BTWF Friday Night Octane (February Week 1)

The camera panned to the garage, as a Black Mercedes Benz came driving into the arena. When the car was parked, Kaworu Nagisa and Senku Ishigami came out of the car, and once Senku got both his and Kaworu's bags, Todd Grisham came walking up to them.

"Kaworu, Senku, I understand you just got here, but I have to ask what you have planned next after losing your BTWF Championship rematch?" Todd asked. Kaworu simply chuckled at Todd's question, but Senku wasn't as happy, walking right up to Todd and poking him right in the chest.

"Look, Todd, we're not in the mood right now, and we're in for a busy night, so why don't-!?" Senku asked in an annoyed manner as Kaworu interrupted him by patting him on the shoulder. Senku sighed before looking at Kaworu and nodding as Kaworu turned to face Todd, straightened out his suit, and responded.

"Mr. Grisham, I've had several days to think of my next move. I may be upset at not leaving Legends Night with the BTWF Championship, but this does not mean my quest for gold is over," Kaworu explained, leaving Todd confused as he raised his eyebrow and took his microphone back to place it under his mouth.

"So you and Senku are saying that you have a new target?" Todd asked as Kaworu kept a smile on his face while he and Senku looked at each other and nodded before he responded.

"Of course, and that will be revealed at the right time. But for tonight, I will be finishing what Senku started by defeating Eren Jeager tonight. Mr. Jeager may have advanced in the BTWF Evolve Championship tournament, but he's never faced a former BTWF Champion like myself," Kaworu explained before he walked away from his car and Todd. When Todd tried to get some more information out of Kaworu, Senku grabbed the microphone and pushed it into Todd's chest before following Kaworu out of the garage. The camera then panned to the stage, with 'Are You Ready' by Disturbed playing as pyro going off all around the stage and TitanTron before the camera panned to the announce team.

"Welcome to another exciting episode of BTWF Octane ladies and gentlemen! From Silver Spring Maryland, I'm Jim Cornette along with my broadcast partners, Beth Vanderwood and Rintaro Okabe! And we're still on the Road to Starshow while heading to our next stop, Last Gasp!" Cornette exclaimed as Beth and Okabe nodded at the camera and at Cornette with Beth waving at the camera.

"That's right Jim, and we're starting off tonight with a qualifying match for one of the main matches at Last Gasp; an Elimination Chamber match to determine the #1 contender for the BTWF Championship!" Beth exclaimed as MNM's 'Paparazzi' theme song played, causing the crowd to boo as the red carpet gets rolled out while the paparazzi come out with cameras. After a moment, the Hollywood Hooligan came out of the back with Mandy DeRoyale following him. Hooligan looked on at the crowd, adjusted his sunglasses, and smirked at the crowd before walking down the red carpet and to the ring.

"And speaking of that match, we're about to find out who the first man in that match is going to be right now!" Okabe exclaimed as Hooligan and Mandy continued walking to the ring, with the crowd booing them as Mandy told them to talk to the hand. Hooligan then looked at the camera and told the fans at home that he was in an amazing mood tonight as he went to the ringside area, twirled Mandy in his arms, and moved out of the way, letting Mandy get onto the apron, jump down for the splits while holding the middle rope down, allowing Hooligan to go through the opening that Mandy created in the middle rope.

"And here comes one of the best entrances in the BTWF! The only reason I ever look forward to Hooligan coming out!" Beth exclaimed, keeping her eyes on Mandy as she slid into the ring from underneath the bottom rope while Hooligan took his back fur coat off, and threw it at the ringside attendant, telling him to take care of it like he would a child. The crowd continued booing as Hooligan told Mary Hughes to give him the microphone, which she obliged to before grabbing the microphone and going into the center of the ring.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my million-dollar smile is on display for all of you, even the cretins right here in Silver Spring! When I woke up the night after the Battle Riot, I heard that S7W closed down for good!" Hooligan cheered, with Mandy applauding next to him as the crowd booed, and chanted 'S7W' as Hooligan shook his head while laughing.

"Y'all can chant their name all you want, but they aren't coming back! Bien Sports finally realized that the BTWF was the only wrestling that they needed on their network! And I mean…if you were a TV executive, wouldn't you rather have a star on your show than a bunch of nobodies who are only good for making Meltzer cream himself?" Hooligan asked, causing the crowd to boo louder as they continued chanting for 'S7W' while a few people in the crowd were chanting 'Meltzer Sucks!'

"So, Kokonoe, if you're watching me from the unemployment line that you're currently in with all those nobodies and has-beens, you're about to watch how a real wrestler gets work done. I'm going to win this match, win the Elimination Chamber match at Last Gasp, and then go on to get the hero's ending that I deserve, and win the BTWF Championship in the main event of StarShow!" Hooligan exclaimed as the crowd continued booing and chanting 'Hooligan Sucks' before Mandy took the microphone and Hooligan walked to the corner of the ring.

"This following match is going to be dedicated to the fall of S7W, and the rise of the Hollywood Hooligan!" Mandy exclaimed. Mandy then gave the microphone back to Mary Hughes on the outside as she applauded Hooligan from ringside in front of the commentary table. 'Don't Stop' by Nothing More (feat. Jacoby Shaddix) played, causing the crowd to explode into cheers as the lights in the arena blinked red and blue, revealing Todoroki sitting criss-cross on the center of the stage.

"Hooligan may want to get his excitement of S7W closing down out of his mind, because here comes a man who has made winning the BTWF Championship his mission here in the BTWF!" Cornette exclaimed as Todoroki spun back up to his feet as the lights in the arena turned brighter shades of red and blue so that Todoroki's determined face and clenched fists could be seen better by the cheering audience. Hooligan sat on the top corner, looking unimpressed as he continued looking on while Todoroki began walking down the stage and onto the entrance ramp.

"The following contest is an Elimination Chamber qualifying match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, in the ring, accompanied by Mandy DeRoyale, now residing in Hollywood California, the Hollywood Hooligan! And his opponent, approaching the ring, from Musutafu Japan, Shoto Todoroki!" Mary Hughes announced, with the crowd booing loudly at Hooligan's introduction while cheering as Todoroki continued walking to the ring. Todoroki nodded at several fans cheering him before running through the ringside area and jumping over the top rope, flipping into a criss-cross seated position.

"Todoroki has a very good showing at the Battle Riot, but he was unable to win the titular match. He's coming into this match hoping that this is his chance to get a BTWF Championship match at the biggest show in BTWF!" Beth exclaimed as Todoroki kipped back up to his feet, and then jumped onto the middle rope. The crowd continued cheering as Todoroki lifted a fist in the air while Hooligan got back down to the ground, telling Todoroki to get off the ropes and get onto the canvas.

"Hooligan wants this match to start, feeling confident that he's going to be the one going to Starshow!" Okabe exclaimed as Todoroki obliged, jumping down from the rope, and landing right in front of Hooligan, causing Hooligan to back away slightly. The referee made sure both men were ready before telling the ringside attendant to ring the bell, with the crowd cheering as Todoroki and Hooligan locked up in the middle of the ring. Hooligan attempted to push Todoroki into the corner, but Todoroki was able to throw Hooligan into the corner. The crowd cheered as Hooligan attempted to come out of the corner, but Todoroki countered by sending Hooligan down with a Headlock Takedown.

"Todoroki trying to get the match started in his favor, taking Hooligan down with a Side Headlock!" Cornette exclaimed as Hooligan attempted to get back on his feet, but Todoroki decided to let go of the Headlock, and send Hooligan back to the ground with a Headscissors. The crowd continued cheering as Todoroki continued squeezing Hooligan's neck with his legs, and Hooligan attempted to get out of it by performing a headstand. However, Todoroki, unfazed by Hooligan's athletic attempt at an escape, and pushed him on all fours, before locking him in a Cattle Mutilation.

"Todoroki keeping Hooligan grounded with some unique submission holds!" Beth exclaimed as Hooligan immediately started dragging himself to the ropes, putting both of his feet on the bottom rope. The crowd booed as Todoroki let go of the hold, and when Todoroki tried to put Hooligan back into a Cattle Mutilation, Hooligan was able to counter by pushing Todoroki down and putting him in a Hammerlock. Hooligan slapped Todoroki in the back of the head a couple of times while continuing to wrench his arm back in the Hammerlock.

"I don't think it's a smart idea for Hooligan to provoke Todoroki like that," Okabe warned as Todoroki started pulling himself back up to his feet, and hitting Hooligan in the side of the head with several back elbows until Hooligan let go of the Hammerlock. Hooligan attempted to run back at Todoroki, but he was able to take Hooligan down with a Japanese Arm Drag, and Hooligan responded with a Japanese Arm Drag of his own once he got back up. Todoroki kipped back to his feet, and when Hooligan attempted to hit him with a Clothesline, Todoroki took him down with another Japanese Arm Drag. Todoroki let Hooligan get back to his feet, and when Hooligan attempted to hit Todoroki with another Japanese Arm Drag of his, but Todoroki pushed Hooligan's arm away and knocked Hooligan down with a Jumping Spin Kick.

"Todoroki nearly sent Hooligan's jaw flying off of his face with that kick!" Beth exclaimed as Hooligan attempted to pull himself back up to his feet, but Todoroki pulled him up by the hair and hit him with several Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before throwing him into the corner. Todoroki hit Hooligan in the chest with several kicks to the chest before hitting him with another Jumping Spin Kick to the face, sending Hooligan staggering out of the corner. The crowd continued cheering as Todoroki picked Hooligan up, and hit him with a Scoop Slam before hitting him with a Double Foot Stomp to the chest, sending Hooligan sitting up while holding his chest in pain.

"Todoroki showing off his striking ability against Hooligan, and Mandy looks worried on the outside," Cornette pointed out as Todoroki ran the ropes, and hit a Running Penalty Kick to Hooligan's face before going for the pin, hooking both of his legs.

Ref: 1…2

Todoroki picked Hooligan up when he kicked out and kicked him a couple more times in the chest, but Hooligan was able to counter one of those kicks with a kick of his own, sending Todoroki staggering away while holding his gut. The crowd booed as Hooligan grabbed Todoroki by the hair, and hit him with several punches to the side of the head before pushing him into the ropes. Hooligan then ran the ropes and attempted to Clothesline Todoroki over the ropes, but Todoroki was able to counter with a Back Body Drop, sending Hooligan flying out of the ring and onto the floor.

"Todoroki able to send Hooligan flying over the top rope, and the crowd is loving it!" Beth exclaimed as Todoroki waited for Hooligan to get back to his feet. When Hooligan did get back to his feet while holding his back, Todoroki ran the ropes and vaulted over the top rope to hit Hooligan with a Tope Con Hilo. The crowd cheered louder as Todoroki rolled back onto his feet in front of the announcers' table and nodded at the cheering fans before grabbing Hooligan by the hair, and hitting him with several punches to the side of the head.

"Todoroki showing just how much he wants that BTWF Championship, as like you said Cornette, winning the BTWF Championship has been Todoroki's main reason for coming to the BTWF!" Beth exclaimed as Todoroki picked Hooligan up, and hit him with a Scoop Slam onto the announce table, sending him sides crashing into the corner and sides of the announcers' table. Hooligan attempted to roll away from Todoroki, but he grabbed the back of Hooligan's tights and attempted to pull him back up. However, Hooligan was able to kick Todoroki in the family jewels with a Mule Kick, but due to their positioning, the referee was unable to notice it.

Ref: 1…2…3

"Hooligan, taking advantage of their positioning on the outside, and hitting Todoroki with a low blow!" Cornette exclaimed as Hooligan got back to his feet, grabbed Todoroki by the hair, and slammed his face into the top of the announcers' table multiple times before grabbing the back of his head and slamming him onto the ground. Hooligan smirked and nodded at the crowd, causing the crowd to boo as he turned around, and started stomping on Todoroki's gut and head before picking him up. Hooligan hit several Knife-Edge Chops to Todoroki's chest before grabbing Todoroki by the hair and slamming his face into the steel ring post a couple of times.

Ref: …4…5…6

"Hooligan dialing up the aggression, using the outside of the ring as a weapon to gain control in this match back!" Okabe exclaimed as Hooligan grabbed Todoroki by the hair, and hit him with several more punches to the side of the face before throwing him back into the ring. Hooligan jumped onto the apron and hit Todoroki in the chest with a Springboard Frog Splash to the chest before going for the pin, hooking both of his legs back.

Ref: 1…2

Hooligan picked Todoroki up by the hair once again throwing him into the corner, with the crowd continuing to boo as Hooligan stomped on Todoroki's gut multiple times. Hooligan then hit a couple of European Uppercuts onto Todoroki's chin before running the ropes and hitting a Running European Uppercut to Todoroki's chin. Hooligan then pushed Todoroki out of the corner, jumped onto the middle turnbuckle, and hit a Middle Rope Missile Dropkick to the back of Todoroki's head.

"Hooligan nearly sending Todoroki's head flying off of his body with a Missile Dropkick right to the back of the head!" Cornette exclaimed as Hooligan raised his fist up in the air with a smirk. Mandy continued to applaud while Hooligan stomped on Todoroki's chest multiple times. Hooligan then motioned that he was going to become the next BTWF Champion before hitting Todoroki with a Standing Corkscrew Senton to Todoroki's chest before going for another pin.

Ref: 1…2.

Hooligan looked shocked at the referee as he got back to his feet, and started pushing his foot into Todoroki's face, grinding the heel of his boot into Todoroki's nose. The crowd cheered as Todoroki started kicking Hooligan in the back of the leg several times while on the ground. Hooligan responded by kicking Todoroki in the side of the head before grabbing Todoroki and hitting him with a Snap DDT.

"Hooligan planting Todoroki into the ground with that DDT! That had to hurt!" Beth exclaimed as Hooligan grabbed Todoroki, put him in a Side Headlock, and hit him with multiple Crossface shots across the forehead and face. Todoroki attempted to escape the hold and hit Hooligan in the side of the head with several Back Elbows, but Hooligan was able to keep a hold of Todoroki's hair, hit him with several kicks to the face, and take him back down with a Swinging Neckbreaker. The crowd continued booing as Hooligan picked Todoroki back up, hit him with another Swinging Neckbreaker, picked him up, and hit Todoroki with a Vertical Suplex Neckbreaker.

"What a combination by Hooligan, but you can see that those hard back elbows had some effect on Hooligan!" Okabe exclaimed as Hooligan put a hand on his jaw in pain. The crowd continued booing as Hooligan picked Todoroki up, and hit him with multiple forearms to the side of the head before hitting Todoroki with a Dropkick to the back, sending Todoroki to his knees. The crowd continued booing as Hooligan grabbed Todoroki and put him in a Rear Chinlock, hitting him with multiple punches while keeping him in the Chinlock. After less than a minute, Todoroki got back up on his feet and attempted to throw Hooligan off of him, but when Todoroki attempted to throw Hooligan off with a Judo Throw, Hooligan was able to counter this into an Arm Drag transitioned into a Crossface.

"Impressive counter by Hooligan! We have to remember for all the Hollywood BS that Hooligan rants on and on about, he is still a very capable performer," Cornette explained as Hooligan pulled Todoroki's neck and head back while keeping him in the Crossface. Todoroki attempted to pull himself to the ropes, but Hooligan raked Todoroki in the eyes, dragged him back to the center of the ring, and put him back in the Crossface. After another half a minute in the match, Todoroki attempted to roll Hooligan into a pinning situation, but Hooligan was able to keep the Crossface locked in.

"Hooligan not letting go of the Crossface and Todoroki looks as though he's going to pass out!" Beth exclaimed as Todoroki continued fighting on, hitting multiple headbutts to the side of Hooligan's head. Hooligan finally let go of the Crossface, causing the crowd to cheer as Hooligan staggered into the corner, which allowed Todoroki to get back up to his feet. Todoroki went into the corner, and Hooligan attempted to kick him away, but the crowd continued cheering as Todoroki blocked the kick, kicked him in the back of the leg a couple of times, and sent him out of the corner with a Frankensteiner before rolling him up for a pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

"Todoroki almost got the shock victory with that Frankensteiner, but Hooligan survived!" Cornette exclaimed as Hooligan got back up to his feet, and when he did, Todoroki ran the ropes and knocked Hooligan down with a Jumping Back Elbow. The crowd continued cheering as when Hooligan got back to his feet, Todoroki hit several more kicks to the sides of Hooligan's legs and chest before running the ropes and springboarding off of the middle rope with a Moonsault to a standing Hooligan. Once Hooligan was back down, the crowd exploded once again as Todoroki kipped back up to his feet, and ran the ropes to once again springboard off of the middle rope, hitting Hooligan with another Springboard Moonsault across Hooligan's chest before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2.

"A series of Moonsaults was not enough to put the Hollywood Hooligan away, but I think Todoroki has more in his arsenal!" Okabe exclaimed as Todoroki picked Hooligan back up, and kicked him in the gut before picking him up in a Vertical Suplex position. However, as Todoroki picked him up, Hooligan was able to counter this into a Stundog Millionaire, causing the crowd to boo as Hooligan ran the ropes, and attempted to hit a stunned Todoroki with a V-Trigger Knee Strike. However, Todoroki was able to counter this move by catching Hooligan, and planting him with a Powerbomb, causing the crowd to cheer as he put Hooligan on his knees, ran the ropes, and hit him with a Running Basement Knee Strike, sending Hooligan staggering into the ropes, draping his head over the middle rope.

"I can see Hooligan's face right in front of us, and it looks like Hooligan's on another planet right now!" Beth exclaimed as Todoroki ran the ropes, and hit a Running Dropkick to the back of Hooligan's head, sending him staggering away from the ropes. The crowd continued cheering as Todoroki grabbed Hooligan, and hit him with a Falcon Arrow, sending Hooligan into a seated position before jumping up to the middle turnbuckle, and hitting Hooligan with a Middle Rope Diving Forearm. Todoroki then dragged Hooligan away from the corner and pinned him, hooking both of his legs back.

Ref: 1…2..

"Hooligan has to be seeing stars at this point, as despite kicking out, he still looks dazed and confused," Okabe pointed out as Todoroki picked Hooligan back up, kneed him in the gut, and attempted to hit him with a Scoop Slam. However, Hooligan was able to slip out of the attempted Scoop Slam and attempted to hit Todoroki with the Hollywood Glitz (Inverted Facelock Spun into a Three-Quarter Facelock Single Knee Facebreaker). Todoroki was able to counter mid-move, hitting Hooligan kick to the side of the head before springboarding off of the second rope to attempt a Springboard Spin Kick. However, Hooligan was able to duck the kick, and before Todoroki could react, Hooligan springboarded off of the middle rope himself and hit Todoroki with a Springboard Bulldog.

"Hooligan showing off his own athleticism, sending Todoroki face-planting into the canvas with a Springboard Bulldog!" Beth exclaimed as Hooligan smirked at a downed Todoroki before stomping on his face several times. Hooligan then started climbing up to the top rope, told the crowd that Todoroki was down for the count, and dived off of the top rope with a Twisting Frog Splash. The crowd continued booing as Hooligan grabbed both of Todoroki's arms, and hit him with a Short Arm Knee Strike before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

Hooligan looked shocked as Todoroki held his face in pain before he pounded the mat in frustration. Mandy leaned into the ring and told Todoroki that he should give up, and while the referee was arguing with Hooligan, Mandy slapped Todoroki in the face, causing the crowd to boo louder as Todoroki staggered away from the ropes.

"I was wondering when that vulture was going to get involved in this match!" Cornette exclaimed as Hooligan took advantage of a distracted Todoroki, hitting him with a Backstabber before sending him back down with a Cover Shot (Swinging Leg Hook Fireman's Carry Slam). Hooligan grabbed Todoroki by the hair, and slapped him on the back of the head, telling him to stay down and let the real hero win the match. Hooligan noticed that Todoroki was getting on his knees, and Hooligan responded by running the ropes and attempting to hit Todoroki with a V-Trigger Knee. However, Todoroki was able to dodge the knee strike, and when Hooligan bounced off of the ropes, Todoroki took him down with a German Suplex.

