BTWF Octane (August Week 1)

'Are You Ready?' by Disturbed played, as pyro went off on the stage. The camera then panned to the cheering crowd, completely filling out the stadium. The fans had signs that said things such as 'Kaworu Got Lucky', 'Shinji and Rei are worth 6 Stars', and 'Clover = Slut'. The camera then panned to the announcer's table before Jim Cornette started talking.

"Ladies and gentlemen, from Richmond, Virginia, welcome back to BTWF Octane! I'm Jim Cornette alongside my broadcast colleagues Beth Vanderwood and Rintaro Okabe, and after Bash at the Beach, things are definitely going to be interesting going forward," Cornette introduced as Beth and Okabe nodded in agreement.

"That's right, Clover Lamoreaux has taken Sam Simpson out of action with a bad neck injury. We do wish Sam a speedy comeback, but we haven't heard about a potential punishment for Clover," Beth responded, as the second version of Cody Rhodes' 'Smoke and Mirrors' theme song started playing causing the crowd to boo loudly.

"Speak of the devil, the Fabulous One has arrived on Octane along with her manager, BTWF Hall of Famer Jerry Lewis!" Okabe exclaimed as the Titantron turned into a mirror, and Clover turned around to look at herself in the mirror while Jerry applauded her, causing the crowd to boo.

"She looks awfully happy given what she did at Bash at the Beach," Beth lamented, as Clover turned around and walked with Jerry to the ring as the ring announcer started his introduction.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Making her way to the ring, accompanied by Jerry Lewis, from Beverly Hills California by way of Sainte-Mere-Eglise, France; Clover Lamoreaux!" Justin Roberts announced as the crowd continued to boo while Jerry got onto the apron and held the ropes open for Clover. Clover thanked Jerry before going into the ring and climbing up the top rope, showing off her pearly whites.

"We're getting word from the back that Clover is fighting a female wrestler that we signed over Bash at the Beach, so Clover didn't have much preparation for this match," Cornette explained before Clover's music stopped, the lights in the arena turned light pink, and Io Shirai's babyface theme song played, revealing Ochako Uraraka, much to the crowd's delight.

"And her opponent, from Tokyo Japan, the Genius of the Sky, Ochako Uraraka!" Justin Roberts announced, as Uraraka hit a cartwheel on the entrance stage before she ran to the ring, where Clover was looking at her with shock.

"This is a huge get by the BTWF! Ochako Uraraka is a—well I should say was—a free agent in the BTWF Fanfiction Wrestling Multiverse!" Beth exclaimed as Uraraka jumped up to the middle rope and flipped into the ring before running the ropes and springboarded off of the 2nd rope before landing on her feet, causing the crowd to cheer.

"She is known as one of the best high flyers in the Fanfiction Wrestling Multiverse, it's almost like she can defy gravity!" Cornette exclaimed before the bell rand. Clover and Uraraka met at the center of the ring and locked up in the center of the ring. Surprising many of the fans and the announcers, Uraraka was able to win this lock up and put Clover in a headlock, much to the crowd's delight.

"And she doesn't even need to use her quirk to do so," Okabe continued, as Clover pushed Uraraka off of her and when she rebounded off the ropes, Clover sent her down with a shoulder tackle. Before Clover could rebound off of the ropes herself, Uraraka kipped back up and got in Clover's face. Clover smirked and pushed Uraraka, but this caused Uraraka to start kicking her in the leg before Uraraka ran the ropes and hit a hurricanrana, much to the crowd's delight, before Clover got up and Uraraka ran the ropes and hit a springboard handstand back elbow onto Clover before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2

"It looks like Uraraka has Clover all out of sorts!" Beth exclaimed, as Uraraka picked Clover up and Irish whipped her into the corner and ran into the corner to hit a one-woman Poetry in Motion onto Clover before grabbing Clover and hitting her with a snap suplex. Uraraka ran the ropes and hit a running shooting star press while the crowd was cheering her on and chanting her name before she went for the pin.

Ref: 1…2

Clover kicked out, and Uraraka went to the top rope, attempting a diving attack from the top rope. However, Jerry got onto the apron and started yelling at Uraraka, who turned and started yelling at him back.

"And Jerry getting into it with this young upstart!" Cornette exclaimed as Clover started to get back onto her feet. While Uraraka and the referee were yelling at Jerry to get off of the apron, Clover had gotten back up and hit a running dropkick onto Uraraka's face, sending her falling face-first onto the padded concrete.

"OH MY GOD! What a fall from the top rope!" Okabe exclaimed as Clover smirked at the crowd while sitting in the ring, causing the crowd to boo. Clover then rolled under the bottom rope and picked Uraraka up by the hair. Clover yelled at the crowd before she threw Uraraka into the steel steps, causing the crowd to boo louder while the referee started counting.

Ref: 1…2…3

Clover mounted Uraraka and started punching her in the face before throwing her into the fan barricade and turned her around to start choking Uraraka with her foot. Clover yelled at more booing fans before she threw Uraraka back into the ring, kicking her in the side of the head one more time before getting back into the ring herself and pinned Uraraka.

Ref: 1…2

"And now that Clover has taken control of this match back, she needs to slow the pace down so that she can better control Uraraka, who thrives on being able to zip around the ring and fly," Okabe explained as Clover sat Uraraka up and hit her with a big boot to the head before running the ropes again and hitting a senton onto her midsection. She then grabbed the top rope and started stomping on her midsection until the referee told her to stop. She did, but not before hitting a jumping double stomp onto Uraraka's midsection before going for another pin.

Ref: 1…2

"It looks like Clover's taking your advice Okabe, but, strangely, she's not targeting the leg of Uraraka. Rather, she seems to be focused on her midsection," Beth noted, as Clover continued the assault on Uraraka's midsection with multiple elbow drops, kipping up after the 5th and blowing a kiss to the booing crowd.

"Well you know how when you get punched in the stomach, the wind gets knocked out of you? Well, these repeated blows and attacks to the midsection, Uraraka is going to have less oxygen in her, making it harder to perform a lot of moves, let alone the high flying ones that she seems to love using," Okabe explained, as Clover picked Uraraka up and pushed her into the corner before hitting her with multiple shoulder thrusts into the corner before she started choking her with her foot.

"Hey Okabe, I'm supposed to be the wrestling analyst here, and there you go stealing my thunder," Cornette joked, as Uraraka kicked Clover in the back of her knee and pushed her away with her feet giving herself a moment of reprieve.

"Call me back when you made a time machine out of a microwave and a cell phone Jim," Okabe countered as Uraraka went up to Clover and punched her in the face multiple times before running the ropes, only to be countered with a Tilt a Whirl Backbreaker. Clover started kneeing Uraraka in the gut before she ran the ropes and hit a discus forearm to the side of her head before turning her around and putting her foot on Uraraka's throat for a pin.

Ref: 1…2

Clover put Uraraka in a bodyscissors and pulled her head back by the hair, yelling in her ear that she's not good enough to fight her. Uraraka was able to flip out of the hold after 30 seconds and hit a dropkick to the back of Clover's head. Clover quickly rolled out onto the apron with Uraraka coming after her. When Uraraka came close enough, Clover hit her with multiple shoulder thrusts, attempting to hit her with a back body drop to the outside, but Uraraka countered by escaping the hold and brought Clover back into the ring with a hurricanrana, causing the crowd to cheer.

"That is some impressive leg strength by Uraraka!" Beth exclaimed, as Uraraka ran the ropes and attempted a springboard moonsault from the 2nd rope, but Clover raised her knees up, causing Uraraka to hit her midsection onto her knees. Clover picked Uraraka up and hit her with a spinebuster before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2

Clover sprung back to her feet and started arguing with the referee. As usual, the referee told her that the count stood before Clover ran the ropes and hit a seated clothesline onto Uraraka before picking her up and hit multiple punches to her face and a sit-out powerbomb before grabbing her legs and locking her in a Boston Crab.

