BTWF Cyber Sunday (Day 2 Part 4)
The camera panned to the backstage interview area, where Mirai Kuriyama was standing with a microphone and Mordecai standing next to her.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with Mordecai, who could've had the last match with Shinji Ikari for the United States Championship. My question for you is what's next after not being selected for the United States Championship match?" Mirai asked as Mordecai stroked his chin in thought.
"You know Mirai, I still plan on getting a championship around my waist. But, there is one thing that I want to do before I focus on championship gold," Mordecai replied before turning around, showing Ed attempting to walk behind Mordecai. Mordecai smirked at a surprised Ed before kicking him in the gut and throwing him into the wall.
"I want to finally finish things with Ed," Mordecai finished with a smirk once he turned back to Kuriyama. Before he could leave, he noticed Shinji throwing Mercury into the wall and beating him up as referees and security tried to pull him away. As Shinji was distracted by the people trying to hold him back, Mercury poked him in the eye and ran off. Mirai ran away from Mordecai and the interview area and put a microphone under his mouth.
"Shinji? I just wanted to ask what happened," Mirai asked, slightly backing away after seeing Shinji's angry breathing.
"Mercury wanted my attention. He's got it," was all Shinji said before he left as the camera panned back to the stage, where 'War' by the Sick Puppies played, causing the crowd to explode into cheers as Natsu Dragneel ran out of the back and jumped up with his arms up and did the RVD taunt, saying 'Dragneel' instead of 'R-V-D' before making his way to the ring.
"The following contest is a 2 out of 3 falls match, and is for the BTWF Championship! Introducing the challenger, from Magnolia, Fiore, Natsu Dragneel!" Tim Barr exclaimed as the crowd cheered while Natsu started hi-fiving and fist-bumping fans on his way to the ring, before doing his 'Dragneel' taunt, causing fireworks to go off behind him.
"Natsu and Kaworu's rivalry has gotten hotter month to month, and they will continue this feud in one of the most physically taxing matches in wrestling!" Beth exclaimed as Natsu rolled into the ring from underneath the bottom rope before going up to the top rope and doing his 'Dragneel' taunt with the crowd doing it along with him.
"Natsu has been on top of this industry, and he wants to get the championship that took him to the top back!" Okabe exclaimed before Natsu jumped down from the top rope and went into the corner to wait for Kaworu. Just as he got into the corner, Damien Sandow's 2014 'Hallelujah' theme song started playing, causing the crowd to boo as Kaworu came out in a new gold and dark blue robe.
"And introducing the champion, from Tokyo Japan, he is the BTWF Champion, Kaworu Nagisa!" Tim Barr announced as the crowd continued to boo while Kaworu walked to the ring and went up onto the apron, glaring a hole through Natsu, who was glaring back at him.
"You can cut the tension with a knife, as the BTWF Champion makes his way to the ring for this 2 out of 3 falls contest," Cornette noted as Kaworu made his way into the ring and took off his robe before hanging it off of the turnbuckle. Kaworu then took off the BTWF Championship and handed it to the referee while the crowd continued to boo him and chant for Natsu. The camera then panned to Scott Stanford standing behind the podium to show the final match stipulation of the PPV.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the final match of the evening, and we have the rest of your votes to show. Did you all vote for a regular 2/3 falls match? A 2/3 falls match with no count-outs or disqualifications? Or a Three Stages of Hell match?" Scott asked as the camera panned to the TitanTron, and after a brief drumroll, the words 'Three Stages of Hell' appeared on screen, causing the crowd to cheer as Tim Barr began talking again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this match is a Three Stages of Hell match. The first fall will be a singles match, the second fall will be a street fight, and the third match, if necessary, will be a steel cage match!" Tim Barr announced as the crowd continued to cheer before the bell rang. Immediately after the bell rang, Natsu and Kaworu ran to the middle ring and started punching each other in the middle of the ring with the crowd cheering and chanting for Natsu as Natsu was able to win this brawl by using both of his fists and then hit a leg sweep on Kaworu before going for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…
"And these two came out swinging! Their hatred for each other knows no bounds!" Okabe exclaimed as Kaworu got back up to his feet and kneed Natsu in the gut a couple of times before Irish whipping him into the ropes, but Natsu was able to springboard off of the middle rope and hit Kaworu with a Springboard Kick before running the ropes and hitting a Float Over DDT onto Kaworu and going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2
"Natsu trying to get the first pinfall victory in this match early so that he can keep his stamina and energy for the rest of the match," Cornette explained as Natsu mounted Kaworu and punched him in the face before the referee pulled him off. The crowd booed as Natsu backed off, which allowed Kaworu to kick Natsu in the leg multiple times, allowing Kaworu enough time to get up before running the ropes and sending Natsu outside of the ring with a clothesline, causing the crowd to boo even louder. However, the crowd cheered again when they saw that Natsu was on his feet and grabbed Kaworu by his feet and pulled him from the bottom rope, and started punching him in the face.