"Todoroki showing that he still has some fight left, which in turn shows just how much the BTWF Championship means to him!" Okabe exclaimed as Todoroki went into the corner, and prepared to hit Hooligan with the Hot and Cold (Mushroom Stomp). However, the crowd booed as Mandy grabbed Todoroki's foot from the outside, and while Todoroki was busy dealing with Mandy, Hooligan ran at him, attempting to hit him with a Jumping Corner Clothesline, but Todoroki was able to roll out of the corner, sending Hooligan crashing back first into the corner before sending him staggering back out of the corner with a CCS Enziguri.

"Even a distraction from that vulture, as you called her Cornette, Todoroki was still able to maintain his momentum!" Beth exclaimed as Todoroki ran the ropes and nearly turned Hooligan inside out with the Hot and Cold (Mushroom Stomp) before going for the pin.

*Bell Rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Shoto Todoroki!" Mary Hughes announced. The crowd cheered as Todoroki got onto his feet, and raised his fist up in the air while using his other hand to hold his jaw. The crowd continued cheering as Todoroki went into the corner, jumped up to the middle turnbuckle, continuing to raise his fist in the air. Meanwhile, Hooligan rolled out of the ring, coughing while holding his chest and while Mandy was patting him on the back to try and comfort him.

"And just like that, Todoroki has become the first man to earn their spot in the #1 contendership Elimination Chamber match at Last Gasp!" Cornette exclaimed as Mandy started yelling and screaming at Todoroki, who responded to her by looking over at Mandy with a disinterested look on his face, and shrugged before looking back at his fans cheering him. Mandy started screaming even more at the thought of being ignored while Hooligan was starting to get back to his feet. Todoroki jumped down out of the corner, and walked over to one of the cameras in the corner, telling the fans at home that his mission in the BTWF is closer to coming to fruition.

"Todoroki's so elated about winning this match, that he's not even registering the temper tantrum that Mandy's going through on the outside," Beth exclaimed as Todoroki rolled out of the ring, and started high-fiving fans on the outside. Hooligan glared at the cheering fans and Todoroki as he stomped over to the announcers' desk, and told them that this was only the first act of his movie and that he was going to be standing on top of the mountain here in the BTWF when the true climax of his movie comes up.

"Todoroki may be elated, but Hooligan is the exact opposite, telling us that his time is yet to come!" Okabe exclaimed as Mandy told the announcers that the next time Hooligan is in a match, they should talk about him more. The crowd continued cheering as Todoroki walked up the entranceway, and continued high-fiving and fist bumped fans before the camera panned to the locker room, with BTWF Champion Natsu Dragneel sitting on the bench in the center of the locker room with a smile on his face and the BTWF Championship slung over his shoulder.

"I don't know who else is going to be in this match, but I'm already pulling for Todoroki," Natsu said to himself before the door to his locker room opened, revealing Soul Eater Evans. Natsu got back to his feet while keeping the BTWF Championship slung over his shoulder as Soul kept his eyes on the BTWF Championship.

"Hey Natsu, listen, I'm gonna level with you. I know you had a war with Kaworu, and your leg may not be at 100%, but I want my one-on-one BTWF Championship match tonight," Soul explained. Natsu let out a low whistle in interest before looking down at his right leg, which was still wrapped with gauze and athletic tape.

"Soul, I'd love to have another match with you, but are you sure you don't want to do this on PPV? I'm still looking for an opponent for the PPV," Natsu asked as Soul let out a chuckle before shaking his head.

"I'm sure. I've waited long enough for my one-on-one match, and with all due respect, I'm not waiting anymore. I want my BTWF Championship match, and I want it tonight," Soul responded, walking up to Natsu, and having a staredown with him. Natsu looked Soul up and down, and realizing that he was dead serious about this, nodded and patted his BTWF Championship.

"Alright, you want a match tonight? That's something I can definitely do. You and me, one-on-one for the BTWF Championship, tonight in the main event of Octane," Natsu explained, holding a hand out for a handshake. "Good luck, Soul. Because when I get this match signed, you're gonna have to bring more than your best to take this belt off of me." Soul nodded and firmly grasped Natsu's hand for a handshake.

"That's cool, Natsu. I'll see you tonight, and don't worry, I plan on bringing everything to this match, and I WILL walk out with the BTWF Championship at the end of the night," Soul responded before letting go of Natsu's hand, patting the BTWF Championship, and walking out of the locker room. Natsu looked at the BTWF Championship, smirked, put the title on the bench, and began heading to the weights to get some last-minute training in. The camera then panned to the stage, where Mirajane Strauss was standing at the center of the stage with a microphone in her hand.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you saw him tear through the competition in the BTWF Battle Riot, to the point where it took five of the best the BTWF had to offer to BARELY eliminate him from the Battle Riot! But one minor bump in the road isn't going to derail the momentum of this superstar one little bit, as his true path of destruction is going to start tonight!" Mirajane exclaimed as the camera briefly panned to the ring, where a local enhancement talent, Craig Clark, was stretching in the middle of the ring.

"Now without further ado, I would like to introduce you to the next megastar in the BTWF! He is a man who has enough intensity to charge this entire city for the next hundred years! He is strong enough to lift this ring and dump the garbage that stands in the middle of it right out! And he's fast enough to rocket through the competition while they'll see nothing but a blur as he arrives at the top! Please welcome, my husband and your next champion, 'the Thunder God' Laxus Dreyar!" Mirajane introduced, causing the crowd to boo as a bolt of lightning struck the stage behind Mirajane. She didn't seem to react as 'Down from the Sky' by Trivium played, causing the crowd to boo louder as Laxus walked out of the back with a gold and black cape over him.

"Quite an entrance for someone who had a hell of a showing in the BTWF Battle Riot, eliminating 1/4th of the Battle Riot field all while lasting for almost an hour!" Cornette exclaimed as Laxus stood at the center of the stage, and took off his cape while flexing, causing pyro to go off from behind him. Mirajane continued applauding Laxus as he began slapping himself in the face to hype him up before kicking and punching the air, causing more pyro to go off. Mirajane jumped into Laxus' arms, and the two engaged in a passionate kiss at the center of the stage, causing the crowd to boo louder.

"Mirajane giving Laxus some added motivation heading into his BTWF Octane debut!" Beth exclaimed with a chuckle as Laxus put Mirajane now, and started making his way down the entrance ramp. Craig Clark went into the corner to start stretching as Laxus and Mirajane continued walking to the ring. Once Laxus got to the ringside area, Laxus beat his chest and smirked at his opponent before jumping up onto the apron in one fell swoop while Mirajane was applauding him, and telling the camera that they were looking at a future champion.

"Given Laxus' performance at the Battle Riot, Mirajane's prediction of Laxus becoming a champion may be more of a spoiler," Okabe explained as Laxus jumped over the top rope and stomped over to Crag, but the referee got in between them, telling Laxus to get back into his corner. Once the referee made sure that both men were ready, the referee told the timekeeper to ring the bell, and when he did, Craig attempted to run at Laxus with a Running Clothesline, but Laxus was able to hit him with a Running Powerslam. The crowd began booing as Laxus grabbed Craig, threw him into the corner, and hit him with multiple back elbows with both arms.

"Laxus crushing the sides of Craig's face with multiple back elbows! The match could already be over, but you can tell by the look on Laxus' face that he isn't done!" Beth exclaimed as Laxus ran the ropes, and hit Craig with a Running Spin Kick to the face, sending Craig falling out of the corner. Laxus picked Craig up in a Military Press and started bench-pressing him with Mirajane twirling a strand of hair in investment before Laxus sent Craig's chest falling onto his knee. The crowd continued booing as Laxus ran into the corner, and jumped into the corner a couple of times, waiting for Craig to get back to his feet.

"Laxus already preparing to end this match, and Mirajane is loving it even if the fans aren't!" Cornette exclaimed as Craig staggered to his feet, coughing and holding his chest in pain, and Laxus responded by running at Craig, and hitting him with a Raging Bolt (Goldberg-esque Spear).

"Laxus almost sent that poor kid right through the ring with that Spear!" Cornette exclaimed once again as Laxus grabbed Craig by the hair, picked him up in a Vertical Suplex position, and kept him up in the air while kissing his muscles and flirting with Mirajane on the outside. Laxus then sent Craig crashing down to the mat with the Roaring Thunder (Vertical Suplex Side Slam) before pinning him with only one finger.

*Bell Rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, 'The God of Thunder' Laxus Dreyar!" Mary Hughes announced as Mirajane sat up on the apron, and applauded Laxus' victory. Laxus walked over to the ropes, and held the bottom rope down with his foot and the middle rope with his right hand, allowing Mirajane to walk into the ring, flicking her white hair. Much to the chagrin of the crowd, Laxus grabbed Craig by the hair, put him back in the Military Press Slam, and threw him out of the ring, sending Craig crashing onto the ringside mats chest first.

"Laxus taking out the trash after his dominating performance here tonight!" Okabe exclaimed as Laxus grabbed Mirajane once again, and kissed her right on the lips while dipping her. The crowd continued booing as Mirajane stroked Laxus' face while demanding that Mary Hughes give them the microphone. Mary obliged, as Mirajane swiped the microphone from Mary's hand, got out of Laxus' arms, and gave Laxus the microphone. The crowd continued booing and chanting 'Shut the Hell Up!' before Laxus could even say anything, but Laxus rolled his eyes before he began talking.

"You know, as I was plowing that loser into the canvas, I remembered how much I dominated the Battle Riot! But there is one specific person that I remember dominating in the Battle Riot the most; Shinji Ikari!" Laxus exclaimed as the crowd booed louder, at this new guy making fun of one of the most beloved babyfaces in the BTWF.

"I mean, when I was working on my cushy contract with the BTWF, I kept hearing about how Shinji was this amazing wrestler who was nearly impossible to beat. If that's the case, then why was it so easy for me to Spear Shinji out of his little wrestling boots?" Laxus asked, with Mirajane responding by shrugging her shoulders, causing the crowd to continue booing as Laxus once again rolled his eyes towards the crowd.

"Since I pinned the 'unstoppable' BTWF United States Champion on my first night in the BTWF, I'm gonna throw my hat in the ring, and challenge Shinji for the United States Championship. I don't care when, but think about it really well Shinji because I'll be waiting for my answer," Laxus explained before dropping the microphone, walking to the ropes, and opening the ropes so Mirajane could walk out. Laxus followed her out before flipping the fans off, laughing at a couple of medical personnel checking on Craig, who hadn't moved since getting thrown out of the ring.

"Well, Laxus making his intentions clear from the get-go; he wants gold around his waist, and he wants to take that gold straight from the Heart and Soul of the BTWF, Shinji Ikari!" Beth exclaimed as the crowd continued booing while Laxus and Mirajane flirted with each other while walking to the back. The camera then panned to the backstage area, where Pieck Finger was standing next to Erza Scarlet.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm standing by with Erza Scarlet, who over this past month, has been on something of a roll since breaking apart from the Beautiful People. Erza, I want to ask, what's next for you?" Pieck asked as Erza ran a hand through her scarlet hair, and nodded before responding.

"With Last Gasp coming up, I'm planning on punching my ticket into that Elimination Chamber match for the BTWF World Women's Championship. I have a qualifying match next week against Akira Hayami, and she may be one of the biggest women in the Octane Women's division, but I'm starving for that championship opportunity that I was deprived of in the Beautiful People. So Akira, you're going to have to do EVERYTHING that you can to put me down, because nothing is going to stop me from getting that championship around my waist," Erza explained as Pieck nodded before taking the microphone back.

"Speaking of the Women's Championship, what are your thoughts on Sherry dominating the Women's division as champion?" Pieck asked.

"Sherry is a great wrestler, but she's not right in the head. I don't know what she and this cult she has is all about, but I'm not scared of Sherry. I've dealt with plenty worse than her, and-" Erza responded, but was interrupted when a woman in a black hoodie came running up from behind Erza and knocked her down with a Running Forearm. Pieck backed away as the woman grabbed Erza by the back of the head, and smashed her face into a nearby production crate. The woman then mounted Erza and started punching her in the side of the head multiple times until security came running down.

"Get away!" the woman shrieked as she grabbed a dazed Erza by the face, and sent her face crashing into the wall. With Erza downed, the woman took off her hood and revealed herself to be Asuka Langley Soryu, who was wearing a clear protective face mask and had some scars surrounding her nose. Asuka growled at the security before kicking Erza in the side of the head with a Running Boot before backing away before security could get to her. The camera panned to a commercial break as a couple of medical personnel came running over to try and help Erza up.

*Commercial Break*

*Commercial Over*

The camera panned back to the show, with BTWF United States Champion Shinji Ikari and his wife, Rei Ayanami arriving at the arena. As Shinji and Rei were walking into the arena, Jack Korpela came walking up to the both of them.

"Excuse me, Shinji, I don't know if you're aware of this, but Laxus Dreyar just called you out before the commercial break. Do you have any comments?" Jack asked as Shinji stopped, putting his BTWF United States Championship on his suitcase before responding.

"I didn't get to hear it since I was still in the car, but a couple of people did tell me what he said. And I'll say this; he did pin me in the Battle Riot, but if we face off one-on-one, there isn't going to be several other wrestlers distracting the both of us by attempting to throw us out of the ring," Shinji explained as Jack nodded before turning her attention to Rei.

"And as for you, Miss. Ayanami, next week, you're going to be in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match, and given how Sherry has screwed you out of the BTWF World Women's Championship twice, how are you approaching this match?" Jack asked as Rei put a hand on Shinji's shoulder and smiled.

"I am approaching this match as I usually do. Whoever my opponent is next week, I will be ready," Rei said simply as Korpela nodded before asking another question.

"How do you feel about Asuka's return before the commercial break, given how you two had an intense feud over the BTWF World Women's Championship?" Jack asked. Rei simply smirked before responding.

"I am not particularly concerned. I have beaten Asuka multiple times in the past, and the same thing will happen again if we were to get into the ring together right now," Rei explained. Before Jack could ask another question, Akira 'the Spotlight' Hayami came walking into the shot, glaring at Rei and Shinji before focusing on Rei.

"At least you tried, Akira," Rei said with a smirk. Akira looked as though she was going to throw Rei across the hall in a fit of rage, but took a couple of deep breaths and went back to glowering over Rei.

"Don't get smart with me, Ayanami. You couldn't get the job done either, but we were both screwed over by the Sisterhood. Next week, whether one of us or both of us win our qualifying matches, we have to make sure that Sherry doesn't make it to StarShow with the BTWF World Women's Championship," Akira explained. Rei nodded her head and patted Akira on the shoulder before responding.

"I do agree with not wanting to see Sherry on top of the BTWF Women's Division here on Octane, but why would I team up with you? I cannot stand you at the best of times, and I am sure the feeling is mutual," Rei wondered out loud, with Akira sighing before responding.

"You're right about that, but I hate Sherry and the Sisterhood even more than I don't like you. So, until we get the BTWF World Women's Championship off of Sherry, we should continue our truce so that the both of us can take out the Sisterhood," Akira explained. Rei nodded, grabbed Akira's hand, and shook it as hard as she could before letting go. Akira nodded and patted her on the shoulder before walking away. Shinji, who was looking on so that he could let Rei handle this, patted Rei on the back.

"Good job with that one, Rei," Shinji said, giving Akira's disappearing frame a raised eyebrow before Kaworu Nagisa and Senku Ishigami came walking up to Shinji. Shinji merely chuckled at Kaworu but noticed that Kaworu wasn't looking at him, but was looking at the BTWF United States Championship that was on his suitcase. Before Shinji could respond, Kaworu and Senku walked away from the couple before the camera panned back to the stage with Rei and Shinji finally walking down the hall to their locker room. Once the camera focused on the stage, Justin Gabriel's 'Fear Nothing' theme song played, causing the crowd to explode into cheers as smoke came shooting out of the floor.

"A lot of news coming from that one interview! Only in the BTWF!" Cornette laughed as Zia came running out of the back, sliding onto both of her knees. The crowd continued cheering as Zia gave the crowd a brief air guitar solo before springing back to her feet, causing some pyro to shoot out of the floor along with the smoke. The crowd continued cheering as Zia gave the fans at home the devil horns before high-fiving fans on her way to the ring.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is a qualification match for the BTWF World Women's Championship Elimination Chamber! Introducing first, from Springfield Illinois, she is 'the Woman That Gravity Forgot' Zia Simpson!" Mary Hughes announced as Zia motioned around her waist, saying that the BTWF World Women's Championship was coming home with her at Last Gasp. Zia then noticed a fan who had a sign with Zia's name on it, pointed to it, and ruffled the young fan's hair before continuing to make her way down the entranceway.

"Zia is definitely one of the biggest fan favorites here in the BTWF Octane Women's Division, and you know that the fans will be with Zia all the way, even in the Elimination Chamber!" Beth exclaimed as once Zia got to the ringside area, she ran to the ring and slid into the ring from underneath the bottom rope. While on the floor, Zia crossed her legs and raised her fist in the air before kipping back up to her feet. The crowd continued cheering as Zia jumped up to the top rope, raised one finger in the air, and then did some more air guitar.

"Well, unless the fans can jump into the Elimination Chamber and help Zia against not only Sherry, but four other women, I really doubt that," Okabe countered as Zia continued her air guitar before jumping off of the top rope, and landing on her feet in the middle of the ring. Zia then slid on her knees, turned into the corner, and sat down, telling her opponent to hurry up and come out. A moment later, 'Entertain You' by Within Temptation played, causing the crowd to boo as Clover came walking out with Jerry and Charlotte following her.

"And her opponent, from Beverly Hills California by way of Sainte-Mere-Eglise, France, accompanied to the ring by Jerry Lewis and Charlotte Belew, she is 'the Fabulous One', Clover Lamoreaux!" Mary Hughes announced as the crowd continued booing as Clover turned around to the mini-Tron, where a mirror appeared. Clover looked in the mirror, started fixing her hair, and told Charlotte to give her a hairbrush, and when she did, Clover started brushing her hair while Zia looked on incredulously.

"Clover and Zia have been feuding with each other for the past month, and the last time these two had a singles match, Clover was able to pick up the victory," Cornette explained as Clover blew a kiss to her reflection before giving the brush back to Charlotte, and turning around to walk down the entranceway. While the three were walking to the ring, Jerry started whispering into Clover's ear about strategy for the match, with Clover letting the fans at home know by telling the camera that she already beat Zia before and that she was going to do the same thing tonight.

"Clover has said that since breaking up the Totally Spies, she wants to win the BTWF World Women's Championship, and a victory in this qualification match is a step in the right direction," Okabe explained as Clover took off her jacket, looked in the mirror, and gave the jacket to Jerry before walking up the steel steps and onto the apron. The crowd continued booing as Clover smirked at them before walking into the ring, and blowing a sarcastic kiss to Zia, who responded by flipping her off.

"No love lost between these two as you can see," Beth noted as Clover told the referee that she was ready, and when the referee made sure that Zia was ready, the referee told the timekeeper to ring the bell. Once the bell rang, Clover and Zia walked to the center of the ring, and Clover patted Zia on the top of her head, telling her that she was just going to lose again anyway and that she might as well just give her the win. Zia told her to keep dreaming before slapping her in the side of the face, causing the crowd to cheer as before Clover could react, Zia hit her with multiple punches to the side of the face, pushing her into the corner.

