AVW Elevation: Episode 3 - February's Avalanche Slam (February 8, 2022)
("Broken World" by Alex Norre) played in the intro as the entrance way and the ramp lit up with pyro and fireworks in a rhythmic banner with the follow-up of wild cheers from the crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen, another night of greatness in wrestling and we're here at the Entertainment & Sports Arena in our nation's capital - Washington, D.C.! I'm sitting here on the commentary with yours truly, Excalibur, alongside with my fellow colleagues, Corey Graves and Shun Kaido!" The masked commentator introduced himself and his team to the camera, who made their presence known by their known gestures. "Gentlemen, it's our first TV special in Anime Valley Wrestling, can you feel the excitement tonight?"
"Oh, heck yeah, I am excited alright with our upcoming matches for tonight, who wouldn't be get hyped?" Shun replied first.
"That is correct. With the first AVW World Championship defense, the continuation of Tag Team Turbulence Tournament, and the crowning of our first ever AVW Women's World Champion, that list speaks to itself." Corey replied next.
("Blood / Water" by grandson) begins to play in the arena as Tanjiro Kamado knelt on the ramp and stood up to scream a battle cry as he punched his fists with the steel ramp and raised them in the air to a positive reaction.
"The following opening contest is a Falls Count Anywhere match, set for one fall! Introducing first, Tanjiro Ka-" Mai Sakurajima was beginning to call the name of the first competitor but was interrupted when Nagisa Shiota attacked Tanjiro from behind, sending the man with a scar to the floor, garnering boos from the crowd in an instant.
"It looks like Nagisa could not wait also tonight to take down Tanjiro!" Excalibur exclaimed. As soon as the commentator uttered the last word, the referee decided to ring the bell and soon made his way outside to the opponents, who were battering with fists to one another. "And the referee has no choice but to begin the match."
"We are kicking this Falls Count Anywhere Match hastily with these two, without concern, hammering away with each other," Corey added.
The beating continues until they made their way nearby the apron, where Nagisa attempts to slam Tanjiro's head to the hardest part of the ring but the latter was able to hang on as Tanjiro also attempts to do the same thing to Nagisa but to no avail.
Tanjiro uncorks a punch to Nagisa and then attempts to whip him to the nearest barricade but Nagisa stopped himself from bumping into it as Tanjiro tries to run over Nagisa, who manages to dodge the upcoming attack and sends him to the other side of the barricade with the blue-haired individual taking a breather. After a few seconds, Nagisa took a quick look behind as Tanjiro jumps off the barricade with a Crossbody, sending Nagisa down as Tanjiro called the referee to count.

Nagisa kicks out hurriedly.
"First pin attempt didn't go planned as Nagisa kicks out at 1," Shun said.
Tanjiro picks up Nagisa and sends his body to the barricade a few times with Shoulder Tackles until he made it to the fifth tackle. Tanjiro then sends Nagisa inside of the ring and Tanjiro opens the banner under the ring to pick up something, turning out to be a steel chair to the coos of the crowd.
"Their feud has been boiling since Winter Warfare after Nagisa eliminated Tanjiro with a roll-up and Tanjiro has been since infuriated with this and could not wait on getting his hands to the one who took his opportunity of becoming a champion!" Excalibur stated. Tanjiro then rolls inside of the ring to find Nagisa rolling outside, earning boos from the Washington crowd.
"You see, Tanjiro can slip this since Nagisa outsmarted him that night, he should just move on. Then, the tension between sides begins to grow after that and yet, Tanjiro still has to defeat Nagisa in a singles match." Corey said. As Tanjiro walks off the ring and lands on the floor, Nagisa surprises him by throwing a chair to Tanjiro's face, stunning the fans.
"Mind games and timing is Nagisa's game here and I can't believe I'm saying this but he's good at it," Shun said. Nagisa then utilizes the chair as he hits Tanjiro with the chair on the back twice. Nagisa puts aside the chair and picks up the chair that Tanjiro brought and uses it to plant Tanjiro with a Back Suplex and went to pin him.

Tanjiro kicks out.
"That Belly-to-Back must have hurt the back of Tanjiro but the damage could continue as the match progresses," Corey said.
"WE WANT TABLES! WE WANT TABLES!" The crowd starts to chant for the hardware to appear as Nagisa went under to find a table to the loud reaction of the Washington fans but Nagisa decides to send it back, with his fingers wagging, telling them that they do not deserve any tables for them.
"Well, the crowd went sour after he sends back the table. And instead… he picks up many chairs from that section." Excalibur said. The camera pans on Nagisa picking up new chairs that he sent and begins to set the hardware in place.
Nagisa arranges eight chairs in a horizontal alignment, creating a musical chair position and he was satisfied with his work.
"A musical chair, how genius Nagisa Shiota is? He's not just good at mind games, he's good at engineering skills!" Corey commented on Nagisa's ability to build simple structures.
"The chairs are not good for games like this, it's not going to sound good once a body has to go through that," Shun added.
Once Nagisa sees Tanjiro standing, he made his way there to add more damage with a few Knife Edge Chops to the chest and a punch for good measure and he sends Tanjiro to the barricade, chest first. Nagisa taunted the crowd, who sends their dislike to the teen.
"Washington D.C. sends their displeasure to Nagisa and unfortunately, he has the momentum of the match," Excalibur said.
Tanjiro begins to stand up but was staggering to his feet and was holding the barricade tightly. Nagisa hits another punch to the face and looks to the chairs, thinking of something dangerous.
"Uh-oh! I don't like the look of Nagisa right now, guys." Shun said, observing the smirk of the blue-haired boy, who attempts an Irish Whip to the chairs but Tanjiro senses danger as he used his weight to avoid any contact with the chairs.
Nagisa was surprised that he was still unconscious as he pulls Tanjiro and attacks his back with clubbing forearms until he felt that he is out. When he sees that Tanjiro is out, Nagisa tries to whip Tanjiro with force, but surprisingly, Tanjiro counters the whip with his own and sends Nagisa to the chairs, causing the crowd to go wild as Nagisa squirms and screams in pain as he clutches his back.
"HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!" The crowd began to chant optimistically.
"Oh, my goodness! That musical chair just made Nagisa the worst organizer as the chairs must have been disheveled by the impact of that Irish Whip!" Excalibur exclaimed. "And Tanjiro makes the cover…"

