BTWF Last Gasp (Night 2 Part 5)
Once the camera panned back to the stage, the crowd exploded into cheers as the Elimination Chamber once again began coming down, surrounding the ring as the lights showed off the chamber pods, the chain walls, and the padded chain floors. The camera panned around the Chamber before 'Broken Dreams' by Shaman's Harvest played, the crowd booing as Kaminari came out of the back with Scam following him, applauding him as Kaminari took off his hood, threw her sleeveless jacket onto the ground, and stomped down the entranceway.
"The following contest is an Elimination Chamber match, where the winner will receive a BTWF Championship match at StarShow! Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Tim Scam, from Musutafu Japan, Denki Kaminari!" Tim Barr announced, the crowd continuing to boo as Kaminari continued walking to the ring, looking up at the Chamber with a glare on his face. Scam, meanwhile, went to the camera, telling them that they were looking at the next BTWF Champion and that Kaminari was going to prove everyone wrong.
"Denki Kaminari has been on a roll since turning his back on his former partner, KIRISHIMA. And given what he's said earlier tonight, Kaminari views this match as one of the most important of his career," Cornette explained as Kaminari glared at some of the booing fans, with Scam patting Kaminari on the back, telling him to ignore the fans and focus on this match. Kaminari nodded as Scam told him that this was going to be his chance to win the one championship that he couldn't in his in-ring career. Kaminari nodded, and fist-bumped Scam before walking up the steel steps, and heading towards one of the pods in front of the commentary table.
"It's not only important for Kaminari, but it's important for Scam too, as the BTWF Championship was a title that eluded him throughout his entire career. Imagine how elated Scam would be if his charge was able to win the BTWF Championship in the main event of StarShow?" Okabe continued as Kaminari walked into the chamber pod, looking around the chain-link walls and steel of the Elimination Chamber as the ringside attendants closed the chamber pod door. Kaminari took a deep breath and started stretching in the pod before Johnny Gargano's 'Rebel Heart' theme song played, the crowd cheering as Soul came running out of the back.
"And introducing his opponents first, from Death City Nevada, Soul Eater Evans!" Tim Barr announced as Soul stopped right at the center of the stage, and put his hand over his forehead to get a better look at the cheering fans. Soul ran down the entrance ramp, high-fiving fans in the front row, telling them that he was going to go all the way in this Chamber match. Soul continued talking to the camera, saying that Kaminari wasn't going to beat him so easily before stopping at the ringside area, and looking at Scam. Soul tells Scam that he better make sure that Kaminari is ready to not appear at StarShow before pushing him away, the crowd cheering as Scam tripped over the steel steps and onto the floor.
"Soul showing no fear heading into this match! I can't be surprised given who this is, but the sight of the Elimination Chamber has made even the most successful wrestlers question their decisions!" Beth exclaimed as Soul looked on at the cheering crowd with his hand over his forehead again before running up the steel steps and into the ring. Soul then jumped up in the air, took his ring jacket off, and once again put his hand over his forehead, spinning around to get a look at the entire crowd. Soul then walked past Kaminari, flipping him the bird before going into his pod next to Kaminari's, much to the crowd's delight.
"Soul also showing Kaminari some disrespect, trying to get into his head before the match even starts," Okabe noticed as Soul walked into his pod, continuing to trash talk with Kaminari as the ringside attendant shut the pod. Blake and Murphy's 'Action Packed' theme song played, the crowd booing as Manny came running out of the back with El Oso & Rachel Light accompanying him. The crowd's boos grew louder as Rachel began screaming at the crowd that Manny was going to do something that his overrated father and grandfather couldn't do; win the big one.
"And their opponent, accompanied to the ring by El Oso and Rachel Light, from Miracle City Mexico, he is 'The One and Only' Manny Rivera!" Tim Barr announced as the crowd chanted 'Shut the Fuck Up!' at Rachel, who simply responded by sticking her tongue out at the fans, and Oso helped her by covering her ears. Manny jumped around, faking high-fives with some of the fans. Manny looked at the Chamber and told Soul and Kaminari that they were going down before fist-bumping Oso and Rachel.
"The newest member of Rachel's ever-growing group of wrestlers, Manny Rivera, is out next, and he's just as confident as ever," Cornette noted as Manny took his ring jacket off, threw it to the floor, and ran up the steel steps, jumping over the top rope before rolling to the center of the ring. Rachel looked over at Scam and told him that Manny would be the next BTWF Champion and that Kaminari MIGHT get a title shot from Manny if he gets lucky. Scam rolled his eyes and guaranteed that Manny would be the first man eliminated.
"Rachel stirring up trouble as usual, starting an argument with Kaminari's manager on the outside," Beth noted as Manny crotch-chopped Soul and Kaminari before stepping into his pod in the Elimination Chamber. Once his pod door was locked, Manny leaned over to go over some last-minute battle strategy with Oso and Rachel before Dragon Lee's 'Catch Me In the Pit' theme song began playing, the crowd going back to cheering as Valentino came walking out of the back. Rather than the smile he usually wore on his face, Valentino was wearing a serious frown on his face, his ire focused directly at Manny. The crowd continued cheering as Valentino shot his head up in the air, and spat water in the air.
"And their opponent, from Monte Macabre Mexico, Valentino Calavera!" Tim Barr announced, the crowd continuing to cheer as Valentino shadow-boxed on the stage before stomping down the entranceway. Manny looked amused as Valentino continued staring at him, telling Valentino that he wasn't gonna do anything once he got into the ring. While Valentino fist-bumped fans in the front row, Rachel yelled at Valentino that he didn't deserve to be in this match and that Baam should be in the match. Valentino ignored Rachel's ranting and told Manny that the second he got his hands on him, he was going to make him regret even looking at Frida funny.
"Valentino may have the opportunity of a lifetime tonight, but he's more focused on tearing Manny apart in the confines of the Elimination Chamber!" Okabe exclaimed as Valentino walked up the steel steps and into the ring. Valentino walked to the center of the ring, glared at Manny, and then shot water from his mouth into the air, the crowd continuing to cheer as Valentino started arguing with Kaminari before walking to the last available pod. Valentino took some deep breaths as the ringside attendants closed the last pod, with Valentino and Manny exchanging some harsh words with each other.
