BTWF Octane (September Week 3)
The camera panned to the backstage area where Clover Lamoreaux was coming into the arena with Jerry Lewis accompanying her. The two were talking to each other before Jack Korpela ran up to them in the parking lot with a microphone in his hand.
"Hello! Excuse me! Clover, I have a question I wanted to ask you!" Jack yelled out, causing Clover to grumble in annoyance as Jerry grabbed the microphone from Jack.
"Mr. Korpela, what is it? Can't you see me and Clover are discussing her future here?" Jerry asked as Jack stepped a couple of steps back.
"Well, I was just wondering if we can have any hint as to who Alex Vasquez will be facing tonight," Korpela explained as Jerry and Clover looked at each other and rolled their eyes before Clover stepped up to Korpela.
"Aucune de vos affaires!" Clover yelled in French before she and Jerry stomped away from Korpela before he could ask what Clover had said. The camera then panned to the stage, where 'Patriot' by Jim Johnston started playing, causing the crowd to boo as Stan Smith, the Hollywood Hooligan, and Ed walked out of the back.
"Welcome everyone to another edition of BTWF Octane! From Alameda California, I'm Nigel McGuinness alongside by broadcast colleagues Beth Vanderwood and Rintaro Okabe!" Nigel exclaimed as Stan started waving his American Flag in the air while Hooligan and Mandy walked under the flag and made out in front of it, causing Stan to look at them annoyed.
"The following contest is a six-man tag team match scheduled for one fall. Approaching the ring, accompanied by Mandy, the team of 'the Real American' Stan Smith, the Hollywood Hooligan, and Ed!" Justin Roberts announced as Ed stomped to the ring while Hooligan and Stan started arguing with each other.
"Thanks for the energetic introduction, Nigel! Right now, we have a 6 man tag team match with all the potential challengers for the BTWF Championship at Trouble in Tokyo after New Horizons!" Okabe exclaimed as Hooligan and Stan eventually stopped arguing and went into the ring as Ed had rolled into the ring and was waiting for his partners impatiently.
"Judging by this entrance, this team doesn't look like they'll be getting along," Beth noted as Hooligan and Stan continued to argue while Mandy tried to separate Hooligan from Stan and Ed.
"An entrance is one thing, but once a match starts, they'll want to win, and that should temporarily halt any animosity," Nigel countered before 'War' by the Sick Puppies played, causing the crowd to cheer as Natsu, Soul, and Mordecai came running out of the back. Natsu, Soul, and Mordecai hi-fived each other before Soul put his hand over his eyes to get a better look at all the cheering fans.
"And their opponents, the team of Natsu Dragneel, Soul Eater Evans, and Mordecai!" Justin Roberts announced as the crowd continued to cheer while Natsu, Soul, and Mordecai ran into the ring and started brawling with Stan, Hooligan, and Ed. The crowd cheered as Natsu punched Stan in the face, Soul threw Hooligan out of the ring, and Mordecai stomped on Ed into the corner.
"And this six-man tag match has already devolved into chaos!" Okabe exclaimed as Mordecai threw Ed out of the ring, allowing the referee to ring the bell. Natsu continued punching Stan in the face before Irish Whipping him into the corner, causing the crowd to cheer as Natsu ran into the corner and hit Stan in the side of the head with a spinning leg lariat before hitting him with a Northern Lights Suplex but rather than going for a pin, picked Stan up for another Northern Lights Suplex and hit one, causing the crowd to cheer as he went for the pin.

"Stan attacked Natsu at the post-show for Cyber Sunday, and Natsu finally has a chance to get all of his aggression out!" Beth exclaimed as Natsu picked Stan up, but Stan hit Natsu with a jawbreaker before seeing Hooligan on the apron. Reluctantly, Stan tagged Hooligan into the match, causing the crowd to boo as Hooligan put Natsu in a front facelock, and started clubbing him in the back. However, the crowd cheered as Natsu hit Hooligan with another Northern Lights Suplex and then ran the ropes, hitting Hooligan with a jumping leg drop before going for the pin.

Mandy got on the apron and yelled at Natsu as he picked Hooligan up again. Natsu responded by flipping her off, causing the crowd to cheer before tagging Mordecai into the match.
"Natsu showing Mandy the respect that he and the rest of the BTWF fanbase have for her!" Nigel exclaimed. The crowd continued to cheer as Natsu wrung Hooligan's right arm, and Mordecai dived off of the top rope with a double ax handle onto Hooligan's exposed right arm. Meanwhile, outside of the ring, Ed and Soul had started fighting with fists flying while inside the ring, Mordecai stomped on Hooligan's gut and then ran the ropes to hit a seated Hooligan with a running dropkick before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
"Mordecai and Natsu are doing well working together in this match," Okabe noted, sounding surprised as Mordecai picked Hooligan up and punched him several times in the face before Irish whipping him into the ropes. However, Hooligan was able to stop himself and then run at Mordecai again, but Mordecai hit him with a reverse atomic drop, causing the crowd to cheer again. On the outside, Ed had low blowed Soul while the referee was distracted with what was going on in the ring.
"And Ed with a low blow onto an un-expecting Soul!" Beth exclaimed as Ed picked up Soul in an Alabama Slam position, and Ed hit Soul with an Alabama Slam onto the steel steps, causing the crowd to boo as Mordecai went to confront Ed. Ed smirked at Mordecai before throwing Soul into the corner of the fan barricade hard enough for the corner of the fan barricade to fall over, causing the crowd to boo louder. While Mordecai was distracted with Ed, Hooligan was able to recover from the reverse atomic drop and roll Mordecai up with a School Boy.