Nagisa instinctively kicks out as Tanjiro wasted no time finding weapons under the ring. The one item that stuck out to him was a table as he picks the hardware to the approval of the audience.
"Tanjiro heard the people and brings the table to them, or in this case, to Nagisa!" Shun exclaimed.
Tanjiro then sets up the table and gets rid of the broken chairs as he roared with confidence to the fans. He then picks up Nagisa to hit a Vertical Suplex to the floor as he did not go for the cover, instead, he picks up Nagisa and sends him laying on his back at the table.
"Nagisa is in big, big trouble, not knowing he is on a table and he is getting served by Tanjiro!" Corey said.
Tanjiro looked at the fans and gestured to the top turnbuckles as the crowd says yes and he obliged the request. He begins to climb up to the apron and then to the top turnbuckle and looks at the crowd one more time, howling loudly as he jumps off to the outside with a Diving Headbutt. But for some reason, Nagisa escapes by pulling the leg of his, causing Tanjiro to crash to the table, chest first, causing the crowd to go in awe.
"Oh, my God! Tanjiro nobody home with that crash landing on the table! And someone just pulled him out of the table!" Shun exclaimed. When the camera turns the attention to Nagisa, it was revealed that Karma Akabane, aided Nagisa from being squashed, earning boos from the fans.
"That's Karma! His partner-in-crime and he just saved Nagisa from being crushed through that table!" Excalibur said. Karma then wakes Nagisa up and told him to pin Tanjiro, who was unconscious at the crash site and proceeds to cover him.

Tanjiro instinctively kicks out, much to the surprise of Nagisa.
"Tanjiro was able to move after that hard fall off the top and maybe a few seconds off, Nagisa might be able to defeat him," Corey said.
The duo of Nagisa and Karma begins to stomp the prone back of Tanjiro continuously, much to the chagrin of the crowd. The pair then picks up Tanjiro and lifts him up, hitting a Double Team Vertical Suplex to the steel ramp, causing for Tanjiro to arch his back in pain.
"Double team by both Karma and Nagisa to the steel ramp goes Tanjiro! If this goes in their path, Nagisa will prevail. But it seems they have the time to pose, in front of the crowd here." Excalibur said. The duo taunted the nearest fans the jeers of them.
All of a sudden, their jeers turned into cheers as when they looked behind, they were crashed to the floor by a flying Zenitsu, who take them out with a Diving Crossbody off the top, sending the audience into satisfaction.
"Out of nowhere, Zenitsu just took a high-risk move and falls down onto the Assassins!" Shun exclaimed.
Zenitsu looks over Tanjiro, who said that he was fine. Then, Zenitsu made his way back to the ringside area, where he picked up a chair from the debris. The blonde warrior whacks the back of Nagisa, a few times, where he could move on fours. He directly moves his attention to Karma as he hits a nasty chair shot to the head, sending the redhead over the barricade.
"Oh, my god! That chair shot looked like the rage that he had pent up for the last several weeks!" Corey exclaimed while the crowd begins to chant "Holy Shit" a few times. Meanwhile, Tanjiro crawls for a pin attempt with his arm over the body of Nagisa.

Nagisa's shoulder was up just in time before the three. Tanjiro begins to show his frustration.
"It's 2.75 for Tanjiro but emotions starting to play a factor here in this match," Excalibur said.
Tanjiro picks up a struggling Nagisa and sends him rolling to the floor towards the entranceway. He rattles Nagisa with a hard fist to the side of the head until he crawls towards the tron while the commentary watches their every action from now on.
"It seems to be that we're on a verge of an all-out battle between these two hard-headed talents," Corey said.
Tanjiro picks up the head of Nagisa and attempts to slam his face to the tron but the latter blocks the attempt as Nagisa slams Tanjiro's face instead to the tron, causing Tanjiro to be in a dazed state. Nagisa prepares himself to hit a Superkick but Tanjiro caught the foot as he counters it with Striking Tide (Ripcord Headbutt) but Nagisa ducks under and hit a Superkick to the chin of Tanjiro as he calls for the referee to count with both legs hooked.

