BTWF Octane (January Week 3)

The camera panned to the backstage area, where Arthur Morgan and Tanya Von Degurechaff, the Octane General Managers, were standing next to a wheel with various match types listed on it. Natsu Dragneel and Sting Eucliffe were standing next to the GMs with Dutch and Rogue accompanying Sting.

"Alright gentlemen, tonight's our Roulette night, where this wheel here will determine what type of match you two will have in the opening match tonight," Arthur explained before spinning the wheel. Natsu, Sting, Rogue, and Dutch looked at the wheel in anticipation, and it stopped on 'Barbed Wire match'. Natsu smirked as Sting, Rogue and Dutch looked worried while Arthur nodded and told a referee to get the ring ready.

"Well ladies and gentlemen, it looks like we're opening up with a Barbed Wire match, where the only way to win is by pinfall or submission while the ropes of the ring are replaced with barbed wire," Tanya explained. The camera then panned away with Legacy and Dutch's worried faces still visible as Yuko Yoshida stood next to LWF Reborn's Chris Panzer, who had a wide smile on his face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with LWF: Reborn superstar Chris Panzer, who at LWF's biggest show of the year, Wrestlepalooza will take on the BTWF's Stan Smith. Now, I'm wondering why you have that big smile on your face," Yuko explained as Panzer looked down at Yuko before responding.

"Well, I'm just happy thinking of all the things I'm going to do to Stan once we get into the ring at Wrestlepalooza. This is going to be one of the biggest matches of my career and that entire crowd of Wrestlepalooza is going to see what happens when someone disrespects my culture," Panzer explained as Yuko nodded before taking the microphone back.

"I know it may be too early to ask, but do you have any plans for after your match with Stan?" Yuko asked as Panzer stroked his chin in thought before responding.

"Well, we do have two new titles coming onto the show; the LWF Cruiserweight and Adrenaline Championships, and we're getting some really good superstars in those divisions like Nathan Frazer who I want to fight and-," Panzer responded before Ed came stomping over to the interview area, glaring at Panzer.

"I really would love to know what the hell is going on here!? I'm the BTWF original here, and yet you're the one getting interview time for some stupid match that nobody in the BTWF or the LWF cares about!" Ed exclaimed, poking Panzer in his chest with his pointer finger. Panzer chuckled to himself while shaking his head before pushing Ed's hand away from him.

"Well maybe if you could actually win something, maybe you would be on the show," Panzer explained. Ed chuckled while nodding to himself before slapping Panzer in the face. Panzer put a hand over the cheek that Ed had slapped and responded by punching Ed in the face hard enough to knock him on his ass.

"You know, if you want to have more time on BTWF TV, how about you have a match with me next week, and I'll show you the power of the Panzer Army!" Panzer exclaimed before Ed glared at Panzer walking away while holding the side of his face. Ed sprung back to his feet, kicked a production crate in anger, and walked away to the other side of the hallway. The camera then pans to the stage, where the ropes of the ring are replaced with barbed wire as 'It's a New Day' by Adelitas Way played, causing the crowd to boo as Sting, Rogue, and Dutch walked out of the ring, continuing to wear the worried faces from earlier.

"The following contest is a Barbed Wire match, where the only way to win is by pinfall or submission! Approaching the ring, accompanied to the ring by Rogue Cheney and Dutch Van Der Linde, representing Legacy, he is Sting Eucliffe!" Mary Hughes announced. The crowd booed as Sting started complaining to the camera that wrestling with barbed wire isn't fair for him while Dutch tried to calm him down. Rogue told the fans to shut up as the crowd started laughing at Sting's fear in his eyes.

"Sting and Rogue complaining about how unfair this is, and I have to agree with him. Now before I rant about this; welcome to another episode of BTWF Octane ladies and gentlemen. From Buffalo New York, I'm Jim Cornette alongside my broadcast partners Beth Vanderwood and Rintaro Okabe!" Cornette exclaimed as the camera panned to Beth and Okabe waving to the camera before panning back to Sting, Rogue, and Dutch making their way to the ring.

"Well Jim, before you begin your rant, let's remind the fans that Sting and Rogue are going to be a part of a Fatal-4-Way match at the Battle Riot PPV for the BTWF Championship, held by Sting's opponent coming up, Natsu Dragneel," Beth explained as Sting got to the front of the steel steps. The crowd continued booing as Sting nodded at Rogue and Dutch, with both telling Sting that they were here to help before Sting ran up the steel steps, trying to psych himself up for this match.

"You can see Sting coming into the ring, looking absolutely terrified of this upcoming match," Okabe pointed out as Sting jumped up to the top rope, and then jumped into the ring to avoid the barbed wire ropes. Sting then jumped back to his feet, telling the crowd they were looking at the next BTWF Champion as they continued to boo. Sting chose to stay away from the barbed wire ropes by staying in the middle of the ring, waiting for Natsu to come out. He did not have to wait long as 'Indestructible' by Disturbed played, causing the crowd to explode into cheers as Natsu came out with the BTWF Championship over his shoulders.

"And his opponent, from Magnolia Fiore, he is the BTWF Champion, 'Indestructible' Natsu Dragneel!" Mary Hughes announced as Natsu did the 'Dra-gon-eel' taunt as pyro shot out of the sides of the TitanTron. Natsu then pointed behind him, the crowd continuing to cheer as Soul Eater Evans came walking out of the back, causing Rogue and Dutch to react angrily, arguing with the referee that Soul shouldn't be at ringside.

"Natsu, doing the smart thing, and bringing out some reinforcements in the form of Soul Eater Evans!" Beth exclaimed as Soul and Natsu hi-fived each other before walking down the entranceway. The crowd continued cheering as both Natsu and Soul hi-fived the fans in the front row while Dutch and Rogue continued arguing with the referee. Meanwhile, Sting looked around at the barbed wire ropes while running his hands through his light blonde hair in worry and annoyance.

"Is it really that smart of an idea? Soul may want to have Natsu damaged in this match so that he has a better chance of winning the BTWF Championship," Okabe countered as Soul and Natsu, once they reached the ringside area, fist-bumped each other before Natsu climbed up the steel ring post, causing the crowd to cheer as Soul began arguing with Rogue and Dutch. Natsu took a deep breath before backing away, and running up the steel steps and jumping over the barbed wire ropes in front of Sting.

"That's crazy talk, Okabe. Soul and Natsu trust each other, and while they will be on the opposite sides of the Fatal-4-Way match at the Battle Riot, Soul is someone who knows how to do the right thing, and—man Jim, you've been quiet since the entrances," Beth noted as Sting and Natsu argued in the middle of the ring as the referee checked to see if both men were ready. When both Sting and Natsu said that they were ready, the referee told the timekeeper to ring the bell and start the match. Once the bell rang, Sting and Natsu exchanged punches in the middle of the ring.

"Well there's a reason for that Beth; I'm trying to comprehend putting these two high-level athletes in a match featuring a large amount of barbed wire," Cornette responded as Sting poked Natsu in the eye, and attempted to throw him into the barbed wire, but Natsu was able to block the barbed wire with his boot. The crowd cheered as Natsu turned around and knocked Sting down with a Spinning Leg Lariat. Sting crawled over to the corner, holding his face in pain before attempting to run at Natsu, but Natsu responded by knocking Sting back down with a Flying Clothesline.

"Natsu dominating Sting at the beginning of this match here, possibly due to Sting being worried about the barbed wire surrounding the ring," Okabe explained as Natsu picked Sting up again, and Sting was able to counter with a Jawbreaker. The crowd booed as Sting quickly pushed Natsu into the ring, and started stomping on Natsu's chest before slapping him in the face a couple of times, telling Natsu that he was just going to beat him again. Sting backed away before running into the corner, attempting to hit him with a Corner Clothesline, but Natsu was able to counter with a kick to the face. Natsu jumped up onto the middle rope, and landed on Sting, attempting to roll him up with a Victory Roll.

Ref: 1…

Sting was able to break out of the pin, and when Natsu got back to his feet, kicked him in the gut before running and attempting to hit him with a Dropkick. However, the crowd cheered as Natsu was able to counter with a kick to the gut while Sting was in mid-air.

"Of course Sting would be worried about the barbed wire! Replacing the ropes with barbed wire just adds a pointless layer of danger, and could injure two of these athletes before their huge BTWF Championship match!" Cornette exclaimed as Natsu turned Sting on his back, and hit him with a Standing Moonsault. The crowd continued cheering as Natsu put Sting in a seated position, and ran to hit Sting with a Basement Dropkick to the side of the head. Natsu then hit a Twisting Leg Drop across Sting's throat before going for another pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.

Ref: 1…2

"Natsu getting another close pinfall there, but Sting, despite his mind being in a million different places because of the barbed wire, he knows that he beat Natsu last week," Beth explained as Natsu picked Sting back to his feet, and started punching him multiple times in the face, and when Sting attempted to hit him with a Headbutt, but Natsu countered with a knee to the face. The crowd cheered as Natsu ran into the ropes, springboarded off of the barbed wire rope with only his boots, and hit Sting with a Springboard Moonsault to a standing Sting.

"Wow! Natsu, using only his feet, able to springboard off of the barbed wire and onto Sting!" Okabe exclaimed as Natsu picked Sting up once again, and attempted to throw him into the barbed wire, but Sting stopped himself just before he hit the wire. Natsu, noticing this, attempted to hit Sting with another Spinning Leg Lariat, but Sting was able to duck out of the way and attempted to hit a Jumping Crossbody onto Natsu, but Natsu was able to catch him in mid-air and attempted to throw him into the barbed wire. However, Sting was able to barely pull himself over the barbed wire, sending him falling over the top rope and onto the floor.

"Sting avoided the barbed wire there, but at what cost!? This is exactly what I'm talking about when I say the barbed wire just adds unnecessary risk to an already risky sport!" Cornette continued to exclaim as Natsu noticed Sting had landed outside of the ring, and in response waited for Sting to get back to his feet. When Sting staggered back to his feet with a hand on his back in pain, Natsu ran and vaulted himself over the top of the barbed wire rope, and hit Sting with a Vaulting Crossbody, sending both men crashing to the floor.

"We like to call Natsu indestructible, but he's also pretty fearless as well, just throwing himself out of the ring and onto Sting!" Beth exclaimed as Natsu picked Sting up, and started slamming his face into the top of the announcers' table. The crowd continued cheering as Natsu kept Sting's face down on top of the announcers' table, repositioning him so that his face was draped over the edge of the announcers' table. Natsu then punched Sting in the chest multiple times before jumping up to the apron.

Ref: 1…2…3

"What does Natsu have planned here, with Sting laying over the table!?" Beth asked as Natsu did his 'Dra-gon-eel' taunt before attempting to hit Sting with a Twisting Diving Leg Drop from the apron. However, Sting was able to move out of the way, sending Natsu's side and leg crashing onto the top of the announcers' table. The crowd booed as Sting grabbed Natsu by the hair, and punched them multiple times in the face, before grabbing him by the hair. Sting then threw Natsu into the steel ring apron, sending Natsu's chest crashing into the steel.

Ref: …4…5

"Sting finally getting things back on his side, throwing Natsu into the steel, just missing the barbed wire ropes!" Okabe exclaimed as Sting pulled onto Natsu's hair, and threw him underneath the bottom barbed wire rope. Sting then ran to the other side of the ring, ran up the steel steps, and hit a Running Stomp to the back of Natsu's head. Sting then picked Natsu up in a Fireman's Carry and attempted to drop Natsu's neck onto the barbed wire, but Natsu started elbowing Sting in the side of the head in an attempt to counter.

"Natsu trying to fight off going into the barbed wire, which is the smartest thing he can do!" Cornette exclaimed as Sting dropped Natsu on his knee chest first, hitting him with a Gutbuster. The crowd continued booing as Sting stomped on Natsu's back before running the ropes and hitting him with a Jumping Knee Drop to the center of the back. Sting then mounted Natsu's back and hit Natsu in the back of the head with multiple forearms before getting off of Natsu and hitting him with a stomp to the back of the head.

"Sting showing off a ground and pound style, which is something he needs to keep up if he wants to prevent Natsu from flying around the ring!" Okabe exclaimed as Sting threw Natsu into the corner, and started hitting him with multiple punches to the face. The crowd continued booing as Sting ran and hit a Running Corner Clothesline into the neck before taking him out of the corner with a Snap Vertical Suplex. The crowd continued booing as Sting hit a Jumping Pinpoint Elbow onto the top of Natsu's head before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2.

"Neither man has been a victim of the barbed wire yet, but that's only making Sting more confident," Okabe noted as Sting picked Natsu back up and hit him with multiple knife-Edge Chops to the chest before attempting to throw Natsu into the barbed wire. Natsu was able to stop himself, but Sting took advantage of Natsu being focused on the barbed wire and hit Natsu with a Back Suplex. The crowd continued booing as Sting picked Natsu back up and hit him with a German Suplex while Dutch and Rogue cheered on from the outside.

"A couple of hard back suplexes by Sting, once again taking advantage of Natsu trying to dodge the barbed wire!" Cornette exclaimed as Sting picked Natsu up, grabbed his legs, and attempted to hit him with an Alabama Slam into the barbed wire. However, Natsu started punching Sting in the sides, causing Sting to turn slightly and slam Natsu on the canvas instead of the barbed wire. The crowd continued booing as Sting stood over Natsu and slapped him in the face a couple of times before grabbing him by the hair, attempting to push Natsu's face into the barbed wire.

"Sting, for someone so scared of the barbed wire, doesn't seem hesitant to send Natsu into the barbed wire," Beth noted as Natsu elbowed Sting in the side of the head. Sting raked Natsu in the eye as a counter and hit Natsu with a Reverse DDT, causing the crowd to boo as Sting looked over at the BTWF Championship and told Natsu that it was going to be his. The crowd continued booing as Sting picked Natsu up and hit him with the Silver Spoon DDT before going for the pin, hooking both of his legs back.

Ref: 1…2.

"Well as long as Sting's not the one who gets thrown into the barbed wire, I'm sure he doesn't care. But what he does care about is the fact that Natsu's still in the match," Cornette responded as Sting pounded on the mat and told Natsu to stay down. Sting grabbed Natsu's head and started hitting him with multiple crossface strikes across the forehead, the crowd continuing to boo as Sting ran and hit a Running Seated Clothesline to the throat of Natsu. Sting then started climbing up the turnbuckles, causing the crowd to boo as Sting balanced himself on the top turnbuckle. The crowd continued booing as Sting dived off of the top rope, attempting to hit him with a Moonsault, but Natsu was able to raise his feet up, causing the crowd to cheer as Sting's chin landed right on Natsu's feet.

"Natsu able to counter the attempted moonsault by Sting, sending Sting's chin crashing right into his feet!" Okabe exclaimed as while Sting was staggering into the ring, Natsu got back to his feet, hit a couple of kicks to the chest, and then put him in a Powerbomb position. The crowd cheered as Natsu picked Sting up, and the crowd exploded even louder as Natsu was able to throw Sting into the barbed wire with the Powerbomb.

"Oh good lord! The barbed wire finally comes into play thanks to that Powerbomb by Natsu!" Cornette exclaimed as the crowd continued cheering as Natsu stomped on Sting's chest while Sting was screaming in pain. The referee pulled a couple of strands of the barbed wire away, allowing Sting to get out of it, which Natsu responded to by grabbing Sting's hair and slamming his face into the barbed wire ropes. The crowd cheered louder as Natsu was able to throw Sting back into the ring with a Hurricanrana, with the crowd continuing to cheer as the camera revealed Sting was bleeding from the forehead.

"Sting's face is quickly turning into a crimson mask thanks to those barbed wire ropes!" Beth exclaimed while keeping one of her eyes covered with her hand as Natsu picked Sting up and hit a couple of Running Clotheslines, a Jumping Twisting Forearm, a Spinning Wheel Kick, and then Natsu hit a Running Rolling Fire (Rolling Thunder). The crowd continued cheering as Natsu dragged Sting towards the corner, flipped Rogue and Dutch the bird, and then hit Sting with a Split-Legged Moonsault onto Sting before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

"Sting barely rolling his shoulder out, and even Natsu has to be shocked at that, especially given how much Sting is bleeding," Okabe explained as Natsu grabbed Sting, and attempted to put him in position for the Brilliant Flame (Package Fallaway Powerbomb), but Sting countered with a knee to the groin. The crowd booed as Sting threw Natsu neck first into the barbed wire ropes, and then ran to hit a Hotshot onto Natsu over the top rope, sending Natsu's throat crashing into the barbed wire ropes again. Sting hi-fived Rogue and Dutch before going underneath the ring to grab a steel chair.

"Sting getting a chair from the bottom of the ring as if the barbed wire isn't enough of a weapon," Cornette explained as Sting walked up the steel steps, and started hitting Natsu in the back with the steel chair. After multiple steel chair shots to the back, Sting waited for Natsu to get back to his feet, but when Sting attempted to hit Natsu in the face with a steel chair, Natsu ducked but missed the Van Daminator as Sting ducked out of the way. However, Natsu was able to jump into the air, and hit Sting with a Leg Drop Bulldog, sending Sting's face crashing into the steel chair.

"Amazing counter by Natsu! Natsu just sent Sting's face crashing right into that steel chair!" Beth exclaimed as Natsu started climbing up to the top rope, attempting to prepare themselves for the Five Star Dragon Splash (Five Star Frog Splash). However, Rogue jumped up onto the ring apron, wearing gloves to prevent his hands from getting cut by the barbed wire. Natsu turned and started arguing with Rogue, but Sting was able to stagger back to his feet, throwing the chair into Natsu's face.

