BTWF Octane (March Week 4)

The show opened up with #1 contender for the BTWF Championship Denki Kaminari and his agent, Tim Scam, walking out of their car, and heading to the ring. Kaminari and Scam began talking strategy with each other before Todd Grisham came up to the both of them, Kaminari looking annoyed as Scam patted him on the shoulder in support.

"Kaminari, sorry to interrupt you on your way to the locker room, but tonight, you're going to battle Black Star tonight, and I wanted to get your thoughts on that," Todd asked as Kaminari simply chuckled before asking Scam to take over the interview, which Scam responded to by walking up to Todd and putting the microphone closer to his mouth.

"This was actually something that we asked for. I can tell that you're surprised by that, so let me explain; a few weeks ago when Natsu defended the BTWF Championship against Black Star, it made me realize that it took him almost 20 minutes to do so. So tonight, Kaminari is going to show Natsu how a REAL champion handles the dross," Scam explained, with Todd nodding along, though he still looked absolutely befuddled as to why Kaminari would risk injury in a match before his big title match.

"Thank you for explaining. Now Kaminari, are you worried about any possible attack by Natsu, returning the favor from last week?" Todd asked as Kaminari raised an eyebrow and chuckled before responding.

"I wouldn't be surprised if Natsu tried something like that, but if he tries anything like that tonight, I'll kick his ass just like I did last week. And that will just be a preview of what will happen at StarShow when I beat him and become the BTWF Champion that I've deserved to be since I debuted for the BTWF!" Kaminari exclaimed as he ran both his hands through his hair while Todd looked a little freaked out at Kaminari's response. Todd attempted to ask some more questions, but Scam got in between the two, patting Kaminari on the back to try and calm him down.

"Well, Todd, this has been fun, but we have a match to prepare for, so that'll be all for the questions today," Scam said, leading Kaminari away from Todd, the two heading into the building as the camera panned to the stage. 'Are You Ready' by Disturbed began playing, the crowd exploding into cheers as pyro began going off around the stage and the TitanTron. The camera panned around to the cheering fans, who were chanting 'BTWF!' and showing off their homemade signs. The camera then panned around the ringside area before landing on the commentary table, where the commentary team were seated and ready for the show.

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to another episode of BTWF Octane! We're only days away from BTWF StarShow, the biggest event in the Fanfiction Wrestling Multiverse, and we've got another action-packed episode for you! From Henderson, Nevada, I'm Nigel McGuiness alongside Beth Vanderwood and Rintaro Okabe!" Nigel introduced with Beth and Okabe waved at the camera, though chuckled slightly, much to Nigel's confusion.

"Funny, I thought this state was called Las Vegas, Nigel," Beth joked, bringing up Nigel's mistake from the last episode of Octane, which Nigel responded to with a laugh before Dragon Lee's 'Catch Me in the Pit' theme song played, the crowd cheering as Valentino came walking out of the back with a lucha mask on his face. While Kam, Eddie, and Nico followed him out of the back, Valentino took off his mask and spat water in the air before heading to the ring with his partners following him.

"Well, while you two are joking around, we have the competitors in our opening match ready for a fight!" Okabe exclaimed as Valentino fist-bumped several fans in the front row while holding his mask in the other hand. Kam, Eddie, and Nico high-fived several fans in the front row, with Nico shaking the cameras in front of them while sticking his tongue out. Valentino then raised his mask over his head, and put it on a younger fan at ringside, giving him a high-five before continuing his walk to the ring, with Kam and Eddie continuing to high-five fans.

"The following contest is an eight-man tag team match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, the team of Valentino Calavera, Nico, and the team of Kam Chin & Eddie Laurence!" Mary Hughes announced, the crowd continuing to cheer as Valentino stopped at the ringside area, and when Nico, Kam, and Eddie caught up with them and high-fived each other before sliding into the ring. Valentino kipped back up to his feet, and ran over to the ropes, shooting both his fists up while Kam and Eddie jumped up to the top turnbuckles on both sides of Valentino, and pointed at each other.

"Kam and Eddie debuted last week in the Tag Team Gauntlet match, and got a big victory over Manabo and Owen! They're looking to continue that momentum here tonight!" Beth exclaimed as Nico rolled around the ring, smirking at the cheering crowd while licking his lips in anticipation. Kam, Eddie, and Valentino pulled Nico into the corner to go over strategy while 'Adonis' by STIM played, the crowd booing as Rachel Light brought out Jean Kirstein, Manny Rivera, and El Oso.

"And their opponents, first, accompanied to the ring by Rachel Light, the team of 'The Definition of Perfection' Jean Kirstein, 'The One and Only' Manny Rivera, and El Oso, the SuperNova!" Mary Hughes announced as Jean gyrated his hips while slowly removing his rope while Manny jumped up to hit El Oso with a high-five. Jean then took his robe off, and threw it behind him while showing off his abs and pecs, telling the fans at home that they know they want him, and they only boo him because they can't have him.

"Rachel has done nothing but cause ire for people like Valentino. Valentino's girlfriend, Frida Suarez, is currently on the shelf because of Rachel and the SuperNova!" Nigel exclaimed as while Rachel led her team down the aisleway, the paparazzi came out with the red carpet as MNM's 'Paparazzi' theme song played, the crowd's boos continuing as the Hollywood Hooligan came out with Mandy following him. Hooligan and Mandy gave the paparazzi on the stage some poses for their pictures.

"And their partner, accompanied to the ring by Mandy DeRoyale, now residing in Hollywood, California, he is the Hollywood Hooligan!" Mary Hughes announced as Hooligan and Mandy walked down the aisleway hand-in-hand while the SuperNova made their way into the ring. Valentino attempted to walk up to Manny, but the crowd booed as Manny hid behind El Oso and told Valentino to wait until the match started. Kam and Eddie started exchanging trash talk with Jean and Oso. Nico, meanwhile, slinked out of the ring and began sneaking over to Hooligan and Mandy, who were too wrapped up in each other to notice.

"Rachel has been keeping Baam away from in-ring competition to make sure that he's training and he can compete to the best of his abilities at StarShow. It also looks like that Nico doesn't want to wait until the match starts!" Okabe exclaimed as Nico jumped onto Hooligan, and hit him with multiple punches to the side of the head while Mandy began screaming at Nico to leave Hooligan alone. In the ring, the referee decided to ring the bell, starting the match with Manny and Kam locking up in the middle of the ring, the crowd cheering as Kam threw Manny down with a Japanese Arm Drag. Kam immediately picked Manny up and threw him into the corner, which Manny responded to by jumping up to the middle rope and attempting to hit Kam with a Frankensteiner, but Kam was able to cartwheel onto his feet.

"And this match is underway! While Nico is beating the crap out of the Hooligan on the outside, Kam is showing off against Manny in the ring!" Beth exclaimed as Kam hit Manny with several punches to the face before picking him up, and attempting to hit him with a Scoop Slam. However, Kam was able to escape this, push Manny into the ropes, and attempt to roll him up, but Manny kept his grip on the ropes. Oso tagged himself in, the crowd booing as he attempted to hit Kam with a Clothesline, but Kam ducked, and hit Oso in the face with a couple of Jumping Dropkicks to the side of the head.

"Kam not backing down from the giant Oso! That's one of the reasons he's been called an Oddity!" Nigel exclaimed as Oso grabbed Kam by the throat, and pushed him away. However, this allowed Kam to tag Eddie into the match, the crowd cheering as the two knocked Oso to his knees with a Double Drop Toe Hold, sending Oso's head draped over the middle rope. The crowd continued cheering as Eddie and Kam ran the ropes, and hit Oso with a Leaping Body Guillotine/Hesitation Dropkick combination. Oso staggered away from the ropes, and Eddie responded by kicking Oso in the side of the knee several times before attempting to put him in decision for the DDT, but the crowd booed as Oso was able to throw Eddie overhead with a Back Body Drop.

"Eddie and Kam showing off some good tag team work, but Oso is still just too powerful!" Okabe exclaimed as Oso threw Eddie into the corner, hit him with several Frying Pan Chops to the chest, and then hit him with several Back Elbow strikes to the side of the head. Oso then grabbed Eddie by the head and threw him out of the corner and halfway across the ring, the crowd continuing to boo as Oso flexed at his opponents while Manny yelled at the fans that Oso was his main man.

"Oso showing off some impressive strength there, and if I were Valentino, I would be worried!" Nigel exclaimed as Oso stomped on Eddie's chest several times before running the ropes, and attempted to hit him with a Jumping Elbow Drop. However, the crowd cheered as Eddie was able to roll out of the way, causing Oso to crash into the mat arm first, with Eddie running the ropes, and hitting Oso in the side of the head with a couple of Running Big Boots to the side of the head before tagging Kam into the match. Eddie hit Oso with a Snap DDT while Oso was on his knees, allowing Kam to hit a Springboard Frog Splash onto Oso before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…

Oso pushed Kam off of him, and Kam responded with several kicks to the chest, but when Kam ran the ropes, Oso stunned Kam with a chop to the chest before tagging Manny back into the match. Manny ran the ropes and attempted to hit him with a Jumping Clothesline, but Kam responded with a Jumping Dropkick to the chest.

"I have to hand it to Kam and Eddie; they're doing a really good job of putting the pedal to the metal and making sure that Oso can't dominate them for too long so that they can continue fighting!" Nigel exclaimed as Kam picked Manny up, and hit him with several Knife-Edge Chops, but Manny ducked one of the chops and hit Kam with several kicks to the side of the legs. Manny then wrung Kam's arm and hit him with a Spinning Kick to the gut before running the ropes and attempting to hit him with a Sling Blade, but Kam was able to keep himself on his feet and take Manny down with a Jumping Neckbreaker.