"Natsu has been dominating the early goings of this match, which I would imagine is quite surprising considering that Kaworu has been noted to have an advantage in a technical setting!" Beth exclaimed as Natsu threw Kaworu into the fan barricade multiple times head first before picking him up in a suplex position and dropped him chest first onto the top of the fan barricade. Natsu then clubbed Kaworu in the back multiple times before going up on top of the apron, much to the crowd's delight as the referee started counting.
Ref: 1…2…3
"We all know what Natsu is going to do here, but is it a wise move to do this so early into a Three Stages of Hell match!?" Beth exclaimed as Natsu did the 'Dragneel' taunt before jumping off of the apron and hitting Kaworu with a spinning leg drop across the back of his neck, causing the crowd to cheer as Kaworu fell off of the fan barricade and Natsu pulled him up by the hair before throwing him back into the ring. The crowd cheered as Natsu got onto the apron and springboarded back into the ring with a leg drop before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
"Natsu with that springboard leg drop into the ring, but we can see that Natsu has slightly damaged his leg from that spinning leg drop onto the apron," Cornette explained as Kaworu got up from the pin and Natsu got up, lightly slapping his right leg before picking Kaworu up and throwing him into the corner. The crowd cheered as Natsu ran into the corner, hitting Kaworu in the face with a spinning kick before pushing him away and springboarding off of the 2nd rope with a crossbody to Kaworu's back before turning him around and going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2.
Kaworu kicked out and attempted to roll onto the apron, but Natsu was able to grab him and pull him back to the center of the ring. Natsu then picked Kaworu up and attempted to lift him up for a suplex. However, Kaworu was able to keep his feet on the ground and hit him with a jawbreaker, causing the crowd to boo. Kaworu then attempted to pick Natsu up for a back suplex of his own, but Natsu was able to flip out of it, causing the crowd to go back to cheering. However, Natsu seemed to have tweaked his knee as he went down to one knee before he checked on it.
"I think that high-risk maneuver early into the match has caught up with Natsu," Okabe noted as Natsu attempted to get up and hit a standing Kaworu with a clothesline, but Kaworu was able to duck, run the ropes, and hit Natsu's seemingly damaged right leg with a chop block, causing the crowd to boo as Kaworu picked Natsu up and hit him with multiple Shin Breakers before hitting him with a back suplex. Kaworu turned to the booing crowd, and gave them a curtsy, causing the crowd to boo even louder.
"Kaworu showing off his smarts by taking Natsu's legs up with that vicious chop block!" Beth exclaimed as Kaworu started stomping on Natsu's right leg before grabbing his leg and slamming it into the ring canvas, causing the crowd to boo as he ran the ropes and hit a sitting Natsu with a seated clothesline before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2
"Kaworu has taken control of this match!" Beth exclaimed as Kaworu immediately picked Natsu's leg back up and started kicking the back of his knee before hitting his leg with multiple Foot DDTs before running the ropes and hitting multiple knee drops to both Natsu's face and his right leg. The crowd booed as Kaworu gave them another curtsy before he picked Natsu up and threw him into the corner, raining down forearms on his face before grabbing his right leg and hanging it off of the middle rope.
