Tim Barr announced as Alex ran into the ring, by rolling through the middle ropes. The crowd cheered as Alex jumped up to the top rope and pointed at the cheering crowd.
"Alex has been looking forward to this match for months now! After dealing with the Sisterhood, now Alex finally gets the chance to get her hands on Clover!" Beth exclaimed as Alex jumped down to the middle of the ring and knelt down, waiting for Clover to come out as the crowd continued to cheer.
"Clover broke up the Totally Spies, and Alex wants to make Clover regret breaking up the group and injuring Sam!" Cornette exclaimed as 'Entertain You' by Within Temptation played, causing the crowd to boo as Clover came out of the back with a microphone in her hand. Clover turned around and checked her hair and makeup before she started talking.
"Tim Barr, I don't need you to introduce me tonight, I will be doing so," Clover said before she cleared her throat and started talking. "Mesdames et messieurs, je m'appelle Clover Lamoreaux, et je suis ici pour enfin fermer ce petit personne*," Clover said in French as the crowd booed as Alex looked at her with confusion on her face.
*Translation: "Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Clover Lamoreaux, and I am here to finally shut this little nobody up".
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that you dumb rednecks in Texas can only speak one language! But it doesn't matter, since I'm just going to show you what I said anyway," Clover explained with a smirk on her face as the crowd booed while she rolled into the ring underneath the bottom rope. However, when Clover got into the ring, Alex grabbed the microphone and pushed her with one hand.
"Clover, you've always been so egotistical and wanted to be the special one. So, before I beat you physically, I'm going to beat you mentally, as you are not even close to the only person on this roster who can speak another language," Alex explained before she cleared her throat to an annoyed yet curious Clover. "¡Te voy a dar una paliza!*" Alex exclaimed in Spanish before punching Clover in the face, causing the crowd to cheer as she fell to the ground.
*Translation: "I'm going to kick the shit out of you!"

"And it looks like Clover has something else she wants to say," Beth noted as Clover got the microphone and smirked at the booing crowd before she started talking.
"Now I know all of you losers aren't smart enough to speak French, but I'm so happy about beating another one of my loser ex-friends, that I'm just gonna do it anyway," Clover said as she cleared her throat and started speaking again.

"Well thanks to Haruko, Alex has been saved from the same fate that befell Sam," Okabe noted as Alex and Haruko went to the backstage area, as the camera panned to the Stanford Station, where Scott Stanford was sitting in front of the row of television screens.
"Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome back to the Stanford Station where we go over what happened before the PPV started," Stanford explained as the camera panned to one of the television screens showing Haruko vs. Charlotte.
"The first dark match was Haruko Haruhara, who we just saw save Alex Vasquez from a potentially career-ending assault, going up against Clover and Jerry's new charge, Charlotte Belew. In this 9 and a half minute encounter, Charlotte was able to send Haruko down to the mat with a Drop Toe Hold, and put her in the Regal Stretch, making her tap out," Scott said as the TV played the finish of the match before moving on to showing the Sisterhood of Darkness vs. Mermaid Heel.
"The second match is a tag match where Ultear Milkovich and Tomoko Kuroki, representing the Sisterhood of Darkness, took on Mermaid Heel, which consists of Kagura Mikazuchi and Millianna. In this almost 12 minute encounter, Tomoko looked ready to finish this match off with a Knee Trembler, but Millianna was able to counter into the Siren's Call (Running Knee/German Suplex combination), with Kagura coming into the ring to distract Ultear, allowing Millianna to pick up the victory for her team," Stanford explained as another television monitor showed the finish of the match and Ultear arguing with the referee.
"And in the final match before the PPV, BTWF newcomer Bam, accompanied to the ring by Rachel Light, was able to defeat Riley Freeman of the NWO in a tidy 6 minutes thanks to the Destino," Scott finalized as a third TV monitor showed Bam hitting the Destino onto Riley before the camera panned back to Scott Stanford.