"Kam hitting a very nice Jumping Neckbreaker onto Manny! Valentino has to be happy seeing his StarShow opponent getting his butt kicked!" Beth exclaimed as Kam attempted to hit Manny with a Standing Moonsault, but Manny was able to roll out of the way. Kam landed on his feet and attempted to hit him with a Dropkick, but Manny swiped him away. Meanwhile, outside of the ring, Hooligan and Nico continued brawling on the outside, exchanging punches to the side of the face with Nico throwing Hooligan into the fan barricade. The crowd continued cheering as Nico hit Hooligan with Machine-Gun Knife Edge Chops, which Mandy responded to by grabbing Nico's arm and pulling him away from Hooligan.

"Mandy really should be careful around Nico, who seems to like her about as much as the people in this arena do," Okabe noted as Mandy attempted to slap Nico, but the crowd cheered as he grabbed Mandy's arm, and put her over his shoulders in a Fireman's Carry position. However, Hooligan responded by pulling Mandy off of him and knocking Nico down with a Forearm strike to the back of the head. Meanwhile, Kam picked Manny up and hit him with several jabs to the side of the head before tagging Eddie back into the match. Eddie kneed Manny in the ring and put him in a Russian Legsweep position, and Kam responded by running the ropes, and hitting Manny with a Running Clothesline/Russian Legsweep combination before going for the pinfall.

"While Nico and Hooligan are continuing to brawl on the outside, Eddie and Kam get a two count off that unique tag move!" Nigel exclaimed as Eddie picked Manny up, and hit him with a Scoop Slam before hitting Manny with a Jumping Knee Drop across the side of the face. Eddie then picked Manny up and hit him with a Vertical Suplex before beginning to climb up to the top rope. On the outside, Hooligan threw Nico into the steel ring post face first hard enough to send him falling to another side of the ring. Hooligan noticed Eddie climbing up to the top rope, and responded by jumping up to the apron, and kicking the side of Eddie's leg, sending him landing on his crotch.

"And thanks to the Hollywood Hooligan, The SuperNova has gotten the momentum back on their side!" Okabe exclaimed as Manny ran up to the top rope, and threw Eddie off with a Top Rope Arm Drag. The crowd continued booing as Manny hit Eddie with a Diving Moonsault before rolling to his corner and tagging Jean into the match for the first time. Jean picked Eddie back up to his feet and hit him with several punches to the side of the head before throwing him into the corner and hitting Eddie with a Jumping Corner Back Elbow. Jean then picked Eddie up in a Fireman's Carry, hit him with a Single Knee Gutbuster, and then picked him up to hit him with a Back Suplex.

"Jean absolutely dominating Eddie, not letting him get a single moment to breathe!" Beth exclaimed as Jean stomped on Eddie multiple times before tagging Hooligan back into the match. The crowd continued booing as Jean hit a Standing Moonsault onto Eddie at the same time the Hooligan hit Eddie with a Jumping Leg Drop across the throat. The crowd continued booing as Hooligan mounted Eddie, and hit him with multiple punches to the face before picking him back up, and throwing him into the corner. Hooligan then ran into the corner, hitting Eddie in the face with a Running Knee Strike before wringing his arm, knocking Eddie back down with an Overhead Kick, and going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

"Hooligan may be an arrogant and self-absorbed prick, but he can go in the ring when the time calls for it," Beth begrudgingly admitted as Hooligan hit Eddie in the chest with a Standing Corkscrew Senton before walking over Eddie's body before tagging Oso. The crowd continued booing as Oso picked Eddie up in a Double Chokehold, lifting Oso off of the mat and into the air. The crowd continued booing as Oso dropped Eddie back onto the ground before running the ropes, and hitting a Jumping Elbow Drop to the chest. Eddie attempted to roll to the corner, but Oso grabbed him by the hair and threw him back to the center of the ring with only one hand. The crowd continued booing as Oso kicked Eddie in the side of the head several times before picking him back up, and hitting him with a Frying Pan Chop with enough force to send him staggering into the corner.

"Eddie being overpowered by El Oso! It's crazy how Oso only needs one hand to throw Eddie around the ring!" Nigel exclaimed as Oso threw Eddie back into his team's corner, and ran into the corner with a Running Corner Clothesline before tagging Manny back into the match. Oso slammed Eddie out of the corner, sending him crashing face-first into the mat while Manny climbed up onto Oso's shoulders. The crowd continued booing as Manny spat at the angry fans, hitting a Diving Corkscrew Splash onto Eddie before Oso noticed that Nico started climbing back into the ring, and knocked him back onto the floor with a Savate Kick to the side of the head. While the referee told Oso to get back onto the ring apron, Rachel and Mandy stomped on Nico multiple times while Oso finally got back onto the apron.

"I was wondering when Rachel and Mandy would get involved in this match, and they didn't disappoint," Okabe noted dryly as Manny picked Eddie up by the hair, and clubbed him in the back multiple times before running the ropes and jumping off the middle rope to hit Eddie with a Springboard Tornado DDT. The crowd continued booing as Manny looked over at Valentino, and slapped him in the face, telling him that he was nothing but a loser and that his sloppy seconds known as Frida was a loser like him too. Manny turned around, and the crowd cheered as Eddie hit him with a Jawbreaker, stunning him enough for Eddie to hit Manny with several punches to the face before attempting to take him down with a Russian Legsweep. However, Manny was able to push Eddie away and attempted to hit him with a Superkick, but Eddie was able to grab Manny's foot and hit him with a Powerbomb.

"Eddie finally being able to separate himself from Manny! Can he finally get to his corner for the tag!?" Nigel exclaimed as Eddie crawled over to his corner, with an irate Valentino looking absolutely determined to get back into the ring. However, Manny was able to get back to his feet first and jumped into the corner to tag Hooligan back into the match. Hooligan then ran at Eddie and hit him with a Jumping Double Foot Stomp to the back before dragging him back to the center of the ring, putting Eddie on his knees, hitting him with a Superkick to the side of the head, and going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

"Hooligan ending Eddie's chance of getting to the corner, but he may want to end it soon, as Nico looks like he's getting back up again!" Nigel exclaimed as Hooligan picked Eddie up, hit him with a DDT, and started climbing up to the top rope. The crowd booed as Hooligan smirked at the crowd, balancing himself on the top rope for a Frog Splash, but the crowd cheered as Nico got back on his feet, got onto the apron, and kicked Hooligan in the back of the leg, causing Hooligan's crotch to crash down onto the top turnbuckle. The crowd cheered as Eddie staggered back to his feet, grabbed Hooligan by the hair, and hit him with multiple punches to the side of the head before he climbed back onto the top rope, and threw Hooligan off of the top turnbuckle with a Superplex.

"And thanks to Nico, Eddie has another chance to get into his corner and tag one of his partners in the match!" Okabe exclaimed as Eddie began crawling over to his corner. Hooligan began doing the same thing, and the fans began chanting for Eddie to get to his corner. After a moment, the crowd exploded into cheers as Valentino was finally tagged into the match, and once Hooligan tagged Jean back into the ring, Valentino ran into the ring and knocked Jean down with two Clotheslines, a Flapjack, a Snap Powerslam, and a Standing Moonsault before running the ropes and hitting a Running Shooting Star Press onto Jean's chest. The crowd cheered louder as Valentino knocked Manny off of the apron with a Running Forearm, and stunned Oso with a Back Elbow to the side of the head.

"Valentino is in this match for the first time, and is hitting anything that moves!" Beth exclaimed as Valentino hit a now-standing Jean with a Running Crossbody, immediately pinning him afterward.

Ref: 1…2..

Valentino then grabbed Jean by the throat and attempted to hit him with a Chokeslam, but Jean was able to backflip out of it and hit Valentino with a Superkick to the side of the head. Jean then ran the ropes, and springboarded off the middle rope, attempting to hit him with a Springboard Moonsault, but the crowd cheered as Valentino caught him in mid-air, and hit him with a Running Powerslam.

"Valentino showing off some impressive strength right there, but you have to give credit to Jean's athleticism as well!" Okabe exclaimed as Valentino began climbing up to the top rope, and attempted to hit him with the Val Val Sault (Bam Bam Bigelow's Bam Bam Sault). However, Jean was able to roll out of the way, and despite landing on his feet, Valentino was hit in the face with a Spinning Bicycle Kick to the side of the head before knocking him on his knees with a Discus Forearm to the face. Jean put him on his shoulders, attempting to hit him with the Single Knee Gutbuster again, but the crowd cheered as Valentino hit Jean with multiple Back Elbows to the side of the head. However, Jean was able to keep Valentino in his grasp and send him crashing into the corner with a Running Death Valley Driver.

"A Death Valley Driver right into the corner by Jean! And Valentino's stuck in the Tree of Woe!" Nigel exclaimed as Jean started stomping on an upside-down Valentino's face before choking him with his boot. The crowd continued booing as Jean pushed Valentino back onto the top turnbuckle and hit him with multiple clubs to the back before attempting to hit him with a Top Rope Back Suplex, but the crowd cheered as Valentino was able to shift his body weight, allowing him to crash into Jean, but the crowd booed and cheered in shock at the same time, deadlifting Valentino back up, and hit him with a Swinging Side Slam onto Valentino before springboarding off the middle rope for a Springboard Moonsault and going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"Jean cannot believe that Valentino kicked out, and quite frankly, so am I!" Okabe exclaimed as Jean picked Valentino up, and attempted to hit him with the Feast Your Eyes (Argentine Backbreaker into a Knee Lift). However, Valentino was able to block the knee strike and hit him with a Jumping Kick to the side of the head before rolling back into his corner and tagging Nico into the match for the first time. The crowd continued cheering as Nico jumped up onto the middle rope and hit Jean with a Missile Dropkick. Oso attempted to come into the ring, but Nico ducked his attempt at a Clothesline and hit him with a Pele Kick to the top of the head. The crowd continued cheering as Kam and Eddie both climbed up to the top rope and knocked Oso down with a Double Missile Dropkick.

