BTWF StarShow (Night 1 Part 4)

The camera panned to a video, which showcased highlights of Laxus Dreyar's first couple of months in the BTWF. Some of the scenes displayed in the highlights include Laxus eliminating Shinji from the Battle Riot with a Raging Bolt (Goldberg-esque Spear), Laxus destroying Kensuke and Touji in a handicap match at Last Gasp, and Laxus defeating Todoroki and KIRISHIMA. After another minute, the video ended, and the camera panned back to the stage, where Mirajane Strauss was sitting on top of a throne on a platform, wearing a one-piece leotard with Laxus' lightning adorned on it. The spotlight focused on Mirajane while she sat up from her throne, and smirked at the booing crowd.

"Rise in the presence of your future BTWF United States Champion and show your respect! You are all the blind sheep that follow the old guard, and you will fall along with them! We will provide the end of the old guard, we will lead the BTWF into a new generation of prosperity! We will become the absolute power of the BTWF, and we will own you! You sheep still standing behind Shinji are rooting against reality in favor of hope! And that hope is going to be pulverized by the heavy hand of reality! After tonight, all your hope will be lost, because there can only be one man who can stand tall in the Coliseum of the Immortals! And when the dust settles, he will be standing with the BTWF United States Championship over his head! Now bow down and grovel at his feet! He is the God of Thunder, Laxus Dreyar!" Mirajane soliloquized and introduced, the camera panning around the booing crowd before focusing back on Mirajane's smirk. Once Mirajane finished speaking, a bolt of lightning shot on the stage, the crowd booing as Laxus, with a gold and black cape, appeared kneeling at the center of the stage.

"What an entrance for the #1 contender for the BTWF United States Championship! Mirajane and Laxus definitely have all the confidence in the world that they're going to be the ones walking out with the BTWF United States Championship!" Nigel exclaimed as 'Down From the Sky' by Trivium played, the crowd continuing to boo as Laxus stood up while Mirajane walked down the platform thanks to the stairs. When Mirajane made it onto the stage, she walked into Laxus' arms, and the two exchanged a passionate kiss on the stage before Laxus and Mirajane walked down the entranceway. Laxus and Mirajane walked to the ring with an air of confidence around them, maintaining the big smirks on their faces despite the negative reaction they were receiving from the fans.

"You can't blame them for being confident. Laxus hasn't been pinned or made to submit since his arrival at the Battle Riot, and hasn't even been kept down on the mat for longer than a couple of seconds," Okabe responded as when they made it to the ringside area, Laxus picked Mirajane up and put her on the ring apron before jumping next to her onto the apron, the crowd continuing to boo as Laxus held the ropes open, allowing Mirajane to saunter her way into the ring while Laxus jumped over the top rope and into the ring. Laxus then jumped up to the top rope, shooting both his fists in the air, causing another bolt of lightning to shoot onto the stage.

"Laxus has also been calling Shinji 'past his prime' and that he was going to cause one of the Pillars of BTWF to crumble. You have to imagine that Shinji has something to that!" Beth exclaimed as Mirajane jumped into Laxus' arms, and gave him one last kiss before jumping out of his arms and leaving the ring. Laxus then went to the center of the ring, took off his cape, and flexed his muscles before telling the crowd to bask in the glory of their new BTWF United States Champion. While Laxus was giving his cape to Mirajane, the lights in the arena went out. After a moment, the crowd began cheering as a single flame appeared on the stage. After another moment, 'Not Gonna Die' by Skillet played, the crowd exploding into cheers as Shinji is revealed to be holding a torch.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the BTWF United States Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, in the ring, accompanied to the ring by Mirajane Strauss, from Magnolia Fiore, he is 'The God of Thunder' Laxus Dreyar! And his opponent, from Tokyo Japan, he is the BTWF United States Champion, 'Undisputed' Shinji Ikari!" Tim Barr announced, the crowd continuing to cheer as Shinji touched the stage with his torch, causing the edges and sides of the entranceway to create a path of fire. Shinji then raised his fist and the torch in the air, the crowd continuing to cheer as the sides of the star-shaped TitanTrons also shot fire.

"Shinji has been BTWF United States Champion for almost 11 months and has found a way to retain every month he's been champion. Can he make it to 12 months after defeating Laxus here!?" Nigel asked as Shinji put the torch down, and began marching to the ring, taking off his vest, and showing the BTWF United States Championship around his waist. Shinji high-fived several fans in the front row, even taking a couple of pictures with some fans before stopping at the ringside area. The crowd continued cheering as Shinji bent forward for a moment, and then shot his fists up in the air, causing fire and pyro to shoot from the stage, with Laxus continuing to look at the champion, unimpressed.

"Laxus has been able to pin Shinji during his debut in the Battle Riot, so of course he doesn't look like he's sweating it," Okabe noted as Shinji took the BTWF United States Championship off of around his waist, slid it into the ring from underneath the bottom rope, and just as Shinji slid into the ring, Laxus stomped on the top of the BTWF United States Championship, the crowd booing as Laxus picked the title up from off the ground, and raised the championship over his head. Shinji kipped back up to his feet, and got into Laxus' face, telling him to put the US title down. Laxus responded by throwing the championship back at Shinji, telling the champion that the belt was going to be his anyway.

"Shinji isn't going to take that disrespect lying down, and Laxus is going to find that out the hard way!" Beth exclaimed as the referee separated both men before Shinji handed him the BTWF United States Championship. The referee raised the BTWF United States Championship over his head and then showed both Shinji and Laxus the title before giving it to a ringside attendant. Once the referee checked both Shinji and Laxus again, he told the timekeeper to ring the bell, starting the match.

"The bell has rung, and this United States Championship match is now underway!" Okabe exclaimed as Shinji and Laxus locked up in the middle of the ring, the crowd booing as Laxus was able to overpower Shinji and push him away. Laxus flexed his right arm, telling Shinji that this wasn't going to work out well for him. Shinji and Laxus circled around each other again, and when they locked up again, Laxus once again overpowered him, throwing him into the corner before flexing once again. Laxus attempted to run into the corner with a Running Corner Clothesline, but Shinji countered with a corner kick to the side of the head. Shinji jumped onto the middle rope and attempted to hit Laxus with a Diving Japanese Arm Drag, but Laxus was able to keep his feet on the ground, pull Shinji up, and make an attempt to hit him with an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex. However, the crowd cheered as Shinji was able to land on his feet, and when Laxus looked shocked, Shinji turned back around and flipped him off.

"Shinji showing Laxus the same disrespect that the God of Thunder has been showing him since he arrived in the BTWF!" Nigel exclaimed as Laxus attempted to hit Shinji with a kick to the side of the head, but the crowd cheered as Shinji dodged the kick and hit him with multiple punches to the side of the head. Shinji attempted to Irish whip Laxus into the ropes, but Laxus once again kept his feet on the floor and responded by throwing Shinji into the ropes. Shinji rolled out of the way of a Big Boot attempt and attempted to hit a Running Single Leg Dropkick of his own, but Laxus ducked. Shinji was able to land on his feet and hit Laxus with a couple of Running Dropkicks to the face.

"Laxus is still standing despite those Running Dropkicks to the face, but he's got to be stunned with the force Shinji hit those kicks!" Okabe exclaimed as Shinji attempted to hit Laxus with the Fly to the Moon (Superkick) early, but Laxus pushed the kick away, stunning Shinji with a Discus Back Elbow to the side of the head. Laxus then threw Shinji into the corner, the crowd booing as he hit several Back Elbows to the side of Shinji's head before running the ropes and attempting to hit him with the Running Back Elbow to the side of the head. However, Shinji was able to roll out of the corner, sending Laxus crashing back first into the corner, allowing Shinji to hit a Jumping Spin Kick to the side of Laxus' face.

"Shinji almost kicked that cheap hair gel off of Laxus' head!" Beth exclaimed as Shinji climbed up to the middle rope, hitting Laxus with multiple punches to the side of the head, but Laxus was able to grab the back of Shinji's trunks and attempted to put him in position for a Powerbomb. However, Shinji hit Laxus with several forearms to the side of the head before jumping onto the top rope and attempting to hit Laxus with a Twisting Crossbody. However, Laxus was able to catch Shinji in mid-air and attempted to him with a Fallaway Slam, but the crowd exploded into cheers as Shinji countered by throwing Laxus across the ring with a Tilt-a-Whirl Japanese Arm Drag.

"Shinji and Laxus haven't been able to gain a continuous advantage, but Shinji also hasn't been able to keep Laxus down!" Okabe exclaimed as Shinji ran the ropes, and hit Laxus with a Single Leg Running Dropkick to the side of the face, sending him falling into the ropes. Shinji then ran the ropes, and hit another Single Leg Running Dropkick to the side of the head, sending Laxus falling out of the ring. The crowd continued cheering as Shinji clapped in the same rhythm as the fans before running the ropes and sending Laxus crashing back-first into the fan barricade. Shinji then hit multiple Knife-Edge Chops to the chest and punched to the side of the head before sliding back into the ring from the bottom rope. Shinji ran the ropes, and hit another Suicide Dive to Laxus' chest, once again sending him crashing into the fan barricade back first, though Laxus was still on his feet.

"Shinji throwing all his weight into those Suicide Dives, but Laxus is still standing on his feet!" Nigel exclaimed as Shinji began hitting Laxus with Knife-Edge Chops to the chest and multiple punches to the side of the head, but Laxus was able to push him off. Shinji responded by jumping on top of the apron and kicking Laxus away when he attempted to pull him off the apron. Shinji then attempted to hit a stunned Laxus with an Asai Moonsault, but Laxus was able to catch him in a Powerslam position. However, when Laxus attempted to throw Shinji into the steel ring post with a Lawn Dart, Shinji was able to slip out of Laxus' grasp and send him into the steel ring post face first.

Ref: 1…2…3

"Shinji sending Laxus' face right into the steel! I'm shocked that he's not bleeding right now!" Beth exclaimed as Shinji grabbed Laxus' head, and smashed his face into the top of the Spanish commentary table multiple times before jumping back up to the apron. The crowd continued cheering as Shinji springboarded off the middle rope, this time hitting the Asai Moonsault onto Laxus, sending him crashing into the commentary table back first. However, Laxus was able to lean on the table rather than go down, Shinji responded by hitting Laxus with multiple punches to the side of the head.

Ref: …4…5

"I'm shocked to see how much Shinji has been dominating this match since it's gone to the outside. You'd think that a powerhouse like Laxus would thrive in this environment," Okabe noted in surprise as Shinji grabbed Laxus, and attempted to throw him back into the ring. However, Laxus hit Shinji with multiple elbow strikes to the gut before throwing him into the ring apron chest first. The crowd booed as Laxus grabbed Shinji by the hair, and hit him with multiple punches before picking him up in a Military Press, but Shinji was able to grab the ropes, pulling himself away from Laxus' grasp. However, Shinji wasn't safe as Laxus jumped up to the apron next to Shinji, and clubbed him in the back of the head a couple of times with Standing Lariats.

Ref: …6…7…8

"That was some impressive athleticism by Laxus, but not as impressive as the force behind those strikes!" Nigel exclaimed Laxus then sent a stunned Shinji back into the ring with another Standing Clothesline that sent him back into the ring over the top rope. Laxus then followed him back into the ring and attempted to hit Shinji with a Powerbomb, but Shinji once again responded by hitting Laxus with multiple punches to the head. However, Laxus didn't let go of Shinji and threw him into the top rope throat first with a Stun Gun. Laxus then ran the ropes, turning a stunned Shinji inside out with a Running Lariat, the crowd booing as Laxus threw Shinji into the corner, and hit him with multiple clubs to the side of the head.

"Laxus bullying his way back into the driver's seat, continuing to dominate Shinji with some hard strikes!" Beth exclaimed as Laxus ran the ropes, and hit Shinji with a Running Corner Back Elbow to the side of the head. Laxus then hit a Standing Corner Clothesline to Shinji's chest before running the ropes and hitting Shinji with a Jumping Stinger Splash. Laxus then threw Shinji out of the corner with an Exploder Suplex, the crowd booing as Laxus grabbed Shinji by the hair and hit him with a hard Body Slam. The crowd continued booing as Laxus dragged Shinji to the ropes, grabbed the top rope, and hit Shinji with several Slingshot Stomps to the chest before jumping up one more time and hitting him with a Slingshot Elbow Drop to the chest before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2

"Laxus almost caved Shinji's chest in with those stomps and that Elbow Drop, but Shinji says 'Not yet'!" Beth exclaimed as Laxus picked Shinji back up in a Military Press, the crowd booing as Laxus began benching Shinji while Mirajane was watching with a smile on her face. Laxus then threw Shinji into the corner with a Military Press Lawn Dart before running the ropes and hitting Shinji with a Running Corner Uppercut. Laxus ran the ropes, attempting to hit another Running Corner Uppercut, but the crowd cheered as Shinji was able to throw Laxus onto the ring apron. However, Laxus landed on his feet and hit Shinji in the back of the head with a Step-Up Enziguri before pushing him out of the corner, climbing back up to the top rope, and hitting Shinji with a Diving Clothesline from the top rope.

