BTWF Last Gasp (Night 2 Part 2)

The camera focused on the stage as a spotlight appeared on the center of the stage, the crowd booing as Mirajane Strauss came strutting out of the back. When Mirajane made it to the center of the stage, she swayed her hips while flipping her hair to the side, outstretching her arms. The crowd gasped as a bolt of lightning came down from the ceiling and landed on the stage behind Mirajane. The crowd booed as 'Down From The Sky' by Trivium played and Laxus came walking out of the back with a golden robe covered in lightning bolts.

"The following contest is a 2-on-1 handicap match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, accompanied to the ring my Mirajane Strauss, from Magnolia Fiore, he is 'The Thunder God' Laxus Dreyar!" Tim Barr announced, the crowd continuing to boo as Mirajane ran her finger across Laxus' chest, keeping it going as she walked behind Laxus, and took off his robe, the crowd continuing to boo as Mirajane traced Laxus' abs with her finger. Laxus and Mirajane then kissed at the center of the stage, the crowd continuing to boo as Mirajane wrapped Laxus' right arm with hers before they began walking down the entranceway.

"Laxus has made a tremendous impact since his debut at the Battle Riot. Between scoring 10 eliminations in the Battle Riot, and devastating opponents in no time at all, it's only a matter of time before Laxus holds championship gold in the BTWF," Cornette explained as Laxus smirked and chuckled at all the booing fans, with Mirajane giving those same fans the hand while they continued walking to the ring. When they made it to the ringside area, Mirajane and Laxus gave each other one more kiss before Laxus walked to the ring, climbed up to the apron, and shot both his fists up in the air, causing some pyro to shoot out of the corners.

"Two of Laxus' victims on his path of destruction, Touji and Kensuke, are going to be facing Laxus right now in a handicap match!" Beth exclaimed as Laxus walked over the top rope and into the ring, stomping to the center of the ring. Laxus knelt to pound the mat several times before shooting one fist back in the air, with Mirajane applauding him from the outside, glaring at the fans that were booing him. Laxus then flexed in the middle of the ring, telling the crowd that this was just going to be more light work before 'The Curse' by Disturbed played, the crowd cheering as Kensuke and Touji came out of the back.

"And his opponents, from Tokyo Japan, the team of Kensuke Aida and Touji Suzuhara!" Tim Barr announced as Touji and Kensuke fist-bumped each other at the center of the stage. Kensuke looked on at Laxus, who was leaning against the corner with a smirk on his face, not taking them seriously at all. Touji patted Kensuke on the shoulder, telling him that it was OK and that they got this. Kensuke nodded, and walked along with Touji down the entranceway, with Mirajane telling the camera that they had no chance against Laxus.

"Kensuke looking a little concerned here, as he knows what Laxus is capable of," Okabe explained as Touji and Kensuke, while continuing their walk down the entranceway, talked game plans for the match. Laxus continued looking unconcerned in the corner of the ring while he was stretching out his legs. The crowd continued cheering as when they made it to the ringside area, Kensuke slid into the ring from underneath the bottom rope while Touji jumped from the floor onto the apron. Kensuke high-fived Touji before going into the corner and jumping onto the top rope as Touji jumped over the top rope and into the ring, patting Kensuke on the back.

"Kensuke and Touji have been friends for years, and that translated to excellent tag team chemistry together, but Laxus has destroyed them both in singles matches on Octane," Beth noted as Kensuke jumped down from the top turnbuckle, staying in the corner to continue going over battle plans while Laxus gave Mirajane another kiss on the lips before walking out of the corner, telling Kensuke and Touji to come to the center of the ring and get the beatdown over with.

"And to that point, Laxus doesn't even look concerned at the prospect of facing the two of them at once," Okabe explained as the referee made sure all three wrestlers were ready before telling the timekeeper to ring the bell. Once the timekeeper did ring the bell, Laxus attempted to run at them both, but Kensuke and Touji were able to dodge, sending Laxus into the corner. The crowd cheered as Kensuke and Touji hit multiple punches to the side of the head and the chest with punches. Laxus responded by sending Touji staggering with a headbutt before grabbing Kensuke by the throat and throwing him into the corner. The crowd booed as Laxus hit several back elbows to the side of Kensuke's head before running the ropes, and hitting Kensuke with a Running Corner Clothesline to the chest.

"Laxus nearly knocked Kensuke's head off with that Corner Clothesline!" Cornette exclaimed as Laxus picked Kensuke up, and threw him out of the corner with a Choke Toss. The crowd cheered as Touji pushed Laxus into the corner with a Running Clothesline to the chest. The crowd continued cheering as Touji hit multiple punches to Laxus' face and gut, which Laxus responded to with punches to the gut. Touji grits his teeth and responded to the gut punches with several knees to the face, sending Laxus staggering out of the corner and to the ropes. Touji then ran the ropes, attempting to hit Laxus with a Running Clothesline to send Laxus out of the ring, but Laxus threw Touji out of the ring with an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex.

"Laxus continuing to show off the strength, throwing Touji out of the ring like he was nothing!" Beth exclaimed in shock. Before Laxus could go out to continue the beating, Kensuke got back up to his feet and clubbed him multiple times in the back. Kensuke also tried kicking Laxus in the knee attempting to send him on his knees, but Laxus pushed Kensuke into the ropes and attempted to hit him with a Back Body Drop. However, Kensuke was able to land on his feet, the crowd cheering as Kensuke hit a Dropkick to the knee, sending Laxus staggering into the corner.