"Once again, the Legacy's numbers game coming into play, allowing Sting to take back control!" Okabe exclaimed as Sting climbed up to the middle rope, hitting Natsu with multiple punches to the side of the head. However, the crowd cheered as Soul grabbed Rogue by the leg, and sent him falling off of the apron and onto the ground. Soul then knocked Dutch down with a punch to the face before brawling with Rogue on the ground. This all gave Natsu enough of a distraction to hit Sting in the face with a headbutt and drop him right on the barbed wire, sending Sting draped into the barbed wire.

"And Sting's trapped in the barbed wire! He can barely move at all!" Beth exclaimed as Natsu noticed Sting still in the barbed wire ropes, looked on at the cheering crowd, shrugged his shoulders, and hit a Five Star Dragon Splash (Five Star Frog Splash) onto Sting while he was still trapped in the barbed wire. Natsu, while gritting his teeth in pain, dragged Sting closer to the center of the ring before pinning him.

*Bell Rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, he is the BTWF Champion, 'Indestructible' Natsu Dragneel!" Mary Hughes announced. The crowd cheered as Natsu did the 'Dra-gon-eel!' taunt in the middle of the ring while waiting for his BTWF Championship. However, on the outside, Rogue jammed his finger into Soul's eye and threw Soul face-first into the barbed wire. The crowd began booing as Rogue threw Soul head first into the steel ring post.

"Natsu has won the match here, but that doesn't mean the Legacy is done yet!" Cornette exclaimed as Rogue ran up the steel steps and climbed up to the top turnbuckle, and just as Natsu realized what happened, Rogue hit Natsu with a Flying Clothesline. The crowd continued booing as Rogue mounted Natsu and started punching him in the side of the head. Dutch stomped on Soul's chest and back, cheering on Rogue as Sting pulled himself back to his feet, holding his chest and midsection in pain.

"Rogue is in the ring, and he's completely taking it to Natsu, pounding the already bleeding face of Natsu!" Beth exclaimed as Sting joined in on the beatdown, stomping on Natsu while Rogue continued punching him. Rogue then got up, and picked Natsu up, with Sting also grabbing the back of Natsu's tights. The two lifted Natsu up, and dropped him neck first into the barbed wire ropes, causing the crowd to boo as Rogue and Sting pulled Natsu back up, and threw him into the barbed wire again.

"Rogue and Sting now using the barbed wire to damage the BTWF Champion, and you had to expect this given that we're only two weeks away from the Battle Riot on PPV!" Okabe exclaimed as Rogue pushed Natsu's face into the barbed wire with his knee pressing onto the back of his head. Sting then grabbed the steel chair again and started hitting Natsu in the back with multiple steel chair shots before Soul came climbing up the top rope, with his face also bleeding. The crowd cheered as Soul dived off of the top rope, hitting Sting and Rogue with a Double Missile Dropkick.

"Soul is back in business, saving the BTWF Champion from a beatdown! And you said he'd let Natsu get hurt, Okabe!" Beth exclaimed as Soul threw Sting out of the ring, grabbed the steel chair, and hit Rogue right in the face with the steel chair. Security came running down from the back, and the camera panned back to the backstage area as the security guards were able to get into the ring and pull Soul away from Rogue. The camera kept still when it reached the backstage area, with Clover Lamoreaux, Jerry Lewis, and Charlotte Belew standing next to Yuko Yoshida.

"Ladies and gentlemen, last week, Clover was able to defeat Zia Simpson in a no-disqualification match last week, and I wanted to ask you how you feel about your victory?" Yuko asked, holding the microphone underneath Clover's mouth.

"Of course, my victory felt good, but in all honesty, there's no surprise that I was going to win that match. I mean, Zia's been nothing but a loser these past couple of months. Zia failed to win the 7-on7 match for Octane at Bragging Rights, and she failed to defeat the Sisterhood in the Lethal Lockdown match, so why would I have been surprised that she couldn't beat me?" Clover asked as Yuko nodded before taking the microphone back.

"Well for the Lethal Lockdown match, you ran down and distracted her. Plenty of fans are saying that you're the reason that the Sisterhood won," Yuko responded. Clover looked as though she was going to yell at Yuko, but Jerry patted her on the shoulder, helping her calm down before Jerry took over the microphone.

"It's all up to your perspective. From our perspective, Zia showed us how little leadership ability she has, getting distracted so easily by Clover's appearance outside of the ring. Had she been focused, Zia and her team would've had a much better chance of winning," Jerry explained as Clover nodded in response. Charlotte then decided to get in on the action, walking forward so that she could get in front of the microphone.

"I can understand that Zia refuses to take responsibility for her own failures, but Clover is merely trying to make her realize her own shortcomings. If she could just appreciate that and work on herself, then Zia could be the champion right now," Charlotte explained. Before Clover could take the microphone back, Zia stomped over to them, with Ochako Uraraka in tow, trying to keep her from attacking Clover and her entourage.

"You know Clover, you would be making a good point if I and everyone else didn't know that the only reason you're mad at me is that you're jealous that I actually got PPV matches while the company paid your annoying ass to stay at home and away from everyone else," Zia countered. Ochako had to stifle back a laugh, but Clover's confident smirk turned into an annoyed glare before she decided to respond.

"Oh, is that right? Well, what do you say to a match next week? You and your little lost puppy Ochako against me and Charlotte. That way, when you lose again, you could start blaming Ochako too," Clover said with Jerry and Charlotte trying to keep their laughter to themselves. Zia looked as though she was going to slap Clover, but Zia just laughed and shook her head before looking over at Ochako, and nodding.

"Alright Clover, that sounds all well and good. But don't get mad when this loser and Ochako beat the both of you bad enough that you'll want to skip the Battle Riot," Zia responded before flicking her hair at Clover, with Ochako doing the same thing before walking off, leaving Clover annoyed with Jerry and Charlotte trying to calm her down. The camera then panned to Arthur and Tanya's office, with Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee in the office next to the wheel.

"Alright, so your match is next, are you three ready to spin the wheel?" Tanya asked.

"Of course. My warriors train for every match they have, and we thrive in unfamiliar territory. No matter what match we're going to have soon, we're going to win again and humiliate Alex again," Azula responded, with Ty Lee nodding to her monologue with Mai putting a thumbs up in response.

"Very well, let's spin the wheel," Tanya explained. The wheel spun with everyone looking on in anticipation, and after a moment, the wheel landed at 'Tornado match'. Azula smirked as Ty Lee looked excited and Mai looked interested.

"This is better than I could have hoped. I and my warriors thrive under chaos, and we'll show the fans that in only a matter of moments," Azula responded before she snapped her fingers and walked out of the office, with Ty Lee and Mai following Azula out of the office. The camera then panned to the ring, where 'Dear Future Self' by Fall Out Boy played, causing the crowd to cheer as Alex came out with Yukino following behind her, telling Alex they better win this so that she could be part of the Octane roster.

"The following contest is a Tornado Tag Team match! Approaching the ring, the team of Alex Vasquez and Yukino Aguria!" Mary Hughes announced as the crowd gave a mixed reaction to Yukino, who rolled her eyes at the reaction. Meanwhile, Alex was hi-fiving fans, telling the camera that Azula's pets were going to get their asses kicked tonight. Yukino then walked over to Alex, patted her on the shoulder, and reminded her that winning was the only option.

"Alex has been having problems with Azula and her cronies since Azula and her warriors debuted in the BTWF at Bragging Rights," Cornette explained as Alex nodded at Yukino and offered a handshake. Yukino hesitated before accepting the handshake before she and Alex continued their way to the ring. Alex and Yukino made it to the ringside area, looked at each other, and nodded at each other before sliding into the ring from underneath the bottom rope.

"And Yukino has been asking for an Octane contract since around the same time, and that's the whole reason she asked to be Alex's tag partner tonight. If she wins a match on Octane TV, Yukino will earn an Octane contract," Beth further explained as Alex and Yukino got back into their feet. Alex jumped up to the top turnbuckle and pointed at herself with her thumbs while Yukino outstretched her arms with her hands balled into fists while her chest was pushing into the top rope.

"Both of these women have a lot of motivation to win this match here, but we know Azula's soldiers will not make it easy for them," Okabe explained as the lights in the arena went down. The crowd booed as Sanity's 'Controlled Chaos' theme song played, where spotlights were moving around the entire arena before landing on the stage. At the stage, Ty Lee and Mai were standing behind Azula in masks while Azula smirked at the camera unmasked. Azula turned to Ty Lee and Mai and told them to start walking, and they did after Azula started walking.

"And their opponents, accompanied to the ring by Princess Azula, from the Fire Village, Ty Lee, and Mai!" Mary Hughes announced. The crowd continued booing as Ty Lee looked over at some booing fans, and attempted to grab them, but Azula grabbed Ty Lee's hand and told her to calm down as Mai continued to stomp to the ring, her eyes focusing on the ring. While the three continued walking to the ring, Alex and Yukino looked at each other and nodded before running the ropes and hitting both Ty Lee and Mai with a Double Suicide Dive.

"And Alex and Yukino look to start this match early!" Beth exclaimed as Alex and Yukino picked Ty Lee and Mai respectively, threw them back into the ring, and told the referee to ring the bell. Azula glared at Alex and Yukino before the referee rang the bell, with Alex responding by stomping on Ty Lee's face and chest multiple times. Meanwhile, Yukino pushed Mai into the ring and started punching her in the face multiple times. Mai tried to push Yukino away from her, but Yukino fought back with a punch right to the side of the face, sending her falling to her knees.

"Yukino, almost leveling Mai with a hard right-handed punch to the face there!" Beth exclaimed as Alex picked Ty Lee up and threw her into the corner, sending her crashing into Mai, sending her knee ramming into the side of Mai's head. Alex then ran the ropes and hit a Running Corner Dropkick to the side of Ty Lee's face, allowing Yukino to take Ty Lee out of the corner with a Snap Vertical Suplex. Yukino and Alex nodded at each other with much more vigor, hi-fiving each other before picking Ty Lee and Mai back up. The crowd continued cheering as Alex and Yukino Irish whipped Azula's warriors into each other, sending Ty Lee and Mai's heads bumping into each other.

"Alex and Yukino showing some surprising chemistry as a team early on, especially since Yukino isn't exactly a well-liked figure within the locker room," Okabe explained as Alex and Yukino hit a Double Clothesline onto Ty Lee, sending her falling out of the ring. Yukino then picked Mai up in a Fireman's Carry, allowing Alex to run the ropes, hitting Mai in the side of the head with a Running Dropkick to the side of the head at the same time Yukino dropped Mai throat first onto the top rope.

"Ty Lee is thrown out of the ring, leaving Mai all alone with Alex and Yukino!" Cornette exclaimed as while Azula was trying to get Ty Lee back on her feet, Yukino picked Mai up again and hit her with a DDT before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2

Yukino mounted Mai and started hitting her with multiple punches and forearms before getting off, allowing Alex to hit Mai with a Standing 450 Splash, causing the crowd to cheer the impressive display of athleticism. Yukino stomped on Mai a couple of times, allowing Alex to springboard off of the middle rope with a Moonsault. However, before Alex could go up onto the top rope, Azula went up to the apron, and hit Alex in the face with her cast, causing Azula to wince in pain as Alex almost fell off of the top rope.

"Azula making her presence known with a cast shot, dazing Alex!" Beth exclaimed as Ty Lee jumped up next to Azula on the apron, and springboarded into the ring to hit Alex with a Springboard Top Rope Hurricanrana. The crowd began booing as Ty Lee knocked Yukino down with a Savate Kick to the side of the head. Ty Lee threw Yukino outside of the ring before running at Alex, hitting her with a Jumping Leg Drop across the throat as Mai tried pulling herself back up to her feet.

"And now that Yukino's out of the ring, Ty Lee and Mai have the advantage against their rival Alex," Cornette explained as once Mai got back up, she and Ty Lee started stomping a mudhole into Alex, with Azula cheering on from the outside. Mai then threw Alex into the corner and started hitting her with multiple punches to the gut before running the ropes and hitting a Running Corner Clothesline. Ty Lee then ran the ropes and hit Alex with a Running Corner Dropkick to the face before throwing Alex out of the corner. Mai picked Alex up, and hit her with a Backbreaker, allowing Ty Lee to jump up to the middle turnbuckle and hit Alex in the face with a Diving Single Foot Stomp before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2.

"Alex able to kick out, but Yukino is still dazed on the outside, so she's going to have some trouble with Ty Lee and Mai," Beth explained as Ty Lee mounted Alex and hit multiple punches to her face before pulling herself up. Ty Lee then picked Alex up, Mai then knelt down with her knee out, and Ty Lee smashed Alex's face onto Mai's knee before Ty Lee ran the ropes and hit a Springboard Kick to the side of Alex's head. Yukino started getting back to her feet, and Ty Lee responded by running through the middle rope and hitting Yukino with a Middle Rope Senton Dive.

"Ty Lee, despite her instability, showing off some intelligence by making sure that Yukino doesn't get back into the ring!" Okabe exclaimed as in the ring, Mai grabbed both of Alex's wrists and stomped on Alex's exposed chest before jumping up to hit a Double Foot Stomp onto Alex's exposed chest. The crowd continued booing as Azula got in on the fun, hitting multiple kicks to the side of Alex's head while Mai stomped on her chest. Meanwhile, on the outside, Ty Lee picked Yukino up, and threw her into the side of the steel steps before giving her a couple of stomps to the chest, and rolling back into the ring.

"Azula has to be proud not only of the domination her team is showing in the ring, but also the planning and ring-awareness that they're showing as well," Okabe explained as Ty Lee rolled back into the ring, and when she saw Alex trying to fight out of Mai's front facelock, Ty Lee ran and hit Alex in the midsection with a Running Knee. The crowd continued booing as Mai and Ty Lee lifted Alex up and hit her with a Double Gourdbuster. Both women then pulled Alex back to her feet and hit her with Double Kamigoye Knees to both sides of her head. The crowd booed as Mai and Ty Lee turned Alex on her back and rolled her over for a pin.

Ref: 1…2..

"Alex barely rolling her shoulder up, and Ty Lee looks furious at that decision by the referee," Beth explained as Mai glared at the referee before telling Ty Lee to go up to the top rope. The crowd continued booing as Mai picked Alex up and attempted to put her in position with a Powerbomb. However, Alex started punching Mai in the face while she was up in the air, causing the crowd to cheer as Alex was able to Hurricanrana Mai into the top turnbuckle, causing Ty Lee to stagger on the top turnbuckle.

"And Alex is still fighting back, sending Mai right into Ty Lee!" Cornette exclaimed as while Mai was on all fours, Yukino came running into the ring, jumped up on Mai's back, and on the middle turnbuckle. The crowd gave a mixed reaction as Yukino threw Ty Lee off of the top turnbuckle with a Superplex. Yukino and Ty Lee rolled out of the ring, leaving Alex and Mai all alone in the ring, with the crowd cheering as Mai attempted to run at Alex with a Clothesline. Alex was able to Matrix dodge the Clothesline, and hit a Scorpion Kick to the back of Mai's head, knocking her down.

"Alex with a hard kick to the back of the head and neck to take down and daze Mai, and Azula does not look happy on the outside!" Okabe exclaimed as Alex got the fans to clap along with her before running the ropes, and hitting a now standing Mai with a couple of Clotheslines, a Jumping Leg Lariat, and a Black Magic Kick to the back of a kneeling Mai. Alex then ran the ropes, and hit a Double Leg Drop across Mai's chest, putting her in a seated position before Alex ran the ropes, and springboarded off of the middle rope to hit Mai with a Springboard Crossbody before pinning her.

Ref: 1…2.

"Alex continuing to show off her impressive striking and athleticism, but Mai is still able to kick out!" Beth exclaimed as Alex picked Mai up and threw her into the corner. The crowd continued cheering as Alex ran into the corner, and hit Mai in the face with a Running Leg Lariat, but Azula responded by grabbing Alex's leg, keeping her still in the corner. On the outside, Ty Lee and Yukino were brawling, leading to Yukino throwing Ty Lee into the fan barricade before running back into the ring. The crowd gave a mixed reaction as Yukino hit Mai with a Jumping Back Elbow into the corner before dragging her out of the corner and hitting her with the Spinning Scoop Slam before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2..

"Mai once again kicking out, and Azula has to be impressed with the resiliency Mai is showing," Cornette explained as Yukino stomped on Mai several times before attempting to climb up to the top rope. However, the crowd booed as Ty Lee got back onto the apron, and kicked Yukino in the side of the head several times. Alex attempted to go after Ty Lee with a Clothesline, but Ty Lee pushed the top rope down, sending Alex falling off of the ring. The crowd booed as Ty Lee hit a disoriented Alex with an Asai Moonsault, taking her down as Azula smirked at her soldier, giving her light applause.

"Ty Lee with an Asai Moonsault that would make Ultimo Dragon's jaw drop to take down Alex!" Beth exclaimed as Yukino was staggering out of the corner, Mai nailed Yukino with a Running Savate Kick with enough force to push her back into the corner. The crowd booed as Mai stomped on Yukino's face multiple times before running the ropes and hitting Yukino with a Running Knee Strike to the side of the face. Mai then told Ty Lee to get into the ring as she put Yukino in the Russian Legsweep position.