"Woah! We don't see Laxus going airborne very often, but with the stakes as high as they are tonight, you have to pull out all the stops!" Nigel exclaimed as Laxus deadlifted Shinji back up in a Vertical Suplex position, the crowd booing as Laxus began doing squats while holding Shinji up. Laxus then hit Shinji with two Rolling Vertical Suplexes, but instead of hitting the traditional third Vertical Suplex, Laxus planted Shinji with a Jackhammer. The crowd continued booing as Laxus ran the ropes, and hit him with a Jumping Leg Drop across the throat before running the ropes again, hitting a seated Shinji with a Sliding Grounded Forearm, and going for another pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

"Laxus changing up his moveset here just goes to show how much he wants this, how much becoming the BTWF United States Champion means to him!" Okabe exclaimed as Laxus picked Shinji back up, and hit him with a couple of hard Knife-Edge Chops that sent Shinji onto his knees. Laxus then smirked while playfully smacking Shinji on the back of the head before hitting him with a Knee Strike to the face. While Shinji was holding his face in pain, Laxus ran the ropes and hit him with another Running Knee Strike to the side of the head. Laxus mockingly applauded Shinji as he was struggling to get back onto his feet, and Laxus responded to this by picking Shinji up and throwing him into the corner with an Exploder Suplex.

"Laxus almost sent Shinji through the corner with that Exploder Suplex!" Beth exclaimed as Laxus stomped on a crumpled-up Shinji before picking him back up, and throwing him into the middle of the ring with an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex. Laxus then grabbed Shinji in a Waistlock, deadlifted him up, and hit him with a German Suplex throw that sent him crashing onto his chest. Laxus smirked down at Shinji, playfully kicking Shinji in the side of the head. The crowd cheered as Shinji responded with several punches to the gut, but Laxus immediately countered with a kick to the back of the neck, sending Shinji crumpling down to the canvas face-first.

"What a kick to the back of the neck! Laxus has absolutely been dominating against Shinji, slowing the match down to just prove his dominance over the BTWF United States Champion!" Okabe exclaimed as Laxus ran the ropes, and hit several Sliding Leg Drops across the back of Shinji's neck. Laxus didn't stop there, as he mounted Shinji's back, and hit him with multiple clubs to the back of the head before putting him in a Camel Clutch. Shinji shook his head when the referee asked whether or not Shinji wanted to give up, which only prompted Laxus to pull his head back further while in the Camel Clutch.

"Laxus really wrenching down on Shinji's neck, but Shinji's refusing to give up the championship he's held with pride for almost 11 months!" Nigel exclaimed as Shinji attempted to pull back on Laxus' fingers to try and ease the pressure on the Camel Clutch, but the crowd booed as Laxus responded with multiple headbutts to the back of the head before pulling back even further on the Camel Clutch, bending Shinji's back even more. Despite this, Shinji refused to give up, and after another minute in the hold, Shinji began hitting Laxus in the side of the head several times with Back Elbows. The crowd continued cheering as Shinji didn't stop hitting Laxus until he was able to free himself from Laxus' grip. Shinji then ran the ropes, but Laxus was able to kip back up to his feet and catch Shinji with a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"Laxus' athleticism is almost as scary as his power!" Beth exclaimed as an irate Laxus stood back up on his feet, and began stomping on Shinji's chest and face before grabbing him by the hair, screaming in his face that he should've stayed down. The crowd continued booing as Laxus continued screaming that Shinji was going to crumble like Gourry, but the crowd exploded into cheers as Shinji was able to push Laxus, and hit him with the Fly to the Moon (Superkick), causing both men to fall onto the floor. The crowd chanted and clapped for Shinji while Mirajane pounded the mat on the outside, trying to encourage Laxus to get back on his feet. Shinji, while still dazed, was able to crawl over to a downed Laxus, and put an arm over Laxus' chest to initiate a pinfall.

Ref: 1…2

"Shinji knocked Laxus down with a vicious Superkick, but Laxus was still able to kick out! Despite that, this is the first time that Laxus has been knocked down for longer than a couple of seconds! This could be the turning point that Shinji needed!" Nigel exclaimed as Shinji and Laxus both began pulling themselves back to their feet. The crowd cheered and booed accordingly as Laxus and Shinji began exchanging hard punches and forearms with each other. The crowd booed as Laxus seemingly won this brawl with a couple of forearms finished off with a Discus Forearm, but when Laxus ran the ropes attempting another move, Shinji was able to kip back up to his feet and hit Laxus in the side of the head with a Jumping Enziguri. The crowd continued cheering as Shinji ran the ropes and hit a stunned Laxus with two Jumping Forearms, and a couple of Clotheslines, and knocked him down with a Sling Blade.

"Shinji once again knocking down the big man, showing Laxus that he's not dealing with a crumbling pillar, he's dealing with the Undisputed Best!" Beth exclaimed as Shinji ran the ropes, and hit Laxus with a Running Shooting Star Press to the chest. The crowd continued cheering as Shinji ran the ropes, and hit a seated Laxus with a Sliding Knee Strike to the side of the head. Shinji then ran the ropes, attempting to hit a Springboard Moonsault onto Laxus, but he was able to roll out of the way. However, when Laxus attempted to hit Shinji with a Big Boot, Shinji ducked, and springboarded off the middle rope, hitting Laxus with a Springboard Tornado DDT before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

"Shinji planting Laxus' head into the canvas with that Tornado DDT, but it wasn't enough!" Okabe exclaimed as Shinji went into the corner, and started stomping on the canvas, encouraging the crowd to clap in rhythm while he was waiting to hit Laxus with another Fly to the Moon (Superkick). However, when Laxus got back to his feet and Shinji attempted another Fly to the Moon (Superkick), Laxus dodged and attempted to hit him with a Spinning Leg Lariat to the back of the head, but Shinji ducked and hit Laxus with a Back Kick to the gut. Shinji then ran the ropes and attempted the Peace of Mind (Seth Rollins' Curb Stomp), but Laxus threw Shinji into the air and attempted to hit him with a Very European Uppercut, but Shinji was able to dodge and plant Laxus with a Reverse DDT.

"Shinji showing Laxus that there is plenty of fight left in him and that he wasn't going to be going down that easily!" Nigel exclaimed as Shinji went up to the top rope, attempting to hit Laxus with a Genesis Moonsault (Christopher Daniel's Best Moonsault Ever), but the crowd booed as Laxus was able to get back to his feet, and hit a Dropkick to Shinji's face while he was balancing himself on the top turnbuckle. Laxus then ran into the corner, jumped up to the top turnbuckle, and hit Shinji with a Superplex before going for the pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.

Ref: 1…2…

"Laxus with one of the most athletic Superplexes I've ever seen, but it wasn't enough to win him the United States Championship!" Beth exclaimed as Laxus picked Shinji up, and hit him with a Swinging Neckbreaker before rolling into the corner. The crowd continued booing as Laxus prepped himself for the Raging Bolt (Goldberg-esque Spear), but when he attempted to hit the Raging Bolt (Goldberg-Esque Spear), Shinji countered by hitting Laxus with another Fly to the Moon (Superkick). Laxus was staggering on his feet, and Shinji responded by jumping onto the apron and springboarded back into the ring with a Springboard Knee Strike to the side of the head.

"Shinji coming back into the match, but look at how he's continuing to hold his back. That Superplex definitely took a lot out of him," Okabe explained as Shinji springboarded off the top rope, attempting to hit her with a Moonsault Reverse DDT. However, the crowd booed as Laxus caught him in a Powerslam position, rammed him back first into the corner with a Powerslam, and then hit him with a Running Powerslam to the center of the ring. The crowd booed as Laxus began climbing back up to the top rope, with Mirajane applauding from the outside, and hit Shinji with a Diving Leg Drop across to the throat before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"Wow! Laxus diving off the top with a Diving Leg Drop! I don't know how Shinji kicked out of that one!" Beth exclaimed as Laxus furiously grabbed Shinji, and threw him out of the ring. The crowd booed as Laxus let out a massive roar before running the ropes, and attempted to vault himself over the top rope with a Vaulting Crossbody, but the crowd exploded into cheers when Shinji dodged, sending Laxus crashing through the Spanish announce table. Shinji, while still holding his back, began climbing back up to the top rope as Mirajane ran over to Laxus and tried to wake him back up.

"Holy shit! Laxus just threw himself through our Spanish announce table! And Shinji's going to take advantage!" Nigel exclaimed as Shinji climbed up to the top rope, and despite Mirajane yelling at Shinji, he dived off the top rope and hit Laxus with a Frog Splash while he was still in the rubble of the Spanish commentary table. The crowd continued cheering and chanting 'Holy Shit!' as Shinji pulled himself back up to his feet, grabbed Laxus, and threw him back into the ring. However, while the referee checked on a downed Laxus, Mirajane jumped on top of Shinji's back and began slapping him in the back of the head and clawing at him.

"Mirajane is absolutely livid at what Shinji just did to Laxus! And the referee isn't seeing any of this!" Okabe exclaimed as Shinji threw Mirajane off of him before jumping back up to the ring apron, climbing back up to the top rope, and hitting Laxus with a Phoenix Splash before going for the pinfall and hooking both of his legs back.

Ref: 1…2…

Laxus barely kicked out, to which Shinji responded by looking at the referee in shock. The crowd continued cheering as Shinji ran into the corner, and started stomping on the ground in the same rhythm as the crowd, preparing for the Peace of Mind (Seth Rollins' Curb Stomp) once again. However, when Shinji attempted to hit him with the Peace of Mind (Seth Rollins' Curb Stomp), Laxus responded by throwing him up into the air mid-Peace of Mind (Seth Rollins' Curb Stomp) and sent him crashing back to the ground with a mid-air Raging Bolt (Goldberg-esque Spear) before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"My God! A mid-air Raging Bolt by the challenger, almost tearing him in half!" Beth exclaimed with a wince as Laxus pounded the mat in frustration before picking Shinji up, and throwing him into the corner. The crowd booed as Laxus did the cut-throat taunt towards Shinji before running into the corner multiple times, hitting Shinji with multiple Running Corner Knee Strikes to the face. However, when Laxus attempted a Running Single Leg Dropkick into the corner, Shinji was able to counter with a Step-Up Enziguri to the side of the head before climbing back up to the top rope and attempting to hit him with a Diving Crossbody, but Laxus countered this into a mid-air Single Leg Dropkick.

"OH! Laxus almost knocked Shinji's head clean off his body with that counter kick!" Okabe exclaimed as Laxus picked Shinji up in an Argentine Backbreaker position, hit him with an Argentine Backbreaker, and then hit him with an Iron Hammer (Tyler Reks' Burning Hammer). However, Laxus wasn't done as he deadlifted Shinji back to his feet, and hit him with a Spinebuster before throwing him back into the air for a Catch Exploder Suplex before going for another pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"How the hell did Shinji kick out all of that!?" Beth asked in shock as Laxus looked furious at the fact that Shinji had survived his onslaught. Laxus ran his hands through his blonde hair before picking him back up, flexing, and picking him up in a Stalling Vertical Suplex position. However, before Laxus could hit Shinji with the Roaring Thunder (Vertical Suplex Side Slam), Shinji began countering with multiple knee strikes to the side of the head. This allowed Shinji to escape Laxus' grip before hitting him with a Ripcord Knee Strike before running the ropes and hitting him with a Shotgun Dropkick into the corner. When Laxus bounced out of the corner, Shinji picked him back up in a Powerbomb position, the crowd exploding into cheers as Shinji ran into the corner, and threw Laxus into the corner with a Buckle Bomb.

"I think Shinji thought it was his turn to show off some strength, and a big Buckle Bomb like that is a great feat of strength!" Nigel exclaimed as Shinji put Laxus in a Front Facelock, and hit Laxus with a Tornado DDT. The crowd continued cheering as Shinji climbed up to the middle rope before attempting the Genesis Moonsault (Christopher Daniel's Best Moonsault Ever). However, Laxus rolled out of the way, forcing Shinji to roll into the corner, and when Laxus attempted to hit Shinji with another Raging Bolt (Goldberg-esque Spear), the crowd exploded into cheers as Shinji countered the Spear into a Pedigree before going for the pinfall, hooking both his legs back.