"The Boston Crab is locked in, and Uraraka may tap out here!" Cornette exclaimed as Uraraka tried to drag herself to the ropes. As she was about to reach the ropes, Jerry pulled the ropes back allowing Clover to pull Uraraka back to the center of the ring. Clover then leaned back and put a knee on the back of Uraraka's neck.

"And now the Boston Crab has turned into a Liontamer!" Okabe exclaimed as Uraraka tried again to drag herself to the ropes, but Clover's knee on her neck prevented her from going anywhere. Uraraka almost tapped out, while Jerry was yelling at her to tap and the fans in the arena clapped and chanted for Uraraka. Uraraka, rather than tapping, started hitting Clover's leg with her elbows, causing Clover to loosen the hold. This allowed Uraraka to turn herself around and pin Clover.

Ref: 1…2

Clover kicked out and ran the ropes to kick her in the face. Clover put a foot on Uraraka's gut, and posed, causing the crowd to boo. However, Uraraka grabbed Clover's leg, and pushed her down to the ground and went to the corner to regain her composure, with the crowd still cheering her on. Clover attempted to run at Uraraka in the corner with an elbow, but Uraraka was able to dodge and roll her up with a small package.

Ref: 1…2

Clover was able to escape the small package, but Uraraka immediately responded by hitting a superkick to Clover's face before going into the corner again to regain her breath, causing the crowd to continue to cheer for her.

"Uraraka is finally to get some momentum in this match after Clover's relentless assault on her midsection!" Beth exclaimed as Clover got up with her hand over her jaw. Uraraka ran at Clover with two clotheslines, a corkscrew dropkick, a hip toss/neckbreaker combination, and ran the ropes before rolling and hitting Clover in the midsection with the double stomp as the crowd was chanting her name before Uraraka went for the pin.

Ref: 1…2

Clover kicked out, and Uraraka put her in the corner, specifically the bottom turnbuckle. Uraraka ran the ropes and hit a running Meteora into the corner before picking her up and hitting her with a DDT. Uraraka ran the ropes and springboarded off the 2nd rope with a senton onto Clover, and then ran the ropes again and springboarded again, this time with an elbow drop onto Clover before jumping onto the apron, and jumping up and clapping to get the crowd cheering even more. Uraraka jumped onto the top rope and hit Clover with a High Angle Swanton Bomb before going for the pin again.

Ref: 1…2.

"Uraraka able to get back to her usual high flying, but you have to imagine that she doesn't have the oxygen she did at the beginning of this match and this may end up costing her," Okabe explained, as Uraraka picked Clover up, who countered with a jawbreaker and pushed her into the ropes. Clover attempted a running clothesline again, but Uraraka countered with a boot to the face and ran at her with a Tilt a Whirl into a Crossface, causing the crowd to cheer. Clover tried to make her way to the ropes, but Uraraka rolled her back to the center of the ring and continued to wring in the cross-face.

"We've been talking about Uraraka's high flying ability, but her technical game is just as sound," Cornette explained, as Clover was able to roll over and club Uraraka in the chest, allowing her to escape the hold and hit a standing leg drop onto Uraraka's throat before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2..

Clover pounded the mat once before picking Uraraka up in a suplex position, blowing a kiss to the audience, and lifting her up for the White Cyanide (Brainbuster). However, Uraraka hit several knee strikes to Clover's face and then hit her with a Hurricanrana DDT before going to the top rope with her back facing the ring, causing the crowd to cheer.

"I've heard about this move gentlemen, it's called the Uravity Stomp, which is a moonsault that turns into a double foot stomp, and it is a thing of beauty!" Beth exclaimed, as Uraraka prepped to hit the Uravity Stomp (Moonsault Stomp), Clover was able to get back on her feet and hit her with a double axe handle to the back, causing Uraraka to fall into the top of the steel ring post. Clover then grabbed Uraraka and hit a powerbomb from the top rope onto Uraraka before immediately picking her up and putting her in a suplex position.

"Well we may not see the Uravity Stomp, but it looks like we're going to see the White Cyanide (Brainbuster)!" Okabe responded. However, Uraraka was able to slip out of it, causing the crowd to cheer out of shock, and kick Clover in the head. While Uraraka fell to her knees and held her head, Clover went to the ropes, where Jerry looked as though he was consoling her, but discreetly put something in her hand.

"Wait…what does Clover have in her hand!?" Cornette asked as Uraraka walked over to Clover to grab her, but Clover pushed her away and punched Uraraka in the side of the head before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2…3

*Bell rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Clover Lamoreaux!" Justin Roberts announced, as Clover quickly kicked what was on her hands to Jerry, which the camera revealed to be brass knuckles.

"Oh, I see what happened! Jerry gave Clover brass knuckles to help her win the match!" Beth exclaimed as Clover left the ring to celebrate with Jerry while Uraraka was laying in the ring near motionless. However, while Clover and Jerry were heading to the back, the lights in the arena went off, and when they came back on, Sherry Blendy and the rest of the Sisterhood of Darkness were in the ring, looking down at a downed Uraraka.

"Oh no…," Okabe moaned, as Clover and Jerry ran off the stage and headed to the back while Uraraka had just started to stir.

"Ultear Milkovich, Tomoko Kuroki, Toga Himiko, and everyone else in the Sisterhood look like they're going to make Uraraka their next victim," Beth lamented, as Sherry picked Uraraka up by her hair, and attempted to put her in the Darkness (Killswitch). However, Alex Vasquez, Meg Griffin, Agent Xero, and Star Butterfly ran into the ring, and went after the Sisterhood, causing the crowd to cheer.

"It looks like Uraraka has already made friends in the locker room!" Cornette exclaimed as the four women went after women like Xochi, Scarlet (the Librarian from Hilda), Clementine (from Overlord), and Toga Himiko. However, Sherry, Ultear, and Tomoko were able to use the number's game to their advantage and this allowed Sherry to pick Uraraka back up. However, Haruko Haruhara came through the crowd and tackled sherry to the ground and started punching her in the face to the delight of the crowd.

"And Haruko Haruhara has returned to the BTWF after a several month hiatus, and she's going after the Sisterhood!" Beth exclaimed before Tomoko and Ultear grabbed Haruko and started beating her down. However, to the shock of the fans in attendance, Erza Scarlet and Alexis Rhodes of the Beautiful People went into the ring and went after Tomoko and Ultear.

"Even the Beautiful People are going after the Sisterhood, knowing the danger they pose to the Octane Women's Division!" Okabe explained as Alex threw Sherry out of the ring, and when Uraraka was able to get back up, Alex told her to go after Sherry. In response, Uraraka ran the ropes and hit a corkscrew crossbody onto Sherry much to the delight of the fans. Alex started going after Togata while everyone else was brawling as well.

"Well folks, we're going to have to take a commercial break, and hopefully we can get some order back!" Cornette exclaimed before the camera took one last look at the brawl in the ring and Uraraka brawling with Sherry outside of the ring. The camera then cut to a commercial break just as referees and security guards started running down to the ring.

*Commercial Break*

*Commercial Over*

The camera cut backstage in Arthur Morgan and Tanya von Degurechaff's office, where United States Champion Shinji came into the office, eliciting a loud cheer from the live crowd.

"You guys wanted to see me?" Shinji asked, setting his United States title on the desk.

"Yeah, we did. As you know, Cyber Sunday is in a few weeks, and we want you to have a United States title match for the show," Arthur explained as Shinji nodded.

"Sounds good to me. I'll take on anyone you have!" Shinji exclaimed before Tanya started talking.

"We have come up with only two contenders at the moment; Soul Eater Evans due to his performance in the ladder match at Bash at the Beach, and Owen due to his victory over Homer at the same show," Tanya explained, while Shinji was nodding in understanding.

"So who's this third person?" Shinji asked.

"Whoever wins the Falls Count Anywhere main event between Mordecai and Ed," Arthur responded.