"Hopefully, this doesn't affect his focus on the match, because chances at the BTWF Championship don't come around every day," Cornette explained as LA Knight's 'Rollin' Deep' theme song played, the crowd booing as Jean Kirstein came out of the back, sans microphone, and started untying the front of his robe. Jean looked at the camera, saying that he didn't have time to talk to the sweathogs in the arena tonight and that they would have to make do with seeing his amazing body. Jean then focused on the Chamber in front of him, the crowd booing more as he gave his fellow Chamber participants a hip swivel before walking down the entranceway.
"And their opponent, from the Trost District in Shiganshina, he is 'the Definition of Perfection' Jean Kirstein!" Tim Barr announced, the crowd continuing to boo as Jean took off his robe, showing off his dancing pecs, much to the chagrin of the fans. Jean looked at Scam, Oso, and Rachel next to him, the crowd giving a mixed reaction as Jean threw his robe at Scam, who responded by throwing the robe down onto the ground, stomping on the robe. Jean chuckled at the response, while Rachel looked at Jean with a glimmer of interest as he gave the booing crowd more flexing and hip swivels before running up the steel steps.
"I'm shocked that Jean isn't talking to the crowd about how good he looks. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy he isn't, but it is still weird," Beth admitted as Jean walked over to the corner, jumped onto the middle turnbuckle, and did a hip swivel in front of Soul. Soul responded by almost putting his pointer finger and thumb together, telling Jean that he was simply overcompensating. Jean rolled his eyes before backflipping back onto the center of the ring, looking over at Valentino, getting on one knee, and flexing in his face, the boos growing as Jean called Valentino nothing but a crybaby fatass.
"Don't worry about that, Beth, Jean's doing enough talking in the ring to make up for it," Cornette responded with a chuckle as while Jean was ranting and talking, the crowd cheered when 'Don't Stop' by Nothing More (feat. Jacoby Shaddix) played, the cheers only growing as Todoroki rolled out of the back, and sat down criss-cross on the stage. Once the beat of the song dropped, Todoroki opened his eyes again, kipping back up to his feet, and telling the crowd that this was his moment, and he wasn't going to let anyone get in his way. Todoroki then stomped over to the ring, Jean looking on with a raised eyebrow as Todoroki high-fived fans in the front row.
"And their opponent, from Musutafu Japan, Shoto Todoroki!" Tim Barr announced, the crowd continuing to cheer and chant for Todoroki as he ran down the entranceway, and up the steel steps. The crowd continued cheering as Todoroki flipped over the top rope, and rolled right in front of Jean before kipping back up to his feet. Jean smirked and chuckled at Todoroki and gave him a light push, the crowd booing as Todoroki took several deep breaths to calm himself down, deciding to wait until the bell rang so that he could beat Jean up all he wanted. Jean walked back up to Todoroki, telling him that he was never going to beat him.
"Todoroki not wasting any time, rushing down to the ring so that he could get this match started!" Beth exclaimed as the referee told the timekeeper to ring the bell, and when it did, the crowd cheered as Todoroki started hitting multiple kicks to the sides and chest of Jean. Todoroki attempted to Irish whip him into the corner, but Jean was able to run up to the top turnbuckle and backflip down when Todoroki attempted to rush into the corner. Jean attempted to hit a Jumping Corner Spin Kick, but Todoroki ducked out of the way, rolled out of the corner, and hit Jean with a Jumping Knee Strike to the side of the face. Jean staggered into the corner, and Todoroki immediately went back on the attack, hitting several Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before attempting to take him out of the corner with a Snapmare. However, Jean was able to club Todoroki in the back several times before pushing him back into the corner, hitting her with several back elbows to the side of the face.
"Jean and Todoroki are even in the early goings of this match, but you have to imagine that once the Chamber comes into play, things will not be even anymore," Okabe explained as Jean attempted to Irish whip Todoroki into the diagonal corner, but Todoroki was able to stop himself. Jean attempted to run at Todoroki in the corner, but Todoroki countered with a kick out of the corner, sending Jean staggering. Todoroki then jumped onto the middle rope and attempted to hit a Diving Missile Dropkick, but Jean was able to grab Todoroki in mid-air and throw him to the outside. The crowd cheered as Todoroki was able to land on his feet, and when Jean noticed this, he blocked a kick Todoroki attempted, and hit him with a hard forearm to the side of the head.
"Jean and Todoroki continuing to exchange moves with each other, trying to prevent the other from hitting the padded steel on the outside!" Cornette exclaimed as Jean attempted to hit a Gourdbuster onto the outside, but the crowd cheered as Todoroki was able to respond with multiple punches to the gut before attempting to hit him with a Suplex from the inside onto the outside. However, Jean was able to land on his feet behind Todoroki and attempted to hit him with a German Suplex, but Todoroki was able to land on his feet behind Jean. The crowd began cheering and booing accordingly as they exchanged punches with each other, but Jean ended the brawl by grabbing Todoroki by the throat. Jean attempted to lift Todoroki up for a Sit-Out Chokeslam, but Todoroki was able to counter this into a Hurricanrana, the crowd cheering as Jean's face collided with the steel.
"Todoroki is finally able to use the steel chain of the wall! Jean almost landed right into one of the holes in between the links!" Okabe exclaimed as Todoroki then turned Jean around, and started kicking Jean in the chest again. Todoroki then backed away, running back at Jean to hit him with a Running Double Knee Strike to the chest, sending Jean's back bouncing off of the steel. The crowd continued cheering as Todoroki kicked Jean in the knee hard enough to send him down on one knee, and hit him with a Jumping Double Foot Stomp to the back of the head before Todoroki went for the first pinfall of the match.
Ref: 1…2
"Todoroki getting a two count here, but we're getting closer to a third man appearing in this match!" Beth exclaimed as Todoroki picked Jean up, and hit him with several punches hard enough to send Jean staggering into the ropes. Todoroki then ran at Jean attempting a Crossbody, but Jean countered by throwing Todoroki back into the ring with a Back Body Drop. The crowd booed as when Todoroki pulled himself back up to his feet, Jean springboarded back into the ring, hitting Todoroki with a Springboard Clothesline. The crowd continued booing as Jean picked Todoroki up and threw him back into the corner. Jean then ran into the corner and hit Todoroki with a Running Corner Clothesline before putting him onto the top rope. The timer appeared on the TitanTron as Todoroki tried to counter Jean's continued attacks with some kicks to the chest.