Tanjiro kicks out as the crowd begins to applaud and chant Tanjiro's name, but Nagisa was not having it as he was having a tantrum and he asked the referee but answered with a two.
"Nagisa with a Superkick to Tanjiro but that wasn't enough to take down! I don't even know what to say about Tanjiro's resiliency." Excalibur said.
Nagisa walked out of the entranceway back to the gorilla position until he came back, bringing a ladder with him, earning coos from the crowd.
"Nagisa brought a ladder with him, now what's going through his mind right now?" Corey asked.
"Even at this point, if someone brings a ladder, you know it's not going to end well, most of the time," Shun replied.
Nagisa slams the ladder onto the back of Tanjiro, who tries to back up on his feet but he went on all fours. While Tanjiro is down, Nagisa went to the commentary booth, where the commentators began to fly off their chairs as he prepares to set the ladder beside the table.
"Looks like we're going to experience a crash landing right at the front seat, nonetheless, Kaido!" Corey said.
"Nagisa has something devious planned here, ladies and gentlemen!" Excalibur exclaimed.
Nagisa sights Tanjiro trying to stand up but the former waits for the latter to get up. Once Tanjiro was on his feet, Nagisa attempts to knock Tanjiro's head again with a Superkick, but Tanjiro ducked under the kick. Nagisa realizes that he missed the shot as he runs toward Tanjiro, who catches the leg as he sends Nagisa to the table with a Stun Gun then follows up with a Striking Tide (Ripcord Headbutt) to the face of Nagisa as this sends him unknowingly to the table.
"Striking Tide by Tanjiro and this should be it and… and he is not done yet!" Excalibur said in shock as he sees Tanjiro beginning to climb the ladder slowly.
"That should have done the job but Tanjiro decides to take things to the highest level!" Shun added.
Once Tanjiro stepped on the last rung and the top, he begins to look at the fans, who were calling his name as he attempts a move at a precarious position. But miraculously, Nagisa moved and sees the ladder and Tanjiro at the top as he climbs slowly towards his opponent.
"What in the- Nagisa is still moving and breathing despite all of the punishment that he suffered through tonight!" Corey said in exasperation. Nagisa fights back with a punch at a surprised Tanjiro, who fires back with a punch until Nagisa blocks Tanjiro's fist and dangerously readjusts himself and extends the arm of Tanjiro with an Armbar while hanging dearly for his life while Tanjiro screamed in pain.
"What the hell?! Nagisa with Juji Gatame on Tanjiro, while being in a dangerous position. But this is a submission and this is not going to count as a pinfall attempt though." Excalibur said.
"The defiant Nagisa, trying to tear apart the arm of Tanjiro, who is holding for his dear life!" Corey added.
Tanjiro begins to take shots at the gut of Nagisa, who kept the submission intact until the friction could not handle the hold anymore as Nagisa fell off the ladder to the table, which surprisingly did not break.
"The damage has been done to the arm but Tanjiro is still moving and soldiering on through punishment. And look, he's on the top of the ladder!" Shun said as they observe Tanjiro on the top of the ladder.
Tanjiro let out a war cry and drops himself to Nagisa to the table with a Diving Headbutt, breaking the commentary table instantly. The dive earned a "Holy Shit" chant once more.
"Are you kidding?! Diving Headbutt to the table and everyone is down and out!" Excalibur cried.
After a few seconds, Tanjiro began to move slowly and his good arm touch the body of an unconscious Nagisa as the referee begins to count.

The bell rang in succession as Tanjiro's theme played while the crowd applauded the performance of both warriors. While Zenitsu reappeared as he tries to consult Tanjiro.
"What an all-out battle between these two teams and all it came to a violent conclusion!" Corey exclaimed.
The referee and Zenitsu assisted Tanjiro meanwhile Nagisa was being attended to by the medical staff while the commentary was overwhelmed by the actions that occurred in front of them.
"Wow. I have never ever seen such physicality between men and tonight, I have seen it right in front of me." Shun admitted.
Meanwhile, Tanjiro somehow celebrated with a raised arm to the cheers of the fans while being nursed out by his friend and the referee.
"What a way to kick off February's Avalanche Slam! And it's only the opener and there are more matches ahead of us for tonight! We will be right back after these messages!" Excalibur said.
"Are you ready to write your own history?" A voice off-screen spoke.
"Yes." Several individuals answered in unison.
"Are you ready to be immortalized?"
"Yes."
"Are you ready for your Battle Chronicle?"
The superstars received a thick wooden book with the cover named "Battle Chronicle" and looks back at the camera with a serious look.
"YES! I AM READY!" The talent answered with confidence simultaneously.

WELLS FARGO CENTER - PHILADELPHIA, PA
BATTLE CHRONICLE
HISTORY WILL BE WRITTEN BY YOU.
Backstage Area
"Welcome back to Elevation! As of now, please let me introduce you to one of the women who would be competing in the Women's World Championship, Asuka Langley Soryu!" Ristarte introduced the first interviewee of the night.
The crowd began to boo the individual once she showed up with confidence on her face.
"Tonight, you will be facing Rin Tohsaka and the winner will be the first-ever Women's Champion. What are your plans and strategies for the match?" She asked.
"Oh, asking me tedious questions? How annoying. First, I don't share plans with you and these washed-up Washington fans here." Asuka answered, causing the fans to boo Asuka. "You know what happened last week, I got outsmarted by Rin Tohsaka and I'll admit, she's one step ahead of me but that was in the past. And for tonight, I'll be the one who's going to outsmart you and be ready, because you're not ready for me for what I'm gonna do to you. You are not prepared for me, you are not ready for Asuka."
Her smirk sends the crowd into boos, leaving her alone with Ristarte in interest.
"Wow. Looks like Asuka is definitely ready for her match tonight and I couldn't wait for her to be the inaugural Women's World Champion!" Corey exclaimed.
("When I Grow Up" by Mayday Parade) played in the arena as the crowd began to boo the sole adventurer, who makes his entrance with an unimpressed look, not bothering to look at the environment.
"This is a singles match scheduled for one fall, with a time limit of 30 minutes. Introducing first, from the Kingdom of Belzerg, Kazuma Sato!" Mai Sakurajima announced as the adventurer climbs up to the top to taunt that he is getting rid of his adversary to the jeers from the crowd.
"This is the moment that Kazuma is waiting for as he is awaiting the entrance of the one who eliminated him back at Winter Warfare," Shun said. Kazuma drops off the top to do his pre-match ritual, stretching his arms while staring at the tron.
"He is always ready, Kaido. Let me elucidate that statement of yours." Corey replied.
("Down in Ashes" by Awake) was played in the background as the crowd cheered for the arrival of the Rimuru Tempest, who makes his presence known as he shares hands with the nearest fans.
"And his opponent, from the Jura Tempest Federation, Rimuru Tempest!" Mai Sakurajima announced.
"So far, the most exciting talent in the company, Rimuru Tempest, looks to gain a victory after losing to the very first Elevation match. In fact, interestingly, either one of them has never won any match from Winter Warfare!" Excalibur stated an interesting statistic to everyone. "It's anybody's game at this point."
"Good to know that, Excalibur. Because I feel like Kazuma has been using experience as a key since he has more matches than that androgynous individual over there." Corey said.
Rimuru enters the middle rope, raising his right palm, causing the sparklers on the ring post to run to the approval of the fans; meanwhile, Kazuma cracks his fingers one-by-one, as if he is ready to break limbs. With everyone involved are ready, the referee signals to ring the bell.
"Here we go, the match began and there is no room for error for these two competitors," Excalibur said.
The match starts with a tie-up but that did not happen as Rimuru tries to tie the hand of Kazuma, the latter surprises him with a kick continuously until Rimuru was in a corner. The referee scolds Kazuma for his actions as he raised his arms but turns out it was a ruse as he continues to stomp the body of Rimuru to the disapproval of the crowd.
"Beautiful trick by the adventurer, you'll never know what tricks are on his sleeve for tonight," Corey said.
Kazuma stood up Rimuru to whip him into the other corner but Rimuru floats off the upcoming and then rolls through to the center as Kazuma follows Rimuru, who dodges an attempt of Clothesline by Kazuma. Rimuru ran on the ropes as he sends Kazuma to the canvas with a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors then follows up with a Reverse Atomic Drop, sending the hips of Kazuma into pain. Rimuru quickly climbs up to the top as he attempts a Chaos Tempester (Eclipse) but Kazuma dodges and Rimuru rolls through once he landed.
Rimuru stood up as Kazuma picks him up, attempting for his Chunchunmaru (Samoan Driver) move but Rimuru fights him off with a few elbow shots to the side of the head as he escapes the carry. Rimuru tries a Jumping Back Kick but Kazuma is able to duck the kick as the latter picks up the leg and grabs the other to take him down, slingshots Rimuru to the outside but he lands on the apron. Kazuma follows him but was met with a forearm shot as Rimuru hops to the top rope to hit a Springboard move to no avail with Kazuma firing a palm strike to the face, causing Rimuru to fall on the apron face first, earning boos from the crowd.
"Hard spill by Rimuru and the referee starts to count the fallen outside!" Excalibur exclaimed. The referee begins to count while Kazuma taunts the crowd.
"Looks like Kazuma wants to gain a victory by count-out at this point," Corey added.
Rimuru slowly backs up to his feet as he rolls back to the ring at the count of five but was met by a Knee Drop by Kazuma, and another knee to the side of the head. Kazuma picks up Rimuru for a Vertical Suplex but the blue-haired specie blocks the attempt and turns it into a Small Package pin.