Ref: 1…2…

"Shinji countered the Spear into the Pedigree! But that's still not enough to put Laxus down for the three count!" Okabe exclaimed as Shinji looked shocked that Laxus had kicked out. Shinji then picked Laxus back up and hit him with several punches to the side of the head, and kicks to the side of the leg. However, Laxus grabbed him by the throat and attempted to hit him with a Chokeslam, but Shinji was able to flip back onto his feet and hit him with a Spin Kick to the gut. Shinji then ran the ropes, but Laxus dodged the Flying Kick that Shinji attempted. Laxus attempted to hit him with a Spinning Side Slam when he rebounded off the ropes, but Shinji was able to land on his feet, attempting to hit him with a DDT. Laxus, however, responded by pushing Shinji away and picking him up to hit him with a Spinning Facebuster, the crowd booing as Laxus ran the ropes to hit him with a Sliding Forearm to the side of the head.

"Oh! Laxus with the Sliding Forearm to Shinji's head, sending him into the ropes!" Beth exclaimed as Laxus then waited for Shinji to get back to his feet, hitting him with a Spinning Roundhouse Kick to the side of the head before knocking Shinji down to the ground with a Spinning Kick to the chest. However, while Laxus was basking in the negative reaction he was receiving, Shinji kipped back up to his feet, the crowd exploding into cheers as Shinji got into Laxus' face, and slapped him in the side of the face. The crowd cheered as Shinji and Laxus began brawling with each other in the middle of the ring, eventually pushing each other out of the ring through the middle rope.

"Laxus and Shinji throwing hands and pushing each other out of the ring! I hope they don't break our table too!" Nigel exclaimed as Shinji and Laxus continued exchanging punches on the outside, but Laxus was able to grab Shinji, pick him up, and push him into the timekeeper's area, sending him crashing through it. The crowd booed as Laxus walked back, and cracked his neck before waiting for Shinji to get back up to his feet, and when Shinji did, Laxus turned Shinji inside out with another Raging Bolt (Goldberg-Esque Spear). The crowd continued booing as Laxus picked Shinji up in a Military Press and threw him back into the ring from over the top rope.

"Laxus may have just ended the match right there!" Beth exclaimed as before he got back into the ring, Laxus turned around and gave Mirajane another kiss, the crowd booing as he climbed back onto the apron. However, while Laxus was trying to get back into the ring, the crowd exploded into cheers as Shinji got back up to his feet, and hit Laxus with a desperation Peace of Mind (Seth Rollins' Curb Stomp) while he was trying to get back into the ring. The crowd cheered and chanted for Shinji as both men were down on the canvas, with Shinji finally being able to roll over, and place am arm onto Laxus' chest.

Ref: 1…2…

"The referee was a hair away from counting to three, but Laxus is still in this match! I don't know how this is possible!" Nigel exclaimed as Shinji looked absolutely shocked that Laxus kicked out of the Peace of Mind (Seth Rollins' Curb Stomp). Shinji stomped on Laxus' head several times before climbing up to the top rope, the crowd cheering as he was preparing for a Super Peace of Mind (Seth Rollins' Super Curb Stomp). However, Laxus was able to get back to his feet and began hitting Shinji with multiple punches to the side of the head, but Shinji responded with multiple forearms to the side of the head and pushed him away. However, Laxus was able to run back into the corner, hitting Shinji with a Step-Up Enziguri. The crowd continued booing as Laxus climbed up to the top rope, hit him with multiple headbutts to the side of the head, and then put him in a Suplex position.

"I don't know what Laxus has planned here, but it looks like it's going to be devastating!" Beth exclaimed as Laxus put Shinji up in a Stalling Vertical Suplex position, flexed for the booing crowd, and then hit him with the Roaring Thunder (Vertical Suplex Side Slam) from the top rope before going for the pinfall.

*Bell Rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, and the new BTWF United States Champion, 'The God of Thunder' Laxus Dreyar!" Tim Barr announced, the crowd booing as Mirajane jumped up and down in celebration. The crowd continued booing as Mirajane ran over to the ringside attendant and grabbed the BTWF United States Championship before sliding back into the ring from underneath the bottom rope. While Laxus was pulling himself back up to his feet, Mirajane presented him the BTWF United States Championship, with Laxus smirking as he realized that he had become a champion.

"Laxus, after an insane match-up, has become the BTWF United States Champion after only two months on the Octane roster!" Nigel exclaimed in shock as Mirajane wrapped the BTWF United States Championship belt across Laxus' waist, fastening the belt. The crowd continued booing as Laxus flexed, showing off the BTWF United States Championship around his waist. Shinji, meanwhile, rolled out of the ring, holding his back in pain, the realization of him losing the BTWF United States Championship slowly coming down on him.

"Shinji's almost 11-month BTWF United States Championship reign has come to an end, and you can just see from the look on his face that he's almost as shocked as we are!" Beth exclaimed as Shinji sat up, his back pressing against the commentary table, looking down in disappointment while Laxus and Mirajane continued celebrating in the ring. Laxus then picked Mirajane up, put her on his back, and the two continued celebrating as pyro showered the ring, the crowd continuing to boo as Laxus told the fans to get used to their new champion. Laxus then turned to Shinji and told him that he was never going to get this championship back and that Laxus was going to take this BTWF United States Championship to the next level.

"And now, we wait to see how Laxus does as a champion, because if wrestling history has taught us anything, being a champion is a whole different beast than chasing a championship," Okabe noted as Laxus put Mirajane back down, opened up the ropes, and let Mirajane walk out before he did. While Laxus and Mirajane walked back up the entranceway, showing off the BTWF United States Championship, Shinji got back to his feet, ran his hands through his hair, and shook his head before walking away from the ringside area.

The camera panned to the backstage area where Valentino Calavera and Frida Suarez were celebrating Valentino's win earlier, with Todd Grisham standing next to them with a microphone in his hand. Todd and Valentino high-fived each other before Todd bent down to high-five Frida and started the interview.

"Congrats, Valentino! Your first StarShow and you scored a big victory against one of Rachel's cronies! How're you feeling!?" Todd asked excitedly as he gave Valentino a congratulatory pat on the shoulder. Before Valentino could answer, Frida kissed Valentino on the cheek, which he responded to with a kiss to the top of the head.

"I feel like I'm on top of the world. Not only did I shut Rachel up for a little while, not only did I get to come down to the ring with Homer Simpson himself, and not only did I beat Manny to a pulp, but I got my girl back by my side!" Valentino exclaimed, picking Frida up for a hug, but before Valentino or Frida could continue, a furious Rachel stomped over to the three, with Manny, Baam, Oso, and Jean following her.

"Shut me up!? Oh, if anything, you just made me louder! You and that little blue-haired slut aren't going to get away with this!" Rachel yelled into the microphone, poking her finger into Valentino's chest. Frida attempted to go after Rachel again, but Valentino put his arm in front of Frida, backing her away slightly.

"Look, if you got any more goons for me to go after, anytime and anywhere," Valentino responded, patting Frida on the head while his blue-haired girlfriend was still glaring at Rachel and the SuperNova. Rachel responded to Valentino's bravado with a chuckle while patting Jean in the chest.

"Oh, you're going to regret saying that, and YOU are going to regret coming back and assaulting me!" Rachel exclaimed to both Valentino and Frida before turning around and stomping away with the rest of SuperNova, except for Baam, leaving with her. Baam, still holding his Feast or Fired Briefcase, looked over at Valentino and gave him an apologetic shrug while giving Frida a small smile, welcoming her back to the BTWF.

"BAAM! Get over here!" Rachel yelled, prompting Baam to quickly wave 'goodbye' to Valentino and Frida before running over to the SuperNova and Rachel. The camera panned as Valentino looked exasperated as Todd and Frida patted his back, giving him some support.

The camera panned back to the stage, where Cody Rhodes' 'Only One Can Judge' theme song played, the crowd booing as Asuka walked out of the back, a hood covering her masked face. However, Asuka stopped at the center of the stage and pointed to the back, where rather than Alexis, several men and women dressed in black tie gear came out with paper bags in their hands. Asuka told the baggers to give the bags to the fans before she followed them down the entranceway.

"The following contest is a Street Fight scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Berlin Germany, Asuka Langley Soryu!" Tim Barr announced, the crowd continuing to boo while Asuka put her arms over her face, trying to prevent people from looking at her face. The fans continued booing at her and chanting 'You Are Ugly!', to which Asuka responded by continuing to tell the baggers to give the bags to the fans. Several fans got paper bags with eye holes and mouth holes and wore them on their faces, the camera focusing on them while Asuka continued covering her face.

"This has been a match that Asuka has been looking forward to since Erza broke her nose in December, causing her to miss the Battle Riot, and a chance to earn a Women's title match at StarShow," Nigel explained as when Asuka made it to the ringside area, Asuka took several deep breaths, and took her hooded ring jacket off, revealing her scowling face covered with the clear protective face mask. Asuka yelled at the booing fans not to look at her face and to put those bags over their heads. While more people in the audience got paper bags for their heads, Asuka walked up the steel steps and glared at the booing crowd before jumping up to the top rope, continuing to sneer at the crowd that were still chanting 'You Are Ugly!' at her.

"Asuka took Alexis out backstage, so this match should be a fair one-on-one match!" Beth exclaimed as Asuka continued glaring at the booing and chanting crowd before jumping down to the middle of the ring, stomping around the ring while going into the corner. Asuka then leaned against the corner, waiting for Erza to come out, and after a moment, 'I Want to Live' by Skillet played, the crowd cheering as Erza came walking out of the back with a sword in her hand. Erza lifted her sword up in the air, and as the crowd continued chanting 'Erza!' at her, Erza stabbed her sword through the stage, causing flames to shoot out of the stage.

"And her opponent, from Magnolia Fiore, 'Titania' Erza Scarlet!" Tim Barr announced as Erza left her sword at the center of the stage, stomping down to the ring, while flames continued shooting out of the stage. Erza continued staring down Asuka while stomping over to the ring and high-fiving some of the fans in the front row, with Erza pointing at a couple of pro-Erza signs in the front row. When Erza made it to the ringside area, a couple of the baggers that Asuka had brought to the ring with her attempted to block her from entering the ring. Erza looked at Asuka, completely annoyed that she was playing this card, while Asuka smirked at Erza, sarcastically waving at her.

"I don't know what Asuka has planned here, but Erza looks about as happy about this as the fans are!" Okabe exclaimed as Erza rolled her eyes before turning one of the baggers inside out with a Standing Lariat. Erza then grabbed another bagger and threw it into the steel steps before a couple of other baggers grabbed Erza by the arms, attempting to stop her from going into the ring. Erza, however, responded by throwing their heads into each other and throwing them overhead with a Double Suplex. However, as Erza turned around and attempted to get into the ring, Asuka knocked Erza down with a Running Baseball Slide Dropkick, prompting the referee to ring the bell.

"The baggers didn't stop Erza, but Asuka was able to use the distraction to her advantage!" Okabe exclaimed, realizing what Asuka had planned. Asuka then mounted Erza and hit her with multiple punches to the side of the head before picking her back up and attempting to throw her into the steel steps. However, the crowd cheered as Erza was able to jump over the steel steps, landing on the other side. Asuka responded by attempting to dive off the top of the steel steps, but Erza caught her and threw her into the corner with an Exploder Suplex. The crowd continued cheering as Erza picked Asuka back up, leaned her against the fan barricade, and hit her with multiple Knife-Edge Chops to the chest.

"Erza not taking Asuka's mind games lightly, chopping the Holy Hell out of her!" Beth exclaimed as when Asuka attempted to push her away, Erza knocked Asuka loopy with a Standing Discus Forearm to the side of the head, sending Asuka falling into a seated position in front of the fan barricade. Erza then backed up slightly, and hit a Running Knee Strike to Asuka's face, sending her head bouncing off of the fan barricade. Erza then picked Asuka up in a Military Press and dropped her throat first into the top of the fan barricade. Asuka grabbed her throat, pushing Erza away and trying to stagger towards the broken commentary table, but Erza caught up with her and hit her with a Running Clothesline to the back of the head.

"Erza's not letting Asuka get away from her! Erza's been looking for revenge for all the attacks Asuka has perpetrated on her since her return!" Nigel exclaimed as Erza mounted Asuka, and hit her with multiple punches to the side of the head, but the crowd booed as Asuka began raking Erza's eyes. The crowd booed as Asuka pushed Erza away with her feet, got back up to her feet, and clubbed her in the back multiple times before putting her in position for the DDT. However, Erza responded by lifting Asuka up and throwing her on top of the commentary table, the crowd cheering as she grabbed Erza in a Headlock and hit her with multiple punches to the side of the head.