"Well you guys are giving my money's worth at the PPV, but I always deliver on the big stages. That's why I'm Undisputed," Shinji responded before taking his title and leaving the office. Tanya and Arthur went back to work before the camera panned back to the ring, where Kirishima, Denki Kaminari, Valentino Clavara, and Arnold Jackson were in the ring.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the following tag team match is scheduled for one fall. The winner of this match will be one of the three teams eligible for a BTWF World Tag Team Title match at Cyber Sunday!" Justin Roberts announced as the crowd cheered.

"In the ring first, the team of Denki Kaminari and Kirishima!" Roberts announced as the crowd cheered the two climbing the top rope together, side hugging each other, and raising their fists.

"And their opponents, the team of Valentino Clavara and Arnold Jackson!" Roberts announced, as the crowd also cheered the two hi-fiving each other. The bell rang as Arnold and Kaminari started the match with a lockup, that Kaminari quickly won by putting him in an armlock.

"Welcome back to the program ladies and gentlemen, we were able to retain control of this show after the wild brawl between the Sisterhood of Darkness and the rest of the Octane Women's locker room," Cornette explained, as Arnold attempted to duck out of the armlock, but Kaminari hit him with an arm drag and put him in a headlock.

"We had to start this match as quick as possible to make sure that those women didn't return to cause more chaos," Okabe continued, as Arnold was able to get back to his feet, and club Kaminari in the gut several times before pushing him into the ropes and attempting to shoot him off, but Kaminari was able to hang on and keep Arnold in the headlock. Kaminari dragged Arnold into his corner and tagged Kirishima into the match. The two hit a double suplex onto Arnold before Kirishima went for a cover.

Ref: 1..

Arnold kicked out quickly, but Kirishima quickly locked him back in a headlock. Arnold was able to drag himself to his corner, and tag Valentino into the match. When Valentino got in, he punched Kirishima off of Arnold, and the two hit a double dropkick onto Kirishima before Valentino picked Arnold up and scoop slammed him onto Kirishima, causing the crowd to cheer. Valentino then ran the ropes and hit a jumping elbow drop onto Kirishima before going for another pin.

Ref: 1…2

"Valentino getting into the match may have sent this match into another gear!" Beth exclaimed as Kirishima kicked out, and Valentino responded by Irish whipping him into the corner.

Ref: 1…2

Kirishima kicked out again and tried to get to his corner, but Valentino held on to his leg and attempted to keep him in the center of the ring.

Kaminari hit several elbow shots to the side of Valentino's head before running to another corner and hitting Valentino with a running back elbow strike before running the ropes and sending Valentino back to the ground with a single leg dropkick. Kaminari looked back at Arnold and shrugged at him before running the ropes and hitting a leg drop across Valentino's throat before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2

"Kaminari dominating this match and you have to imagine that he's motivated by his desire to win," Okabe explained, as Kaminari tagged Kirishima back into the match. Kirishima put Valentino in a DDT position and Kaminari ran the ropes to hit a jumping double stomp to Valentino's back, and when he went back to the apron, Kirishima hit a DDT onto Valentino, causing the crowd to cheer, though they were chanting for both teams. Kirishima picked Valentino up and hit him with a scoop slam before going for another pin.

"Lifting Valentino up for a scoop slam was another very impressive feat of strength by Kirishima!" Cornette exclaimed as Arnold yelled at Valentino to kick out.

Ref: 1…2

Kirishima knelt down and put Valentino in a Fujiwara Armbar. Valentino attempted to crawl to the ropes, but Kirishima was able to hold him in place while continuing to pull back on the armbar.

"And Kirishima continuing to show off his strength by holding Valentino down in the same spot for that armbar," Okabe explained, as Valentino started punching Kirishima in the face. This caused Kirishima to loosen the hold, and allowed Valentino to move out of the armbar. Valentino ran the ropes and attempted a clothesline, but Kirishima grabbed Valentino and hit him with an arm trap clothesline before going for the pin.

Kaminari just started to lock in the bodyscissors, but Valentino was able to get back to his feet and hit a backpack stunner onto Kaminari, sending him off of Valentino's back and both men laying in the ring trying to get their bearings back.

"And now Valentino finally has a chance to tag out of this match!" Cornette exclaimed, as Valentino turned to his stomach and started to crawl back to his corner, where Arnold was waiting with his arm outstretched. Kaminari was doing the same with Kirishima jumping up and down trying to get the tag. Valentino was able to tag Arnold in, much to the crowd's delight, and he was able to roll Kaminari up with an Oklahoma Roll.

"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, the team of Valentino Clavara and Arnold Jackson!" Roberts announced as the crowd cheered. Arnold ran out of the ring and hugged Valentino, who had just gotten back up from the knee to the back.

"Valentino and Arnold have earned the right to be voted on by the fans for Cyber Sunday's World Tag Team title match!" Cornette exclaimed as Kaminari and Kirishima went outside of the ring, and shook the hands of Valentino and Arnold before walking up the ramp, allowing Arnold and Valentino to continue celebrating.

"I'm glad that these four athletes can show respect for each other despite the outcome of this contenders match," Beth stated before Valentino and Arnold made their way to the entrance ramp. However, while they were responding to the cheering crowd, Sheldon Lee and Naruto hit the two of them in the back of the head with their World Tag Team title belts. The crowd booed as the two smirked and lifted their World Tag titles above their heads.

"And the champions have made a statement, telling the new potential contenders that they are not impressed with their victory and that they will do whatever it takes to retain their titles!" Okabe exclaimed as the referee came out of the ring to check on Valentino and Arnold before Naruto and Sheldon walked back up the ramp, admiring their titles as the crowd booed before the camera panned to a commercial break.

*Commercial Break*

*Commercial Over*

The camera came back to the Hollywood Hooligan, sitting in a chair in the makeup room of the backstage area. He was smirking at the camera with his sunglasses on while a woman was brushing his hair.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it has come to my attention that my stardom is becoming too much for me to handle. I mean…I'm already slated to star in Romance on the High Seas soon, and I'm one of the biggest stars in BTWF television," Hooligan stated with a smirk before the woman stopped brushing his hair and brought out a clothing rack.

"So, I have decided that I want to share my stardom with one lucky woman. I want to find the Audrey Hepburn to my James Dean. The Angelina Love to my Brad Pitt. The Beyonce to my Jay Z. I'm looking for one lucky woman to become my new director!" Hooligan exclaimed as the woman picked out a black fur jacket.

"Hmmm…this is just right," Hooligan said before he put the fur jacket on. "Will you be as right for me as this jacket? Send me your audition videos on Twitter and we shall see," Hooligan said before he turned the camera off. The camera then panned to the ring where 'Patriot' by Jim Johnston started to play, as the crowd booed Stan Smith coming out with an American Flag in his hand. Stan Smith responded by glaring at the fans as he continued to make his way to the ring.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring, from Langley Falls, Virginia, he is a Real American, Stan Smith!" Roberts announced as the crowd booed, while Nico was in the ring, squatting up and down while staring intently at Stan Smith.

"And his opponent, from Nanba Prison, Nico!" Roberts announced as Nico jumped up in the air with his fist while the crowd lightly cheered.

"I still can't get over the fact this man is a criminal, but he has to be better than the so-called Real American!" Cornette exclaimed as the bell rang. When it did, Stan immediately took Nico down to the ground with a Fireman's Carry takedown before locking him in an armbar, slapping him in the back of the head, saying that he needs to go back to where he came from. The crowd booed as he slapped Nico in the back of the head, who was able to get up and elbow Stan in the face until he got off of him.

"I have to agree with you there, Jim. Stan is still as bigoted as ever, and he seems to be even more angry and bitter if such a thing was possible!" Beth agreed as Nico attempted another punch to the head of Stan, but Stan hit Nico with a hip toss before putting him in another armbar. Nico got back to his feet and started punching Stan in the face. Stan tried to hit Nico with a German Suplex, but Nico was able to land on his feet and hit a one-handed bulldog onto Stan and pinned her.