"Kam and Eddie taking out the giant of the SuperNova! Oso's rolling out of the ring, but Kam and Eddie don't look like they're done yet!" Nigel exclaimed as Eddie climbed up to the top rope, and hit Oso with a Diving Crossbody onto the giant, sending him falling. However, Hooligan turned Eddie inside out with a Star Struck (Bicycle Knee Strike), the crowd booing as Hooligan looked to the camera, and called Eddie nothing but a loser. However, the crowd's boos turned to cheers as Kam hit a Vaulting Fosbury Flop onto Hooligan, knocking him down before picking him up, and throwing him into the steel steps.

"This match is beginning to break down, as Kam knocks Hooligan down a peg with that dive to the outside!" Beth exclaimed as Mandy stomped over to Kam, and began yelling at him for attacking Hooligan. While Kam was arguing with Mandy, Manny ran the ropes and hit Kam with a Suicide Tornado DDT, sending his head bouncing off the padded concrete. Manny walked over to the camera and started gloating in Spanish before telling the crowd that this was just one of the many things he was going to do against Valentino at StarShow. However, the crowd exploded into cheers as Valentino vaulted over the top rope with a Corkscrew Diving Crossbody, knocking Manny down. However, Valentino didn't let up, mounting Manny, and hitting him with multiple punches to the side of the head.

"Valentino finally getting his hands on Manny after the whole match, and he's FURIOUS!" Nigel exclaimed as back in the ring, Jean attempted to hit Nico with a Jumping Spin Kick, but Nico jumped out of the way, hit multiple kicks to the sides of both of Jean's legs, and then bent Jean over with a Spinning Kick to the gut. The crowd continued cheering as Nico springboarded off the middle rope to hit Jean in the back of the head with a Springboard Leg Drop. The crowd continued cheering as Nico ran the ropes, and hit Jean with several Sliding Leg Drops across the throat before jumping onto the middle rope and hitting him with a Corkscrew Elbow Drop before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"Nico almost getting the pin on the Definition of Perfection! He was close, but close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades!" Beth exclaimed as Nico rolled into the corner, attempting to hit Jean with the Lethal Injection (Running Enziguri). However, Jean was able to counter mid-Lethal Injection into a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker before putting Nico back on his shoulders and hitting him with a Death Valley Driver.

"And Jean almost sent Nico through the ring with that Death Valley Driver!" Nigel exclaimed as Jean grabbed Nico by the hair, and threw him into the corner, hitting him with multiple forearms to the face before knocking him loopy with a Back Elbow. The crowd continued booing as Jean ran the ropes, and hit Nico with a Spinning Leg Lariat across the chest before sweeping his leg out, sending Nico into a seated position in front of the bottom turnbuckle. Jean, however, noticed that Kam and Eddie were getting up, so Jean responded by running up to the top rope and hitting both Kam and Eddie with a Diving Moonsault. Valentino and Manny continued fighting as Jean attempted to come back into the ring, but Nico ran out of the corner and planted Jean with a Hurricanrana Driver before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"And Jean kicks out again! What does Nico have to do to get that all-important victory!?" Nigel asked as Nico climbed up to the top rope. While Nico was balancing himself onto the top turnbuckle, Rachel jumped up onto the apron and began arguing with Nico, with the crowd cheering as Nico kicked Rachel in the side of the face, sending her falling off the apron. However, as Nico was preparing for her dive, Rachel grabbed the referee to distract him, allowing Mandy to hit Nico with a low blow before pushing him off the top rope. Jean was able to catch a falling Nico with a Spinning Kick to the face before picking him up and hitting him with a Feast Your Eyes (Argentine Backbreaker into a Knee Lift) before going for the pinfall. Valentino attempted to rush into the ring, but Manny Dropkicked the back of Valentino's knee before throwing him back onto the floor.

*Bell Rings*

"Here are your winners, the Hollywood Hooligan, and the team of 'The Definition of Perfection' Jean Kirstein, 'the One and Only' Manny Rivera, and El Oso, the SuperNova!" Mary Hughes announced, the crowd continuing to boo as Jean ran his hands through his hair with a smirk on his face, telling the fans that he was going to win the Feast or Fired match with Baam's help. Rachel went into the ring, and celebrated along with Jean, Manny, and El Oso, telling the fans that StarShow was going to be the beginning of the SuperNova going all the way to the top while telling Baam that she hopes he's been training.

"A big win here for the SuperNova heading into StarShow! Manny and Jean have some big matches at StarShow, and this win is going to definitely boost their confidence!" Nigel exclaimed as on the other side of the ring, Hooligan grabbed Nico and threw him into the steel steps. The crowd continued booing as Hooligan mounted Nico's back and hit him with multiple Crossface shots before letting Mandy slap Nico in the sides of the face several times before Hooligan picked Nico up, and sent him falling to the ground with a Star Struck (Bicycle Knee Strike).

"Hooligan with the Star Struck onto Nico! Both these men are involved in the BTWF Cruiserweight Championship gauntlet match at StarShow, and one of them could become the #1 contender for the BTWF Cruiserweight Champion!" Okabe exclaimed as Manny looked over the top rope at a downed and frustrated Valentino, spat on him, and told him to go tell his loser girlfriend that he was going to come back from StarShow a loser before cursing him out in Spanish. Valentino simply shook his head, told Manny that he was going to get what was coming to him at StarShow, and walked to the back. Kam and Eddie followed Valentino to the back as the SuperNova continued laughing while Rachel basked in the negative reaction of the fans.

"I've never seen Valentino this furious before. Manny may come to regret all that arrogance come StarShow!" Beth exclaimed as the camera panned to the backstage area while the SuperNova continued celebrating in the ring.

The camera focused on the backstage area, with BTWF United States Champion Shinji Ikari walking into the ring with his championship over his shoulder with a stoic look on his face. Rather than wearing his wrestling attire, Shinji was wearing a white, short-sleeved button-up shirt, and black slacks. While Shinji was walking to the locker room, Jack Korpela came walking up to him with a microphone, stopping Shinji from walking back to the locker room.

"Shinji, I understand that you just got to the show, but the fans and I have wanted to know how you're feeling about your title match against Laxus Dreyar after how he's dominated you these past few weeks. You've been very silent on social media, and haven't made any live event appearances. It's very unlike you, Shinji," Korpela asked. Shinji looked down at Korpela, then to the side at his BTWF United States Championship, and then back at Korpela before sighing and responding.

"It's been…it's been eye-opening if I'm being honest. It's really…showed me just how finite your career really can be," Shinji explained, his eyes once again looking over at the BTWF United States Championship slung over his shoulder.

"What do you mean, Shinji?" Korpela asked, to which Shinji responded with another sigh before looking down to the floor.

"I'm just here to watch Laxus' match. I'm not here for any sort of fight or anything like that, I'm just here to scout my opponent," Shinji responded. Before Korpela could ask him anything else, Shinji walked away, his grip on the BTWF United States Championship slightly tightening.

Korpela looked confused and worried as the camera panned back to the stage, where Cody Rhodes' 'Only One Can Judge' theme song played, with Asuka walking out of the back with Alexis by her side. Asuka kept the hood on her face, screaming at fans not to look at her face, with Alexis parroting what Asuka was telling the fans as they made their way down the aisleway.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Alexis Rhodes, from Berlin Germany, Asuka Langley Soryu!" Mary Hughes announced as Alexis offered some words of support to Asuka, who was too focused on making sure her face was covered from the cameras. Asuka pushed away a couple of cameras as she yelled at a couple of fans who were chanting for Erza, yelling at them that Erza was nothing but scum and that she was the reason that she was ugly. Alexis pulled Asuka away from those fans before she started a fight, telling her to focus on her match tonight and to save Erza for StarShow.

"Asuka is scheduled to take on her former Beautiful People partner Erza Scarlet in a Street Fight at BTWF StarShow, and she looks like she could have that match tonight with how intense she is!" Nigel exclaimed as Asuka got to the ringside area, and took off her jacket and hood, giving it to Alexis as she continued trying to cover her face with her hands. Asuka then walked to the steel steps, looked down at the steps, and growled before walking up the steel steps. Asuka then finally looked up at the fans, revealing the clear protective mask that was still on her face, the crowd continuing to boo as Asuka told the camera that Erza was going to pay for ruining her face.

"Asuka has a constant reminder of her broken nose and orbital bone every day when looking in the mirror, seeing her face covered by the protective mask," Okabe noted as Asuka stomped into the ring, went to the center of the ring, and continued glaring at the booing fans, putting a hand over the front of her mask. Alexis applauded her comrade as she went into the corner to stretch, and while she was stretching, 'Dear Future Self' by Fall Out Boy (feat. Wyclef Jean) played. The crowd began cheering as Alex Vasquez cartwheeled out of the back with Misato following her, applauding her and telling her to focus and she'll be all right.

"And her opponent, accompanied to the ring by BTWF Hall of Famer Misato Katsuragi, from Beverly Hills, California by way of Monterey Mexico, Alex Vasquez!" Mary Hughes announced, the crowd continuing to cheer as she kipped back up to her feet, high-fived Misato, and made her way down the aisleway. Alex high-fived several fans in the front row, glared back at an irate Asuka, and ran over to the ringside area before sliding into the ring from underneath the bottom rope. The crowd continued cheering as Alex rolled back to her feet, and ran into one of the corners, jumping onto the top turnbuckle, and blowing kisses to the cheering fans.

"Alex is going to be at StarShow in the Women's Feast or Fired match, and you know that she wants to build momentum for that match so that she can escape the shadow of Clover and Sam, her fellow Totally Spies!" Nigel exclaimed as Alex took a deep breath before backflipping off of the top turnbuckle and back into the ring. The referee made sure both women were ready, and once both women confirmed that they were, the referee told the timekeeper to ring the bell. Misato and Alexis cheered their respective women on as Alex and Asuka locked up in the middle of the ring. While trying to push each other into the corners, the crowd booed as Asuka hit Alex with a couple of knee strikes to the chest before throwing her into the corner.