"Zia doesn't look like she's giving the match to Clover, and Clover may be regretting her trash talk!" Beth exclaimed as Zia ran into the corner, and hit Clover with a Running Uppercut to the chin. Zia then grabbed Clover by the hair and sent her down with a Snapmare before hitting her with a Dropkick to the back of the head. The crowd continued cheering as Zia mounted on top of Clover, and started punching her in the side of the head before kipping back up to her feet and hitting her with a Standing Shooting Star Press. When Clover sat up in pain, Zia ran the ropes and hit Clover with a Basement Single Leg Dropkick to the side of the head before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…

"Zia dominating the match right now, as Clover hasn't been able to get going in this match," Cornette explained as Zia picked Clover up, and hit her with several forearms to the side of her head. Zia attempted to throw her back into the corner, but Clover was able to counter the Irish whip, sending Zia into the corner. The crowd booed as Clover quickly hit Zia with a Running Corner Clothesline before slapping her in the side of the face a couple of times, telling Zia that she should never disrespect her like that again. However, when Clover attempted to take her out of the corner, Zia kicked her in the gut, pushed her into the corner, and started hitting her with multiple punches to the side of the head.

"Zia's not taking Clover's bullying and trash talk lying down, sending Clover down with some hard punches to the side of the head!" Beth exclaimed as Zia grabbed Clover, and hit her with a Northern Lights Suplex, bridging into a pinfall.

Ref: 1…

Clover kicked out and attempted to roll out of the ring, but Zia grabbed Clover by the hair, attempting to hit her with some more punches, but Clover poked Zia in the eye, causing the crowd to boo as Clover rolled out of the ring to take a break. Jerry and Charlotte ran after Clover to check on her, and Zia simply sighed before shrugging her shoulders and jumping up onto the top rope.

"Jerry and Charlotte might want to look out, as Zia looks like she's taking no prisoners!" Okabe exclaimed as Zia dived off of the top rope with a Corkscrew Crossbody, sending Clover, Jerry, and Charlotte down. The crowd cheered as Zia pounded on the top of the announcers' table, causing the crowd to cheer loudly as Zia jumped up on top of the announcers' table. When Clover and Charlotte got back to their feet, Zia dived off of the announcers' table and hit both Clover and Charlotte with a Moonsault Reverse DDT.

Ref: 1…2…3

"Zia showing off her amazing athleticism with a Double Moonsault DDT, taking both Clover and Charlotte down!" Cornette exclaimed as Zia picked Clover up, and hit her with a couple of punches to the side of the head before throwing her back into the ring. Zia jumped up to the ring apron and attempted to hit Clover with a Springboard 450 Splash, but Jerry was able to grab her leg, causing the crowd to boo as Zia turned around, and started kicking Jerry in the face until he let go and fell back down. However, while Zia was still turned around, Clover ran up behind Zia, and hit her with a Running Forearm to the back of the head, sending Zia falling off of the apron, and slamming her face and chin into the announcers' table.

"Jerry providing enough of a distraction for Clover to send Zia flying off of the apron and onto the announcers' table!" Beth exclaimed while wincing as Zia put a hand over her now-bleeding mouth. Clover got her beatings back, shaking her head while waiting for Zia to get back to her feet, and when she did, Clover ran the ropes, and hit a Suicide Dive onto Zia, sending her back and crashing into the announcers' table. The crowd continued booing as Clover grabbed Zia by the back of the head, slammed the back of her head onto the top of the announcers' table, and yelled at her that she was nothing compared to Clover.

Ref: 1…2…3

"Clover's ego is already back in full effect as she has taken control back," Beth complained as Clover picked Zia up, and hit her with Snake Eyes onto the steel ring apron. Zia held her bloodied face before Clover threw Zia back into the ring while thanking Jerry and rolling into the ring. Clover grabbed Zia's hair and started hitting her with several punches to the face before hitting her with a hard forearm to the side of the head. Clover then picked Zia up, dragged her to the ropes by the hair, and hung her head over the middle rope. The crowd continued booing as Clover ran the ropes, hit a Running Hip Attack onto Zia's back, and kept sitting down on Zia's back, looking at her nails as the referee told her to back away.

"Well, can you blame her? Clover's the type of woman that is full of confidence, and what's wrong with being confident if you're on top?" Okabe countered once again as Clover began arguing with the referee, allowing Charlotte to grab Zia by the hair, and hit her with several punches to the side of her head. Zia attempted to go after Charlotte again, but Clover grabbed Zia by the leg, pulled her into the center of the ring, and hit her with a Jumping Elbow Drop to the back. The crowd continued booing as Clover hit several more Elbow Drops to Zia's back before running the ropes and hitting a Running Senton to Zia's back.

"Clover beginning to target the back of Zia, and the back is an important ingredient for the power and speed that Zia relied on," Okabe explained as Clover picked Zia up, and hit her with a Backbreaker, pushing her knee right into Zia's back. Zia attempted to fight back with several punches to the side of Clover's head, but Clover hit Zia with another Backbreaker before sending her back down with a Reverse Gutwrench Suplex. The crowd booed as Clover stomped on the center of Zia's back, and blew a sarcastic kiss right to the booing fans before hitting Zia with a Jumping Single Foot Stomp hard enough to turn Zia on her back before going for the pin, hooking both of her legs back.

Ref: 1…2.

"Zia looks like she's having a hard time moving, and imagine how much this pain is going to increase when she's off her back," Cornette noted as Clover picked Zia up, and hit her with several European Uppercuts, but Zia grabbed Clover's arms and attempted to hit her with a Backslide Pin, but Clover was able to jump in front of Zia, run the ropes, hit Clover with a Running Knee Lift, and then Clover ran the ropes to hit Zia with a Running Knee to the back. The crowd booed as before Zia could fall down, Clover grabbed Zia by the back of her top and hit her with a Back Suplex.

"Clover doing a great job of keeping Zia at bay, and keeping the pressure on Zia's back," Okabe pointed out as Clover ran the ropes, and hit a Jumping Knee Drop to the top of Zia's head. The crowd continued booing as Clover grabbed Zia by the hair, and started ramming her knee into the small of Zia's back multiple times. Clover then grabbed Zia and threw her hard enough into the corner that Zia nearly bounced out of the corner, and when she did, Clover grabbed Zia and locked her in an Abdominal Stretch. Zia attempted to pull herself to the ropes, but Clover dragged herself and Zia away from the ropes and closer to the center of the ring.

"Clover now has the Abdominal Stretch locked in tight!" Beth exclaimed as Clover started ramming her elbow several times into Zia's chest and shoulder. Zia attempted to right back with multiple punches to the side of the head, but Clover was able to grab Zia's arm, pull it back, and give Zia additional pressure to add to the pressure caused by the Abdominal Stretch. The crowd continued booing as Zia fought back tears while trying to pull herself out of Clover's grasp. Clover started ramming her elbow into Zia's shoulder, but Zia was able to free her arm and hit multiple punches to Clover's face, allowing her to push Clover off of her.

"Zia freed herself from the Abdominal Stretch, but does that mean that she can finally get some momentum back on her side!?" Cornette exclaimed as Zia staggered around before grabbing Clover by the hair, and hitting her with several forearms to the side of the head. The crowd continued cheering as Zia attempted to put Clover in a Fireman's Carry, but the crowd went back to booing as Clover raked Zia in the eyes, and when she turned around, jumped up to the middle rope, and hit Zia in the back of the head with a Middle Rope European Uppercut before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

"Zia kicked out, even barely, from an Uppercut to the back of the head! And you can see the frustration beginning to build up on Clover's face!" Beth exclaimed as Clover stomped on Zia's face multiple times before climbing up to the top rope. The crowd booed as Clover outstretched her arms, telling the crowd that Zia was finished before diving off of the top rope, attempting to hit Zia with a Diving Swanton Bomb, but the crowd cheered as Zia was able to lift her knees up, causing Clover to land right on Zia's knees. Clover went into the corner and began holding her back with Jerry and Charlotte trying to comfort her from the outside, but their words didn't have much effect as Zia ran into the corner, and hit Clover in the back of the head with a Running Meteora.

"Zia, despite all the pain coursing through her back, hit Clover with a vicious Meteora to the back of the head!" Okabe exclaimed as Zia took several breaths, stretched her back, and waited for Clover to get back to her feet. When Clover stood up in the corner, Zia ran into the corner to hit a Running Knee to Clover's face before throwing her out of the corner and then running the ropes to hit Clover with a Sling Blade. The crowd continued cheering as Zia ran into the corner, and waited once again for Clover to get back to her feet, and when she did, Zia ran out of the corner and hit Clover with two Clotheslines, a Double Ax Handle to the side of the face, a Twisting Back Elbow to the side of Clover's head, and a Frankensteiner, rolling Clover into a pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

"Zia nearly spiked Clover on the head with a Frankensteiner, but Clover is still able to kick out at the count of two!" Beth exclaimed as Zia grabbed Clover, put her in the Straight Jacket position, and much to the fan's delight, hit Clover with a Straight Jacket Neckbreaker, a Straight Jacket DDT, and a Straight Jacket Powerbomb. The crowd continued cheering as Zia jumped onto the ring apron, kicked Charlotte and Jerry away, and hit Clover with a Springboard 450 Splash to the chest before going for another pin, hooking both of Clover's legs back.

Ref: 1…2..

Zia smirked at the kick out and responded by grabbing Clover and attempting to lift her up for a Brainbuster, but Clover was able to counter by grabbing the top rope with her hand, allowing her to drop in front of Zia, and hit her with a punch to the side of the head that was hard enough to send her staggering into the corner.

"Some nice ring-awareness by Clover, showing not only the invaluable experience that Jerry gives her as a manager, but also shows that she's more than just a pretty face!" Okabe exclaimed as Clover took a couple of deep breaths before running into the corner with another Running Corner Clothesline, but Zia responded by putting her foot up, causing Clover to run into Zia's boot and stagger out of the corner. Zia then jumped onto the middle rope and hit Clover with a Diving Tornado DDT. The crowd continued cheering as Zia gave the fans the devil horns before hitting Clover with a Standing Corkscrew Shooting Star Press on her chest.

"Zia going back to completely dominating this match, as Clover's hard punch to the face barely seems to be affecting her!" Cornette exclaimed as Zia dragged Clover closer to the corner of the ring, and climbed up to the top rope. The crowd continued cheering as Zia balanced herself on the top turnbuckle, and attempted to hit Clover with the Blue Arrow (Red Arrow). However, Clover was able to get back to her feet before Zia could dive off, kick the top rope, and send Zia crashing onto her crotch. The crowd booed as Clover grabbed Zia by the blue streak in her hair, and started punching her in the side of the head before climbing up to the top rope. Once Clover steadied herself on the top turnbuckle, she hit Zia with a Top Rope Powerslam before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

"Zia getting hit with a Powerslam from the top rope, but she's still able to kick out!" Beth exclaimed in shock as Clover looked at the referee with shock also visible on her face. Clover got back to her feet, grabbed both of Zia's legs, stomped on Zia's stomach multiple times, and locked her in a Sharpshooter. The crowd continued booing as Zia started screaming in pain as she tried to make it to the ropes, but Clover simply responded by bending backwards, causing more pressure to be added onto Zia's back and legs. Zia continued trying to drag herself to the ropes, but Clover sat back up, pulled her closer to the center of the ring, and continued stretching her with the Sharpshooter.

"Zia could tap out right here, as Clover's taking advantage of Zia's flexibility by stretching her back as far as she can with that Sharpshooter!" Okabe exclaimed as Zia was finally able to make it to the ropes after a minute, grabbing the middle rope to initiate a ropebreak. The crowd began cheering as Clover grabbed Zia and attempted to pull her up by the leg. However, the crowd exploded into cheers as Zia was able to land back on her feet, hit a Spin Kick to Clover's gut, and then ran the ropes to hit a Springboard Forearm Smash from the middle rope before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2..

"What a forearm smash by Zia! Shawn Michaels would definitely be proud of that one!" Beth exclaimed as Zia grabbed Clover by the hair, and once again attempted to hit her with a Brainbuster, but this time, Clover kept her feet on the ground, and hit Zia with several punches to the gut and pushed her away. When Zia attempted to run back at Clover, Clover grabbed Zia and threw her throat-first onto the top rope with a Stun Gun before throwing her back and asking Charlotte for a pair of Brass Knuckles while Jerry went to distract the referee.

"Clover looks to finish this match off once and for all, using Jerry's signature Brass Knuckles!" Cornette exclaimed as Charlotte reached for the Brass Knuckles in her pocket, and slid them into the ring, but Clover wasn't able to get a hold of them, causing the crowd to cheer as Zia was able to grab the Brass Knuckles while still on the floor. Clover didn't know this, as she started yelling at Charlotte for messing up while behind her, Zia kipped back up to her feet, and waited for Clover to turn around.

"Clover might want to turn around because Zia looks to be ready to finish this match with a knockout blow!" Beth exclaimed as when Clover turned around, Zia hit her in the face with a Brass Knuckles-loaded punch to the side of the face, sending her down. When Jerry finally stopped distracting the referee, Zia threw the Brass Knuckles out of the ring and next to Charlotte before going back up to the top rope, causing the crowd to explode as Zia balanced herself on the top turnbuckle, and hit a knocked-out Clover with a Blue Arrow (Red Arrow) before going for the pin.

*Bell Rings*

"Here is your winner, 'the Woman that Gravity Forgot' Zia Simpson!" Mary Hughes announced as Zia got back to her feet with a hand on her back while raising her Devil Horns in the air. The crowd continued cheering as Zia ran into the corner, jumped up to the top turnbuckle, and gave the crowd the Devil Horns once again while telling the crowd that they were looking at the next BTWF World Women's Champion. Zia then started giving the cheering crowd an air guitar performance while Charlotte and Jerry pulled a dazed Clover out of the ring.

"Zia becomes the first woman to qualify for the BTWF World Women's Championship Elimination Chamber match! And you know that Sherry is looking on in her lair somewhat worried about this!" Beth exclaimed as on the outside, Clover pushed Charlotte away while trying to get back on her feet. Jerry tried to calm Clover down, but Clover continued yelling at Charlotte for messing up again, telling her that she was sick and tired of carrying Charlotte to relevancy.

"Sherry may be worried about the unorthodox offense that Zia provides, especially since Zia does hold a pinfall victory over the champion, but we can see that Clover has snapped at Charlotte!" Okabe exclaimed as Charlotte slapped Clover in the face for the insult. Jerry tried to get into the middle of the two girls and keep them from fighting each other, but this didn't help as Charlotte and Clover began exchanging punches with each other as Jerry tried to push Clover away from Charlotte. Charlotte told Clover that her big mouth was going to get her into some serious trouble while Zia looked over at what was going on, and laughed at what was going on.

"Zia seems to be enjoying what's going on outside of the ring, but she has to keep her focus on the BTWF World Women's Championship Elimination Chamber match coming up in three weeks," Cornette explained as Zia continued celebrating in the ring as the camera panned to the backstage area, where Zoey Hanson was laying down on the bench, with her leg still taped up. Zoey was breathing heavily in frustration while pinching her nose but looked up when she saw Ochako Uraraka walk up to her.

"Hey Zoey, I know you haven't really been having the best of luck lately-" Ochako started before Zoey sat back up, and glared at Ochako.

"Look, whatever it is, I'm not interested. I…just want some time to think," Zoey said, gritting her teeth to prevent her voice from getting louder and turning into a scream. Ochako backed away with her hands in the air before continuing to talk to an irritated Zoey with a smile on her face.

"Hear me out, Zoey. Zia got into the World Women's Championship Elimination Chamber match, and I'm going to need a partner for the Women's Tag Team Championship #1 contenders Battle Royal at the Last Gasp PPV," Ochako explained as Zoey raised an eyebrow, putting a hand on her chin as if she was thinking about what Ochako said.

"So…you want me to be your partner?" Zoey asked the annoyance in her voice had been replaced with confusion and interest.

"Not only that, but you would be a great member of Zero Gravity. Both me and Zia think that you have a lot of potential, and since you have another month before you can challenge for the BTWF World Women's Championship again, we felt like you should at least have another chance at gold. So…what do you say?" Ochako asked. Zoey started stroking her chin in thought, but those thoughts were interrupted by Azula coming in with Ty Lee and Mai.

"It must be really sad Zoey. Becoming such a loser that you've downgraded from fighting for the Women's title on PPV to becoming the whipping girl for Zero Gravity. Not that I would know anything about that, but it's still really funny," Azula mocked, putting a hand over her mouth to badly hide the fact that she was chuckling as Ty Lee chuckled from behind Azula. Zoey walked up to Azula, and glared at her, with Mai and Ty Lee stepping up to Zoey to offer their leader protection.

"You really shouldn't be talking. I may have lost at the Battle Riot, but so did your team. Plus, you're not exactly in any shape to fight with that broken arm, so you might want to back the hell off," Zoey threatened, pushing Azula back. Ty Lee glared at Zoey, and kicked her right in the leg, sending her falling down before pulling Azula back. Before Azula or Ty Lee could say anything, Sanity's 'Controlled Chaos' theme song played across the hallway, and Mai began pulling Ty Lee and Azula out of the locker room.

"Ignore these losers, we have another match to win," Mai said as Azula and Ty Lee glared at Ochako and Zoey before following Mai out to the stage. Ochako put a hand on Zoey's shoulder for support, but Zoey shook her hand off before walking off. The camera panned to the stage, where Sanity's 'Controlled Chaos' theme song continued playing as spotlights began roaming around the arena, looking for Azula and her team, until the spotlight stopped at Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee in the center of the stage.

"The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, accompanied to the ring by Azula, they are the team of Ty Lee and Mai!" Mary Hughes announced. The crowd continued booing as Ty Lee attempted to rush at several fans who were booing them, but Azula grabbed Ty Lee, pulled her back, and started stroking her hair to calm her down. Mai simply glared at the booing fans as Azula finally let Ty Lee go, allowing her to walk to the ring on her own.

"Ty Lee and Mai have been getting the better of Alex Vasquez for the last month, and Alex has said that she has a partner that can get her the victory against Azula's girls," Cornette explained as Mai, Ty Lee, and Azula stopped at ringside, raised their fists in the air, and then walked up to the steel ring apron. The lights began coming back on as Azula, Ty Lee, and Mai raised their heads and fists up at the same time, but once the song's beat dropped, Ty Lee immediately jumped into the ring and started smashing her head onto the top turnbuckle.

"Well Ty Lee seems excited about this match, but she always seems excited about delivering punishment to her opponents," Cornette quipped as Azula and Mai followed Ty Lee in the ring as Ty Lee continued running and jumping around the ring. Azula and Mai glared at the booing fans while Ty Lee kipped back up to her feet and walked to her teammates, allowing Azula to once again stroke Ty Lee's hair. The camera then panned to the stage, where 'Dear Future Self' by Fall Out Boy played, causing the crowd to cheer as Alex came running out of the back, cartwheeling to the center of the stage.

"And introducing their opponents first, from Beverly Hills California by way of Monterrey Mexico, she is Alex Vasquez!" Mary Hughes announced. Alex smiled at the cheering crowd once she landed back on her feet. Azula smirked as she told Alex to show them who her partner is, causing Alex to respond with a wink and a thumbs-up before pointing to the back. The crowd continued cheering, but even louder, as 'Lovefurypassionenergy' by Boy Hits Car played, and Misato came running out of the back.

"And her partner, from Tokyo Japan, she is BTWF Hall of Famer, Misato Katsuragi!" Mary Hughes announced as Alex and Misato hugged each other in the center of the stage. Azula and Mai simply glared at the newly-created team while Ty Lee freaked out behind them by rolling around in the ring and bouncing on the canvas. Alex and Misato gave each other a fist bump before walking down the entrance ramp, high-fiving several fans who had their hands outstretched over the fan barricade.