"And that'll do it for this edition of the Stanford Station, and now we head back to the ring for the BTWF Championship match!" Scott exclaimed as the camera panned back to the ring, where 'Don't Stop' by Nothing More featuring Jacoby Shaddix played, causing the crowd to cheer loudly as Todoroki came out of the back, sitting down criss-cross on the top of the stage as the lights went down.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the BTWF Championship. Approaching the ring, from Musutafu Japan, Shoto Todoroki!" Tim Barr announced as Todoroki shot his eyes open, causing the lights of the arena to light back up and turn red and blue before getting back up onto his feet and started walking to the ring as the crowd continued to cheer.
"Shoto Todoroki, despite the bandaging around his torso, is still coming out here determined to become the BTWF Champion!" Cornette exclaimed as Todoroki hi-fived a couple of fans before running to the ring, jumping over the top rope and landing in the middle of the ring, sitting criss-cross, looking at all the cheering fans in attendance.
"Todoroki did say backstage that it didn't matter how injured he was, he would walk out here and fight tooth and nail to take the BTWF Championship away from Kaworu!" Beth exclaimed as Todoroki kipped back up to his feet, causing the crowd to cheer louder before he went to the corner and started stretching in the corner. While he was stretching, Damien Sandow's 2014 'Hallelujah' theme song played, causing the crowd to boo as Kaworu came out in his blue and gold robe and the BTWF Championship in his hand.
"And his opponent, from Tokyo Japan, he is the BTWF Champion, Kaworu Nagisa!" Tim Barr exclaimed as Kaworu walked to the ring with a confident smirk adorning his face as he raised the championship over his head while the crowd continued to boo him.
"Kaworu has denied any involvement in the attack Todoroki was a victim of, and I wanted to ask you guys if you believe him," Okabe asked as Kaworu walked up to the steel steps, and yelled at the referee to hold the ropes open for him. The crowd booed as the referee did, allowing Kaworu to go into the ring and give the championship to the referee before going into the corner to wait for the match to start.
"Well I'm not one to make accusations about people, but it wouldn't surprise me if Kaworu did hire someone to take out the #1 contender," Beth responded as the bell rang. The crowd cheered as Kaworu and Todoroki circled each other, before finally locking up, causing the crowd to cheer as while Todoroki was pushing Kaworu into the ropes, Kaworu kneed him in the gut. The crowd booed as Kaworu grabbed Todoroki and locked him in the abdominal stretch, causing Todoroki to grit his teeth in pain as his eyes closed with tears forming.
"Given what we have seen where Kaworu got Todoroki banned from the building last week on Octane, I can see where Beth is coming from," Cornette agreed as Todoroki started punching Kaworu in the face before putting him in the headlock, causing the crowd to cheer. Kaworu attempted to Irish whip Todoroki off of him, but Todoroki kept the headlock in, sending Kaworu on his knees as the crowd chanted at Kaworu to tap out. However, Kaworu got back to his feet and was able to reverse the headlock into an armlock.
"Well we'll have to agree to disagree as Kaworu has taken control back of this match," Okabe explained as Kaworu attempted to push Todoroki to his knees, but Todoroki was able to counter by hitting him with a Drop Toe Hold. The crowd cheered as Todoroki put Kaworu back in a headlock, causing the crowd to cheer as Kaworu attempted to drag himself to the ropes.

"Todoroki able to keep that headlock locked in on Kaworu, maybe he will tap out here," Beth noted as Kaworu was able to get to the ropes, causing the crowd to boo as the referee attempted to pull Todoroki away from Kaworu.
"Kaworu is a world champion, Beth. He survived a Three Stages of Hell match with Natsu Dragneel, it's gonna take more than a simple headlock to get him to give up, especially when the championship is on the line," Okabe countered as Kaworu grabbed Todoroki from behind by the midsection, and attempted to push him to the floor, but Todoroki grabbed his arm and sent him down to the mat. However, Kaworu was once again able to get to the ropes before Todoroki could put him in an armbar. Todoroki once again backed off, but he picked Kaworu up and hit him with a knee to the gut before sending him down with an armbar.