"Asuka getting the early advantage in this match, hitting Alex with a couple of unprotected knee strikes to the midsection!" Okabe exclaimed as Asuka began punching Alex multiple times in the face before running the ropes, attempting to hit Alex with a Running Corner Knee Strike. However, the crowd cheered as Alex rolled out of the way, causing Asuka's knee to hit the top turnbuckle. The crowd continued cheering as when Asuka turned around while holding her knee, Alex took Asuka down with an Arm Drag. Asuka rolled back to her feet and attempted to hit Alex with a Clothesline, but the crowd cheered as Alex hit Asuka with a couple of Japanese Arm Drags before throwing her halfway across the ring with a Tilt-a-Whirl Arm Drag.

"Alex showing off that Lucha background that helps her fly around like an eagle!" Beth exclaimed as Alex grabbed Asuka by the arm, ran to the ropes, and springboarded off the middle rope before hitting her with an Arm Drag into a Hurricanrana. The crowd continued cheering as Alex hit Asuka with a couple of kicks to the chest before attempting to pick her up with a Suplex, but Asuka landed on her feet and attempted to push her into the ropes. However, the crowd cheered as Alex was able to hit an oncoming Asuka with a kick to the side of the head before knocking her down with a Jumping Twisting Forearm and going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…

"Alex's alliance with Misato has greatly increased her confidence. She wouldn't have been dominating like this just a few months ago," Okabe noted as Alex ran the ropes, and attempted to springboard from the top turnbuckle with a Springboard Moonsault, but Asuka was able to dodge. Alex landed on her feet, but Asuka stunned her with a Back Elbow to the side of the head before throwing her into the ropes. Asuka hit Alex in the gut with a Kitchen Sink, sending her falling into a seated position before running the ropes, and hitting a Sliding Knee Strike to the back. Asuka then slammed Alex's head down to the mat before running the ropes and attempting to hit Alex with a Jumping Knee Strike, but Alex was able to dodge.

"Oh! Maybe Asuka should invest in some kneepads!" Beth exclaimed while wincing as Alex began kicking Asuka in the right leg multiple times, sending her staggering into the ropes. Alex ran the ropes and knocked Asuka onto the ring apron with a Running Clothesline, the crowd continuing to cheer as Alex followed Asuka on the outside and attempted to put her in position for a Death Valley Driver. However, Asuka hit Alex in the side of the head with several Elbow Strikes before escaping her grasp, the crowd booing as Asuka hit Alex with a couple of hard forearms to the side of the head before putting her in position for a Snap Suplex.

"Asuka looks like she's going to try and Suplex Alex off of the apron!" Nigel exclaimed in worry. The crowd cheered as Alex tried to fight back with multiple punches to the chest and midsection, to which Asuka responded with multiple clubs to Alex's back. Asuka lifted Alex up, but the crowd cheered as Alex was able to escape Asuka's grasp, land behind Asuka, and hit her with a kick right to the side of the head. The crowd continued cheering as Alex threw both her and Asuka off with a Swinging Neckbreaker from the apron onto the floor, the crowd chanting for Alex as she held her own neck in pain.

Ref: …3…4…5

"Alex with a brutal Neckbreaker from the apron, but she may have hurt her own neck in the process!" Nigel exclaimed as Alex grabbed the top of the ring apron to help pull herself up. Alex grabbed Asuka by the hair and hit her with multiple forearms before jumping back up onto the apron and hitting a Springboard Middle Twisting Crossbody onto Asuka, the crowd continuing to cheer as Alex high-fived an excited Misato. Alex then picked Asuka up and hit her with several Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before attempting to throw her into the steel ring steps, but Asuka responded by jumping over the steel steps and landing on the other side. Alex responded by running up the steel steps, attempting to dive off the steps, but Asuka was able to catch Alex on the top of the steel steps and throw her onto the floor with an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex.

Ref: …6…7

"Alex taking one risk too many, allowing Asuka to take advantage. Alex may have cost herself that match!" Okabe exclaimed as Asuka rolled back into the ring, the crowd booing as she went back out, mounted Alex, and started punching her in the side of the face. Misato began approaching the two as Asuka began pulling and tearing on Alex's face and mouth, yelling at her that she wasn't beautiful and that she didn't deserve her looks. Misato yelled at Asuka to calm down, but Alexis responded by walking up to Misato and starting an argument with her. While the two were arguing, Asuka picked Alex up and threw her into the fan barricade back first multiple times.

Ref: 1…2…3

"Asuka breaking up the count just so she can continue torturing Alex on the outside!" Beth exclaimed as Asuka picked Alex up, and hit her with a Scoop Slam that sent her back crashing into the top of the fan barricade. Alex held her back in pain while Asuka grabbed her by the air, and threw her into the side of the steel steps with enough force to send the top portion of the steel steps crashing down onto the floor. The crowd continued booing as Alexis cheered Asuka on, who grabbed her by the hair, and slammed her face into the top of the bottom portion of the steel steps multiple times. Asuka then climbed up onto the top of the bottom portion of the steel steps and pushed Alex's face into the steel with the heel of her foot.

Ref: …4…5…6

"Asuka's aggression has been ramped up here, Alex's features being pushed into the steel of the ring steps!" Nigel exclaimed as Asuka looked at the booing crowd, and for the first time since the match started, had a sick smile on her face. Asuka then hit a Jumping Stomp onto the back of Alex's head, the crowd booing as she slid down the steps and onto the floor, holding the side of her head in pain. Asuka jumped down the steel steps, grabbed Alex by the hair, and threw her back into the ring.

"Alex getting her head crushed between Asuka's boot and the steel! Alex is back in the ring, but she's barely moving!" Beth exclaimed as Asuka stomped on Alex's head and chest multiple times before running the ropes and hitting a Jumping Knee Drop across Alex's forehead. The crowd continued booing as Asuka picked Alex up, hit her with a Backbreaker, and then hit her with an STO before running the ropes and hitting a Jumping Elbow Drop across Alex's throat. Alex coughed before heading to the ropes, but Asuka responded by hitting a Sliding Knee Strike to the side of the head before hitting her with a Sidewinder Back Suplex and going for a pinfall, hooking both of her legs back.

Ref: 1…2.

"Alex almost being folded like an accordion with that Swinging Back Suplex!" Nigel exclaimed as Asuka picked Alex up, and hit her with a Gourdbuster before running the ropes, and hitting her with a Jumping Stomp to the back of the head. The crowd continued booing as Asuka picked Alex up, and hit her with several forearms to the side of the head before running the ropes and hitting Alex with a Running Punch to the side of the head. Asuka then started hitting multiple forearms to Alex's back, sending her falling onto her knees, the crowd continuing to boo as Asuka playfully kicked Alex in the side of the head several times before running the ropes and hitting Alex with a Running Knee Strike to the side of the head.

"Asuka's exposed knee almost knocked Alex's jaw out of place!" Beth exclaimed while wincing as Asuka picked Alex up, and threw her into the corner. The crowd continued booing as Asuka ran back into the corner, hitting Alex with a Running Corner Back Elbow, another Back Elbow Strike to the side of the head, and running the ropes again to hit Alex with a Running Corner Dropkick to the side of the head. Asuka then grabbed Alex and threw her out of the corner with a Spinning Uranage, the crowd continuing to boo as Asuka jumped up onto the middle turnbuckle. Asuka re-adjusted her clear protective mask before hitting a Pinpoint Elbow Drop across the face and going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

"Asuka has continued dominating this match, not letting Alex get any other chance to fly around," Okabe explained as Asuka mounted Alex, and hit her with several punches to the side of the head before putting her in a seated position. The crowd continued booing as Asuka ran the ropes, and hit a Running Big Boot to Alex's face before hitting her with a Standing Moonsault. Asuka told the crowd that Alex was nothing, especially compared to her, before putting her in the Camel Clutch. The crowd continued booing as Asuka began fish-hooking Alex's mouth, asking the crowd who the ugly one really was.

"Asuka has Alex trapped in the ring and in the Camel Clutch, but she's not done mocking Alex!" Beth exclaimed as Asuka took her hands out of Alex's mouth and began pulling her back as Alex continued to yell out in pain. Misato began pounding on the ring apron to get the fans clapping in rhythm, the crowd also chanting for Alex as she began pulling Asuka's hands away from her neck. Asuka attempted to put her back in the Camel Clutch, but the crowd cheered louder as Alex pulled herself back onto her feet. Asuka attempted to put Alex in a Sleeper Hold, but Alex rammed into the corner several times, finally freeing herself from Asuka while putting her in the corner. Alex began trying to take a couple of deep breaths before running into the corner, attempting to hit her Asuka with a Running Corner Kick, but Asuka was able to dodge.

"Alex looked like she had the momentum back, but Asuka was able to daze Alex with a simple dodge!" Nigel exclaimed as Asuka picked Alex up, attempting to hit her with a Back Suplex, but the crowd cheered as Alex was able to bounce her legs off the top rope, hitting her with a Springboard Bulldog. The crowd continued cheering as Alex rolled into the corner, holding her back in pain while Asuka began staggering back to her feet, attempting to hit a Running Corner Clothesline, but Alex was able to hit a counter kick before stunning Asuka with an Enziguri. The crowd continued cheering as Alex jumped up to the middle rope, and hit a Diving Back Elbow to the side of Asuka's head.