"What does Kaworu have planned here!?" Cornette asked as Kaworu kicked the side of Natsu's leg before stretching the leg while it was still in the ropes. The referee pushed him off, and Kaworu responded by running the ropes and hitting the side of Natsu's knee with his own knee before running the ropes again and hit the side of Natsu's knee with a dropkick, causing the crowd to boo loudly and Natsu to fall down to the bottom turnbuckle. Kaworu used his foot to scrape and mockingly kick Natsu in the face, causing the crowd to boo even louder as he smirked at a hurt Natsu.
"Kaworu knows he's in control, and his ego is starting to show because of it!" Beth exclaimed as Kaworu ran the ropes and hit Natsu with a running dropkick to the face before he continued to stomp on Natsu before taking his right leg and pulling him into the middle of the ring and pinning him.
Ref: 1…2.
"Kaworu's main target is his leg, but it is very interesting to see Kaworu target other parts of Natsu's anatomy," Okabe commented as Kaworu stood over Natsu, put his pointer finger over his mouth, telling the crowd to 'Shhhhhh' before he hit Natsu with the Elbow of Disdain before hitting a jumping leg drop across Natsu's throat before grabbing Natsu's right leg and stomped on his knee multiple times before locking Natsu's right leg in a Legbar. The crowd was booing Kaworu and chanted for Natsu as the latter tried to crawl to the ropes to get the referee to break the hold.
"Kaworu with that Legbar locked in tight! Natsu may have to tap out here!" Cornette exclaimed as Natsu was fingertips away from the ropes before Kaworu kicked Natsu in the face multiple times and dragged Natsu back to the center of the ring, causing the crowd to boo even louder and cheer for Natsu even more. Natsu was able to get back in a seated position, allowing him to punch Kaworu in the face multiple times, causing the crowd to cheer, as Natsu was able to slip out of Kaworu's weakened grip on the Legbar. Natsu ran the ropes and attempted a Rolling Fire (Rolling Thunder) onto Kaworu, but Kaworu was able to get his knees up, causing Natsu's back to land right on his knees.
"And Kaworu makes sure that Natsu doesn't take back control of this match!" Beth exclaimed before Kaworu threw Natsu into the steel ring post and ran the ropes to dropkick Natsu's side, causing him to fall off of the corner, causing the crowd to boo as Natsu landed face-first onto the padded concrete floor. Kaworu then rolled out of the ring, picked Natsu up via a Half Nelson, and kneed him in the gut multiple times before hitting Natsu with a Uranage and then picked him up again before Kaworu hit Natsu with a DDT onto the floor before hitting him with a jumping stomp onto Natsu's right knee before going back to the ring as the referee was counting.
Ref: 1…2…3
"And it looks like Kaworu is trying to get a victory via count-out!" Cornette exclaimed as Kaworu sat in the corner as Natsu was still down on the floor.
Ref: 4…5…6
"It's a very cheap way of doing things, but considering he has potentially two other matches after this, ending the match as soon as possible is a smart move!" Beth responded as Natsu grabbed the ring apron, and used it to lift himself off of the ground, causing the crowd to cheer, clap, and chant for Natsu as he continued attempting to get back on his feet.
Ref: 7…8…
"Kaworu is a very smart man, Beth. You have to expect him to have genius tactics like this!" Okabe exclaimed as Natsu was finally able to get back to his feet and roll back into the ring, causing the crowd to cheer and Kaworu to look on in shock before he picked Natsu up in a Straight Jacket position, and attempted to hit the Straight Jacket Neckbreaker, but Natsu was able to turn himself away from the ropes and roll Kaworu up with a backslide, causing the crowd to cheer.
Ref: 1…2..