"Kensuke's idea of going after the leg is a good one, as Laxus looks like he's in more trouble than we've seen him on Octane. Granted, that's not saying much, but it's still an accomplishment," Okabe noted as Kensuke hit several Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before running the ropes, attempting to hit Laxus with a Running Dropkick to the chest, but Laxus countered by hitting Kensuke with a Spinebuster. Touji attempted to come back into the ring, but Laxus knocked him down with a Standing Side Kick to the side of the head, sending him falling off of the apron.

"Laxus almost sent Kensuke through the ring with that Spinebuster, and with Touji out of the ring, Laxus has every opportunity to torture Kensuke if he wants to," Cornette explained as Laxus ran the ropes, and hit Kensuke across the throat with a Jumping Leg Drop. Laxus grabbed Kensuke by the hair, slapped him in the face several times, and hit him with another Spinebuster. Mirajane applauded Laxus' domination as he pressed his foot into Kensuke's throat, only breaking it when the referee threatened to disqualify him. Laxus picks Kensuke up again and hits Kensuke with a Scoop Slam that sent Kensuke's back and legs crashing into the ropes.

"Laxus throwing Kensuke into the ropes like he was nothing! That's the frightening power of the God of Thunder!" Beth exclaimed as Laxus grabbed Kensuke by the hair, put him on his knees, and hit him with several hard forearms to the side of the head before deadlifting him up and hitting him with a Gourdbuster. Touji once again attempted to come back into the ring, but Laxus was able to knock him down with a Big Boot to the side of the head. However, instead of going back to Kensuke, Laxus slid out of the ring to grab Touji and hit him with a Scoop Slam that sent Touji crashing into the side of the steel ring apron.

"Laxus deciding to take Touji out for the rest of this match, instead of risking some assistance for Kensuke later on," Okabe explained as Laxus grabbed Touji by the hair, and threw him face-first into the side of the steel steps. The crowd continued booing as Laxus used his foot to squeeze Touji's head into the side of the steel steps, Mirajane continuing to applaud as Laxus started stomping on Touji's gut and face before picking him up and throwing him back down, sending Touji crashing back first into the side of the steel steps.

Ref: 1…2…3

"The referee counting both men out, but Laxus seems unconcerned, as to him, it looks like this match is over," Beth explained as Laxus picked Touji up by the hair, dragged him to the table, and put him in a Military Press position. The crowd booed as Laxus started turning around while still having Touji up in the Military Press position, the crowd going back to cheering as Kensuke hit Laxus with a Suicide Dive that sent him staggering towards the table while Touji was able to escape Laxus' grasp. Kensuke then hit Laxus with multiple punches to the side of the head, and Touji hit Laxus in the face with a Pump Kick to the side of the face.

Ref: …4…5…6

"Touji and Kensuke are finally able to bring Laxus down, laying him down on the table!" Cornette exclaimed as Kensuke gave Laxus a couple of forearms to the face before Kensuke rolled back into the ring, and climbed up to the top rope. The crowd cheered as Kensuke dived off of the top turnbuckle, attempting to hit Laxus with a Diving Elbow Drop through the table, but Laxus grabbed Touji by the throat, and pulled him across the table, causing Kensuke to accidentally send his partner with the Diving Elbow Drop, though the announcers' table didn't break.

"Laxus showing off his smarts, taking Touji out without even having to break a sweat!" Beth exclaimed as Laxus got off the table looking furious. Kensuke staggered back to the apron, looking frustrated that his plan messed up, the crowd booing as Laxus kicked Kensuke in the side of the head before throwing him into the corner of the fan barricade. Laxus looked back at Touji's downed body before grabbing Kensuke, and throwing him back into the ring, glaring at the referee as he continued counting the two men out. Laxus went back into the ring, picked Kensuke up, and hit him with the Snap Swinging Neckbreaker before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

The crowd booed as Laxus pulled Kensuke's head and shoulders off of the mat, telling the jeering crowd that he wasn't finished yet.

"Laxus had the perfect opportunity to win, and he's decided to keep the punishment going!" Cornette exclaimed as Laxus grabbed Kensuke by the arm, and threw him into the corner before running into the corner with a Running Back Elbow to the side of Kensuke's head. Laxus then pushed Kensuke back into the corner when he was about to fall, and hit him with multiple forearms to the side of the face before picking him up and hitting him with a Running Powerslam out of the corner. Laxus then gave the jeering crowd a slit-throat taunt, telling them that he was going to finish it before sliding into the corner and yelling at Kensuke to get back to his feet.

"Well, it looks like he wants to rearrange the internal organs inside Kensuke's midsection with a massive Raging Bolt!" Okabe exclaimed as Kensuke staggered back up to his feet, and Laxus ran at him and took him down with the Raging Bolt (Goldberg-Esque Spear). The crowd booed as Laxus jumped up and roared in celebration, but he stopped as he saw Touji trying to crawl back into the ring. Laxus cockily walked over to Touji, and slapped him on the back of the head, telling him that the match was over and he needed to lie down and accept the loss. Laxus then picked Touji up, but the crowd cheered again as he started hitting Laxus with multiple Knife-Edge Uppercuts and Headbutts before hitting him with a Jumping Superman Punch.