"It looks like Mai wants to end it!" Cornette exclaimed as Ty Lee slid back into the ring from underneath the bottom rope. The crowd continued booing as while Mai kept Yukino in the Russian Legsweep position, ran the ropes, and hit Yukino with a Running Single Leg Dropkick at the same time Mai slammed Yukino down with a Russian Legsweep before Mai went for the pinfall, Ty Lee keeping guard to make sure a stirring Alex couldn't get back into the ring.

*Bell Rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, the team of Ty Lee and Mai!" Mary Hughes announced as Azula applauded her team while walking up the steel steps. Ty Lee jumped up and down with her fists raised in celebration as Mai helped Azula into the ring, with the crowd continuing to boo as Azula pointed at her tag team, telling the fans that they were looking at the next BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions.

"Azula looks like a proud mama there with her team pulling off the impressive victory in this Tornado Tag match!" Beth exclaimed as outside of the ring, Alex pounded on the fan barricade in frustration while pinching the bridge of her nose in frustration. Yukino, meanwhile, tried to pick herself back up with the ropes, but Ty Lee noticed this and kicked her down again, causing the crowd to boo as Azula pulled Ty Lee away with her good arm, telling her to save it for another day.

"Azula's team once again gets the best of Alex, and prevents Yukino from winning an Octane contract," Okabe explained as Alex picked herself back up to her feet, glaring back at Azula and her partners, who were laughing at her. Azula called Alex nothing but a loser and said that the Battle Riot was going to be their show as Azula lifted Ty Lee's wrist up in victory while Mai lifted her fists.

"We're still waiting for the actual participants in the #1 contenders match for the BTWF Women's Tag Team Championships, and Ty Lee and Mai have made a pretty good case for their inclusion in that match," Cornette explained. Azula looked over at Cornette and told him that he was damn right about that and that she was going to make sure of it. Alex told the camera that this isn't over as she walked to the back, holding her head in pain while Yukino staggered to the ringside area. The camera then panned to the backstage area, where Jean Kirstein was looking at himself in the hand mirror while Todd Grisham was waiting for him.

"Are you done, Jean? We have an interview to do," Todd asked impatiently. Jean responded with a glare before putting his hand mirror in Todd's hand, maneuvering it in front of his face before motioning for Todd to ask him a question.

"Jean, you've been making challenges to Mordecai these past couple of weeks even though he's recovering from an injury that Kaminari gave him. My question is why you're doing this despite the fact he's not coming back for months," Todd asked as Jean laughed while fixing his hair and shaking his head.

"Tom, Tom, Tom, I wouldn't expect someone like you to understand. See, Mordecai handed me a loss in my debut match on Octane. I haven't forgotten about that loss, and I want to make sure Mordecai doesn't forget about me either," Jean explained with Todd nodding in response from behind the mirror.

"So you're saying that these constant callouts directed at Mordecai are to make sure that you and Mordecai can have a rematch once he's cleared to compete?" Todd asked as Jean looked impressed at Todd as he nodded before patting him on the shoulder.

"You're catching on Tom, congratulations. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to prepare for my inevitable Battle Riot victory," Jean responded before taking his mirror back from Todd and walking back to the locker room. Todd shook his head in annoyance, mumbling that his name was 'Todd' and not 'Tom' before walking off as the camera panned to a commercial break.

*Commercial Break*

*Commercial Over*

The camera panned back to the GM's office, where Arthur and Tanya were standing in front of Homer Simpson, Senku Ishigami, and Kaworu Nagisa.

"OK, now tonight, you two will be having a rematch. Kaworu, do you have anything to say before we spin the wheel and make the deal?" Arthur joked as Homer and Tanya chuckled while Senku and Kaworu rolled their eyes.

"Mr. Morgan, please let us forgo the terrible jokes and move on with the wheel spinning. I am sure that Senku will come out victorious no matter what stipulation the match is," Kaworu explained as Arthur nodded before spinning the wheel. After a moment, the wheel landed on 'Parking Lot Brawl', causing Homer to smirk while Senku sighed and put his hands over his face.

"Well boys, it looks like you two are going to be in a Parking Lot Brawl. We're going to make some adjustments to the parking lot, and until then, you two might as well make some final preparations," Arthur explained as Kaworu led Senku out of the office, trying to calm him down while Homer left the office with a smile on his face. The camera then panned to the backstage interview area, where Hana Uzaki was standing next to Erza Scarlet.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with 'Titania' Erza Scarlet, who is going to be participating in the BTWF Women's Battle Riot, and since distancing yourself from the Beautiful People, you have been on a roll. How do you feel this momentum will help you in the Battle Riot?" Hana asked, putting the microphone underneath Erza's smirking mouth.

"Ever since I freed myself of the bear trap that was the Beautiful People, I've finally had the chance to be myself again. I've beaten both Alexis and Asuka, competed in my first BTWF PPV main event, and have been training non-stop since then. Rest assured, this momentum will carry me far in the Battle Riot," Erza explained with gusto, which Hana responded to with a nod before taking the microphone back.

"Speaking of that victory over Asuka, your Swords Edge Clothesline broke Asuka's nose. Are you worried about what will happen when she comes back?" Hana asked, causing Erza to chuckle to herself before shaking her head.

"Of course not. I've known Asuka for what feels like a nightmarish eternity, and I know how she'll respond to this. And if she wants to come back to do something about her broken nose, then I'll just break Asuka's nose again and send her back onto the injury list," Erza responded before Hana took the microphone back again and nodded at Erza before looking at the audience via the camera.

"Thank you for your time, Erza. Now, ladies and gentlemen, it's been brought to my attention that the Parking Lot Brawl has been set up, so let's go there right now!" Hana exclaimed. The camera then panned to the parking lot of the arena, with Senku Ishigami and Homer Simpson surrounded by a circle of cars, with Kaworu Nagisa looking worried among the small crowd of observers behind the cars.

"The following contest is a Parking Lot Brawl scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Springfield Illinois, he is Homer Simpson!" Mary Hughes announced. Homer raised his open hand up, roaring at the top of his lungs as the crowd inside the actual arena and the crowd surrounding the cars cheered.

"And his opponent, accompanied to the parking lot by Kaworu Nagisa, from the Kingdom of Science, he is Senku Ishigami!" Mary Hughes announced. The crowd inside the arena and surrounding the cars booed as Senku told the camera that this match was stupid and that he shouldn't have to beat Homer again. While Senku was complaining, the referee told the timekeeper to ring the bell, which the timekeeper did. Homer responded to this by running at Senku, and grabbing him by the hair. The crowd cheered as Homer hit Senku in the gut multiple times before throwing him on the hood of a car.

"Homer starting this match off hot by throwing Senku into the hood of that red car! Luckily Senku didn't land on the glass!" Cornette exclaimed as Homer attempted to hit Senku with a punch while he was laying on the hood. However, Senku was able to roll off of the hood of the car, causing Homer's hand to punch the hood, denting the car. The crowd booed as while Homer was holding her hand in pain, Senku started clubbing Homer in the back of the neck and the back of the head. Homer was able to push Senku away, but Senku came right back and continued clubbing Homer in the back.

"Senku showcasing a more aggressive side to him here, and in an environment like this, this is exactly what Senku has to do," Okabe explained as Homer grabbed Senku by the throat, attempting to hit him with a Chokeslam. However, Senku kicked Homer in the gut several times before poking him in the eye. The crowd booed as Senku hit Homer in the face with multiple forearms before backing away and attempting to hit him with a Running Clothesline. However, Homer was able to counter, sending Senku crashing into the hood of the car with a Back Body Drop. Kaworu winced as Senku rolled off of the car, holding his back while moaning in pain.

"Senku nearly broke the car with his back thanks to that Back Body Drop my Homer!" Cornette exclaimed as Senku attempted to run away from Homer, but Homer grabbed Senku by the hair and hit him with a Frying Pan Chop to the back. The crowd continued to cheer as Homer picked Senku up, and hit him with another Frying Pan Chop to the chest, sending him falling to his back on the floor. Homer then went down and pinned Senku with a wrist pressing against his nose.

Ref: 1…2

"Senku kicked out, but he looks exhausted already! Homer may have this one in the bag!" Beth exclaimed as Senku crawled over to the crowd, and pushed one of the fans aside, grabbing a wrench from the ground. Homer was able to reach Senku, and when Senku attempted to hit Homer with the wrench, Homer grabbed his hand. However, Senku spat on Homer, causing the crowd to boo before Homer attempts to lift him up for a Chokeslam. However, Senku, while in mid-air, Senku hit Homer in the forehead with the wrench, dazing the big man as Senku escaped Homer's grasp.

"Senku with a wrench shot right to the head! You think Kokonoe is as mad at this as she probably is at Kazuma doing this on Intensity?" Cornette asked as Senku hits multiple punches to the top of the head, causing the crowd to boo as Senku turned the punches to forearms to the side of the head. The crowd continued booing as Senku backed away slightly and hit him with a Superkick to the face, sending Homer leaning on a car hood. Senku then ran at Homer, hitting him with a Running Crossbody onto Homer, pinning him on the car hood.

"Oh! You can see the back of Homer's neck crashing into the window wipers of the front window!" Okabe exclaimed as Senku nails Homer in the side of the head with multiple side elbows before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2

"Homer kicking out, but we should mention that Parking Lot Brawls have a Falls Count Anywhere stipulation, which is why Senku was allowed to pin Homer while he was laying on the car," Okabe explained as Senku mounted Homer and started hitting him with multiple punches to the side of the head before getting back on his feet. While standing on the hood of the car, Senku stomped on Homer's face, causing more blood to drip out of the wound on Homer's head.

"We're seeing a more aggressive side of Senku here tonight, rather than the cocky genius we're all used to seeing," Beth noted as Senku jumped up onto the roof of the car, and jumped off of it to hit Homer with a Knee Drop onto the forehead while he was still laying on the hood of the car. Homer started sliding off of the car, and Senku immediately followed him off of the car and kicked him several times in the side of the head. Senku then ran from one side of the Iron Circle, and then hit Homer in the side of the head with a Running Knee Strike, sending Homer falling on his face before Senku went for another pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

"Well, Senku has to Beth. He's not in a wrestling ring, he's in a parking lot surrounded by cars and a bunch of hairy dudes who probably don't wear deodorant," Cornette explained as Senku started stomping on Homer before going into one of the cars, and heading to one of the trunks.

"Now that was just rude, Jim," Beth chastised while laughing as Senku opened the trunk of the car. Senku then pulled out a couple of tire irons from the back and walked back to Homer, who had pulled himself back onto his knees. Senku put the two tire irons on the top of a car roof before grabbing Homer by the ear and hitting him with several knee strikes to the side of the head. The crowd booed as Senku slammed the back of Homer's head into the front of the car, causing the back of his head to slam into the steel. Senku then started choking Homer with his foot, sending the back of Homer's head pushing into the steel of the front of the car.

"Jim's rudeness aside, Senku's aggression seems to be working out, as Homer's bleeding and on the floor," Okabe noted as Senku grabbed the wrench from the floor, and hit him multiple shots to the gut with the wrench. The crowd continued booing as Senku used the wrench to start twisting Homer's ear, causing Homer to scream in pain as Kaworu nodded, applauding his protégé while the rest of the audience standing next to the cars booed him. Senku told the crowd to shut up before Senku dropped the wrench, walked over to the car, and grabbed one of the tire irons.

"Senku now going for the tire iron! This isn't going to end well for Homer!" Beth exclaimed as Senku attempted to hit Homer in the face with the tire iron, but Homer was able to move his head out of the way, sending the tire iron crashing into one of the front headlights. The crowd cheered as Homer started hitting multiple body shots to Senku, sending him staggering away while dropping his tire iron. The crowd continued cheering as Homer lifted himself back up to his feet, grabbed Senku by the back of the hair, and threw him into the front window of one of the cars.

"And Senku landing right on the window, shattering it into a million pieces!" Cornette exclaimed as Homer smirked at the cheering crowd, and ran into the car that Senku was still laying on, hitting Senku with a Jumping Cannonball while he was still in the front window of the car. Senku fell into the car and the crowd cheered when Homer pulled him back out with a hand on his throat. Senku tried to punch Homer in the side of the head to get him to let go, but Homer responded by dazing Senku with a Headbutt to the nose.

"Homer getting back into this match, sending blood flying out of Senku's nose!" Okabe exclaimed as Homer then threw Senku into another car's window. Homer grabbed the tire iron that Senku had dropped, walked up to Senku, and attempted to hit him with the tire iron. Senku rolled out of the car, attempting to dodge the shots with the tire iron, but Homer was able to hit Senku in the gut hard with the tire iron. The crowd continued cheering as Homer threw Senku onto the floor and then climbed up to the front of the car himself.

"What does Homer have planned here, climbing up to the top of the car's hood!?" Beth asked as Homer balanced himself on the hood of the car, and hit a Vader Bomb onto Senku from the top of the car's hood, causing the crowd to cheer before he went for the pin.

Ref: 1…2..

"Senku barely rolled his shoulder off of the floor, and Homer cannot believe it! Honestly, neither can I!" Cornette exclaimed as Homer looked at the referee like he had grown another head. Homer then grabbed the tire iron that he had let go of and attempted once again to hit Senku with the tire iron, but the crowd booed as Senku hit Homer with a low blow. Senku, after taking a moment to get his breath back, grabbed the tire iron and hit Homer in the side of the head with the tire iron multiple times before jumping on top of the hood of a nearby car, and jumping off the hood to hit a Diving Back Elbow onto Homer, knocking him down before going for the pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.

Ref: 1…2..

"Homer barely kicking out there, and Kaworu is telling Senku from the crowd to hurry and finish him off!" Okabe exclaimed as Senku put Homer on his knees and attempted to hit Homer with the Petrification (Jumping Complete Shot). However, Homer responded by headbutting Senku in the chest several times, sending him staggering onto the hood of another nearby car. Homer motioned for the Chokeslam, causing the crowd to cheer as Homer grabbed Senku by the throat, looking over at Kaworu, telling him that he was next when he got better.

"Homer looks to finish Senku off here! Homer may send Senku through the car with this Chokeslam!" Beth exclaimed as Senku raked Homer in the eyes while he was held up in the air. With Homer temporarily blinded, Senku sent Homer's head and face crashing onto the hood of the car with a Petrification (Jumping Complete Shot), pushing him off of the hood of the car before Senku went for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…3

*Bell Rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Senku Ishigami!" Mary Hughes announced as the crowd in the arena and the crowd surrounding the circle of cars booed him. Kaworu pushed some of the fans out of the way to get to Senku as he leaned on the car to keep himself from falling to the floor. The referee, meanwhile, checked on Homer, who was holding his hands over his face, which was bleeding all over the place, dripping blood on the floor of the parking lot.

"Senku able to counter the Chokeslam into the Petrification, sending Homer crashing into the car! And just like that, Senku has extended his undefeated streak!" Cornette exclaimed as Kaworu helped Senku back to his feet. The crowd continued booing as Senku told the crowd that the Battle Riot was going to be his show, but as he was ranting, Senku noticed that Eren Jeager was in the crowd with a drink and bag of popcorn in his hands.

"Senku just took notice of Eren in the crowd. Was…was he always there?" Beth asked her fellow broadcast colleagues as Senku told Eren that he wasn't going to last two minutes in the Battle Riot, and he was going to end up in the same position as Homer was right now. Eren chuckled before grabbing his bag of popcorn, taking a couple of handfuls of popcorn into his mouth, and throwing the rest of the popcorn at Senku's face. The crowd continued cheering as Senku took a sip of his drink and threw it in Senku and Kaworu's faces.

"I didn't notice him in the crowd, but he's certainly stealing the spotlight here tonight!" Okabe exclaimed as Senku and Eren began brawling throughout the crowd and near the cars. Kaworu yelled at the referee tending to Homer to stop Eren from assaulting Senku, but the referee said that he couldn't leave until he stopped Homer's bleeding. While Eren and Senku were still brawling, Kaworu hit Eren in the back with one of his crutches, causing the crowd to go back to booing as Senku and Kaworu started stomping on Eren as the referee finally separated himself from Homer and went over to try and stop this brawl.

"We know that Eren wants to make a name for himself before he debuts for BTWF Evolve, but this may come at the cost of his health if he's not careful!" Cornette exclaimed as the referee was finally able to pull Eren away from Senku and Kaworu. The camera then panned back to the GM's office, where the BTWF World Tag Team Champions Joe Wolf and Charlie Bonifer along with Owen and Manabo were standing with Arthur and Tanya.

"Alright you guys, are you ready for your match stipulation?" Arthur asked as Owen simply nodded.

"Of course we are. Ever since getting rid of Mr. Enter, our heads have never been clearer. We can finally talk and think for ourselves, and there's nothing that's going to make us happier than proving Enter wrong about us, and dominating Octane without him!" Manabo exclaimed as the rest of the group nodded.

"And from now on, we are no longer known as Enter Enterprises. We are now going to be known as the Chaos Conspiracy!" Joe exclaimed. Arthur rolled his eyes and mumbled about that being a stupid name before spinning the wheel. After a moment of anticipation, the wheel landed on 'Fatal-4-Way' match, causing Manabo to pinch the bridge of his nose in annoyance.

"Congratulations guys, you're defending your BTWF World Tag Team Championships in a Fatal-4-Way match coming up," Arthur explained with a smile as Owen glared at Arthur while Joe and Bonifer looked at each other in shock.