"The timer is up! Who's going to come out next!?" Beth asked as Todoroki slammed Jean's head into the top turnbuckle several times before the timer went off. The lights above the Chamber pods went on and off, before finally lighting up Soul's pod, the crowd cheering as Soul ran out of the pod, hitting Jean with a Springboard Spear. The crowd continued cheering as Soul jumped up and hit Todoroki with a Running Jumping Uppercut before climbing up to the top turnbuckle and hitting Todoroki with multiple Knife-Edge Chops, and Todoroki responded by pushing Soul off of the top turnbuckle. The crowd exploded into cheers as Soul landed on his feet, and hit Todoroki with a Top Rope Frankensteiner before running the ropes and hitting Todoroki with a Grounded Knee Smash to the face before going for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…2..
"Soul and Todoroki, not too long ago, had a classic Best of 5 series that earned Todoroki his first world title shot. Now, Soul's out here taking advantage of the fact Todoroki's been in the ring longer than him to get an advantage," Okabe explained as Soul picked Todoroki up, and hit him with several Knife-Edge Chops to his chest, but Todoroki was able to block one of the chops, and hit him with a straight kick to the chin, the crowd cheering as Todoroki attempted to throw Soul into the corner, but Soul was able to land on the middle turnbuckle, and attempted to hit an oncoming Todoroki with a Diving Sunset Flip, but Todoroki was able to roll out of the attempted pin, and hit Soul with a Jumping Double Stomp to the chest. The crowd continued cheering as Todoroki grabbed Soul, and threw him out of the ring and onto the padded steel floor. Todoroki hit a staggering Jean with a Superkick to the chest, sending him into the corner before running and vaulting over the top rope with a Somersault Senton to the outside to a now-standing Soul. However, the crowd exploded into cheers as Soul was able to grab Todoroki mid-Somersault Senton, and threw him into the chain-link wall with an Alley Oop Bomb.
"Soul sending Todoroki chest and face first into the steel! The force of that almost sent Todoroki through the wall!" Cornette exclaimed as Soul turned around, the crowd booing as Jean vaulted over the top rope, hitting Soul with a Vaulting Clothesline onto his throat. The crowd continued booing as Jean picked Soul back up and hit him with several punches to the side of the head before putting him in a Snake Eyes position, attempting to throw him into the chain-link fence, but Soul was able to grab the chain by his hand and keep himself from hitting the chain face-first. Jean continued attempting to push Soul into the steel, but Soul was able to escape and send Jean crashing onto the floor with a Hurricanrana.
"Soul still fighting back against Jean, though judging by those intense coughs, he's still feeling the effects of that Vaulting Clothesline!" Okabe exclaimed as Soul Irish whipped Jean into the steel, sending his back bouncing off of the chain-link wall. Soul then grabbed Jean by the head and sent it crashing into the steel chain-link wall several times before throwing him back into the ring. The crowd continued cheering as Soul climbed up the turnbuckles, and attempted to hit Jean with a Diving Splash, but Jean raised both of his knees up, sending Soul crashing onto his knees. The crowd booed as Jean kicked Soul's dazed body away from him and into the ropes, allowing him to get back to his feet, and hit a Dropkick to Soul's back, sending him draped over the middle rope.
"Jean trying to finally take control of this match, and he may have an easier time of it given that Todoroki's still trying to regain his bearings on the outside," Okabe explained as Jean ran the ropes, and hit Soul with a Leapfrog Body Guillotine before jumping over the top rope, hitting a Guillotine Leg Drop across the back of Soul's neck. The crowd continued booing as Jean springboarded back into the ring, hitting a Tope Con Hilo onto Soul's chest before going for the pin, hooking both of his legs back.
Ref: 1…2.
Jean looked annoyed at the quick kickout, and mounted Soul before hitting him with a series of punches to the side of the face. Jean also noticed that Todoroki was staggered against the ropes on the floor, and Jean responded by taking him back down with a Savate Kick to the side of the head.
"Jean's normally a massive idiotic jock, but he's taking this match extremely seriously," Beth noted as Jean immediately went back to Soul, hitting a Running Leg Drop across his throat. The crowd continued booing as Jean swiveled his hips over Soul's downed body before hitting Soul with a double-leg drop across Soul's chest. Soul immediately went into the corner in an attempt to escape Jean's attack, but the crowd continued booing as Jean ran into the corner, and hit Soul in the back of the head with a Running Corner Back Elbow.
"Jean knows the stakes this match is offering him, and is willing to forgo some of his more overt stupidity to get that BTWF Championship match at StarShow," Cornette responded as Jean picked Soul up, and attempted to hit him with a Back Suplex, but Soul was able to punch Jean in the top of the head multiple times. The crowd cheered as Soul was able to turn himself around, and hit Jean with a Hurricanrana that sent his face crashing into the middle turnbuckle. The crowd continued cheering as Soul ran the ropes, and hit a Jumping Corner Clothesline to the back of Jean's head, but the crowd's cheers grew louder as Todoroki took Soul down with a Spinning Roundhouse Kick to the chest. The timer then reappeared on the TitanTron, with Todoroki going into the corner, kicking Jean back up, and hitting him with several punches to the side of the face.
"Todoroki is back into the match despite the blood pouring down from his forehead, going right after Jean!" Cornette exclaimed as once the timer went off, the lights over the Chamber pods once again began flickering on and off. The lights flashed over Manny's pod, the crowd booing as Manny immediately ran into the ring and started stomping on a downed Soul. The crowd continued booing as Manny picked Soul up, and hit him with more punches to the side of the face before sending him into another corner with a Dropkick. Meanwhile, Jean and Todoroki exchanged punches on the top turnbuckle, with Jean grabbing Todoroki by the throat, which Todoroki countered with several headbutts to the face.
"Manny immediately, like a shark smelling blood in the water, going right after a downed Soul!" Okabe exclaimed as Jean once again countered Todoroki by hitting him with a Reverse STO that sent his face crashing into the side of the pod. Meanwhile, Manny began hitting Soul with multiple forearms to the side of the face, before running the ropes, and hitting a Single Leg Dropkick to the side of Soul's face before throwing him out of the corner with a Monkey Flip. The crowd continued booing as Manny talked trash to the fans before running the ropes and hitting a Rolling Leg Drop across Soul's throat before going for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…2
"Manny almost getting the three count there, maintaining his focus on Soul!" Cornette exclaimed as Jean attempted to grab Todoroki from the top rope, but the crowd cheered as Todoroki hit multiple back elbows to the side of Jean's head. Jean countered with multiple clubs to the back and attempted to put Todoroki in position for a Back Superplex. However, Todoroki responded with multiple open-palm strikes while putting him in a front facelock before pushing him off of the top rope. The crowd continued cheering as Manny put Soul on his knees, and hit him with a Snap DDT and while Jean was staggering, Todoroki dived off of the top rope, hitting Jean with a Diving Moonsault to a standing Jean before going for a pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.