"Touji still has some fight left in him! And Laxus is staggering!" Beth exclaimed in excitement as Touji ran the ropes, and attempted to hit Laxus with the Touji Tackle (Spear). However, Laxus was able to leapfrog over Touji's Spear attempt, run the ropes, and hit an oncoming Touji with the Raging Bolt (Goldberg-Esque Spear). Laxus then looked at both of his downed opponents, the crowd booing loudly as Laxus smirked before grabbing Kensuke, and putting him in a Front Facelock with only one arm. Laxus did the same thing with Touji. The crowd, while still booing, looked on in shock as Laxus picked both Kensuke and Touji up in a Vertical Suplex position.

"We talked about Laxus' insane strength before, but he's just taking it to a whole other level with what he's doing right now!" Cornette exclaimed in shock as Mirajane applauded and swooned over the feat of strength Laxus was showing. Laxus marched around the ring for a moment before taking both Kensuke and Touji down with a Double Roaring Thunder (Vertical Suplex Side Slam). Laxus then stacked Kensuke on top of Touji and pinned both men at the same time, Mirajane yelling at the referee to count the pin.

*Bell Rings*

"Here is your winner, he is 'The Thunder God', Laxus Dreyar!" Tim Barr announced as Laxus, while on one knee, brushed his hands, telling the crowd that this was light work. Mirajane walked into the ring, walked up to Laxus, and knelt down to give him another kiss for a job well done, much to the crowd's chagrin. Laxus picked Mirajane up while getting back to his feet, and continued making out with her over Kensuke and Touji's downed bodies. After a moment, Mirajane booped Laxus' nose before walking over to the ropes, telling one of the ringside attendants to hand her a microphone.

"Laxus with a dominating display here, and it looks like he's got something to say," Cornette noted as Mirajane handed the microphone to Laxus. Before Laxus took the microphone, he grabbed Kensuke and Touji and threw them out of the ring, telling the booing crowd that he was just taking out the trash. Laxus waited for the booing from the crowd to subside before wrapping an arm around the back of Mirajane's neck before he began to speak.

"You see that right there!? These two losers here together couldn't come close to beating me! I hope their pal, Shinji, was watching this because this is going to be just a taste of what happens to him if he wants to cross paths with me again!" Laxus exclaimed, the crowd cheering and chanting for Shinji when his name was called out. Laxus chuckled and shook his head at the crowd's reaction before handing the microphone to Mirajane, who smirked as she took in the crowd beginning to jeer.

"And Shinji, or Kaworu, whoever wins that BTWF United States title match later tonight, you can consider this a challenge; since we're already naming a #1 contender for Natsu's title later tonight, Laxus is going to take the next top title. So at StarShow, one of you is going to face Laxus with the BTWF United States Championship on the line!" Mirajane exclaimed, the crowd booing as Laxus motioned around his waist that the title was going to be his soon enough. Outside of the ring, Touji and Kensuke staggered away, holding their heads and midsections in pain as they made their way to the back.

"And to us, it really doesn't matter who the BTWF United States Champion is heading into StarShow, because the result is going to be the same regardless; Laxus standing over their broken and beaten body, with the BTWF United States Championship on one hand, and his other arm wrapped around me!" Mirajane exclaimed as Laxus moved his arm to wrap around Mirajane's midsection. Mirajane dropped the microphone before turning towards Laxus, and giving him another passionate kiss, as the crowd booed them. Laxus and Mirajane separated before leaving the ring hand-in-hand, the crowd continuing to boo the duo as Laxus told them that they were looking at the next BTWF United States Champion.

"Strong statement by Laxus and Mirajane here, showing that they have their Road to StarShow mapped out already," Cornette explained as the camera panned from Laxus and Mirajane continuing to bask in their own glory to the backstage interview area, where Pieck Finger was standing next to Rei and Akira, who were looking determined but still gave each other the occasional distrustful side-glances.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with 'The Shining Ace' Rei Ayanami and 'The Spotlight' Akira Hayami, who later tonight, will be facing two members of the Sisterhood of Darkness, Xochi Melendez and Flare Corona. With an opportunity at Sherry Blendy for the BTWF World Women's Championship at StarShow on the line, can the two of you co-exist to get the title opportunity you've both been wanting for months?" Pieck asked, which Akira responded to with a scoff, pushing herself in between the microphone and Rei before responding.

"Listen, Pieck, it's no surprise that Sherry would put roadblocks in front of us in the form of those puppets of hers. And honestly, it really doesn't matter because with me leading the charge, we're sure to get the win and end this little reign Sherry has at StarShow. And by 'we', I, of course, mean 'me'," Akira explained, Rei rolling her eyes at her partner's bravado before Pieck took the microphone back, noting the unimpressed look Rei was wearing.

"Rei, what are your thoughts?" Pieck asked, Akira looking annoyed at Pieck for asking Rei anything.

"Well, I do agree with Akira on one thing; we're going to win tonight. Sherry cheated me out of that championship back at Christmas Chaos, and I haven't had the chance to properly pay her back for that. That's why when I win tonight, I'm going to take that momentum into StarShow and bring the BTWF World Women's Championship back where it belongs; around my waist," Rei responded, motioning around her waist. Akira glared down at Rei, pushed Pieck out of the way, and stood in front of Rei, who merely responded by looking up at her with a blank look on her face.

"And what makes you think you're gonna get the job done at StarShow?" Akira asked, glowering down at Rei, and Rei simply responded with a smirk, causing Akira to get even angrier.