Ref: 1…

Stan kicked out, and Nico responded with a jumping leg drop to the throat before picking Stan up and hitting him with multiple knife edge chops, sending him into the corner, causing the crowd to cheer.

"You can say what you want about Stan's personality, and I agree with a lot of them, but he is a machine when it comes to his in-ring skills," Okabe countered, as Nico ran the ropes and hit Stan with a running shoulder thrust to the stomach before hitting Stan with a hurricanrana. Stan got back to his feet, holding his back in pain. Nico attempted to run at him again, but Stan was able to hit him with a Stun Gun onto the top turnbuckle before hitting him with a German Suplex that caused Nico to land on his stomach. Stan glared at Nico's downed form while the crowd booed and chanted 'Racist' at him before he went for the pin.

Ref: 1…2

Nico kicked out, and Stan threw Nico into the crowd before hitting him with multiple shoulder thrusts and punching him in the face until he fell to the bottom turnbuckle. Stan saluted the fans with his hand on his forehead while choking Nico with his foot, causing the crowd to boo louder at him.

"Stan definitely has taken control of this match with that vicious German Suplex," Beth explained, as Stan grabbed Nico up by the chin and hit him with a belly to belly overhead throw, before running the ropes and hit a leg drop to the back of Nico's head before he grabbed the leg and started kicking the front of Nico's knee. Stan then smashed Nico's legs multiple times onto the canvas before pinning him by holding onto both of his legs.

Ref: 1…2

Nico kicked out and Stan responded with a kick to the back before mounting his back and clubbing him in the face with repeated forearms.

"Beth you talked about how Stan appears to be more bitter and angry since returning to the BTWF, and this vicious assault with the forearms is good evidence of that," Cornette explained, as Stan dragged Nico's leg near the steel ring post. Stan went outside, grabbed Nico's right leg and smashed the back of the leg against the steel ring apron and then he dragged Nico near the steel ring post and yelled at the booing crowd while the referee was counting.

Ref: 1…2…3

Stan then slammed Nico's right leg into the steel ring post multiple times before turning to the booing crowd and raising both of his arms up in premature victory, causing the crowd to boo louder.

"And we can also include this attack on the right leg of Nico as evidence of Stan's increased aggression," Okabe explained, as Stan attempted to smash Nico's legs into the steel ring post again, but Nico was able to pull his legs back and pull Stan into the steel ring post, causing the crowd to cheer as Nico rolled to the center of the ring. Nico started pounding his leg, trying to get the blood flowing back into his leg as the referee continued to count.

Ref: 4…5..

Stan quickly got back into the ring and attempted to hit a running boot onto Nico, but Nico was able to duck before he started punching Stan in the face and chopping Stan in the chest. This sent Stan down to one knee before Nico attempted a roundhouse kick to the head. Stan was able to grab the leg and push Nico away before hitting him with a clothesline that sent Nico inside out, causing the crowd to boo even more before Stan went for the pin.

Ref: 1…2

Stan immediately grabbed Nico's leg and turned him around to lock him in a Single Leg Boston Crab, causing the crowd to clap for Nico and chant 'Stan Sucks!'

"This Single Leg Boston Crab is definitely going to do more damage to Nico's leg," Okabe explained as Nico started crawling to the ropes. Stan noticed this and attempted to drag him back to the center of the ring, but when Stan turned around, Nico pushed him away. When Stan came and ran back at him again, Nico was able to roll him up in a small package.

Ref: 1…2

Nico was able to get up, despite not being able to use his right leg too much before Stan and pick him up before Irish whipping him into the ropes and hit a flying clothesline onto Stan before mounting him and punching him in the face multiple times. Stan pushed him off but Nico hit him with a superkick to the chest. Nico, after pounding his leg a few times, hit multiple clotheslines and a snap powerslam before going for the pin, causing the crowd to cheer and chant that 'Stan Sucks'.

Ref: 1…2

"I think that Nico has gotten some adrenaline, and that's temporarily numbing the pain in his leg!" Cornette exclaimed as Nico roared before he picked Stan back up, dropkicked Stan in the knee and ran the ropes to hit an axe kick to the back of Stan's neck before springboarding off the 2nd rope and hitting a body press to the back of Stan before picking him up, egging the crowd on to cheer, and hit Stan with a Snap DDT before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2

Nico went to the corner and stomped his left foot on the ground in sync with the fans clapping, prepping for the Lethal Injection (Running Enziguri). He attempted to run at him, but Stan countered into a front running chop block, sending Nico down holding his leg in pain.

"Well, that flurry was nice while it lasted," Okabe stated before Stan picked Nico up and hit him with an Olympic Slam before locking Nico in the Ankle Lock.

"And Stan has Nico in the Ankle Lock! This has to be it!" Beth exclaimed as Nico tried to use his legs to roll Stan in front of him for a pin, but Stan kept his feet on the ground and Nico in the Ankle Lock. After another minute in the hold, Nico had no choice but to tap out, causing the crowd to boo.

*Bell rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner as a result of a submission; he is a Real American, Stan Smith!" Justin Roberts announced as the crowd booed even louder, and Stan continued to keep the Ankle Lock on Nico, despite the referee's protests.

"Stan won this match fair and square, but he's still trying to hurt and potentially injure Nico!" Cornette exclaimed as the referee attempted to push and pull Stan off of Nico, but Stan locked Nico's leg in a Grapevine while continuing to lock in the Ankle Lock.

"Somebody has to stop Stan, this is ridiculous!" Beth complained as the referee got in Stan's face, threatening to reverse the decision of the match. Stan let the hold go and left the ring, grabbing the American flag and waved it around while the fans continued to boo and chant 'Racist' at him.

"Well Stan has definitely made an impression in his return to Octane," Okabe stated as Nico was being checked on by the referee and the ringside doctor. The camera then panned backstage to where Todd Grisham was standing in the interview area.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time; Ed!" Todd announced, as Ed came into the shot, his arms crossed, a smirk on his face, and the crowd booing. "Ed, at Bash at the Beach, you attacked Mordecai before he could discuss the match he was going to have with you tonight? What do you have to say about that?"

"I was simply giving him a taste of what he can expect in our match tonight. I'm not going to show any mercy and destroy him once and for all," Ed responded.

"Now do you have any final thoughts on your match?" Todd asked.

"Yeah, I can't wait to get my shot at the United States Championship at Cyber Sunday," Ed responded once again before leaving the interview set and the camera panned to a commercial break.

*Commercial Break*

*Commercial Over*

The camera panned to the backstage area, were Shoto Todoroki was in his locker room, with athletic tape and gauze all over his upper chest, shoulder, and back, gazing over the contract he won in the ladder match at Cyber Sunday.

"I do not like to discuss my father much, but when I heard that he was going to have an MLW World Title match against Stain, I became more motivated to win the ladder match. And I did," Todoroki said, showing his contract to the camera.

"Soul definitely is an amazing competitor, and he brought his A-Game to the ladder match. He has more than earned his potential United States title match at Bash at the Beach. When will I use this contract? That is something I am still thinking about, but rest assured, I will do it soon and I will win the BTWF championship," Todoroki stated, before walking away and the camera panned to the ring, where a red carpet covered the ring canvas, chairs were on the left side of the ring with professionally dressed people sitting in those chairs. A podium was placed at the center of the ring with a painted portrait of Kaworu Nagisa, and a few pictures of Kaworu winning the BTWF Championship from Natsu at Bash at the Beach on the right side of the ring. An older man in a black suit and tie was at the podium waiting for the crowd to quiet down before he started.

"Uhhhh…what is going on here?" Cornette asked.

"Shhhhhh…I think it's about to start," Okabe responded before the man in front of the podium started to talk.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Championship Celebration of Kaworu Nagisa," the man said before the crowd started booing.