Ref: 1…2..
Before Todoroki could get up, Manny hit Todoroki with a single-leg basement Dropkick to the side of the face with enough force to send him staggering out of the ring and onto the floor. The crowd continued booing as Manny hit a Springboard Leg Drop across the back of Todoroki's head, also sending his face crashing onto the padded steel floor.
"Wow! Manny with a Springboard Leg Drop onto the outside! This is the biggest opportunity Manny's been afforded, and he knows not to let it slip past him!" Okabe exclaimed as Manny grabbed Todoroki, and threw him face-first into the steel wall of the Chamber a couple of times. Meanwhile, in the ring, Jean got back to his feet at the same time Soul did, and the two responded by exchanging punches with each other. Soul was able to win this brawl by hitting Jean in the face with a Jumping Knee, attempting to hit him with a Scoop Slam, but Jean was able to counter this by hitting Soul with a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors.
"I don't like Jean at all and think he's an idiot, but when he does things like that Headscissors, I can't deny his skill in the ring," Beth admitted as Jean picked Soul up, and attempted to hit him with the Feast Your Eyes (Argentine Backbreaker Transitioned into a Knee Lift), but Soul was able to grab Jean's knee, and push Jean away, sending him into the ropes before sending him down with a Running Back Elbow after feigning a kick to the gut. On the outside, Todoroki began fighting back against Manny with several kicks to the chest, but Manny was able to push the leg away, kick Todoroki in the face, and backed away to hit Todoroki with a Shotgun Dropkick, sending Todoroki's back crashing against the chain-link wall.
"I remember a time many months ago when Manny was beaten by Todoroki in a matter of seconds. Now, Manny's able to go toe-to-toe with Todoroki, even dominating him," Okabe explained as Manny picked Todoroki up, and hit him with a Scoop Slam before going for the pin, hooking both of his legs back.
Ref: 1…2..
Meanwhile, back in the ring, Soul ran the ropes and attempted to hit him with a Top Rope Lionsault, but Jean was able to roll out of the way. Soul, however, was able to land on his feet and attempted to once again hit another Back Elbow. However, the crowd booed as Jean hit Soul with a German Suplex that sent Soul's chest crashing into the top rope. Jean kept Soul draped onto the top rope, hitting him with several punches to the head before running the ropes, springboarding off of the middle rope, and hitting a still-dangling Soul with a Springboard Moonsault to Soul's back.
"Wow! Jean continuing to pull out all the stops in this Elimination Chamber match!" Beth exclaimed as on the outside, Manny picked Todoroki up in a seated position, and hit him with multiple elbow strikes to the top of the head, causing the bleeding to start up again. The crowd continued booing as Manny threw Todoroki into the chain-link wall before pressing his forearm into the back of Todoroki's head. Blood dripped down onto the outside camera as Todoroki grit his teeth in pain while Manny continued pressing his face against the wall. Manny then bounced off of the ropes and hit Todoroki with multiple Running Clotheslines to the back of Todoroki's head while he was leaning into the steel-chain wall face-first before hitting Todoroki with a Running Knee to the back of the head before rolling him up with a Backslide, using the chains for leverage by putting his feet on the chains.
Ref: 1…2…
"Manny trying to take advantage of the no-DQ rules by using the chain to add more leverage to his pin, but Todoroki was still able to kick out!" Okabe exclaimed as Manny immediately picked Todoroki up, and threw him back into the ring. The crowd continued booing and chanting that Manny sucked before Manny jumped up onto the top rope, and hit a stunned Todoroki with a Diving Hurricanrana. Meanwhile, Jean picked Soul up and attempted to hit him with a Powerbomb, but Soul tried to hit him with multiple punches and when Soul attempted to counter with a Frankensteiner, Jean was able to keep Soul in a Powerbomb position, and before Soul could re-counter, Jean threw Soul into Todoroki and Manny with a Corner Powerbomb, sending Soul and Manny's heads colliding, while Todoroki got hit with Soul's elbow.
"Jean taking the other competitors in the Elimination Chamber down with only one Powerbomb!" Cornette exclaimed as the timer once again appeared on the TitanTron, and while the timer continued going off, Jean ran the ropes and hit a Double Clothesline onto both Soul and Manny. Jean then hit a Double Standing Moonsault onto Soul and Manny, but Todoroki attempted to lock him in a Rear Naked Choke, the crowd cheering as Jean tried to throw Todoroki off of him. Todoroki then hit several elbow strikes to the top of Jean's head, sending him falling onto one knee, the crowd cheering as Jean began fading. While Jean was struggling, the timer went off, and the light over Valentino's pod lit up, the crowd cheering as Valentino ran out of the pod, and into the ring, the crowd exploding as Manny noticed that Valentino was in the ring, and attempted to back away.
"Manny looks like he just pissed himself seeing Valentino in the ring!" Beth exclaimed as Manny attempted to run out of the ring, but Valentino grabbed Manny by the hair, the crowd exploding into cheers as he clubbed Manny's back multiple times before throwing him overhead with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex. Meanwhile, Jean was able to stand up and walk himself out of the ring while Todoroki continued keeping Jean in the Rear Naked Choke. However, Jean began ramming Todoroki back first into the steel chain wall, but the crowd cheered as Todoroki continued keeping Jean in the Rear Naked Choke. Jean responded by ramming Todoroki's back into the Plexiglas Chamber Pod, but the crowd's cheers increased as Soul ran out of the ring, and hit Jean with a Running Shotgun Dropkick hard enough to both Jean and Todoroki through the Plexiglas Pod.
"Soul coming out of nowhere, sending both Todoroki and Jean through the Plexiglas!" Okabe exclaimed in shock as back in the ring, Manny attempted to crawl away from Valentino again, but Valentino grabbed Manny, and hit him with a Deadlift Gutwrench Powerbomb. The crowd continued cheering as Valentino ran the ropes to hit Manny with a running Senton Splash to Manny's chest before picking him up and throwing him into the corner. Valentino hit Manny with several Frying Pan Chops to the chest, but when he attempted to run the ropes for a running corner move, Soul rolled into the ring, hitting a Rolling Neckbreaker onto Valentino before running into the corner, and hitting Manny with a Running Knee Strike to the side of the head.