Ref: 1…
Mordecai was able to kick out, but Hooligan quickly tagged Stan into the match, countered a running Mordecai with a drop toe hold into the middle rope, and left the ring, allowing Stan to run the ropes and hit a running leg lariat attack onto Mordecai's back, causing the crowd to boo as Ed climbed up onto the apron.
"And thanks to Ed's vicious attack on Soul, Mordecai, and Ed are at a 2-3 disadvantage!" Nigel exclaimed as Stan picked Mordecai up and hit him with several European Uppercuts and hit him with a scoop slam. The crowd booed as Stan tagged Ed into the match, causing the crowd to boo as Stan stayed in the ring with his right foot stepping on Mordecai's head. Ed then ran the ropes and hit a jumping elbow onto Mordecai's chest, sending him into a seated position, before Stan ran the ropes and hit a running boot into Mordecai's head.
"I think Stan, Hooligan, and Ed are proving your hypothesis wrong, Beth," Okabe noted as Ed hit a jumping headbutt onto Mordecai's chest before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
Ed picked Mordecai up into a Powerslam position and hit him with a Powerslam into the Tree of Woe position before stomping on his chest before tagging Hooligan into the match. Hooligan immediately got into the ring and hit a running dropkick onto Mordecai while he was in the Tree of Woe position. Hooligan then started choking Mordecai with his foot while blowing kisses to the booing crowd while Mandy cheered him on.
"Hooligan showing off that ego as if he has a star on Hollywood Boulevard!" Beth exclaimed as Hooligan pulled Mordecai up by his head and hit him with a backstabber before rolling him up for a pin.
Ref: 1…2.
Mordecai rolled his shoulder out and Hooligan responded by putting him in a headlock, causing the crowd to boo as he hit Mordecai in the back with a couple of knees while continuing to keep the headlock locked in.
"I have to say, Okabe, this team is proving me wrong, as they are keeping their differences away for the time being while they are dominating this match," Beth admitted causing Okabe to get a smirk on his face as Mordecai was able to get back to his feet. Soul started climbing back onto the apron, causing the crowd to cheer as Mordecai hit multiple punches onto Hooligan's stomach. However, Hooligan grabbed the back of Mordecai's head and slammed the back of his head into Soul's head, causing Soul to fall off of the apron and the crowd to boo as Hooligan then hit a DDT onto Mordecai and went for another pin.
Ref: 1…2.
Hooligan pounded the mat in frustration before he tagged Stan back into the match who punched Mordecai in the gut before hitting him with a Belly to Belly suplex before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Mordecai has just been decimated for a good while now. He needs to get to Natsu and make a much-needed tag!" Nigel exclaimed as Stan picked Mordecai up and hit him with a backbreaker before picking him up and putting him in the Torture Rack. The crowd booed as Mordecai would continuously refuse to tap out despite screaming in pain. Stan marched around the ring while continuing the pressure on the Torture Rack, but after a minute, Mordecai was finally able to slip out of the hold and hit a Twist of Fate out of nowhere onto Stan, causing the crowd to cheer as Natsu started stomping on the top of the steel steps for a tag.
"Mordecai with the shock of a Twist of Fate to get a brief moment of reprieve in this match!" Beth exclaimed as the crowd cheered while Mordecai tried to drag himself to the corner. Stan grabbed Mordecai's leg, causing the crowd to boo as Stan attempted to lock Mordecai in the Ankle Lock. However, Mordecai was able to tag Natsu back into the match, causing the crowd to cheer as Natsu ran into the ring and hit Stan with a clothesline that turned him inside out.
"Natsu is in the ring and he looks fired up!" Nigel exclaimed as Natsu hit Hooligan and Ed with flying kicks, sending them off of the apron and onto the floor. Stan was able to get up and attempted to hit Natsu with a German Suplex, but Natsu was able to land on his feet, grab both of Stan's arms, and hit him with a Tiger Suplex before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
Stan was able to kick out, but when he got back to his feet, Natsu hit Stan with multiple clotheslines, a Superkick to the gut, ran the ropes to hit a running kick to the back of the neck. The crowd cheered as Natsu ran the ropes and hit a Rolling Fire (Rolling Thunder) before running at Ed getting back to his feet and hit him with a running baseball slide. Natsu then ran back to Stan and hit him with a Running Shooting Star Press before running the ropes and hitting a seated Stan with a running knee before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2..
Hooligan came in and stomped on Natsu, causing the pin to be broken, much to the crowd's chagrin.
"If Hooligan didn't break up the pin, you have to believe that Natsu would've had the match there," Okabe noted as Natsu grabbed Hooligan by the hair, turned him around, and kicked him in the face with a Superkick, sending him staggering into the corner. The crowd cheered as Natsu was able to see a running Stan coming at him and dodged him, sending him crashing into Hooligan in the corner. The crowd cheered as Natsu attempted to hit a Running Shoulder Thrust onto both Hooligan and Stan. However, Stan was able to dodge the attack, so while Natsu only hit Hooligan, Stan was able to hit Natsu with a release German Suplex before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
"Stan was able to roll out of the way there, and now his team is back in control!" Nigel exclaimed as Stan tagged Ed back into the match, and the two hit a double shoulder tackle onto Natsu before Ed picked Natsu up and hit him with a Flipping the Tables (One-Handed Spinebuster), causing the crowd to boo as Hooligan knocked Mordecai off of the apron and as Ed went for the pin.