"Kaworu Nagisa has considered himself the smartest man in the BTWF, and given what I have seen, there is plenty of credence to this. I am a professor from the Virginia Commonwealth University, and it is my honor to present all of you to the new BTWF Champion, Kaworu Nagisa!" the professor introduced, before Damian Sandow's 2014 version of 'Hallelujah' played as the crowd booed Kaworu Nagisa coming out with the BTWF Championship around his waist. Rather than his usual blue robe, he was wearing a black suit, black dress pants, and a pink tie. He went into the ring, where everyone sitting in the ring was applauding him, to which he responded with a curtsy before he shook the professor's hand and stood on the podium. While the crowd was chanting for 'Natsu!', Kaworu took the BTWF Championship off of his waist and put it on the podium before he started talking.

"Thank you for that rousing welcome, ladies, and gentlemen. Now, I know that this may come as a shock, but…I'm the new BTWF Champion," Kaworu started, causing the crowd to continue to boo. Kaworu seemingly paid no mind to this as he continued talking, patting his BTWF Championship.

"As a celebration of this marvelous feat, I decided to bring all the smartest minds in Richmond, Virginia to take part in this celebration. It wasn't easy finding anyone smart enough to have a conversation with me, especially here in Richmond, but I managed it," Kaworu continued, causing the crowd to boo louder as the camera panned to the people sitting in the ring, applauding Kaworu.

"Natsu Dragoneel was a good champion, and he was entertaining in his own little way. However, when we all think about it for even a short amount of time, we can all realize that I am his superior in every way. I am a better wrestler, I am much more handsome, I do not need to do reckless flips, and above all else, I am much, MUCH smarter than he is. Therefore, the BTWF Championship has been given an upgrade that it has sorely needed," Kaworu continued, as the crowd started chanting 'Asshole Inc.' at him. Before he could continue, 'War' by the Sick Puppies played, causing the crowd to get off of their feet and cheer.

"Thank God! I thought I was going to fall asleep!" Beth exclaimed with relief, as Natsu came out of the back with a large bandage at the center of his forehead.

"You and me both, Beth. Natsu is here to inject some excitement into this little party of Kaworu's," Cornette agreed, as Natsu continued making his way to the ring while hi-fiving fans as Kaworu glared at Natsu.

"I was actually quite enjoying Kaworu's speech," Okabe countered before Natsu got into the ring and got a microphone from a ring attendant as the crowd was chanting Natsu's name and cheering him.

"I heard you guys before this whole…thing started. Sorry, I was late, but the doctor was really stingy about letting me leave without this little band-aid right here," Natsu joked, pointing to the bandage at the center of his forehead, causing the crowd to cheer and laugh.

"Now, back to Asshole Inc. over here. Yes, you did win the BTWF Championship from me at Bash at the Beach and I have to give you props for that. However, if you think I'm just going to roll over and let you belittle me and all the fans here in Richmond, then you have another thing coming," Natsu said, pointing at Kaworu. Kaworu simply pushed Natsu's finger away from his face before he began talking again.

"Mr. Dragoneel…it's not belittling if it's true," he countered, as Natsu chuckled.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night. Now, I actually wanted to come out here to tell you the good news. You see, I talked to Tanya and Arthur backstage, and they agreed that at Cyber Sunday, I would get my title rematch in a 2 out of 3 falls match!" Natsu exclaimed, causing the crowd cheered as Kaworu's face contorted to one of shock.

"And that's not even the best part! The fans will get to pick what kind of 2 out of 3 falls match we're going to have. They can select whether it would be a regular 2 out of 3 falls match, a 2 out of 3 falls match with no disqualifications or count-outs, or we can make it a 3 Stages of Hell match!" Natsu exclaimed as the crowd cheered louder, while the people sitting in the chairs looked on in shock. Kaworu looked up at Natsu in shock, turning around with his fingers pinching the bridge of his nose. He then turned around and sucker-punched Natsu in the face, sending him down to the floor.

"Well, that wasn't very professional of Kaworu!" Beth exclaimed, as Kaworu mounted Natsu and started punching and elbowing him while all the people he invited to the celebration got out of the ring. Kaworu ripped off his black suit jacket and took off his pink tie before taking his BTWF Championship and holding up for the crowd to see.

"True, but it also wasn't very professional of Natsu to just barge in on Kaworu's championship celebration," Okabe countered. However, Natsu had gotten up by this point and hit Kaworu with a jumping spin kick to the head of Kaworu. Natsu ran the ropes and hit a Rolling Fire (Rolling Thunder) onto Kaworu before climbing up the top rope for the Five Star Dragon Splash (Five Star Frog Splash). However, Kaworu grabbed his championship off of the floor and got out of the ring, causing the crowd to boo.

"Well Kaworu barely avoided the Five Star Dragon Splash, but will that be his future come Cyber Sunday?" Cornette asked as Kaworu left the ring with his championship glaring at Natsu who was celebrating in the ring with the cheering fans.

"Kaworu is a smart man, I'm sure he's got a plan for the Five Star Dragon Splash. In fact, I'm sure he's going to go back home and plan for all possibilities," Okabe countered, as Kaworu made his way to the back before the camera panned to the backstage area, where Matt Striker was standing next to Joe Wolf and Charlie Bonifer.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Age of Aggression, Joe Wolf and Charlie Bonifer," Matt Striker introduced before Joe Wolf took the microphone and pushed Striker away from him.

"Striker, you're not needed here. I know what you're going to ask; what do you think of not only Valentino and Arnold winning their match, but your match in a couple of weeks? Well…we don't care about those two dorks, and we're not only going to win the match, but also win the vote at Cyber Sunday, and the World Tag Team Titles from the NWO," Joe Wolf explained before he threw the microphone at Striker and left along with Bonifer as the camera panned to a commercial break.

*Commercial Break*

*Commercial Over*

The camera panned to the interview area, where Jack Korpela was standing with a microphone in his hand.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time, the former #1 contender for the BTWF United States title, Mercury Black!" Jack Korpela exclaimed as Mercury Black walked into the shot, with the crowd booing as he did.

"Now Mercury, you had an absolute classic match for the United States title at Bash at the Beach. However, you came up just short. I wanted to ask you…what's next for you?" Jack Korpela asked before Mercury took a few deep breaths before responding.

"The fact that I'm not eligible for the United States title match at Cyber Sunday is an insult to me. As for what I'm going to do…I'll get a title shot…whether it be for the United States title…the BTWF title…even the Hardcore title…But rest assured, I WILL be getting a title around my waist," Mercury said before walking off as the camera panned to the commentator's booth where the BTWF World Women's Champion Rei Ayanami was sitting next to Rintaro Okabe on the commentary table.

"Ladies and gentlemen, before our next match, I'd like to welcome the BTWF World Women's Champion, Rei Ayanami," Okabe introduced, as Rei waved at the fans.

"Hello, and thank you for inviting me here. I wanted to see the new #1 contender being crowned personally," Rei responded as Cornette nodded.

"That's right Rei, in just a moment, we have a match between Asuka Langley Soryu and Zoey Hanson and the winner will get a match for the Women's title at Cyber Sunday," Cornette explained before 'I am Perfection' by Cage9 played as the crowd booed as Asuka came out, glaring at the crowd.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the #1 contendership for the BTWF World Women's Championship. Introducing first, from Berlin Germany, she is the leader of the Beautiful People, Asuka Langley Soryu!" Justin Roberts announced as the crowd booed Asuka stomping her way to the ring.

"Asuka looks more serious than she's ever been," Beth explained, as Asuka rolled into the ring, and pointed right at Rei's title, and yelled at her that it was coming back home to her.

"I've beaten Asuka before, and if she manages to win this match, I could do it again," Rei commented, as 'Time to Shine' by Saliva played, as the crowd cheered Zoey Hanson coming out and running to the ring, with her hands outstretched so that she could hi-five the fans.

"And her opponent, from Tokyo Japan, Zoey Hanson!" Justin Roberts announced as the crowd continued to cheer as he rolled underneath the ring and got into Asuka's face.