"Soul just stopped Valentino's flurry dead in its tracks, and is now the only man in this Chamber, aside from the yet-to-be-released Kaminari, standing!" Okabe exclaimed as Soul climbed up to the middle turnbuckle, and hit Manny with multiple punches to the side of the head, and threw him out of the corner with a Monkey Flip, sending him crashing back into Valentino. The crowd continued cheering as Soul picked Manny back up and hit him with several chops to the chest, but when he attempted to Irish whip him into the ropes, Manny was able to bounce off of the middle rope and hit Soul with a Springboard Arm Drag. When Soul got back up to his feet, Manny took him down with a Dropkick to the side of the face before springboarding off of the middle rope, and hit Soul with a Springboard Twisting Splash before going for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…2..
"Nice series of moves by Manny, able to take control from Soul and be the only man standing!" Cornette exclaimed as Manny quickly went to Valentino, stomping on his back and chest before putting him in the ropes. Manny started choking Valentino with his foot, yelling at him that he's a loser just like the rest of the fans before attempting to hit Valentino with another Springboard Twisting Crossbody, but Valentino was able to raise his knees up, sending Manny's gut crashing into his knees. The crowd continued cheering as Valentino hit a couple of Back Elbows to the side of Manny's head before hitting a still-standing Manny with a Springboard Middle Rope Moonsault before going for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…2..
"Manny needs to learn to keep his mouth shut. If he had, maybe Valentino wouldn't have been able to take control so easily," Beth explained as Valentino noticed that Soul was getting back up, and hit him with a Samoan Drop before kipping back up to his feet, and hitting Soul with a Standing Moonsault to the chest. Valentino kipped back up again, and when he saw Manny come back at him, Valentino hit him with another Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex, sending him crashing into the corner upside down. The crowd continued cheering as Valentino ran the ropes, hitting Manny with a Cannonball Senton before hitting Soul with a Running Crossbody, but Soul was able to roll over into a pinfall.
Ref: 1…2..
"Soul almost got the pinfall there! And Valentino looks completely shocked that he was almost pinned there!" Cornette exclaimed as Soul and Valentino started exchanging punches with each other in the ring. However, the crowd booed as Jean Kirstein Chokeslammed Todoroki into the broken pod and onto the Plexiglas before springboarding back into the ring, hitting Valentino and Soul with a Double Springboard Bulldog. Jean blew some kisses to the female fans he thought were cheering him before picking Soul up, and throwing him into the corner. The crowd continued cheering as Jean ran into the corner, hitting Soul with a Running Corner Leg Lariat before throwing him out of the corner, jumping up to the middle turnbuckle, and hitting Soul with a Middle Rope Missile Dropkick.
"Jean coming back into this match in a big way, showing off his surprising amount of athleticism!" Okabe exclaimed as Jean stomped on Soul several times before the timer appeared on the TitanTron. As the timer went down, Jean attempted to hit Soul with a Chokeslam, but Valentino hit Jean with a Running Dropkick to the back, sending Jean falling face first onto the mat and Soul falling over the top rope and onto the padded steel floor. Valentino then ran the ropes to hit Jean with a Running Senton to the chest before the timer went off, opening Kaminari's pod door, much to the crowd's chagrin. However, rather than get into the ring, Kaminari grabbed Soul, and threw him into the steel chain wall, the crowd continuing to boo as Kaminari grabbed Soul's head, and forced him to bite down on one of the chains. Kaminari then pressed his knee against the back of Soul's head, pressing his face and teeth into the steel, Kaminari mocking the booing fans by sarcastically applauding Soul.
"Now we have all the participants in the Elimination Chamber! Who is going to be the one to face Natsu at StarShow!?" Beth asked as Kaminari let go of Soul, but kicked the chain of the wall, sending the chain crashing into Soul's teeth, causing him to roll away in pain, holding his now-bleeding mouth. Kaminari then kicked Soul in the midsection several times before going over to a still-dazed Todoroki, mounting him, and hitting him with multiple punches and forearms to the side of the face. While Soul was checking on his mouth, Valentino and Jean exchanged forearms in the middle of the ring, with Jean attempting to win this brawl with a Spinning Leg Lariat, which Valentino dodged, hitting him with a Spinebuster before going for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…2..
"Valentino almost sent Jean through the floor with a devastating Spinebuster!" Cornette exclaimed as Manny immediately jumped on Valentino's back, attempting to lock him in a Sleeper Hold. However, Valentino was able to counter this by picking Manny up in a Gorilla Press, the crowd cheering as he threw Manny out of the ring and onto Soul while Soul was still down on the floor. The crowd continued cheering as Valentino grabbed Jean, and attempted to hit him with the Weapon V (Gory Special Reverse STO), but Jean was able to counter with a Japanese Arm Drag, the crowd cheering as Jean hit a stunned Valentino with a Superkick. Jean then attempted to hit him with the Feast Your Eyes (Argentine Backbreaker Transitioned into a Knee Lift), but Valentino was able to counter by hitting Jean with a Standing Discus Forearm.
"Valentino almost sent Jean's jaw into orbit with that Discus Forearm!" Cornette exclaimed as outside of the ring, Kaminari picked Todoroki up and hit him with an Air Raid Crash onto the padded steel floor before attempting to pin him.

Kaminari looked annoyed that Todoroki had rolled his shoulder out, picked him up, and hit him with multiple punches to the side of the head. Kaminari then attempted to hit Todoroki with the AfterShock DDT (Drew McIntyre's Future Shock DDT), but the crowd cheered as Todoroki rammed his back into the steel chain wall multiple times. Kaminari let go of Todoroki after being rammed into the wall several times, allowing Todoroki to back away, and bounce off of the ropes to hit Kaminari with a Running Dropkick that sent the back of his head bouncing off of the steel chain wall. However, when Todoroki attempted to hit Kaminari with an Exploder Suplex, Kaminari hit Todoroki several times in the back of the head with elbow strikes before attempting to throw him into another Chamber pod, but Todoroki was able to counter by throwing Kaminari into the pod chest and face first.