Ref: 1…2..
The crowd cheered as Soul came running into the ring and stomped on Ed to break up the pin before dragging Natsu back to his corner, going onto the apron, and tagging himself in.
"Soul is finally in this match after that vicious assault by Ed earlier in this match!" Okabe exclaimed as Soul got to the top rope and hit a crossbody onto Stan before grabbing Hooligan by the hair and throwing him into the corner and punching him multiple times in the face until Mandy grabbed Hooligan's leg and pulled him onto the apron. Ed attempted to grab Soul's hair, but Soul hit him with a Pele Kick and then a dropkick that sent Ed falling onto the floor before kicking a now standing Stan in the gut and hit him with a Tornado DDT before going for the pin as the crowd was cheering.
Ref: 1…2.
Hooligan broke up the pin with a jumping knee to the back before pulling Stan to his corner and tagged himself into the match before running at Soul and hitting him with a jumping double stomp to Soul's back before going for the pin, much to the crowd's chagrin.
Ref: 1…2..
"It looks like Hooligan may have taken control back after Stan lost control to Natsu!" Beth exclaimed, slightly losing track of what she was saying as Hooligan winked at Mandy and the booing fans before pulling Soul up by the hair and put her in position for the Hollywood Glitz (Double Knee Jawbreaker).
"It looks like Hooligan is going to finish this match!" Nigel exclaimed as Soul was able to get out of the move, hit a Ghetto Blaster to the side of Hooligan's head from behind, causing the crowd to cheer before he grabbed Hooligan and hit him with a Tornado DDT and then immediately picked him up for the Soul Eater (Gourdbuster GTS) before he went for the pin. The crowd cheered even more as Natsu and Mordecai came running into the ring to knock Stan and Ed off of the apron.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, the team of Soul Eater Evans, Natsu Dragneel, and Mordecai!" Justin Roberts announced as Natsu went and gave Soul a one-armed hug as Mordecai went up to the top rope and posed, causing the crowd to cheer even louder.
"These 6 men will be fighting at New Horizons in multiple matches to become contenders for the World Championship, but only three of them were able to win today!" Nigel exclaimed as Soul pat Natsu on the back while Mandy was looking after Hooligan, who had a hand over his aching jaw.
"Natsu, Soul, and Mordecai have won some momentum for their upcoming matches, and you have to wonder how Stan, Hooligan, and Ed will bounce back!" Beth exclaimed as Stan got up and kicked the steel steps in frustration while Ed just sat with his back facing the fan barricade in disgust with himself while the babyfaces continued celebrating in the ring.
"In my opinion, all of these men have a chance to win the world title, or in Natsu's case, a chance to win the title back!" Okabe exclaimed as the camera panned back to the backstage interview area where Todd Grisham was standing next to the BTWF World Tag Team Champions.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the BTWF World Tag Team Champions, representing the NWO, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sheldon Lee. Now, we tried to call you guys earlier for this interview but you did not answer so I would like to know what you two were doing that prevented you from answering us," Jack explained as Sheldon laughed at him in response.
"Listen, we were on important business with someone who wants to make us into bigger stars, but that's all you need to know for now," Sheldon responded before Jack sighed and went on with his questioning.
"Anyway, last week you tried to send a message to the Gene and Eddy. Do you think your message stuck with them?" Jack asked as Naruto took the microphone out of his hand.
"If it didn't get through their thick skulls, we'll just beat it into them again," Naruto responded before Eddy and Gene Belcher came running from behind them and knocked them down with a double ax handle. Gene mounted Naruto and started punching him in the head while Eddy picked Sheldon up by the head and slammed his head into the steel wall of the interview area before backing off and grabbing their World Tag Titles.
"Did you get our message; we're going to become the new BTWF World Tag Team Champions!" Eddy exclaimed as he and Gene took the BTWF World Tag Team Title belts and left as the camera panned to a commercial break.

The camera panned to the back to the backstage area where security was trying to pull Valentino Calavera off of BTWF Hardcore Champion Pete Corvus. Valentino was punching Corvus in the face while throwing him into the wall repeatedly. Tsubaki was screaming at the security to do something while Valentino picked Corvus up in a Powerslam position and threw him into the nearby dumpster. Frida Suarez then ran up at Valentino, hugged his right arm, and kissed him on the cheek while Valentino wiped the hair out of his eyes as security tried to pull Corvus out of the dumpster.
"For the record Corvus, I can go hardcore!" Valentino exclaimed as he and Frida left the scene of the crime as the camera panned to the stage as 'One Finger and a Fist' by Drowning Pool played, causing the crowd to boo as Owen came marching out of the back with a glare on his face as Mr. Enter came running behind him and jumped up and down in excitement.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Approaching the ring, accompanied by Mr. Enter, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Owen!" Justin Roberts announced as the crowd continued to boo while the camera panned into the ring, where a familiar African-American wrestler in green tights was in the ring, glaring at Owen, seemingly without an ounce of fear on his face.
"And in the ring his opponent, Leon Lindsey!" Justin Roberts announced as the crowd lightly cheered the returning journeyman wrestler.
"This is a shocking challenge made my Leon here tonight! Leon is half of Owen's weight!" Nigel exclaimed as the camera panned to Death the Kid who was standing next to the announcers' table with his arms as cross as the look on his face.