"You have to imagine Zoey's tension and stress is at an all-time high given the return of Akira Hayami," Cornette explained, as the bell rang. Asuka started punching Zoey in the face and the gut, sending her into the corner before she started stomping on Zoey's chest. Asuka ran to the other corner and attempted a running clothesline, but Zoey countered by grabbing her arm and hitting her with a Japanese arm drag that caused Asuka to immediately bail out of the ring. She immediately went to the commentators' position and started yelling at Rei again.

"You should really focus on your match," Rei said with a deadpanned expression on her face. Right after she said that Zoey turned Asuka around and punched her in the face multiple times before throwing her into the ring. Before going back into the ring, Zoey patted Rei's Women's Championship before going onto the ring apron and springboarded into the ring with a dropkick that hit Asuka in the face before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…

Asuka kicked out, and Zoey responded with multiple standing kicks to the chest, that sent her into the corner. Zoey ran the ropes and hit multiple corner dropkicks onto Asuka before hitting her with a snap suplex. Asuka attempted to go out onto the apron, but Zoey pulled her into the center of the ring and hit her with a knee drop to the head, causing the crowd to cheer, before going for another pin.

Ref: 1…2

"Zoey is dominating this match so far, knowing that only a month ago, she was considered a top contender for the women's championship," Beth explained, as Asuka kicked out and rolled onto the apron, causing the crowd to boo.

"After her match with Akira Hayami at WarZone, I could believe that Zoey would make an eligible contender for this title," Rei responded, nodding as Zoey Hanson ran at Asuka, hitting her with a running dropkick that sent Asuka crashing face-first into the fan barricade. Zoey then ran the ropes and hit a springboard spinning crossbody onto Asuka, causing the crowd to cheer. Zoey picked Asuka up and slammed her head into the fan barricade before throwing her into the steel ring post. However, Asuka was able to stop herself from banging her head into the ring post.

Ref: 1…2…3

"Asuka able to stop herself from getting hurt even more than she already has been," Cornette stated, as Zoey attempted to grab Asuka. Asuka responded by grabbing Zoey's hair and throwing her face-first into the steel ring post, causing the crowd to boo.

"I may have had many issues with Asuka in the past, but she is very smart when it comes to what is in and out of the ring and how to use it to her advantage," Rei explained, as Asuka smashed Zoey's face into the steel ring post again while the referee continued to count.

Ref: 4…5

Asuka threw Zoey back into the ring, and slid back into the ring as well, kicking her in the gut before putting her in a seated position and started elbowing her head, causing a cut to open on the top of her forehead. Asuka kept her in a seated position before running the ropes and hitting a neck snap onto Zoey before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2

"And now that Asuka has control of this match, you know that she will be very hard to stop," Okabe stated as Asuka threw Zoey face-first into the corner before clubbing Zoey in the back with her elbow while the crowd continued to boo her and chant for Zoey. Asuka yells at the fans before grabbing Zoey by the hair and throwing her face-first onto the ground before pinning her again.

Ref: 1…2

Zoey kicked out, and Asuka immediately locked in a Figure 4 Leg Lock.

"Asuka using a leg hold so that she can weaken Zoey's legs enough to use her new submission, the Spinning Toe Hold!" Okabe exclaimed, as Zoey attempted to grab the ropes but Asuka was able to pull her back into the center of the ring.

"If Zoey doesn't break out of this hold or get to the ropes, she may have to tap out here," Beth lamented as Zoey punched Asuka in the face multiple times, but Asuka countered with punches of her own and hit her with an uppercut to the throat before continuing to wring in the Figure 4 Leg Lock.

"I know Zoey, and I know she would rather lose consciousness than tap out, even if it was to an athlete like Asuka," Rei stated, as Zoey was finally able to crawl to the ropes, grabbing the bottom rope with both of her hands, causing the crowd to cheer as Asuka was forced to release the hold. Asuka attempted to grab Zoey's legs again, but Zoey was able to push her back with her legs and attempted to run at her with a clothesline, but Asuka was able to counter with a side kick to the face before going for the pin while the crowd started booing Asuka.

Ref: 1…2

Zoey rolled her shoulder out, and Asuka responded by attempting to put Zoey in a headlock. At first, Zoey seemed to be locked in another submission hold. However, Zoey was able to counter with a sit-out jawbreaker and hit Asuka with an STO before going into the corner to catch her breath. The crowd chanted for Zoey as Asuka started getting back to her feet, which Zoey responded to with two double axe handles, a spinning heel kick, and a back body drop onto Asuka. While Asuka was in a seated position, Zoey ran the ropes and hit Asuka with a Meteora, causing the crowd to cheer.

"Double knees to the face of Asuka! This could be it!" Beth exclaimed before Zoey pinned her with her knees on Asuka's arms and both of Asuka's legs being held by Zoey.

Ref: 1…2..

Asuka was barely able to roll her shoulders up off of the canvas and Zoey responded to this by standing her up, and attempting the Cat Attack (Boston Knee Party). However, Asuka was able to hold onto Zoey and attempted a running powerbomb, but Zoey was able to roll Asuka into another pinning predicament.

Ref: 1…2

"Zoey not giving up on this championship opportunity!" Cornette exclaimed as Zoey hit a dropkick onto Asuka's face sending her into the corner. Zoey ran into the corner, attempting a running knee to Asuka's face, but Asuka was able to duck causing Zoey to send her knee crashing into the top turnbuckle and sending one of her feet stuck between the 2nd and 3rd turnbuckle. Asuka countered by climbing up to the 2nd rope and hitting a back suplex onto Zoey, sending them both of them crashing down to the ring canvas.

"And Asuka was able to regain control of this match with a back suplex from the 2nd rope!" Beth exclaimed as the crowd booed Asuka going on top of Zoey for the pin.

Ref: 1…2

Zoey picked out and Asuka immediately started stomping on the right knee of Zoey.

"Asuka is clearly trying to weaken Zoey's legs for that new Spinning Toe Hold submission hold that she used against me at WarZone. I can say that it was a painful hold when he put it on me, so Zoey needs to make sure she avoids that particular hold," Rein explained, as Asuka grabbed her leg and hit her with a Foot DDT multiple times before picking her up and hitting her with a shin breaker before putting her in a Single Leg Boston Crab.

"Well with this hold locked in, she may not need the Spinning Toe Hold!" Cornette exclaimed as Zoey tried to crawl to the ropes while Asuka started punching her in the knee. Asuka then dragged Zoey back to the center of the ring.

"You're right, Jim, especially with those vicious shots to the knee by Asuka!" Beth responded, as Zoey turned around and started clubbing Asuka in the back, and wouldn't stop until Asuka let go of her, causing the crowd to cheer. However, when Zoey got back to her feet, Asuka started kicking Zoey in the leg multiple times and hit her with a DDT before going for another pin, holding both her legs up.

Ref: 1…2..

Zoey rolled her shoulders up, causing Asuka to run her hands through her hair before going into the corner, prepping for a running move. When Zoey got up, Asuka attempted another running big boot, but Zoey was able to hit Asuka with a Cat Attack (Boston Knee Party), causing the crowd to cheer and turning Asuka inside out.

"The Cat Attack from out of nowhere!" Beth exclaimed, as Zoey quickly went for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

Asuka rolled her shoulder off of the mat, causing the crowd to chant for Zoey, before she put Asuka on her knees, and started kicking her in the chest multiple times before riling up the crowd and kicking Asuka in the head, sending her face-first onto the canvas. Zoey looked up at the top rope, causing the crowd to cheer before she started climbing up the top rope. However, due to the damage done to her leg, she was climbing up the ropes slower than normal.

"And Zoey looks as though she's going high risk for the first time since the beginning of this match!" Okabe exclaimed as Asuka started to stir while Zoey continued to climb, with the crowd chanting for her.