"Erza not letting up here, almost trying to break the protective mask Asuka's been wearing for the past couple of months!" Okabe exclaimed as Asuka rolled off the table, and when Erza attempted to grab her again, Asuka hit Erza in the side of the head with one of the pieces of the broken Spanish commentary table. The crowd continued booing as Asuka got back to her feet, and hit Erza in the back with that same piece of broken table, sending Erza falling to her knees while holding her back in pain. Asuka smirked at the booing crowd before hitting Erza in the back of the head with the table piece hard enough for the piece to break into even smaller pieces.

"Asuka hitting Erza with enough force to crush that piece of table to smithereens!" Okabe exclaimed as Asuka picked Erza up by the hair, and smashed her face several times into the top of the commentary table. The crowd continued booing as Asuka clawed at Erza's face, yelling at Erza that it was because of her that she was ugly and that she was going to make Erza even uglier. Asuka then threw Erza into the steel ring post face first, the crowd continuing to boo and chant 'You Are Ugly!' at Asuka while she went underneath the ring, looking for weapons. Asuka produced a trash can full of kendo sticks, baseball bats, a length of barbed wire, a couple of small plastic bags, and a toolbox.

"Asuka finally looking for the toys! I was wondering how long it would take for them to come out!" Beth exclaimed as Asuka also grabbed several steel chairs, and threw them into the ring. Asuka grabbed Erza by the hair, hit her with several punches to the side of the head, and threw her back into the ring before going back under the ring, finding a couple of tables, and setting one up on the outside. Asuka then slid the other table into the ring from underneath the bottom rope, following it into the ring, stomping on Erza before she went into the trash can, and grabbed a baseball bat. The crowd roared in jeers as Asuka grabbed a steel chair, and placed it on top of Erza's face before twirling the baseball bat in her fingers.

"Oh God! Asuka's going to do to Erza what Sami Callihan did to Eddie Edwards years ago! She could break Erza's face!" Nigel exclaimed as Asuka readied the baseball bat for a strike, but the crowd cheered as Erza threw the chair into Asuka's face while still on the ground. Erza then grabbed the baseball bat that Asuka dropped and hit her in the back with the bat multiple times before throwing the baseball bat in Asuka's face, sending her staggering into the corner. The crowd continued cheering as Erza grabbed the steel chair and rammed it into Asuka's gut multiple times while she was in the corner.

"Erza knew what Asuka was going to do to her, and she's responding by trying to break pretty much every other bone in Asuka's body!" Okabe exclaimed as Erza hit Asuka with multiple Knife-Edge Chops across the chest before running the ropes, and hitting a Running Discus Corner Clothesline. Erza then grabbed the trash can and dumped all the weapons out of it before attempting to hit Asuka with the trash can, but Asuka responded by kicking Erza in the gut hard enough to cause her to drop the trash can. While Erza was keeled over, Asuka jumped onto the middle rope and attempted to hit her with a Middle Rope Bulldog, but Erza was able to catch Asuka in mid-air and hit her with a Sidewalk Slam that sent her crashing onto the trash can before going for the first pinfall of the match.

Ref: 1…2

"Erza almost crushed Asuka's back with that trash can/Sidewalk Slam combination, but Asuka's not giving up yet!" Beth exclaimed as Erza picked Asuka back up, threw her into the corner, ran the ropes, and hit Asuka with another Running Corner Clothesline with enough force for Erza to jump onto the apron. Erza then climbed back up to the top rope, attempting to hit Asuka with a Diving Brain Chop, but Asuka was able to hit Erza mid-dive with a kendo stick shot to the gut. The crowd booed as Asuka smirked at Erza while she was on her knees, mockingly kicking her in the side of the head before hitting her with several kendo stick shots to the back.

"Asuka now trying once again to torture Erza with the kendo stick! Look at the grimace on Erza's face!" Nigel exclaimed as Asuka yelled right in Erza's face before attempting to hit Erza in the chest with the kendo stick. However, the crowd cheered as Erza was able to catch it with her arm, and Asuka failed to pull the kendo stick out of Erza's grasp. However, Erza responded by hitting Asuka with a couple of headbutts to the head before pushing Asuka away and hitting her in the gut with the kendo stick. The crowd continued cheering as Erza continued striking Asuka in the back with the kendo stick before hitting Asuka with a White Russian Legsweep and going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

"Erza with an ode to the Sandman there with that White Russian Legsweep!" Beth exclaimed as Erza got back up to her feet, grabbed the table Asuka had put into the ring earlier, and set it up in the corner. The crowd continued cheering as Erza picked Asuka, and hit him with several punches to the side of the head before picking her up and attempting to hit her with a Powerbomb. However, Asuka countered with a couple of forearms to the side of the head, allowing herself to jump out of Erza's grasp. The crowd booed as Asuka hit her with a Jumping Knee Strike to the side of the head before running the ropes, but Erza countered with a Sit-Out Spinebuster onto the squashed trash can.

"OH! I didn't think that trash can could be any more destroyed, but that Spinebuster from Erza did just that!" Beth exclaimed as Asuka rolled out of the ring, holding her back in pain. However, Erza ran the ropes and hit Asuka with a Somersault Senton to the outside, the crowd continuing to cheer as Erza picked Asuka up by the legs, and attempted to send her through the table on the outside with a Reverse Alabama Slam. However, Asuka was able to slip out of it, attempting to once again roll away from her, but Erza picked her up and attempted to deadlift her for a German Suplex. However, Asuka hit her with multiple back elbows to the side of the head, and threw her into the steel steps chest first, the crowd booing as Asuka ran up the steel steps, and began stomping the back of Erza's head into the steel steps.

"Dear Lord! Asuka's stomping Erza's face into the hard steel steps!" Nigel exclaimed while wincing as Asuka grabbed Erza's head, and stuffed it in the hole between the steel steps and the steel ring post. The crowd booed as Asuka stomped on Erza's head one more time before jumping off the steel steps, letting out a guttural growl, and hitting a Running Dropkick into the steps, sending Erza's head crushed between the steel ring steps and the steel post. The crowd continued booing as Asuka pulled Erza out of the hole, where it was revealed that Erza was bleeding from the side of the head.

"Asuka's said that her main goal tonight was to make Erza uglier than she had made her, and Asuka is doing a pretty good job of that right now," Okabe explained while wincing as Asuka threw her back into the ring. The crowd continued booing as Asuka climbed back up to the top rope, and hit Erza in the back with a Diving Knee Drop before going for the pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.

Ref: 1…2..

Asuka immediately grabbed another weapon, this time grabbing the toolbox. The crowd booed as Asuka pulled out a couple of screws from the toolbox, grabbed Erza by the hair, and jammed one of the screws into the open wound on the side of Erza's head, causing her to scream out loud.

"Oh, that is just nasty! You can see the blood pouring onto the screw!" Beth exclaimed while wincing as Asuka ran the ropes, and hit a seated Erza with a Running Big Boot to the side of the head. The crowd continued booing as Asuka grabbed the toolbox, and hit her in the back with it multiple times before putting Erza's head on top of the toolbox, and stomped the back of her head, sending her face into the toolbox. Asuka then picked the toolbox back up and waited for Erza to get back to her feet. When she did, Asuka hit Erza in the side of the head with the toolbox, sending her staggering into the corner, her face pressed against the top turnbuckle. Asuka then turned her attention to the referee and took off the belt around her pants before reaching into the toolbox and pulling out a pair of handcuffs.

"I don't know why handcuffs are inside a toolbox, but I don't think Asuka really cares about that right now!" Nigel exclaimed as Asuka went into the apron, and handcuffed Erza's hands together and in front of the steel ring post. Asuka then tightened her grip on the belt, and whipped Asuka's back several times, reveling in Erza's screams of pain while the blood continued pouring out of the side of her head. Asuka yelled at Erza that she deserved all of this before whipping her in the back more times, making sure to allow the steel part of the belt to hit Erza in the back.

"Asuka whipping Erza in the back! You can hear Erza's cries of pain over the jeering of the crowd!" Nigel exclaimed as Asuka continued whipping Erza until she suddenly decided to wrap the belt around Erza's throat and strangle her. Asuka yelled at the booing crowd that Erza deserved all of this before finally letting her go, with Erza's head dangling over the top rope. Asuka jumped over the top rope and hit Erza in the side of the head with a Running Knee Strike to the side of the head. Asuka then grabbed both of Erza's handcuffed hands, pulled them over the ring post, and pushed her back into the ring. The crowd continued booing as Asuka went down underneath the ring, and pulled out two more tables before sliding them back into the ring.

"Asuka getting more tables, and with Erza still handcuffed, there's nothing that she can really do about it!" Nigel exclaimed as Asuka playfully kicked Erza in the side of the head, and while Erza was trying to pull herself up, Asuka hit her with multiple punches to the side of the head. Asuka continued yelling at Erza before running the ropes and hitting her with a Running Knee Strike to the back of the head. Asuka then grabbed the two tables, setting one of them up in the middle of the ring, and set the other one in another corner before hitting Erza with a Running Knee Drop across her head before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

"Erza's bleeding out like a stuffed pig, and she's still able to push her shoulders off the mat!" Okabe exclaimed as Asuka looked shocked at the outcome before pulling Erza up to her knees, and hitting her with multiple punches to the side of the head. Asuka then spat in Erza's head and yelled in her face before picking her up, and attempted to hit her with a Powerbomb into a corner through the table. However, the crowd exploded into cheers as Erza was able to counter by sending Asuka through the table with a Hurricanrana. Erza fell onto the ground and began pulling her hands, attempting to break the handcuffs, and after a minute, the crowd's cheers continued as Erza freed herself from the handcuffs.

"Erza freed herself from the handcuffs! And she looks ready to go on an absolute rampage!" Beth exclaimed as Erza threw the broken pieces of handcuffs on the floor, picked Asuka up, and began hitting her with multiple punches to the side of the head. Erza turned around and roared towards the cheering crowd before running the ropes and hitting Asuka with a Running Body Corner Avalanche before hitting her with a Spinning Back Elbow to the side of the head. Erza then threw Asuka out of the corner with an Overhead Release Belly-to-Belly Suplex, the crowd continuing to cheer as Erza grabbed one of the kendo sticks in the ring, and began hitting Asuka in the back multiple times.

"Erza giving Asuka a taste of her medicine, breaking the Kendo Stick across her back!" Nigel exclaimed as Erza threw the kendo stick onto the ground, grabbed the belt that Asuka had used on her, and whipped Asuka in the back multiple times with it, enough for Asuka to roll out of the ring. Erza didn't stop as she jumped up to the top rope and hit Asuka with a Diving Clothesline from the top rope, the crowd continuing to cheer as Erza pounded the top of the commentary table in celebration. Erza then grabbed Asuka by the throat and threw her on top of the commentary table face-first before hitting her with several punches to the side of the head. Erza then picked Asuka up and hit her with a Back Suplex that sent her crashing onto the steel ring apron.

"If those kendo stick shots didn't do it, being dropped on the steel ring post definitely hurt her back!" Okabe exclaimed as Erza turned Asuka around, jumped onto the apron, and hit her with a Running Senton to the back. Erza then threw Asuka off of the apron and hit her with another Running Diving Senton to the chest, the crowd continuing to cheer as Erza grabbed one of the monitors from the broken Spanish commentary table, and hit Asuka in the back of the head with the monitor before beginning to strangle her with the chord of the monitor. However, after almost a minute of being choked, Asuka pushed Erza back first into the English commentary table, sending her back bouncing off the edges of the commentary table.

"Ouch! I just saw Erza's back bend from the impact of her hitting our announce table!" Nigel exclaimed while wincing as Asuka threw Erza back into the ring, the crowd booing as Asuka climbed back up to the top rope, attempting to hit Erza with a Diving Crossbody, but Erza countered by hitting a mid-air Asuka with a Sit-Down Spinebuster. The crowd continued cheering as Erza grabbed one of the plastic bags, opened it, and smirked before spilling its contents onto the ring, the crowd's cheers growing louder as the contents of the bag were revealed to be thumbtacks.

"Jesus…thumbtacks are now at play here, and I am dreading for whichever woman goes through those thumbtacks!" Okabe exclaimed as Erza picked Asuka up by both her legs, and attempted to drop her into the thumbtacks with an Alabama Slam. The crowd, however, booed as Asuka began hitting Erza in the back of the knee with punches before being able to escape her grasp. The crowd's jeers continued as Asuka attempted to Suplex Erza into the pile of thumbtacks, but Erza was able to keep herself on her feet. However, when Erza attempted to hit Asuka with a Gourdbuster into the thumbtacks, the crowd booed as Asuka hit Erza with multiple knee strikes to the gut, pushed her away, and hit her with a Savate Kick to the side of the head.