"Todoroki has the armbar in this time!" Cornette exclaimed as Kaworu was able to get to the ropes once again, and frustrated with the constant ropebreaks, Todoroki grabbed both of Kaworu's arms and started stomping on his chest and face, causing the crowd to cheer as he put Kaworu in a seated position and ran the ropes to hit him with a Running Dropkick to the back of the head before going for the pin.

The crowd cheered as Todoroki waited for Kaworu to get back to his feet, and when he did, Todoroki dived off of the top rope and attempted to hit him with a Ricky Steamboat-esque diving chop. However, the crowd booed as Kaworu was able to counter the move into a Uranage.
"Don't count your chickens before they hatch, Beth! That Uranage damn near sent Todoroki through the ring canvas!" Okabe exclaimed as Kaworu pinned Todoroki once again, much to the crowd's chagrin.

"The Dragon Slayer is locked in! This could do it!" Beth exclaimed as Kaworu was able to drag himself to the ropes after a minute of being in the hold, executing a ropebreak. The crowd booed as Todoroki was forced to let go of the hold, but the crowd cheered when Todoroki hit him multiple times in the back with kicks before picking him up.

"Todoroki still in this match, and is making it clear that he isn't going to let go of this opportunity easily!" Okabe exclaimed as Todoroki climbed up to the top rope, and this time, was able to hit the Ricky Steamboat-esque diving chop to Kaworu's head before going for another pin.

"What does Kaworu have planned here!?" Okabe asked as Todoroki blocked one of Kaworu's punches, and much to the crowd's delight, started hitting Kaworu with multiple punches to the side of the head before he finally headbutted Kaworu right in the face, sending him falling back-first onto the ring canvas, causing the crowd to cheer as Todoroki steadied himself on the top rope.
"Well, it doesn't matter what Kaworu had planned! Now it matters what Todoroki is planning!" Cornette responded as Todoroki dived off of the top rope, and hit a Diving Double Foot Stomp to the chest of Kaworu before he went for another pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"That diving foot stomp practically caved in Kaworu's chest, and he still kicked out!"

Kaworu and Todoroki then started exchanging punches to the face before Todoroki hit a kick to the hamstring, causing the crowd to cheer.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, and still the BTWF Champion, Kaworu Nagisa!" Tim Barr announced as Kaworu rolled out of the ring and grabbed his BTWF Championship from the timekeeper as he looked at the mysterious masked man with a confused look on his face. However, looking down at his BTWF Championship and then looking at a downed Todoroki, and offered a handshake.
"Kaworu able to retain this championship thanks to the masked man, which makes me even more suspicious of his relationship with this masked man!" Beth exclaimed as the masked man shook Kaworu's hand as he left the ringside area. The crowd booed as Kaworu held his championship up high above his head on his way to the back as the masked man rolled into the ring. When Kaworu saw this, he turned around and started watching from the stage, hanging the BTWF Championship over his shoulder.
"It doesn't look like that the masked man is done with Todoroki yet!" Okabe exclaimed as the man looked down at an unconscious Todoroki before taking off his ski mask, causing the crowd to boo loudly as the man was revealed to be Todoroki's father, Endeavor.
"Oh my God! Its current Fanfiction MLW wrestler Endeavor! What the hell is he doing here!?" Cornette asked in shock as Endeavor picked Todoroki up in a Powerbomb position, and hit him with three Powerbombs onto the canvas as the crowd chanted 'You Suck!' at Endeavor as he kept Todoroki in the Powerbomb position.
"And he's still not done with Todoroki!? What's he possibly gonna do now!?" Beth asked in worry and disgust as Endeavor picked him up and hit him with a Hell's Curtain (Spirit Bomb), causing the crowd to boo as Kaworu clapped from the entrance ramp. Endeavor rolled out of the ring as the referee checked on Todoroki while the crowd booed and chanted that Endeavor sucked.
"Well Endeavor has definitely made that statement, and that statement was that he has unfinished business with his family," Okabe explained as the camera panned to the backstage interview area where Mirai Kuriyama was standing with Shinji and Rei.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with BTWF United States Champion Shinji Ikari and BTWF World Women's Champion Rei Ayanami. After the upcoming edition of the Deli Counter, you will be in a mixed tag team match where both your championships will be on the line. I have to ask…are you both ready?" Mirai asked as Shinji and Rei looked at each other before looking at Mirai.