"This is bullshit! We just won these titles, and we're putting them on the line against three random teams!?" Joe exclaimed as Arthur knelt down to get onto Joe's level and nodded.

"Yep, now gentlemen, I suggest you go and get whatever preparation you can in before the match," Arthur explained before showing them the door. Joe and Bonifer gave one last glare at Arthur before leaving with Manabo and Owen following them out. On their way out, Kagura Mikazuchi and Millianna came walking into the office, with Joe and Kagura exchanging annoyed glares before they walked into the office, heading towards Tanya's desk.

"Let me guess, you dragged Millianna out of her training so you can ask me whether or not I've decided on your placement in the #1 contenders match for the BTWF Women's Tag Team Championships, right?" Tanya asked. Kagura's eyebrows briefly raised as Tanya had guessed exactly what had happened, but she took a deep breath and calmed herself down before continuing.

"Well, I wouldn't say I 'dragged' her out of training, but yes, I am curious about our placement in the #1 contenders match," Kagura explained as Tanya nodded before sighing.

"Look, I'm still thinking about it. I should have something at the end of the show and will let the teams involved know, but I have considered your past wins and battles against the Sisterhood," Tanya explained. Before Kagura and Millianna could say anything, Denki Kaminari and Tim Scam came walking into the room, completely ignoring Kagura and Millianna before walking over to Arthur.

"Really!? I'm not even scheduled for any promo time!? Are you still that mad that I sent Mordecai to the hospital!?" Kaminari asked angrily, slapping his hand on Arthur's desk. Arthur looked either amused by the whole situation, but Kagura looked annoyed, and despite Millianna's protests, stomped over to Kaminari to confront him.

"Excuse you, but we were here first. You can take your whining elsewhere," Kagura stated, poking Kaminari in the chest. Kaminari looked over at Kagura and glared down at her as Millianna and Scam were there to keep things from going too far. Arthur and Tanya, not wanting anything bad to happen to their office, got up from their desks and walked over to the wrestlers.

"OK, this ain't the ring, this is our office. Kaminari, you can have some promo time next week. Kagura and Millianna wait until Tanya is ready to reveal the people in the #1 contenders' match," Arthur explained. Kaminari and Kagura looked at Arthur and gave each other one last glare before leaving with their respective partners. Arthur rubbed his temples to calm an upcoming headache before the camera panned to the stage, where 'Sound of Madness' by Shinedown played, causing the crowd to boo as Joe and Bonifer came out with Manabo and Owen following them out of the back.

"The following contest is a Fatal-4-Way Tag Team Match scheduled for one fall! And it is for the BTWF World Tag Team Championships! Introducing first, representing and accompanied by the Chaos Conspiracy, from Toms River, New Jersey, they are the BTWF World Tag Team Champions, Joe Wolf and Charlie Bonifer!" Mary Hughes announced as Bonifer, with the championship belt in his teeth, pushed a fist into his cheek while Joe knelt down and pointed to the ring.

"Mr. Enter is no longer there to, in Joe's words on Twitter, hold them down like an anchor. You have to wonder what he means by that since Enter did lead them to tag team gold," Beth wondered out loud as Manabo yelled at the booing fans, telling them to shut their mouths. Owen simply gave Bonifer and Joe supportive pats on the shoulder before turning to the fans, giving them an ire-filled glare.

"I think what Joe means by that is that Enter likes to claim he's the only reason that Chaos Conspiracy ever won the BTWF World Tag Team Championships and really talked down to his members online. I think Chaos Conspiracy wants to make sure that the fans know they are the ones who made the group what it was," Okabe explained as Bonifer and Joe marched to the ring with their championships in their hands. Joe and Bonifer were yelling and arguing with fans as they continued making their way to the ring while Manabo and Owen followed them to the ring.

"Well, either way, they do not look happy having to defend their championships in a Fatal-4-Way," Cornette noted as when Joe and Bonifer got to ringside, they gave their championship belts to Owen and Manabo and rolled into the ring from underneath the bottom rope. Joe and Bonifer went to the center of the ring and posed with Bonifer pressing his fist against his cheek and Joe kneeling down on one knee, pointing to the booing crowd. When they got back up to their feet, Joe and Bonifer looked at the stage to see who were going to be their opponents for the match. The crowd cheered as 'The Curse' by Disturbed played, with Kensuke and Touji came running out of the back.

"And introducing their opponents first, from Tokyo Japan, they are Kensuke Aida and Touji Suzuhara!" Mary Hughes announced as Kensuke jumped on Touji's back, and the crowd continued cheering as they hi-fived fans on their way to the ring. Bonifer and Joe looked perplexed at their first set of opponents and started chucking with Manabo calling the two of them losers. Touji and Owen had a brief staredown due to their feud earlier last year before they continued their way to the ring by going up the steel steps.

"A surprising pick by our general managers here, but the crowd does seem to enjoy this pick," Beth pointed out as when Touji and Kensuke got into the ring, 'Defy' by Of Mice and Men played, the crowd continuing to cheer as Nico and Black Star came running out of the back, pointing at the crowd before running at each other and giving each other a jumping hi-five on the stage. Black Star and Nico continued to run down the entrance ramp, with both of them hi-fiving the fans.

"And their opponents, the team of Black Star and Nico!" Mary Hughes announced as Black Star slid into the ring from underneath the bottom rope, while Nico jumped onto the apron and rolled over the top rope and into the ring. Black Star and Nico kipped back up to their feet and gave a jumping hi-five to each other. Bonifer and Joe looked at Black Star and Nico with confusion and started laughing at them while Touji and Kensuke applauded them as Black Star and Nico went into their corner.

"Black Star and Nico have been teaming up at live events recently, and it seems like they impressed management enough for them to have this opportunity," Cornette explained as Blake and Murphy's 'Action Packed' theme song played, causing the crowd to boo as Manny came strutting out of the back with El Oso following after him. The crowd continued booing as Manny looked into the camera, and told Valentino and Frida that he and Oso were going to become better BTWF World Tag Team Champions than Valentino and Baam ever were.

"And their opponents, from Miracle City Mexico, they are the team of El Oso and 'the One and Only' Manny Rivera!" Mary Hughes announced as Manny turned around, and jumped up to give Oso a hi-five. Oso then flexed both of his arms for the booing crowd while Manny strutted to the ring, blowing off a couple of the fans sticking their thumbs that were pointed down in his face. Manny made it to the ringside area, turned around, and applauded El Oso as he continued stomping his way to the ring.

"Oso and Manny recently had a tag team title shot at Christmas Chaos but failed to win the titles. This could be the second chance that they have been waiting for," Okabe explained as Oso walked up to the apron, and over the top rope to get into the ring. Manny, on the other hand, jumped up onto the apron, jumped up to the middle rope, and then rolled into the ring, landing in front of El Oso. Manny, while on one knee, flexed both of his arms while Oso raised one fist in the air while patting Manny on the shoulder with his free hand.

"Manny may have gotten too cocky in their tag match at Christmas Chaos, keeping Oso on the apron longer than he probably should have. Manny probably won't make that mistake again," Okabe explained as Manny and Oso went into their corner, and once the referee checked that all the teams were ready, the referee told the timekeeper to ring the bell. Once the referee did, El Oso and Black Star went into the ring, staring each other down, or in Black Star's case, staring up at Oso. Oso simply laughed at Black Star before pie-facing him and pushing him into the corner.

"It looks like you're right about that, Okabe, as Manny is letting him start this match here," Beth responded as Oso walked onto the corner and grabbed Black Star by the throat. However, Black Star kicked Oso in the gut a couple of times, causing the crowd to cheer as he was able to escape Oso's grip and hit him with several punches to the side of the head. Black Star ran the ropes and attempted to hit Oso with a Jumping Clothesline, but Oso knocked him down with a Shoulder Tackle while Black Star was in mid-air. The crowd booed as Oso grabbed Black Star by the hair, and threw him back into the corner before hitting him with several back elbows to the side of his head.

"Oso with some vicious strikes to the side of the head, and Black Star already looks dazed!" Cornette exclaimed as Touji tagged himself into the match by tagging Black Star. The crowd cheered as Touji and Oso traded punches in the corner before Black Star kicked Oso in the side of the head, allowing Touji to get the advantage in the brawl. However, Oso sent Touji to his knees with a Headbutt to the face after pushing one of his punches away. The crowd booed as Oso began clubbing Touji in the back, but went back to cheering as Touji hit Oso in the chest with a couple of headbutts of his own.

"Touji not backing down from the monstrous El Oso, taking the fight right to the gargantuan!" Cornette exclaimed as Oso attempted to hit a running Big Boot onto a now standing Touji, but Touji ducked, and Manny tagged himself into the match. Touji didn't know this and knocked Oso onto his feet with a Big Boot of his own. However, Manny took Touji down with a Springboard Missile Dropkick to Touji's back. The crowd booed as Manny taunted a downed Touji before stomping on his back and chest multiple times.

"Manny is in the match now, taking advantage of the damage Oso's done with his strikes," Okabe explained as Oso went back onto the apron while Manny grabbed Touji's arm, wrung it, and hit several kicks to the chest of Touji. However, Touji was able to grab one of those kicks, causing the crowd to go back to cheering as Touji pushed Manny away, and Manny immediately responded by springboarding off of the middle rope, attempting to hit a Stunner. However, Touji was able to counter this attempted Springboard move into a German Suplex, going for the first pinfall of the match.

"Manny kicked out there, but Touji isn't letting up!" Beth exclaimed as Touji mounted Manny and started punching him in the face multiple times after breaking out of the pin. However, the crowd booed as Manny poked Touji in the eye and kicked him a couple of times in the face. Manny ran the ropes but stopped as Joe tagged himself into the match, causing the crowd to boo as Manny and Joe began arguing, but when they noticed Touji getting back up, Joe and Manny looked at each other, shrugged, and knocked Touji down with a Double Dropkick to the face.

"Some unlikely teamwork here, which is not too uncommon for matches like these," Cornette explained as Joe threw Manny out of the ring, and went for the pin on Touji.

Ref: 1…2

Kensuke ran into the ring and broke up the pin by hitting a forearm smash to Joe's back. Joe responded by brawling with Kensuke, which allowed Kensuke to headbutt Joe in the face, allowing Touji to roll Joe up with a Victory Roll.

Ref: 1…2

Joe kicked out, but Touji responded by lifting Joe up, causing the crowd to cheer. However, Bonifer was able to tag himself into the match, causing the crowd to boo as Bonifer hit Touji with a Savate Kick to the side of the head. Bonifer then pushed Joe onto the apron before hitting Kensuke with a Clothesline that sent him spinning in the air. The crowd booed as Bonifer flipped the crowd and the other competitors in the match off before hitting Touji with a Standing Moonsault.

"The World Tag Team Champions finally getting some hits in this match, with Bonifer hitting a beautiful looking Standing Moonsault onto Touji!" Cornette exclaimed. The crowd continued booing as Bonifer mounted Touji, and hit him with multiple forearms to the face and side of the head. Bonifer then picked Touji up and hit him with multiple Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before taking him down with a Belly to Belly Suplex before going for the pin, hooking both of his legs back.

Ref: 1…2.

"This match has been chaotic so far, so, interestingly, the Chaos Conspiracy is responsible for this match regaining some order," Okabe noted as Bonifer pulled Touji into his corner by the hair, and tagged Joe back into the match. The crowd booed as Bonifer held Touji down with his head leaning in front of the bottom turnbuckle, allowing Joe to jump from the corner into the ring, hitting Touji in the chest with the Hardy-ac Arrest. The crowd continued booing as Joe and Bonifer stomped on Touji in the corner before the referee pulled the both of them out of the corner, and told Bonifer to leave the ring.

"Joe and Bonifer stomping a mudhole into Touji and walking it dry!" Cornette exclaimed as Joe put Touji on his knees, and started hitting him with multiple jabs to the side of the face before running the ropes and hitting Touji in the side of the head with a Basement Dropkick, sending Touji's head draped over the middle rope. Joe choked Touji by pushing his throat into the rope by using his foot. The referee pulled Joe away, and while he was distracted, Bonifer hit a Jumping Leg Drop across the back of Touji's head. When Kensuke tried to come running up at him, Bonifer threw him off of the apron and onto the floor, the crowd continuing their jeering as Bonifer laughed at both Touji and Kensuke.

"Bonifer taking a sick pleasure in the damage he's causing to both Touji and Kensuke!" Beth exclaimed as Joe ran the ropes and hit a Leapfrog Body Guillotine onto Touji's back, slammed the back of his head back onto the mat, and went for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

Joe pounded the mat in frustration before kicking Touji in the face before noticing Black Star talking trash to him from the apron. Joe responded by talking trash to him as well before hitting Black Star in the face with a punch, causing the crowd to boo as Joe pushed Black Star off of the apron. The crowd continued booing as Joe ran back to Touji, and hit a Running Stomp on Touji's chest before flipping off Kensuke.

"Joe's confidence is at an all-time high now that he's in the driver's seat, and the rest of the wrestlers on the apron are the victims of Joe's mouth!" Beth exclaimed as Joe grabbed Touji by the hair, and put him in a Rear Chinlock. The crowd booed as Joe pushed Touji down, rubbing Touji's face into the mat while keeping him locked in the Rear Chinlock. After almost a minute in the hold, Touji started getting back to his feet, causing the crowd to cheer as Joe attempted to punch Touji in the head to send him back down.

"Touji looks to be fighting out of the Chinlock, taking Joe off of his feet to alleviate some of the pressure off of the Chinlock!" Cornette exclaimed as Joe raked Touji in the eyes, causing the crowd to boo as Joe ran the ropes and hit Touji in the back with a Running Knee Strike, sending Touji falling into the middle turnbuckle face first. The crowd continued booing as Joe stomped on Touji's back before tagging Bonifer into the match. Bonifer rolled into the ring, flipped Manny and Oso off, and when Joe went back onto the apron, Bonifer hit a Running Crossbody to Touji's back.

"Bonifer and Joe continuing to show off their excellent teamwork as the rest of the teams wait for their time to shine!" Beth exclaimed as Bonifer picked Touji up by the hair, and attempted to put him in position for the Stump Puller Piledriver. However, the crowd cheered as Touji was able to throw Bonifer overhead with a Back Body Drop. Bonifer tried to get back to his feet quickly, but Touji was able to jump up and hit Bonifer with a Superman Punch that sent both men back down to the mat.

"Touji is finally able to separate himself from the World Tag Team Champions! Can he get out of the ring!?" Okabe exclaimed as Touji and Bonifer tried to get to their corners, but Nico was able to tag Bonifer to get back into the match, while Manny was able to tag himself into the match by tagging Touji. The crowd cheered as Nico ran the ropes, dodged Manny's attempt at a Clothesline, and turned Manny inside out with a Clothesline of his own. The crowd continued to cheer as Nico knocked Joe and Bonifer down off of the apron with a Running Dropkick to the face. The crowd continued to cheer as Nico was able to dodge Manny's attempt at a corner attack, and hit him with a Pendulum Kick. Nico then jumped onto the top rope and hit Manny with a Missile Dropkick with enough force to send him flipping.

"Nico on a roll here, nearly sending Manny inside out with that Missile Dropkick!" Cornette exclaimed as Nico put Manny on his knees, and started kicking him in the chest before Manny blocked one of the kicks, and pushed the leg away. The crowd booed as Manny jumped back up to his feet and hit Nico with a Jumping Knee to the chest before pushing him into the ropes, allowing Oso to attempt and clubs him in the back. However, Nico was able to counter the club by hitting Oso with a Pele Kick to the face before Springboarding off of the middle rope and hitting Manny with a Springboard Hurricanrana before rolling up into a pin.

Ref: 1…2.

Kensuke ran into the ring and broke up the pin, with Black Star responding by Springboarding into the ring and hitting Kensuke with a Springboard Clothesline. Kensuke and Black Star began brawling inside of the ring, causing the referee to become distracted by trying to separate them. While the referee was being distracted, Manabo and Owen sprung into action, grabbing Oso by the legs, pulling him off of the apron, and beating him down with clubs and stomps.

"Owen and Manabo beating down the biggest competitor of this match, making sure that Bonifer and Joe have an easier time of defending their championships!" Beth exclaimed as Owen hit a Standing Earthquake Splash onto Oso's chest while Manabo hit a Jumping Splash onto Owen's chest right after. Owen and Manabo hi-fived each other before the crowd cheered as Black Star and Kensuke ran through the ropes and hit stereo Suicide Dives onto Owen and Manabo, sending them staggering.

"Black Star and Kensuke coming to try and take out the two goliaths on the outside!" Cornette exclaimed as Kensuke and Black Star continued punching Owen and Manabo in the face and side of the head. Meanwhile, in the ring, Manny got back to his feet, and kicked Nico in the side of the head before Springboarding off of the middle rope, and hitting Nico with a Springboard Middle Rope Bulldog. The crowd continued booing as Manny told the crowd they were looking at a future world champion before hitting Nico in the chest with a Standing 630 Senton before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2..

"Manny nearly crushed Nico's ribcage with that senton, but he was still able to escape the pin, even if he barely did," Okabe explained as Manny pounded on the mat and started arguing with the referee while he was still on the mat. The crowd continued booing as Manny kicked Nico in the side of the head a couple of times while on the ground, and kipped back up to his feet, holding his back in pain. Manny then started climbing up to the top rope, telling the crowd that the match was over. When he got to the top turnbuckle, Manny tried to balance himself on the top turnbuckle for the High Angle Swanton Bomb. However, Nico was able to get back to his feet and kick the top rope, sending Manny falling on the top turnbuckle crotch first.