"After Misato's performance in her BTWF World Women's Championship match at Legends Night, Alex made an excellent pick for a partner!" Beth exclaimed as Ty Lee ran up to the ropes, yelling at Alex and Misato that they were going to get destroyed with Azula pulling Ty Lee back while continuing to glower at this makeshift team. Misato slid down to the entranceway to the ringside area, landing on her knees and pointing to both sides of the arena as Alex ran up behind her.

"Azula doesn't look too impressed, and merely angered at the legend that Alex brought in to fight them," Okabe explained as Misato jumped back up to her feet, and gave Alex another hi-five before she ran up the steel steps while Alex rolled underneath the bottom rope. Alex attempted to confront Azula, but she immediately went out of the ring, telling them that Ty Lee and Mai will destroy them. Alex and Misato talked it over, with Alex deciding to start the match along with Mai. The referee saw that both teams were ready, and told the timekeeper to ring the bell, and when the bell rang, Mai and Alex immediately locked up in the middle of the ring. The crowd booed as Mai was able to push Alex into the corner, but Alex was immediately able to push Mai out of the corner and hit her with several punches to the side of the head.

"Alex not letting Mai overpower her, sending her out of the corner with some hard punches to the side of the head!" Okabe exclaimed as the crowd continued cheering when Alex knocked Mai down with a Standing Discus Forearm before running the ropes and hitting Mai with a Spinning Heel Kick. The crowd continued cheering as Alex grabbed Mai by the hair, and hit her with several more punches to the side of the head, but Mai was able to block one of the punches and hit Alex with a throat thrust. The crowd booed as Mai grabbed Alex by the hair, and hit her with several punches to the side of the face before attempting to throw her into her corner, but Alex knocked Ty Lee off of the apron with a punch to the side of the head, and then springboarded off of the middle rope to hit Mai with a Springboard Diving Crossbody before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…

Mai kicked out, and Alex responded by rolling away from Mai, who tried to grab her leg, but Alex was still able to tag Misato into the match, causing the crowd to cheer louder.

"And we're seeing Misato tagged into the match, who looks like a kid at a candy store!" Cornette exclaimed as Misato jumped onto the top rope, and when Mai got back to her feet, hit her with a Missile Dropkick, sending Mai staggering into the corner. Misato ran the ropes and hit a Running Back Elbow to the side of Mai's head. However, Ty Lee was able to tag herself in, causing the crowd to boo as Ty Lee ran into the ring, grabbed Misato by the hair, and started punching her in the side and back of the head. The crowd booed as Ty Lee punched Misato enough to send her to her knees before putting her in a headlock. Ty Lee continued raining down punches on the top of Misato's head, but Misato was able to get back to her feet and hit Ty Lee with a Back Suplex.

"All those punches aren't doing anything to prevent Misato from shifting her weight, allowing her to hit a beautiful Back Suplex onto Ty Lee," Okabe explained as Misato hit a couple of leg drops across Ty Lee's throat before hitting her with a Standing Moonsault. The crowd continued cheering as Misato dragged Ty Lee to her corner, and tagged Alex back into the match. Misato picked Ty Lee up, and hit her with a Scoop Slam, allowing Alex to springboard from the apron onto Ty Lee with a Springboard Tope Con Hilo before going for another pin, hooking both of her legs back.

Ref: 1…2

"Alex and Misato already showing off some decent chemistry as a tag team, and you can tell that Mai and Ty Lee are surprised at the chemistry of this makeshift tag team, and that's why they're being dominated right now," Okabe continued explaining as Alex grabbed Ty Lee, and threw her into the corner. The crowd continued cheering as Alex ran the ropes, and hit a Corner Spinning Heel Kick before throwing her out of the corner with a Corner Headscissors. Alex then jumped onto the middle rope and hit her with a Diving Back Elbow to the chest, but before Alex could go for the pin, Mai knocked Alex down with a Running Double Ax Handle to the back of the head.

"Mai realized that her team was in some trouble, and is coming into the match illegally without the required tag!" Beth exclaimed as Mai started clubbing Alex in the back and the back of the head. Misato then came back into the ring, hit Mai with a Running Dropkick to the chest, and rolled her out of the ring. Meanwhile, while Alex was dazed, Ty Lee kneed Alex in the gut a couple of times and attempted to hit a Springboard Hurricanrana, but Alex was able to land on her feet. The crowd exploded into cheers as Ty Lee attempted to run at Alex, but she was able to counter Ty Lee's attempt at an attack with a Flapjack before running the ropes and hitting a Jumping Leg Drop across the back of Ty Lee's head.

"Alex dominating Ty Lee in the middle of the ring, showing just how much Azula's girls have gotten under her skin!" Okabe exclaimed as outside of the ring, Misato pushed Mai away, attempting to hit her with a Running Crossbody, but the crowd booed as Mai was able to counter this by hitting her with a Snap Powerslam onto the padded concrete. Azula applauded as Mai grabbed Misato, and threw her into the steel ring post with enough force to send her chest and face crashing into the steel ring post. Meanwhile, in the ring, Alex grabbed Ty Lee and attempted to throw her into the corner, but Ty Lee slid out of the ring rather than crashing into the corner.

"Ty Lee making the smart decision of leaving the ring to get a break from Alex's offense," Cornette noted as Alex responded by running the ropes, and attempting to hit both Ty Lee and Mai with a Suicide Dive, but the crowd booed as Ty Lee and Mai were able to catch Alex from midair. Ty Lee and Mai smirked and nodded at each other before hitting Alex with a Double Brainbuster onto the padded concrete, with the crowd booing louder as Ty Lee ran up to Azula and nearly knocked her down with an early celebratory hug while Mai shot both of her fists up.

"What a way to get momentum on their side! Ty Lee and Mai just planted Alex on the padded concrete with a Double Brainbuster!" Cornette exclaimed. Ty Lee grabbed Alex by the hair and started smashing her face into the top of the announcers' table as Ty Lee threw Alex back into Mai, who hit her with a Back Suplex, sending Alex's back crashing into the padded concrete floor. Ty Lee yelled at the referee to shut up as she told them to get back into the ring, and while the referee was arguing with Ty Lee, Azula snuck in several stomps to the back of Misato's head before finishing her sneak attack off with a kick to the face hard enough to send her on her back.

Ref: 1…2…3

"Azula getting some hard strikes in on Misato, making sure she stays down while her girls maintain their focus on Alex," Okabe noted as Mai grabbed Alex by the hair, and threw her to Ty Lee, allowing Ty Lee to hit Alex with a Knee Lift to the side of the head. While Alex was staggering, Mai hit Alex with a Clothesline to the back of the head, sending her on all fours before Ty Lee ran at Alex, and hit her with a Jumping Knee Drop across Alex's back. The crowd continued booing as the two started stomping on Alex while Azula encouraged them to keep going, with Ty Lee going down and punching Alex in the face multiple times.

Ref: …4…5…6

"Ty Lee and Mai not giving Alex any room to breathe as they lay in the boots to Alex's back and neck!" Beth exclaimed as Mai grabbed Alex and threw her back into the ring, telling Ty Lee to get back in the ring. Ty Lee nodded before she climbed up to the ring apron, springboarded back into the ring, and hit Alex with a Springboard Leg Drop across the throat. The crowd continued booing as Ty Lee picked Alex up by the hair, threw her into the corner, and hit her with a Running Jumping Corner Clothesline before tagging Mai back into the match. Mai jumped over the top rope and into the ring before hitting Alex with several back elbows to the side of the head.

"Mai showing off her striking ability with some hard elbows to the side of the head," Okabe noted as Mai held Alex in place in the corner with her right elbow, allowing Ty Lee to run into the corner and hit a Running Corner Dropkick to the side of Alex's head. Mai then turned around and threw Alex out of the corner with an Exploder Suplex before bridging into a pin while Azula was nodding in approval outside of the ring.

Ref: 1…2.

Misato tried to get back to her feet, but Mai noticed this and hit her with a Baseball Slide with enough force to send her crashing back first into the fan barricade.

"Mai making sure that Misato doesn't get back onto the apron, making sure that they have unfettered access to a downed Alex!" Okabe exclaimed as Mai turned back around, and started stomping on Alex's chest and face before hitting her with a Jumping Elbow Drop. Mai then jumped back up to her feet and hit a Pendulum Elbow Drop to Alex's chest before beginning to choke her with her foot. Mai then tagged Ty Lee back into the match, and while Ty Lee was getting into the ring, Mai grabbed Alex and put her in a Fireman's Carry position. Mai then hit Alex with a Fireman's Carry Gutbuster, keeping Alex on her knee afterwards, allowing Ty Lee to run the ropes, and hit a Running Basement Dropkick to the side of Alex's head.

"Ty Lee almost took Alex's head off with the speed and force of that Dropkick!" Beth exclaimed as Ty Lee laid Alex down on her back, and started hitting her with several Leg Drops across the throat before running the ropes, and hitting a Cartwheel into a Jumping Leg Drop across Alex's throat. The crowd continued booing as Ty Lee put Alex on her knees, and started hitting her with several punches to the side of the head before running the ropes, and hitting Alex in the back of the head with a Shining Wizard. Alex grabbed Ty Lee by the hair, dragged her to the corner, and tagged Mai into the match, with Misato finally getting back to her feet on the outside.

"Misato is trying to get up on the outside, and hopefully Alex can turn this match around so that she can get the tag!" Beth exclaimed as Mai picked Alex up, and hit her with a Front Suplex, sending her chest onto the top rope. Mai then held Alex in a dangling position while Ty Lee climbed up to the top rope and hit Alex in the back with a Diving Foot Stomp while Mai continued hanging her in place. Mai then picked Alex back up and hit her with a Snap Vertical Suplex before floating over into a pin.

Ref: 1…2

"I'd be surprised if Alex's back wasn't reduced to dust after that Diving Foot Stomp!" Okabe exclaimed as Mai put Alex in a seated position, kicked her in the back, and locked her in a Chinlock. Mai then pointed at a still groggy Misato trying to climb back up to the apron and told Alex to make the tag, mockingly grabbing one of her arms, and stretching it out closer to her corner. Before Alex could respond, Mai grabbed Alex by the hair and smashed the back of her head against the mat before putting her back in a Rear Chinlock. The crowd clapped and chanted for Alex as she began trying to get back to her feet, hitting Mai a couple of times with Back Elbows to the side of the head.

"Alex attempting to escape with some hard Back Elbows and you can see that Mai's grip on the Chinlock is loosening!" Cornette exclaimed as Alex hit Mai in the gut a couple of times with back kicks before Springboarding onto the middle rope, and hitting Mai with a Springboard Kick. The crowd cheered as Alex started crawling to her corner, trying to reach Misato, who looked like she wanted to get in there as quickly as possible. However, the crowd booed as Ty Lee ran into the ring, used Alex's back as a platform, and knocked Misato off of the ring apron with a Running Forearm to the face.

"Ty Lee once again able to send Misato flying off of the ring apron, preventing Alex from making the tag!" Cornette exclaimed as Ty Lee dragged Alex back to the center of the ring. Alex was able to kip back up to her one free foot, causing the crowd to cheer as she hit Ty Lee with an Enziguri, sending her staggering into the corner. Mai was able to take advantage of this distraction by hitting Alex with a Running Knee to the back, sending Alex falling on her face before going into the corner, and putting Ty Lee on the apron. Mai then tagged Ty Lee back into the match, and the two of them grabbed Alex and attempted to hit her with a Double Snap Vertical Suplex.

"Some good teamwork on display here by Azula's warriors here!" Beth exclaimed. However, as Mai and Ty Lee picked Alex up, Alex was able to pivot her hips, allowing her to counter the Double Suplex attempt into a Double DDT on both Mai and Ty Lee. The crowd went back to cheering as Alex began pulling herself back up to her feet, as a motivated and furious Mai jumped back onto the apron, causing the crowd to cheer louder as Alex finally got back to her feet, staggering to the corner. Azula attempted to pull Misato back off of the apron, but Misato hit Azula in the face with a kick hard enough to send her down before Alex tagged her back into the match, causing the crowd to cheer as Misato started climbing up to the top rope.

"Misato is finally back in the match, and she looks like she's got something major planned for Ty Lee and Mai!" Okabe exclaimed as Misato noticed Mai and Ty Lee staggering on their feet, and hit them both with a Diving Crossbody, causing the crowd to cheer as Misato grabbed Mai, and hit her with an Impaler DDT before rolling her out of the ring. When Ty Lee got back to her feet, Misato hit Ty Lee with two Clotheslines, a Running Double Ax Handle, and a Flapjack, before picking Ty Lee up, and hitting her with another Impaler DDT before going for the pinfall, hooking both of her legs back.

Ref: 1…2.

"Ty Lee almost getting taken down with the Impaler DDT, nearly sending her head crashing through the canvas with the force of that DDT!" Okabe exclaimed as Misato picked Ty Lee up, and hit her with several Knife-Edge Chops to the chest. Ty Lee staggered to the ropes, and when Misato walked over to her, this allowed Ty Lee to throw her out of the ring through the middle ropes, but Misato was able to land on her feet. Azula attempted to once again attack Misato, but Misato replied by grabbing her and attempting to hit her with the Twist of Fate. However, the crowd booed as Ty Lee hit a Basement Slide Dropkick to the side of Misato's head, sending her staggering by the announcers' table.

"Ty Lee coming to the aid of her leader/friend/…lover I guess, their relationship status is still unknown," Cornette explained as Ty Lee grabbed Misato, picked her up in a Fireman's Carry, and slammed her face and chin first onto the top of the announcers' table. Mai then distracted the referee as Ty Lee held both of Misato's arms behind her back, allowing Azula to use her good arm, and slap Misato in the face a couple of times. Ty Lee then grabbed Misato by the hair, threw her back into the ring, and while Misato was on her knees, Ty Lee springboarded back into the ring and hit Misato with a Slingshot DDT before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

"Misato barely kicking out of that DDT, and you can see Azula getting more impatient on the outside!" Beth exclaimed as Mai ran into the ring, and hit Alex in the face with a Running Forearm, stunning her on the apron before putting Misato in a Reverse STO position. Ty Lee nodded, and ran the ropes before springboarding off of the middle rope, and hitting Misato with a Springboard Dropkick to the back of the head at the same time Mai hit Misato with an STO before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

Ty Lee and Mai looked completely beside themselves as Misato barely kicked out, but the referee forced Mai to get back into the corner. Mai listened, got onto the apron, and Ty Lee immediately went into the corner to tag Mai back in the match. Mai slithered into the ring, grabbed Misato, and put her in position for a Russian Legsweep, telling Ty Lee to hit the Running Single Leg Dropkick. Ty Lee licked her lips and nodded before running the ropes, but while Ty Lee was still running, Misato was able to hit Mai with a Back Elbow to the throat, causing the crowd to cheer as she was able to slip out of Mai's grasp. The crowd began cheering louder as Misato countered an oncoming Ty Lee with a Spanish Fly.

"What a move by Misato! She's able to take out both of Azula's warriors in a matter of seconds!" Beth exclaimed as Misato grabbed Ty Lee, threw her out of the ring, picked Mai back up, and hit her with the Twist of Fate. Misato then tagged Alex back into the match and then ran the ropes to hit a Suicide Dive onto Azula, knocking her down while Alex climbed up to the top rope. The crowd cheered as Alex took off her elbow pad while Mai was staggering back to her feet while holding her head, and when she did, Alex dived off of the top rope to hit Mai with the 450 Clothesline before going for the pinfall.

*Bell Rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, the team of Alex Vasquez and Misato Katsuragi!" Mary Hughes announced as Alex kipped back up to her feet, immediately holding her ribs in pain and coughing due to the lack of air, and raised her fist in victory. Misato smiled on the outside as she gave Azula one last kick to the side of the face before rolling back into the ring, and hugging Alex while the crowd continued cheering. Ty Lee grabbed Mai by the arm and pulled her out of the ring while helping her back to her feet and glaring at the fans cheering for Alex and Misato.

"Alex finally getting one over on Azula and her minions! It's been a difficult few months for Alex, but having a legend by her side like Misato seems to have given some of her confidence back!" Beth exclaimed as Alex moved out of the way to let the crowd cheer on Misato. Misato took in the 'You Still Got It!' chants before patting Alex on the shoulder, moving her closer to the center of the ring, and showing her off to the crowd, telling her that this may be the beginning of a beautiful partnership.

"I think Misato would agree with you, Beth! And Misato seems to be implying that she and Alex may be a team for the foreseeable future!" Cornette exclaimed as Alex nodded as the two shook hands. Meanwhile, Azula staggered back to Ty Lee and Mai as she told them that this was only one loss, and next time they wouldn't be caught off guard like they were tonight. Ty Lee looked over Azula with concern, but Azula told her that she'll be fine and that they needed to go back to the drawing board for their next match.

"If Misato and Alex are going to be a team going forward, the women's tag team champions may be in trouble," Okabe explained as the camera panned to the back, where the Chaos Conspiracy (Joe Wolf, Charlie Bonifer, Owen, and Manabo) were standing next to Todd Grisham, with Joe and Charlie showing off their BTWF World Tag Team Championships.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the Chaos Conspiracy, who not only retained their BTWF World Tag Team Championships at Legends Night, but Owen confronted BTWF Champion Natsu Dragneel at the end of the show. I just want to know how you guys are feeling right now," Todd explained as Joe walked in front of the rest of his teammates, and leaned the microphone closer to his mouth.

"Todd, we're feeling on top of the world right now. I mean, look at us; we got rid of the dead weight that was holding us back, and we're still not only the top team on Octane, but Owen's going to be the next top guy in the BTWF when he takes the BTWF Championship with him," Joe explained as Todd nodded before taking the microphone back.

"Since Owen has made it clear that he's going after the BTWF Championship, does he have any preference as to who he wants to win the main event?" Todd asked as Joe looked over at an upset-looking Owen, and rolled his eyes while chuckling, before responding.

"Honestly, it doesn't matter whether Natsu retains his belt or Soul wins the title because Owen will decimate them and bring the championship to the Chaos Conspiracy. And once we're all holding gold, we're going to rule Octane and shove our success down every single one of our critics' throats!" Joe exclaimed as Bonifer and Manabo nodded and patted him on the back with support before Todd took the microphone back.

"One last question; you said that you all are looking for gold. So, what gold is Manabo going after?" Todd asked. Manabo walked over to Todd and smirked at him before patting him patronizingly on the side of the head.

"That's none of your business. If you want to find out, you're going to find out at the same time all these loser fans do," Manabo said before pushing Todd away, laughing as the rest of the Chaos Conspiracy. However, the laughter from the Chaos Conspiracy ended when Death the Kid came riding in on his skateboard. Kid jumped off of his skateboard, stomped on the side of the skateboard, and picked it up before leaning Todd's microphone closer to his mouth.

"It's nice to know that you all have plans for the future, but you know, I have plans for the future too," Death explained as Joe rolled his eyes, with Bonifer telling him that nobody cared. "Oh, you don't? Well, I think you should, because with me eliminating both you and Joe from the Battle Riot, I think I deserve an opportunity at the tag team championships. And I also beat Manabo as well, so maybe I deserve two shots at the championships," Kid joked as Bonifer and Manabo walked over to him, glowering down at him as Kid was chuckling at his joke proposition.

"Getting a couple of lucky victories doesn't mean anything, but if you think that you can challenge us, then next week, be ready to wrestle because we're going to find an opponent for you. And I'm so confident that you're going to lose next week that if you win, we'll give you three chances to become BTWF World Tag Team Champions," Joe offered, extending his hand to Kid. Kid raised an eyebrow, and reached to shake his hand, but Joe slapped him in the face. This allowed Bonifer and Manabo to club and stomp on Kid before throwing him down to the floor, allowing Owen to hit Kid with a Leg Drop across the throat and the chest. Joe looked over at a worried-looking Todd Grisham before smirking.