"Asuka and Erza keeping themselves from going through the thumbtacks, but the question is how long that will last," Okabe noted as Asuka springboarded off the middle rope, and attempted to hit her with a Beautiful Disaster Kick, but Erza was able to catch Asuka in mid-air. The crowd continued cheering as Erza sent Asuka crashing through the table with a Spinning Sit-Out Powerbomb before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

Erza looked completely shocked at the fact that Asuka had kicked out but immediately responded by grabbing the plastic table liner and beginning to whip Asuka once again with the liner. The crowd continued cheering as Asuka turned around, and tried to beg Erza off, even apologizing for what she had put her through. However, Erza didn't listen to her and continued whipping her in the back and the top of the head before deadlifting her up for a Vertical Suplex. However, Asuka hit Erza in the top of the head with a headbutt that was enhanced with her protective mask.

"Asuka, thanks to a shot with the mask, escapes whatever Erza had planned there!" Nigel exclaimed as Asuka continued hitting Erza in the side of the head with more protective mask headbutts, sending Erza staggering into the ropes. Asuka then ran the ropes and knocked Erza onto the apron with a Running Clothesline, the crowd booing as Asuka hit Erza with a couple of punches to the side of the head before putting her in position for a Russian Legsweep. However, Erza attempted to fight back hitting several Back Elbows to the side of the head, pushing her away before hitting her with a Jumping Knee. Erza then noticed the table behind them and smirked before picking Asuka up in a Fireman's Carry position, the crowd cheering and chanting 'Yes!' at her.

"Erza's about to send Asuka crashing through another table!" Beth exclaimed in excitement as Asuka raked Erza in the eye, the crowd booing as she slipped out of Erza's grip again, and hit her with a couple more headbutts with her protective mask-covered face. The crowd continued booing as Asuka flipped the fans off before throwing Erza and herself off the apron and through the table on the outside with a Russian Legsweep. The crowd continued cheering and chanting 'Holy Shit!' as Erza and Asuka writhed around in pain while pushing away broken pieces of the table. Erza and Asuka began pulling themselves back up to their feet after a minute of being down on the ground, the two exchanging punches in front of the commentary teams.

"These two are being fueled by unbridled hate! They're trying to break orbital bones and give out black eyes with these punches!" Nigel exclaimed as Asuka stopped the brawl by digging her thumbs into Erza's eyes before picking her back up, and nailing her with a Brainbuster onto the ring apron. Asuka shook her head, yelling at the booing fans that this wasn't over by a long shot before sliding back into the ring and hitting Erza with another Brainbuster before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

Asuka pounded the mat in frustration and mounted Erza to hit her with multiple elbow strikes to the top of the head before picking her back up, dragging her towards the thumbtacks, and attempting to hit her with the Grotesque (Paige's Ram-Paige DDT). However, Erza responded by pushing Asuka away, hitting her with a Superkick to the side of the head, and hitting her with a Running Death Valley Driver onto the thumbtacks, the crowd exploded into cheers as Asuka screamed out in pain, but Erza wasn't done. Erza grabbed a steel chair, climbed up to the top rope, and hit Asuka with a chair-assisted Diving Elbow Drop to the chest before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

The crowd booed as Alexis Rhodes ran down to the ring, and broke up the pinfall with a baseball bat shot to the back.

"Alexis is here! She grabbed one of the baseball bats from the ring, and hit Erza right in the back!" Beth exclaimed in annoyance as Alexis rolled Erza off of Asuka, and hit her with multiple baseball bat shots to the chest. The crowd continued booing as Alexis began pressing her foot onto Erza's throat, yelling at her that it was her fault that the Beautiful People were gone. Alexis mounted Erza, and began hitting her with punches before picking her up, and attempting to hit her with the Beauty Has a Price (Fallaway Spinout Facebuster), but the crowd cheered as Erza was able to fight out of it, hitting Alexis in the side of the head with several Back Elbows to the side of the head.

"Erza still trying to fight back, not wanting the remnants of the Beautiful People to get the better of her on the Grandest Stage of them All!" Okabe exclaimed as Erza grabbed the baseball bat from Alexis' hands, and hit her in the gut with the baseball bat a couple of times. Meanwhile, Asuka, while struggling to stand back to her feet, broke one of the kendo sticks in half, and before Erza could hit Alexis with the baseball bat, Asuka started jamming the broken kendo stick into Erza's head, the crowd booing louder as Erza attempted to push Asuka away. Erza yelled out in pain while Asuka continued stabbing the broken kendo stick into the side of her head before smashing that piece in half by hitting Erza on the top of the head with it and going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"I don't know how Erza is still in this, but the referee may have to check on Erza with all the blood that she's lost," Nigel noted as Asuka and Alexis began stomping on a bloodied and beaten Erza, who struggled to try and get back to her feet. Alexis then picked Erza up, and hit her with Beauty Has a Price (Fallaway Spinout Facebuster), allowing Asuka to go for another pinfall, hooking both of her legs back.

Ref: 1…2…

Asuka pounded the mat in frustration while Alexis screamed at the referee after Erza lifted her shoulder off the mat.

"Erza may need to just stay down here. Look at the pool of blood that's behind her head," Beth noted as Alexis and Asuka picked Erza back up, with Asuka screaming in Erza's face that they were going to end her permanently. Asuka then grabbed the baseball bat and yelled at Erza that she was going to break her face before attempting to hit Erza in the face with that bat. However, the crowd exploded into cheers as Erza ducked out of the way, sending the baseball bat crashing into Alexis' face.

"Erza's fighting back, and Alexis might have had her face broken by that baseball bat!" Nigel exclaimed as Erza ran the ropes, and knocked both Alexis and Asuka back down with a Double Single Leg Dropkick. The crowd continued cheering as Erza picked Asuka and Alexis up, put them both on their shoulders and sent them through the table in the corner with a Double Death Valley Driver. The crowd continued cheering as Erza threw Asuka down, and hit Alexis with a Running TKO onto the thumbtacks. Erza then walked over to Asuka, blood dripping from her face and onto Asuka's mask. The crowd continued cheering as Erza stomped on Asuka's face mask multiple times before picking her back up, sending Asuka crashing through the other table in the middle of the ring with the Heaven's Wheel (Rolling Death Valley Driver) and going for the pinfall.

*Bell Rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, 'Titania' Erza Scarlet!" Tim Barr announced, the crowd continuing to cheer as Erza fell to the floor, panting heavily while medical personnel came into the ring to check on her. While her music played, several medical personnel began wiping the blood off of her face and out of her eyes. Several other medical personnel entered the ring, checking on both Asuka and Alexis while Erza began pulling herself back to her feet, much to the delight of the crowd who were still chanting her name.

"Erza lost what seemed like gallons of blood, and blood is all over the ring canvas, but in the end, she finally is able to put the Beautiful People behind her!" Nigel exclaimed as Erza went over to the corner, pulled herself back to the top turnbuckle, and raised both her fists in the air, the crowd cheering louder while continuing to chant her name. Erza let out a victory yell before jumping down to the canvas, and rolling out of the ring, taking in the adulation of the fans while wiping some excess blood off her face.

"Erza's future is as bright as the lights in this arena! Erza's one of the top picks to be a future champion in the BTWF!" Beth exclaimed as in the ring, Asuka looked furious as she was helped up by medical personnel, trying to push them away while Alexis could barely keep her eyes open while the medical personnel tried to pull as many of the thumbtacks out of her as they could. Asuka yelled at the medical personnel to check her face and her protective mask, the crowd continuing to chant for Erza as the red-haired winner of the match high-fived multiple fans while heading back up to the stage.

"My question is what's next for Asuka after this loss here tonight, especially after all the promises she made of ending Erza's career and her looks," Okabe noted as Erza grabbed her sword from the center of the stage, and raised it over her head, causing more pyro to go off not only on the stage, but around the star-shaped TitanTrons around her. The crowd continued celebrating Erza's victory while Asuka continued telling the medical personnel to check on her face while others were continuing to remove the thumbtacks from Alexis' body.

The camera panned to the backstage interview area, where Jack Korpela was standing next to the new BTWF World Tag Team Champions Death the Kid & Shoto Todoroki with a microphone in his hand.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the new BTWF World Tag Team Champions Death the Kid and Shoto Todoroki. Gentlemen, I'm here to ask you how you're feeling right now holding your first titles in the BTWF," Korpela asked as Todoroki volunteered to go first, pulling the microphone closer to his face.

"Since I've come to the BTWF, I've made it my mission to become a champion like my father could never do. I may have failed to capture the BTWF Championship and win the Battle Riot, but the BTWF World Tag Team Championships are the perfect stepping stone in my career. I've also heard that my older brother, Dabi, is planning on becoming a tag team champion in DFW (Draconic Fury Wrestling) before me. And all I have to say to that is…too little too late," Todoroki said with a smirk on his face, patting his BTWF World Tag Team Championship belt while it was sitting on his shoulder. Korpela then moved the microphone in front of Kid's mouth, while he was still looking at his BTWF World Tag Team Championship in amazement and relief.

"You know, going into this match, I was a complete nervous wreck. Some fans may not think it's important that I lose a chance at the BTWF World Tag Team Championships, but I've been dealing with Joe, Bonifer, and their ilk since I came into the BTWF, and my goal was to break that group for everything they've been doing to me since my debut. And after what I saw on the outside, I got what I wanted and I became a champion. As far as I'm concerned, it's a win-win for me," Kid explained before Korpela nodded, pulling the microphone back in front of his mouth while Todoroki and Kid high-fived each other before Korpela began speaking again.

"Now that you two are the BTWF World Tag Team Champions, you have Legacy coming after you at our next PPV, War of Attrition. Do you have any thoughts on a future match between the two of you, and Sting & Rogue?" Korpela asked as Todoroki nodded in response before pulling the microphone back to the front of his mouth.

"Sting and Rouge once tried to ask me to join the Legacy, because they believed that I wanted to be like them; two egotistical snobs who think that they can rest on their laurels and use their parents' legacies to pretend that they're superstars. Unlike them, I've tried to carve my own path away from my family, and as you can see right now, it's been working. Me and Kid have worked too hard for this championship to simply lie down and let the Legacy have it. At War of Attrition, me and Kid are going to make sure that the Legacy-" Todoroki attempted to explain before Dutch Van Der Linde came up to them with a smirk on his face, laughing at them.

"Bravo, boys. Y'all did a fantastic job in that match. Reminded me a little bit of…me and Arthur. But I really do hope you enjoy your time with those titles because it ain't gonna be a long time," Dutch said with the smirk never leaving his face. Kid walked in front of Todoroki, put the BTWF World Tag Team Championship belt in his hands, and showed it off to Dutch.

"Like Todoroki said, we've worked for these belts too hard to let you guys come in and steamroll us. We're going to be holding these titles for as long as we damn well please," Kid said while walking right up to Dutch, who backed away with his hands in the air, though the smirk was still plastered on his face.

"Oh, boys, I ain't gonna attack you. But they are," Dutch said, pointing to his right. As soon as Kid and Todoroki turned around, Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney ran up to the BTWF World Tag Team Champions and began brawling with them. Despite being exhausted from their previous match, Todoroki and Kid fought back against the #1 contenders. While the fight raged on, Dutch put an arm around the back of Korpela's neck, his trademark smirk still evident on his face.

"Look at that, Korpela. My boys are gonna give our new champs the fight of their lives," Dutch said with a laugh before multiple security guards came rushing in, grabbing Sting and Rogue, and attempting to pull them away from Todoroki and Kid. However, Kid and Todoroki didn't back down, the two continuing the brawl while security struggled to separate them, greatly entertaining Dutch, who was still subtly making Korpela watch with his arm still around the back of Korpela's neck.

The camera panned back to the stage, where the lights in the arena went down, the crowd cheering as the camera focused on top of one of the star-shaped TitanTrons, where Sam Simpson was standing on top next to a zip line. The crowd exploded into cheers as 'Say Cheese' by Poppy played, Sam grabbing the t-bar, and jumping off the top of the star-shaped TitanTron, going down the zip-line. The crowd continued cheering as Sam made her way down from the top of the TitanTrons to the ground, nodding at the crowd's positive reaction to her before

"The following contest is a Fatal-4-Way match scheduled for one fall, and it is for the BTWF World Women's Championship! Introducing the challengers, first, from Beverly Hills California, Sam Simpson!" Tim Barr announced, the crowd continuing to cheer and chant her name as she continued flying down the zip-line while fans were taking pictures at this impressive entrance. Sam then jumped off of the t-bar, and dived off onto the ringside area with a 450 motion, landing right on her feet. The camera then focused on Sam's attire, which was a yellow and black jumpsuit, a reference to Beatrix 'The Bride' Kiddo from the Kill Bill franchise.