"Natsu is still in the fight! But, you have to wonder if it would've been better for him to just take the count-out loss!" Beth wondered out loud as Kaworu was able to escape the pin and attempted to grab Natsu for a DDT. However, the crowd cheered as Natsu started punching Kaworu's chest but Kaworu kicked Natsu in the gut and hit him with a Snap DDT, causing the crowd to boo as Kaworu started climbing up the top rope.
"You may have a point there, Beth. However, you know how proud Natsu can be," Cornette responded, as Kaworu dived off of the top rope with a knee drop, but Natsu was able to move out of the way, causing Kaworu's knee to hit the canvas, causing the crowd to cheer as Natsu started getting back to his feet again.
"Kaworu missed that diving knee from the top rope and may have damaged his own leg in the process!" Okabe exclaimed as Natsu hit Kaworu with multiple clotheslines, a spinning heel kick, a running crossbody, and a kick to the head of a seated Kaworu. The crowd cheered as Natsu dragged Kaworu to the corner and hit him with a Split Legged Moonsault before getting back to his feet and did the 'Dragneel' pose, causing the crowd to cheer even louder. Natsu then picked Kaworu up and hit him with a DDT of his own before going for a pin, using his legs to pull Kaworu's back further.
Ref: 1…2.
"Natsu is all fired up now!" Beth exclaimed as Kaworu attempted to sit up, but was preempted by a kick to the head by Natsu. Natsu ran the ropes and hit Kaworu with a Rolling Fire (Rolling Thunder) before picking Kaworu up, hit him in the gut with a spin kick, and ran the ropes to hit Kaworu with a basement dropkick to the side of the head before hitting him with a Gourdbuster and a jumping twisting leg drop before he went up to the top rope. The crowd cheered as Natsu balanced himself on the top rope, but Kaworu rolled onto the apron, causing the crowd to boo. However, the crowd's boos turned to cheers as Natsu still dived off of the top rope, hitting Kaworu with a Hurricanrana that sent him crashing into the fan barricade as the crowd chanted 'Holy Shit!'
"Natsu just sent Kaworu flying off of the apron with a hurricanrana from the top rope!" Cornette exclaimed as Natsu grabbed Kaworu and threw him back into the ring before going after him and rolling him on his back for a pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"This just shows how much regaining the BTWF Championship means to Natsu!" Beth exclaimed as Natsu started clapping, causing the crowd to clap along with him before he started running the ropes. However, Kaworu was able to get up and hit Natsu with a running knee to the face before hitting him with a Straight Jacket Neckbreaker and pinning him with a Jackknife pin, while also putting his feet on the ropes.
Ref: 1…2..
"The referee saw Kaworu's feet on the rope, and rightfully broke up the pin!" Okabe exclaimed as the referee kicked Kaworu's feet off of the ropes and stopped counting the pin. Kaworu glared at the referee before grabbing both of Natsu's legs and attempted to lock him in the Royal Arch, but Natsu was able to kick Kaworu off of him and into the corner. Natsu got up and hit Kaworu with multiple shoulder thrusts before he backflipped away from Kaworu before he ran into the corner, attempting a running shoulder thrust, but Kaworu was able to dodge, causing Natsu to throw himself into the steel ring post.
"And for the 2nd time tonight, Natsu gets thrown into the steel ring post arm first!" Beth exclaimed before Kaworu grabbed Natsu from the corner, and put him in a Full Nelson. The crowd booed as Kaworu hit Natsu with the Final Request (Sit-Out Full Nelson Slam) before going for the pin.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is the winner of the first fall, Kaworu Nagisa!" Tim Barr announced as the referee held Kaworu's arm up before the bell rang again, indicating that the street fight portion had started.
"Kaworu is in the lead with 1 victory to Natsu's lack of victories!" Okabe exclaimed as Kaworu went underneath the ring and got a table, a chair, two kendo sticks, and a trash can.