"And THAT is why you don't mess with the Chaos Conspiracy!" Joe exclaimed as he and the rest of the group left the interview area as the camera panned to a commercial break.

*Commercial Break*

*Commercial Over*

The camera panned to a locker room, where Valentino Calavera and Frida Suarez were waiting, sitting on the bench with Frida leaning her head on Valentino's shoulders.

"Where are Baam and Rachel? I mean, I'm not one to want to see Rachel, but we need to go over a game plan to become tag champions again," Frida wondered out loud as she continued leaning into Valentino's arms. Valentino rubbed the top of her head in comfort, but before he could say anything to make her feel better, Rachel and Baam walked into the locker room, but Rachel looked angry while Baam looked down at the ground, looking like he was worried about what was about to happen.

"About time you showed up," Frida mumbled, causing Rachel to shoot her head up at Frida, and glare at her.

"Don't start with me today, Suarez! Look, Baam and I talked, and we decided that this team isn't going to continue," Rachel explained, much to the shock of Frida and Valentino. They looked at Baam for some sort of confirmation or answer, but Baam couldn't look them in the eye as he nodded in confirmation.

"Rachel, this is a complete overreaction! We may have failed to get the championships back now, but we can still-," Valentino tried to say, attempting to reason with Rachel, but she was having none of it as she put a hand in front of Valentino's face.

"Look, we had our fun as a team, and some success, but it's smart for Baam and I to move on to bigger and better things. And that starts next week when you and Baam face off in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match," Rachel explained as Baam once again nodded in confirmation, but still couldn't look Frida or Valentino in the eye. Valentino sighed in annoyance, pinched the bridge of his nose, and nodded before looking over at Baam.

"Baam, I know that you and I are friends, but I'm not going to hold back on you, especially when an opportunity at the BTWF Championship is on the line," Valentino explained, with Frida grabbing Valentino's arm and nodding in agreement. Baam looked as though he was about to respond verbally, but Rachel stepped in front of him and poked her finger into Valentino's chest.

"You don't know what you're getting into. Baam and I know everything about you and your move set, and I doubt your little troll girlfriend is going to do anything either!" Rachel exclaimed. Valentino glared at Rachel for the insult directed at his girlfriend, and Frida looked as though she was going to launch herself at Rachel, but Valentino pulled her back as Rachel led Baam out of the locker room. Valentino and Frida glared at the door and began stewing about all the things that Rachel had just said before the camera panned to the stage, where 'Balboa' by Blind Channel played, causing the crowd to cheer as Eren Jeager came running out of the back, looking excited to be back in a BTWF Octane show.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, representing BTWF Evolve, from the Shiganshina District in Wall Rose, Paradis Island, Eren Jeager!" Mary Hughes announced as the crowd continued cheering as Eren jumped off of the center of the stage, spinning in the air as he landed on the center of the entranceway. Eren high-fived several members of the crowd who had their hands out, telling Kaworu that he was going to make it 0-2 for him this week.

"Eren has been having issues with Kaworu and Senku since he began making appearances on Octane last month," Beth explained as Eren, once he got to the ringside area, ran to the corner of the fan barricade, and high-fived several fans that were behind him with their hands outstretched for the high-fives. Eren then ran up the steel steps, jumped up to the top turnbuckle, and shot both of his fists in the air as the crowd continued cheering and chanting his name.

"This past Tuesday on the first ever BTWF Evolve, Eren was able to defeat both Yuji Itadori and Rekka to advance in the BTWF Evolve Championship Tournament, so he's looking to gain some extra momentum by defeating the former BTWF Champion," Okabe explained as Eren jumped down into the center of the ring, keeping his fists up. Eren then went into the corner as Damien Sandow's 2014 'Hallelujah' theme song played, causing the crowd's cheers to turn into jeers as Kaworu came out with not only his blue and gold robe but Senku in tow.

"And his opponent, accompanied to the ring by Senku Ishigami, from Tokyo Japan, Kaworu Nagisa!" Mary Hughes announced. The crowd continued booing as Kaworu gave the jeering crowd a curtsy before he and Senku made their way down the entrance ramp. Multiple fans told Kaworu that he sucked, and he simply responded with a laugh as he and Senku started going over battle plans with each other while Eren jumped in the corner, anticipating getting his hands on Kaworu.

"Eren looks jacked to be in this match, and who can blame him? This could be the biggest win of his BTWF career," Cornette noted as Kaworu took off his robe on the entranceway, gave the booing crowd another curtsy, and handed the robe to Senku before walking over to the steel steps. Kaworu walked up the steel steps, raised his hand in the air, and then jumped over the top rope to come into the ring. The crowd continued booing as Kaworu walked over to the center of the ring, and gave a royal wave to the BTWF fans in the audience before turning to Eren.

"Let's not get too ahead of ourselves, Jim. Kaworu is a former world champion, and Eren does tend to act before he thinks, which is the exact type of thing that Kaworu is going to take advantage of," Okabe countered as Eren flipped Kaworu off, causing the crowd to cheer as Kaworu almost snorted from laughter. The referee made sure both men were ready before telling the timekeeper to ring the bell, starting the match. Once the bell rang, Eren and Kaworu locked up in the center of the ring, with the crowd cheering as Eren started wrenching Kaworu's arm. The crowd continued cheering as Eren started clubbing the center of Kaworu's arm before taking him down to a Japanese Arm Drag.

"You may want to eat those words, Okabe! Eren's spending the early time of this match targeting the arm of the former BTWF Champion!" Beth exclaimed as Kaworu pushed Eren away when he tried to put him in an armbar. However, when Kaworu got back up, Eren kicked Kaworu several times in the right arm before running the ropes and hitting him with a Running Japanese Arm Drag. The crowd continued cheering as Eren locked Kaworu in a Fujiwara Armbar, slapping him a couple of times in the back of the head, provoking Kaworu to roll back on his feet, wrench Eren's arm, and attempted to take him down with a Hip Toss, but Eren was able to land in his feet, and hit Kaworu in the shoulder with a Jumping Dropkick, sending him staggering into the ropes.

"What a Dropkick by the BTWF newcomer, nearly popping the shoulder out of the socket!" Cornette exclaimed as Eren ran the ropes, and hit a Tilt-a-Whirl Arm Drag on Kaworu, taking him down before putting him in a Hammerlock. Eren flipped off an irate Senku while continuing to wrench on Kaworu's arm, but Kaworu was able to once again roll back on his feet after another moment in the hold and hit Eren a couple of times in the side of the face with back elbows before throwing Eren overhead with a Snapmare. Kaworu then ran the ropes and attempted to hit Eren with a Running Seated Clothesline, but Eren was able to duck down, and roll Kaworu up with a Sunset Flip.

Ref: 1…

"Eren almost getting an upset roll-up on Kaworu!" Beth exclaimed as before Eren could move, Kaworu kicked Eren in the face several times before picking him back up by the hair and hitting him with several punches to the side of the head. Kaworu then attempted to throw Eren into the corner, but the crowd cheered as Eren jumped up to the top turnbuckle, and dived off of the top rope with a Diving Back Elbow, hitting Kaworu right in the face.

"What an amazing display of athleticism by Eren! That Back Elbow could've broken Kaworu's nose!" Cornette exclaimed as Eren put Kaworu on his knees, wrung Kaworu's right arm, and sent his arm crashing into the mat before hitting a Jumping Twisting Elbow Drop to the back and shoulder area of Kaworu's right arm. The crowd continued to cheer as Eren picked Kaworu up, and Irish whipped him into the corner before running after him and hitting Kaworu in the back of the head and shoulder with a Running Corner Dropkick.

"A very interesting aspect of Eren's offense is that he's using moves that normally target other parts of the body to also target the shoulder and right arm. I may have been wrong about him not thinking before he acts," Okabe admitted as Eren grabbed Kaworu in a Waistlock, put him on the middle turnbuckle, kicked Kaworu in the back of the head, and then jumped up onto the middle rope to hit Kaworu with a Back Suplex right from the middle rope. The crowd continued cheering as Eren ran the ropes, and springboarded off of the middle rope to hit a Springboard Moonsault to Kaworu's chest before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2

"Kaworu kicking out once again, but Eren has been able to dominate the early parts of this match!" Beth exclaimed as Eren grabbed Kaworu's leg, and attempted to lock him in the Wall Maria (Single Leg Boston Crab with a Knee Pressing against the Back of the Head). However, Kaworu poked Eren in the eye, causing the crowd to boo as Kaworu pushed Eren into the ropes, and hit Eren with a Running Clothesline, sending Eren over the top rope and onto the floor. The crowd booed as Kaworu stretched his right arm before sliding out of the ring from underneath the bottom rope, and while waiting for Eren to get up, Kaworu nodded at a smiling Senku. When Eren got up, Kaworu attempted to hit Eren with a Harley Race Knee Lift, but Eren was able to dodge, and responded with several punches to the side of Kaworu's head, sending him staggering to the side of the steel steps.

Ref: 1…2…3

"Eren with some hard Southpaw punches to the side of Eren's head!" Cornette exclaimed as Eren attempted to hit Kaworu with another punch to the head, but Kaworu was able to dodge, grab Eren by the hair, and slam the back of his head into the side of the steel steps. The crowd booed and Senku winced at the impact of Eren's head hitting the steel while Kaworu started pushing the back of Eren's head into the side of the steel steps with his foot. Kaworu then let go of Eren, stomped on his chest and face multiple times, and then backed away, once again smirking at Senku, silently telling him to watch for his next lesson.

"Kaworu showcasing the aggressiveness that Natsu brought out of him during their BTWF Championship feud last year!" Okabe exclaimed as Kaworu ran back at Eren, hitting him with a Running Basement Dropkick to the face, sending the back of his head once again bouncing off of the side of the steel steps. The back of Eren's head began bleeding as Kaworu grabbed Eren by the hair, and hit him with several punches to the side of the face before throwing him into the announcers' table chest first. While Eren was holding his chest and coughing, Kaworu grabbed the back of Eren's head and slammed his face into the announcers' table a couple of times. However, Kaworu then turned Eren's head around and slammed the back of his head into the announcers' table.

Ref: …6…7…8

"Ugh! You can see the blood from Eren's head in the center of our announcers' table!" Beth exclaimed in disgust as Kaworu grabbed Eren by the back of the tights and hair, and then threw him into the ring. Kaworu curtsied the crowd, much to their chagrin, before rolling back into the ring, and pinning Eren, hooking both of his legs back.

Ref: 1…2..

Kaworu grabbed Eren by the head and started hitting him with multiple elbow strikes to the top of the head before putting him in a seated position, running the ropes, and hitting Eren with a Running Seated Clothesline. The crowd booed as Kaworu stretched his right arm, slightly wincing as Kaworu stomped on Eren's face and chest before running the ropes, and hitting a Jumping Leg Drop across the throat. Kaworu then picked Eren back up, put him in a Half-Nelson, and started kneeing him in the gut multiple times before letting go of a dazed Eren, running the ropes, and sending Eren into the corner with a Running Harley Race Knee to the side of the face.

"Oh! A Knee right to the face, sending the back of Eren's head crashing into the turnbuckle!" Okabe exclaimed, wincing slightly as Kaworu ran into the corner, and hit a Running Knee Strike to the side of Eren's head before throwing him out of the corner with a Snapmare. Senku applauded Eren on the outside as Kaworu kicked Eren in the back of the head before running the ropes, and hitting a Neck Snap to Eren. The crowd booed as Kaworu began pushing his foot into the top of Eren's forehead, and then hit a Jumping Stomp onto the top of Eren's forehead. Kaworu then backed into the ropes, and ran up to Eren, hitting him with a Jumping Knee Drop to the top of the head.

"Kaworu continuing to target the head of Eren, which isn't helping the gash on the back of his head," Cornette noted as the referee knelt down, put on some gloves, and checked the back of Eren's head. The crowd booed loudly as Kaworu jumped onto the middle turnbuckle, and gave the crowd another mocking curtsy. Once the referee moved away from Eren, telling Kaworu and the ringside attendant that he was good to go, and then hit a Middle Rope Backwards Diving Elbow Drop onto Eren's chest before going for a pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

Kaworu dragged Eren by the hair into the ropes, draped his head over the middle rope, and started hitting him with multiple Crossface Shots across the face. The referee pulled Kaworu away and while he was distracted, Senku hit a couple of punches to the side of Eren's head. Senku backed away, preparing for a Drive-By Kick, but the crowd exploded into cheers as BTWF United States Champion Shinji Ikari came out of the back, telling Senku to back off. Senku did so, telling Shinji he better not try and cost Kaworu the match.

"The United States Champion is here, and is looking to provide some backup for the BTWF Evolve hopeful!" Beth exclaimed as Kaworu hit a Leaping Body Guillotine to Eren's back before throwing him away from the ropes, sending his back and the back of his head crashing into the ring canvas. Kaworu noticed that Shinji was there, and simply smirked at him before noticing that Eren was in a seated position, and hit him in the side of the head with a Running Big Boot before going for another pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

"Kaworu doesn't seem annoyed that Shinji is out here, and rather looks…satisfied," Okabe noted as Kaworu grabbed Eren, put him in a Modified Camel Clutch, and while choking him with the hold, Kaworu rammed his knee into Eren's back and the back of Eren's head before continuing to choke him with the Modified Camel Clutch. Eren attempted to pull himself to the ropes, but Kaworu was able to drag him back to the center of the ring by pulling him with his hair. However, Eren was able to pull himself back to his feet while Kaworu was pulling his head back, and Eren responded to this by hitting Kaworu in the gut with several Elbow strikes to the midsection.

"Eren trying to fight back with some hard strikes to the midsection, and Shinji is cheering him on from the outside!" Beth exclaimed as Eren attempted to jump up and over Kaworu, but Kaworu was able to turn around and knock Eren to his knees with a hard punch to the side of the head. The crowd began booing again as Kaworu grabbed Eren, and attempted to hit him with the Final Request (Full Nelson Slam), but the crowd cheered as Eren grabbed Kaworu's arm, and slammed it into his shoulder multiple times.

"Eren continuing the attack on the arm that he started at the beginning of the match, which is a smart way to render the Final Request ineffective," Okabe explained as Kaworu hit several knee strikes to Eren's gut, and then attempted to hit him with a DDT, but the crowd cheered as Eren was able to counter this into a Bridging Northern Lights Suplex for a pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

Kaworu broke free of the pin, shocked that he was almost pinned there, but he still went after Eren, who dodged the Clothesline attempt, and hit Kaworu with a Pele Kick to the right shoulder. Eren then ran the ropes and hit Kaworu with two Clotheslines, a Sling Blade, and a Spinning Kick to the gut, and then ran the ropes to hit Kaworu with a Swinging Neckbreaker. The crowd and Shinji continued cheering as Eren ran the ropes and hit Kaworu with a Standing Moonsault before running the ropes again to hit a seated Dropkick into Kaworu's face.

"Eren is finally able to get a string of moves together, taking the former BTWF Champion down!" Cornette exclaimed as Eren jumped onto the ring apron, and waited for Kaworu to get back to his feet. When Kaworu staggered back to his feet, Eren springboarded back into the ring with a Springboard Dropkick to Kaworu's chest, sending Kaworu crashing into the corner. The crowd continued cheering as Eren ran into the corner, jumped onto the middle rope, and started punching Kaworu in the side of the head multiple times. Kaworu attempted to push Eren off of him, but Eren landed on his feet and ran back into the corner to hit a Running Corner Forearm to Kaworu's face.

"Eren landing on his feet, and continuing the attack on Kaworu with a hard forearm to the face!" Beth exclaimed as Eren grabbed Kaworu, and hit him with a Reverse Suplex before going for the pinfall, hooking both of his legs.

Ref: 1…2..

Kaworu barely kicked out, and Eren responded to this by grabbing Kaworu by the hair and punching him several times in the side of the head. The crowd continued cheering as Eren ran the ropes, and hit a Running Basement Dropkick to the side of Kaworu's head, sending him on his back. Eren then got the fans and Shinji to clap along as he waited for Kaworu to start standing up, and once he did, Eren ran the ropes and jumped onto the middle rope, but before he could springboard off of the middle rope, Kaworu stood straight up, ran up, jumped onto the middle rope next to Eren, and hit him with a Middle Rope Russian Legsweep, sending him crashing down into the ring.

"What a Russian Legsweep from the middle rope! Eren was almost sent crashing through the ring!" Beth exclaimed in shock as Kaworu landed back on his feet, and put a finger over his mouth in an attempt to quiet the crowd. Despite the crowd booing even louder, Kaworu hit Eren in the chest with the Elbow of Disdain before going for the pin, hooking both of Eren's legs back.

Ref: 1…2..

Kaworu picked Eren up and put him in the Full Nelson before dragging Eren to the corner. Kaworu attempted to hit Eren's head into the top turnbuckle, but Eren was able to free one of his arms and hit several back elbows to the side of Kaworu's head. While Kaworu was dazed, Eren ran the ropes, and hit a Cartwheel Back Elbow onto a standing Kaworu, sending him staggering back into the corner.

"Some more impressive athleticism by Eren, sending Kaworu back into the corner!" Okabe exclaimed as Eren ran the ropes and attempted to hit Kaworu with a Handspring Back Elbow, but Kaworu was able to grab Eren in a Full Nelson and slam him back first into the corner. The crowd booed as Kaworu grabbed both of Eren's arms, and hit him with a Straight Jacket Neckbreaker. However, rather than go for the pin, Kaworu grabbed both of Eren's legs and turned him into the Royal Arch (Inverted Sharpshooter), causing the crowd to boo as Kaworu pressed his knee into the back of Eren's still-wounded head.

"Kaworu pushing his knee into the back of Eren's head, and you can see some blood coming out of that wound that we thought was all dried out!" Cornette exclaimed as Eren tried to reach for the ropes, but Kaworu dragged him closer to the middle of the ring. Eren tried to fight out of it by hitting Kaworu in the midsection with some back elbows, but Kaworu was able to keep bending Eren's back. When Kaworu wouldn't loosen the hold, Eren started dragging himself back to the ropes again, and when Kaworu tried to drag him back to the center of the ring, Eren continued dragging himself to the ropes. Eventually, the crowd cheered as Eren was able to grab the bottom rope.

"Eren got the ropes! That means Kaworu has to let the hold go!" Beth exclaimed as Kaworu got in a few stomps to the back before letting go of the hold.

"I think someone of Kaworu's intelligence would know that Beth," Okabe countered as Kaworu let go, pulled Eren back to the center of the ring, grabbed both of his arms, and attempted to lift him up into a Side Suplex, but Eren was able to flip onto his feet, turn Kaworu around, and hit Kaworu with a Wall Destroyer (Superkick). However, the kick had enough force to send Kaworu falling through the middle rope and out of the ring, causing the crowd to boo as Eren couldn't make the pinfall in time.

"Kaworu once again showing off his intelligence by rolling out of the ring to prevent a pinfall after that Superkick!" Okabe exclaimed as Kaworu started to feel his arm hurting again. However, Eren immediately ran the ropes and hit Kaworu with a Suicide Dive that sent his arm crashing into the fan barricade, sending Kaworu's arm crashing into the fan barricade. The crowd continued cheering as Eren grabbed Kaworu's right arm, and started smashing his arm into the fan barricade multiple times before picking her back up and throwing him back into the ring. The referee checked on Kaworu as Eren began climbing to the top rope, preparing for the Attack on Titan (Diving Double Foot Stomp).