"Nico preventing the High Angle Swanton Bomb! This could be the chance that he's looking for to win this match!" Okabe exclaimed as Nico climbed up to the top rope while holding his head, and started hitting Manny with multiple forearms to the side of the head. The crowd cheered as Nico stuck his tongue out in Manny's face, smiled at a downed Oso, and hit Manny with a Top Rope Hurricanrana. The crowd continued cheering as Nico ran the ropes, hitting a Springboard Twisting Leg Drop across Manny's throat, but when he attempted to pin Manny, the referee told him that he was not the legal man and that Bonifer was.

"Bonifer tagged himself into the match, and Nico's now just noticing!" Beth exclaimed as Bonifer hit Nico with a knee to the back of the head. The crowd booed as Bonifer threw Nico outside, but before he could pick Manny up, Manny kicked Bonifer on the top of the head while on the ground and crawled away from him. However, Bonifer grabbed Manny's leg and attempted to lock him in an Ankle Lock, but Manny continued dragging himself to the ropes. As Manny tried to reach out to the ropes, Touji tagged himself back into the match, causing the crowd to cheer as Touji ran into the ring, and hit Touji with a Single Leg Basement Dropkick before knocking Bonifer down with a Knife-Edge Uppercut before going for the pin.

"Joe taking everyone out, leaving Bonifer all by his lonesome with Touji!" Okabe exclaimed as Bonifer noticed Oso finally trying to get back to his feet, and Bonifer responded by grabbing Touji, and throwing him into Oso's head. Oso fell back to his knees in a daze, and while Touji was also dazed, Bonifer hit Touji with a Stump Puller Piledriver. The crowd booed as Bonifer pinned Touji while hooking his legs and laughing at the crowd's disappointed looks as they knew what was going to happen next.

*Bell Rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, and still the BTWF World Tag Team Champions, representing Chaos Conspiracy; they are Joe Wolf and Charlie Bonifer!" Mary Hughes announced as Bonifer sat up, applauding himself as he looked into the camera, telling Mr. Enter that he, Joe, and everyone else in Chaos Conspiracy never needed him and that they were going to dominate the BTWF without him. Bonifer then rolled out of the ring, pushing the referee away from him, and walking over to Joe, Manabo, and Owen.

"Bonifer and Joe's first title defense may not have been what they expected, but with some good teamwork and timely interference by Manabo and Owen, they are still the champions," Cornette explained as Bonifer and Joe hugged each other as Manabo swiped the BTWF World Tag Team Championship titles from the ringside attendant, and gave them to Bonifer and Joe. Bonifer and Joe then extended their hug to Manabo and Owen as Black Star tried helping Nico back to their feet.

"Defending against three teams is no small feat, so no matter how they did it, it was still very impressive," Beth explained as the crowd continued booing while Kensuke rolled into the ring to check on Touji, who was still holding his head in pain. Manny, meanwhile, checked on Oso, who was coughing because of the Earthquake Splash from Owen. Manny started arguing with the referee while telling him that Owen and Manabo had attacked Oso, which the Chaos Conspiracy responded to by laughing at him.

"Manny trying to tell the referee what happened, but to remind the fans, we do not have an instant replay rule here in the BTWF, so regardless of what happens, the referee's decision is final," Okabe explained. The crowd continued booing as Chaos Conspiracy began walking away from the ring, continuing to celebrate with the BTWF World Tag Team Championships, and Bonifer telling the camera that they better get used to this. The camera then panned backstage to the trainer's room, where Natsu and Soul were being cared for due to their injuries from the barbed wire attack earlier. Next to them was Jack Korpela, who stood next to the patient's table that Natsu was laying down on.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the BTWF Champion Natsu Dragneel and one of the contenders for the BTWF Championship at the Battle Riot PPV, Soul Eater Evans who were viciously assaulted by Sting and Rogue using the barbed wire that was around the ring exclusively for Natsu and Sting's barbed wire match," Korpela explained while Natsu tapped him on the shoulder, telling him to bring the microphone down to his mouth.

"Look, Jack, I know you're trying to remind the people at home what happened, but can we get to the question already, because I feel like shit right now and I need to rest up," Natsu said, wincing as one of the trainers continued disinfecting the wounds on Natsu's right arm.

"Of course. Now Natsu, after this attack, how do you feel about your chances in the Fatal-4-Way at Christmas Chaos for your BTWF Championship?" Korpela asked as Natsu nodded before taking a deep breath as the trainer started wrapping gauze around his arm.

"I feel about the same as I did yesterday. A few cuts and scrapes aren't going to help Sting and Rogue get what they want, and come the Battle Riot, I'm going to walk out the way I walked in; with the BTWF Championship over my shoulder," Natsu said before Soul sat up with another trainer putting gauze around his body too.

"Well I agree with Natsu on everything except the last thing; at Battle Riot, I'M going to be the one to walk out with the BTWF Championship," Soul said as Natsu looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"I'd argue with you Soul, but I'm WAY too exhausted right now, so we'll come back to this later," Natsu said, letting out a chuckle before letting the trainers take care of their wounds as Korpela left the room and the camera panned to the commercial break.

*Commercial Break*

*Commercial Over*

The camera panned back to the General Managers' office where Maki and Mai Zenin were standing next to the wheel along with Panty and Stocking. Tanya walked over to the wheel and prepared to spin it before looking over at two of the tag teams.

"Are you four ready to determine the stipulation for your match?" Tanya asked as Panty and Stocking nodded, with Panty licking her lips in anticipation. Maki and Mai nodded, but Maki decided to step forward so that she could say something, causing Panty and Stocking to roll their eyes, with Stocking mimicking shooting herself in the head.

"Of course myself and Mai are ready. We are the most technically superior team in the BTWF, and no matter which stipulation gets picked, these two glorified strippers are going to realize that they don't belong in the ring with Mai and I," Maki explained as Tanya nodded before spinning the wheel. After a moment of anticipation, the needle landed on 'Lingerie match', causing Panty and Stocking to look at the shocked and annoyed faces of Maki and Mai and laughed at them.

"Well your match is going to be a Lingerie match, meaning the four of you are going to be competing in Lingerie," Tanya explained as Maki shook her head in disbelief as Mai pinched the bridge of her nose in frustration.

"No, no, no! Mai and I are legitimate wrestlers, and we should not be in a match like this!" Maki exclaimed as Tanya looked at Maki with a raised eyebrow as Stocking interjected.

"But didn't you just say that you and your sister would be ready for any type of match?" Stocking asked, tilting her head to the side. Mai looked as though she was going to hit her, but Panty got in front of her and put a hand in front of her face.

"Look, let's save the action for in the ring. We're going to get ready so that the audience can get excited over something because it's sure not going to be you two," Panty said, giving a wink to Mai before walking out of the office with Stocking. Maki growled under her breath before continuing her tirade against this upcoming Lingerie match.

"This is ridiculous! Mai and I are not some eye candy for these idiots in the arena! We are professionals!" Maki continued to rant as Tanya pulled a stack of papers from her desk and shoved them in Maki's face.

"Do you see this? These are all the plans I've come up with for the Fatal-4-Way #1 contenders match for the Women's Tag Team titles next week. If you don't go through with the match with Panty and Stocking, then I don't have a problem ripping some of these notes up, and rest assured, those notes are going to be the ones that include you and Mai," Tanya threatened. Maki took several deep breaths before looking back at Mai, who reluctantly sighed and nodded before Maki turned around briskly and walked over to Mai.

"This isn't over," Maki warned before she and Mai walked out of the room to get ready for the match. The camera then panned to the backstage interview area, where Rei Ayanami is standing next to Pieck Finger.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with Rei Ayanami, who later tonight will have a BTWF World Women's Championship rematch against the woman who took the title away from her, Sherry Blendy. I have to say Rei, it does feel strange to call you a former Women's champion," Pieck admitted as Rei looked at Pieck, and nodded before looking down at her waist, where the BTWF World Women's Championship would normally be.

"I can completely understand that, Pieck. To be quite honest with you, I almost feel incomplete without the BTWF World Women's Championship, a championship that I've been making one of the most prestigious Women's Championships in the entirety of the Fanfiction Wrestling Multiverse," Rei explained as Pieck nodded before taking the microphone back.

"So Rei, how are you feeling about this match coming up with Sherry and that you and Sherry don't know the stipulation of the title match?" Pieck asked as Rei looked down at the floor for a second before looking back up and nodding.

"Confident. It doesn't matter what Sherry has planned, nothing is going to stop me from reclaiming the BTWF World Women's Championship and taking what she calls her Keys to the Kingdom back," Rei explained before walking away from the backstage interview area. The camera panned to the stage, where the Beautiful People's TNA theme song played, causing the crowd to cheer as Panty and Stocking posed behind a curtain, showing the cheering crowd their shadows only.

"The following contest is a Lingerie match scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, the team of Panty and Stocking!" Mary Hughes announced as the curtain fell, revealing Panty and Stocking posing while in lingerie. Panty's lingerie was red, while Stocking's was a combination of black and purple, and the two continued to show off their lingerie as they walked off of the stage and down the entranceway.

"Well if there are two women who don't mind bearing their assets for the world to see, it's Panty and Stocking," Okabe explained as Stocking ground on the fan barricade while hi-fiving several of the fans in the front row. Panty then grabbed Stocking by her hands, and picked her back up to her feet, with the crowd continuing to cheer as they continued making their way to the ring, hi-fiving fans in the front row while continuing to show off their lingerie. When the two got to the ringside area, Panty picked her leg up and laid it down on the ring apron.

"They definitely do not mind showing it off, which makes me think that they'll have the mental advantage in this match," Beth responded as Stocking did the same thing on the other side of the ring. Both Panty and Stocking pulled themselves all the way on the apron, before pulling themselves back up to their feet. Stocking then sat on the middle rope, giving her ass a light shake as she went into the ring. Panty then jumped up onto the top rope, and ground on the ropes as Stocking posed in the corner.

"Jeez Jim, you're awfully quiet right now. Have Panty and Stocking really blown your mind that much?" Beth asked while chuckling as it looked like Panty was going to start twerking, the crowd booed as Kay Lee Ray's 'Venom' theme song played as Maki and Mai came out of the back, the crowd booing louder as it was revealed that Maki and Mai were wearing dark blue bathrobes to cover up their bodies.

"And their opponents, from Kyoto Japan, they are the team of Maki and Mai Zenin, the Zenin Sisters!" Mary Hughes announced as Maki yelled at the camera that their lingerie was underneath these bathrobes and that they weren't going to show their exposed bodies to the fans. Mai told the camera that they were going to destroy these sluts in the ring, and show why they're the best pound-for-pound wrestlers in the Women's division.

"Well Beth, the reason I feel so bad is that my friends Maki and Mai are being forced to wrestle two women in their underwear when they're one of the best teams in the BTWF!" Cornette began ranting as Maki and Mai stomped up the steel steps when they got to the ringside area and walked into the ring. The crowd continued booing as Maki and Mai quickly went into their corner, telling the referee to get the match over with, and when the referee got the confirmation that Panty and Stocking were ready, the referee told the timekeeper to ring the bell.

"Well, let's see if Maki's ass can cash the check that her mouth just wrote!" Beth exclaimed as Maki started the match with Stocking, and rather than lock up, Maki kicked Stocking in the gut. The crowd booed as Maki pushed Stocking into the corner and started punching her in the side of the head multiple times before the referee pulled Maki out of the corner. The crowd continued booing as Maki went back into the corner and started stomping on Stocking's chest, and continued stomping on her until the referee pulled Maki out of the corner once again.

"Maki starting this match off aggressively, showing how seriously she takes all matches, even a lingerie match like this!" Cornette exclaimed, cheering on Maki as she dragged Stocking out of the corner with a Side Headlock. However, Stocking responded by punching Maki in the gut, and Irish whipping her into the ropes. Maki stopped herself, but Stocking ran into the ropes, hitting Maki with a knee to the gut. While Stocking was punching Maki on the top of the head, Panty started undoing the robe's belt.

"Stocking trying to get control back in their favor, and you can see Panty trying to get Maki's robe off!" Beth exclaimed as Maki elbowed Panty in the side of the head a couple of times. However, when she attempted to push Stocking away, Maki was grabbed by the arm, and Stocking took her down with a Hip Toss. The crowd began cheering as Stocking put Maki in a seated position, and ran the ropes to hit a Running Seated Clothesline. Stocking then attempted to grab Maki's belt again, but Maki poked Stocking in the eye before attempting to roll her up with a Small Package.

Ref: 1…2

"Maki almost stole it there! Stocking and Panty may be too focused on trying to show off the lingerie Maki and Mai were wearing!" Okabe exclaimed as Stocking escaped the pin, grab Maki by the hair, and hit her with multiple Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before putting her in the corner. Stocking then attempted to run into the corner with a Running Dropkick, but Maki was able to roll out of the way, and Stocking was able to land on the middle rope. The crowd cheered as Stocking hit Maki from behind with a Middle Rope Diving Elbow Smash, sending Maki crashing onto the ground.

"Nice counter by Stocking, nearly sending Maki's head bobbling!" Beth exclaimed as Stocking picked Maki up, slapped her in the face, and was finally able to remove Maki's robe. The crowd cheered as Maki tried to get her robe back, and tried to cover up her blue and red lingerie before Stocking rolled her up with a School Girl.

Ref: 1…2

"This is unfair! A travesty of justice! Maki and Mai aren't at their mental best because they don't want to make themselves look indecent!" Cornette continued ranting as Maki kicked out, and clubbed Stocking on the back before tagging Mai into the match. The crowd cheered as Stocking pushed Mai into the corner when she attempted to hit a Clothesline onto Stocking. Stocking stomped on Mai's chest before tagging Panty into the match, causing the crowd to cheer as Panty and Stocking Irish whipped Mai into the ropes and hit her with a Double Flapjack.

"Well Jim, it looks like Panty and Stocking are totally fine with it," Beth joked as Stocking and Panty put Mai in a seated position, allowing Stocking to hit a Running European Uppercut to the back of the head, putting Mai back on her back. The crowd cheered as Panty twerked for a moment before hitting a Standing Moonsault onto Mai before going for another pinfall, hooking both of her legs back.

Ref: 1…2

Panty picked Mai back up by her hair, but Mai poked her in the eye, causing the crowd to boo before punching Panty in the side of the head several times. However, when she attempted to hit another punch, Panty ducked out of the way, hit her with an Atomic Drop, and removed her robe, causing the crowd to cheer louder as Mai's white and red lingerie was revealed to the world. However, rather than cover herself up, Mai angrily kicked Panty in the gut, grabbed her by the hair, and slammed her face to the ground.

"Mai's been exposed as well, but she used her fury and humiliation about this situation to her advantage!" Okabe exclaimed as before Panty could try and get back to her feet, Mai started stomping on Panty's back before running the ropes and hitting a Jumping Knee Drop to the small of Panty's back. Mai pulled Panty up by her hair, pushed her into the corner, tagged Maki back into the match, and put her in a Back Suplex position. Mai hit Panty with an Atomic Drop that had enough force to send Panty's head bouncing off of the top turnbuckle, and Maki responded by hitting Panty with an Inverted Facelock Backbreaker.

"Maki and Mai showing Panty and Stocking how a real team operates in an actual wrestling match!" Cornette cheered as Maki mounted Panty and started hitting her in the side of the face with multiple forearms. Maki got off of Panty, and playfully kicked her a couple of times in the head, asking her if she was having fun yet. A couple of fans whistled at Maki, and she responded by flipping them off and hitting Panty with a couple of Leg Drops across the throat before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

"Maki doesn't seem to like some of the attention her temporary outfit has gotten her," Okabe noted as Maki picked Panty up, and hit her with a couple of Headbutts to the forehead before pushing her into the corner. Maki started choking Panty with her foot before tagging Mai back into the match. Mai ran the ropes and hit a Jumping Back Elbow to the side of Panty's face before throwing her out of the corner, allowing Maki to hit her with a Snap DDT. The crowd continued booing as Maki picked Mai up in a Suplex position, and hit her with a Gourdbuster, sending Mai landing on Panty's midsection.

"Of course, she doesn't! Maki is a woman who wants the fans to respect her wrestling ability, not her looks like Panty and Stocking do! And you can see Maki and Mai's ability with their impeccable tag teamwork!" Cornette ranted once again as Mai grabbed Panty by the arm, and started kicking her in the side of the head before hitting her with an Inverted Leg Drop Bulldog and going for another pin.

Ref: 1…2.

Mai ran her hand through her hair in annoyance before stomping on the back of Panty's head, yelling at Stocking, who just stuck her ass in Mai's face and slapped it. Mai rolled her eyes before picking Panty back up and hitting her with several European Uppercuts to the chest before dragging her into the corner. Mai starts punching Panty in the face and sides before tagging Maki into the match, causing the crowd to boo as Mai pushed her elbow into Panty's face, keeping her in place so that Maki could hit a Running Big Boot to the side of Panty's head. Mai then picked Panty up, putting her in a Front Facelock, and hitting her with a Tornado DDT, with the crowd continuing to boo as Mai teasingly played with the waistband of her panties.