"Sam has been gunning for the BTWF World Women's Championship since her return to the BTWF, saying that she would take care of Clover after she becomes the BTWF World Women's Champion!" Nigel exclaimed as Sam took off her ring jacket, running her hands through her shortened red hair before slapping both sides of her face to psyche herself up. The crowd continued cheering as Sam ran into the ring, sliding from underneath the bottom rope, kipping back up to her feet, and jumping back up to the top rope. The crowd continued cheering as Sam raised both of her fists in the air, and told the camera that Sam Simpson was here to stay and that she was heading straight to the top.

"If Sam wants any chance at becoming the BTWF World Women's Champion, she needs to put Clover in the back of her mind for now and focus on the three world-class competitors she's going to have in front of her," Okabe responded as Sam jumped down from the top rope, and sat in the corner, waiting for her opponents. After a moment, the lights went down once again, the camera panning to a single spotlight shining on the top of a large platform, the crowd booing when they realized that Akira was on top of the platform. Akira looked to the sky with her arms outstretched, wearing a black and red robe, the crowd continuing to boo as the platform lowered with the spotlight continuing to shine down on her.

"Speaking of focus, there's only one thing this woman is focused on, and that's herself!" Beth exclaimed as the spotlight finally reached the center of the stage, the crowd continuing to boo as Akira walked off the platform. Once she did, 'Ladies and Gentlemen' by Saliva played, and she responded by walking down the entranceway, her arms still outstretched while her eyes were focused on the sky. Akira continued to walk down the aisle, ignoring the booing crowd while she continued to bask in her own glory. Once she made it to the middle of the aisleway, Akira looked down at the booing crowd, simply shaking her head before she continued walking, brushing off the fans giving her a negative reaction.

"And her opponent, from the Asahi Ward in Yokohama Japan, she is 'The Spotlight' Akira Hayami!" Tim Barr announced as when Akira made it to the ringside area, she took her robe off, throwing it to the ground before she made her way to the steel steps. The spotlight continued following Akira as she walked up the steel steps and jumped up to the top rope, telling the fans to bask in the spotlight. The crowd continued booing and chanting 'Akira Sucks!' at her, but Akira ignored this as she jumped down to the canvas, walked to the center of the ring, and once again outstretched her arms in the middle of the ring.

"Akira has been targeting Sherry Blendy and the Sisterhood of Darkness, trying to take the BTWF World Women's Championship away from her, but much like one of the other challengers tonight, Rei Ayanami, she's also been screwed out of title shots by the Sisterhood!" Nigel exclaimed as Akira walked to another corner of the ring, stretching while smirking at Sam. The camera then panned to the stage, where synthetic snow began falling all over the arena, the crowd exploding into cheers as the arena turned light blue. While the snow continued falling, a large glass ball came down to the center of the stage, and when the camera focused on the glass ball, it revealed Rei Ayanami sitting in the ball with a white and light blue robe adorned with snowflakes and stars.

"And speaking of Rei, she's got her own fantastical entrance for the biggest show in Fanfiction wrestling!" Beth exclaimed as 'Shatter Me' by Lindsey Sterling (feat. Lzzy Hale) played, the crowd exploding into cheers as the glass ball she was in shattered, allowing Rei to sit up and walk out of the remnants of her orb. Rei looked at the cheering crowd around the filled stadium, her lips curling into a small smile before she continued walking down the entranceway. Rei walked down the entranceway, keeping her arms outstretched while turning her body, revealing the back of her robe, which revealed the words 'Shining Ace' bedazzled.

"And their opponent, from Tokyo Japan, she is 'The Shining Ace' Rei Ayanami!" Tim Barr announced, the crowd continuing to cheer as Rei turned her attention back to the ring, outstretching her arms as pyro shot out of the stage and the sides of the star-shaped TitanTrons. Rei then walked over to the ring, jumped onto the ring apron, and jumped to the top turnbuckle before taking her robe off and throwing it down onto the floor. Rei then cartwheeled from the top rope to the center of the ring, pointing up to the sky while the synthetic snow continued falling around the arena.

"Rei had her BTWF World Women's Championship reign ended by the leader of the Sisterhood of Darkness, Sherry Blendy, and has been determined to get it back since. However, she also does have issues with Akira dating back to last year," Nigel explained as Rei turned her attention towards Sam and Akira, nodding in respect towards Sam, and shooting the self-proclaimed Spotlight a glare. Rei then went into her own corner before the lights in the arena turned red, the crowd booing as on the stage, a giant box was wheeled to the ring, the plastic window in front revealing Sherry Blendy, her eyes closed as if she was sleeping. On the bottom of the box, it was labeled 'BTWF World Women's Champion; Sherry Blendy'. The crowd began booing as Medusa Gorgon walked out of the back with the BTWF World Women's Championship in her hands.

"I don't know what's going on here, but I can feel chills running down my spine," Beth noted as Medusa pulled out Sherry's miniature spiked staff, opening the side of the box. When the box was fully opened, Sherry's eyes shot open as she walked out of the box, her hair dyed red, freckles painted on her cheeks, scars being drawn on her face, and her usual white and black dress was replaced with a pair of blue overalls being worn over a long-sleeved shirt with colorful stripes adorned all over it. Sherry ran her hands through her hair as rather than her normal theme song, 'Assault and Batteries' by Ice Nine Kills played.

"And their opponent, accompanied to the ring by Medusa Gorgon and representing the Sisterhood of Darkness, now residing on Galuna Island, she is the BTWF World Women's Champion, Sherry Blendy!" Tim Barr announced, the crowd continuing to boo as Sherry walked down the entranceway with Medusa following her, showing off the BTWF World Women's Championship to the jeering crowd. Sherry, once she made it to the middle of the stage, put her hand out, which Medusa responded to by giving Sherry her miniature spiked staff back. Sherry then lifted the staff up, prompting multiple dolls and puppets to rise from the stage and raise their fists in the air, chanting 'All Hail Sherry' in creepy child-like voices.

"One thing we've discussed about Sherry is that she, like the rest of the Sisterhood, can win matches before they even start thanks to the off-putting aura she puts out. Even the three seasoned veterans in the ring seem perturbed by this entrance by the BTWF World Women's Champion," Okabe explained as Sherry fell to her knees at the ringside area, smiling at her opponents with her tongue sticking out as Medusa continued raising the BTWF World Women's Championship over her head. Sherry then kipped back up to her feet, and slid into the ring through the bottom rope before crawling to the center of the ring like a spider, looking at all three of her opponents before crawling over the ropes, and biting down on the middle rope.

"They may be freaked out now, but when the bell sounds and the BTWF World Women's Championship is on the line, those fears fly out the window!" Nigel exclaimed as Medusa gave the championship to the referee, raising it over her head before handing it to one of the ringside attendants. Once all four women confirmed that they were ready, the referee told the timekeeper to ring the bell and start the match. Once the match was officially underway, Akira and Rei ran up to each other and began exchanging strikes while Sherry and Sam did the same thing, the crowd cheering as the four women started this match with a brawl.

"All four women exchanging punches in the early-goings of this match, showing just how hate-filled the rivalries between these women have gotten!" Nigel exclaimed as Akira hit Rei in the side of the head with a couple of Headbutts before throwing her out of the ring. Akira then followed her out of the ring and began clubbing Rei in the back multiple times, the crowd booing as Akira playfully slapped Rei in the back of the head. Meanwhile, in the ring, Sam hit Sherry with a couple of kicks to the legs before hitting her with a hard kick to the gut and throwing her into the corner. Sam attempted to follow her into the corner with a Running Corner Forearm, but Sherry was able to counter with a Pendulum Kick to the side of the head.

"Sherry may be someone who loves to scare the living crap out of her opponents, but she can also wrestle and knows how to use the ring like a friend," Beth explained as Sherry climbed up to the top rope, attempting to hit Sam with a Diving Crossbody, but the crowd exploded into cheers as Sam was able to counter with a Catch Fallaway Slam. Meanwhile, outside of the ring, Rei was able to counter one of Akira's attempted punches with several European Uppercuts, but Akira was able to counter one of those uppercuts with a headbutt straight to the chin. Akira picked Rei up, and attempted to hit her with a Spotlighter (F-5) into the steel ring post, the crowd booed as Akira yelled that she was going to break Rei's leg.

"Akira's done this before, and it almost snapped Rei's leg in half!" Beth exclaimed in worry as Rei was able to counter the Spotlighter (F-5) into a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors, sending Akira's face crashing right into the steel ring post. The crowd continued cheering as Rei went onto the apron, and ran back at Akira, hitting her with a Drive-By Dropkick to the side of her head, sending Akira staggering away from the steel ring post. Rei wasn't done yet, as she ran to another side of the ring, and springboarded onto Akira, hitting her with a Springboard Twisting Asai Moonsault.

"Rei using multiple rotations to add more force and torque to that Asai Moonsault! Incredible!" Okabe exclaimed as back inside the ring, Sam threw Sherry into another corner and hit her with several Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before running the ropes and hitting her with a Running Corner Forearm to the side of the head. Sam ran the ropes, attempting to hit Sherry with a Discus Running Corner Forearm, but Sherry was able to dodge, sending Sam crashing into the corner before Sherry hit several forearms of her own to the side of Sam's head. The crowd began booing as Sherry ran into the corner and hit Sam in the chest and throat with a Running Spinning Corner Leg Lariat. Sherry then used her leg strength to throw Sam out of the corner before jumping onto the middle rope and attempting to hit a stunned Sam with a Diving Middle Rope European Uppercut, but Sam was able to counter with a Tiger Suplex, bridging into a pin.

The crowd cheered as Rei springboarded back into the ring, hitting Sam with a Springboard Corkscrew Crossbody once she got back to her feet.

"Rei coming back into this match with another Corkscrew dive!" Nigel exclaimed as Rei picked Sam up, and hit her with a Gourdbuster that sent her chest crashing into Sherry's back. The crowd continued cheering as Rei picked Sherry up, and hit her with several European Uppercuts to the chin. Rei then hit Sherry with a Snap Vertical Suplex before attempting to hit Sherry with a Springboard Middle Rope Moonsault, but Sherry responded by lifting her knees up, sending Rei's gut crashing into her knees before she rolled Rei up with a Small Package.

Ref: 1…

"Sherry almost snuck out of Las Vegas with the championship still around her waist!" Nigel exclaimed as Sherry picked Rei up, and hit her with multiple knees to the gut before attempting to pick her up for a Suplex, but Rei pushed her away. Rei attempted to hit her with a Discus Forearm, but Sherry was able to knock her down with a Spinning Wheel Kick, the crowd booing before Sam hit Sherry with a Shotgun Dropkick that sent Sherry flying through the ropes and onto the floor. The crowd continued cheering as Sam ran the ropes, and hit Sherry with a Running Suicide Dive that sent Sherry's back crashing against the commentary table.

"Good Lord! Sherry almost landed right on top of our commentary table!" Nigel exclaimed as Sam grabbed Sherry by the head while her back was leaning against the commentary table, and hit her with multiple punches to the side of the head. Sherry fought back with a couple of Open-Palm Strikes to the side of the head before putting her in a headlock, hitting her with multiple elbows to the back of the head. Sam pushed her away and hit Sherry with another forearm to the face, but the crowd continued cheering as Rei ran the ropes, and vaulted over the top rope, knocking both women down with a Vaulting Somersault Senton.

"Rei knocking both her opponents down with that beautiful Somersault Senton!" Nigel exclaimed as Rei picked Sherry back up to her feet, and hit her with several forearms to the side of the face, sending her staggering towards the steel ring apron. However, before Rei could continue the attack, Sam turned her around and hit her with several Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before hitting her with several headbutts to the side of the head. Sam then put Rei in a double underhook position, attempting to hit her with a Double Underhook Neckbreaker, but Sherry responded by clubbing Sam in the back. However, while the three were brawling on the outside, Akira was beginning to climb up to the top rope, the crowd curious about what the Spotlight had planned.

"Akira looks to take advantage of the brawl that's going on in front of us, but what she has planned, I have no idea!" Okabe exclaimed as Akira balanced herself on the top rope, and while Rei, Sam, and Sherry continued brawling, Akira dived off the top rope, hitting all three women with a Shooting Star Press to the outside. The crowd booed while also chanting 'Holy Shit!' at the surprising dive from the powerhouse of the match. Akira continued the onslaught by grabbing Rei and throwing her into the steel steps hard enough to send the top of the steps falling off. Akira then picked Sam up, put her into a powerbomb position, and threw her through the barricade surrounding the timekeeper's area with a Powerbomb.