"Alex coming back in with a beautiful Diving Back Elbow! It was hard enough that Asuka's mask got dented!" Okabe exclaimed as Alex kipped back up to her feet, and when Asuka made it back to her feet, Alex hit two Running Clotheslines, a Spinning Heel Kick, a couple of kicks to the sides, and a Spinning Kick to the gut hard enough to cause Asuka to bend over. The crowd continued cheering as Alex ran the ropes, and hit a Jumping Rolling Leg Drop across the back of Asuka's neck. Alex wasn't done yet, as Asuka ran the ropes, and hit her with a Sliding Knee Strike to the face before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"Alex's back is going to hurt like hell in the morning, but she's got a spike of adrenaline in her system that's making it impossible for her to feel pain!" Beth exclaimed as Alex climbed up to the top rope, preparing for the 450 Clothesline, but the crowd booed as Alexis jumped onto the apron, yelling at Alex. Misato responded by grabbing Alexis' leg and dropping her face first onto the steel ring apron. While Misato began punching Alexis around the ringside area, Asuka kicked the top rope, sending Alex crashing down onto her leg, putting her in the Tree of Woe position. The crowd continued booing as Asuka ran the ropes, and hit Alex with repeated Running Knee Strikes to the chest.

"And thanks to Alexis, Asuka is able to take advantage of this, and has control of this match back on her side!" Nigel exclaimed as Asuka pulled on Alex's hair, and kicked her in the back multiple times before putting her on the top turnbuckle in a Back Suplex position. Asuka then climbed up to the top turnbuckle and hit her with several punches to the side of the head before attempting to hit her with a Top Rope Back Suplex. However, the crowd exploded into cheers as Alex was able to backflip onto the canvas while Asuka was in the Tree of Woe position. Alex then immediately hit Asuka with a Basement Hesitation Dropkick before putting Asuka herself back onto the top turnbuckle.

"Alex's athleticism is insane! It's hard to believe that a human being can actually be this athletic!" Beth exclaimed as Alex jumped onto the middle rope, and threw Asuka off the top turnbuckle with a Top Rope Reverse Frankensteiner, much to the crowd's delight. The crowd continued cheering and chanting for Alex as she springboarded off the middle rope, hitting Asuka with a Springboard Twisting Splash onto her chest before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

Alex looked shocked that Asuka kicked out, and she responded by dragging her to the corner once again, but Asuka held onto Alex's legs, preventing her from climbing back up to the top rope.

"Asuka showing off her ring awareness, making sure that Alex doesn't get the chance to hit the 450 Clothesline!" Okabe exclaimed as Alex stomped on Asuka multiple times to get her off. But when she let go, Alex decided to pick her up and attempted to hit Asuka with a Spinning Leg Lariat, but Asuka ducked, and dropped Alex with a Spinebuster. Asuka then turned Alex on her stomach and began dropping several knees on the small of Alex's back before picking her back up and attempting to hit her with the Grotesque (Paige's Ram-Paige DDT). However, Alex responded by punching Asuka in the back, allowing her to escape the Grotesque (Paige's Ram-Paige DDT) and hit Asuka with a Bridging Northern Lights Suplex, pinning her.

Ref: 1…2…

"Asuka barely lifting her shoulder off the mat, but how long can Alex last with her back in the shape it's been the past several minutes," Okabe explained as Alex got back on her feet while holding her back in pain. Alex picked Asuka up, hit her with a Spinning Roundhouse Kick to the head, and then dropped her with a Brainbuster. The crowd continued cheering as Alex climbed up to the top rope, preparing for the 450 Clothesline. Meanwhile, outside of the ring, Misato had attempted to send Alexis into the ring post, but Alexis was able to reverse the Irish whip, sending Misato crashing into the steel ring post face first. The crowd further booed as Alexis knocked Misato down to the floor with a Big Boot to the side of the head. Alex, seeing this, turned around, and hit Alexis with a Diving Crossbody, the crowd cheering as Alex high-fived several fans.

"Alex just took Alexis out of the equation with that beautiful Crossbody! A double-edged sword of a move though, as while she took out Asuka's partner and prevented her from interfering further, but she also gave Asuka enough time to possibly recover!" Okabe exclaimed as Alex climbed back onto the apron, but was knocked into the fan barricade by Asuka hitting a Running Knee Strike to the side. The crowd continued booing as Asuka ran the ropes, and hit a Suicide Dive that sent Alex's back crashing into the fan barricade.

"I did not expect a hard dive like that from Asuka, but it almost sent her through the fan barricade!" Nigel exclaimed as Asuka grabbed Asuka by the hair, and threw her back into the ring before sliding in after her. Asuka then grabbed Alex by the hair, and finally hit her with the Grotesque (Paige's Ram-Paige DDT) before going for the pinfall.

*Bell Rings*

"Here is your winner, Asuka Langley Soryu!" Mary Hughes announced as Asuka pushed the referee away when she attempted to raise Asuka's hand. The crowd continued booing as Alexis slid into the ring from underneath the bottom of the rope, and raised Asuka's arm in the air, the crowd booing as Asuka went into the corner, jumping up to the top rope. Asuka looked down at the corner camera, the crowd continuing to boo while she began ranting at Erza, telling her that she was ungrateful for the opportunity that Asuka and the Beautiful People gave her. Asuka told Erza that the thanks she got for taking Erza into her faction was her beauty being destroyed.

"Asuka has won the match here, and has gone back to ranting and complaining about how Erza 'betrayed' her," Beth noted. While Asuka continued ranting at Erza, the crowd exploded into cheers as Erza Scarlet herself slid into the ring, and took Alexis out with a Sword's Edge Clothesline (Clothesline from Hell). Asuka noticed this and attempted to dive off the top rope and onto Erza, but the crowd continued cheering as Erza was able to pick Asuka up and throw her over the top rope with a Fallaway Slam. Alex and Misato smiled at the beating that was going on as Erza slid out of the ring from underneath the bottom rope, and mounted Asuka to club her in the back of the head.

"Erza has heard enough from Asuka, and is giving her a preview of their Street Fight at StarShow!" Nigel exclaimed as Erza grabbed Asuka by the hair, and smashed her face into the commentary table multiple times. However, the crowd booed as Alexis grabbed Erza's hair from behind, resulting in the two brawling with each other in front of the commentary table. However, just as Erza got the upper hand against Alexis, Asuka hit Erza in the back of the knee with a Chop Block, the crowd booing as Asuka and Alexis threw Erza into the side of the steel steps.

"Thanks to Alexis, Asuka is able to get the upper hand in this brawl! Can this be what we see at StarShow in only a few nights!?" Okabe asked as Asuka grabbed Erza up by the hair, but the crowd continued cheering as she began fighting back against both Asuka and Alexis, but the camera began panning to the back as multiple referees attempted to stop the brawl, which didn't appear to be working.

The camera then focused on the back, where Sam Simpson was standing in a dark room, hitting a heavy bag with multiple kicks.

"After being dropped on by the neck at Bash at the Beach, I thought I would never wrestle again. What I thought were going to be my last images as a wrestler were seeing the woman who betrayed me standing tall after breaking my neck," Sam said, heavily breathing as Sam continued hitting the heavy bag, her strikes noticeably getting harder, her teeth grinding as footage of the Bash at the Beach match between her and Clover. After the footage of her being dropped on her neck played, Sam kicked the heavy bag hard enough for the bag to swing around.

"When I came back at the Battle Riot, I had two goals in mind; win the BTWF World Women's Championship, and pay Clover back for all the pain and uncertainty she put me through for almost 7 months," Sam continued as she kicked the heavy bag multiple times before stopping her training, and walking towards the camera.

"When I win the BTWF World Women's Championship at StarShow, I'm going to show Clover what a real champion is all about, and if she wants to take the title from me, she's more than welcome to do so. I'm prepared for anything that coward has planned," San explained before smirking at the camera, looking back at her damaged heavy bag that was still swinging from the force of her strikes.

"Tonight, I'll team up with Rei to show my opponents what they can expect at StarShow. I've already stared into the abyss of the unknown that was the potential end of my career. I'm not going to stop until I get that championship around my waist, and Clover's ass in the ring so that I can give her what's coming. So, if Akira, Sherry, or even Rei want to get in my way, then they'll get a taste of what I give Clover," Sam said before pushing the camera and walking away, going back to practicing on her heavy bag before the camera panned to a commercial break.

*Commercial Break*

*Commercial Over*

The camera panned to the backstage area, where an irate Courtney Flores was standing next to Pieck Finger, with her steel Halliburton briefcase clutched firmly in her grasp.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with Courtney Flores, who has requested time to talk about the altercation between her and Nora Valkyrie last week," Pieck explained, which Courtney responded to by rolling her eyes before quickly putting a fake smile on her face before she returned her attention to the camera in front of her.

"That's right, Mrs. Finger. Last week, my character was attacked by Nora Valkyrie, and that amounts to slander. Therefore, I would like to announce that I will be formally suing Nora for slander and defamation," Courtney explained with a smile on her face. However, the smile was wiped clean off of Courtney's face when Nora walked up to her and Pieck, her neck still covered in athletic tape.

"Slander!? Are you kidding me!? I was telling everyone the truth about you, and you want to sue me!?" Nora asked incredulously

"Of course, I'm suing you. You're out here calling me someone who would take advantage of other's suffering for my own benefit. Do you know what that would do to my career as a lawyer!? My law license can be taken away! My clients would want nothing to do with me! You have no idea what your slander could do to me!" Courtney exclaimed, poking Nora in the chest, which Nora responded to by pushing Courtney's hand away, causing Pieck to back away slightly, not wanting to get in the middle of these two growing rivals.

"Counterpoint; you assaulted me in the backstage area while I'm still not medically cleared to compete. I could sue you if I wanted to, and take away all those things you were just talking about," Nora suggested, causing a lump to form in Courtney's throat as she grasped her Halliburton briefcase and held it close to her chest. "But I won't do that. Unlike you, I like to handle my business in the ring, and I don't need to drag it out with some stupid lawsuit," Nora continued, causing the lump in Courtney's throat to disappear as she snorted at Nora's proclamation.

"Oh, please! You just said that you're still not cleared by doctors to compete. If you and I stepped into the ring together, I'd beat you so bad that you'd think you were still signed to VCW," Courtney said with a smirk on her face. Nora nodded with a smirk on her face before stepping up to Courtney, which Courtney responded to by putting her briefcase down and smirking at her.