"And Kaworu is already preparing for the street fight!" Beth exclaimed as Kaworu threw all the items in the ring and curtsied to the crowd, causing them to boo, before he rolled into the ring and started stomping on Natsu's arm, causing the crowd to boo as Kaworu started stomping on Natsu's damaged right leg. The crowd booed as Kaworu picked Natsu up and punched him in the face multiple times before Irish whipping him into the corner. Kaworu ran into the corner with a clothesline and hit Natsu in the neck with multiple standing clotheslines before hitting him with multiple knees to the gut before hitting him with a suplex and going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
"Kaworu is keeping the control in this 2nd contest!" Okabe exclaimed before Kaworu grabbed one of the kendo sticks and started hitting Natsu in the back multiple times, causing the crowd to boo before Kaworu took the kendo stick, and used it to choke Natsu. The crowd booed louder as Kaworu started hitting Natsu's right arm and leg with the kendo stick before picking him up and hitting him with a back suplex. Kaworu kicked Natsu's right arm back next to his body before hitting another Elbow of Disdain and going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Natsu is still in this match, he's making Kaworu earn this 2nd win!" Beth exclaimed as Kaworu picked Natsu up and put him in a hammerlock before attempting to throw him into the corner, but Natsu was able to counter with a kick to Kaworu's head before springboarding off of the 2nd turnbuckle and hit Kaworu with a moonsault causing the crowd to cheer before Natsu started punching Kaworu while he was in a headlock, and due to the match being a street fight, the referee could do nothing as Kaworu began to bleed. Natsu finally got off of Kaworu and ran the ropes to hit him with a standing corkscrew senton before going for a pin, causing the crowd to cheer.
Ref: 1…2..
"Natsu seems to finally be getting back into this match!" Cornette exclaim as Natsu pulled Kaworu up by the hair and started kicking him in the legs and sides before throwing him onto the apron, causing the crowd to cheer as Natsu springboarded off of the 2nd rope and hit a Triangle Dropkick onto Kaworu. Once Kaworu fell down to the ground, Natsu ran the ropes and springboarded to the outside with a corkscrew body splash before slapping his right leg as it started to hurt again.
"That is true, Jim, but Natsu has to be careful of his right leg," Okabe responded before Natsu picked Kaworu up by the hair and started slamming his head onto the announcers' table multiple times before throwing Kaworu into the steel steps, sending her sitting in front of the sides of the steel steps. Natsu walked to the timekeeper and took a steel chair from next to him before running at Kaworu, putting the steel chair in front of his feet, and hitting a dropkick onto Kaworu that sent Natsu's chair into Kaworu's face, causing the crowd to cheer and chant for Natsu before Natsu threw Kaworu away from the steps.
"I don't think Natsu is listening to your advice, Okabe," Beth chuckled as Natsu started hitting Kaworu in the back with the steel chair with the crowd chanting 'Fuck him up!' at Natsu, who happily obliged. Natsu, realizing the chair was now bent, dropped the chair onto Kaworu's gut before picking him up, punching him in the face, and hitting him with a Falcon Arrow that sent Kaworu crashing onto the apron. The crowd cheered even more before Natsu pushed Kaworu into the ring and went back into the ring and hit him with a running body splash before going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2..
Natsu pounded the canvas in frustration before leaving the ring and going underneath the ring to find more weapons.
"Looks like Natsu doesn't think Kaworu brought enough weapons in the ring!" Okabe exclaimed as Natsu brought out another trash can with the lid included, throwing it into the ring before rolling back into the ring. However, when he did, Kaworu low blowed Natsu before hitting him with a Uranage, sending him crashing back-first onto the trash can that Natsu had just brought into the ring before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Kaworu hit Natsu with a surprising Uranage onto the steel trash can after that low blow, and Natsu was still able to stay into the match!" Cornette exclaimed as Kaworu glared at the referee before he picked Natsu up in a Full Nelson and attempted to hit him with another Final Request (Sit-Out Full Nelson Slam). However, Natsu was able to hit Kaworu with multiple elbows to the side of the head, which Kaworu responded to by clubbing Natsu in the back and the back of the head before pushing Natsu down to the ground face first.