"Eren's going to finish this match off, and get the biggest victory of his career!" Cornette exclaimed as while Shinji was attempting to hold Senku back, the crowd booed as Senku hit Shinji with a low blow. Shinji fell to his knees, ailing his aching groin as Senku ran over to the corner, jumped onto the apron, and swept Eren's legs out, sending him falling off of the top turnbuckle and onto the ropes, sending Eren's throat crashing into the ropes and him staggering away from the ropes. Kaworu was able to get back to his feet, and much to the crowd's chagrin, grabbed a stunned Eren by the arms, put him in a Full Nelson, and started smashing his face into the top turnbuckle.

"Kaworu taking complete advantage of Senku's interference, sending Eren's head into the turnbuckle as many times as he can!" Beth exclaimed as Kaworu dragged Eren to the center of the ring, and hit him with the Final Request (Sit-Out Full Nelson Slam) before going for the pin, hooking both of Eren's legs back.

*Bell Rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Kaworu Nagisa!" Mary Hughes announced as Kaworu started stretching his right arm, with his face contorting into a grimace of pain. Kaworu got back to his feet, raising his left fist up in the air while keeping his right arm down by his side. However, rather than join in on the celebration, Senku grabbed a still-dazed Shinji by the hair and threw him into the ring before following him in. Shinji attempted to fight back, hitting several punches to Senku's gut, but Kaworu kicked Shinji in the back of the head, sending him down to the ground.

"Kaworu not only won the match here, but it's clear that he and Senku are going after the United States Champion!" Cornette exclaimed as Senku mounted Shinji, and started hitting him with multiple punches to the side of the head before picking him back up. Senku held both of Shinji's arms behind his back, allowing Kaworu to punch an unprotected Shinji in the side of the head before running the ropes and hitting Shinji in the side of the head with a Running Knee Strike. The crowd continued booing as Senku took the BTWF United States Championship off of Shinji's waist while Kaworu took put Shinji in a Full Nelson position.

"Kaworu did tell me that he had plans for getting gold back around his waist, and this is that plan; humiliating Shinji to a point where he'll have to fight him for the BTWF United States Championship!" Okabe exclaimed as Senku placed the BTWF United States Championship on the ground, allowing Kaworu to hit the Final Request (Sit-Out Full Nelson Slam), sending Shinji's back into the championship belt. The crowd continued booing as Kaworu grabbed both of Shinji's legs, and wrapped him in the Royal Arch (Inverted Sharpshooter) while Senku was telling Shinji that his US title reign is going to come to an end.

"Kaworu continuing the damage to Shinji's back with an Inverted Sharpshooter!" Beth exclaimed as while Kaworu was stretching Shinji, the crowd cheered as Eren got back to his feet, and pushed Senku into Kaworu, freeing Shinji from the Royal Arch (Inverted Sharpshooter). The crowd continued cheering as Eren punched Senku in the face multiple times before sending him out of the ring with a Clothesline. Kaworu ran at Eren, hitting him with a Running Knee to the back with enough force to send Eren flying out of the ring. Kaworu went back to Shinji, but the crowd cheered as Shinji grabbed Kaworu by the hair, and hit him with multiple punches to the face before Kaworu engaged in the brawl, exchanging punches with him on the floor.

"Kaworu and Shinji are brawling on the ring, and the referee is trying his best to pull them off each other!" Cornette exclaimed as the referee called a couple more referees to help break them up. The camera panned back to a dimly lit hallway as a couple more referees attempted to assist the original referee in separating Kaworu and Shinji. Xochi Melendez was leaning against the wall, and on her phone, but was interrupted by Himiko Toga and Flare Corona, who looked annoyed.

"Can I help you two?" Xochi asked, not taking her eyes off her phone. Toga glared at Xochi before slapping the phone out of Xochi's hand, sending it crashing onto the floor. Xochi attempted to stomp over to Toga, but Flare got in between them to prevent a brawl.

"Look Xochi, these past few weeks, you haven't been helping Sherry or the Sisterhood, and we want some answers!" Toga exclaimed, poking Xochi in the chest. Xochi slapped Toga's hand away and glowered down at her.

"I don't get why you're so mad at me, Sherry kept her championship. Plus, I have a life and career outside of the Sisterhood and I was busy training," Xochi explained. Flare raised an eyebrow at the reasoning while Toga continued glaring at Xochi. However, rather than yell at Xochi, Toga took a deep breath before patting Flare on the shoulder to help her relax.

"Listen, Xochi, Sherry is busy training with Medusa, and won't be here for the next couple of weeks. And what she wants us to do is to make sure that Rei and Akira don't get into the Elimination Chamber match at Last Gasp. So next week, the three of us, Tina, and Frederica are going to make sure that happens," Toga explained. Flare stroked her chin in thought before nodding and patronizingly patting Toga on the top of her head.

"Sounds good to me. I've been meaning to give the fans and the higher-ups a reminder of just how much of a killer I can be," Xochi explained before picking her phone back up, and walking away. Toga took several deep breaths to calm down but ended up kicking a hole through the wall before stomping away, with Flare following after she tried to calm her down. The camera panned back to the stage, as Kay Lee Ray's 'Venom' theme song played, causing the crowd to boo as Maki and Mai Z. came out of the back, looking serious and upset.

"The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, from Kyoto Japan, they are the Zenin Sisters, Maki and Mai Zenin!" Mary Hughes announced as a couple of fans showed off photos of Maki and Mai Z. from the Lingerie match the week of the Battle Riot. Mai Z. looked furious at the pictures, rushed over to the fans, grabbed the pictures, and ripped them up as the crowd booed and laughed at her. Maki grabbed Mai Z. by the back of her top and told her to calm down and save her aggression for the ring.

"Mai Z. seems upset about what happened last week, and I don't blame her one bit! These two are serious athletes, and people are laughing at them because Panty and Stocking wanted to show off their assets to the audience! They deserve every opportunity to be angry and embarrassed!" Cornette vented on the headset as Maki and Mai Z. glared at fans that were laughing and booing at them while also going through strategy for their upcoming match. Mai Z. looked as if she was going to go after some of the booing fans, but Maki was able to calm her down once again.

"Well Jim, you're right about the Zenin Sisters being upset, but they need to start having a little fun with wrestling instead of taking it so seriously," Beth countered as Jim rolled his eyes at the thought. Maki and Mai Z. both rolled into the ring from underneath the bottom rope and kipped back up to their feet. Maki climbed up to the top turnbuckle while Mai Z. jumped onto the middle rope, with both women sticking out two fingers as the crowd continued booing both women.

"Regardless of what you two think of both women, they have a tall task ahead of them, and that's winning a rematch against a team who you can argue that's the exact opposite of the Zenin Sisters," Okabe noted, as Rich Swann's 'Can You Handle This' theme played, causing the crowd to cheer as Mina came dancing out of the back, moonwalking onto the stage as Guri came running after her, and gave her a hug to the back. The crowd continued cheering as Guri shot both of her hands up with her palms open, causing some wacky waving inflatable tube men to come out of the stage.

"And their opponents, the team of Mina Ashido and Guri!" Mary Hughes announced as Mina and Guri gave each other one last big hug before making their way down the entranceway. Mina and Guri high-fived some fans in the front row, with Maki and Mai Z. glaring at them with rolled eyes and their mouths creased into a disappointed frown. The crowd continued cheering as Mina stopped at the ringside area, and gave the crowd a small dance at the end of the entranceway as Guri continued high-fiving the fans.

"These two clowns were the first team that Maki and Mai Z. defeated, and if they are able to maintain their focus, the Zenin Sisters will be able to beat them again," Cornette explained with Mina running onto the steel steps, and clapping along with the fans as Guri slid into the ring from underneath the bottom rope. Guri kipped back up to her feet and raised both of her open hands in the air. Mina then jumped into the ring and began moonwalking until she was right next to Guri.

"Well Jim, these women may like to dance and have fun, but they've shown that they can go in the ring when the time calls for it," Beth once again countered as Mina moonwalked back to the middle of the ring before break-dancing, causing the crowd to cheer louder as Maki and Mai Z. rolled out of the ring, and went over to Cornette for some advice, and Cornette responded by moving his headset, and whispering something into their ears. Maki and Mai Z. nodded in response and thanked Cornette before rolling back into the ring, as by that point, Mina had finished her break-dancing, and took her jacket off.

"Well, Jim gave some advice to Maki and Mai Z., and we'll see whether or not it'll help them in this match," Okabe explained as Mai Z. began yelling at both Mina and Guri before the referee calmed her down, and told the timekeeper to ring the bell. Once the bell rang, Mai Z. and Guri began the match by locking up, and Mai Z. immediately grabbed Guri's arm, put her in a Hammerlock, and pushed her into the corner. The crowd continued booing as Mai Z. hit multiple forearms to the top of Guri's head before attempting to hit her with a Back Suplex. However, Guri was able to land on her feet behind Mai Z., and roll her up with a School Girl pin.

Ref: 1…

"Guri almost got the pinfall there, but it's going to take a lot more than a surprise pin to put an athlete the level of Mai Z. away!" Cornette exclaimed as Mai Z. hit Guri with a couple of punches to the side of the head, but Guri was able to dodge the third punch and hit Mai Z. with a punch of her own. The crowd cheered as Guri ran the ropes, and took Mai Z. down to the ground with a Flying Snapmare Takedown before running the ropes, tagging Mina into the match, and hitting a seated Mai Z. with a Seated Clothesline. Mina springboarded into the ring with a Springboard Double Foot Stomp to Mai Z.'s chest, before giving the fans a brief break-dancing break.

"Mina nearly caved in Mai Z.'s chest with that stomp! But she may have prevented a quick victory thanks to taking a break for some dancing," Okabe noted as Mina picked Mai Z. up, and hit her with several punches to the side of the head before throwing her into the corner. Mina attempted to run into the corner with a Jumping Corner Clothesline, but Mai Z. was able to counter with a boot to the face. The crowd continued booing as Mai Z. grabbed Mina's arm, wrung it, and tagged Maki into the match. Maki quickly came into the ring, grabbed Mina's other arm, wrung that arm, and both she and Mai Z. punched Mina in the gut hard enough to send her to her knees.

"A couple of hard punches to the gut just leveled Mina there!" Beth exclaimed as Maki and Mai Z. attempted to hit Mina with a double Suplex from the ground, but Mina hit Mai Z. with a Jawbreaker as a counter. Maki kneed Mina in the gut and then attempted to hit a Running Clothesline, but Mina was able to dodge with the splits. The crowd cheered as when Maki stopped, Mina kicked her in the gut before jumping back up to her feet and knocking Maki down with a Spinning Leg Lariat to the face. The crowd continued cheering as Mina hit a Jumping Splits Leg Drop across Maki's chest before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…

"Maki kicking out at one, but she's still coughing from the force that landed on her chest!" Okabe exclaimed as Mina picked Maki up, and pushed her into the corner before tagging Guri into the match. Mina and Guri Irish whipped Maki into the ropes, and hit her with a Double Hip Toss before grabbing each others' hands, and hitting Maki in the chest with a Double Elbow Drop. Mai Z. attempted to come into the ring to provide some assistance for her sister, but Guri was able to hit a Jumping Back Elbow to the side of Mai Z.'s face, allowing Mina to throw her out of the ring.

"Maki and Mai Z. are clearly still troubled by what happened to them at the hands of Panty and Stocking, and that's why they appear to be off their game," Cornette explained as Maki got back up, and attempted to kick Guri in the gut, but Guri grabbed her leg, swept her leg out from under her, and hit a Jumping Elbow Drop to Maki's chest. Guri then grabbed Maki by the hair and attempted to Irish whip her into the ropes, but Maki was able to stop herself, kick Guri in the gut, and throw her into the ropes. The crowd booed as Maki knocked Guri down with a Dropkick before quickly going to the pinfall, hooking both of Guri's legs back.

Ref: 1…

"Guri kicking out quickly there, but she's still holding onto her face, showing us that Dropkick to the mush may have done more damage than initially thought!" Okabe exclaimed as Maki hit a Jumping Knee Drop to the top of Guri's head before picking her up, and attempting to throw her into the corner. However, the crowd cheered as Guri jumped onto the middle rope, and dived off of the middle rope to hit a Diving Clothesline onto Maki. Guri grabbed Maki's hand, and tagged Mina back into the match, allowing Mina to grab Maki's other hand. The crowd cheered as Mina and Guri hit a Double Russian Legsweep onto Maki.

"More tag team offense by Mina and Guri, and they're doing well at competing with Maki and Mai Z.," Beth noted as Mina hit Maki with a Standing Moonsault before Guri hit Maki in the chest with a Pendulum Elbow Drop and went back onto the apron. Mina then did some moon-walking before running the ropes, attempting another Running Shooting Star Press, but Mai Z., who was still on the floor, grabbed Mina's leg, tripping her up. Mai Z. kept her grip on the leg as she slammed Mina's leg into the steel ring apron a couple of times before pushing her back into the ring.

"Look at that fantastic ring awareness! Mai Z. smartly targeting the leg to make sure Maki can get control back!" Cornette cheered as Mai Z. ran up to him, and gave him a high-five, which is returned enthusiastically. Mai Z. got back onto the ring apron as Maki got back to her feet, noticing that Mina was having trouble standing on her damaged leg. The crowd began booing as Maki hit a Running Basement Dropkick to the side of Mina's head, sending her staggering into the ropes. Maki draped Mina's head onto the middle rope, clubbed her several times in the back of the head, and then ran the ropes to hit a Leapfrog Body Guillotine, sliding over Mina's back and onto the outside.

"Maki sending Mina's chest crashing into the hard steel ropes, and you can see Mina trying to get her breath back while holding onto her leg," Okabe noted as Maki dragged Mina back to her corner by her damaged leg, and tagged Mai Z. back into the match. The crowd continued booing as Mai Z. and Maki grabbed both of Mina's legs, and gave her a Wishbone. When Mina got into a seated position, Maki and Mai Z. hit a Double Seated Dropkick to both sides of Mina's head. Mai Z. then grabbed Mina's right leg and started dropping multiple knee drops to the side of her leg before hitting her with a Stump Puller Leg Snap.

"And now the Zenin Sisters are targeting Mina's legs!" Beth exclaimed as Mai Z. grabbed Mina by the hair, and hit her with several Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before running the ropes, and hitting Mina with a Front Chop Block to the right knee, sending her flipping in the air. Mai Z. told the booing crowd to shut up and focus on the actual wrestling going on before hitting a Running Basement Dropkick to the side of Mina's right knee. Mina attempted to crawl to her corner, but Mai Z. was able to roll her up with a Magistral Cradle.

Ref: 1…2.

Mina was able to kick out, but Mai Z. immediately responded by grabbing Mina's leg and smashing her knee into the canvas several times.

"Mai Z. doing an excellent job of keeping Mina's leg in her crosshairs, making sure that Mina has a hard time doing any of her high-flying moves!" Cornette cheered as Mai Z. pulled Mina to her corner by her right leg, tagged Maki into the match, and then picked Mina back up. Mai Z. hit Mina with a Shin Breaker before pushing her into Maki's grasp, allowing Maki to hit Mina with a Snap Brainbuster. The crowd continued booing as Maki dug her knee into Mina's throat before jumping back to her feet, and hitting a Leg Drop across Mina's throat before going for the pin once again, hooking Mina's right leg back as far as she could.

Ref: 1…2..

"Maki continuing to target the leg by forcing Mina to use the leg that she hooked to kick out!" Okabe exclaimed as Maki immediately grabbed Mina's right leg, and started kicking the back of her knee multiple times before hitting her with a Foot DDT. Mina once again attempted to make a beeline to her corner, but Maki was able to keep a hold of her leg, and then jump up, and hit a Jumping Leg Drop to the back of Mina's neck. Maki then dragged Mina back to her corner, putting Mina in a Leg Lock, and tagged Mai Z. back into the match. The crowd continued booing as Mai Z. jumped up onto the top rope, and dived off to hit a Diving Elbow Drop to Mina's back before kipping back to her feet to show off.

"That was a nice Diving Elbow Drop by Mai Z., sending the tip of her elbow right into the small of Mina's back!" Cornette exclaimed as Mai Z. noticed Guri trying to encourage Mina to get back to her feet, and Mai Z. responded by hitting Guri with a punch hard enough to send her falling off of the apron. The crowd booed as Mai Z. turned around and noticed that Mina was trying to stand up, and responded with a hard kick to the knee, sending her falling back onto her knees. Mai Z. grabbed Mina by the hair and told her that she was nothing but a joke before slapping Mina in the face, hitting her with a Snap DDT, and going for another pinfall, making sure to hook Mina's right leg as far back as she could.

Ref: 1…2..

"Mai Z. drilling Mina's head into the canvas with that DDT! But Mina is still able to kick out!" Beth exclaimed as Mai Z. grabbed Mina's right leg, and smashed the side of her leg into the ring canvas multiple times before locking her in the Figure-4-Leglock. The crowd booed as Mina began screaming in pain while she tried to drag herself to the ropes, but Mai Z. sat up and punched Mina's knee multiple times before pulling her back to the center of the ring. Maki yelled at Mina to tap out, but Mina shook her head while trying to roll onto her stomach, but Mai Z. responded by punching Mina in the face a couple of times.

"Mai Z. doing an excellent job of keeping the Figure 4 Leglock locked in, and Mina may have no choice but to submit here," Okabe noted as Mina grabbed one of Mai Z.'s punch attempts, pushed her hand away, and started punching Mai Z. in the face. The crowd cheered as Mina was able to pull herself out of the Figure-4-Leglock, but when she attempted to go to her corner, Mai Z. grabbed Mina's right leg and pulled her back. The crowd booed as while Mina was falling back, Maki hit Mina with a Discus Forearm to the back of the head. Mai Z. then got back to her feet and hit a Facebuster onto Mina before going for another pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

Mai Z. pounded on the mat before she rolled to her corner, and tagged Maki into the match. The crowd continued booing as Mai Z. and Maki picked Mina up, and hit her with a Double Spinebuster.

"What a Double Spinebuster by the Zenin Sisters! Mina almost bounced off the ring canvas thanks for the force of the Double Spinebuster!" Cornette exclaimed while applauding as Maki grabbed Mina's right leg, and attempted to lock her in a Single Leg Boston Crab. However, the crowd began cheering as Mina kicked Maki in the face several times, attempting to push Maki away. Maki continued trying to turn Mina onto her stomach, but Mina was able to kip back up on her good foot and hit several punches to the side of Maki's head. Maki attempted to stop the punches by throwing Mina's leg down, but Mina was able to hit Maki in the top of the head with the Scorpion Kick, sending both women down as the crowd cheered and chanted for Mina to get to her corner.

"Mina finally separated herself from the Zenin Sisters thanks to that hard Scorpion Kick to the top of the head!" Beth exclaimed as Mina started crawling to the corner, with Guri waiting for the tag with her hand outstretched over the top rope. Maki was able to groggily get back to her feet and attempted to grab Mina, but Mina was able to counter with a Jawbreaker and tagged Guri into the match. The crowd cheered loudly as Guri jumped onto the top rope, and hit a Diving Elbow Drop onto Maki, sending her elbow crashing into the top of Maki's head before going for a pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

"Guri is finally back into this match, and she nearly got the three count thanks to that Diving Elbow Strike!" Cornette exclaimed in worry as Guri picked Maki up, hit her with several punches to the side of the face, and then Irish whipped her into the ropes. The crowd continued cheering as Guri hit Maki with two Clotheslines, a Running Facebuster, and a Running Knee Strike to the side of the head. While Maki was dazed, Guri ran the ropes and hit a Tilt-a-Whirl DDT onto Maki before knocking Mai Z. off of the apron with a Running Dropkick to the side of the face.

"Guri taking out both Zenin Sisters, and you can see the sweat stains appearing under the armpits of Cornette's suit jacket!" Beth exclaimed with a chuckle as Guri threw Maki into the corner, and hit a Running Back Elbow to the side of Maki's head before Guri threw Maki out of the corner. Guri then went to the middle rope, but before she could hit anything, Mai Z. grabbed Guri's legs, preventing her from diving. Guri responded by punching Mai Z. in the side of the head, but this didn't stop Maki from running into the corner, and hitting Guri with a Jumping Dropkick to the chest.