"I have to say, Jim, you're favorite team is doing a good job of dominating Panty and keeping her away from Stocking," Beth admitted as Maki grabbed Panty and draped her head over the middle rope. The crowd continued booing as Maki choked Panty over the middle rope until the referee pulled her away, but while the referee was distracted, Mai hit a Running Basement Dropkick to the side of Panty's head, sending her staggering away from the ropes. Maki took advantage of this by grabbing Panty and sending her crashing down to the canvas with a Twisting Uranage.

"Maki showing off some power with that Twisting Uranage! I wouldn't be surprised if that was it!" Okabe exclaimed as Maki went for another pin, hooking both of her legs back.

Ref: 1…2.

The crowd cheered and laughed as Panty was able to get out of the tight pin by giving Maki a wedgie. Maki, furiously, started stomping on Panty's face and arm before mounting her and hitting her with multiple punches to the face.

"Maki doesn't take humiliation well, and Panty's learning that the hard way!" Cornette cheered as Maki picked Panty back up to her feet, and slapped her hard in the face. Maki grabbed both of Panty's arms, dragged her to the ropes, tagged Mai back into the match, and hit Panty with multiple stomps to the exposed chest. Maki then held Panty down, allowing Mai to springboard back into the ring with a Springboard Elbow Drop to Panty's chest. Maki and Mai both talked trash to Stocking before Mai grabbed both of Panty's arms, and put her in a Butterfly Lock.

"Mai looking to make Panty tap out here with the Butterfly Lock, putting the arms in a position that arms are usually not supposed to go!" Okabe exclaimed as Mai pushed her head in between Panty's shoulder blades while pulling her arms back. Panty yelled out in pain as Mai started yelling at her to give up, and that nobody humiliates the Zenin Sisters. After thirty seconds, Panty started to get back up to her feet, but before she could fight out of the hold, Mai let go of the hold and slammed Panty back down to the canvas by the back of her head before going for another pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

Mai got back to her feet and started kicking the bottom rope in frustration, but Maki came over to her, telling her to calm down, and just finish her off. Mai took a couple of deep breaths and nodded before climbing up the top rope. The crowd booed as Mai told the crowd that this match was over before diving off of the top rope, attempting to hit Panty with a Diving Leg Drop, but Panty was able to move out of the way. The crowd cheered as Panty staggered back to her feet, and after noticing that Mai was in a seated position, Panty hit her with a Seated Lariat before falling back to her knees.

"Panty is finally able to get some momentum back into this match, but can she get back to Stocking before Mai gets back to her feet!?" Beth asked as Panty started crawling to her corner, but Mai grabbed onto her foot. However, the crowd continued cheering as Panty turned around and stomped on the side of Mai's head until she let go of her. The crowd cheered loudly as Panty jumped into her corner, tagging Stocking back into the match. Stocking jumped up to the top rope and hit a Diving Double Foot Stomp onto Mai before knocking Maki off of the apron with a Jumping Punch to the side of the head.

"Stocking is back in, and she's full of fire and vinegar as she knocks Maki off of the apron!" Beth exclaimed as Stocking waited for Mai to get back onto her feet, and when she did, Stocking ran at Mai and hit her with two Clotheslines, a Swinging Neckbreaker, and then picked Mai up to hit her with a DDT. The crowd continued cheering as Stocking picked Mai back up, and hit her with several Knee Strikes to the top of the head before hitting her with a Scoop Slam. Stocking then jumped up to the middle rope and ground her ass against the middle and top turnbuckles before hitting Mai with a Diving Uppercut to the face before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

"Stocking getting the close two count there, but Mai isn't going to lay down that easily!" Cornette exclaimed in worry as Stocking picked Mai back up, attempting to lift her up for a Brainbuster, but Mai was able to keep herself on the canvas, hitting Stocking with a Jawbreaker. The crowd booed as Mai attempted to hit her with a DDT, but the crowd went back to cheering as Stocking punched Mai in the gut multiple times. However, Maki ran into the ring and hit Stocking in the back of the leg with a Chop Block, causing the crowd to boo as Maki and Mai started stomping on Stocking as the referee tried to get Maki out of the ring.

"See!? I knew that Maki and Mai had a handle on this match!" Cornette exclaimed in excitement. However, that excitement was short-lived as Panty came into the ring, grabbed Maki by the hair, and threw her into the corner. The crowd began cheering again as Stocking threw Mai into another corner diagonally to the one Maki was in. Stocking looked into both corners, smirked at the cheering crowd, and the crowd cheered louder as Stocking ran into both corners, and hit both Maki and Mai with the Stocking Sugar Rush (Multiple Running Corner Dropkicks).

"Stocking taking both Mai and Maki out with multiple Running Corner Dropkicks! You can definitely see why she calls that the Stocking Sugar Rush!" Beth exclaimed as Maki fell to the bottom turnbuckle. Panty walked back into the ring, and much to the crowd's delight gave Maki's cheek a playful slap before hiking up her panties. Panty then gave Maki the Panty Taste of Heaven (Stinkface) as Stocking grabbed a dazed Mai into a Bound by Love (Octopus Stretch with her opponent's head in her crotch). Maki, after shaking her head in disgust at the Stinkface, attempted to crawl over and try to save Mai, but Panty grabbed Maki by the leg and pulled her out of the ring.

"Mai's in the Bound by Love, and with Maki out of the ring, this could be the end!" Okabe exclaimed as Mai tried to drag herself to the ropes, but Stocking was able to roll Mai back to the center of the ring, stretching her arms further apart. Outside of the ring, Panty and Maki started brawling at ringside, and after Mai made another futile attempt to reach the ropes, she reluctantly tapped out.

*Bell Rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, the team of Panty and Stocking!" Mary Hughes announced as Stocking slapped Mai on the ass before getting back to her feet, raising her hand in the air as Panty knocked Maki down with a hard Back Elbow to the side of the head before rolling back into the ring from underneath the bottom rope. Panty raised Stocking's arm in victory as the crowd continued to cheer as Panty and Stocking did the Beautiful People taunt in the middle of the ring while Maki pushed the steel steps in frustration.

"Panty and Stocking getting another big win on Octane and—wait! Here come the BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions!" Beth exclaimed as BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions Ultear Milkovich and Tomoko Kuroki came running into the ring, and knocked Panty and Stocking down. The crowd booed as Ultear and Tomoko began punching and stomping on Panty and Stocking while Maki dragged Mai out of the ring, and quickly started dragging her away from the ringside area.

"The Sisterhood of Darkness' official tag team is sending a message to one of the possible contenders for the BTWF Women's Tag Team Championships!" Okabe exclaimed as Maki told Mai that Panty and Stocking just got lucky and that if it were a normal match, they would have won. While Maki and Mai were walking to the back, the crowd began cheering again as Kagura and Millianna came running to the ring. As Ultear and Tomoko continued beating down Panty and Stocking, Millianna and Kagura ran into the ring and began brawling with them.

"And while Maki and Mai are wisely leaving the scene, Millianna and Kagura are here to save the day!" Cornette exclaimed as Kagura and Millianna were able to throw Tomoko out of the ring. Ultear then attempted to hit a Time Warp (Discus Lariat) on a distracted Millianna, Kagura nailed Ultear in the side of the head with a Superkick. This allowed Millianna to throw her out of the ring before helping a downed Panty and Stocking back to their feet.

"Kagura and Millianna are trying to make their claim for that #1 contenders match coming next week, and winning a brawl against the BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions can do just that!" Beth exclaimed as Panty and Stocking thanked Millianna and Kagura for helping them out as Tomoko attempted to bum rush the ring, but Ultear grabbed Tomoko by her back and pulled her back, telling Millianna and Kagura that they were going to wish that they didn't do that. The camera then panned to the back as Maki and Mai looked at the scene before them, with Maki telling Mai that none of that matters. The camera then panned back to the General Manager's office, where the Hollywood Hooligan, Mandy DeRoyale, and Shoto Todoroki were standing next to the wheel.

"OK guys, ready to see what your semi-main event match is going to be?" Arthur asked as Todoroki simply nodded as Hooligan and Mandy laughed while nodding.

"Of course we're ready. No matter what, Hooligan is going to win and show this overhyped loser," Mandy said, turning to an uncaring Todoroki, and giving him the 'L' hand sign while Hooligan laughed. Arthur nodded before he spun the wheel, and a moment later, the wheel landed on 'Over the Top Rope Challenge'.

"Alright, it looks like your match coming up is going to be an Over the Top Rope Challenge," Arthur said, causing Mandy and Hooligan to laugh while nodding.

"It looks like I'm going to give the audience and the locker room a taste of what's going to happen at the Battle Riot!" Hooligan exclaimed as Todoroki nodded before putting an arm behind both Hooligan and Mandy.

"You're right, I'm going to show the crowd how quick you're going to get eliminated at the Battle Riot," Todoroki responded. Todoroki patted Hooligan on the shoulder playfully before walking off, causing Hooligan and Mandy to glare as they stomped out of the office, grumbling about the disrespect Todoroki had just shown them. The camera then panned to a dark room in the basement of the arena, with the area bathed in blood-red light. BTWF World Women's Champion Sherry Blendy was standing with the rest of the Sisterhood of Darkness sans the BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions Ultear Milkovich and Tomoko Kuroki (Himiko Toga, Flare Corona, Xochi Melendez, Federica 'the Sawyer' Cleaner, and Tina Belcher). Medusa Gorgon is next to her, looking over the blade of the pick-ax weapon that Sherry often carried.

"Tonight, Rei Ayanami tries to bring her light back into the BTWF as she tried to take her Key back," Sherry said while stroking the front plate of her BTWF Women's Championship. Medusa then looked up at the camera while twirling Sherry's pick-ax weapon.

"But there is one problem with her little plan; the mystery only benefits those who can see in the dark. Going into a match without knowing the stipulation is much like walking through nothing but pure darkness. And as someone who only knows the light, Rei will not stand a chance," Medusa explained, handing Sherry her pick-ax weapon as she stroked the BTWF Women's Championship with her pointer finger. Sherry and Medusa then turned around to look at the rest of the Sisterhood of Darkness, who looked on with anticipation.

"Now, Sherry will defeat Rei again, but Rei may have a trick up her sleeve to try and ensure the return of her championship. That is why you all will be surrounding the ring to ensure that Rei does not try anything," Medusa ordered. Flare, Himiko, Sawyer, and Tina nodded in the affirmative, but Xochi looked on with a raised eyebrow.

"Why all of us though? Sherry can take care of Rei herself, and even if Rei somehow got back up, surely Flare and Sawyer would be enough?" Xochi asked as Sherry and Medusa looked over at Xochi with raised eyebrows. Xochi didn't falter while Flare looked at her in worry, but Sherry responded by laughing.

"That is an interesting point Xochi. After all, you have to battle the woman trying to take my prize next week," Sherry explained as Xochi looked confused as Medusa nodded.

"Since when was I facing Akira?" Xochi asked, becoming annoyed when Sherry and Medusa ignored her and looked back at the rest of the Sisterhood.

"The rest of you need to get ready for tonight's main event," Medusa said, continuing to ignore Xochi's concern and annoyance. The rest of the Sisterhood nodded in understanding as the camera panned back to the stage. The crowd began booing as MNM's 'Paparazzi' theme song played as the red carpet came rolling out of the back with multiple paparazzi running down with their cameras ready. The boos from the crowd grew louder as the Hollywood Hooligan and Mandy came out of the back, posing for the cameras.

"The following contest is an Over the Top Rope Challenge, where the winner of this match is the person that sends their opponent over the top rope and onto the floor! Approaching the ring, accompanied to the ring by Mandy DeRoyale, now residing in Hollywood California, he is the Hollywood Hooligan!" Mary Hughes announced as the crowd continued booing and chanting that the Hooligan sucked. Hooligan told the fans at home via the cameras that he was going to give the fans a preview of the Battle Riot match.

"Hooligan, as usual, exuding confidence as he heads to the ring. But do you think this will be the preview for the Battle Riot that he thinks?" Okabe asked as Hooligan and Mandy walked to the ringside area. Mandy then walked up the steel steps, got onto the apron, grabbed the middle rope, and then jumped down on the apron with the splits. Hooligan applauded Mandy as he walked up the steel steps, and went through the opening that Mandy had made as the crowd continued booing.

"Who knows? That's what's so awesome about the Battle Riot, you never know who's going to win," Beth responded while not taking her eyes off of Mandy performing the splits. Mandy then crawled underneath the bottom rope while still in the splits, and kipped back up to her feet. Hooligan nodded at his valet before taking off his black fur coat and told the referee to take care of it before going into the corner, going over battle plans with Mandy.

"With the huge lineup of not only BTWF superstars, but wrestlers from other companies as well, the unpredictability of this match is off the charts," Cornette agreed as while Hooligan and Mandy were talking, the lights in the arena went down and turned shades of red and blue. The crowd cheered as 'Don't Stop' by Nothing More (feat. Jacoby Shaddix) played, and Todoroki came walking out of the back. Todoroki sat down on the entrance stage criss-cross, looking down at the floor before looking back up, causing the lights to turn back to normal before he got back up on his feet.

"And his opponent, from Musutafu Japan, he is Shoto Todoroki!" Mary Hughes announced, causing the crowd to continue cheering as Todoroki hi-fived several fans in the front row, not taking his eyes off of Hollywood Hooligan and Mandy. Mandy looked at Hooligan and then looked at Todoroki, nodding before rolling out of the ring, wishing Hooligan good luck. Todoroki then got to the ringside area, looked at the crowd, and then jumped up onto the apron, flipping over the top rope and into the middle of the ring, getting into a criss-cross seated position.

"Todoroki doesn't look too worried as he gets into the ring, although he's still staring a hole at Hooligan," Beth noted as the referee asked if both men were ready. Todoroki nodded as he jumped back up to his feet, and Hooligan nodded while still in the corner. The referee then told the timekeeper to ring the bell, and when he did, Hooligan got back to his feet and walked out of the corner. Hooligan and Todoroki looked as though they were going to lock up, but Hooligan poked Todoroki in the eye, causing the crowd to boo as Hooligan grabbed Todoroki by the back of his tights, and attempted to throw him over the top rope.

"Hooligan trying to end this one early thanks to a poke to the eye!" Cornette exclaimed as Todoroki went over the top rope, but was able to grab the top rope, and while Hooligan was posing for the crowd, Todoroki skinned the cat. The crowd cheered as Hooligan turned around, and Todoroki immediately responded by hitting her with multiple kicks to the chest and the sides. The crowd continued cheering as Todoroki grabbed Hooligan's arm, wrung it, and started kicking him in the chest before hitting Hooligan with an Arm Wringer Kick to the face.

"Todoroki fighting back against Hooligan with plenty of hard kicks to the chest and face!" Okabe exclaimed as Todoroki grabbed Hooligan, and hit him with a Falcon Arrow hard enough to put Hooligan in a seated position. Todoroki ran the ropes and hit a Penalty Kick to Hooligan's face. Mandy immediately jumped onto the apron and started yelling at Todoroki, who looked at her for a moment before picking Hooligan up in a Front Facelock and kneeing him in the face and chest several times before throwing him into the corner.

"Hooligan paying for that poke to the eye at the beginning of the match, and he may have had damage done to his own eyes!" Beth exclaimed as Todoroki moved Hooligan's arms, and hit him with multiple Knife-Edge Chops to the chest. Todoroki then attempted to throw Hooligan over the top rope, but Hooligan grabbed onto the top rope with all his might, preventing him from falling over the top rope. Hooligan hit several back elbows to the side of Todoroki's head, pushing him away with his foot before getting back into the ring.

"Hooligan able to prevent himself from falling out of the ring, hitting several back elbows to the side of Todoroki's head!" Cornette exclaimed as Hooligan got back to his feet, and ran at Todoroki with an attempted Jumping Knee to the back, but Todoroki was able to dodge the knee, and hit a Pele Kick to the back of Hooligan's head, sending him staggering into the ropes. The crowd cheered as Todoroki ran the ropes and attempted to send Hooligan over the top rope with a Clothesline, but Hooligan was able to counter by sending both of his feet up, causing Todoroki to run into Hooligan's feet face first.

"Hooligan once again preventing himself from falling out of the ring and onto the floor!" Beth exclaimed as Hooligan once again attempted to knock Todoroki down, but Todoroki was able to counter with multiple Japanese Arm Drags. The crowd continued cheering as Todoroki knocked Hooligan back down on the canvas with a Frankensteiner. The crowd's cheers quickly turned to jeers as Mandy jumped up onto the apron and started yelling at Todoroki, who turned around, rolled his eyes, and hit Hooligan in the side of the head with a Basement Dropkick.

"Todoroki's trying to maintain his focus on the match, trying to not let Mandy and her nails on a chalkboard voice get to him!" Cornette exclaimed as Mandy, realizing that her attempts at distractions weren't working, actually started going into the ring. The referee and Todoroki attempted to get Mandy out of the ring, but the crowd booed louder as Hooligan was able to stagger back to his feet, and hit a Jumping Wheel Kick to the back of Todoroki's head. Hooligan then started stomping on the back of Todoroki's back as Mandy rolled out of the ring.

"Mandy finally able to provide a successful distraction allowing Hooligan to take Todoroki down!" Okabe exclaimed as Hooligan ran the ropes and hit a couple of leg drops across the back of Todoroki's neck. The crowd continued booing as Hooligan flipped the crowd off, told the paparazzi to continue taking their pictures, and then hit Todoroki with a Standing Corkscrew Senton. Hooligan then stomped on Todoroki's gut multiple times, telling him that he was going to be the one winning the Battle Riot before hitting him with a Jumping Double Foot Stomp to the chest.