"I'm not cleared yet, but the second I am, you're going to get your ass kicked," Nora said before walking away, leaving Courtney completely befuddled as she walked the other way. The camera panned away from the backstage area, as Pieck looked worriedly in both directions and focused on the stage.

Once the camera focused on the stage, 'Devil's Night' by Motionless in White played, the crowd exploding into cheers as Death the Kid came out of the back on his skateboarding, riding onto the stage, and nodding at the cheering fans before continuing to ride down the entranceway on his skateboard.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Death City Nevada, Death the Kid!" Mary Hughes announced, the crowd cheering as Kid continued riding down the aisleway on his skateboard, high-fiving multiple fans in the front row as he continued riding down to the ring. Death continued riding his skateboard around the ringside area, continuing to high-five the fans around the fan barricade before finally stopping in front of the commentary table. Kid picked his skateboard up, and leaned it onto the side of the steel steps before sliding into the ring.

"Death the Kid has one last opportunity to win the BTWF World Tag Team Championships at StarShow! He's already had two chances at the belts and failed them both, and if he loses at StarShow, Death the Kid will be barred from competing for the BTWF World Tag Team Championships for the rest of his career on Octane!" Nigel exclaimed as Kid jumped up onto the top turnbuckle, and shot one of his fists up in the air, telling the crowd in the arena and the crowd watching on TV that he was becoming the tag champion at StarShow, no matter what the Chaos Conspiracy do to try and stop him.

"I would not talk trash about the Chaos Conspiracy, especially since Death the Kid is outnumbered 1-to-4," Okabe recommended as Kid jumped down to the canvas, but the crowd began booing as 'Sound of Madness' by Shinedown played. Charlie Bonifer came walking out with his half of the BTWF World Tag Team Championships in his mouth while Joe Wolf walked out with a smirk, a microphone in his hand, and his half of the BTWF World Tag Team Championships around his waist.

"And his opponent, accompanied to the ring by one-half of the BTWF World Tag Team Champions Joe Wolf and representing The Chaos Conspiracy, from Tom's River New Jersey, he is the other half of the BTWF World Tag Team Champions, Charlie Bonifer!" Mary Hughes announced, the crowd booing as Bonifer let out a battle cry after taking the BTWF World Tag Team title out of his mouth and slinging it over his shoulder. Kid sat on one of the top turnbuckles before Joe raised his hand up, the crowd booing louder as he began speaking anyway.

"When my hand goes up, you all shut the fuck up!" Joe exclaimed, the crowd booing and chanting "You Suck!" Bonifer growled at the crowd in response with Joe having to pull him back to prevent him from going after some of the fans. Joe and Bonifer continued walking down the entranceway while Kid made the 'blah, blah, blah' motion with his hand before telling Bonifer to just get into the ring already.

"Kid, me and Bonifer realized something last week; it really doesn't matter who you pick to team up with you at StarShow. The results are going to be the same as they were the last two times; me and Bonifer standing tall with the BTWF World Tag Team Championships in our hands!" Joe exclaimed as he and Bonifer raised the championships over their heads, the crowd booing louder while Kid told them that those titles were going to be his come StarShow.

"But it's clear that you need a reminder of those other two times you failed, so Bonifer here is going to be that painful reminder tonight, so you can prepare for your crushing defeat at StarShow," Joe explained before handing the microphone to Bonifer, who was licking his lips in anticipation of this upcoming match.

"The Chaos Conspiracy are keeping the BTWF World Tag Team titles, and if I have to break your fingers and punch your teeth down your throat to show that, then that's exactly what I'm going to do. And I'm going to enjoy every damn second of it," Bonifer said with a smirk before dropping the microphone, their theme song continuing to play as Bonifer slid into the ring from underneath the bottom rope and crawled over to the center of the ring, prompting Death the Kid to come meet him in the center of the ring. Kid responded immediately by jumping down from the top turnbuckle and walking right up to Bonifer's face before the referee got in between the two.

"Kid knows how important this match is here, as momentum heading into his StarShow tag title match can be the difference between walking out of Las Vegas as a Tag Team Champion, and him never being able to challenge for the tag belts again," Nigel explained as the referee made sure both men were ready before telling the timekeeper to ring the bell. Bonifer attempted to hit Kid with a punch, but Kid ducked and hit Bonifer in the side of the legs multiple times before Bonifer grabbed Kid by the throat, and threw him into the corner. Bonifer attempted to hit a Running Corner Clothesline onto Kid, but Kid was able to counter with a Pendulum Kick to the side of the head. Kid then springboarded back into the ring, and hit Bonifer down with a Springboard Missile Dropkick to the chest.

"Kid starting this match off hot, almost caving in Bonifer's chest with that Dropkick!" Beth exclaimed as Kid picked Bonifer up, and hit him with several kicks to the chest and the legs before running the ropes. However, Bonifer dodged the Jumping Clothesline that Kid attempted and attempted to hit a rebounding Kid with a Big Boot, but the crowd cheered as Kid slid out of the way, and springboarded off the middle rope, hitting Bonifer with a Springboard Crossbody. The crowd continued cheering as Kid picked Bonifer up and threw him into the corner before hitting him with several kicks to the chest before running the ropes and attempting to hit him with a Running Jumping Spin Kick, but Bonifer stunned Kid with a Forearm to the side of the head.

"Ouch! What a Forearm by Bonifer! Kid almost fell off the middle rope with the force of that Forearm!" Nigel exclaimed as Bonifer pushed Kid into the corner, and hit him with multiple Back Elbows to the side of the head before running the ropes and hitting Kid with a Jumping Corner Back Elbow. Bonifer continued attacking Kid into the corner with multiple forearms to the side of the head before attempting to throw him out of the corner with a Butterfly Suplex, but the crowd cheered as Kid was able to land on his feet. Kid attempted to hit Bonifer with a Reverse Frankensteiner, but Bonifer was able to keep himself on his feet and attempted to throw Kid back into the corner with a Reverse Electric Chair Drop. However, Kid was able to stop himself from hitting the top turnbuckle and threw Bonifer halfway across the ring with a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors.

"These two trading counters in the middle of the ring, Kid and Bonifer showing each other how much they've learned about each other's movements throughout their various matches together," Okabe explained as Kid knocked Bonifer down with a Spinning Heel Kick before running the ropes and hitting a seated Bonifer in the face with a Running Basement Dropkick to the face. The crowd continued cheering as Kid continued running the ropes and hit Bonifer in the chest with a Jumping Shooting Star Press to the chest before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2

Kid picked Bonifer up by the hair, and hit him with several punches to the side of the head, but Bonifer grabbed one of those punches and attempted to throw him out of the ring. However, Kid landed on the apron, and when Bonifer attempted to knock him off the apron, Kid countered with a kick to the side of the head.

"Kid has been dominating this match in the early goings, hitting Bonifer with a kick hard enough to send him to one knee!" Nigel exclaimed as Kid prepared to springboard out of the ring, but Bonifer responded by hitting a Running Big Boot to the face, sending Kid falling onto the floor. The crowd booed as Bonifer smirked at the crowd, telling them that Kid was nothing compared to him before he ran the ropes, and hit a now-standing Kid with a Suicide Dive that sent him crashing onto the floor. Bonifer and Joe high-fived each other on the outside before picking Kid up and attempting to throw him into the steel steps, but the crowd cheered as Kid jumped up onto the top of the steel steps. Bonifer angrily attempted to push him off, but Kid responded with a Back Kick to the side of the head, sending him staggering back.

Ref: 1…2…3

"Kid able to jump right on top of the steel steps, preventing his sides from crashing into the steel!" Okabe exclaimed as Kid dived off the top of the steel steps with a Diving Moonsault into a Reverse DDT onto Bonifer. Kid picked Bonifer up, and hit him with several European Uppercuts before jumping back up onto the apron, springboarding off the middle rope, attempting to hit Bonifer with a Springboard Corkscrew Crossbody. However, the crowd booed as Bonifer was able to catch Kid in mid-air and slam him down to the padded concrete with an Exploder Suplex. Joe applauded Bonifer as Bonifer mounted Kid, and began punching Kid in the side of the head before picking him up, and hitting him with several European Uppercuts of his own.

Ref: …4…5…6

"Bonifer may have taken control of this match thanks to the strength advantage that he possesses! And now, he's further weakening Kid with some hard European Uppercuts that would make William Regal and Fit Finlay proud!" Okabe exclaimed as Bonifer picked Kid up in a Powerslam position, and hit him with a Snake Eyes onto the top of the steel steps, sending Kid's head bouncing off the steel. The crowd continued booing as Bonifer threw Kid back into the ring, ran up the steel steps, climbed up to the top rope, and hit Kid with a Diving Elbow Drop to the chest before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

"Bonifer with an amazing Diving Elbow Drop! I never thought Bonifer would be the type that could fly like that!" Beth exclaimed in surprise as Bonifer picked Kid up, and hit him with multiple forearms to the side of the head before jumping back up to her feet, spitting at the booing crowd, and hitting Kid with a Standing Moonsault to the chest. Bonifer then picked Kid up and hit him with a Falcon Arrow before running the ropes and hitting him with a Sliding European Uppercut to the chin. The crowd continued booing as Bonifer dragged Kid to the ropes, and began choking him with the middle rope by pressing his knee to the back of Kid's neck. While the referee began scolding Bonifer, the crowd booed louder as Joe hit Kid with a punch to the side of the head, which Bonifer responded to by hitting Kid with a Savate Kick to the side of the head.