"Quick pinning predicament did not go effective for Rimuru… and Kazuma with a Dropkick to the face and goes for the cover…" Excalibur said as the referee begins to count.

Rimuru kicks out.
"Rimuru also kicking out of the pin, exchanging move after move!" Shun exclaimed.
A Side Headlock was applied by Kazuma to Rimuru as the hold was tightly shut, causing for Rimuru to squirm. The predicament began with the chants of Rimuru's name while the referee kept on looking at the expression of the victim.
"Headlock perfectly applied and keeping Rimuru grounded until he is out of breath," Corey said.
After a few seconds, Rimuru begins to stand, trying to make his way to the nearest rope as he hangs on to the top rope, causing the referee to count before Kazuma lets go of the hold. Meanwhile, Rimuru took his time to stand but he was met by a Lariat, turning him inside out.
"Wow! What a wicked Lariat by Kazuma, I don't know if Rimuru could get up from that!" Corey said in shock. The boos were ringing over the arena as Kazuma goes for a Lateral Press pin.

Rimuru kicks out of instinct, causing for Kazuma to argue with the referee but it was the final decision and shrugs it off immediately.
"Rimuru somehow finds a way to kick out or that was just a timely intuition by him," Excalibur said.
Kazuma decides to take things into high gear as he went to the top turnbuckle, waiting for Rimuru to get up. But unfortunately for Kazuma, Rimuru was able to hang himself on the ropes, causing the adventurer to slip and landed on his crotch, screaming in pain while the crowd cheered for the resurgence of Rimuru.
"That's got to hurt for Kazuma for tonight!" Shun said.
Rimuru begins to climb up to the top to follow a sitting Kazuma as he gave him multiple punches to the adventurer. When Kazuma was unresponsive, Rimuru surveys the ring behind then taunts the crowd that he will be doing something crazy as he went for a Hurricanrana off the top but somehow, Kazuma blocks the attempt and deadlifts the troubled Rimuru, who avenges him with a few punches as Kazuma attempts for a Top Rope Powerbomb but Rimuru reverses it into a Hurricanrana but Kazuma able to roll him into a Sunset Flip and was countered again with Rimuru, who rolled back to hit a Roundhouse Kick to the sitting Kazuma, both individual collapsing in the canvas then raising the members of the crowd with the sequence.
"Oh, my god! What a sequence from top to bottom but it was Rimuru, who ultimately has the last shot with a Roundhouse!" Excalibur cried. The referee then begins to count as both men are down.
"Reversals after another, they took out a page from their playbook even though this is their first match. But my god, what a turnaround of sequence that was!" Corey exclaimed, complimenting both athletes as the crowd begins to chant Rimuru and Kazuma's names.
"Look at this, they are now shouting their names!" Shun added.
Both of the stars began to crawl and look behind to meet their gaze as they knelt with Rimuru firing a forearm shot at Kazuma, who reciprocates the attack with his own forearm. They exchanged shots until they stood up but Kazuma surprises Rimuru with a Knee Lift to the gut as Kazuma ran to the ropes but he sees nothing as Rimuru followed his tracks as he Jumping Forearm Shot and another Forearm Shot, sending Kazuma down and Rimuru up with a kip-up, sending positive reactions from the crowd.
"Rimuru is all fired up here and takes Kazuma into a high-speed action with those forearms!" Excalibur exclaimed.
Rimuru picks up Kazuma as he whips him to the corner but was reversed by Kazuma as Rimuru got sent to the corner with Kazuma following him but was met by a boot of Rimuru, who leaves the ring and hops from the apron to the top rope and sends Kazuma down with him with a Springboard Crossbody as Rimuru pins Kazuma.