"Because you're in the match, and last I've checked, you've never been able to beat me. The only win you got against me was a count-out win, and that's not gonna help you win the Cruiserweight Championship at StarShow. So trust me, at StarShow, I WILL become BTWF World Women's Champion again, even if I have to beat you again to do it," Rei countered. Akira ran her hand through her hair, chuckling at Rei's response before slapping her hard in the face, causing Rei to slightly stagger into the walls while holding the side of her jaw in pain.

"You just better hope we win tonight. At StarShow, I'm getting what I deserve, and that's the BTWF World Women's Championship! At StarShow, the spotlight is going to be back on me!" Akira exclaimed before stomping away from a stunned Rei. Pieck looked worried as Rei looked back up at Akira's disappearing frame with her eyes slit into a glare. Rei held the side of her face before walking the other way, the glare scaring Pieck off from asking her a follow-up question. The camera panned to the ring, where Tim Barr was standing, a microphone in his hand while in the middle of the ring.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a Tag Team Battle Royal Gauntlet. The rules are as follows; two competitors will start off, and every two minutes, another participant will enter the match. A team is eliminated after both members are thrown over the top rope, and the last two teams remaining will participate in a two-on-two tag team match. The winners will become the #1 contenders for the BTWF Women's Tag Team Championships at StarShow!" Tim Barr announced, the crowd cheering as Justin Gabriel's 'Fear Nothing' theme song played, the crowd exploding into cheers as Zoey Hanson came running out of the back, a genuine smile on her face for the first time since Cyber Sunday last year.

"Introducing first, representing Zero Gravity, from Tokyo Japan, Zoey Hanson!" Tim Barr announced. The crowd continued cheering as Zoey raised her pointer finger in the air, high-fiving fans in the front row with her free hand. Zoey looked into the camera and told the fans at home that she wasn't going to squander her first opportunity at a title match in months. Zoey made it to the ringside area, running up the steel steps, jumping up to the top turnbuckle, and raising her pointer finger in the air, the crowd chanting Zoey's name before she jumped into the ring.

Battle Royal Gauntlet Participant #1: Zoey Hanson (Zero Gravity)

"You can just see the positive influence that being a part of Zero Gravity has had on Zoey just by the look on her face," Beth noted happily as Zoey got to the corner of the ring, and stretched as her theme song came to an end. The crowd then began booing as 'Dirty Work' by Halestorm played, revealing Louise Belcher walking out of the back, smirking at the booing crowd, and telling them that she and Lisa were going straight to the top. Louise then took off her hat and black ring jacket before walking down the entranceway, not looking too concerned about Zoey being her opponent.

"And introducing the competitor who drew #2, from Seymour's Bay, New Jersey, Louise Belcher!" Tim Barr announced, the crowd continuing to boo as Louise said that it didn't matter what team Zoey was on, she was still going to lose. Louise then looked at some of the fans sticking their thumbs down at her, which she responded to with a laugh. Louise then rolled into the ring from underneath the bottom rope, jumping back up to her feet, and raising one of her fists up. Louise then walked into the corner, telling Zoey that she was just going to throw away this opportunity again and that she would be better off forfeiting this match.

Battle Royal Gauntlet Participant #2: Louise Belcher

"I expected Louise to be furious about coming in this early but knowing the amount of planning she and Lisa do backstage, this is probably something that they accounted for," Okabe noted once the referee separated Louise and Zoey, and made sure that they were both ready before telling the timekeeper to ring the bell. Once the timekeeper rang the bell, Louise and Zoey locked up in the middle of the ring, and after a moment of both pushing each other, Louise quickly attempted to throw her out of the ring, but Zoey was able to take Louise down with a Snapmare. The crowd continued cheering as Zoey kicked a seated Louise in the back a couple of times before running the ropes, attempting to hit Louise with a Penalty Kick, but Louise ducked and kicked Zoey in the back of the leg a couple of times.

"Zoey starting this match off with some hard kicks to the back, but Louise is still able to fight back!" Cornette exclaimed as Louise grabbed Zoey by the hair, and hit her with several punches to the face before throwing her into the corner. Louise attempted to run into the corner for an attack, but Zoey was able to respond with a kick to the face, pulling herself up to the top rope. Zoey attempted to hit a stunned Louise with a Diving Missile Dropkick, but Louise was able to roll out of the way. Zoey was able to land on her feet, the crowd booing as Louise quickly turned around, and started clubbing Zoey in the back before attempting to throw her out of the ring. Zoey was able to bounce off of the ropes and hit Louise with a Running Hurricanrana, and when Louise landed on her knees, Zoey started hitting her with some kicks to the chest.

"Zoey now, caving in Louise's chest with some hard kicks to the chest," Beth noted while wincing as Zoey attempted to hit Louise with a kick to the head, but Louise was able to dodge out of the way, headbutt Zoey in the gut, and attempted to once again throw Zoey out of the ring, but Zoey countered it, almost throwing Louise out of the ring. However, she was able to land on the apron as the timer appeared on the TitanTron. Louise rammed a couple of shoulders into Zoey's gut before jumping over her and attempting to hit her with a German Suplex, but Zoey was able to counter with several back elbows just as the timer hit zero.