"Oh God! Akira is definitely going to be the talk of this match if she keeps doing crazy stuff like that!" Beth exclaimed as Akira grabbed Sherry, and threw her overhead with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex onto the padded concrete floor. Akira then looked at Rei, who was beginning to stand back up and attempted to knock her back down with a Big Boot, but Rei was able to dodge and push Akira into the fan barricade chest-first. The crowd continued cheering as Rei turned Akira around, and attempted to hit her with a German Suplex into the steel steps, but Akira responded by hitting Rei with multiple Back Elbows to the side of the head and pushing her away. Akira then grabbed part of the steel steps and put them over her head while Rei was trying to shake the cobwebs out of her head.

"Oh God! Akira has the steel steps in her hands! I know this isn't going to end well!" Okabe exclaimed as Akira hit Rei in the face with the steel steps, sending her falling down to the floor. The crowd continued booing as Akira hit Rei in the sides with the steel steps several times before throwing them down on her back. Akira then put a foot over a now-bleeding Rei, outstretching her arms and telling the crowd to bask in her glory, the crowd responding with boos. Akira wiped the blood off her face, and walked over to Sherry, grabbing her by the hair before throwing her back into the ring.

"Akira's laid out all three of her opponents with ease, and now is focusing on the champion, Sherry Blendy!" Nigel exclaimed as Akira threw Sherry into the corner, and hit her with multiple Shoulder Thrusts to the chest before sliding away from the ring and hitting Sherry with a Running Corner Clothesline to the throat. Akira didn't stop there, hitting Sherry with multiple Standing Corner Clotheslines before throwing Sherry out of the corner and into the ropes. Sherry rebounded and attempted to jump over Akira, but she caught Sherry in mid-air and sent her crashing down to the mat with a Scoop Powerslam before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2

"Akira overpowering the Sisterhood member here, and this has to feel good to the Spotlight because remember that Akira has had her own issues with Sherry and the Sisterhood, being beaten down by the Sisterhood multiple times and being screwed out of the BTWF World Women's Championship multiple times thanks to the Sisterhood!" Nigel explained as Akira mounted Sherry, and hit her with multiple forearms to the side of the head before deadlifting her back up and hitting her with a Deadlift Spinebuster. The crowd continued booing as Akira threw Sherry back into the corner, and when Akira ran back into the corner, Sherry attempted to hit her with a Pendulum Kick. However, Akira was able to grab Sherry's feet, push her feet away, and grab her in a Waistlock, throwing her to the other side of the ring with a German Suplex throw.

"Akira throwing Sherry across the ring like she was a piece of trash!" Beth exclaimed as Sherry rolled onto the apron, trying to regain her bearings. When Akira noticed that Sherry was pulling herself back up, Akira attempted to hit a Running Spear through the ropes and onto Sherry, but she was able to dodge, sending Akira spearing herself out of the ring and onto the floor. The crowd continued booing as Sherry pulled on her own pink hair in frustration before hitting a Running Cactus Elbow to the chest from the apron onto Akira. The crowd continued booing as Sherry mounted Akira and hit her with multiple punches to the side of the head before picking her back up by the hair, hitting her with a couple of punches to the head before putting her in a Front Facelock, and hitting her with a DDT onto the padded concrete.

"Sherry is finally able to gain some momentum in this match thanks to using the floor to her advantage!" Nigel exclaimed as Sherry pulled Akira back up by the hair, and threw her back into the ring. Sherry then climbed back up to the top rope and hit Akira with a Frog Splash before going for the pinfall, hooking both her legs back.

Ref: 1…2..

Sherry let out a blood-curdling scream as she pulled her hair in frustration, stomping on Akira's chest before noticing that Sam was trying to pull herself back into the ring, which Sherry responded by running the ropes and knocking Sam back down with a Suicide Dive.

"Sherry's already getting frustrated at the fact she's having so many issues in this match, and she's taking it out on anything that moves!" Nigel exclaimed as Sherry picked Sam up by the hair, and hit her with an Inverted DDT onto the floor, sending the back of Sam's head bouncing off a piece of the barricade. Sherry then ran at Rei, who was now on all fours, with a Running Basement Dropkick, sending the side of her head bouncing off the bottom portion of the steel steps. The crowd continued booing as Sherry climbed back up to the top rope, and hit a now-standing Akira with a Diving Missile Dropkick to the side of her face, sending her staggering into another corner. Sherry then ran the ropes and hit a Jumping Corner Forearm to the side of Akira's head before throwing her out of the corner, jumping up to the middle rope, hitting Akira with a Diving Middle Rope Uppercut, and going for another pin.

Ref: 1…2..

"Akira kicking out again, and Sherry looks like she's losing what little of her mind she has left!" Okabe exclaimed as Sherry grabbed both of Akira's arms, pulled them, and began stomping on Akira's bloody face multiple times before going into the corner, waiting for Akira to get back up to her feet. When Akira staggered back to her feet, Sherry ran at her, attempting to hit her with a Spear, but Akira was able to pick her up and attempted to hit her with the Spotlighter (F-5), but Sherry was able to counter mid-Spotlighter (F-5) and plant Akira with an Inverted DDT. Sherry then climbed back up to the top rope, but the crowd exploded into cheers as Rei pulled herself back up to her feet, and jumped back up onto the top rope, throwing Sherry off the top rope with a Top Rope Spanish Fly that sent Sherry's back bouncing off of Akira's midsection.

"Where the hell did Rei come from!? She just sent Sherry falling right into Akira with that Top Rope Spanish Fly!" Nigel exclaimed as Rei cracked her neck while wiping some excess blood from her face before running the ropes, hitting both Akira and Sherry with a Middle Rope Springboard Moonsault, and going for the pin on Akira.

Ref: 1…2…

The crowd continued cheering as Rei jumped off of Sherry, and grabbed Sherry, locking her in a Reverse Full Nelson.

"Rei immediately going from a pinfall on one opponent to a submission on another opponent shows just how much of a ring general she is!" Okabe exclaimed as Sherry began picking herself back up to her feet, and despite Rei trying to keep her down with some knees to the gut, Sherry rammed her into the corner, pushing her back into the turnbuckles multiple times, though Rei was able to keep her grip on the Reverse Full Nelson. Sherry, however, countered by throwing Rei overhead with a Northern Lights Suplex, bridging into a pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

"Sherry almost stole it there! But Rei isn't going to let the championship she's held at the height of the BTWF's rebirth out of her grasp that easily!" Okabe exclaimed as Rei got back to her feet, rolled underneath Sherry's Clothesline attempt, and hit Sherry with two Clotheslines, two Running Forearms, and a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker before hitting her with a German Suplex. Akira attempted to hit Rei with a Running Clothesline of her own, but Rei rolled out of the way and hit her in the side of the head with an Enziguri before hitting her with a Backstabber. Sherry grabbed both of Rei's arms, attempting to hit her with Darkness Falls (Killswitch), but Rei was able to turn around, kick Sherry in the gut, and hit Sherry with three Rolling Vertical Suplexes.

"Rei taking it to both Sherry and Akira, telling them that she doesn't plan on leaving Las Vegas empty-handed!" Beth exclaimed as Rei rolled Sherry back up to her feet, and hit her with a Brainbuster. Rei then kipped back up to her feet, but the second she got back to her feet, Akira attempted to hit her with a German Suplex, but Akira landed on her feet. The crowd continued cheering as Rei hit Akira in the back of the head with a Running Knee to the back of the head before turning her around and hitting her with three Rolling Vertical Suplexes. However, when she attempted to hit Akira with the Brainbuster, Akira was able to keep her feet on the mat, picked Rei up in a Suplex position of her own, and hit Rei with a Gourdbuster right into the top rope, sending Rei onto the apron.

"Akira overpowering Rei, almost sending her bouncing off that top rope!" Beth exclaimed as Akira ran the ropes, attempting to hit Rei with a Big Boot, but the crowd cheered once again as Sam came back into the ring with a Missile Dropkick to the face. Sam then springboards off the middle rope, knocking Rei off the ring apron with a Springboard Triangle Dropkick. Sam then sent Sherry out of the ring with a Running Clothesline over the top rope, the crowd continuing to cheer as Sam ran the ropes, and hit a seated Akira with a Running Dropkick to the face. Sam then kipped back up to her feet and hit Akira in the chest with a Standing Corkscrew Moonsault before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"Akira kicking out at 2, but there wasn't as much energy in that kick-out as there was before!" Nigel exclaimed as Sam picked Akira back up to her feet, and put her in a Double Underhook position, attempting to hit her with a Double Underhook Neckbreaker, but Akira was able to push her away before attempting to hit her with a Big Boot to the side of the head. However, Sam slid out of the way, jumped back onto her feet, and hit Akira with a Reverse Frankensteiner, the crowd continuing to cheer before running the ropes and hitting Akira with a Shining Wizard to the side of the head. However, while Sam was giving the cheering crowd the cut-throat taunt, Rei dived off the top rope, hitting Sam with a Diving Hurricanrana.

"Rei once again flying in right when she was least expected, making sure this match doesn't end without her!" Okabe exclaimed as Sam pulled herself into the corner, holding her back in pain before Rei ran into the corner, hitting Sam with a Running Corner Dropkick to the face before putting Sam in a Front Facelock, attempting to hit her with a Tornado DDT. However, Sam was able to push Rei away, hit her with a Superkick, and attempted to hit Rei with a Springboard Tornado DDT, but Rei was able to counter by hitting Sam with a Brainbuster before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"I've never seen a Tornado DDT countered into a Brainbuster before, but Rei is just that damn good, so I shouldn't be surprised!" Beth exclaimed as Rei climbed back up to the top rope, the crowd continuing to cheer as Rei attempted to hit Sam with the Light from Above (Frog Splash), but Sherry got back onto the apron and clubbed Rei in the back multiple times before climbing up to the top rope with her and hitting her in the side of the head with multiple punches before biting her in the ear. The crowd booed as Sherry threw Rei off of the top rope with a Top Rope Frankensteiner, but she climbed back up to the top rope, attempting to hit her with another Frog Splash, but Sam was able to get back to her feet and run into the corner, hitting Sherry with a Running Forearm to the top of the head.

"Just as Sherry thought she regained control of this match, Sam is right there to make sure she doesn't retain the BTWF World Women's Championship!" Okabe exclaimed as Sam climbed up to the top rope, and continued hitting Sherry with multiple punches and headbutts before putting her in position for a Top Rope Falcon Arrow. However, before Sam could hit the move, Akira got back to her feet, grabbed Sam, and pulled her out of the corner and off the top turnbuckle in an Electric Chair position. Sam attempted to escape Akira's grasp with some punches to the side of the head, but this gave Sherry enough time to get off the top rope. Sherry attempted to hit Sam with a Diving Clothesline, but the crowd exploded into cheers as Sam was able to counter Sherry's move with a Snap Powerslam from the top of Akira's shoulders.

"Wow! What a counter by Sam, almost sending Sherry right through the ring with that Powerslam off of Akira's shoulders!" Beth exclaimed in shock as Sam hit Akira with a Shotgun Dropkick to the chest, sending Akira into the corner. The crowd continued cheering as Sam ran into the corner, attempting to hit a Discus Corner Forearm, but Akira countered with a Back Elbow to the side of the head before picking her up and throwing her out of the ring with an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex. However, before Akira could do anything else, Rei ran at Akira, and hit her with a Tilt-a-Whirl DDT, sending Akira onto the ring apron. Rei then attempted to hit Akira with a Springboard Triangle Enziguri, but Akira ducked, causing Rei to land next to her on the apron. Akira and Rei then began exchanging punches to the sides of their head while Sam struggled to get back to her feet.

"Akira and Rei are in a dangerous position being on the apron like that, especially with Sam recovering behind them!" Nigel exclaimed as Sherry knocked both Rei and Akira off the ring apron with a Running Double Dropkick, sending both of them falling into Sam. The crowd booed as Sherry stuck her tongue out at the crowd before climbing back up to the top rope, and when the three women on the outside began getting back to their feet, Sherry knocked all three back down with a Diving Crossbody to the outside.

"Sherry taking all three of her opponents down with a beautiful Crossbody!" Beth exclaimed as Sherry grabbed one of the chords from the broken monitors from the broken Spanish commentary table. The crowd continued booing as she grabbed Rei by the hair, wrapped the cord around her throat, and began strangling her with it, screaming in Rei's ear as she tried to push Sherry off of her. However, Sherry didn't stop, even pressing her knee against the back of Rei's head, causing her to fade into unconsciousness as Sherry continued pulling back on the cord, causing blood to pour out of not only the wound on Rei's head but Rei's mouth as well. Sherry didn't look like she was going to let go, but thankfully, Sam grabbed Sherry by the hair and slammed her head multiple times into the commentary table before throwing her back into the ring.