"Hooligan is telling Todoroki that he's going to win the Battle Riot, but doesn't it seem like he's telling himself that more than telling Todoroki?" Beth asked as Hooligan picked Todoroki up by the hair, and threw him over the top rope, but Todoroki was able to keep himself onto the apron. Hooligan grabbed Todoroki and started punching him in the face before attempting to Dropkick him out of the ring. However, Todoroki was able to dodge Hooligan's attempt at a Dropkick, but when he attempted to Springboard, Hooligan countered Todoroki's move mid-Springboard and hit him with a Frankensteiner counter.

"Hooligan with an impressive counter, sending Todoroki crashing down to the mat with a Frankensteiner!" Cornette exclaimed as Hooligan grabbed Todoroki by the hair, and started clubbing him in the back before kicking him right in the head. Hooligan looked at the booing crowd, telling them that they were just jealous of his star power before running the ropes and hitting Todoroki with a Running Corkscrew Shooting Star Press. Mandy applauded on the outside as Hooligan grabbed Todoroki by the ears, and slammed his head into the top turnbuckle multiple times.

"Hooligan grabbing Todoroki by the ears, almost as if he's trying to pull them off!" Beth exclaimed while wincing as Hooligan continued slamming Todoroki's face into the top turnbuckle. Hooligan backed away before the referee could say anything, and immediately started stomping on Todoroki's chest before attempting to throw him over the top rope. However, Todoroki immediately started pushing him away with his foot, and once the space was created, Todoroki attempted to hit Hooligan with a Running Shotgun Dropkick, but Hooligan was able to counter with a Jumping Double Foot Stomp.

"Wow! Look at the air that Hooligan got on that Double Foot Stomp, sending a mid-air Todoroki crashing back to the ground!" Okabe exclaimed in surprise as Hooligan smirked at the crowd, telling him that this was too easy. Mandy continued her applause from the outside as Hooligan picked Todoroki back up, and punched him several times in the face before attempting to hit him with a Superkick. However, Todoroki was able to dodge the kick, but Hooligan was able to recover fairly quickly and hit Todoroki with some Sweet Shin Music.

"A kick right to the right leg of Todoroki, which he will definitely feel later!" Okabe exclaimed as once Todoroki fell to one knee, Hooligan hit Todoroki in the side of the head with a Superkick. Hooligan began kicking Todoroki in the side of the head playfully before hitting him with several elbow drops to the chest. Todoroki attempted to roll away from the Hooligan, but Hooligan countered by hitting Todoroki in the back with a Jumping Senton. Hooligan then attempted to pick Todoroki up, but Todoroki was able to push Hooligan over the top rope and onto the apron.

"Oh! Todoroki almost pulled that one out of nowhere!" Cornette exclaimed as Todoroki attempted to kick Hooligan off of the apron, but Mandy helped out by keeping Hooligan's feet on the apron. This gave Hooligan enough time to headbutt Todoroki several times in the face, allowing Hooligan to push her away, and Springboard back into the ring with a Springboard Knee Strike to the side of the head. Todoroki fell to all fours as he tried to shake the cobwebs out of his head as Hooligan jumped up to the top rope, balancing himself on the top turnbuckle. After a moment, Hooligan attempted to hit a Phoenix Splash on Todoroki, but Todoroki was able to dodge the splash. Hooligan was able to land on his feet however and attempted to hit Todoroki with a Jumping Knee Strike, but Todoroki was able to roll out of the way and hit a Spinning Head Kick to Hooligan, sending him crumpling onto the floor.

"Todoroki taking Hooligan down with a vicious kick to the head! This could be the opportunity Todoroki needs to get back into this Over the Top Rope Challenge!" Beth exclaimed as Todoroki leaned into the corner, breathing in and out to get breath back in his lungs. Hooligan, meanwhile, staggered back to his feet while holding his jaw in pain before attempting to run into the corner with a Jumping Corner Clothesline, but Todoroki was able to counter by jumping out of the corner, sending Hooligan's head crashing into the top turnbuckle. Todoroki then grabbed Hooligan by the back and hit him with a High Angle German Suplex.

"Todoroki almost turning Hooligan inside out with that German Suplex!" Okabe exclaimed while wincing as Hooligan was picked back up by Todoroki, who continued kicking him in the sides and legs. When Hooligan fell onto both of his knees, Todoroki ran the ropes and hit a Running Knee Strike to the side of Hooligan's head with enough force to send Hooligan's head draped over the middle rope. Todoroki, much to the crowd's delight, ran the ropes and hit Hooligan in the back of the head with a Hesitation Dropkick that also sent Hooligan's throat crashing into the ropes.

"Hooligan getting his throat sent right into the ropes, which are made of hard cables wrapped in tape, and is not something to scoff at!" Cornette exclaimed as Todoroki kicked Hooligan away, sending him away from the ropes before Springboarding off of the top rope, and hitting a downed Hooligan with a Springboard Moonsault. Todoroki then grabbed Hooligan by the hair and attempted to throw him over the top rope, but Mandy was able to catch Hooligan's feet just in time, allowing him to sit on the apron. Todoroki saw this, ran the ropes, and hit another Running Dropkick to Hooligan's back, but Mandy was once again able to prevent him from falling.

"Mandy is proving her worth here as a valet, preventing Hooligan from falling out of the ring and onto the floor!" Okabe exclaimed as Todoroki, frustrated with this, grabbed Hooligan by the arm and attempted to pull him back into the ring. However, Hooligan responded with multiple back elbows to the side of the head before sending his throat over the top rope with a Hotshot before pushing him away. Hooligan jumped up to the top rope, shaking his head to try and get rid of the head pain, but Todoroki was able to run into the ropes, sending Hooligan's groin crashing onto the top turnbuckle.

"And there go the family jewels of the Hooligan! Hopefully, he doesn't have any German snuff films in his future!" Cornette quipped as Todoroki climbed up to the middle rope, and hit him with several Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before attempting to hit him with a Superplex. However, Hooligan started hitting Todoroki in the side of the head with multiple forearms to the side of the head, to which Todoroki responded to with a couple of headbutts to the chest. Todoroki once again attempted to perform the Superplex, but Hooligan once again poked Todoroki in the eye, before hitting him with more punches to the side of the head.

"It's a brawl on the top turnbuckle, but Hooligan seems to be winning that brawl!" Beth exclaimed as Hooligan gave Todoroki several more headbutts to the side of the head before throwing him off of the top rope, sending him bouncing off of the apron and finally onto the floor, causing the crowd to boo as Mandy jumped up and down with joy while clapping.

*Bell Rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner of the Over the Top Rope Challenge, the Hollywood Hooligan!" Mary Hughes announced as the crowd continued to boo as Mandy rolled into the ring while Hooligan was still sitting on the top turnbuckle, smirking at the booing crowd with his tongue out of his mouth. Mandy continued applauding Hooligan as he jumped off of the top rope, and gave Mandy a thankful hug, causing the crowd to boo even louder as Todoroki finally started coming to.

"Thanks to some timely interference from Mandy, Hooligan was able to overcome Todoroki and show that he may be right about the Battle Riot," Okabe explained as Todoroki grabbed the top of the ring apron, and pulled himself back to his feet while rubbing the top of his head. Hooligan and Mandy started laughing at Todoroki as he walked off, looking disappointed in himself while several fans in the front row patted him on the back in sympathy.

"Todoroki may have lost this match tonight but the crowd still respects him as he makes his way to the back!" Beth exclaimed as Hooligan told several of the paparazzi still at ringside to take some pictures of Todoroki crying. But before they do, Hooligan told a couple of the paparazzi to come into the ring and take some victory pictures of Hooligan and Mandy, and the crowd boo louder as Hooligan and Mandy pose for pictures while telling the fans this is exactly how the Battle Riot PPV is going to end.

"Hooligan's head has somehow gotten bigger because of this victory, and I am now genuinely hoping that someone knocks this guy down a peg at the PPV!" Cornette exclaimed as the camera panned to the backstage area while Todoroki looked back at the ring with a glare, telling the camera that Hooligan will get his soon. The camera panned to the backstage interview area, where Valentino Calavera, Baam, Frida Suarez, and Rachel Light were standing next to Todd Grisham, who hi-fived Valentino.

"Guys, you've been without your BTWF World Tag Team Championships for two weeks, and I want to know how you all are feeling," Todd said as Valentino walked in front of the rest of the group before moving the microphone closer to his mouth.

"We're feeling a lot better than we were a couple of weeks ago, and that's because of what we just learned from Arthur," Valentino explained. Todd looked interested but before he could ask, Rachel took the microphone away and told Valentino to get back with Frida and Baam.

"Valentino's right, and that's because I was able to get our rematch at the BTWF Legend's Night event. That's right, at a night where the BTWF honors the champions and legends of the past will also be the place where the Chaos Conspiracy lose their championships before the month is up," Rachel explained as Rachel pushed the microphone back into Todd's chest, but Charlie Bonifer and Joe Wolf came walking up to them with smirks on their faces and the BTWF World Tag Team Championships over their shoulders.

"Oh would you look at that, Bonifer? It looks like Rachel has another pair of balls to add to her collection," Joe joked, patting Valentino on the shoulder as Bonifer was laughing.

"Listen, you two losers had your moment in the sun, but you have to realize that the Chaos Conspiracy are the future of the BTWF. You two are nothing but a footnote in what's going to be our legendary title reign," Joe continued explaining as Baam walked up to Joe, looking as though he was going to say something.

"Oh, are you going to stay something, Mutey?" Joe mockingly asked before slapping Baam in the side of the face. Joe and Bonifer laughed at Baam, but Baam surprisingly tackled Joe to the ground and started brawling with him. Valentino joined in on the brawl by trading punches with Bonifer as security came running to the interview area along with Manabo and Owen, who attempted to pull them away from each other as the camera panned to a commercial break.

*Commercial Break*

*Commercial Over*

The camera panned back to the General Manager's office, where Tanya and Arthur were standing with Rei Ayanami and the Sisterhood of Darkness' representative, Xochi Melendez, who still looked annoyed at her conversation with Sherry and Medusa.

"Alright ladies, are you ready for the main event stipulation for tonight?" Tanya asked. Rei and Xochi both nodded as Tanya spun the wheel. After a moment of the wheel spinning, the wheel stopped at 'Steel Cage match'. Rei looked surprised while Xochi smirked as she looked over at Rei, but before she could say anything, Akira Hayami came walking into the office and turned Xochi around to face her.

"Listen Xochi, you're great and all, but I don't want you to think that you're going to have an easy time next week. I'm going into the Battle Riot and I'm taking the title from your precious little leader," Akira explained before turning to Rei, who simply glared at her.

"And if you find a way to win, I'll beat you like I should've late last year," Akira said to Rei before turning her attention back to Xochi.

"And don't worry about the Sisterhood, because if they decide to stick their nose into this match, I could practice my baseball skills with their heads," Akira said, revealing a black baseball bat before pointing it at Xochi's chest. Xochi swiped the bat away and walked away while mumbling angrily in Spanish as Rei looked at Akira with some tension. The camera then panned to another area backstage, where BTWF United States Champion Shinji Ikari was in the gym, pulling himself up on the pull-up bar. While he was exercising, Shinji noticed Death the Kid walking up to him, with Kid eyeing the BTWF United States Championship sitting on the chair next to him.

"Hello Shinji, preparing for our title match I see," Kid greeted, continuing to look at the BTWF United States Championship. Shinji noticed this, sighed with a smile on his face, and jumped down from the pull-up bar in front of Kid.

"Of course, Kid. I know you think I'm not taking you seriously, but I take everybody I face seriously, especially when it comes to the BTWF United States Championship," Shinji responded as he picks the United States Championship off of his chair, but Kid continued looking at the championship.

"I know that you didn't mean to insult me, but I know that there are others that don't think I'm a serious threat to your championship. But come next week, I'm walking into the Battle Riot as the BTWF United States Championship and walking out of the Battle Riot with not only the BTWF United States Championship, but a main event title match at Starshow," Kid responded. Shinji once again shook his head with a smile on his face before putting the United States Championship over his shoulder.

"Listen, you're a young guy in wrestling and I get the confidence, but let me tell you from experience; confidence only gets you so far. I felt the same way the first time I faced Gourry for the BTWF Championship all those years ago. That helped me learn that I should keep my mind open and continue improving nonstop. You shouldn't be planning for the future before you get past the present," Shinji advised. Kid nodded before outstretching his hand, asking for a handshake, which Shinji accepted.

"If I don't believe with all my heart that I'm going to win the BTWF United States Championship, then what's the point of going after it. See you next week Shinji, and don't forget to keep that title warm for me," Kid explained before letting go of Shinji, and leaving the gym. Shinji nodded with a satisfied smirk on his face, putting the BTWF United States title back on the chair, and continued working out on the pull-up bar. The camera then panned to another gym, this one looking more slapdash, where Song Ryang-Ha, Chateau Dankworth, Yor Briar, and Loid Forger were using punching bags to work on their strikes, and lifting weights. While they were working out, Azuma walked in front of the camera with a smile on his face while in a hooded tracksuit.

"Hello everyone, and welcome to the Fight Club. Now, what is the Fight Club? The Fight Club is a place where athletes like the four behind me hone their skills. The Fight Club is for those who are tough not only physically, but mentally as well," Azuma explained, presenting the four behind him as they continued to train before continuing to talk to the camera.

"BTWF Evolve will be the perfect place for myself and the rest of Fight Club, and once we get to BTWF Evolve, rest assured that we will dominate across all divisions all over the brand," Azuma explained before snapping his fingers, causing his four stablemates to stop what they were doing and walk over to Azuma.

"Fight Club stands for toughness, skill, and respect, and the BTWF fans will learn to respect the Fight Club," Azuma said before the camera panned away from the infomercial and back to the stage. The crowd cheered as the lights in the arena turned a light blue, and 'Shatter Me' by Lindsey Sterling (feat. Lzzy Hale) played. Rei Ayanami came out of the back, wearing her usual light blue robe, her glaring eyes focusing on the ring surrounded by the steel cage. The crowd continued cheering as the pyro went off behind Rei, but Rei did not do her usual outstretched arms posed, and simply walked away from the pyro.

"The following contest is a Steel Cage match, where victory can be achieved by pinfall, submission, or by escaping the cage through the door or over the roof! And it is for the BTWF World Women's Championship! Introducing first the challenger, from Tokyo Japan, she is the 'Shining Ace' Rei Ayanami!" Mary Hughes announced. Rei continued making her way to the ring but stopped while raising her eyebrow when she heard the crowd's cheers turn into a louder mixed reaction. When she turned around, Rei noticed that Akira Hayami was following her with a black baseball bat in her hands.

"Rei is dead set on getting her BTWF Women's Championship back, and it looks like Akira's here to provide some backup against the Sisterhood," Beth noted as Rei asked Akira what she was doing out here. Akira told Rei that she was only here to stop the Sisterhood from interfering in the match, and told Rei that she better pull her weight in the match as well. Rei nodded at Akira, though annoyed at Akira's attitude, before continuing her walk to the ring, once again taking a look at the steel cage surrounding the ring.

"The steel cage may surround the ring, but who knows what the Sisterhood of Darkness would do to help their leader?" Okabe asked as Rei took off her robe, and gave it to the referee on the outside before walking into the ring. Rei closed the door behind her and walked to the center of the ring, looking over the steel cage while inside the ring as Akira banged on the side of the cage door with her baseball bat, telling Rei to focus on the mission of getting her belt back. Rei rolled her eyes as the lights in the arena turned off, causing the crowd to boo as the lights then turned back on, but a blood-red color as 'Knives' by Bullet for My Valentine played.

"Rei may want to follow Akira's advice, as here comes the BTWF World Women's Champion and the rest of the Sisterhood!" Cornette exclaimed as flames started rising off from the top of the stage. The flames somewhat subsided, revealing Sherry Blendy, Medusa Gorgon, and the rest of the Sisterhood of Darkness, sans the BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions (Ultear Milkovich and Tomoko Kuroki), and Xochi Melendez. Sherry looked at the members of the Sisterhood who were there (Flare Corona, Frederica Sawyer, Himiko Toga, and Tina Belcher), nodded at them, and began her walk to the ring along with Medusa.

"And her opponent, representing and accompanied to the ring by the Sisterhood of Darkness, now residing on Galuna Island, she is the BTWF World Women's Champion, Sherry Blendy!" Mary Hughes announced. The crowd continued booing as Sherry hugged the BTWF World Women's Championship belt close to her chest, casting glares at both Rei and Akira. Medusa ran her hand through Sherry's pink hair and told her to calm down and that she shouldn't be worried about the match.

"Sherry clutching her BTWF World Women's Championship belt like a child, showing the concern she has going against the woman she defeated for the championship," Beth noted as Sherry turned her glares to the booing crowd as she told the Sisterhood to surround the cage, which they did. Akira refused to move away from the door, but Frederica Sawyer stayed close by with only the steel steps separating her and Akira. Sherry gave one last glare to Akira before walking up the steel steps and into the ring, giving the championship to Medusa before closing the cage door.