"That is some impressive hang time by Maki, allowing her to hit that Dropkick clean in the center of the chest!" Okabe exclaimed as Cornette began smiling as Maki got back to her feet, climbed up to the middle rope, and attempted to put Guri in position for a Superplex. However, the crowd cheered as Guri hit several punches to Maki's gut, grabbed her, and hit Maki with a Spinning Belly-to-Belly Suplex from the top rope. The crowd cheered louder as Guri pinned Maki, hooking both of Maki's legs back.

Ref: 1…2..

Mai Z. rolled into the ring from underneath the bottom rope and hit Guri in the back with a Jumping Stomp to the back.

"Mai Z. came in, and broke up the pin just in time, but that Belly-to-Belly from the middle rope by Guri looked fantastic!" Okabe exclaimed as Cornette began sweating again while Mai Z. picked Guri up, and attempted to hit her with a Stun Gun over the top rope, but Guri was able to counter with multiple elbow strikes to the top of Mai Z.'s head. However, Mai Z. was able to push Guri away and allows Maki to kick Guri in the leg a couple of times, and this in turn allowed Mai Z. to hit a Running Leg Drop across the back of a leaning Guri's head.

"Mai Z. and Maki showing off their impressive tag teamwork once again and—what the hell is all this!?" Cornette exclaimed in annoyance as Panty and Stocking walked down the entrance ramp. Mai Z. noticed this, walked over to the ropes, and told Panty and Stocking to get out of here, but Panty and Stocking responded by pulling out the lingerie that Mai Z. and Maki were wearing last week and waving it in the air, causing the crowd to cheer. Mai Z. became furious at this and left the ring, seemingly looking to go after Panty and Stocking, but Mina hit Mai Z. with a Superkick to the side of Mai Z.'s head from the apron.

"Those damn sluts! They're taking advantage of Mai Z.'s emotional state, and distracting her!" Cornette exclaimed in anger as Maki looked at what happened in annoyance before grabbing Guri, and attempting to hit her with an Impaler DDT. While the referee was distracted, Panty and Stocking hit a Double Running Dropkick onto Mai Z., knocking her down to the ground as Guri was able to counter the Impaler DDT attempt, and countered with a Belly-2-Belly Suplex. The crowd continued cheering as Guri tagged Mina into the match, who jumped to the top rope, slapped her leg a couple of times, and hit Maki with an Acid Rain (Split-Legged Moonsault) before going for the pinfall.

*Bell Rings*

"Here are your winners, the team of Mina Ashido and Guri!" Mary Hughes announced as the crowd cheered. Guri got back into the ring to help Mina back to her feet, and Mina, while she was bouncing on one leg, raised her arm in victory. Meanwhile, on the outside, Mai Z. was nearing a full-blown meltdown, kicking the side of the steel steps multiple times before screaming at the fans that were laughing at her in the front row. While Mai Z. was still stomping around the ringside area, she grabbed Maki by the leg and pulled her out of the ring while Mina and Guri continued their celebration.

"This is a big win for Guri and Mina! They were the first victims of the Zenin Sisters, but thanks to some timely interference, they were able to get some form of redemption here," Okabe explained as Panty and Stocking continued laughing at the Zenin Sisters. Mai Z., while still holding onto a dazed Maki, slapped Panty on the side of the head and pushed Stocking away from her. Meanwhile, in the ring, Guri tried to encourage Mina to dance, but Mina didn't think she could as her leg was still killing her. However, when Mina noticed that the crowd was cheering loudly for her, Mina took a couple of deep breaths, and briefly moonwalked to the corner, holding onto her leg after she was done.

"Mina, despite the pain in her leg, giving the fans what they wanted with some of her dancing," Beth explained, laughing as Panty slapped Mai Z.'s back, to which Maki responded with a straight punch to the side of the head. The two teams then began brawling as Guri and Mina looked on, and chuckled to themselves as Stocking tackled Maki and exchanged punches with each other. Guri then hugged Mina in the middle of the ring, causing the crowd to cheer louder as Guri started making her way out of the ring, holding the ropes open so that Mina could have an easier time getting out of the ring.

"Maki and Mai Z. are furious at Panty and Stocking, as they should be! These clowns may have gotten lucky today, but Maki and Mai Z. will get their revenge and get back on track!" Cornette exclaimed as the camera panned to the backstage area as Guri and Mina made it out of the ring. The camera panned to the backstage area, where Denki Kaminari, Tim Scam, Manny Rivera, and El Oso were standing next to Jack Korpela.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with Denki Kaminari and 'the One and Only' Manny Rivera. Now, in a couple of weeks, both of you will have qualifying matches to be a part of the BTWF Championship #1 contendership Elimination Chamber match. I wanted to get your thoughts on getting this opportunity," Jack explained. Scam grabbed the microphone from Jack, and put it in Kaminari's hand, allowing him to respond.

"This is an opportunity I should've gotten from the first time I stepped into a BTWF ring. And whoever I face in the next couple of weeks, they're going to be my next step to getting the BTWF Championship around my waist," Kaminari explained as he pushed the microphone back into Jack's chest.

"Right then…anyway, Manny, what are your thoughts on getting a chance to be in the Elimination Chamber?" Korpela asked. Manny looked up at Oso and chuckled while rolling his eyes before grabbing the microphone.

"Listen, man. Despite my streak of good luck recently, people still think that I don't deserve to be in this position. The Elimination Chamber is going to be my coming out party, where I come out as the top superstar that I know I am!" Manny exclaimed as Kaminari rolled his eyes from the other side of Korpela. Manny looked over at Kaminari with an annoyed look on his face, while El Oso was doing the same. "Oh, sorry ese, you got a problem with what I said?"

"Yeah, you're a former Cruiserweight champion and have held that title multiple times. I've had NOTHING since I came into this company, and this could be my first and last chance of getting a championship match at the biggest wrestling show of the year!" Kaminari exclaimed. Manny and Oso rolled their eyes while Oso patted Manny on the back before he responded.

"Well boo-hoo, maybe if you actually won some matches before turning into a 15-year-old emo kid, you'd get some opportunities before. But me, I was the ace of the Cruiserweight Division before everything changed and I was drafted to Octane!" Manny argued back. Kaminari attempted to stomp over to Manny, but Scam put his arm out in front of Kaminari, whispering in his ears that it wasn't worth it. Before Kamianri could say anything, Shoto Todoroki walked up to the both of them with a towel around his neck.

"You two can argue about making it to the Chamber all you want, but whether or not you do, I've beaten the both of you before, and with an opportunity at the BTWF Championship on the line, I'll just beat you both again," Todoroki explained, looking at both an annoyed Manny and Kaminari. The three of them just looked at each other with heavy tension in the air, causing Korpela to tell the main camera operator to cut to a commercial before the cameraman did what Korpela had asked.

*Commercial Break*

*Commercial Over*

The camera panned back to the locker room, where Double D and Ed were standing in the middle of the locker room.

"Alright Ed, I have a tag team prepared for next week so that we can show the fans how well our chemistry is despite all the time we've spent away from each other," Double D explained as Ed cracked his knuckles with a nod.

"I wasn't sure about starting this back up again, Double D, but now that I think about it, my power and your intelligence are the perfect combination for dominating the Octane Tag Team Division," Ed explained while continuing to crack his knuckles in anticipation for their tag team re-debut next week.

"Exactly! With our combined talents, we're going to be draped in tag team gold in no time," Double D explained, patting Ed on the back. Double D then pulled out a manila folder from his backpack and took out a couple of pieces of paper. Ed raised an eyebrow as Double D straightened out the paper and turned it to Ed.

"Now, I've already come up with several possible plans for our match next week, and we should start going over them right now," Double D explained. Ed sighed before pinching the bridge of his nose as Double D began taking about the papers in his hand. The camera then panned to an interview room backstage in the arena, where Todd Grisham was sitting on one side of the room, sitting on a maroon couch. Sam sat on another maroon couch in the room at the other side of a table that was in front of both Sam and Todd. The table contained a pitcher of water, and a couple of glasses, and Sam had a frustrated but calm look on her face as Todd turned to the camera and smiled at the fans at home.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the woman who returned from a serious neck injury at BTWF's Battle Riot PPV, Sam Simpson. Now, Sam, I understand you have an announcement to make," Todd introduced as the camera panned to Sam, who appeared much more visibly relaxed than she had at the Battle Riot, though still had a slight frown on her face.

"Yes. You see, I realized while I was gone for the past 6 months that this business is eventually going to get the better of me. Recovering from that neck injury was hell for me. Weeks upon weeks of rehab just to get back in time for the Battle Riot. I'll be honest, it sucked, but when they told me that I was cleared to compete, I felt something, a resolve more firm than it was before. I'm going to become champion, and nothing is going to stop me this time," Sam explained, subconsciously grabbing the back of her neck with her right hand as Todd nodded in response.

"I can't imagine how awful it felt to feel your career slip through your fingers like that. But if I may ask, does Clover factor into your future plans? I only ask because, at the Battle Riot, you were dead set on attacking her and eliminating her from the match," Todd explained as Sam looked up with a small smirk on her face, which shocked Todd, as he was anticipating a much more negative reaction.

"Clover? Well, she's definitely something I was thinking about when I returned. Right now though, she's not my focus. The championship is something that she wants, everyone wants it, so I want to get to it before she can. After all, I know her ego won't let her just sit idly by once I have it. She wants, no, NEEDS validation in order to feel important. So what happens when the person she turned on, the person she hospitalized, gets to the only thing she wanted, the thing she wanted more than anything else, the thing she sold her friends out in an attempt to get to it?" Sam shrugged and simply smirked.

"So am I assuming that you're going to be attempting to qualify for the Elimination Chamber?" Todd asked. Sam took a deep breath, signed, and then shook her head, much to Todd's surprise and confusion.

"I'm cleared to compete in normal matches, but our GMs want to take precautions for my safety. They want to make sure I can compete regularly before putting me in a more dangerous environment. I get it, but they promised something for me down the line so I'm not going to get all upset about not being in the chamber," Sam said, a small amount of irritation making its way out of her voice, but Todd simply decided to drop the subject and move on.

"I'm glad to hear that. Now, I also wanted to get your thoughts on your fellow former Totally Spy, Alex Vasquez, finally getting a much-needed victory over Ty Lee and Mai after almost a month of setbacks?" Todd asked as Sam smiled like a proud friend before responding.

"I'm happy for her. Maybe this can get some momentum for her. Who knows? Maybe she and I'll be fighting over the women's championship?" Todd was about to ask another question before the door slammed open. It was Clover Lamoreaux, barging into the camera shot. Clover's hair was all over the place, every part of her body was glistening in sweat, and she was being held back by Jerry Lewis, who was trying to calm her down. She brushed off Todd and got right into Sam's face.

"Now why the hell should you get an interview!? Answer me! What the hell have you done to deserve any of this!? While you were gone I was working my ass off to get to the top of this division and you think you can just come back and try to jump in front of me!? Typical. You know this is exactly why I broke up the Totally Spies in the first place." Sam rolled her eyes in response, causing Clover to get even angrier as she started growling at Sam.

"And yet you lost your qualifying match and just got into a massive fight with one of the two people who ever actually gave you the time of day. So don't come around crying to me and pointing fingers when you can't admit that you just can't get the job done," Sam countered as Clover went nose-to-nose with Sam, with Sam not backing down and practically inviting Clover to prove her wrong.

"You sound really confident when you know what I'm capable of doing to you. So please, give me a good reason to make sure you don't come back next time," Clover then reeled her hand back and slapped Sam hard across the face, hard enough that she fell out of her chair. Jerry nearly jumped out of his shoes while he tried to get Clover out of the room, but wasn't fast enough as Sam jumped back up to her feet, and grabbed Clover by the hair, attempting to brawl with her, but multiple security guards came running in and pulling the two of them apart.

"YOU'RE NOT RUINING THIS FOR ME, YOU BITCH!" Sam screamed as she tried to jump over the security to get after Clover. Clover looked as though she wanted to fight Sam too, but Jerry was able to pull Clover back out of the interview room. Once the security calmed down, Sam ran her hands through her red hair and screamed before kicking the table separating her and Todd's chairs before stomping out of the interview room. The camera then panned outside of the trainers' room, where Pieck Finger was standing outside the trainers' room door.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm outside of the trainers' room hoping to get a word from Erz-!" Pieck began explaining before jumping out of the way as the door was kicked open. The door revealed a furious Erza Scarlet, who had a bandage wrapped around the side of her head and completely around her left ear.

"Erza! I was just waiting for you! Ummm…do you have anything to say about Asuka's return and assaulting you?" Pieck asked, backing away slightly as a growling Erza turned around to face her.

"Asuka…is…a…dead woman!" was all Erza said before stomping away from Pieck and heading down the hallway. The camera then panned to the stage, where the first version of Johnny Gargano's 'Rebel Heart' theme song played, causing the crowd to cheer as Soul came running out of the back with a smirk on his face. Soul put a hand over his forehead, and looked on at the cheering crowd, nodding before he ran to one side of the stage, and pointed up to more of the cheering fans in the upper rows.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the BTWF Championship! Introducing the challenger, from Death City Nevada, Soul Eater Evans!" Mary Hughes announced as Soul high-fived and fist-bumped several fans in the front row. A couple of fans in the front row asked for pictures of Soul, and Soul nodded before posing for a couple of photos, telling them that those pictures are going to be worth a lot more once he wins the BTWF Championship tonight.

"Soul's confidence is oozing out of him even more than usual. Soul has been looking forward to this BTWF Championship match for months now!" Beth exclaimed as Soul ran to the ringside area, putting a hand over his forehead once again to get a closer look at his cheering fans before running to the steel steps, and jumping onto the top step. Soul shot his hands in the air to get the crowd to cheer louder before jumping up onto the top rope, taking off his ring jacket, and throwing it to the floor on the outside.

"Soul was originally supposed to be given a one-on-one match with Natsu at the Battle Riot, but due to Dutch's wheeling and dealing, Soul had to wait until now to get his championship match," Cornette further explained as Soul jumped off of the top turnbuckle, and rolled to the center of the ring. Soul shot his hands in the air again before getting on one knee, and pointing a finger gun to his chest, causing the crowd to cheer louder as he kipped back on his feet, backed away into the corner, and told Natsu to get out ASAP.

"Soul calling for Natsu to get out to the ring, and I think Soul may want to pull that attitude back," Okabe noted as 'Indestructible' by Disturbed played, causing the crowd to explode into cheers as Natsu came out of the back with the BTWF Championship around his waist. Natsu did his 'Dra-gon-eel' taunt on the center of the stage, causing pyro to go off from both sides of the Titantron and the stage. Natsu looked down at the BTWF Championship, polished it with his hand, and then looked up at Soul with a smirk on his face.

"And introducing the champion, from Magnolia Fiore, he is the BTWF Champion, 'Indestructible' Natsu Dragneel!" Mary Hughes announced as Natsu walked away from the stage and down the entrance ramp. Natsu high-fived several fans in the front row, but he continued looking at Soul, who was stretching in the corner of the ring. Natsu walked to the ringside area, turned to both sides of the arena, and smiled at his cheering fans before taking the BTWF Championship off of around his waist.

"Natsu and Soul not taking their eyes off of each other. They may have personal respect for each other and get along in the back, but Natsu and Soul know that this is about the BTWF Championship, one of the biggest prizes in the BTWF," Cornette explained as Natsu slid the BTWF Championship into the ring from underneath the bottom rope, jumped up onto the ring apron, and jumped over the top rope and into the ring. However, before Natsu could get up to the top rope, Natsu noticed Soul getting out of the corner and grabbing his BTWF Championship.

"Soul sending a message here to the champion, and that's there's going to be a new champion tonight!" Beth exclaimed as Soul raised the BTWF Championship in the air while telling Natsu to get a good look at the future. Natsu chuckled at Soul but shook his head before doing his 'Dra-gon-eel' taunt in Soul's face, and Soul responded to this by giving the BTWF Championship to the referee. The referee lifted the championship belt in the air, made sure that both men were ready, gave the BTWF Championship to the ringside attendant, and told the timekeeper to ring the bell.

"And this BTWF Championship main event is underway! The entire Road to Starshow could change based on the results of this match!" Beth exclaimed as Natsu and Soul circled each other around the ring. The crowd gave both wrestlers dueling chants, which Natsu noticed and shrugged in response. Natsu and Soul walked to the center of the ring, and locked up in the middle of the ring, with the two not giving the other a chance to knock the other down. Soul attempted to push Natsu into the corner, but Natsu was able to quickly escape, and while still locked up, pushed Soul closer to the center of the ring.

"Natsu and Soul are locked up in the middle of the ring, and they're showing how evenly matched they are," Okabe noted as, after another moment of locking up, Natsu was able to send Soul down with an arm drag. The crowd cheered as Soul nodded at Natsu before getting back to his feet, and attempting to grab Natsu's arm, but Natsu took Soul down with another arm drag, but Soul was able to get back to his feet and put Natsu in a Side Headlock immediately. The crowd continued cheering as Natsu attempted to push Soul off, but Soul was able to counter this push into a Headlock Takedown.

"Soul showing off some strength here, not letting Natsu out of this Side Headlock and taking him down to the mat at the same time!" Cornette exclaimed as Soul continued wrenching in the hold. Natsu started getting back onto his feet, and Soul followed him up, but this time, Natsu was able to push Soul into the ropes, but when Soul rebounded, he feigned a kick, allowing Soul to quickly turn the kick into a Back Elbow attempt to the side of the head. However, Natsu was able to reverse the Back Elbow attempt and roll Soul up with a Backslide pin.

Ref: 1…

Soul was able to escape the pinfall, and push Natsu into a Jackknife pin.

Ref: 1…

Natsu was able to lift Soul up and attempted to roll Soul up with another Backslide pin, but Soul was able to turn that Backslide pin into a Small Package pin.

Ref: 1…

"Natsu and Soul exchanging pins here, and while they're only getting one counts, it still takes a lot of effort to push a grown man off of you, which can tire out a Superstar quicker than most would think," Okabe explained as Soul and Natsu got back to their feet, and the crowd gave the two a standing ovation. Soul and Natsu took in the ovation before shaking each other's hand and getting back into the zone, which Natsu responded to by attempting to hit Soul with a Clothesline, but Soul was able to dodge and roll Natsu up with a Sunset Flip pinfall.

Ref: 1…

Natsu was able to get out of the pinfall and hit Soul in the face with a Basement Dropkick to the face.

"Natsu is finally able to take some advantage with a Dropkick right to the face!" Beth exclaimed as Natsu turned to the crowd, and hit a Standing Moonsault to the chest of Soul before grabbing Soul and throwing him into the corner. The crowd continued cheering as Natsu ran into the corner with a Running Shoulder Thrust to the chest and then backflipped out of the corner before hitting a Corner Spinning Heel Kick into Soul's face. The crowd continued cheering as Natsu jumped up, and threw Soul out of the corner with a Monkey Flip with enough force to send Soul crashing into his face.

"Ow! Soul landing right on his face thanks to that impressive Monkey Flip!" Cornette exclaimed as Natsu smirked at the cheering crowd before picking Soul up, and hitting him with several punches to the side of the head, but Soul was able to throw Natsu into the corner. The crowd continued cheering as Soul ran into the corner, and hit a Running Corner Discus Forearm to the side of Natsu's face before throwing him out of the corner. Soul then ran the ropes and attempted to hit Natsu with a Handspring Clothesline, but Natsu was able to dodge the move, and when Soul rebounded off of the ropes, Natsu hit Soul with a Bridging German Suplex, pinning him once again.