"A blatant show of disrespect by Kaworu!" Beth exclaimed as Kaworu grabbed the table he slid into the ring earlier and put the table up near one of the corners of the ring. Kaworu attempted to pick Natsu up, but Natsu started punching Kaworu in the stomach, but Kaworu hit multiple knees to Natsu's face before grabbing a trash can lid. The crowd booed as Kaworu put the trash can lid down on the ground, and picked up Natsu, kicked him in the gut, and placed him in position for a DDT.
"I think Kaworu wants to injure Natsu at this point!" Beth exclaimed in worry as Natsu once again started punching and headbutting Kaworu in the gut, causing the crowd to cheer as Natsu was able to get enough strength in his legs to hit Kaworu with a Northern Lights Suplex, attempting a pin.
Ref: 1…2..
Natsu was unable to keep the pin-up due to the damage done to his leg.
"Natsu may have gotten the pinfall there if it wasn't for the damage Kaworu did to his leg throughout the match!" Okabe exclaimed as Natsu grabbed a steel chair from the ring and when Kaworu got back up, Natsu threw the chair in Kaworu's hands and hit him with a kick that sent the chair crashing into his face, sending him staggering into the corner. The crowd cheered as Natsu ran into the corner with a Running Shoulder Thrust that sent Kaworu falling to the bottom turnbuckle.
"That is true Okabe, but when Natsu is all fired up, it's as if he doesn't feel any pain!" Beth exclaimed as Natsu walked up to a downed Kaworu and pushed the chair into his face, the crowd exploding as Natsu made his way to another corner and went up to the top rope.
"You might be right there, Beth, as we can see Natsu going for the Van Terminator!" Cornette exclaimed as, sure enough, Natsu dived off of the top rope with a Van Terminator, hitting Kaworu in the face. The crowd chanted 'Holy Shit!' at Natsu as he pulled Kaworu out of the corner. However, Kaworu tried to tie his legs into the ropes to prevent Natsu from moving him, but Natsu started stomping on Kaworu's head and didn't stop stomping until Kaworu let go of the ropes.
"Jesus! Natsu is going nuts on Kaworu!" Beth exclaimed as Natsu picked Kaworu up and attempted to put him on the table Kaworu set up earlier. However, Kaworu hit Natsu in the face with an elbow before throwing him into the corner and elbowing him in the face before attempting to pick him up and put him on the top rope, causing the crowd to boo.
"We have some resilient wrestlers here, and Kaworu is making a good case as to why he should be the most resilient!" Okabe exclaimed. When Kaworu attempted to go on the middle rope, Natsu hit him with multiple headbutts and pushed him off of the top rope before he got off of the top rope and kicked Kaworu in the head, sending him on top of the wooden table, causing the crowd to cheer loudly as he once again made his way to the top rope.
"Natsu going for another top rope maneuver, probably the Five Star Dragon Splash!" Cornette exclaimed as Natsu balanced himself on the top rope, did the 'Dragneel' taunt, and hit Kaworu with the Five Star Dragon Splash (Five Star Frog Splash), sending Kaworu through the table before going for the pin.

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is the winner of the 2nd fall, Natsu Dragneel!" Tim Barr announced, causing the crowd to explode into cheers as the referee lifted Natsu's hand while he was on his knees and breathing heavily.