"Kaminari and Todoroki continuing their no-disqualifications match from the most recent episode of Octane!" Okabe exclaimed as back in the ring, Valentino picked a dazed Jean up and hit him with the Weapon V (Gory Special Reverse STO). Valentino then noticed that both Manny and Soul were back on their feet, exchanging forearms with each other, which Valentino responded by running the ropes and hitting both men with a Vaulting Somersault Senton, sending both of them back down before he ran back into the ring. Valentino ran at a downed Jean, hitting him with a Running Shooting Star Press before jumping into the corner and onto the top turnbuckle. However, when he got onto the top turnbuckle, Valentino looked up at the top of the Chamber pod, the crowd exploding into cheers as Valentino began climbing up the pod.
"I don't like where this is going! What does Valentino have in mind here!?" Beth asked as Valentino balanced himself on top of the chamber pod, when he saw that Jean was still down on the ground, Valentino turned around, the crowd once again exploding into cheers as he hit Jean with a Diving Moonsault. Valentino held his gut in pain as Jean writhed on the floor in agony, but outside of the ring, Manny was able to throw Soul into another pod before rolling into the ring, picking Valentino up, and hitting him with a kick to the balls. The crowd began booing as Manny grabbed a stunned Valentino by the hair, yelling that he should never have gotten involved with him, Rachel, and Baam. Manny then went into the corner, waiting for Valentino to stand back up, and when he did, Manny ran up at him and hit him with the Running Blockbuster before going for the pinfall, hooking both of her legs back.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Valentino Calavera has been eliminated!" Tim Barr announced as the crowd booed while Manny mocked the crowd by pretending to cry before walking up to one of the cameras, telling Frida that he hoped that leaving him for that pile of jelly was worth it. Manny then blew a kiss towards the camera before noticing that Soul was getting back into the ring, and Manny responded by springboarding off of the middle turnbuckle, and hitting a Springboard Basement Dropkick to the side of Soul's head while he was trying to get back into the ring. The crowd continued booing as Jean rolled out of the ring while Manny stomped on the back of Soul's head multiple times.
"Manny taking advantage of Valentino's incredible dive from the top of the chamber pod to score the first elimination of this contest!" Okabe exclaimed as outside of the ring, Kaminari and Todoroki exchanged punches to the sides of each other's faces, but the crowd booed as Kaminari raked Todoroki's eyes. The crowd continued booing as Kaminari picked Todoroki up, put him in a Powerbomb position, bounced him off of the top rope, and then hit him with a Powerbomb into the chain walls. The crowd continued booing as Kaminari hit Todoroki with another Powerbomb into the chain wall before attempting to throw him into another Chamber pod, but Todoroki was able to counter, sending Kaminari crashing through another pod with a Frankensteiner. The crowd exploded into cheers as Todoroki staggered back to his feet, and leaned over the ropes while trying to wipe the blood out of his face.
"We're not going to have any Plexiglas left for these pods once this match is done!" Beth exclaimed as in the ring, Manny picked Soul up and hit him with multiple punches to the face before taking him into the corner. Manny slid to the other side of the ring before running into the corner with a Corner Spinning Wheel Kick to the side of Soul's face before jumping up to the top rope, pushing Soul out of the corner with his foot, and hitting a Diving Missile Dropkick to the back of his head. The crowd continued booing as Manny ran the ropes, and hit several sliding leg drops across the back of Soul's neck, seeing that Jean was still trying to recover from that top of the pod Moonsault. Manny grabbed Soul and attempted to lock him in a Crossface, but Soul fought to keep Manny's wrists and hands away from his face and throat.
"Manny dominating Soul in the ring, taking advantage of the fact he's all alone in the ring, but looking at Todoroki, that's not going to last long," Cornette noted as Manny attempted to switch to a Camel Clutch, but this allowed Soul to roll out of Manny's way, and hit him with several forearms in return, including a Ripcord Discus Forearm. The crowd continued cheering as Soul ran the ropes, hit several Clotheslines, and a Flapjack before kipping back to his feet and running the ropes to hit Manny with a Basement Single Leg Running Knee to the side of the head, sending Manny staggering towards the ropes. Soul then ran the ropes, hitting Manny with a Running Dropkick to the chest before hitting him with a Tornado DDT and going for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…2…
"Soul almost getting the pinfall elimination there, but Manny showing his resiliency by barely kicking out!" Okabe exclaimed as Soul picked Manny up, and attempted to hit him with the Soul Eater (Gourdbuster GTS), but Manny was able to counter with multiple knee strikes to the chest and the top of his head. The crowd continued booing as Manny hit Soul with a Tornado DDT of his own before attempting to take Todoroki down with a Superkick, but Todoroki blocked the kick and hit Manny with a Dragon Screw over the top rope. While Manny was holding his leg in pain, Todoroki hit Manny with a High Head Kick to the side of the head, sending Manny staggering away from the ropes. The crowd continued cheering as Todoroki springboarded back into the ring, hitting Manny with a Springboard Hot and Cold (Mushroom Stomp) before going for the pinfall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, 'the One and Only' Manny Rivera has been eliminated!" Tim Barr announced as Todoroki immediately climbed up to the top rope, and hit a downed Soul with a Diving Double Foot Stomp to the chest. Todoroki rolled off of Soul and attempted another move onto Soul, but Kaminari got back to his feet, ran back into the ring, and intercepted a running Todoroki with a Surge (Claymore Kick), turning Todoroki inside out while Rachel was yelling at the referee that he counted Manny out too fast. While Oso was helping Manny up the entrance ramp, the crowd cheered as Valentino rushed down the entranceway, and tackled both Oso and Manny down to the ground. The crowd continued cheering as Valentino mounted Manny, and hit him with multiple mounted forearms and punches.
"Manny may have been eliminated, but he still has problems on the outside, as Valentino is raining down punches on him!" Cornette exclaimed as Rachel jumped onto Valentino's back, and attempted to pull him off of Manny. Valentino attempted to shake her off, but this allowed Oso to get back to his feet, and knock Valentino down with a Big Boot. Multiple referees then came rushing from the Chamber to the middle of the entranceway to try and break up the brawl. Jean, meanwhile, took advantage of the Chamber door being opened, reaching underneath the ring underneath the Chamber, and grabbing a steel chair, the crowd booing as Jean coughed up some blood before rolling back into the Chamber while maintaining his grip on the chair.