Ref: 1…2

"Soul almost got pinned there, and he's rolling out of the ring and onto the apron, panicked that he almost lost so quickly," Okabe explained as Soul went to catch his breath as Natsu walked over to Soul, and attempted to lift him back into the ring. However, Soul was able to respond with a couple of elbow strikes to the top of Natsu's head before pushing him away from the ropes. Soul then springboarded over the top rope, and knocked Natsu down with a Springboard Clothesline, causing the crowd to cheer as Soul put a hand over his eyes to see the fans. Soul then ran the ropes and attempted to hit a Springboard Moonsault from the middle rope, but Natsu raised his feet up, causing Soul's chest and face to crash into Natsu's feet.

"Natsu countering the attempted Springboard Moonsault, with his feet high up in the air and landing into Soul's chin and chest!" Cornette exclaimed as Natsu got back to his feet, and while Soul was stunned, attempted to hit Soul with a Tiger Suplex, but Soul kicked Natsu in the gut a couple of times before turning around and attempting to hit him with a Suplex. However, Natsu was able to keep himself on his feet and pick him up in a Suplex position, sending Soul's chest crashing into the top rope. While Soul was dazed over the top rope, Natsu hit Soul in the side of the head with several punches before going up to the top rope.

"What does Natsu have planned here with Soul hung over the top rope!?" Beth asked in worry as Natsu balanced himself on the top turnbuckle, and dived off of the top rope to hit a Twisting Leg Drop across Soul's back, sending him falling off of the ropes and onto the floor. The crowd continued cheering as Natsu kipped back to his feet, and did the 'Dra-gon-eel' taunt in the middle of the ring while Soul was staggering back to his feet while holding his back in pain. Once Soul got back to his feet, Natsu ran the ropes and hit a Vaulting Senton over the top rope, knocking Soul back down.

"Well Beth, there's your answer! Natsu flying around the ring, using his body as a weapon!" Okabe exclaimed as Natsu grabbed Soul by the hair, and threw him back into the ring. The crowd continued cheering as Natsu jumped onto the apron, and springboarded back into the ring with a Tope Con Hilo over the top rope and onto Soul's chest before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

Natsu smirked at Soul before grabbing him and hit several forearm strikes to the side of the head before throwing him into the corner. Natsu then kicked Soul several times in the chest before running the ropes and attempting to hit him with another Running Shoulder Thrust, but Soul was able to roll out of the way, sending Natsu crashing into the steel ring post arm and neck first.

"Oh! Natsu running right into the steel ring post at full velocity!" Okabe exclaimed as Soul took a couple of deep breaths before kicking Natsu in the gut several times while he was hanging in the corner. Soul then pulled Natsu out of the corner, and hit Natsu with a German Suplex, sending him right on his neck. The crowd went back to chanting for both Soul and Natsu as Soul ran the ropes and hit a Jumping Elbow Drop across the back of Natsu's neck. Soul then picked Natsu up and hit him with multiple forearm smashes with both his left and right arms, pushing him into the ropes before hitting Natsu with a Hip Toss/Neckbreaker combination.

"Nice move by Soul, converting that Hip Toss into a hard neckbreaker!" Okabe exclaimed as Soul stomped on Natsu's chest multiple times before grabbing both of Natsu's arms, The crowd continued cheering as Soul rammed his knee into Natsu's face a couple of times before keeping Natsu on his knees, running the ropes, and hitting Natsu with a Shining Wizard to the side of the head. Soul then went for the pinfall, hooking both of Natsu's legs as far back as he could while sticking his tongue out.

Ref: 1…2.

Soul nodded at the referee's count, and then picked Natsu back up, hitting him with a couple of Knife-Edge Chops before running the ropes, and hitting Natsu with a Twisting Jumping Complete Shot.

"Soul not giving Natsu any space to get back into the match, which is exactly what he needs to do if he wants any chance of getting the BTWF Championship!" Cornette exclaimed as Soul mounted Natsu, and started hitting him with multiple forearms and punches to the face before jumping back to his feet and hitting a Jumping Double Foot Stomp to Natsu's chest. While Natsu was in a seated position and holding his chest in pain, Soul ran the ropes and hit a Running Basement Dropkick to the back of Natsu's head, sending his head bouncing back and forth. The crowd continued cheering as Soul grabbed Natsu, picked him up, and hit him with a Swinging Back Suplex.

"Soul showing off a wide array of moves, which all look really impressive as he continues to dominate the BTWF Champion," Beth explained as Soul grabbed Natsu by the arms, and locked him in a Full Nelson. The crowd continued cheering and chanting for both men as Natsu tried fighting out of the hold by attempting to pull himself out of the Full Nelson, but Soul was able to keep Natsu locked firmly in place. Natsu attempted to walk closer to the ropes, but Soul was able to drag Natsu back to the center of the ring, jumping on Natsu's back, and wrapping his legs around Natsu's midsection with a Body Scissors. Natsu attempted to walk back to the ropes, but while he was heading to the ropes, Natsu landed on one knee while Soul continued keeping him in the Full Nelson.

"Soul may end this match by knockout if Natsu doesn't find a way to get out of this Full Nelson!" Okabe exclaimed as Natsu went down on both knees as the referee grabbed one of Natsu's arms, and dropped them. However, the crowd cheered as Natsu was able to keep his arm in the air, and Soul decided to hit Natsu with a Dragon Suplex. However, Natsu was able to land on his feet, causing the crowd to cheer as he jumped over Soul, and rolled him up with a Victory Roll.

Ref: 1…2.

Soul escaped the roll-up and attempted to throw Natsu into the steel ring post again, but Natsu was able to stop himself with his foot. When Soul attempted to run into the corner, Natsu hit him with a couple of Back Elbows to the side of the head before jumping up onto the middle rope.

"Natsu coming back with some hard Back Elbows, but Soul's still on his feet!" Beth exclaimed as Natsu attempted to hit Soul with a Middle Rope Twisting Crossbody, but Soul was able to counter this by hitting Natsu with a Double Knee Armbreaker to the right arm. The crowd continued cheering as Soul grabbed Natsu's right arm, and started punching the elbow and shoulder of Natsu's right arm multiple times. The crowd continued cheering as Soul put Natsu in a Hammerlock, picked him back up to his feet, and hit him with a Hammerlock Back Suplex.

"Soul targeting the arm of Natsu, which is smart since the arm was also a part of the body that was damaged by being sent into the steel ring post earlier in the match," Okabe explained as Soul kept the Hammerlock locked in before ramming his knee multiple times into Natsu's arm. Soul grabbed Natsu, wrapped his arms into the ropes, and punched him in the side of the face several times before running the ropes and hitting Natsu right in the chest with a Running Dropkick. Natsu staggered out of the ropes, and Soul immediately responded by putting Natsu back in the Hammerlock and hitting him with a Hammerlock Snap Vertical Suplex before floating over into the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

"Soul getting another close two count, but Natsu's arm is continuing to suffer more damage," Cornette explained as Soul grabbed Natsu and started stomping on his arm before running the ropes and hitting a Jumping Senton onto Natsu's right arm. Natsu attempted to roll away from Soul, but Soul grabbed Natsu and punched him in the side of the head several times before Irish whipping him into the ropes. When Natsu rebounded off of the ropes, Soul hit Natsu with a Hurricanrana, and when Natsu attempted to roll his way out of the Hurricanrana, Soul was able to roll out of this escape attempt and kick Natsu in the side of the head.

"Soul countering Natsu's counter with a counter of his own, almost sending Natsu's head off of his neck with a kick!" Beth exclaimed while wincing as Soul grabbed Natsu's right arm, turned him around, grabbed his right leg, and attempted to lock Natsu in an Arm Trapped Single Leg Boston Crab. Natsu immediately attempted to crawl to the ropes, but Soul responded by stomping on Natsu's back and right shoulder while keeping a hold of his leg. The crowd continued cheering as Soul dragged Natsu back to the center of the ring, and finally locked Natsu in the Arm Trapped Single Leg Boston Crab.

"Soul with a submission in the center of the ring, targeting the arm, leg, and back of the champion!" Okabe exclaimed as Natsu once again attempted to crawl to the ropes, but Soul kept his feet firmly on the ground, keeping Natsu in place. After another minute in the hold, Natsu started punching Soul in the leg, causing Soul's grip on the Arm Trapped Single Leg Boston Crab to loosen. Once the hold was loosened enough, Natsu pushed Soul off of him, causing the crowd to cheer as Natsu got back to his feet, holding his arm in pain as he went into the corner to try and recover.

"Natsu is able to escape the submission, but you can see by the way he's holding his arm that there's been a lot of damage done to the arm!" Cornette exclaimed as Soul ran into the corner, attempting a Running Knee Strike in the corner, but Natsu was able to catch Soul from the Running Knee in a Powerbomb position. The crowd exploded into cheers as Natsu ran out of the corner and hit Soul with a Running Sit-Out Powerbomb before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

Natsu got back up, flexed and stretched his arm to get the blood flowing back into his arm, and waited for Soul to get back to his feet. When Soul got back to his feet, Natsu ran at Soul and hit him with two Clotheslines, a Superkick to the gut, a Superkick to the side of the head, and once Soul was knocked down, Natsu ran the ropes, and hit Soul with the Rolling Fire (Rolling Thunder). Soul sat up while holding his chest and coughing, allowing Natsu to run the ropes, and hitting Soul in the side of the head with a Shining Wizard before running the ropes again and hitting Soul with another Rolling Fire (Rolling Thunder).

"Natsu hitting two Rolling Fire's on Soul, making sure that he gets as much damage done as he can before attempting to go for the Five Star Dragon Splash," Cornette explained as Natsu dragged Soul to the corner, but Soul was able to kick Natsu in the arm a couple of times while he was on the ground. However, Natsu responded by stomping on Soul's chest multiple times before jumping up onto the top turnbuckle and hitting Soul in the chest with a Split-Legged Moonsault. However, Natsu was unable to go for the pinfall as he grabbed his right arm while Soul rolled into the corner to try and recover.

"And the damage Soul's done to Natsu's arm prevented him from making the pin after that Split-Legged Moonsault!" Okabe exclaimed as Natsu got back to his feet, holding his right arm, and attempted to grab Soul from the corner. However, Soul was able to grab Natsu, move out of the corner, and slam Natsu's face into the top turnbuckle. Soul hit several forearms to the side of Natsu's head before jumping up to the middle rope, putting him in a Front Facelock, and attempting to hit him with a Tornado DDT. However, Natsu was able to throw Soul off of the turnbuckles, and when Soul landed on his feet, Natsu rolled out of the corner and hit Soul with a Rolling Thunder Codebreaker.

"Soul still on his feet from that Codebreaker, but he's stunned on his feet!" Beth exclaimed as Natsu ran the ropes and hit a Rolling Wheel Kick to the top of Soul's head, sending him back into the corner. The crowd continued cheering as Natsu grabbed Soul, put him on the top rope, and started punching him in the side of the head multiple times. Natsu followed Soul onto the top turnbuckle and attempted to hit Soul with a Top Rope Hurricanrana. However, the crowd exploded into larger cheers as they noticed that Soul caught Natsu's mid-Hurricanrana attempt, and put him in a Powerbomb position.

"Oh, this isn't going to end well for the champion!" Beth exclaimed while prematurely wincing as Soul, while Natsu was attempting to slip out of his grip, hit him with a Top Rope Sit-Out Powerbomb before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

Soul looked at the referee in shock when he said that Natsu barely kicked out at 2. Soul immediately jumped back into the corner, and quickly climbed up to the top turnbuckle, hitting Natsu with a Diving Splash before going for another pin, hooking both legs back while pressing his hand down on Natsu's right arm.

Ref: 1…2…

"Natsu showing us why he's nicknamed 'Indestructible' here tonight, kicking out of not only this Top Rope Splash but a Powerbomb straight from the top rope!" Cornette exclaimed as Soul ran his hands through his hair, grabbed Natsu, and attempted to hit him with the Soul Eater (Gourdbuster DDT). However, Natsu fell onto his knees, annoying Soul as he attempted to lift Natsu back up, but Natsu was able to counter with a Jawbreaker. The crowd continued cheering as Natsu hit a Jumping Spin Kick to the side of Soul's head before hitting him with a Snap DDT. Natsu got back to his feet and hit a Jumping Spinning Leg Drop across Soul's neck before attempting to go back into the corner.

"Natsu coming back into the match, but I can see by the strained frown on Natsu's face that the pain in his neck is starting to come back and bite him!" Okabe exclaimed as Natsu cricked his neck before attempting to climb up to the top turnbuckle. However, Soul was able to get back to his feet, attempting to grab Natsu by the hair, but Natsu punched Soul in the side of the face a couple of times before pushing her away. However, Soul was able to grab Natsu's legs and pull him down, sending the back of Natsu's head crashing onto the top turnbuckle, causing the crowd to gasp in shock.

"Well if Natsu's neck wasn't hurting now, it's definitely not feeling good after that landing on the turnbuckle!" Beth exclaimed while wincing as Soul put Natsu in a Front Facelock, and hit him with a Tornado DDT before going for the pin, hooking both of his legs back.

Ref: 1…2…

Soul looked up in shock once again as the referee told him that Natsu kicked out at a two count. The crowd was not fully chanting for Natsu as Soul picked Natsu up, and hit him with the Soul Eater (Gourdbuster GTS). The crowd exploded as they thought Soul had the match won, but Natsu fell out of the ring through the middle rope, causing Soul to nearly rip his hair out in frustration. Natsu landed in a seated position as he held his face and neck in pain while Soul took a couple of deep breaths before he started climbing up the top rope.

"I know Soul's probably frustrated right now, but I think he should be careful. He's trying to dive off of the top rope and onto the padded concrete floor, and if Soul misses, this is going to hurt him a lot more than it's going to hurt Natsu," Cornette noted as Natsu grabbed the steel ring apron to pull himself back up to his feet, and Soul responded by diving off of the top rope with a Cannonball Senton, but the crowd exploded as Natsu grabbed Soul in mid-air, and hit him with an Apron Powerbomb, sending Soul's back crashing into the steel ring apron.

"Wow! Natsu sending Soul's back crashing right into the steel ring apron!" Beth exclaimed while wincing once again. Natsu immediately pushed Soul back into the ring before he climbed up onto the ring apron and jumped onto the top turnbuckle. The crowd exploded as Natsu did the 'Dra-gon-eel!' taunt before diving off the top rope, hitting Soul with the Five Star Dragon Splash (Five Star Frog Splash). The crowd exploded as, despite the pain in his arm and neck, Natsu quickly jumped onto Soul, holding both of his legs back for a pinfall.

*Bell Rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, and still the BTWF Champion, 'Indestructible' Natsu Dragneel!" Mary Hughes announced as Natsu rolled out of the ring immediately after Mary finished her announcement. Natsu, while holding his arm to the side, grabbed the BTWF Championship from the ringside attendant and raised the belt over his head. Soul was still on the ground, holding his back in pain while running a hand through his hair and while Natsu continued celebrating on the outside.

"Natsu retaining his BTWF Championship for the third time this week in an absolutely classic match!" Cornette exclaimed as Natsu jumped on top of the announcers' table, put the BTWF Championship over his shoulder, and did the 'Dra-gon-eel' taunt before jumping down off of the announcers' table. Natsu rolled into the ring, and when he noticed that Soul was getting back to his feet, Natsu put a hand out for a handshake, causing the crowd to cheer as Soul looked down at Natsu's hand while holding his back. The crowd cheered louder as Soul accepted the handshake, and gave Natsu's hand a firm handshake.

"Soul showing some respect to the BTWF Champion after a hard-fought match, almost having Natsu beat on more than one occasion," Okabe explained. However, as Soul and Natsu exchanged words of respect, the crowd booed as Owen, Manabo, and the BTWF World Tag Team Champions Charlie Bonifer and Joe Wolf came running down the entranceway. Natsu and Soul attempted to cut them off at the pass, hitting Bonifer and Manabo with some punches, but due to just having a long match, Manabo knocked Soul back down with a headbutt while Bonifer Hotshotted Natsu's throat on the top rope.

"And here comes the Chaos Conspiracy, taking advantage of the exhausted Soul and BTWF Champion Natsu!" Beth exclaimed as Joe and Owen slid into the ring, and joined Manabo and Bonifer in beating down Soul and Natsu. Bonifer picked Soul up and hit him with the Stump Puller Piledriver as Joe began climbing up to the top rope. While Joe was balancing himself on the top rope, the crowd cheered as Death the Kid came running to the ring with his skateboard in his hands. Kid slid into the ring, and hit Owen and Manabo in the head and face with his skateboard.

"Kid coming down to the ring to save his friends! And he's using his trusty skateboard for the job!" Beth exclaimed as Kid sent Manabo down with another shot to the side of the head with the skateboard. However, the crowd booed as Owen knocked Kid down with a Savate Kick just as Joe dived off of the top rope to hit Soul with a Diving Headbutt to the chest. Owen picked Kid up in a Military Press Slam, and threw him down onto Natsu's chest, causing the crowd to boo as Owen ran the ropes, and hit Natsu and Kid with an Earthquake Splash.

"Well, we have to appreciate Kid for the attempt at help, but he is also being laid out by the Chaos Conspiracy!" Cornette exclaimed as Manabo gets back to his feet, grabs Kid by the throat, picks him up with one arm, and hits him with a Driving Chokeslam. Owen grabs Natsu by the hair, dragged him to the corner, climbed up to the middle rope, and hit Natsu with a Banzai Drop across the chest. Owen folded his arms in front of his chest while continuing to sit on Natsu as Joe grabbed the BTWF Championship from the floor, and draped it over Owen's shoulder.

"The Chaos Conspiracy sending Natsu and the rest of the BTWF fans a powerful message, and that message is that they will not be stopping at the BTWF World Tag Team Championships!" Okabe exclaimed as Bonifer and Joe showed off their BTWF World Tag Team Championships to the camera as Owen stood up, and patted the BTWF Championship, telling the fans at home that the Chaos Conspiracy were taking over Octane, and there was nothing that anyone can do about it. The camera then panned to the back while the Chaos Conspiracy were celebrating in the ring, showing Zia walking out to her car in the garage.

"Well, well, well…look who's all alone," Tina Belcher whispered into Zia's ear, causing her to spin around at near-light speed. Tina had her hands and arms behind her back as Zia glared at her, with Tina smirking at her.

"Listen, Tina, I've dealt with you Sisterhood freaks before, and don't think you guys are going to scare me!" Zia exclaimed, throwing down her luggage in preparation for a fight. Tina backed away slightly, allowing Frederica 'the Cleaner' Sawyer to grab Zia by the hair, and throw her face first into the brick wall. Frederica then knocked Zia down on her back with a Running Big Boot to the side of the head, allowing Tina to mount her and start punching Zia in the side of the head.

"You may have dealt with Sherry before, Zia, but the stakes are too high for us to let you just walk into Last Gasp," Frederica explained before grabbing Zia by the hair and slamming the side of the head into a production cart multiple times before hitting her with a DDT, sending her head bouncing onto the floor. Tina pushed the side of Zia's head into the floor with her foot before picking her back up and putting her in position for the Sister Abigail.

"I want you to think of all the pain you're going through, and realize that you'll go through 50x the pain when dealing with Sherry in the Elimination Chamber," Tina whispered into Zia's ear before kissing her on the top of the forehead and hitting her with a Sister Abigail, sending her face crashing into the brick wall. Frederica and Tina smirked at a bloodied and unconscious Zia and left the arena before security could confront the Superstars.

"You can't stop the Sisterhood, Zia! None of you who are trying to get into the Elimination Chamber can!" Tina exclaimed as Frederica showed off her throat scar, doing the throat slit taunt before leaving as the show faded to black.