"Well Owen did attack Leon after Leon's match with Death the Kid last week on Octane, and Leon wanted some measure of revenge," Beth explained as Owen went into the ring and made a motion saying he was going to break Leon like a twig, causing the crowd to boo as Leon shook his head at the overconfident super-heavyweight.
"And speaking of Death the Kid, we have him at ringside observing the client of the man who has been insistent on obtaining his services," Okabe explained as the bell rang, and Leon immediately ran at Owen, punching him in the head until Owen was in the corner. Leon continued to pepper Owen's face and head with punches until the referee pulled him out of the corner. Mr. Enter on the outside didn't look the least bit afraid as Leon attempted to hit a jumping forearm smash onto Owen, but Owen was able to counter with a giant shop to the chest, causing the audience, including Death the Kid, to wince as Leon fell to the ground.
"Oh…well there goes Leon," Okabe said after the crowd started booing as Owen ran the ropes and hit a downed Leon with a leg drop to the back of his neck. Owen then kicked Leon in the chest to turn him on his back before running the ropes again and hit him with an Earthquake splash before grabbing his wrist and dragging him to the corner.
"It looks like Owen is going to squash Leon!" Beth exclaimed as Enter clapped in support for Owen as he went up to the second rope and hit Leon with a Banzai Drop before he put a foot on his chest for the pin.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Owen!" Justin Roberts announced as Mr. Enter ran into the ring and started running around Owen in celebration as the referee raised Owen's arm in victory.
"It was a predictable result, but Leon put up more of a fight than we all expected," Nigel explained before Owen grabbed Leon by the hair, and Mr. Enter responded with a kick to Leon's face. Death the Kid had gotten out of his chair, and Enter immediately told Owen to drop Leon as Mr. Enter grabbed the microphone from Justin Roberts.
"Kid's contract is still being negotiated, but he may end his career in the BTWF before it begins!" Beth exclaimed as Death got into the ring to confront Owen and look after Leon, who was holding his aching stomach and chest in pain.
"Kid, what happened to Leon here is just a reminder to you; do the right thing. Enter Enterprises could use a star like you but if you decide to reject our offer, you'll end up like Leon here; a broken-down loser," Enter said before dropping the microphone and giving a thumbs up to Death the Kid before leading Owen out of the ring.
"Mr. Enter made the message loud and clear, but we have to wonder how Kid will respond," Okabe said as Kid helped Leon to his feet before the camera panned to the backstage area where Legacy (Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney) were standing in the back.
"So tonight, my boy Rogue is going to take on Absolute Zero in a match tonight, and to the surprise of nobody, he's going to win!" Sting exclaimed as Rogue tapped him on the shoulder.
"Sting, you shouldn't call Absolute Zero that, you're going to hurt his feelings," Rogue said with an exaggerated and mocking tone.
"Oh, so I shouldn't call Absolute Zero Absolute Zero?" Sting asked sarcastically as Rogue was now struggling to keep himself from laughing.
"Yeah, I mean Absolute Zero may be an idiot, a complete loser, and…not us, but we shouldn't keep disrespecting Absolute Zero like this," Rogue responded as he and Sting couldn't contain their laughter any longer and after a moment, Sting and Rogue calmed down and looked back at the camera.
"Anyway, Absolute Zero and Kirishima, you're going down and you have absolutely no chance against us," Sting explained as the camera panned back to the ring, where Meg Griffin and Lincoln Loud were in the ring, causing the crowd to lightly cheer, until 'Ladies and Gentlemen' by Saliva played, causing the crowd to boo as Akira Hayami came out of the back with a spotlight following her.
"The following contest is a mixed tag team match scheduled for one fall. In the ring, the team of Meg Griffin and Lincoln Loud! And approaching the ring, from Yokohama Japan, she is the Spotlight of the BTWF Women's Division, Akira Hayami!" Justin Roberts announced as the crowd booed while Akira stopped at the top of the stage and glared at the booing fans before 'We Are One' started playing, and Mercury Black came out of the back, causing Akira's spotlight to disappear, annoying Akira as Mercury strutted to the ring.
"And her partner, from Remnant, Mercury Black!" Justin Roberts announced as Mercury attempted a hi-five, but Akira just rolled her eyes before making her way to the ring while Mercury just shrugged and went to the tech area to grab a microphone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am here along with my tag team partner for New Horizons, Akira Hayami. Now you may be wondering why these two losers are in our ring, and let me tell you. Me and Akira are going to show what we have in store for Shinji and Rei at the PPV, and since these two losers have nothing better to do, we're going to use them as an example," Mercury explained as he and Akira walked down to the ring. Mercury then dropped the microphone as he and Akira rolled into the ring.
"Well it looks like Meg and Lincoln have a big opportunity here tonight," Okabe explained as the bell rang. The second it did, Akira grabbed Meg in a half nelson and hit her with multiple knees to the guts before throwing her into the corner. The crowd booed as Akira hit multiple shoulder tackles before grabbing Meg and hitting her with an Overhead Belly to Belly suplex, sending her on the other side of the ring, causing the crowd to boo.
"Yeah, an opportunity to humiliate these two!" Beth exclaimed as Akira ran into the corner with a clothesline, but Meg was able to roll out of the way, causing the crowd to cheer and Akira to bounce off the corner. The crowd continued to cheer as Meg hit multiple punches to Akira's face and then dropkicked her in the knee before running the ropes and hitting her with a Shining Wizard before going for the pin.