"Thank God Sam was there because if it wasn't for her, Rei could've been injured badly!" Beth exclaimed as Sam picked Sherry up, and hit her with multiple Open-Palm Strikes to the sides of the face before knocking her to her knees with a Spinning Kick to the gut. The crowd continued cheering as Sam ran the ropes, hit a Running Single High Knee to the side of Sherry's head, and then dropped her on the top of her head with a Back Drop Driver. Sherry staggered to the ropes, sitting in front of the bottom and middle ropes, Sam responded by hitting Sherry with a Hesitation Dropkick to the chin. The crowd continued cheering as Sam picked Sherry up, attempting to hit her with a Jackhammer, but the crowd booed as Akira came into the ring, and knocked Sam down with a Spear, also causing Sherry to fall, before pinning Sam.

"Akira almost rearranged Sam's insides with that Spear, but it's still not enough to become the BTWF World Women's Champion!" Nigel exclaimed as Akira picked Sam up, and hit her with a German Suplex into the corner, sending the back of her neck bouncing off the top turnbuckle. The crowd continued booing as Akira deadlifted Sherry up, and hit her with a German Suplex, but rather than stop, Akira rolled back to her feet and hit Sherry with five more German Suplexes before climbing back up to the top rope. Akira then dived off the top rope, hitting Sherry with a Shooting Star Press before going for the pinfall, hooking both of her legs back.

"Sherry just barely raising her shoulder off the mat! Akira looks as much in disbelief as the audience in attendance does!" Okabe exclaimed as Akira pounded the mat in frustration before immediately grabbing Sherry's leg, and locking her in the Akira Lock (Brock Lesnar's Brock Lock), pressing her foot on the back of Sherry's head. After a moment in the hold, Sherry began kicking Akira in the side of the head, trying to push her away, but Akira shook her head, telling Sherry she wasn't escaping this and that she was taking the championship and her leg. However, the crowd cheered as Sam ran out of the corner, putting Akira in a Guillotine Choke while she still tried to make Sherry tap out to the Akira Lock (Brock Lesnar's Brock Lock).

"We have a double submission in the ring right now! Who's going to tap out first!?" Nigel exclaimed as Akira began fading despite her trying to keep Sherry in her grasp. Sam, for her part, tightened her grip around Akira's neck, the crowd cheering as Akira had no choice but to let go of Sherry, allowing her to escape. Akira, however, after another moment in the Guillotine, clubbed Sam in the back multiple times before ramming her back first into the corner, the crowd booing as Akira hit Sam with multiple punches to the side of the head. However, when Akira turned around to talk trash to the fans, Sherry hit Akira in the face with her miniature spiked staff and went for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"Sherry with the spiked staff off the top of the head! I don't know how Akira kicked out, but it doesn't look like she can do much after that!" Nigel exclaimed as Sherry mounted Akira, grabbed her by the hair, and jammed the spike of her staff into the side of Akira's head, the crowd booing as Sherry screamed into Akira's ear that her spotlight was going to be drowned out by the darkness. Sherry then hit Akira in the back with her staff before running into the corner, hitting a Running Corner Uppercut to Sam's chin before hitting her with a Step-Up Enziguri in the corner, and throwing her out of the corner with an Exploder Suplex. Sherry then stomped on Sam's gut before running the ropes and hitting her with a Sliding Forearm before hitting Sam with a Running Rolling Leg Drop across the throat.

"Sherry turning this match around, and with Rei still struggling to breathe out here, she might have this one in the bag!" Nigel exclaimed as Sherry picked Sam up, and attempted to hit her with Darkness Falls (Killswitch), but Sam was able to push Sherry into the corner and attempted to hit her with a Running Corner Clothesline to the back of the head. However, Sherry responded with a Back Kick to the gut before jumping up to the middle rope and attempted to roll Sam up with a Springboard Sunset Flip, but Sam was able to roll over and put Sherry in a pinning position of her own.

Ref: 1…2…

"Sam almost stole the championship right from Sherry's nose! But Sherry's not going to take that lying down!" Nigel exclaimed as Sherry got back to her feet, and kicked her in the side of the head before attempting to hit her with the Darkness Falls (Killswitch). However, Sam pushed Sherry away and attempted to hit her with another Back Drop Driver, but Sherry landed on her feet behind Sam and hit her with an Inverted DDT. However, before Sherry could capitalize, an irate and bloody Akira knocked her down with a Big Boot to the face. Akira then picked Sam up and attempted to hit her with the Spotlighter (F-5), but Sam was able to counter with the Tilt-a-Whirl DDT.

"Sam planting Akira's face into the canvas, and a pool of blood already appearing underneath Akira's face!" Okabe exclaimed as the crowd exploded into cheers as Rei began climbing back up to her feet from the canvas, climbing up to the top rope, and hitting Akira with the Light from Above (Frog Splash). However, before Rei could go for the pin, Sam dragged Rei away from the pin, picked her up, and hit her with a Double Underhook Neckbreaker. But before Sam could go for the pinfall, Sherry grabbed Sam by the hair, and once again attempted to hit her with the Darkness Falls (Killswitch). However, Sam was able to counter this by pushing Sherry into the corner and hitting her with a Running Corner Knee Strike before throwing her out of the corner with a Gargoyle Suplex.

"Sam throwing Sherry halfway across the ring with that Gargoyle Suplex! This could be the beginning of the end!" Okabe exclaimed as Sam climbed up to the top rope, waiting for Sherry to get back to her feet. When Sherry got back to her feet, Sam dived off the top rope and, much to the crowd's delight, hit her with a Diving Blockbuster. However, as Sam was about to go for the pinfall, the crowd erupted into boos as Clover Lamoreaux came running down to the ring, and hitting Sam in the back with her Feast or Fired briefcase. The crowd continued booing as Clover began hitting Sherry multiple times with the briefcase before throwing her out of the ring. Jerry Lewis, who had followed Clover to the ring, was applauding his charge and friend while the rest of the crowd booed.

"What the hell is Clover doing here!? Sam was just about to become the BTWF Women's World Champion!" Beth exclaimed in anger as Clover began hitting Rei with the briefcase multiple times before throwing her out of the ring as well. Medusa attempted to get onto the apron to try and stop Clover, but Clover knocked her back down onto the floor with a briefcase shot to the face. Akira started staggering back to her feet, but Clover knocked her down with a briefcase shot to the back of the head before kicking her out of the ring. Clover then turned her attention to her former Totally Spies teammate Sam and began hitting her with the briefcase once again, aiming for the face and chest.

"I think that's exactly why Clover's out here, Beth! She's been pretty passionate about her hatred of Sam getting this championship opportunity before her!" Okabe exclaimed as Clover handed the briefcase to Jerry, who immediately ran over to the referee, telling her that Clover was cashing in her Feast or Fired briefcase. The crowd somehow booed even louder as the referee called Tim Barr over and told him the change of plans, which he nodded to before taking the briefcase.

"Ladies and gentlemen. 'The French Phenom' Clover Lamoreaux will be cashing in her Feast or Fired briefcase for an opportunity at the BTWF World Women's Championship, making this contest a Fatal-5-Way match!" Tim Barr announced, the crowd continuing to jeer at Clover and Jerry as the timekeeper rang the bell, indicating that the updated match was starting. Clover looked down at her beaten former friend, playfully kicking her in the head, allowing her to try and pull herself back up to her feet. Clover grabbed Sam by her red hair, telling him that it should've been Clover in this championship match, not Sam and that Sam was never better than her. Sam responded by slapping Clover in the face, the crowd exploding into cheers as Sam attempted to mount some sort of comeback with some wild punches to the face and back.

"Sam trying to make sure Clover doesn't walk out of Las Vegas with the BTWF Women's World Championship, using all the strength and energy that she has left to defeat her former friend!" Nigel exclaimed as Clover quickly put a stop to this with a hard Forearm to the side of the head, sending Sam on wobbly knees. Clover then ran the ropes, hitting Sam in the side of the head with a Discus Forearm before putting Sam in a Vertical Suplex position. The crowd continued booing louder as Clover marched around the ring with Sam in the Vertical Suplex before hitting her with the White Cyanide (Running Brainbuster) right to the center of the ring before pinning her with a single foot on Sam's chest.

*Bell Rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, and the NEW BTWF Women's World Champion, 'The French Phenom' Clover Lamoreaux!" Tim Barr announced, the crowd continuing to rain down boos on the French-born superstar. Clover looked at the crowd with a smirk on her face, with Jerry swiping the BTWF Women's World Championship from the ringside attendant, rolling into the ring, and handing his friend and charge the championship. Clover looked back down at an unconscious Sam and kicked her in the side of the head before standing back up and raising the BTWF Women's World Championship above her head.

"I…I can't believe this. Clover has robbed Sam of her StarShow moment, and has taken the BTWF Women's World Championship with her," Beth explained in disbelief as Clover yelled at the crowd that she was always better than Sam, and this championship should've been hers from the beginning. Clover then pressed her foot on top of an unconscious Sam, once again raising the championship over his head, the crowd continuing to boo as Jerry presented her to the sold-out stadium. Clover blew kisses to the booing crowd before sliding out of the ring with Jerry following her as she continued raising the BTWF Women's World Championship over her head.

"She took advantage of the Feast or Fired rules, and Clover has become the top woman on the Octane brand, just like she always wanted!" Nigel exclaimed as the camera panned around the ring, where Rei looked disappointed while trying to get the breath back in her lungs. On another side of the ring, Medusa was trying to console Sherry, who was screaming while running her fingers through her hair and scratching at the sides of her face. Sherry began pounding the back of her head against the ring canvas while Medusa attempted to pull her back up to her feet. Akira, meanwhile, glared at a downed Sam as she got back to her feet, shaking her head in disappointment while running her hands through her bloodied face and hair.

"Sherry, Rei, and Akira are just as gob-smacked as we are! Clover not only stole the championship from Sam but from the rest of the women in this match! That clearly made Clover plenty of enemies!" Okabe exclaimed as Clover walked back up the entranceway, holding the BTWF World Women's Championship in the air, yelling for the tech area to give her pyro. The crowd continued booing and chanting 'Fuck You, Clover!' as pyro shot out of the stage and the star-shaped TitanTrons. Sam, finally able to sit up, looked at the scene in front of her, her mouth slightly agape and her eyes widened in shock as she processed what Clover had done.

"If I were Clover, I'd get all the celebrating done before Octane, because she's going to have a lot on her plate with all the enemies she's made tonight," Nigel explained as Clover continued to sing her praises while showing off her new championship.

The camera panned to the backstage interview area, where Todd Grisham was standing next to the new BTWF United States Champion Laxus Dreyar, and Mirajane Strauss with a microphone in his hands.

"I'm here with Laxus Dreyar, who defeated Shinji Ikari for the BTWF United States Championship earlier tonight. Laxus, how are you feeling after the biggest victory of your career?" Todd asked as Laxus looked down at Todd with a raised eyebrow and a condescending smirk before handing the BTWF United States Championship to Mirajane and responding.

"What? Do you expect me to cry and tell all the losers in the audience that dreams can come true? Give me a Goddamn break. I didn't think for a single second that I would lose to that has been. Did he put up a little more of a fight than I expected? Yeah, he did, and I'm not going to take that away from him, but tonight, I proved what me and Mirajane have been saying since I came to the BTWF; Shinji didn't stand a damn chance against me, and the evidence is right here!" Laxus exclaimed, patting the BTWF United States Championship in Mirajane's hand while laughing.

"Well, your confidence when it comes to facing Shinji is certainly obvious, but how do you feel about Shinji possibly coming after you for a rematch?" Todd asked.

"If Shinji wants to get his ass kicked again, then he's more than welcome to step up to the plate," Laxus said with a shrug, being more focused on Mirajane than he was on Todd. Mirajane patted Laxus' cheek and kissed him before giving him the BTWF United States Championship back.

"And the same goes for anyone else who thinks they can step up to the God of Thunder. If someone people consider one of the Pillars of the BTWF like Shinji couldn't beat Laxus, then what chance do ANY of the other scrubs on Octane have?" Mirajane asked Todd. Before Todd could answer the question, Mirajane let out a laugh before putting a hand over Todd's mouth.

"Don't answer that. The answer is none. They have no chance," Mirajane said, grabbing Laxus' arm, and rubbing it while Laxus put the BTWF United States Championship over his other shoulder. Todd attempted to ask them another question, but Laxus pushed the microphone away from him, looking at Mirajane rather than Todd.

"Nope. We're done here. Me and Mirajane are heading back to the hotel, and celebrating my big win. Later, loser," Laxus said dismissively before Mirajane jumped into Laxus' arms, allowing the two to leave the arena together with Todd looking on in annoyance.