"Who's going to join Louise and Zoey in this Battle Royal Gauntlet!?" Beth asked as Sanity's 'Controlled Chaos' theme played, the crowd booing as Mai came running out of the back, throwing her mask to the ground on her way down the entranceway. In the ring, Zoey grabbed Louise and attempted to lock her in the Cat Nap (Crossface Chickenwing), but Louise countered by throwing Zoey overhead with a Snapmare. Before she could do anything, Mai slid into the ring from underneath the bottom rope and kicked Louise in the gut before throwing her into the corner. The crowd continued booing as Mai hit multiple punches and forearms to the side of Louise's head, sending her falling in front of the bottom turnbuckle.

Battle Royal Gantlet Participant #3: Mai

"Mai, one of Azula's Warriors, is here, and she's taking it to Louise in the corner with some hard strikes!" Okabe exclaimed as Mai started stomping on a seated Louise before choking her with her foot. Zoey grabbed Mai and attempted to hit her out of the corner with a Dragon Suplex, but Mai fought out of it by grabbing Zoey's arm and sending it smashing into the top of her shoulder before wringing Zoey's arm and hitting a kick right to Zoey's gut. The crowd continued booing as Mai picked Zoey up, and attempted to hit her with a Scoop Slam, but Zoey was able to counter with a Hurricanrana, the crowd cheering as Zoey was able to send Mai into a still-seated Louise with that Hurricanrana.

"Zoey sending Mai crashing right into Louise! And now Mai is dazed, putting an end to her initial hot streak!" Beth exclaimed as Zoey picked Mai up, and hit her with several Knife-Edge Chops to Mai's chest before hitting her with a Snap Suplex. The crowd continued cheering as Zoey ran the ropes, and hit Mai with a Knee Drop to the forehead, but before she could do anything else, Louise took Zoey down to her knees with a Chop Block to the back of her leg. The crowd continued booing as Louise clubbed Zoey in the back of the neck before smashing her face into the mat a couple of times.

"Louise coming back with some anger, smashing Zoey's face right into the mat!" Cornette exclaimed as Louise hit both Zoey and Mai with several elbow drops to their chests. Louise then picked Mai up and threw her into the corner, and attempted to hit her with a Corner Clothesline, but Mai was able to run out of the corner, slide underneath the Clothesline attempt, and hit a Pele Kick to Louise's face as the timer came up on the big screen again. Mai then kicked Louise in the face several times as the timer went to zero before hitting Louise with a Jumping Stomp to the face. The crowd cheered as Rich Swann's 'Can You Handle This?' theme song played, with Mina Ashido doing a little dance on the stage before running down the entranceway.

Battle Royal Gauntlet Entrant #4: Mina Ashido

"And #4 in this match is the highly energetic and entertaining Mina Ashido!" Okabe announced as Mina jumped onto the ring apron, springboarding into the ring to hit both Zoey and Mai with a Double Springboard Dropkick. Mina kipped back to her feet, and when she saw Louise getting back to her feet, Mina kicked Louise in the sides multiple times before taking her down with a Jumping Roundhouse Kick to the face. Mina, noticing that the three women in the ring were down, decided to moonwalk to the center of the ring, the crowd cheering louder as Mina did some break dancing right in the middle of the ring.

"Mina may want to keep the dancing to a minimum and keep the heat on her opponents here. An elimination can happen at any time, after all," Okabe advised as Mina picked Louise up, and attempted to throw her out of the ring, but Louise held onto the ropes as tight as she possibly could. Mina continued trying to push Louise over the top rope, while Zoey picked Mai up, and attempted to Suplex her over the top rope. Mai, however, landed on the apron, grabbed Zoey's head, and hit her with a Neckbreaker over the top rope. The crowd booed as Mai pushed Zoey away from the ropes, jumped up to the top rope, and knocked Zoey down with a Diving Double Ax Handle. The crowd continued booing as Mai stomped on Zoey's back while Louise raked Mina's eyes, allowing her to get away from the ropes.

"Louise is able to once again escape the ropes, and meanwhile, Mai is taking it to one-third of Zero Gravity!" Beth exclaimed as Louise kicked Mina in the gut before pushing her into the ropes, attempting to throw her out of the ring. Meanwhile, Mai picked Zoey up and hit her with a couple of chops to the chest before picking her up and attempting to throw her out of the ring. However, Zoey was able to squirm out of the hold, hitting Mai in the face with several punches, sending her staggering into the ropes before throwing her over the top rope with a Clothesline, but Mai was able to stay on the apron.

"Mai is slightly dazed, and Zoey is going onto the apron as well, to make sure that Mai gets eliminated!" Cornette exclaimed as the timer began appearing again, as Mina kicked Louise in the side of the face, sending Louise staggering away and allowing Mina to stand herself back up, and hit her with a hard Kick to the gut. Mina then ran the ropes and hit a Rolling Leg Drop across the back of Louise's neck while she was bent over. The timer went off, the crowd booing as Kay Lee Ray's 'Venom' theme song played, revealing Maki Zenin coming out of the back.

Battle Royal Gantlet Entrant #5: Maki Zenin

"And here comes one-half of Jim Cornette's favorite women's tag team, one-half of the Zenin Sisters, Maki Zenin!" Beth exclaimed as Maki slid into the ring, and hit Mina with a Running Clothesline. Meanwhile, Zoey and Mai exchanged punches with each other on the apron, with Mai able to kick Zoey in the chest, sending her staggering back. Mai then ran at Zoey, attempting to hit Zoey with a Running Big Boot, but Zoey jumped over Mai, pushed her face first into the steel ring post, and when Mai turned around, Zoey kicked Mai in the side of the head, sending her falling off of the apron and onto the floor.