"Well nervous or not, Sherry's at home in an environment like the steel cage, as she's surrounded by a weapon," Okabe explained as Sherry and Rei met each other at the center of the ring. The referee told the timekeeper to ring the bell after noting that the two women were ready for the match. Once the bell rang, Sherry and Rei immediately started exchanging punches in the middle of the ring, with the crowd booing as Sherry won this mini-brawl with a Knife-Edge Uppercut to Rei's throat. Sherry put Rei in a Front Facelock and started clubbing her in the back before throwing her into the corner. However, the crowd cheered as Rei was able to respond to Sherry running into the corner, and hitting her with a kick to the gut.

"It's surprising to see Rei starting this match out by brawling. Usually, Rei would start by tying her opponent up in knots with her technical know-how," Cornette explained as Rei grabbed Sherry by the hair and started hitting her with multiple punches to the side of her face. The crowd continued cheering as Rei continued punching Sherry until she fell onto her knees, and when she did, Rei started clubbing Sherry in the back until she fell onto her chest. Rei then mounted Sherry's back and started hitting her with multiple forearms before grinding her face into the mat.

"Rei's upset about losing the BTWF World Women's Championship and upset about being a victim of the Sisterhood's near-constant mind games. Of course she'd be furious, even someone like Rei who prefers to keep their emotions away from the ring!" Okabe exclaimed as Rei picked Sherry up by the hair, and threw her into the corner. The crowd continued cheering as Rei started hitting multiple forearms to the head and Knife-Edge Chops to the chest of Sherry, hitting her until she fell to the bottom turnbuckle in a seated position.

"Well whatever the reason for Rei's fury, it's working, as she has Sherry vulnerable in the corner!" Beth exclaimed as Rei started stomping on Sherry's gut multiple times before choking her with her boot. The crowd continued cheering and chanting for Rei as she ran the ropes and hit a Hesitation Dropkick onto Sherry, sending her boots crashing into the face before dragging her to the center of the ring and pinning her.

Ref: 1…2

"Rei getting a close two count there, but Sherry isn't going to let go of what she calls her Key to the Kingdom that easily," Okabe explained as Rei grabbed Sherry by the hair, and hit her with several more punches to the face before throwing her back into the corner. The crowd continued cheering as Rei hit a Running Knee Strike into the corner before throwing her out of the corner with a Running Bulldog. Akira looked impressed at the aggressiveness that Rei was showing while the Sisterhood were trying to cheer Sherry on, but Rei hit a Jumping Knee Drop onto the top of Sherry's head.

"Even Akira looks kind of surprised that Rei is so aggressive in this match, as Sherry hasn't been able to get a hit in this match since the beginning!" Beth exclaimed as Rei picked Sherry up, and threw her into the steel cage face first, causing the crowd to cheer louder. Rei wasn't done, however, as she threw Sherry face first into another side of the cage wall before taking her down with a Russian Legsweep and rolling her up into a pin.

Ref: 1…2.

"Sherry got the first taste of the steel cage there, but she was still able to kick out!" Cornette exclaimed as Rei stomped on Sherry's gut a couple of times before going over to the ropes. Rei jumped up onto the middle rope before jumping higher up onto the top rope, attempting to hit Sherry with a Moonsault. However, the crowd booed as Sherry was able to lift his knees up, sending Rei's chest crashing into her knees, allowing Sherry to get back up to her feet. When Rei attempted to knock Sherry back down with a Clothesline, Sherry kicked Rei in the gut with a back kick before knocking her on all fours with an Enziguri.

"Sherry finally getting some momentum her way with a couple of hard kicks to the chest and head!" Okabe exclaimed as Sherry grabbed Rei, and practically lawn-darted her into the steel cage, sending the top of her head crashing into the cage. Sherry then left Rei's chest draped over the middle rope before climbing onto the second rope, causing the crowd to boo as Sherry locked Rei in an Octopus Stretch while she was trapped in the ropes. The crowd continued booing as Sherry started pulling Rei's right arm over the top rope, causing Rei to start yelling out in pain but was able to prevent herself from tapping out.

"Rei's trapped in the ropes, but isn't giving up! She wants that BTWF World Women's Championship back and is willing to go through hell and back to get the title back around her waist!" Beth exclaimed as Sherry let go of Rei before repositioning her to where Rei was put in a position where her back was facing the steel cage wall and the ropes were in front of her chest. Sherry slapped herself several times in the face, glared at Rei, and let out a primal scream before running the ropes and hitting Rei with a Running Shoulder Thrust to the chest of Rei, sending her back crashing into the steel cage.

"Sherry now using the cage to her advantage, sending Rei's back smacking against the cage wall!" Cornette exclaimed as Sherry grabbed Rei's blue hair, and started hitting her with multiple forearms to the face before running the ropes again and hitting her with another Running Shoulder Thrust to the chest, once again sending her back into the steel cage. Sherry then ran the ropes once again, hit a final Running Shoulder Thrust into Rei's chest, and then ran the ropes again to hit a Running Forearm to the side of the head, sending her falling out of the ropes and onto the floor. Sherry then turned Rei on her back and went for the pinfall, hooking both of her legs back.

Ref: 1…2.

"You can see the welts starting to form on Rei's back from being rammed into the cage repeatedly! And from the look on Sherry's face, she can see them too!" Beth noted as Sherry ran her finger over the welts forming on Rei's back, and started scratching them with her nails, causing the crowd to boo as Rei almost jumped up and held her stinging back with her hands. Sherry stuck her tongue out with a smirk as she leaned down and scratched her back again, causing her welts to start bleeding. Himiko on the outside licked her lips in excitement as Sherry grabbed Rei's hair, and began biting her ear.

"Oh good, Lord! Sherry's scratching and biting Rei all over like an animal!" Cornette exclaimed in shock as Sherry stopped biting Rei's ear and began biting Rei's nose, causing her to start screaming in pain as she punched Sherry in the head in an attempt to get her to stop. Sherry, rather than getting dazed by the punches, let go of Rei's nose, started laughing at her, and began headbutting Rei in the face multiple times, sending her staggering out of the corner with blood beginning to pour out of her nose. Akira pounded on the cage door, telling Rei to get up and get back into this match, but Sherry responded by choking Rei with her foot, pushing her face into the cage wall by pushing the back of her neck.

"Rei's bleeding all over, and look at Himiko over there!" Beth exclaimed in disgust as Himiko, who was standing on the other side of the cage in front of Rei, started licking the blood off of her face. The crowd booed and chanted that Himiko was a sick fuck before Sherry picked Rei back up by her hair, and hit her with a Reverse DDT before going for another pinfall, once again hooking both of her legs back.

Ref: 1…2.

Sherry, after Rei kicked out, started hitting multiple forearms to Rei's already bleeding nose. The crowd booed as Sherry kicked Rei in the head multiple times while screaming at the crowd and Rei that nobody was going to take the Key to the Kingdom away from her. Sherry then started stomping on Rei's chest before choking her with her foot once again, pressing her foot on Rei's neck as she was choking.

"Rei is still fighting in this match, but Sherry is still in control, not wanting to let go of what she calls her 'Key to the Kingdom'," Beth explained as Sherry picked Rei up again, and dragged her over to the steel cage, where she rubbed her face in the steel, causing more blood to drip from Rei's face. While Himiko was catching the drops of blood falling with her tongue, Sherry put Rei on the top rope and hit her with an Inverted Headlock Backbreaker from the top rope before throwing her into the corner. Sherry smirked at the booing crowd before she ran the ropes and hit Rei with a Running Corner Clothesline, but before Rei could fall, Sherry threw her out of the corner with an Exploder Suplex.

"You'd be forgiven for not suspecting Sherry to have the strength to throw another grown woman over her head given how she looks and acts, but Sherry is a woman just full of surprises," Okabe explained as Sherry crawled over to Rei, licking her lips in anticipation as she jumped back to her feet and hit Rei with a couple of Falling Headbutts to the side of the head. Sherry looked up at her forehead and noticed that Rei's blood had gotten there, which Sherry responded to by running her hand through the blood and licking the blood off of it. Akira looked on in disgust as Sherry continued to lick her fingers clean of Rei's blood before running the ropes, hitting Rei with a Running Stomp to the top of the head, and going for another pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

"Sherry has to be getting more frustrated as this match goes on because despite bleeding from multiple places and in varying quantities, Rei is still kicking out of Sherry's offense," Okabe explained as Sherry mounted Rei, fish hooked her mouth and screamed that she should just stay down. Medusa applauded as Sherry grabbed both of Rei's arms, and put them in front of her mouth and nose, putting Rei in a Straight Jacket submission hold. The crowd booed as Sherry started kneeing Rei in the back while stretching her out with the Straight Jacket submission hold.

"Sherry using Rei's own arms to cover her mouth and nose with this submission hold, and with her bleeding nose, Rei's losing more oxygen than one normally would," Okabe continued explaining as Rei looked as though she was losing consciousness. However, the crowd cheered as Rei began attempting to stand up with Sherry still having the Straight Jacket submission locked in. The crowd cheered as Rei hit Sherry in the face with multiple headbutts, but Sherry responded by biting Rei's ear again before attempting to hit her with a Straight Jacket Neckbreaker. However, the crowd cheered as Rei was able to counter Sherry's attempt at a Straight Jacket Neckbreaker with a Backslide pin.

Ref: 1…2.

"Rei almost got the shock pin there, but Sherry kicks out!" Beth exclaimed as Sherry nearly pulled her hair out in frustration at losing the title, so she let out another primal scream, and attempted to hit Rei with a Big Boot when she staggers back to her feet, but Rei was able to dodge, sending Sherry's boot over the top rope. The crowd cheered as Rei, after taking a couple of deep breaths, grabbed Sherry by the hair and started slamming her face into the steel cage multiple times, finally causing Sherry to bleed from the top of her head. The crowd continued cheering as Rei turned Sherry around, and started slamming the back of her head into the steel cage.

"Rei using the cage to finally get back into this match, and now it's Sherry's turn to wear a crimson mask!" Okabe exclaimed as Rei pulled Sherry away from the ropes, ran the ropes, and hit Sherry with multiple Clotheslines. Sherry was able to dodge one of those Clotheslines, but Rei was able to counter this with a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker. The crowd continued cheering as while Sherry was holding her back in a seated position, Rei ran the ropes, springboarded off of the middle rope, and hit Sherry with a Springboard Crossbody before going for a pinfall, hooking both of Rei's legs back.

Ref: 1…2..

"Sherry kicking out of that Springboard Crossbody, but Rei's too full of adrenaline for that to let that get to her!" Beth exclaimed as Rei grabbed Sherry, picked her up, and threw her into the corner. The crowd cheered as Rei hit multiple forearms to the side of Sherry's head before putting her on the top turnbuckle. Rei started climbing up to the top turnbuckle, but Sherry, while grabbing the sides of the cage, hit a couple of headbutts to Rei's chest, causing her to stagger. Sherry took advantage of this by pushing Rei off of the top rope, sending her landing back on the canvas feet first, and Sherry attempted to take her down with a Diving Clothesline, but the crowd exploded into cheers as Rei was able to counter this into a Northern Lights Suplex before bridging into another pin.

Ref: 1…2..

"What an amazing counter by Rei! It may not have gotten the win, but I don't think I've ever seen a counter like that!" Cornette exclaimed as Rei looked annoyed as she started climbing up to the top rope. Rei shook her head, trying to wipe some of her blood away from her face before diving off of the top rope for the Light From Above (Frog Splash). However, Sherry was able to counter by barely raising her right foot up, sending Rei's face crashing into Sherry's foot. The crowd booed as Sherry pulled herself up while also wiping the blood away from her eyes before grabbing Rei and attempting to throw her into the steel cage. However, the crowd exploded as Rei blocked the attempted throw into the cage, hit several back elbows to the side of Sherry's head, and used the nearby ropes to hit her with a Tornado DDT.

"Rei once again sending Sherry's head crashing down to the ground with that Tornado DDT!" Okabe exclaimed as outside of the cage, Frederica Sawyer grabbed Akira by the hair and threw her into the steel steps. The crowd booed as she stomped and beat down Akira as the referee tried to stop her. However, Tina turned the referee around and knocked him down with a punch to the face before stealing the key to the steel cage from the referee's pocket. The crowd continued booing as Tina unlocked the door to the steel cage as Rei attempted to lock Rei in the Reverse Full Nelson.

"The Sisterhood have taken out the referee and Akira, and now they have the key to the steel cage!" Beth exclaimed as Himiko and Flare came running into the ring, and started clubbing and stomping on Rei. The crowd continued booing as Himiko held Rei's hands back, allowing Flare to hit Rei with multiple punches to the side of the head before throwing her into the corner. Flare and Himiko started stomping and punching Rei in the corner, but the crowd cheered as Rei began fighting back with punches on her own. Rei grabbed Flare by the hair and threw her face first into the steel cage before doing the same thing with Toga.

"Rei trying to fight off the rest of the Sisterhood as Sherry recovers in the corner!" Cornette exclaimed as Medusa handed Sherry her pick-ax weapon through one of the openings in the steel cage. Rei continued fighting off Flare and Himiko before Frederica came into the ring and hit a Running Knee Strike to the back of Rei's head. Meanwhile, outside of the ring, Tina picked Akira up and attempted to hit her with the Last Kiss (Swinging Reverse STO), but Akira countered this by throwing Tina into the steel cage.

"Akira's fighting back against the Sisterhood as well, and is now running into the cage to try and help Rei!" Beth exclaimed as Akira grabbed Frederica, and threw her into the steel cage before attempting to hit her with the Spotlighter (F-5). However, the crowd booed as Sherry got back to her feet, and hit Akira right in the face with her pick-ax weapon, sending her falling down to the mat. Sherry then walked over to Rei and attempted to hit her with the pick-ax, but the crowd cheered as Rei rolled her up with a Small Package.

Ref: 1…2..

"Sherry once again able to kick out of a surprise pin from Rei, and say what you want about her, but that is some very impressive ring awareness!" Okabe exclaimed as Rei attempted once again to put her in the Reverse Full Nelson again, but Sherry was able to free one of her arms and hit Rei in the side of the head with her pick-ax weapon. Sherry then gave the booing crowd a cut-throat taunt before picking a now unconscious Rei up and hitting her with the Darkness Falls (Killswitch) before going for the pinfall.

*Bell Rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, and still the BTWF World Women's Champion, Sherry Blendy!" Mary Hughes announced. The crowd booed loudly as a bleeding Sherry fell onto her ass, sitting down criss-cross applesauce as Medusa took the BTWF World Women's Championship from the ringside attendant and walked over to the ring, smirking at her charge's victory. As Medusa walked into the cage, she looked down at the beaten bodies of Rei and Akira, as she handed Sherry her belt back, and Sherry went back to hugging the belt close to her chest.

"Sherry, thanks to the Sisterhood of Darkness, retains the BTWF World Women's Championship. Sherry just showing how much she and Medusa mean to their Sisterhood members for them to break into the cage to save Sherry!" Cornette exclaimed as Medusa looks at Flare, Himiko, and Frederica getting back to their feet and tells them to pick Akira and Rei up while producing handcuffs from her cloak. Tina looked on and rolled into the ring to join the Sisterhood as Medusa instructed them to handcuff Akira and Rei to the ropes, causing the crowd to boo louder as she closed the cage door.

"Sherry may have retained the championships, but it looks like she and the Sisterhood have some more punishment planned for Akira and Rei!" Beth exclaimed as Himiko and Flare handcuffed Rei to the ropes, while Akira gets handcuffed by Frederica and Tina, but the crowd began cheering again as Millianna and Kagura Mikazuchi ran down to the ring. Kagura and Millianna rolled into the ring and knocked Tina and Flare down before brawling with Himiko and Frederica as Medusa helped Sherry back to her feet.

"Thankfully, Millianna and Kagura are here to try and help against the Sisterhood, who have the BTWF Women's Tag Team Championships that they really want!" Okabe exclaimed as Kagura nailed Himiko with a Superkick and Millianna and Frederica continued exchanging punches and forearms. However, the crowd continued booing as the BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions Ultear Milkovich and Tomoko Kuroki came running down to the ring, and nailed both Millianna and Kagura with the BTWF Women's Tag Team titles to the back of their head.

"And speaking of the BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions, Ultear and Tomoko take Millianna and Kagura down!" Cornette exclaimed as Medusa produced two more pairs of handcuffs and gave them to Sherry, allowing her to handcuff Kagura and Millianna onto the ropes. Rei and Akira started coming to, resulting in them immediately trying to pull themselves away from the handcuffs, but Sherry simply smirked at them before hitting Rei in the side of the head with her pick-ax weapon a couple of times. Akira started yelling at Sherry that she was a dead woman, and Sherry simply responded by laughing before hitting her in the face a couple of times with her pick-ax.

"And Sherry with her pick-ax weapon is able to knock Rei and Akira down completely, and Rei and Akira couldn't even defend themselves!" Beth exclaimed in disgust as Himiko immediately started running over to Akira, licking the blood that was pouring off of the side of her face before Sherry directed her attention to Kagura and Millianna, hitting them in the side of the head with multiple shots with her pick-ax weapon. Sherry then backed away, and invited Ultear and Tomoko to beat them down, which they accepted with gusto as Ultear nailed a trapped Kagura in the side of the head with a Big Boot before security finally started coming down to try and break the cage. The camera then faded to black as Sherry put the BTWF World Women's Championship in her mouth, and raised her bloody pick-ax in the air as the lights in the arena started to turn blood red.