Akira threw Meg off of her, but Meg was able to duck an attempted clothesline from Akira and hit her with a chop block before putting her in a front facelock. The crowd booed however as Akira took Meg off of her feet and threw her off of her, and when Meg attempted to run at her, Akira hit her with a big boot before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
"Meg hasn't been able to get out of the gates in this match, aside from small glimmers of hope here and there," Nigel explained as Akira started choking Meg with her foot until the referee pulled her off and admonished her. However, while the referee was distracted, Mercury kicked Meg in the head, causing the crowd to boo louder before Akira grabbed Meg from behind and hit her with a Release German Suplex before going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2.
"Mercury certainly showing his cowardly side with that attack onto Meg!" Beth exclaimed in disgust as Akira grabbed Meg and hit her with another Release German Suplex before noticing Lincoln looking worried about his partner. Akira flipped him off before grabbing Meg and hit her with a Vertical Suplex throw before grabbing her by the leg and locked her in a one-legged Boston Crab. The crowd clapped and cheered for Meg as she tried to drag herself to the ropes while screaming in pain.
"Meg trying to escape this painful submission hold, but her only escape may be the ropes!" Nigel exclaimed as Meg continued to crawl despite Akira starting to club her right knee. The crowd cheered as Meg was able to grab the bottom rope with her right hand, causing the crowd to cheer as the referee forced Akira to back off of Meg. Mercury attempted to kick Meg in the face, but she dodged and hit him with a right hand, causing the crowd to cheer louder and laugh at Mercury before Akira grabbed her, attempting to hit another German Suplex, but Meg was able to flip onto her feet, turn Akira around, and hit her with a DDT, causing the crowd to cheer as she attempted to make it to her corner to tag Lincoln into the match.
"Meg finally has an opportunity to make the tag in this match!" Okabe exclaimed as the crowd cheered when despite Akira grabbing onto Meg's leg, Lincoln came into the ring with Mercury coming in due to the rules of the match. Mercury attempted to run at Lincoln, but Lincoln dodged the attempted clothesline and hit multiple punches to Mercury's gut and face, sending him into the corner.
"Lincoln is coming into the match at full force with these left and right hands!" Nigel exclaimed as Lincoln Irish whipped Mercury into the ropes and hit him with a jumping side kick. The crowd cheered as Lincoln picked Mercury up, hit him with two clotheslines, a kick to the gut, a running knee lift to Mercury's face, and a running bulldog before going into the corner, waiting for him to get to his feet.
"Lincoln could finish this off right here with some White Magic (Black Magic Kick)!" Beth exclaimed as Lincoln ran at Mercury with a kick, but Mercury was able to duck, hit the Phenomenal Blitz onto Lincoln, and hit him with a Ushigaroshi before going for another pin, much to the crowd's chagrin.
Ref: 1…2
Lincoln kicked out and Mercury responded by stomping on him multiple times before picking up and hitting him with a snap vertical suplex and a knee drop before picking him up and put him in position for the Styles Clash.
"Mercury's going to end the match here!" Okabe exclaimed as Lincoln was able to fight out of this with multiple kicks to the face, causing the crowd to cheer before he kicked Mercury in the gut and hit him with the Loud and Proud (Single Knee Facebreaker) before going for the pin, causing the crowd to cheer.

Meg then springboarded, attempting to hit a vaulting body press, but Akira was able to catch her, causing the crowd to boo before she hit Meg with a Spotlighter (F-5) onto the floor.
"Oh God! Akira probably took Meg out of this match!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, the team of Mercury Black and the 'Spotlight of the Women's Division', Akira Hayami!" Justin Roberts announced as the crowd booed while Mercury ran up to the top turnbuckle and posed with both of his arms outstretched while Akira nodded with a serious look on her face.
"Akira and Mercury clearly showing that they can work together…somewhat," Nigel explained as Mercury rolled out of the ring and attempted to hi-five Akira, but Akira slapped his hand away and walked away from the ring and to the entranceway, with Mercury following after her with a wide smile still evident on his face.
"They may not be friends, but they have the common goal of wanting to win gold from their opponents!" Beth exclaimed as Lincoln rolled out of the ring and check on Meg along with the ringside trainer. However, the crowd cheered as BTWF United States Champion Shinji Ikari and BTWF World Women's Champion Rei Ayanami came out with microphones in their hands. Akira and Mercury looked at their opponents for the PPV with glares on their faces as Shinji and Rei returned their glares.
"And it looks like the champions have something to say to their challengers after that display," Okabe explained as the crowd continued to cheer as Shinji picked the microphone up to his face and began speaking.
"Mercury, Akira, that was a very interesting performance. You two did show that you COULD win at the PPV. The keyword in that statement is 'could'," Shinji explained as Mercury looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "It's not…undisputed. But you know what is undisputed? The fact that me and Rei are going to win," Shinji said, causing the crowd to cheer as Mercury rolled his eyes as Rei began speaking.
"My leg is getting better every day and Akira, if you thought what you did at the Jumping Bomb Angels Tag Tournament scared me, well…it did," Rei admitted, causing the crowd to boo in shock and Shinji to look at her with a raised eyebrow. "That's right, I am afraid. Afraid of what I'm going to do to you at New Horizons. I plan on paying you back for this injured leg tenfold," Rei said while Akira glared at her and attempted to step at her, but security kept them separate.