Elimination #1: Mai

"And Zoey gets the first elimination in this Gauntlet match, sending Mai falling onto the floor with that kick!" Okabe exclaimed as Zoey jumped back into the ring, picked Louise up, and hit her with some kicks to the chest, sending her staggering into the corner. Zoey then ran the ropes and hit Louise in the face with a Running Corner Dropkick before putting her on the top turnbuckle. Meanwhile, Maki threw Mina into the corner, hitting her with multiple forearms to the side of the face, but the crowd cheered as Mina countered with multiple punches of her own, sending Maki staggering away. Mina jumped onto the middle turnbuckle, attempting to hit Maki with a Springboard Crossbody, but Maki was able to counter with a Gutbuster, sending Mina falling onto her knee.

"What a counter by Maki, taking all the air out of Mina's lungs with that creative Gutbuster!" Cornette exclaimed while Maki turned Mina on her back, and hit her with multiple stomps to the chest before grabbing the top rope, and hitting some Jumping Stomps with the assistance of the ropes onto Mina's chest. The crowd continued booing as Maki called Mina nothing but a clown and said that Mina wasn't going to win tonight. Meanwhile, Zoey hit Louise with some punches to the side of the face, but Louise responded to this by raking Zoey in the eye, pushing her off of the top rope, sending Zoey falling onto the canvas, though she was still able to land on her feet. Louise balanced herself on the top turnbuckle, and took Zoey down with a Diving Clothesline to the chest, shooting both her fists up in celebration, much to the crowd's chagrin.

"Louise with an impressive Diving Clothesline! She put enough force in it to almost turn Zoey inside out!" Okabe exclaimed as Maki picked Mina up, and put her in an Abdominal Stretch. The crowd booed as Maki started hitting Mina's midsection with multiple elbow strikes, telling her that she was nothing. However, the crowd cheered as Mina hit Maki in the face several times before throwing her over the top rope with a Hip Toss. However, Maki was able to stay on the apron, and when Mina attempted to push Maki off of the apron, Maki kicked her in the knee and jumped back into the ring and behind Mina before hitting her with a German Suplex. Meanwhile, Louise grabbed Zoey by the hair and hit her with several kicks to the side of the head before she started grinding her face into the mat.

"Louise showcasing some aggression that we haven't seen out of her, showing just how much the Women's Tag Team titles mean to her and Lisa," Okabe explained as the timer came back onto the screen while Louise pressed her foot on the back of Zoey's face, squeezing her face in the canvas. Louise stomped on Zoey several times before the timer went off, the crowd cheering as 'God of War' by Wargasm played, and Kohaku ran to the ring from the back, with Louise looking on in shock as Kohaku slid into the ring, and turned Louise inside out with a Running Clothesline.

Battle Royal Gauntlet Entrant #6: Kohaku

"And here comes Kohaku, who has had some issues with Louise and Lisa along with Homura!" Beth exclaimed as Kohaku mounted Louise, and hit her with punches and forearms to the side of the face, kipping back up to her feet and letting out a primal roar. The crowd continued cheering as Kohaku picked Louise up by the hair, threw her into the corner, and hit her with a Running Clothesline before continuing to hit Louise with multiple punches to the gut and the face.

However, while Ochako was trying to regain her footing, Ty Lee grabbed her by the hair, and threw her out of the ring from over the top rope, the crowd continued booing as Ty Lee grabbed Winry, and threw her out of the ring as well, the crowd booing louder as the bell rang.

Elimination #17: Ochako Uraraka (Zero Gravity)

Elimination #18: Winry Rockbell

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zero Gravity will now face Ty Lee & Mai in a tag team match scheduled for one fall, where the winner will face the BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions at StarShow!" Tim Barr announced as Azula and Mai grabbed Ochako while the referee was distracted helping Zoey up, and threw her hard into the steel steps. The crowd continued booing as Ty Lee rolled back into the ring, and stomped on Zoey, turning her around, mounting her, and hitting her with multiple punches to the side of the head. Ty Lee then throws Zoey into the corner and tags Mai back into the match. Mai held Zoey in the corner, allowing Ty Lee to run the ropes, and hit Zoey in the face with a Running Twisting Forearm. Ty Lee then jumped back onto the apron, allowing Mai to throw Zoey out of the corner with an Exploder Suplex before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

"Ty Lee and Mai have the advantage here, with Ochako out on the floor, and Zoey looking like she's on the verge of collapsing from exhaustion!" Okabe exclaimed as Mai mounted Zoey, and started hitting her with multiple punches to the side of the face. Mai then got back up to her feet, grabbed both of Zoey's arms, and stomped on Zoey's face multiple times before throwing her back up, and sending her back down with a Back Drop Driver. Mai then grabbed Zoey by the hair and tagged Ty Lee back into the match while stepping on Zoey's face, grinding the heel of her boot into Zoey's face.

"Ty Lee and Mai doing the smart thing, keeping Zoey away from her corner and into their corner," Cornette explained as Ty Lee springboarded over the top rope, hitting Zoey in the chest with a Tope Con Hilo to the chest. Ty Lee then kicked Zoey several times in the back, laughing at her and calling her nothing but a loser before running the ropes, and hitting a Running Fist Drop to the top of Zoey's head. Meanwhile, on the outside, Ochako had started staggering back to her corner, but the crowd booed as Ty Lee hit Ochako in the side of the head with a Running Baseball Slide Dropkick with enough force to send Ochako crashing into the fan barricade. Ty Lee yelled at Ochako to stay down, but the crowd cheered as Zoey took advantage of this by clubbing her in the back multiple times.