"Jean taking advantage of the chaos outside to get himself an equalizer! Hopefully, once his breath comes back into his body, he can use that chair to his advantage," Okabe stated as back in the ring, Kaminari picked Todoroki up and hit him with several Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before picking him up for another Air Raid Crash. By this point, the referees and security on the outside have been able to separate Valentino, Manny, Rachel, and El Oso and send them away before coming back to the chamber. Meanwhile, the crowd cheered as Todoroki countered by hitting Kaminari with several elbow strikes to the back, and rolled Kaminari down with a Sunset Flip, but rather than go for the pin, Todoroki kipped back up to his feet and hit Kaminari in the chest with a Jumping Double Foot Stomp. Todoroki then attempted to hit Soul with a Running Knee Strike, but Soul was able to counter this with a Sit-Out Powerbomb before going for a pinfall.
Ref: 1…2…
"Soul with an awesome Sit-Out Powerbomb onto his former rival, but Todoroki was able to kick out, even kicking Soul in the face!" Beth exclaimed as Soul picked Todoroki up, and attempted to hit him with another Ripcord Discus Forearm, but Todoroki was able to counter by dodging the forearm and hitting Soul with a couple of kicks to the side of the head. Todoroki attempted to hit a Spinning Roundhouse Kick onto Soul, but Soul dodged and hit him with a Reverse STO that sent Todoroki's back crashing onto his right knee. Soul attempted to pick Todoroki up for a Reverse STO, but Kaminari countered by hitting Soul in the face with a Superkick. Kaminari then kicked Todoroki in the chest and ran the ropes to hit a Running Knee Strike to the side of his head before hitting him with a Powerbomb into a Double-Knee Backbreaker. Kaminari then ran into the corner at Soul, but Soul was able to counter with a Corner Superkick, sending him staggering away. However, when Soul jumped onto the middle rope, Jean got back to his feet, hitting Soul in the back with a steel chair, sending Soul falling off of the middle rope and onto the floor.
"Jean finally coming back into this match, sending Soul falling to the floor thanks to that steel chair shot!" Cornette exclaimed as Jean went back into the ring, and hit Kaminari in the chest with the steel chair multiple times before hitting Todoroki in the back and the chest with the chair while he was lying down. Jean then set the chair up in the middle of the ring, ran the ropes, and used the chair to hit a Top Rope Springboard Moonsault onto Todoroki. The crowd continued booing as while Kaminari was climbing into the corner, Jean ran the ropes and hit a Running Big Boot into the corner before throwing him out of the corner with an Exploder Suplex. The crowd continued booing as Jean grabbed the steel chair from the ground and wedged it into the corner before grabbing Kaminari by the throat, and pulling him back up to his feet.
"Jean is able to turn this match around, once again, thanks to that steel chair, and looks like he's about to hit Kaminari with that Sit-Out Chokeslam!" Beth exclaimed as Jean attempted to hit Kaminari with that Sit-Out Chokeslam, but Kaminari was able to counter by poking Jean in the eye. Kaminari then pushed Jean into another corner and hit him with multiple punches to the side of the face before attempting to put him in position for the Hangman DDT, but Jean was able to push him away and attempted to hit him with a Spinning Leg Lariat, but Kaminari was able to counter, attempting to hit him with a Running Knee Lift to the face, but Jean was able to dodge, throwing Kaminari into the ropes. When Kaminari rebounded off of the ropes, Jean hit him with a Sit-Out Hip Toss, but when he got up, Soul springboarded back into the ring, hitting Jean with a Springboard Tornado DDT onto Jean before going for the pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.

"Jean barely kicking out of that surprise Springboard DDT by Soul! Soul looks shocked that he didn't get the elimination there!"

However, Jean was able to land on his feet and hit Soul with a Spinebuster, the crowd booing as Jean went into the corner, and jumped up to the top turnbuckle. Jean attempted to prepare himself for the Jean-ton Bomb (Swanton Bomb), but the crowd cheered as Todoroki flipped into the corner, hitting Jean in the back of the head with a Cardiac Kick. Todoroki then climbed up to the top rope, attempting to hit Jean with a Superplex, but Jean started fighting back with several punches to the gut. Todoroki and Jean began exchanging punches with each other before Soul got up, climbed into the corner next to Soul, and joined in on brawling Jean with Todoroki while trying to put him in position for a Double Superplex.
"Soul and Todoroki trying to muster enough strength to try and throw Jean off of the top turnbuckle!" Beth exclaimed as Kaminari got back up to his feet, clubbed both Todoroki and Soul in the back, grabbed them both, and pulled them down from the top rope, hitting both Soul and Todoroki with a middle rope Powerbomb, which in turn sent Jean falling down from the top with a Double Superplex, resulting in a Tower of Doom. The crowd booed as Kaminari climbed up to the top rope, hitting Todoroki with a Frog Splash before going for the pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.

"Kaminari getting three failed pinfalls, but he can't afford to get frustrated here, as he has his best opportunity to eliminate the remaining three participants!" Okabe exclaimed as Kaminari stomped on Todoroki several times before going over to Soul, and attempting to hit him with the AfterShock DDT (Future Shock DDT). However, Soul was able to counter by jumping up, and hitting Kaminari with a Hurricanrana that sent him into the corner, but he didn't see Jean coming with a Savate Kick to the side of the head before being thrown into the corner where the steel chair had been placed, sending Soul crashing through the chair head-first. Jean then grabbed Soul in an Argentine Backbreaker position, and hit him with the Feast Your Eyes (Argentine Backbreaker Transitioned into a Knee Lift) before going for the pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.

Cornette exclaimed as Jean picked Todoroki up, and attempted to hit him with the Feast Your Eyes (Argentine Backbreaker Transitioned into a Knee Lift). However, the crowd exploded into cheers as Todoroki was able to block Jean's knee, and hit him with a Scorpion Kick as a counter. Jean staggered into the ropes, as Todoroki ran the ropes, and took Jean back down with a Spinning Roundhouse Kick before kicking the back of his neck while he was on all fours. Todoroki then went into the corner, preparing to hit the Hot and Cold (Mushroom Stomp), but when he attempted to, Jean picked him up and put him in a Powerbomb position.
"Jean countering the Hot and Cold, knowing that if Todoroki was able to hit the move, he'd crush Jean's chest!" Beth exclaimed as Jean attempted to hit him with a Powerbomb, but Todoroki was able to counter this with a Cutter, the crowd cheering as Todoroki immediately transitioned into a Dragon Slayer (Inverted Dragon Sleeper). Jean attempted to grab Todoroki's hair and chin to try and pull him off, but Todoroki continued choking him with the Dragon Slayer. Jean then tried to stand back on his feet, but the crowd exploded into cheers as Todoroki kneed Jean in the gut and midsection multiple times, sending him back down onto all fours. After another moment in the Dragon Slayer, Jean tapped out, the crowd exploding as Todoroki let go of Jean, who was now bleeding from the mouth.