"What we're trying to say to you is that we're not scared of you two and we're waiting with bated breath to give you the beating that the both of you deserve," Shinji said before throwing the microphone at their opponents as Rei did the same thing. Mercury and Akira were stewing while the security guards kept them from going after the departing forms of Shinji and Rei.
"Well, there's what the champions had to say about this little display by the challengers," Nigel stated as Shinji and Rei stopped at the entrance, and lifted both their championships in the air, causing the crowd to cheer even louder.
"The seemingly unending confidence of the challengers seems to be colliding with the hubris of the reigning champions," Okabe continued as Mercury and Akira yelled at the champions, telling them that their titles would become theirs soon.
"Mercury also has the entire NWO breathing down his neck to add more gold to the group, so there's that as well. But we'll see how this all goes down at New Horizons in their mixed tag team match!" Beth exclaimed as the camera panned to a commercial hyping an upcoming SuperShow featuring the BTWF, VGCW, UCW, FFW, and FEWS.

The camera panned back to the backstage interview area, where Mirai Kuriyama was standing next to Zia Simpson with a microphone in her hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm standing here with the Woman that Gravity Forgot, Zia Simpson, to talk about her recent problems with the Sisterhood of Darkness," Mirai explained as she put the microphone underneath Zia's mouth.
"Thanks for the opportunity, Mirai. I don't know what Sherry is talking about with this light and dark crap, but frankly, I don't give a crap. The point is she's been coming after me and the women's locker room, so I feel like I have to stop it," Zia explained as Mirai nodded in response before taking the microphone back.
"But aren't you worried about retaliation from the Sisterhood of Darkness?" Mirai asked. Zia put on her thinking face with her thumb and index fingers under her chin. While she was doing that, Ochako Uraraka, Zoey Hanson, Millianna, Kagura Mikazuchi, Star Butterfly, and Agent Xero all filed behind her.
"No," was all Zia said before the camera panned to the stage as 'Legacy' by Adelitas Way played, causing the crowd to boo as Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney came out of the back, hi-fiving each other as they laughed the booing fans.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Approaching the ring, accompanied by Sting Eucliffe, from Magnolia, Fiore, representing the Legacy, Rogue Cheney!" Justin Roberts exclaimed as Rogue and Sting grabbed the back of each other's necks with their arms, continuing to laugh at the booing fans as they made their way to the ring.
"Sting and Rogue are heading into this match with a lot of confidence as Rogue is facing who they call 'Absolute Zero', Denki Kaminari," Nigel explained as Sting and Rogue rolled into the ring as Rogue climbed up to the turnbuckle while Sting ran up next to him, and they both raised their fists to the crowd. This caused the crowd to boo even more as Rogue jumped off of the turnbuckle and hi-fived Sting before he went into the corner.
"You know, I think it's kind of a catchy nickname," Okabe admitted as 'Virus' by Memphis May Fire played, causing the crowd to cheer as Denki Kaminari and KIRISHIMA came out. KIRISHIMA was smiling and hi-fiving fans while Kaminari was looking at the ring, specifically Rogue with a glare on his face.
"And his opponent, accompanied by KIRISHIMA, from Musutafu Japan, Denki Kaminari!"

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, representing the Legacy, Rogue Cheney!" Justin Roberts announced as Sting rolled into the ring and hugged Rogue as the crowd continued to boo.
"Rogue has won here tonight by taking Kaminari on a trip through Nightmare Street!" Nigel exclaimed as Rogue and Sting put each other's arms behind their necks and laughed at a downed Kaminari. The two laughed at Kaminari and called him 'Absolute Zero' before Rogue invited Sting to attack Kaminari.
"What do these two have planned now!?" Beth asked worriedly before Sting started stomping on Kaminari, causing the crowd to boo louder before KIRISHIMA ran into the ring and started punching Sting in the face before throwing him out of the ring. The crowd cheered as KIRISHIMA yelled at Rogue to come after him, but Rogue just chuckled at him while shaking his head before leaving the ring to check on Sting, who was now seeing red.
"KIRISHIMA saved his partner! But Sting looks like he's ready to kill!" Okabe exclaimed as KIRISHIMA helped Kaminari up to his feet. Kaminari however, pushed KIRISHIMA away, before running his hands through his hair and stomped out of the ring.
"And it looks like Kaminari's stress is really getting to him," Nigel noted as the camera panned to the backstage interview area, where Todd Grisham was standing next to a brown-haired boy and a blonde-haired girl in front of him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome BTWF's newest signees, Bam and Rachel Light. Now Bam, I want to know how you feel being in an up and coming wrestling company like the BTWF," Todd asked. Before Bam could respond to the question, Rachel backed him off with her hand and moved the microphone closer to her mouth.
"Of course myself and Bam are excited about this new opportunity. Being in the independent circuit for years, being in a company on television is an honor for both of us," Rachel responded as Todd nodded and took the microphone back.
"OK…now Bam, your first match is coming up after Tommy Salami's Deli Counter. How are you feeling heading into that match?" Todd asked. Again, before Bam could respond, Rachel took the microphone and put it underneath her mouth.
"Of course Bam is ready for this match. He may be in the Hardcore division for now, but once he wows the audience with his ability, he'll be fighting for the BTWF Championship in no time," Rachel explained before she led Bam away from the interview area. "And speaking of that match, we should be getting ready. Thank you for the interview, Todd," Rachel said before both she and Bam left the interview area with Todd looking at Rachel with a raised eyebrow before the camera panned to a commercial break.
