; unfortunately, Yato makes the tag to Kyon, who rushes towards Shoto as he picks him up for a Back Suplex attempt but Shoto lands on his feet and lands a Gamengiri kick to Kyon, who staggers on his feet while Shoto runs to the ropes and runs to Kyon with a Tornado DDT, spiking his head on the canvas with both men flattened.

"Oh, no! Their plan might have backfired with this surprise moves from Todoroki!" Corey exclaimed.

"A Tornado DDT was planted to Kyon's head and maybe Shoto can have a chance to take a breather after taking punishment from the brigade!" Excalibur added.

The crowd started to clap when Izuku begins to orchestrate the beat as Shoto and Kyon begins to move, crawling over to their corner while Haruhi shouts to his team to make the tag quick. Coincidentally, both Kyon and Shoto tag Yukine and Izuku respectively as they entered the ring with a loud reaction from the audience.

Izuku takes down his opponent with Thesz Press, grounding and pounding shots to the defenseless Yukine. Izuku picks up his shoulder to whip on the ropes but was countered by Yukine, who was the recipient of a Leaping Clothesline, taking Yukine down in the canvas.

"Uh-oh! Here comes the champion, rolling out his best shot to Yukine!" Shun exclaimed.

Out of nowhere, Yato enters the ring to attack Izuku, who immediately sends to the other side of the ring but Yato lands on the apron. Izuku makes his way to Yato but was outsmarted with a punch to the face to Izuku, who instantly climbs up to the second rope to hit a Triangle Dropkick to Yato, finally sends to the floor. When he looks back, Yukine attempts to hit a strike but Izuku instinctively counters with a Swinging Neckbreaker and pins Yukine for a cover.

Yukine kicks out.

"With a flurry of offense from the champion, Yukine still has enough energy to kick out!" Corey exclaimed.

Izuku went on to climb to the top but Yato grabs the leg of Izuku to distract him as Yukine climbs to the middle turnbuckle to attack Izuku with clubs to the back before Yato tags himself from Yukine. Yato made his way to the other side of the ring to climb then Yukine climbs up to the top as he hits a Superplex to the canvas, followed by a Splash from Yato to pin Izuku.

Katsuki decides to break the pin, saving the match. Their opposition wasn't happy about the break as they focused on Katsuki to gang up to him with punches and clubs to his body.

"Katsuki was able to save the match-up but he is currently attacked by Yato and Yukine for his efforts," Excalibur said.

"It's a wise move but it comes with a repercussion!" Shun exclaimed.

After they notice that Katsuki did not budge to any of their attacks, Yato once again climbs up to the top while Yukine lifts Katsuki as they both delivered a Spike Piledriver, planting his head on the canvas, causing to gain boos from the crowd. The referee then scolds Yukine to get out of the ring; meanwhile, Haruhi signals Kyon to enter the ring to end Izuku, who is currently standing up as he grabs the throat of the champion and hits a Sitout Chokeslam in the canvas. Yukine signals this as his end of the cue as Yato makes his way to cover Izuku.

Izuku instinctively kicks out of the move, surprising the whole brigade.

"Oh! The world champion kicks out of the Chokeslam from Kyon!" Excalibur cried.

"I can't believe it! The SOS Brigade is being creative of their ways, a minute ago but somehow Midoriya kicks out!" Corey replied.

"Their plan backfired, Corey! Izuku knew it." Shun responded to Corey, who decides to ignore the comment.

Yato sees Yukine going back to their corner as he attempts to tag but all of a sudden, Izuku pulls Yato's collar but the latter saw it coming as he hits Lariat but Izuku ducks and went on to superkick Yato on his face. Haruhi suddenly climbs up to the apron to distract the referee where Yukine picks up a chair and enters the ring but all of a sudden, Katsuki enters the ring to surprise Yukine with a Tiger Feint Kick, sending him down and the chair. Kyon, on the outside, then came along to pick up Katsuki in an Electric Chair position but Katsuki counters it with a Headscissors, sending Kyon over to the ring post. Shoto runs from the apron to hit a Meteora on Kyon. However, Kyon was able to stand up despite getting hit by a few moves as Izuku sees this as he runs to the other side and went flying on Kyon with a Tope con Hilo, in which Izuku lands on his feet and cries to the crowd with satisfaction.

"Tope con Hilo finally takes out Kyon and the crowd goes wild for the 1-A!" Excalibur said.

"But he has to get back to the ring, there is no time for celebration for him!" Corey exclaimed.

With that being said, Izuku climbs up to the apron as he saw Yato stagger and hops to the top rope to deliver a springboard move but Izuku rolled through after Yato ducks underneath. Yato bounces to the ropes and hits a vicious Lariat, turning the champion inside and out.

"Wow! What a wicked shot by Yato! But can he get the win for their team?" Shun said.

Izuku kicks out, much to the dissatisfaction of the brigade and to the cheers of the audience.

"That's 2.99999 or how much nine is it, Izuku still kicks out!" Excalibur exclaimed.

Yato begins to frustrate over as he taunts the crowd, who boos immediately to wait for Izuku to get up as Yato runs towards Izuku, who sidesteps and sends Yato to the post. Izuku sensed that his brethren are up from the apron as he tags Katsuki, who then tags Shoto as they entered the ring and sees Yato clutching his shoulder as they hit a Double Roundhouse Kick, knocking Yato out on the canvas. Shoto then tags Izuku back as he climbs up to the top, causing the crowd to roar with excitement as he hits a 450 Splash to Yato and covers him.

The bell rang in succession as Izuku's theme played and the crowd happily reacts to the victory of 1-A.

"Here are your winners, the team of Shoto Todoroki, Katsuki Bakugo, and the AVW World Champion, Izuku Midoriya!" Mai Sakurajima announced as the referee raises the shoulder of Izuku and Shoto, who held the shoulder of Katsuki, they all celebrate in victory while Yato rolls out of the ring.

"What an impressive victory for the team of 1-A! The crowd is on their feet as the victory belongs to them!" Excalibur exclaimed.

Suddenly, the voice of Haruhi interrupts the celebration as the crowd boo when Haruhi held out a microphone where her members are hurt and standing on the entrance ramp.

"Excuse me! Just because you won this one, it means it's over! But breaking news, it's not!" Haruhi cried as the crowd booed loudly to the speaker of the brigade. "You never pinned the big man, you never pinned Kyon! Do you know what that means? Kyon will challenge you, Izuku Midoriya, one-on-one for the AVW World Championship! You better be prepared because, in two weeks, your reign will be over!" The crowd booed more as the brigade walks out while the 1-A decides to continue the celebration soon as their opposition walks out.

"Well, it's not over for the 1-A, especially for Izuku and possibly, we can have an official announcement about this proposition as soon as possible from our General Manager!" Excalibur exclaimed.

"The good thing here is that Izuku has two weeks to prepare for this. I know it will happen but he better be ready." Corey added.

"But what a historical night for AVW! We just capped off a successful debut episode of Elevation! More things to come here and be sure to check us out next week!" Shun added.

"Kaido is right! AVW Elevation will be back next week as we take a further look at the celebration of Class 1-A in the ring!" Excalibur added. "Excalibur here, Corey Graves and Shun Kaido, the commentators thanks you for watching! And we will see you next week! Goodnight, everyone!"

The camera then focuses on the ring where the trio of Katsuki, Izuku, and Shoto stood on the turnbuckles to celebrate with the fans as the show ends there.