"Natsu able to tie up the scoreboard!" Beth exclaimed as the bell rang again as the steel cage came down around the ring. Just as the cage finally came down, Natsu got back to his feet and grabbed Kaworu by the hair and threw him into the cage, causing the crowd to cheer and chant 'One More Time!' Natsu obliged and then some before throwing Kaworu into the other sides of the steel cage before running the ropes and hitting Kaworu with a running crossbody before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Natsu already using the cage to his advantage, throwing Kaworu face-first into the cage!" Cornette exclaimed as Kaworu started bleeding from the forehead before Natsu grabbed Kaworu and attempted to throw him into the cage again, but Kaworu was able to shield himself and start climbing up the cage, causing the crowd to boo. However, Natsu jumped up on the top rope and started exchanging punches on the top rope which Kaworu was able to win by ramming the side of Natsu's head into the cage before hitting a clothesline onto Natsu that sent the both of them falling off of the top rope before going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Kaworu comes back once again with that stiff as hell looking clothesline!" Beth exclaimed as Kaworu picked Natsu up and kicked him in the gut before hitting him with a Russian Leg Sweep before picking him up again, hitting him with a reverse STO. Kaworu then put Natsu in a crossface, causing the crowd to boo as Natsu immediately started moving towards the ropes. Natsu was able to get to the ropes and grab the middle rope with his right hand. Since there were no rope breaks in the steel cage, Natsu used the ropes to help pull himself back up to his feet, causing the crowd to cheer.
"That is some impressive strength by Natsu!" Okabe exclaimed as Natsu started staggering due to the damage done to his leg, and Kaworu responded with multiple elbows to the head before escaping Natsu's grasp and threw Natsu headfirst into the steel cage. The crowd booed as Kaworu hit a stiff clothesline that turned Natsu inside out when he rebounded off of the cage. The crowd booed louder as Kaworu grabbed Natsu's leg and started kicking the back of his knee again.
"The damage Kaworu has done to Natsu's right leg has once again prevented Natsu from regaining the momentum in this match!" Cornette exclaimed as Kaworu attempted to lock Natsu in the Figure 4 Leglock, but Natsu was able to roll Kaworu up in a small package.
Ref: 1…2..

Natsu was able to kick out and attempted to kick Kaworu in the head, but Kaworu was able to grab his leg and sweep the other one, causing Natsu to fall on his back, and allowing Kaworu to pin Natsu via a Jackknife pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"These men must be so spent from this matchup that they're just trying to end it as quickly as they can!" Beth exclaimed as Natsu kicked out and started punching Kaworu in the face before Irish whipping him into the ropes. Kaworu ducks underneath Natsu's attempted clothesline, but Natsu ducks Kaworu's attempted clothesline, and attempted to hit a rebounding Kaworu with a running cross-body, but Kaworu was able to carry him and hit him with a snap powerslam before mounting Natsu and started punching him in the face before headbutting him in the face multiple times and got off of him, screaming at the booing fans.
"It's not every day that you see this type of rage and viciousness by Kaworu!" Cornette exclaimed as Kaworu picked Natsu up by the hair, put him in a full nelson, and dragged him to the corner before slamming his unprotected head into the top turnbuckle before hitting Natsu with a Full Nelson Suplex, bridging into a pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Kaworu and Natsu have been battling each other physically and mentally for months, so it is no surprise that Kaworu is a bit more aggressive than we have come to expect," Okabe countered as Kaworu grabbed Natsu and put him in a chinlock, causing the crowd to boo and chant for Natsu, as Kaworu started pushing his knee into Natsu's back. Natsu attempted to get back to his feet, but Kaworu hit Natsu with a Pepsi Twist clothesline before putting him back in the chinlock. Natsu responded with multiple headbutts to Kaworu's face before using both of his arms to throw Kaworu off of him before hitting him with a Superkick to the face, sending him onto the apron of the ring next to the cage walls. The crowd cheered as Natsu slapped his leg before running the ropes and hitting Kaworu with a Gore into the steel cage before hitting him with a back body drop that sent Kaworu back onto the ring canvas.
"Natsu almost broke the damn door with that Gore!" Cornette exclaimed as Natsu ran the ropes and hit a springboard moonsault before running the ropes again and hit a springboard leg drop onto Kaworu from the 2nd rope. Natsu then started climbing the top rope and attempted to go for the Five Star Dragon Splash (Five Star Frog Splash) once again. However, once he balanced himself onto the top rope, Kaworu was able to get back up and throw the trash can lid from the previous street fight at Natsu's head, sending Natsu falling crotch first into the top turnbuckle, causing the crowd to boo as he started climbing the cage walls.