"We are more than ready. Mercury has wanted my attention for the past two months, and he's got it. We're going to give him and Akira the fight of their lives, and that is Undisputed," Shinji explained as he and Rei turned to leave, but Mirai has one more question to ask.
"Oh, and Rei, I wanted to know how you're leg is given the attack Akira perpetrated on Octane," Mirai asked.
"My leg will not be a problem in this match," Rei said cryptically as she left with Shinji, slightly limping as the camera panned to the ring, where Tommy Salami was in the ring with the Deli Counter set up in the ring as the crowd cheered.
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the Deli Counter! So, before I left Octane, Bonifer and Joe Wolf told me to get the stage ready, because Mr. Enter had something to say to not only me but the BTWF fans. So…without further ado, Enter and Friends, come on out!" Salami called as Mr. Enter came out of the back with Owen, Charlie Bonifer, Joe Wolf, and a man in a suit and an afro following him.
"We have to wonder what Mr. Enter has to say that he got an interview scheduled in the middle of a PPV, and if Death the Kid will answer Enter's invitation to join Enter Enterprises" Cornette wondered out loud as the man in the suit held the ropes open for Enter as he, the suited man, Bonifer, and Joe, walked into the ring. Enter shook Tommy's hand as the crowd booed when he grabbed a spare microphone.
"First of all, before I talk, I would like the audience to shut the hell up," Enter said, causing the crowd to boo louder as the suited man attempted to plug Enter's ears with his hands. "Well, I guess I should introduce one of the newest members of Enter Enterprises, who is a former GTS star like my other clients Charlie Bonifer and Joe Wolf, Manabo!" Enter introduced as the crowd continued to boo as Manabo glared at the crowd and started yelling at them.
"Wait…what do you mean one of the newest members? Are there more?" Tommy asked as Enter sighed before putting the microphone back under his mouth.
"Well before you so rudely interrupted, I was going to show you," Enter responded before he pointed towards the entranceway, where the BTWF World Tag Team Champions, Naruto Uzumaki and Sheldon Lee, Riley Freeman, Double D, and Finn came walking out of the back, causing the crowd to boo as they threw their NWO merchandise away as they walked into the ring and shook Enter's and his clients' hands.
"You see, Bakugo has been…neglecting the members of the NWO who are on Octane, so I decided to sign them to official contracts to join Enter Enterprises. That way, their business dealings will be handled through me, allowing them to focus more on their wrestling. Also, they won't have to deal with an absolute mental case like Bakugo over on Intensity," Enter explained as 'God's Gonna Cut You Down' by Marilyn Manson played, causing the crowd to cheer as Death the Kid walked out of the back without his skateboard.
"Kid is here, and we have to wonder if this revelation of the newest members of Enter Enterprises will sway his decision," Beth noted as Kid rolled into the ring and squared up to Mr. Enter, causing the crowd to cheer and chant 'Fuck him up, Kid!'
"Listen, Kid, I know I've been…a bit aggressive with trying to get you to join Enter Enterprises, but this is all coming from a place of kindness. I want to see you succeed, I want you to become the next big star in the BTWF. But it will take more than ability and charisma to make it to the big time, you need a strong mind behind you to make sure you get the star-making matches, the time to open your heart to the people, the opportunities you need to be the next star of this up and coming company," Enter explained as the crowd chanted 'Bullshit' at him while Death looked at him with a blank face.
"And I know what you're thinking; what if you decide to reject my generous offer. Well…," Enter trailed off as every member of Enter Enterprises dog-piled on Tommy Salami, and attacked him with punches and stomps, causing the crowd to boo as Manabo picked Tommy up and hit him with the Sit-Out Two-Handed Chokebomb before Joe, Riley, Finn, and Double D pushed him out of the ring. "Now…let's hear that answer," Enter said as Kid glared at Enter before asking for a microphone. When he got it, however, rather than talk, Kid hit Enter over the head with the microphone, causing the crowd to cheer.