Kazuma kicks out.
"Crossbody off the top rope but Kazuma survives the predicament," Corey said.
"Something has to give between these two and Rimuru… maybe has a plan to get rid of Kazuma…" Shun said, observing Rimuru, who climbs up to the top turnbuckle as he prepares for his Chaos Tempester (Eclipse), but Kazuma was able to pick him up in a Fireman's Carry position, looking to hit his Chunchunmaru (Samoan Driver) move, but as soon as he drops Rimuru, who counters it with a Japanese Arm Drag to the surprise of the audience. Kazuma quickly stood up but Rimuru carried Kazuma, fireman's style but Kazuma fights back with elbows to the side of the head as Rimuru has no choice but to release him.
Rimuru turns around as he got hit by a Bicycle Knee to the face by Kazuma, sending him staggering to the center with his feet while Kazuma climbs up to the top.
"Pump Knee Strike by Kazuma and Kazuma looks to finish the match with something big here," Excalibur said.
Kazuma then taunts the crowd to a negative reaction as he sees Rimuru looking at him and drops himself but Rimuru raises a foot to hit a Superkick, but was caught by Kazuma's hands and turns him around to hit a German Suplex to the turnbuckles, garnering more boos to the crowd as Rimuru clutches his back of his head.
"Deja vu from last week but Kazuma saw it coming! But what a German Suplex by Kazuma, almost broke the head of Rimuru into that turnbuckle. Kazuma is preparing for the end here." Excalibur said.
Kazuma says it's the finish as he carries Rimuru on his shoulder, going for his finishing move but Rimuru counters it with a Reverse Hurricanrana, spiking the head of Kazuma to the mat.
"Oh, my god! Kazuma got spiked with that move and Rimuru is also looking for the end of the match and he is climbing up to the top turnbuckle." Shun said.
The crowd's reception begins to grow louder as it was the time to hit his finishing move as he hits the Chaos Tempester (Eclipse) move but Kazuma caught Rimuru mid-air with an Adventure Crusher (Cutter), knocking Rimuru down, causing the crowd to go wild.
"Adventure Crusher! Rimuru is down and this could mean one thing for Kazuma!" Corey exclaimed.
Kazuma gestures that this is the end as he quickly picks up Rimuru and carries him to hit a snap Chunchunmaru (Samoan Driver) as he hooks a leg to begin the count.

Rimuru kicks out, much to the shock of Kazuma and the crowd.
"Rimuru kicks out of a multitude of Kazuma's moves! Un-be-lievable!" Excalibur exclaimed.
"How? How?!" Corey reacted in shock as well.
"THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME!" The crowd began to chant.
Kazuma pounds to the mat in frustration as he taunts the crowd. After a few seconds, he turns his attention to Rimuru, who was still knocked out as he picks him up and told him to stay down, sending more trash talks to him and firing a big slap to the cheek, which made Rimuru open his eyes and surprises him with a Spinning Back Kick, sending Kazuma staggering but Rimuru was not done as he hits a Roundhouse Kick for good measure.
"Rimuru was playing possum all this time! And look, he's already climbing up to the top!" Shun exclaimed.
Rimuru climbs to the top as he cranks his head slowly and saw Kazuma regaining consciousness as he drops off to Kazuma, hitting Chaos Tempester (Eclipse), sending Kazuma bouncing to the mat with the crowd cheering for Rimuru, who went for the cover.