"Ladies and gentlemen, 'The Definition of Perfection' Jean Kirstein has been eliminated as a result of a submission!"

The crowd booed as Kaminari ran the ropes, and attempted to hit another Sliding Knee Strike onto Todoroki, but Todoroki dodged and attempted to hit Kaminari with a Float Over DDT, but Kaminari threw Todoroki overhead with a Release Northern Lights Suplex. Kaminari then threw Todoroki over the top rope and ran the ropes to hit Todoroki with a Suicide Dive that sent Todoroki's back crashing into the steel chain wall.
"Todoroki and Kaminari are the last two remaining! Who will be the one to headline StarShow!?" Beth asked as Kaminari grabbed one of the broken pieces of Plexiglas from one of the broken pods, and attempted to hit Todoroki with it, but Todoroki was able to dodge, kick Kaminari in the side of the head, grab the piece of Plexiglas, and hit Kaminari in the head with the Plexiglas several times, sending him staggering away while his head began bleeding. Todoroki attempted to hit Kaminari in the gut with the Plexiglas, but Kaminari was able to dodge, sending the piece of Plexiglas stuck in the chain. Todoroki was distracted enough for Kaminari to hit Todoroki with another Superkick to the side of the head.
"Todoroki could've sliced Kaminari's chest open with that attempted Plexiglas shot!" Okabe exclaimed in horror as Kaminari kicked Todoroki in the gut, and attempted to hit him with a Double Underhook Piledriver on the floor, but Todoroki was able to push Kaminari away before attempting to hit him with a Spinning Roundhouse Kick, but Kaminari was able to dodge.

"I'm shocked Kaminari kicked out of that, but I'm even more shocked that Todoroki was able to use the side of the Chamber pod as a springboard!" Okabe exclaimed as Todoroki picked Kaminari up, and hit him with several Knife-Edge Chops to the chest, but Kaminari responded to the chops by spitting in Todoroki's face, the crowd booing loudly as Kaminari yelled at Todoroki that he wasn't going to lose this chance at Starshow. Todoroki looked furious at being spat at, grabbed Kaminari by the hair, and slammed his face into the steel chain wall multiple times before throwing him into the pod that had been broken earlier in the match. Todoroki slammed the back of Kaminari's head into the Plexiglas wall of the pod before hitting him with multiple forearms to the side of the face.
"Kaminari might be regretting that act of defiance to Todoroki, as Todoroki is using his head as a heavy bag, and almost breaking the remaining Plexiglas wall with the back of Kaminari's head!" Cornette exclaimed as Todoroki picked Kaminari back up, and threw Kaminari out of the pod with an Exploder Suplex before going for another pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.
Ref: 1…2…
Kaminari crawled away from Todoroki, blood still coming out of his head while Todoroki looked irritated at the fact that Kaminari had kicked out. Todoroki kicked Kaminari several times in the chest and the arm before backing away, waiting for Kaminari to get back up to his feet. When Kaminari staggered back to his feet thanks to the ropes, Todoroki attempted to hit the Hot & Cold (Mushroom Stomp), but Kaminari was able to counter this by hitting Todoroki with a Stun Gun onto the top rope. The crowd continued booing as Kaminari opened up the Chamber pod, put Todoroki's head in the pod, and slammed the door into the side of Todoroki's head multiple times.
"Oh my God! Kaminari's slamming that heavy door into the side of Todoroki's head!" Beth exclaimed in worry as Kaminari ran his hand through his bloody blonde hair, pulling back the protective mats. Kaminari then grabbed an unconscious Todoroki by his hair and threw him into the piece of Plexiglas trapped in the chain, sending Todoroki's throat crashing into it. The crowd continued booing as Kaminari grabbed a coughing Todoroki, put him in a Double Underhook position, and hit Todoroki with the AfterShock DDT (Future Shock DDT), sending his head bouncing off of the steel floor before going for the pinfall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Shoto Todoroki has been eliminated. Therefore, here is your winner, and new #1 contender for the BTWF Championship at StarShow, Denki Kaminari!" Tim Barr announced, the crowd booing as Kaminari leaned back into the steel chain wall. Kaminari once again ran both his hands through his blonde hair as Tim Scam jumped up and down in celebration on the outside before running into the ring. The crowd continued booing as Scam ran over to Kaminari, kneeling in front of him to hug Kaminari in celebration, which Kaminari quickly reciprocated.
"Kaminari just scored the biggest victory of his career, and is heading to StarShow with a guaranteed BTWF title match!" Cornette exclaimed as Scam helped Kaminari up, raising his fist in the air in victory. The crowd continued booing as Kaminari and Scam walked into the center of the ring, Kaminari saying that the BTWF Championship was going to be his and that Natsu should be ready. While Kaminari and Scam continued their celebration in the ring, the crowd exploded into cheers as Natsu Dragneel walked out of the back with the BTWF Championship slung over his shoulder.
"And it looks like the BTWF Champion is coming out here to congratulate the new #1 contender!" Beth exclaimed as Scam and Kaminari stopped celebrating when they noticed that Natsu was walking into the ring. While a couple of referees helped Todoroki out of the Chamber, Natsu walked up to Kaminari, smirked at him, and patted the BTWF Championship before saying 'congratulations'. Kaminari raised an eyebrow as Natsu outstretched his hand for a handshake, which Kaminari looked at in disbelief. The crowd booed as Kaminari slapped Natsu in the side of the face, grabbing the BTWF Championship and raising it over his head.
"Well, it looks like Kaminari isn't interested in showing respect, and is only interested in winning the BTWF Championship," Okabe responded as Natsu held the side of his face, the smirk still on his face while Kaminari yelled at Natsu that this was going to be the result of StarShow. Natsu turned around and told Kaminari that he better bring this fire to StarShow because if he doesn't, he's not going to win the BTWF Championship. Scam told Natsu he wasn't going to have to worry about that as he patted Kaminari on the shoulder, the show fades to black as Natsu grabbed the BTWF Championship back from Kaminari, the two going nose-to-nose with each other, continuing to exchange trash talk.