"Kaworu saved himself from another Five Star Dragon Splash, and also gave himself a means of escape!" Okabe exclaimed as Kaworu started climbing up the walls of the steel cage from the 2nd turnbuckle. The crowd booed as Kaworu started climbing up the walls, but Natsu had recovered by this point and was able to stand on top of the top turnbuckle. Natsu started clubbing Kaworu in the back, and Kaworu countered with multiple jabs to the face with his right hand. Both men were staggering but continued to climb up the cage walls.
"Looks like both men are trying to escape!" Beth exclaimed as Natsu and Kaworu managed to make it to the top of the cage. The two of them were able to start sitting on the top of the cage and started punching each other in the face, causing the crowd to cheer and boo accordingly. Neither man was willing to give in this match, so they both decided to continue their journey to the outside of the cage, climbing the outside of the walls in front of the announcers' table.
"And now we have these two athletes fighting right in front of us on the walls of the cage!" Cornette exclaimed as the two climbed down the walls. Natsu and Kaworu started exchanging punches and elbows with each other, causing the crowd to cheer and boo accordingly. However, Kaworu was able to gain the advantage by kicking Natsu multiple times in the side of the knee before grabbing Natsu by the hair and smashing his face multiple times into the cage wall before Natsu blocked one of those pushes into the wall, and slammed Kaworu's face multiple times into the cage wall.
"Which man is going to fall onto the floor first!?" Beth exclaimed as Kaworu was able to block a push into the cage and slam Natsu's face as hard as he could into the cage wall, sending Natsu falling off of the cage and onto the announcers' table, causing the crowd to boo and gasp in shock.
"Natsu just landed on our announcers' table! Since he did not fall onto the floor, Natsu has not won the steel cage match yet!" Okabe exclaimed as Kaworu looked down and jumped off of the cage wall and landed on the floor, causing the crowd to boo.
*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, Kaworu Nagisa was able to escape the cage, winning the third fall. Therefore, the winner of the Three Stages of Hell match and still the BTWF Champion, Kaworu Nagisa!" Tim Barr exclaimed as the crowd continued to boo as the timekeeper grabbed the BTWF Championship and handed it to Kaworu, who was on his knees trying to get his breath back.
"Kaworu was able to prove all the doubters wrong tonight, being able to defeat former BTWF Champion Natsu not once, but twice!" Okabe exclaimed as Kaworu got back to his feet, celebrating with his championship belt as the referee checked on Natsu who was still laying on the table.
"I'm surprised our table didn't break, but Natsu could be seriously hurt from that fall!" Beth exclaimed as Kaworu made his way to the entranceway as the crowd continued to boo him and chant for Natsu. The referee helped Natsu off of the table and with the help of a ringside trainer walked Natsu away from the table to check on him.
"The fans may not like it, but Kaworu doesn't seem to care as he is still the BTWF Champion!" Cornette exclaimed. Kaworu turned around to go back to the locker room, but the crowd exploded as Shoto Todoroki ran out of the back and hit Kaworu with a Hot and Cold (Mushroom Stomp).
"Todoroki with the Mushroom Stomp onto Kaworu!" Cornette exclaimed as Todoroki picked up the BTWF Championship and, much to the delight of the crowd, raised the title above his head.
"Todoroki won a brutal ladder match for the #1 contendership for the BTWF Championship at Bash at the Beach, and with that Hot and Cold, we have our main event for the Road of Glory PPV!" Beth exclaimed as Natsu walked up to Todoroki and patted him on the back and gave him a thumbs-up, mouthing 'good luck' before letting the referee and trainer help him to the back.
"Kaworu got a taste of what Todoroki is capable of, especially since he seems to be 100% recovered!" Okabe exclaimed before Todoroki dropped the BTWF Championship belt onto Kaworu's stomach before leaving the ring, making a 'tic tok' motion with his hands and wrist as the show faded to black.