"I wouldn't recommend that Zoey do this, especially with all the damage Asuka delivered to her leg," Rei explained, as by the time Zoey was able to get to the top rope. Asuka ran to her and started punching Zoey in the face, causing her to fall ass first onto the top turnbuckle. Asuka then climbed to the 2nd rope, but turned Zoey around, with her back facing Asuka. Before Asuka did anything, she turned to Rei and started yelling at her again.

"Asuka is confident in her chances right now to the point where she's taking her eye off the ball!" Beth exclaimed as Asuka put Zoey in position for the Unprettier (Reverse Suplex) from the top rope.

"Oh! She's trying to hit her finishing move from the top of the rope!" Okabe exclaimed. However, Zoey was able to punch Asuka in the face multiple times, causing her to let go of Zoey. Zoey grabbed her in a Salina Del Sol position and hitting her with a Salina Del Sol from the top rope, causing the crowd to get off their feet cheering, before locking her in the Cat Nap (Crossface Chickenwing).

"Zoey has the Cat Nap on in! This could be it!" Beth exclaimed as Asuka tried to drag herself to the ropes, but the Salina Del Sol from the top rope caused her back to be in such pain that she couldn't drag herself to the ropes. Eventually, realizing that she had no choice, she tapped out to the hold, causing the referee to tell the timekeeper to ring the bell.

*Bell Rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner and new #1 contender for the BTWF World Women's Championship, Zoey Hanson!" Justin Roberts announced as the crowd cheered while Zoey was climbing up back to her feet using the ropes.

"That was an exceptional performance by Zoey. I believe that this will-" Rei began before Akira Hayami grabbed Rei by the hair and threw her into the timekeeper's area before running into the ring and speared Zoey to the ground, causing the crowd to boo.

"Another surprise attack by Akira Hayami onto the Women's Champion and the #1 contender!" Cornette exclaimed, as Akira grabbed Zoey's leg, and locked her in a Brock Lock while the crowd was booing her. However, those boos turned to cheers as Zia Simpson came to the ring apron and springboarded into the ring with a dropkick to the face of Akira Hayami before punching and elbowing her in the face. Akira started trading punches with Zia as well before Rei got into the ring and helped Zia take Akira down.

"The women's division has turned into complete chaos, and I have to say I like it!" Okabe exclaimed as multiple referees came to separate the women before Tanya von Degurechaff came out to address the women.

"Alright ladies, I think that's just about enough. If you all want to fight, next week there's going to be a 6 woman tag team match, were the Women's Champion Rei Ayanami, Zoey Hanson, and Zia Simpson going against Akira Hayami, Asuka Langley Soryu, and Clover Lamoreaux!" Tanya announced as the crowd cheered at this news.

"Now, please vacate the ring so that we can get the main event started," Tanya ordered, as the woman all left with the referees in tow.

"That is an exciting sounding 6 woman tag for Octane next week!" Beth exclaimed, with Cornette and Okabe nodding in agreement.

"That's why we're one of the best up and coming wrestling shows in the Fiction Wrestling Multiverse!" Okabe exclaimed before the camera panned to the backstage area, where Valentino and Arnold were in the corner of the locker room, talking to each other while Valentino was holding a letter in his hand. Todd Grisham came into their locker room with a microphone in his hand.

"Uhhh…gentlemen? I came to ask you with a question," Todd said, causing Arnold and Valentino to turn to him and chuckle uncomfortably.

"Sorry about that Todd, I just found this letter in my bag," Valentino confessed, showing the letter to Todd.

"It looks like a love letter Valentino," Todd stated causing Valentino to blush slightly and Arnold to pat him on the back. "Do you have any idea who sent it to you?" Todd asked.

"No I don't actually, and I have no idea who would, but…but didn't you have a question you wanted to ask?" Valentino asked, still blushing, causing Arnold to hold his chuckles in.

"Oh! Right! How do you guys feel about being one of the three contenders eligible for a tag team title shot at Cyber Sunday?" Todd Grisham asked.

"We earned this shot, and we know that we have the fans behind us, so…we have all the confidence in the world," Arnold responded, before the BTWF World Tag Team Champions, Sheldon Lee and Naruto came into the locker room and laughed at them.

"Do—do you really think that you have a chance? Like…even if you managed to get the fan vote, you're just going to lose to us like everyone else who has stepped to us," Sheldon said before Naruto swiped the love note from Valentino's hand.

"If I were you, I'd be focusing more on the troll who sent you this stupid 'love note'," Naruto mocked before he ripped the note in front of Valentino and threw the note in his face. Valentino responded by tackling Naruto to the ground and started punching him in the face before Arnold and Sheldon Lee started punching each other as Todd Grisham left the two teams to fight as the camera panned to a commercial break.

*Commercial Break*

*Commercial Over*

The camera panned to Pete Corvus barging into the office of Arthur Morgan and Tanya von Degurechaff.

"I don't care what you're doing! I want a rematch with that son of a bitch for the Hardcore Championship!" Corvus yelled, as Arthur put his paperwork down and looked right at Pete's angry face.

"You have some balls coming into this office and thinking that you can just come in here and give us orders," Arthur started as he got up off of his chair and walked up to Pete. "You lost the tables match fair and square, and you're lucky we even gave you that. And because you're mad you lost, so you better get the hell out of our office right now before I throw you out of this damn office right now!" Arthur exclaimed as Tanya smirked at Pete's shocked face. However, shortly after, Pete's face turned into a wide smile, surprising Arthur and Tanya.

"OK…I'm going to get that title shot one way or another," Pete mumbled before he turned around and walked out of the office, leaving Arthur and Tanya confused as the camera panned to the ring where 'Zero Visibility' by Rise Against played. The crowd booed as Ed came walking out to the ring with a now rare smile on his face.

"The following contest is a Falls Count Anywhere match scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring-" Justin Roberts began to introduce before Mordecai came running from the back tackling Ed from behind and giving him a bunch of forearms to the back of the head.

"Mordecai starting this match with fire and vengeance fueling him!" Cornette exclaimed. The referee came running to the entranceway where Mordecai was beating Ed up and rang the bell.

*Bell rings*

Mordecai picked Ed up and hit multiple chops to the chest before throwing him into the fan barricade. Mordecai started stomping on Ed before he choked him with his foot. Mordecai let go of Ed and picked him up before slamming him onto the entranceway with a scoop slam before hitting a jumping leg drop onto Ed's neck before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2

"This match is not only for bragging rights between these two former partners, but this is also for an opportunity for a BTWF United States title match against Shinji Ikari at Cyber Sunday!" Okabe exclaimed as Mordecai picked Ed up and threw him into the fan barricade before he started punching him in the face multiple times. Ed poked Mordecai in the eye and pushed him away before he ran to the ring, and got a steel chair from underneath the ring. When Ed turned around, Mordecai dropkicked the chair into Ed's face and pinned him again.

Ref: 1…2

Mordecai picked the chair up from Ed and started battering him in the back with it. By the time Mordecai stopped, the chair bent, causing the crowd to cheer and chant for more chair shots. Mordecai obliged until Ed crawled underneath the ring.

"Ed is trying to run away from the beating that Mordecai is giving him, and I honestly don't blame him," Beth explained, as Mordecai looked underneath the ring.

"He's not running away Beth, he's trying to get his bearing back and come up with a new strategy," Okabe countered, before a shot of white smoke came out of the bottom of the ring, hitting Mordecai in the face. The crowd booed when Ed came out of the ring with a fire extinguisher in his hands.

"Well Ed came up with a plan all right, and it may have gotten the momentum back in his favor," Cornette responded before Ed started battering Mordecai's back with the fire extinguisher before using the hose to choke Mordecai, yelling at the fans who were booing him. Ed then grabbed Mordecai's hair and threw him into the steel steps multiple times before grabbing his head and smashing it on the top of the steel steps multiple times before going for another pin.

Ref: 1…2

Mordecai kicked out, and Ed responded by throwing him back into the ring. Ed laughed as he went underneath the ring and grabbed multiple kendo sticks and a trash can before throwing them into the ring. Ed went back into the ring, where Mordecai was up, and the crowd cheered as Mordecai punched him in the face multiple times before Ed grabbed him by the face and scoop slammed him onto the trash can before running the ropes, hitting him with a leg drop and going for another pin.