"Zoey coming back into this match, beating Ty Lee like a drum with some hard forearms!" Beth exclaimed as she attempted to lock Ty Lee into the Cat Nap (Crossface Chickenwing). However, Ty Lee was able to counter with a Snapmare and hit a Basement Dropkick to the back of the head before running the ropes, tagging Mai back into the match, hitting a Springboard Twisting Splash onto Zoey's chest, and then moving back to the apron before Mai hit Zoey with a Jumping Senton to the chest and going for another pin.

Ref: 1…2..

Mai immediately put Zoey in a Bodyscissors after she kicked out, and started clubbing her in the chest while yelling at her to give up.

"Mai squeezing Zoey's midsection with that Bodyscissors! Given all the damage to her ribs and midsection throughout this match, and the fact she's used up a lot of oxygen given that she was the first entrant in this Gauntlet, she may have to submit here," Okabe explained as Zoey attempted to roll to the ropes, but the crowd booed as Mai was able to roll her and Zoey back to the middle of the ring. After another minute in the hold, Zoey started hitting multiple back elbow strikes to the side of the head, allowing Zoey to push Mai off of her. Zoey then attempted to kick Mai in the side of the head, but Mai was able to grab Zoey and attempted to hit her with a Back Suplex. However, Zoey was able to counter by throwing Mai overhead with a Snapmare, and when Mai attempted to hit her with a Superkick, Zoey countered with a Superkick of her own, nailing her with a Dragon Suplex.

"Zoey is finally able to take Mai down! Ochako is back on the apron! Can Zoey get to Ochako and tag her into the match!?" Cornette asked as the crowd continued cheering as Zoey dragged herself to Ochako. Meanwhile, Mai was able to tag Ty Lee into the match, the crowd booing as Ty Lee grabbed Zoey's legs, and attempted to pull her back to the center of the ring. However, Zoey was able to kip back to her feet, and hit Ty Lee with an Enziguri, sending her falling on all fours before rolling into the corner, tagging Ochako back into the match. The crowd cheered as Ochako jumped up to the top rope, and when Ty Lee staggered back up to his feet, Ochako dived off of the top rope with a Twisting Crossbody and pinning her.

Ref: 1…2…

"I've never seen a Diving Crossbody like that before, but Ty Lee was able to kick out!" Beth exclaimed as after Ty Lee kicked out, Ochako hit Ty Lee with several kicks to both of her legs before hitting Ty Lee in the face with a Dropsault. The crowd continued cheering as Ochako springboarded onto the middle rope, hitting Mai in the side of the face with a Springboard Triangle Enziguri. Ty Lee picked herself back up and attempted to rush Ochako in the corner, but Ochako countered with a Pendulum Kick, springboarding back into the ring with a Springboard Rolling Facebuster.

"Ochako taking both Ty Lee and Mai out with some high-flying moves, and the crowd is loving it!" Cornette exclaimed as Ochako ran the ropes, and hit a Handspring Standing Moonsault to Ty Lee's chest. The crowd continued cheering as Ochako grabbed Ty Lee, threw her into the corner, ran into the corner with a Running Corner Enziguri, and put her on the top rope. Ochako hit Ty Lee with several chops to the chest before following her up to the top turnbuckle. However, the crowd booed as Mai rolled into the ring, clubbed Ochako several times in the back, and put her in an Electric Chair position, moving her away from the corner.

"Mai coming in for the quick save, pulling Ochako out of the corner while keeping her in an Electric Chair position!" Okabe exclaimed as Ty Lee climbed up to the top turnbuckle, and dived off of the top rope, allowing both Mai and Ty Lee to hit an Electric Chair Drop/Diving Crossbody combination before Ty Lee fell into the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

The crowd cheered as Zoey dove off of the top rope, hitting Ty Lee in the back with a Diving Headbutt. Mai picked Zoey up, and hit her with multiple Open-Palm Strikes to the side of the face, sending her staggering towards the ropes. Mai then ran the ropes and attempted to hit Zoey with a Big Boot, but Zoey throws Mai over the top rope and onto the floor. Azula ran over to Mai, attempting to pick her back up and help her back to the ring, but the crowd continued cheering as Zoey springboarded off of the middle rope for a Springboard Corkscrew Senton onto both Mai and Azula.

"Zoey is taking to the skies to take out Azula and Mai! Now it's only Ochako and Ty Lee left in the ring!" Cornette exclaimed as Ty Lee and Ochako both got to their knees and started exchanging punches to their faces, with Ty Lee seemingly winning after hitting several punches to both sides of Ochako's face. Ty Lee then kipped back up to her feet, screamed in her face, and then attempted to run the ropes and hit Ochako with a Shining Wizard, but Ochako was able to dodge, hit Ty Lee with a Jumping Reverse DDT, and tag Zoey into the match. Ochako ran off of the apron, and hit a downed Mai with a Running Apron Shooting Star Press, making sure that Mai stays down.

"Ochako with the Shooting Star Press! Can Zoey finally finish this match off!?" Beth asked as Ty Lee staggered back to her feet, and Zoey responded by running the ropes, springboarding off of the middle rope, and hitting Ty Lee with a Springboard Cat Attack (Eddie Edward's Boston Knee Party) before going for the pin.