"That is an emphatic 'no!' if I've ever seen one!" Beth exclaimed as the crowd cheered while Kid was going after the rest of Enter Enterprises, taking down Riley, Finn, Double D, and Joe with kicks to the legs and face. However, Owen hit Kid in the face with a Savate Kick before Bonifer mounted him and started punching him in the face, causing the crowd to boo.
"That one decision may have ended Kid's career before it started!" Okabe exclaimed as the crowd cheered as Homer Simpson came running from the back, rolling into the ring and hitting Bonifer with a headbutt, and started exchanging punches with Owen. However, the crowd booed as Manabo grabbed one of the stools in the ring and hit Homer in the back with it, allowing Bonifer to get back up, and run the ropes to knock Homer down with a lariat as Owen grabbed the microphone that Kid hit him with.
"You're going to regret doing that Kid!" Enter yelled into the microphone as he told Owen to hit Kid with the Earthquake Splash. However, the crowd cheered as Bam came running down to the ring with a steel chair with Rachel looking annoyed as she ran after him. Bam hit Bonifer with the steel chair to the chest when he got into the ring and then hit Owen in the head with the steel chair a couple of times before throwing the steel chair in Manabo's face.
"And now Bam is here! Rachel doesn't look happy about it, but Bam is taking out Enter Enterprises!" Cornette exclaimed as Homer finally got back to his feet and hit Bonifer, Joe, and Riley with multiple KO punches. The crowd continued to cheer as Kid got back up, threw Double D and Finn out of the ring, then grabbed Enter by the hair, and then started punching him in the face before Manabo pulled Kid by the hair and threw him away before taking Enter out of the ring.
"Thanks to Homer and Bam, Kid was able to escape a much worse fate at the hands of Enter Enterprises!" Beth exclaimed as Manabo, Enter, Finn, and Double D started pulling the rest of Enter Enterprises out of the ring as Bam, Owen, and Kid celebrated in the middle of the ring much to the crowd's delight.
"Kid may be standing tall tonight, but I don't think Enter Enterprises are going to take this insubordination lying down!" Okabe exclaimed as Rachel rolled into the ring and started arguing with Bam as Homer and Kid hi-fived each other while Enter Enterprises left to the back with Enter holding the top of his head and glared at the celebrating Kid. The camera then panned to the backstage area, where a breathless Kaworu was talking with Todd Grisham.
"Hello ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with Kaworu Nagisa, who under controversial circumstances has been able to retain the BTWF Championship against Shoto Todoroki," Todd introduced as Kaworu looked at him with an offended glare.
"What do you mean 'controversial'? I had no clue that Mr. Endeavor was going to interfere on my behalf, Mr. Grisham. Maybe he just has excellent taste in champions and knew I would be a better champion than his son," Kaworu explained as Natsu walked into the interview.
"Hey Todd," Natsu greeted as he put an arm around the back of Todd's neck. "So you got through Todoroki. Congrats, Champ, because when Trouble in Tokyo comes around, that title is going back around my waist, where it belongs," Natsu explained as Kaworu started to chuckle.
"Oh please, Mr. Dragneel, I have already beaten you multiple times, what makes you think I will not do it again?" Kaworu asked as Hollywood Hooligan came into the conversation with Mandy trailing behind him.
"You both are wrong, I'm gonna be the one to become the BTWF Champion and take it all the way to Hollywood," Hooligan explained as Mandy agreed with him.
"So you get a couple of cheap victories and you think it's going to help you win the BTWF Championship?" Natsu asked with a smirk as Hooligan squared up to him.
"And you think getting a lucky win over a racist is gonna make a difference?" Hooligan countered as Natsu and Hooligan got face to face, as Kaworu attempted to walk away, but Mordecai stood in front of him.
"Now that I have Ed in my rear-view mirror, I can focus 100% on taking that BTWF Championship off of your hands," Mordecai said with a smirk on his face, as Kaworu rolled his eyes and left the interview area as the camera panned to another part of the backstage area.