"And Joe with a cheap shot behind the referee's back! Of course, these guys can't play fair even when one of them is in control!" Beth exclaimed as Bonifer ran the ropes, and hit a Jumping Side Kick to the side of Kid's head before hitting him with a Belly-to-Back Suplex. Kid held the back of his head in pain, with Bonifer responding by hitting Kid with multiple Kawada Kicks to the face before deadlifting him up and hitting him with a German Suplex. However, Bonifer didn't let go and instead picked Kid back up, pushed him into the corner, and hit him with the Rolling Chaos Theory German Suplex before bridging into a pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

Bonifer looked surprised that Kid kicked out, but wasn't deterred as Bonifer ran the ropes, and hit Kid in the back with a Running Senton.

"Kid continuing to kick out is only going to make Bonifer more angry, and when Bonifer gets angry, people get hurt!" Nigel exclaimed as Bonifer picked Kid up, and punched him in the face a few times before picking him up and hitting him with a Front Suplex that sent Kid's gut crashing into the ropes. However, Bonifer put Kid in a Front Facelock, keeping Kid on the top rope, before hitting him with a Rope Hung Swinging Neckbreaker. The crowd continued booing as Bonifer began yelling at the crowd, telling them that Kid was a loser while Joe was the only one enjoying the taunting, applauding his tag team championship partner as he started stomping on Kid's chest.

"Bonifer with some hard stomps to the chest, making it difficult for Kid to breathe. And if Kid doesn't get enough oxygen in his system, then he's not going to have enough energy to fly around!" Okabe exclaimed as Bonifer threw Kid into the corner, sending his chest bouncing off the turnbuckles. The crowd continued booing as Bonifer ran the ropes, and hit Kid in the back of the head with a Running Corner Knee Strike before throwing him out of the corner with a Reverse Suplex. Bonifer wasn't done as he picked Kid back up, and dropped him on the canvas with a quick DDT before going for the pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.

Ref: 1…2…

"Kid kicking out again, though there wasn't as much energy as there was only a few minutes ago. That combination of moves by Bonifer clearly took a lot of energy out of Kid," Nigel noted as Bonifer immediately grabbed Kid, and locked him in a Seated Cobra Clutch, the crowd booing as Bonifer pulled Kid's head as far back as he could. Joe yelled at Kid from the outside to tap out and lose just like he would at StarShow, but Kid responded by shaking his head and attempting to pull himself out of Bonifer's grasp. However, Bonifer responded by kneeing Kid in the chest multiple times before tightening his grip on the Cobra Clutch while keeping Kid seated.

"Bonifer choking the life out of Kid in the center of the ring! Kid looks like he's fading!" Nigel exclaimed as the referee checked Kid's arm, but the crowd cheered as Kid was able to keep his arm up. Bonifer tried to tighten his grip even more, but the crowd cheered as Kid picked himself up and began hitting Bonifer with several Back Kicks to the gut before turning around and stunning Bonifer with a Jawbreaker. The crowd continued cheering as Kid ran the ropes, and attempted to hit Bonifer with another Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors, but Bonifer pushed Kid off of him, sending him onto the canvas. Bonifer ran the ropes and attempted to hit him with a Knee Trembler, but Kid was able to dodge and hit Bonifer in the side of the face with a Superkick.

"What a Superkick by Kid! I think I saw Bonifer's mouthguard land in the front row!" Beth exclaimed in shock as Kid jumped onto the middle rope, and attempted to hit a Springboard Hurricanrana onto Bonifer, but Bonifer was able to catch him in midair once again, hit him with a Powerbomb, and then picked him up to hit him with a Single Knee Powerbomb Backbreaker. The crowd continued booing as Bonifer ran the ropes, and hit Kid with a Lariat to the back of the head while he was on his knees before going for another pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

Bonifer began pounding the mat in frustration, but rather than waste time arguing with the referee, Bonifer hit a Jumping Leg Drop across the back of Kid's neck before climbing up to the top rope. The crowd booed as Bonifer gave the crowd a cut-throat sign, telling the fans that he was ending this match. However, as Bonifer finally got up to the top turnbuckle, the crowd cheered as Kid picked himself up off the canvas, and hit Bonifer with a Running Uppercut to the chin. The crowd continued cheering as Kid climbed up to the middle rope and began hitting Bonifer with multiple punches to the side of the head.

"Both Bonifer and Kid are standing on the turnbuckles in the corner, and it's only a matter of time before we see both of them take a spill!" Okabe exclaimed as Bonifer blocked one of Kid's punches, and started biting his ear, the crowd booing as Bonifer pushed Kid off the middle turnbuckle and began balancing himself on the top turnbuckle. However, the crowd exploded into cheers as Kid ran up to the middle rope, and jumped up to the top rope to throw Bonifer off the top turnbuckle with a Frankensteiner. Kid pulled himself back up using the turnbuckles in the corner as Bonifer held his back in pain while Joe was pleading with Bonifer from the outside to get back up.

"Kid showing off more of that fantastic athleticism with that amazing Springboard Frankensteiner off the top!" Nigel exclaimed as Bonifer staggered back to his feet while still holding his back, and attempted to hit Kid with a Running Corner Uppercut, but Kid lifted his knees up, sending Bonifer's back crashing into his knees. Kid then climbed up to the middle turnbuckle, and hit Bonifer in the back of the head with a Diving Missile Dropkick. The crowd continued cheering and chanting for Kid as he went onto the apron, and waited for Bonifer to get on all fours, and when he did, Kid springboarded back into the ring, hitting a Springboard Rolling Leg Drop across the back of the head before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"Kid almost getting the pin off that unique Leg Drop, but how much energy does he have left!?" Beth asked as Kid pulled himself back up to his feet, clapping to get the fans further into his cause. When Bonifer got back to his feet, Kid ran at Bonifer and hit him with two Running Forearm Strikes, a kick combination finishing off with a Jumping Knee Strike, and then walked the ropes and hit Bonifer with a Tornado DDT. The crowd continued cheering as Kid ran the ropes and hit a Running Penalty Kick to the chin before hitting him with a Standing Corkscrew Moonsault.

"Kid coming back into the match with his foot on the gas! It's only a matter of time before he pulls it off!" Nigel exclaimed as Kid picked Bonifer up, and attempted to hit him with a Fireman's Carry Kick, but Bonifer was able to block the kick and attempted to hit Kid with another German Suplex. However, Kid responded by hitting several Back Elbows to the side of Bonifer's head and used the middle rope to give him more momentum to hit Bonifer with a Stunner. While Bonifer was stunned, Kid grabbed him in a Waistlock and hit him with a German Suplex of his own before bridging into a pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"Kid showing off some strength with that German Suplex! I'm shocked that he could lift Bonifer with such ease!" Okabe exclaimed as Kid climbed up to the top rope, waiting for Bonifer to get back to his feet. When he did, Kid dived off the top rope, hitting Bonifer with a Diving Clothesline before picking him back up and hitting him with a Snap DDT. Kid then climbed back up to the top turnbuckle, attempting to hit Bonifer with a Coffin Drop, but the crowd booed as Bonifer kicked the top rope, causing Kid to crash and burn, falling from the top rope into a crumpled heap in front of the corner.

"Ouch! That was not a pretty fall!" Beth exclaimed while wincing as Bonifer began stomping on Kid's chest multiple times before picking him up and hitting him with a Butterfly Suplex. Kid got back up to his feet, but Bonifer immediately responded by picking Kid back up and hitting him with the Rolling Fireman's Carry Slam before jumping up to the top turnbuckle and hitting Kid in the chest with a Moonsault. Bonifer then picked Kid up and attempted to hit him with a Falcon Arrow, but Kid was able to throw Bonifer off of him with a Flying Snapmare. The crowd continued cheering as Kid sent Bonifer into the ropes with a Running Shotgun Dropkick to the chest. Kid then attempted to hit Bonifer with a Running Ropewalk Arm Drag, but the crowd booed as Bonifer was able to counter the move into a Cutter before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"What a counter by Bonifer, countering that Arm Drag into a Cutter! Bonifer almost sent Kid's face through the canvas, but Kid is still in this fight!" Beth exclaimed as Bonifer picked Kid back up, put him on the top rope, and attempted to hit him with a Rope Hung Cutter, but Kid was able to counter by clubbing Bonifer in the chest multiple times and hitting him with the Diamond Dust. The crowd continued cheering as Kid hit a stunned Bonifer with a Tornado DDT before climbing up to the top rope and attempting to hit him with the Coffin Drop again, but the crowd booed as Joe climbed up onto the apron, and grabbed Kid's leg, preventing him from diving.

"And while Bonifer is distracting the referee, Joe prevents the Coffin Drop onto his BTWF World Tag Team Championship partner!" Nigel exclaimed as Kid grabbed Joe by the ear, and hit him with multiple punches to the side of the head before pushing him off the ring apron. The crowd continued cheering as Kid turned around, dived off the top rope, and hit Joe with a Diving Twisting Crossbody. Kid then ran back to the ring apron, jumped up to the top rope, and attempted to hit the Coffin Drop again, but Bonifer was able to jump up to the top rope and throw Kid off of the top turnbuckle with a Dragon Suplex.

"Good Lord! What a Suplex by Bonifer, sending Kid almost all the way across the ring!" Nigel exclaimed as Bonifer roared before climbing up to the top rope, and hitting Kid with a Diving Moonsault. Bonifer then gave the jeering crowd the slit throat taunt before picking Kid back up, hitting him with the Stump Puller Piledriver, and going for the pinfall.

*Bell Rings*

"Here is your winner, representing the Chaos Conspiracy, he is one-half of the BTWF World Tag Team Champions, Charlie Bonifer!" Mary Hughes announced, the crowd booing as Bonifer shooed the referee away, and immediately began stomping on Kid's prone body. Bonifer then mounted Kid and hit him with multiple Grounded Forearms to the side of the head as Joe got back on his feet and slid into the ring from the bottom rope. Bonifer got off of Kid, picked him up, and threw him at Joe, allowing Joe to hit Kid with a Snap DDT.