*Bell Rings*

"Here are your winners, representing Zero Gravity, they are the team of 'the Genius of the Sky' Ochako Uraraka and Zoey Hanson!" Tim Barr announced, with Ochako Uraraka rolling into the ring, hugging and congratulating Zoey for winning the match. The crowd continued cheering as a happy Zoey jumped to her feet, and hugged Ochako back, both women jumping up and down in the middle of the ring as it finally sunk in that Zoey was getting her first title match in months at StarShow.

"Zoey went from not competing for championships after losing to Rei Ayanami at Cyber Sunday to becoming one-half of the #1 contenders for the Women's Tag Team Championships at StarShow!" Cornette exclaimed. However, while the two were celebrating, the lights in the arena went down, the crowd booing as the lights turned blood red. Ochako and Zoey let each other go, preparing for a fight as BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions Ultear Milkovich and Tomoko Kuroki storm the ring, brawling with them.

"And now the champions are showing what the contenders are in for at StarShow!" Okabe exclaimed as while the two were even in the brawl, the crowd booed as other members of the Sisterhood of Darkness (Flare Corona, Himiko Toga, Tina Belcher, and Frederica Sawyer) rushed the ring, and joined in on the brawl. BTWF World Women's Champion Sherry Blendy and Medusa Gorgon watch from the stage as Flare Corona hit Ochako with a Flash Fire (Jumping Cutter). Tina Belcher then grabs Zoey, kisses her on the top of the head, and hits her with the Dark Day (Bray Wyatt's Sister Abigail).

"Not only the BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions but the rest of the Sisterhood! The Sisterhood showing just how important these championships are to them!" Beth exclaimed as Flare threw Ochako into Himiko, allowing her to hit Ochako with the Where The Blood Drops (Cradle Piledriver), while Frederica Sawyer hit Zoey with the Chainsaw Massacre (Mass Driver). Ultear and Tomoko then smirked at the downed #1 contenders before Ultear picked Zoey up in a Wheelbarrow position. The crowd continued booing as Ultear spun around while keeping Zoey in the Wheelbarrow position, with Tomoko responding by hitting Zoey in the side of the head with a Running Knee Strike to the side of Zoey's head.

"Ultear and Tomoko, giving the #1 contenders a sneak peek of what they believe is to come at StarShow!" Okabe exclaimed as Ultear and Tomoko held their BTWF Women's Tag Team Championships up in the air as Sherry and Medusa came walking to the ring. Sherry looked happy at what happened in the ring, hugging her BTWF World Women's Championship close to her chest as she rolled into the ring. Medusa followed suit, as she and Sherry joined the rest of the Sisterhood in the ring, raising her championship as high as Ultear and Tomoko raised theirs. The other members of the Sisterhood raised their pointer fingers in the air, as Sherry told the fans that their Era of Darkness had just begun.

"The Sisterhood of Darkness shows why they're one of the most powerful forces in all of the BTWF! Can Zero Gravity do what many others have failed to do, and take those championships off of the Sisterhood!?" Cornette asked as the camera panned to the backstage area, where Todd Grisham was standing next to the Hollywood Hooligan and Mandy DeRoyale.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the Hollywood Hooligan, who beat Nico in the main event of the Last Gasp pre-show, and he has requested some interview time," Todd explained, as Hooligan grabbed the microphone, pushed Todd away, and handed the microphone to Mandy, who held it underneath Hooligan's mouth.

"A star like me is too big for the pre-show! The fact that my decimation of that jackass Nico was reduced to the YouTube pre-show and not the main show is criminal!" Hooligan exclaimed as Mandy nodded in agreement before Hooligan patted her on the shoulder and continued his tirade.

"I have so many movie deals that I can just walk out of this company whenever I want to, and you wouldn't be able to do a thing about it! So, I demand to be treated with more respect! And I want my matches to be-!" Hooligan continued exclaiming as Mandy backed away slightly, with Nico smiling at the both of them, holding his chin slightly from where Hooligan had kneed him in the face earlier tonight.

"If you want more people to see your work, let's have a rematch on Octane. That way, everyone can see me kick your ass," Nico said, the smile not leaving his face. Mandy sneered at Hooligan before nodding in response, and patting Nico on the shoulder, causing Nico to wipe his shoulder when Hooligan took his hand off.

"I think that might be the first time I've ever agreed with you. On Octane, I'll kick your ass again, and show you what a real superstar is like," Hooligan said with a smile on his face. Nico nodded, and while he was still smiling, slapped Hooligan in the side of the face. Hooligan and Nico started exchanging punches with each other, and Nico got the advantage with multiple kicks to the side of the leg, pushing him into the chain link wall. However, Mandy jumped onto Nico's back, clubbing him in the top of the head, giving Hooligan enough time to hit Nico with a Running Bicycle Knee Strike to the face.

"Get him! Kick his ass!" Mandy screamed at Hooligan as she kicked Nico several times in the gut. Hooligan nodded, grabbed Nico, and threw him into the steel chain fence before throwing him into the wall. Hooligan then kneed Nico in the side of the head multiple times, causing Nico to start bleeding from the side of the head as referees came out, and pulled him away from Nico. Mandy finished the assault off by kicking Nico in the side of the head before running after Hooligan and the referees, yelling at them to leave Hooligan alone before the camera panned back to the stage.