The bell rang in succession as the crowd loudly reacted happily when Rimuru's theme played.
"Here is your winner, Rimuru Tempest!" Mai Sakurajima announced the victor of the match. The referee then raised the arm of the winner, who held his neck.
"What a turn of events, literally and figuratively for Rimuru Tempest and Kazuma Sato!" Excalibur exclaimed.
"They went back and forth with counters and moves but in the end, Rimuru got the last laugh as he wins this match!" Corey added.
Rimuru stopped celebrating as he sees Kazuma crawling to the ropes but Rimuru shrugs as he picks up Kazuma and sends him outside of the ring to the cheers of the crowd and climbs up to the top to celebrate.
"Oh, come on, now! There's no need for that, Rimuru." Corey complained.
"Well, Corey, throwing Kazuma off the ring was the beginning of the story and appropriately, Rimuru closes the story with the same move," Shun said.
Rimuru raises his hand as the other ring posts exploded with sparklers while the crowd was celebrating also for the victory of the blue-haired individual.
General Manager's Office
The camera focused over the table of General Manager Kokomi Teruhashi, who was currently scribbling over her papers until she was interrupted by a knock from the closed door.
"Come in." The GM said as the door opened to reveal a tall, also blue-haired as the GM, who was striding with poise. She currently dons a violet sweatshirt and a black skirt. "Ah, good evening! Miss Ami Kawashima, I've been looking for you the whole night!"
The visitor, Ami, removed her glasses, looking irritated. "Finally! I've been looking for the best time and it seems that tonight is that time. So, any updates about my contract?"
"Oh, yes! I did consider your proposition and it has been added to your contract. If you're still in doubt, why not take a look at it if this fulfilled your expectations." The GM presented the contract to Ami, who picks it up to read the contents.
After a few seconds of skimming through the contract, she nodded and picks up a pen from the table to sign her name to the contract.
"Much, much better! In fact, it exceeded my expectations." Ami smiled in response. "Anyway, when will I start?"
"Since tonight is full and stacked with matches, why not bring your talk show - Ami Plus, next week? Then, your special guest will be, well, since the AVW Women's World Championship tonight will be the main event, I guess whoever is the champion will be your special guest next week!" The GM proposed, and Ami nodded, approving the proposal.
"Sounds good to me, Miss General Manager!" Ami answered then looks over at her watch. "I think my visit and the negotiation was a big success and now it leaves to the part, where I'll be leaving and preparing for my show next week."
"Well, see you around when I see you! Congratulations and welcome to AVW!" GM shook hands with her and then waved goodbye to the newest signee, who closed the door as the GM resumed her work.
"It looks like we have a new signee to be fully introduced next week, Ami Kawashima!" Excalibur exclaimed excitedly.
"And we have the full pledge to watch her talk show, Ami Plus, next week!" Corey added with enthusiasm in his voice.
"Plus, the General Manager just told us that the crowning of the inaugural AVW Women's Champion will cap off the show tonight! And whoever wins will be the special guest next week for Ami Plus! Who couldn't wait for that?!" Shun said.
("yes" by Tamaru Yamada) played in the arena as the crowd cheered for the arrival of Kaname Chidori, pounding her fists on the ramp and raising one of her arms.
"This is a singles match scheduled for one fall, with a time limit of 30 minutes. Introducing first, Tokyo, Japan, Kaname Chidori!" Mai Sakurajima announced as the blue-haired girl interacted with some fans on the side of the ramp.
"After what we have just witnessed back at the debut episode of Elevation, Kaname Chidori showed us what she is capable of the inside of the ring!" Excalibur said as Kaname enters the ring, raising her arms to the delight of the fans.
"How could you not be impressed with her performance at that Ladder Match, two weeks ago? That girl is synonymous with toughness. Just look at her." Shun said.
"That look reads a facade from a distance and is actually intimidated by her opponent by accepting the challenge of this next individual entering at the ramp," Corey said.
("only my railgun" by fripSide) was played next as the fans were elated to an electrifying entrance with multiple lightning strikes, hitting the sides of the entranceway and the tron, causing the lights from the arena to go off. Mikoto Misaka entered with lightning in her hands as she shots the lightning upwards causing for the electricity to go back.
"Wow!" Corey reacted ecstatically.
"And her opponent, from Academy City, "Railgun" Mikoto Misaka!" Mai Sakurajima announced.
"Did you see that, Kaido? That was a fantastic entrance!" Corey said.
"You act like a kid who saw lightning for the first time," Shun replied.
"Whatever, it's just how she is in the ring, if you can remember from the first episode, she was supposed to be the other contender for the Women's Championship but that turned into dust when that girl in the ring interfered."
"As far as to why this match occurred, that spot where Kaname delivered an Ocean Cyclone Suplex was the catalyst to all of this. Will Mikoto Misaka get the upper hand or Kaname will show how she is a tough athlete in the company?" Excalibur asked as Mikoto enters the ring through the middle rope while Kaname took a good look at her opponent.
The music stopped as the referee asked both women if they are ready and both nodded. The referee then signals the timekeeper to ring the bell and eventually chimed as both women circled around the ring until they locked up with a tie-up. It was subsequently broken by Kaname with a Waistlock but Mikoto counters with her own and the exchange continue until Mikoto takes down Kaname with a Takeover.
Kaname ran in the ropes to take down Mikoto with a Shoulder Block as Mikoto went on fours after Mikoto when leaped off her then Kaname went to the other side of the ropes and Mikoto leapfrogs above the head of her opponent. Kaname ran to the other side of the ropes to see a bowing Mikoto, expecting a Back Body Drop but Kaname saw the gesture and kicks the shoulder of Mikoto to lift her up, setting her up in an Electric Chair position for a Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex but Mikoto saw it coming as she used her full weight to send them back to a corner and rolls forward into a Victory Roll, only for a two count.
Both women stood up with Kaname gaining the lead with a kick to the gut and attempting to hit the Railgun (Pumphandle Cutter) but was countered with a Sunset Flip and the referee counted to two after a kickout. The competitors simultaneously back up to their feet with Kaname sending Mikoto to a corner with a tackle then spamming with more tackles as the referee begins the count as Kaname raised her hands to break. Mikoto took advantage with a poke to the eye of Kaname, causing the boos to roar in the arena.
"Great chain wrestling, so far between these two, but Misaka took a cheap shot to gain the advantage," Shun said.
"I'm pretty sure that is legal if the referee is not looking," Corey said.
Mikoto sends Kaname to give her a chop but as soon as she saw her chest, she became enraged at how bigger her opponent's chest is than hers, causing the crowd to laugh and instead Mikoto fires with multiple punches but was not effective when Kaname sends Mikoto to the corner and shots the chest of Mikoto with a thunderous chop that sends her staggering on her feet. Kaname then follows up with a Back Body Drop, causing her to taunt the crowd with cheers.
"What a vicious chop to Mikoto, her chest might have adjusted a few inches with that," Excalibur said.
"Talk about advantages…" Shun added.
Kaname notices that Mikoto rolls outside as she follows her when rolls under the bottom rope. Once she got out, Mikoto surprises her with a tackle on the apron with the referee beginning to count. Kaname tries to fight back with punches to the head but Mikoto prevailed when she sends her back to the fan barricade then Mikoto whips Kaname to the stairs, causing the stairs and Kaname to bounce off, much to the chagrin of the fans.
"Mikoto tries to dislodge Kaname out of her comfort zone after sending her to the stairs and the barricade, if this was her strategy then it has been effective so far," Corey said.
Mikoto rolls Kaname back to the ring and soon Mikoto enters back as she covers Kaname but only for a two count. Mikoto continues the assault with multiple foot stomps to the body of Kaname to the chorus of boos of the Washington audience.
"Mikoto Misaka is in control of the match as if she has her number," Excalibur said.
Mikoto ran to the ropes to drop a knee but Kaname dodges immediately as Mikoto clutches the knee when Kaname ran in the ropes to hit a Knee Strike, causing her to get sent to the bottom rope, her head draping on the rope. Kaname took a chance and stomps her head as the crowd begins to cheer. Kaname then picks Mikoto's legs, attempting to catapult her into the bottom rope but Mikoto fights Kaname off, kicking her away as it was effective, and sends her to the other side.
Mikoto stood up slowly on the apron while Kaname soon approaches her and was met by a Hotshot of Mikoto, yanking the head of Kaname to the ropes. The reception changed after the move with Mikoto sending Kaname to the apron with a Front Face Lock.
"Man, if I have ever met a vicious girl in my life, then this scene was shown to me. I would have befriended her. Look at the aggressiveness of the esper!" Corey exclaimed. Mikoto clubs the back of Kaname a few times as she tries to lift her up with a Vertical Suplex on the apron but Kaname uses her weight to block the attempt. After two attempts, Kaname uncorks an Uppercut to Mikoto, sending her back for a few inches.
Once the distance was far off, Kaname attempts to run over Mikoto, who lifts Kaname to the ring post with a Flapjack, hitting face first on the post and falling off to the floor, and so is Mikoto. The crowd went into awe after a nasty landing from the blue-haired individual.
"Oh, no! Hard fall by Kaname to the ring post then to the floor! The same goes for Mikoto and the referee begins to count immediately!" Excalibur exclaimed.
"That hit on the ring post might have possibly changed the tide of the match. That Flapjack is gonna cost bills on the medical side of Kaname." Corey added.