Ref: 1…2

"And now we're finally getting the action back into the ring!" Cornette exclaimed as Ed picked Mordecai up and threw him into the corner, stomping him until he fell to the bottom turnbuckle. Ed started choking Mordecai with his foot, yelling at him that he was dead weight, causing the crowd to boo and chant 'Ed sucks'.

"Ed is in complete control of this match, and you know he's going to take his time unleashing pain onto the man he hates the most in BTWF!" Beth exclaimed as Ed ran the ropes and hit Mordecai with a running knee to the face while he was still in the bottom turnbuckle before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2

Ed grabbed Mordecai, dragged him into the center of the ring and put him in a headlock while yelling in his ear.

"Well if Ed wants to have an opportunity at the United States championship, he should pin Mordecai whenever he gets the chance because these opportunities don't come around too often," Okabe explained, as Mordecai tried to drag himself away from Ed, but Ed started clubbing him in the chest before continuing to wring in the headlock.

"Well given how hard Ed is squeezing Mordecai with this headlock, he may just win via referee stoppage," Cornette responded before Mordecai was able to get back to his feet. He tried to walk to the kendo sticks in the ring, but Ed pulled him back into the corner with the headlock still locked on. Mordecai used his free arms to hit multiple elbows onto Ed, allowing Mordecai to escape the hold.

"Maybe not Jim! Mordecai was able to escape the headlock!" Beth exclaimed as Mordecai ran to where the Kendo sticks were and grabbed one. When Ed got out of the corner, Mordecai hit him multiple times in the gut with the Kendo stick, causing the crowd to cheer. However, Ed was able to grab the Kendo stick during one of the shots and grabbed it out of Mordecai's hand. Ed kicked Mordecai in the gut and hit him on the top of the head with the Kendo stick, causing the crowd to wince.

"That shot to the head may be all she wrote for Mordecai here," Cornette stated, as Ed went for the pin.

Ref: 1…2

Mordecai rolled his shoulder out of the ring, and out of anger, Ed grabbed the Kendo stick and started hitting him with it over and over, causing the crowd to boo and chant for Mordecai. Ed continued hitting Mordecai with the Kendo stick until it broke in half. However, this did nothing to assuage him as he used half of the broken Kendo stick to rake it on the back and forehead, causing Mordecai to roll out of the ring in pain, as wounds started to open up on both his back and forehead.

"Mordecai looking for some reprieve out here as he examines the wounds he just received," Okabe stated as Ed rolled underneath the ring and punched him in the face multiple times, causing the wounds to open up even more and more blood to pour out of Mordecai's head. Ed then grabbed one of the monitors on the announcers' table and hit Mordecai in the face with it before going for another pin.

Ref: 1…2.

"Mordecai just will not go down!" Beth exclaimed excitedly, as Ed threw the monitor onto the floor in anger, breaking it into pieces.

"Resiliency is all well and good Beth, but Mordecai has to start thinking of his career at some point," Cornette countered, as Mordecai crawled in front of the steel steps. Ed ran at him, attempting another knee to the face, but Mordecai was able to counter with a drop toe hold, sending Ed face-first into the top of the steel steps, causing the crowd to cheer.

"I have to agree with Jim on this one. These men need to realize that they're playing Russian Roulette with their careers in a match like this," Okabe explained, as Mordecai went to the announcers' table and took the table cover off of it and threw it at Ed before removing the remaining monitors off of the table. Mordecai took both of the monitors and threw it at Ed's stomach, causing the crowd to cheer.

"I don't know about you two, but I don't like what Mordecai has planned here," Cornette lamented as Mordecai started walking towards Ed.

"How do you know what he has planned here, Jim?" Beth asked as Mordecai grabbed Ed by the top of the head and dragged him to the announcers' table.

"I've been in wrestling long enough to know what wrestlers have planned when they strip the announcers' table bare," Cornette explained, as Mordecai threw Ed onto the announcers' table and clubbed him in the chest and face before he jumped onto the apron and took his shirt off and threw it into the crowd, causing the crowd to cheer. Mordecai climbed up the top rope with his back facing the ropes before diving onto Ed with a leg drop, causing the crowd to cheer and the announcers' table to break.

"MORDECAI JUST BROKE OUR ANNOUNCERS' TABLE WITH THAT DEVASTATING LEG DROP!" Beth shouted as the crowd chanted 'Holy Shit!' Mordecai roared to the cheering crowd before going for another pin.

Ref: 1…2

Ed kicked out, shocking Mordecai and the rest of the crowd.

"I am just…flabbergasted that the match is not over yet!" Cornette exclaimed, as Mordecai rolled Ed back into the ring, picked him back up, and hit him with two clotheslines, a reverse atomic drop, and a DDT. After soaking in more cheers from the crowd, Mordecai picked Ed up again and hit him with a Whisper in the Wind. Mordecai prepped for the Twist of Fate, as the crowd cheered. However, when Ed got up he countered the Twist of Fate attempt and pushed Mordecai into the corner. Ed grabbed the trash can lid and hit him in the back with it. Ed attempted to pick Mordecai back up, but Mordecai was able to counter with a sit-out jawbreaker and hit a Twist of Fate onto hi, causing the crowd to cheer. However, Mordecai was not able to pin Ed immediately due to the pain in his back.

"Mordecai was able to hit the Twist of Fate, but he can't make the pin due to the damage done to his back!" Cornette exclaimed as both men continued to writhe in pain.

"It must be complicated for both Ed and Mordecai. They want to cause as much damage as possible to each other due to their burning hatred for each other, but they also want to take every opportunity to pin each other so that they can become a contender for the BTWF United States championship," Okabe explained, as Mordecai rolled out of the ring, and grabbed a table from underneath the ring. Mordecai pushed it into the ring, much to the delight of the fans, before rolling back to the ring.

"I think Mordecai has finally decided to end this match!" Beth exclaimed as Mordecai set up a table in front of a corner. Mordecai then picked Ed up, and hit him with a Twist of Hate, putting him on the table before climbing up the top rope.

"Mordecai has to be careful, as that Swanton Bomb has cost him matches in the past," Cornette explained as Mordecai made it to the top rope, still holding his back in pain.

"That's why he hit a Twist of Hate onto Ed so that he could make sure Ed is down for sure," Beth countered, as Mordecai dived off of the top rope with a Swanton Bomb onto Ed, sending him through the table causing the crowd to cheer loudly.

"Well, I guess the curse of the Swanton Bomb has finally been lifted!" Okabe exclaimed as Mordecai rolled onto Ed's prone body, signaling the pin.

*Bell rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is our winner, Mordecai!" Justin Roberts announced, as the crowd cheered Mordecai, who was still on the floor near unconscious from his battle with Ed.

"Mordecai has won! He won the match, taking his first step onto getting back on track in his career!" Cornette exclaimed as the referee held a still downed Mordecai's arm up.

"He has now been selected to be an option for Cyber Sunday's BTWF United States Championship match alongside Soul Eater Evans and Owen!" Beth exclaimed as the referee helped Mordecai back up to his feet and out of the ring, as Mordecai limped to the back, hi-fiving fans on his way.

"Despite all the pain Mordecai suffered in this match, he must feel like he's on Cloud 9," Okabe stated.

"That's right Okabe. Not only did he use the Swanton Bomb against Ed to beat him, but he also is now one of the three contenders for the BTWF United States championship!" Beth exclaimed as the crowd continued to cheer Mordecai walking to the back and Ed was just starting to regain consciousness.

"Well on that note everyone, I'm Jim Cornette and for Beth Vanderwood, Rintaro Okabe, and the rest of the BTWF family, have a goodnight everyone, we'll see you next week, and don't forget to vote!" Cornette exclaimed as he, Beth, and Okabe waved goodbye to the audience at home as the camera faded to black.