*Commercial Break*
*Commercial Over*
The camera panned to the center of the ring, with GTS wrestler Tommy Salami in the middle of the ring with a television set, a couple of couches, and a red carpet in the ring. The crowd was cheering and chanting for Tommy Salami before he began talking.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's good to be back on Octane!" Tommy exclaimed, causing the crowd to cheer. However, before he could begin with his introductions, Damien Sandow's 2014 'Hallelujah' theme song played causing the crowd to boo as Kaworu Nagisa came out with his BTWF Championship around his waist. Nagisa was out of his usual robe and instead wore a dark blue dress suit with a golden tie.
"Uh…Kaworu, I haven't introduced you yet. Usually, the guest, that's you, doesn't come out until the host, that's me, introduces you to the audience," Tommy explained, as the crowd booed Kaworu coming into the ring and grabbing a microphone.
"Mr. Salami, I think you will find that to be a tremendous waste of time. Octane does have a limited time slot, so we should not waste time with things as trivial as that," Kaworu explained as the crowd booed while Salami shrugged.
"OK, that's fine, but I have to ask you how you're feeling after the #1 contender for your BTWF Championship, Shoto Todoroki, pinned you in a 6 man tag team match last week?" Tommy asked, causing Kaworu to grow an annoyed look on his face.
"It is possible for a blind monkey to find a banana once in a while, Mr. Salami. Mr. Todoroki may have gotten a pinfall victory over me, but rest assured, that will not be the case at New Horizons," Kaworu calmly responded, though his voice occasionally broke in anger motivated by his embarrassment from his loss last week.
"Interesting, you do seem a little angry about it though," Tommy probed, cheekily smiling causing Kaworu to glare at Tommy.
"Of course I am upset Mr. Salami. I think it's awful that Mr. Todoroki gave his family some false hope that he'll be winning the BTWF Championship," Kaworu responded, causing the crowd to boo as Tommy looked at him with a shocked expression.
"I mean, Mr. Todoroki's mother is a mental mess, and his siblings are failures working backstage in this company because they could not handle the tough training and rough road schedule. And now he wants to make them feel better by winning my championship," Kaworu explained, as Tommy took the microphone back.
"Woah there, Kaworu! Your match with Shoto Todoroki has nothing to do with his family, and I think you should knock it off!" Tommy exclaimed as the crowd continued to boo. Kaworu smirked and rolled his eyes as he continued to talk.
"Why? Is it really wrong to tell the truth Mr. Salami? Mr. Todoroki says that he doesn't want to be connected to his family, but he clearly wants to make everyone feel sympathetic to his plight," Kaworu explained, but the crowd cheered as Todoroki came running to the ring, and when Tommy saw this, he made his way out of the ring.
"I'm not getting paid enough to deal with a brawl between you two!" Tommy exclaimed before he left the ring, leaving Kaworu alone with Todoroki. Todoroki hit a running big boot onto Kaworu and mounted him, doing multiple punches to his face, causing the crowd to cheer as Kaworu pushed Todoroki off, but Todoroki grabbed his leg and pulled him back to the center of the ring before stomping on him in the gut multiple times. However, when Todoroki attempted to pick him up, Kaworu hit Todoroki with a low blow, causing the crowd to boo.
"Kaworu getting Todoroki off of him with a low blow!" Nigel exclaimed, as Kaworu grabbed Todoroki in a Full Nelson and started to knee him in the chest and gut multiple times until Todoroki started falling to his knees. The crowd continued to boo as Kaworu put Todoroki in position for the Final Request (Sit-Out Full Nelson Slam), and yelled in Todoroki's ear that he won't win at New Horizons before hitting him with the Final Request (Sit-Out Full Nelson Slam) before grabbing his BTWF Championship and rolling out of the ring.
"Kaworu just took Todoroki down with the Final Request!" Okabe exclaimed as Kaworu left up the ramp while Tommy rolled back into the ring and helped Todoroki back to his feet. The crowd cheered as Todoroki grabbed a microphone from the ring and threw it at Kaworu's feet, causing Kaworu to back away, but the smirk still evident on his face.
"This feud has gotten more and more contempt in it. It's one thing to fight for a championship, but to bring up someone's family is just disgusting," Beth explained as Kaworu patted his title belt while Tommy was holding a dazed Todoroki back as the crowd continued to boo while the camera panned to the backstage area, with Alex in her locker room, taping up her hands. Alex stopped taping her hands and looked up when she saw Haruko Haruhara over her.
"Hey Alex, you ready for tonight? You got the main event spot," Haruko asked as Alex sighed and nodded.
"Yeah…I've been preparing for a week. I may not know who Clover and Jerry got for me to face, but I'm not gonna back down," Alex responded as she finished taping up her hands.
"If it makes you feel better, I'll be out there for you. I know Clover and Jerry will be out there to try and screw with you, so I want to help you get a fair fight," Haruko explained as Alex knelt her head down to think about it.
"You make a good point. OK, you can come out with me tonight, but please be careful," Alex said before she and Haruko fist-bumped before they left the locker room. The camera then panned to the stage, where 'Head Hunter' by Dance Gavin Dance played, causing the crowd to cheer lightly as Nico came up from the back and started hi-fiving fans on his way to the ring.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Approaching the ring, from Nanba Prison, Nico!" Justin Roberts announced as Nico rolled into the ring underneath the bottom rope and ran to the top rope before he stuck his tongue out and showing the fans the demon horns.