Mikoto then drags herself back slowly under the ropes as she took a respite, beginning to stand on her own.

Kaname begins to move while the crowd was supporting on her back as she crawls back underneath the rope, but was met with a Leg Drop from Mikoto, causing the audience to jeer at the esper, who went for the cover.

Kaname kicks out as Mikoto instantly adjusts her opponent, locking her arm and head in an Arm Triangle Choke, grounding her in the process. With this predicament, the crowd started to rally behind Kaname.
"Head and Arm Choke by Mikoto, great submission to held down Kaname," Excalibur said.
"If this hold was synched in deeply, then she has no choice but to tap the mat. And Mikoto might have fulfilled the goal of her to expose Kaname." Corey said.
A few seconds after, Kaname begins to stand at a snail's pace until she counters the hold with a Stunner, sending Mikoto into clutching her jaw and isolating themselves. Kaname ran to the ropes but Mikoto fires back with a Spinning Back Elbow that sends Kaname in dazed as Mikoto picks her up in a Cobra Clutch and slams her down to the mat with Mikoto pressing her hands onto her opponent's chest to pin.

Kaname kicks out as Mikoto's frustration begins to show but she hid it well.
"Quite an arrogant pin, if I have ever seen one," Shun commented.
Mikoto picks up Kaname to whip her into a corner, hitting back first in pain. Then, Mikoto used her strength to lift Kaname to the top turnbuckle and climbs up eventually. The esper punched Mikoto a few times until she was unresponsive, looks below, and attempts to hit a Superplex but Kaname fights back with headbutts, causing to stun Mikoto.
"I can't believe how much damage can these girls take. Headbutts, punches, whatever arsenal they have utilized, they still won't go down." Corey said.
"Kaname has to fight off Mikoto to avoid getting caught from the Superplex… and was able to slide off under and she's got Mikoto…" Excalibur said while watching Kaname lift Mikoto and slam her in the canvas with a Powerbomb, causing for the women to go down. "Huge Powerbomb sends Mikoto drilling on the mat and they all look tired, but the match is still in progress!"
"The crowd is fully behind Kaname Chidori but let's not forget Mikoto Misaka and this slugfest continues!" Shun exclaimed.
The crowd begins to applaud the performance of both competitors as the referee begins to count while they are down. After the count of 6, both women began to show signs of consciousness as they slowly picks up themselves on foot. Kaname fires the first punch while Mikoto answers back with her own. The combat continued until Kaname spams punches to the face of Mikoto and she whips Mikoto to the ropes but was countered and sends Kaname to the corner.
Kaname suddenly explodes with a Clothesline to Mikoto, and she follows up with another Clothesline. Kaname attempts another Irish Whip but this time on the ropes to Mikoto, who got launched by Kaname with a Back Body Drop, sending the back of Mikoto in the world of hurt.
"Kaname Chidori is on frenzy mode and launches Mikoto with a huge Back Drop!" Excalibur exclaimed. Kaname then hits a Big Boot to the face of Mikoto, who rolls out of the ring, causing the fans to boo Mikoto.
"Great move by Kaname but a greater tactic was made by Mikoto as she makes an escape from the ring," Corey said.
Meanwhile, Kaname had other plans, gesturing her fingers into a spinning motion, indicating that she is gonna do something crazy as she ran to the ropes while Mikoto tries to climb back to the apron when Kaname ran through Mikoto with a Suicide Spear, taking both women to the floor in the process, wowing the Washington crowd.
"Oh, my, what a Spear by Kaname but she is still standing and moving!" Shun exclaimed as Kaname shouted for the approval of the fans and then sends Mikoto back to the ring, following herself.
"Any second now, Kaname has Mikoto's number and this could be the match ender!" Excalibur added. Kaname then ties the arms of Mikoto and sends her up in an Electric Chair Position but Mikoto somehow fights off Mikoto with a few punches to the face of Kaname.
"Mikoto fights off from Kaname's shoulders! These girls won't stop mugging each other!" Corey exclaimed.
Kaname releases Mikoto, who counters with a Backslide Pin.

Kaname kicks out immediately but her nose begins to bleed after the punches from Mikoto, who hits a Body Zapper (Codebreaker). The crowd was displeased by this and boos Mikoto, who instantly covers Kaname.
"Body Zapper by Misaka and this could be it!" Excalibur exclaimed.

Kaname still kicks out, much to the agitation state of Mikoto, who argues with the referee.
"Kaname kicked out a Codebreaker and the emotions of Mikoto begins to stir her up!" Excalibur exclaimed.
Mikoto then fires a few more punches to the bleeding nose of Kaname, much to the dislike of the crowd. After that, Mikoto picks her up and whips Kaname to a corner as she ran toward her but surprisingly, Kaname sidesteps as Mikoto was able to stop herself from hitting the turnbuckle. Mikoto looks back and runs again towards Kaname in the center and Kaname grabs her instantly and sends her for a ride with a Blue Thunder Bomb as Kaname's leg captures the shoulder to begin the pin.

Mikoto kicks out, much to the shock of the crowd and Kaname.
"Mikoto was able to survive the Blue Thunder Bomb, unbelievable resiliency from her!" Corey complimented Mikoto, who begins to crawl towards the ropes. Kaname notice the movements of her opponent as she made her way to the ropes where Mikoto is; however, Mikoto played possum and sends Mikoto's face to the middle turnbuckle.
"Oh! Mikoto sends that bloody nose of Kaname to the turnbuckle!" Excalibur exclaimed.
Kaname was holding her nose and got kicked to the gut by Mikoto, who sets her up for a Railgun (Pumphandle Cutter) but Kaname amazingly had the power to counter the move with a Small Package Pin.

Mikoto kicks out immediately. But when Kaname stood up, Mikoto fires back with a hellacious slap to the face, sending Kaname into spaghetti legs. Mikoto then picks her up again to execute Railgun (Pumphandle Cutter) as she finally nails the move, much to the boos of the audience and Mikoto proceeds to collapse on her back to cover Kaname.

Kaname's foot hung on the bottom rope, causing the referee to break the count and the crowd begins to chant "This is Awesome!". While Mikoto's frustration begins to boil as she begins to mount on Kaname to fire back with multiple punches to the exposed face of hers to the orchestra of boos.
"I-I can't believe it! Kaname has used her ring savviness to extend the foot on the ropes!" Shun exclaimed.
"But the repercussion is Mikoto's anguish is clearly on her actions right now with those fists!" Corey said.
"STAY DOWN! WHY WON'T YOU STAY DOWN?!" Mikoto shouted as she fires a last shot to the face, causing for her nose and now her mouth to bust open.
"And the face of Kaname reads it all, an absolute bloody mess! Mikoto is sending the unconscious Kaname to the corner like she is a guinea pig!" Excalibur exclaimed.
Mikoto's fury begins when he ran from a corner to Kaname's to hit a Corner Dropkick straight to the face. As she went back to the furthest corner, she ran again towards Kaname to hit a second Corner Dropkick and Mikoto begins to mock the crowd to suck it, walking back limping to a corner.
"What does it take for these women to end this?" Corey asked.
Mikoto then slits her throat, signaling for the end as she went for a third Corner Dropkick. But miraculously, Kaname runs to the upcoming Mikoto and exploded with a Busaiku Knee, turning Mikoto inside out, to the surprise of many.
"OHHH! BLUE-SYCHO KNEE (Busaiku Knee/Running Knee), BLUE-SYCHO KNEE TO MIKOTO! FROM OUT OF NOWHERE!" Excalibur shouted.
"What in the world is this female made of?!" Corey was perplexed after a surprise attack.
Kaname then crawls to the unresponsive Mikoto and hooks a leg.

The bell rang in succession as Kaname's theme played in the background, earning cheers and applause from the audience.
"Here is your winner, Kaname Chidori!" Mai Sakurajima announced the winner of the match as the referee saw Kaname standing up on her own and lifting an arm of hers to raise.
"Unbelievable! These women just showed how hard they can hit the same as men! And they did just that tonight!" Excalibur exclaimed.
"An absolute and all-out brawl is what we have just witnessed! You have got to give credit to these two, they got the heart as solid as a stone and they both delivered!" Corey added.
"What a match!" Shun exclaimed.
The referee lets go of Kaname's wrist when he begins to check up on Mikoto, who shooed the referee away as she begins to crawl on fours to pick up a rope to stand. Kaname sees this and holds the arm of Mikoto, sending her back to her feet to meet her eye-to-eye.
Kaname told Mikoto that she did put her best to take her out. Mikoto then looked at Kaname, who was wiping off any excess blood on her face, with a scornful look as Kaname suddenly offers a hand. The crowd cooed at this developing situation.
"Will Mikoto accept the gesture of respect?" Excalibur asked.
Mikoto was hesitant at receiving the hand but she had ultimately decided to snub the offer as she walked out of the ring to the boos of the crowd. Mikoto was still bewildered that she has lost the match and went back to the ramp without looking while Kaname shrugs and chuckles as she raised a fist in celebration with the fans.
"Looks like Mikoto couldn't take the loss like a professional," Shun said.
"Or she was still mystified that Kaname won the match," Corey said.
"But either way, Kaname was victorious in this match-up and the show never ends here and we still have a few matches to come. The Tag Team Turbulence Tournament continues with the final Quarterfinals with Class 1-A's Shoto Todoroki and Katsuki Bakugo taking on Maou Sadao and Shiro Ashiya!" Excalibur said.
"The AVW World Championship will be defended for the first time as the champion Izuku Midoriya battles SOS Brigade's Giant, Kyon!" Corey added.
"And the main event of the evening, we have Asuka Langley Soryu and Rin Tohsaka colliding for the AVW Women's World Championship! Who will be the first-ever Women's Champion of the company? We will find out later tonight!" Shun said.
"And speaking of Women's Champion, let's go back to the Backstage Area where Chika Fujiwara will be having a scoop on one of the women who will compete tonight," Excalibur said.
Backstage Area
"Thank you, Excalibur. And what a night has been so far here in February's Avalanche Slam! Please, welcome, one of the contenders for the AVW Women's World Championship to compete tonight, Rin Tohsaka!" Chika Fujiwara said, introducing the popular woman of the company so far, earning cheers in the background. "So, Rin, any thoughts on the latest match?"
"Chika, I have never been so hungry for a match after watching Mikoto Misaka and Kaname Chidori, they fought to a whole new level and took out themselves like a real woman! And as for tonight, the real Women's Champion will be crowned tonight and that title belongs to me!" Rin replied with confidence, garnering a positive reaction from the crowd.
"And by the way, what's your plan for the match with Asuka tonight?" Chika asked.
"Oh, my plan? Just simple… focus on the goal and that goal is to beat Asuka until he could not get up from my offenses, just like what I did to her last week!" Rin answered fairly as she walks out of Chika's presence. "Back to the commentary team, Excalibur!"