"Nico is out, and ready for action against BTWF's newest signee, Bam!" Nigel exclaimed as Nico jumped off of the top rope and went to the middle of the ring and knelt to wait for Bam.
"Bam's friend and business advisor, Rachel Light, was able to get a very good contract for Bam that featured a good yearly salary, so she is already doing some good for Bam!" Okabe exclaimed as 'Sideways' by Not a Toy played, causing the crowd to cheer as Bam walked out of the back and took in the fans cheering him. Rachel then tapped his shoulder and told him to go back to walking to the ring.
"And his opponent, from the Tower, accompanied to the ring by Rachel Light, Bam!" Justin Roberts announced as the crowd cheered as Bam jumped up onto the apron and nodded at Nico before walking into the ring and extending his hand to Nico, causing the crowd to cheer louder. Rachel then told Bam to back away from Nico, which he did and then started talking to him about what to do in this match.
"Rachel seems to be taking a hands-on approach when it comes to managing Bam," Beth noticed as the bell rang. Nico and Bam went to the center of the ring, causing the crowd to cheer as the two of them locked up in the middle of the ring. Nico was able to push Bam into the corner, and the referee pushed Nico away from Bam. When Nico was at a respectable distance away, Bam jumped out of the corner, and put Nico in a headlock, causing the crowd to cheer as Nico attempted to fight out of the hold.
"Bam gets the first strike in this match, locking in a headlock on Nico!" Nigel exclaimed as Nico punched Bam in the gut multiple times before throwing him off and into the ropes. However, when Bam rebounded, he hit Nico with a hurricanrana and locked Nico in a headscissors, causing Rachel to cheer on the outside along with the crowd. Nico was able to push Bam's legs off of him and picked him up, giving him multiple knife-edge chops. However, Bam kicked Nico in the gut and ran the ropes hit Nico with a running knee lift, sending him down to the ground and went for the pin.

The crowd cheered as Bam pushed Nico out of the ring before running the ropes and hit a sliding dive from underneath the bottom rope onto Nico's chest, causing the crowd and Rachel to cheer even louder.
"Some innovative offense by Bam with that unique dive!" Nigel exclaimed as Bam picked Nico up, but Nico pushed Bam off of him and kicked him right in the chest, causing the crowd and Rachel to wince.

Ref: 1…2.
"This is a good strategy by Nico, as Bam has shown in this match to be an athletic, high flying individual, and less oxygen coming through labored breathing means less chance of high flying maneuvers on Bam's part," Okabe explained as Nico mounted Bam and punched him in the face before the referee pushed him off. Rachel yelled at Bam to come over to her for planning, but Nico grabbed Bam's leg to prevent him from leaving and hit him with an elbow drop right into the midsection.
"Nico is showing a vicious side here that we haven't seen from him before," Beth noted as Nico started stomping on Bam's chest before hitting another jumping elbow drop onto Bam's midsection before going for another pin.

Now that all the chaos back here has calmed down, I would like to introduce the #1 contender for the BTWF Championship Shoto Todoroki," Mirai introduced as an angry Todoroki stomped into the interview area.
"Todoroki, Kaworu not only insulted you and your family live on television but also attacked you with a low blow. I just want to get a sense of how you're feeling right now," Mirai explained as Todoroki took several deep breaths before he started talking.
"Mirai, there are few times in my life where I have been as pissed off as I am right now. And when I'm pissed off, I can't guarantee the safety of my opponent. Kaworu, you've crossed a line you're not ready to cross and come New Horizons, I'm walking out with the BTWF Championship around my waist and…well I can't guarantee you'll be walking after New Horizons!" Todoroki exclaimed as he stomped away from Mirai and the interview area as the camera panned to the stage, where 'Dear Future Self' by Fall Out Boy played as Alex Vasquez walked tentatively out of the back with Haruko by her side.

"Alex determined, but careful, over what Clover and Jerry have planned for her match right now," Nigel noted as Alex walked into the ring with Haruko giving her a confident first bump as Alex went into the corner and leaned in the corner, glaring at the entranceway.
"And with how Clover has been since turning on the Totally Spies, I wouldn't blame her for being careful," Beth responded as Jerry Lewis and Clover Lamoreaux came out of the back with a microphone in his hand.
"Hello Alex, it's good to see you. Clover and I have, for the past week, looked for an opponent that would show you that Clover and I were right about you all along. You were always the weak link of the Totally Spies, and are nothing compared to the French Phenom, Clover Lamoreaux," Jerry explained, causing the crowd to boo as Clover nodded in agreement with everything that Jerry said.
"Now enough hot-dogging and grandstanding, let's introduce your opponent. She is one of the best students of the World of Sports style of wrestling, and has displayed a viciousness that I have never seen out of any students of mine," Jerry introduced before pointing his finger to the stage, where William Regal's 'Regality' theme song started to play as Charlotte Belew came out of the back with a British Flag in her hands, causing the crowd to boo before she shook Jerry and Clover's hands.
"And her opponent, from Liverpool, England, Charlotte Belew!" Justin Roberts announced as Charlotte started walking to the ring, with Alex continuing to glare at her as Charlotte waved her British Flag, much to the chagrin of the crowd.
"Charlotte Belew is someone I've seen in the UK independent circuit, and she is definitely is a benefit to this Women's division!" Nigel exclaimed in excitement as Charlotte rolled into the ring and raised her British Flag in Alex's face while Alex was yelling at her.