"Bonifer won the match, but he and Joe aren't done with their challenger for StarShow yet!" Nigel exclaimed as Joe then locked Kid in the Crippler Crossface, Bonifer grabbing his half of the BTWF World Tag Team Championships, and rubbing it in Kid's face, telling him that he was never going to win these. Bonifer continued yelling at Kid, but the crowd exploded into cheers as Shoto Todoroki came running down the entranceway and, just as Bonifer turned to see what was going on, hit Bonifer with the Hot and Cold (Mushroom Stomp) before throwing him out of the ring.

"And thank God that Todoroki came out here to even the odds! Kid probably wouldn't have made it to StarShow if Bonifer and Joe kept attacking him!" Beth exclaimed as Joe let go of Kid, and attempted to hit Todoroki with a punch, but the crowd continued cheering as Todoroki blocked the punch and kicked Joe in the chest multiple times. Joe attempted to block one of Todoroki's kicks, but Todoroki countered with an Enziguri, sending Joe staggering to the ropes. Todoroki then knocked Joe out of the ring and next to Bonifer with a Running Big Boot to the side of the head.

"Todoroki sending both the BTWF World Tag Team Champions out of the ring before helping Kid up to his feet!" Nigel exclaimed as Todoroki told Kid to get onto the top rope and take both Bonifer and Joe out. Kid looked at Bonifer and Joe staggering back to their feet, smirked at Todoroki, and nodded before climbing up to the top rope. The crowd continued cheering as Kid dived out of the ring, hitting both Bonifer and Joe with a Coffin Drop before sliding back into the ring and high-fiving Todoroki.

"I think it's safe to say that Kid has found his partner for the BTWF World Tag Team Championship match at StarShow!" Okabe exclaimed as Kid and Todoroki raised each others' arms in the air as the camera panned to the backstage area while the newly-formed team continued to celebrate.

The camera then panned back to the backstage interview area, where Hana Uzaki was standing next to an irritated Clover Lamoreaux and a stoic-looking Jerry Lewis, who was fixing his tie while Clover was tapping her finger on her upper arm while her arms were crossed, waiting for the interview to start.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with Clover Lamoreaux and her agent, Jerry Lewis. Clover, you've requested time to talk about your appearance in the upcoming Feast or Famine match at StarShow?" Hana Uzaki asked. Clover sneered at her before moving the microphone closer to her mouth and turning her attention to the camera.

"Yeah, I have a LOT to say. I shouldn't even be in this Feast or Famine match! I should be wrestling for the BTWF World Women's Championship at StarShow! StarShow is the biggest event in FanFiction Wrestling, and we're giving a title match to Sam just because of her little sob story? Bon sang!" Clover exclaimed before taking a few deep breaths to calm herself down at Jerry's prompting.

"And this goes for Rei and Akira too. Just because they have issues with the Sisterhood means that they're just handed a chance to compete at StarShow? Neither one of those two have my star power, my looks, or my natural talent. As far as I'm concerned, Sherry's in for a cakewalk come StarShow, and when I win Feast or Fired, it's gonna be a cakewalk for me to take what's rightfully mine!" Clover exclaimed before looking up and seeing Sisterhood of Darkness member, Xochi Melendez looking down at her. Xochi scoffed at her, irritating Clover who once again had to be calmed down by Jerry.

"Please. Listen chica, if you were as good as you CONSTANTLY claim, you wouldn't be complaining right now and you'd actually be in the Women's World title match. Plus, you really have no idea what Sherry's capable of, so I suggest you watch yourself before you end up in the same hospital bed you put Sam in," Xochi warned. However, instead of looking furious, Clover simply smirked before responding.

"You're telling me to take initiative? That's rich coming from one of Sherry's bitches," Clover countered. Xochi's amusement was quickly replaced with anger at the comment, prompting Hana to escape the contentious situation. Before Xochi could do anything, Jerry got in between the two and whispered something into Clover's ear, convincing her to back off.

"Mrs. Melendez, I understand that you're riled up given the tension between you and Sherry. However, you should be careful of starting a fight right before your match," Jerry explained. Xochi looked at both a smug Clover and an apprehensive Jerry before sighing.

"You're lucky I have better things to do than deal with this puta, old man. Oh, and Clover, I'll remember this little conversation during the Feast or Famine match, so just remember that when I'm whooping your ass all over the ring," Xochi warned before walking to Gorilla position to meet the rest of her Sisterhood of Darkness cohorts, leaving Clover and Jerry to walk away while discussing what just happened before the camera panned back to the stage.

The camera focused on the stage, where the lights in the arena went down, the crowd booing as the lights in the arena turned blood red. 'Knives' by Bullet For My Valentine played, the crowd continuing to boo as a row of fire appeared on the stage. Xochi came walking out with BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions Ultear Milkovich & Tomoko Kuroki accompanying her to the ring. The crowd gave a mixed reaction as Xochi stomped on the ground in front of the fire, causing a small opening to open up in the row of flames, allowing Xochi to begin her walk to the ring.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Making her way to the ring, representing the Sisterhood of Darkness and accompanied to the ring by the BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions Ultear Milkovich and Tomoko Kuroki, from Monte Macabre Mexico, Xochi Melendez!" Mary Hughes announced. Xochi ignored Ultear and Tomoko, who were talking to her about how she needed to hurt Zoey tonight so that they wouldn't stand any chance of taking the BTWF Women's Tag Team Championships from the Sisterhood.

"Xochi has been having issues with the Sisterhood for quite a while now, but she is still facing one of the Sisterhood's current rivals, Zoey Hanson," Okabe explained as the crowd continued booing, though giving Xochi some cheers. Ultear made sure that Xochi had heard them, and she responded with a nod while continuing to walk to the ring. Xochi cracked her knuckles while mumbling something in Spanish before making it to the ringside area, and stomping on the padded concrete, causing the lights in the arena to flicker between red and black before she walked towards the steel steps.

"Xochi is going to be in the Feast or Fired match alongside Flare Corona, with Sherry hoping to get the Sisterhood of Darkness an insurance policy in case they lose any of their titles at StarShow," Nigel explained as the crowd continued booing as Xochi ran up the steel steps, jumped up to the top turnbuckle, and cartwheeled off the top turnbuckle and onto the canvas. The crowd continued giving a mixed reaction as Xochi spun to the center of the ring and raised her first in the air, causing some flames to shoot out of the corner posts.

"The crowd is starting to get into Xochi, and who can blame them given how great she is in the ring? The question is if she'll listen to the fans and free herself from the Sisterhood," Beth noted as Ultear and Tomoko continued telling Xochi to make sure that she destroys Zoey in the ring tonight, which Xochi responded to with an annoyed nod. The camera then panned back to the stage, where 'Time to Shine' by Saliva played, the crowd cheering as Zoey came out of the back with Ochako and Zia accompanying her. Zoey spun around before raising her pointer finger into the air on the center of the stage, the crowd cheering while Ochako and Zia applauded her.

"And her opponent, accompanied to the ring by 'The Woman that Gravity Forgot' Zia Simpson and 'The Genius of the Sky' Ochako Uraraka and representing Zero Gravity, from San Jose California by way of Tokyo Japan, Zoey Hanson!" Mary Hughes announced as Zoey fist-bumped several fans in the front row while Ochako and Zia continued shouting out words of encouragement and support before she ran to the ring, sliding into the ring from underneath the bottom rope. The crowd continued cheering as Zoey kipped back up to her feet, and jumped up to the top rope, raising her pointer finger in the air.

"Zoey's confidence has increased to unfathomable levels since joining up with Zia and Ochako. She's hoping that this confidence can lead her to the BTWF Women's Tag Team Championships at StarShow, but with how powerful the Sisterhood has been these past few months, I'd be more skeptical if I were Zoey," Okabe admitted as Zoey jumped down to the canvas and walked over to Xochi, who leaned in her own corner, not looking really interested in her opponent. The referee made sure both women were ready before telling the timekeeper to ring the bell, which Zoey responded to by immediately locking up with Xochi, attempting to push her into the corner.

"Zoey starting this match off fiery, attempting to overpower Xochi. And I'm just going to be honest, she probably should've picked a new strategy," Okabe admitted as Xochi pushed her away, the crowd giving a mixed reaction as Xochi flexed one of her arms, and telling Zoey to try again. Zoey nodded and attempted to lock up with Xochi again, but this time, Xochi pushed her into the corner and condescendingly patted her on the head. Zoey responded by pushing her away and hitting her with several forearms to the side of the head before attempting to throw her into the corner again. However, Xochi responded by pushing Zoey back into the corner and punching her in the sides of the head multiple times.

"Xochi showing off her power in the early goings, not letting Zoey get any bit of offense in!" Nigel exclaimed as Xochi ran the ropes and attempted to hit Zoey with a Jumping Stinger Splash, but the crowd cheered as Zoey responded with a kick to the side of the head. Zoey hit several more kicks to the sides of Xochi's legs and chest before jumping onto the middle rope and hitting Xochi with a Diving Middle Rope Hurricanrana. Xochi looked irate at being caught out like that and attempted to hit Zoey with a Big Boot once she got back to her feet, but Zoey swept Xochi's leg out and hit her with a Jumping Double Foot Stomp to the chest. The crowd continued cheering as Zoey ran the ropes, and hit a seated Xochi with a Single Leg Basement Dropkick to the face before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…

"Zoey is finally able to use her speed advantage to take Xochi off of her feet, and Xochi doesn't look happy about it!" Nigel exclaimed as Zoey grabbed Xochi's arm and attempted to lock her in the Cat Nap (Crossface Chickenwing), but Xochi was able to throw Zoey off of her. The crowd gave a mixed reaction as she grabbed Zoey by the hair and began clubbing her in the back before putting her in a Fireman's Carry. However, the crowd cheered as Zoey hit Xochi in the side of the head with several elbows before sliding out of her grasp and attempting to lock her in the Cat Nap (Crossface Chickenwing) again. Xochi was able to counter again by ramming Zoey into the corner, sending her back bouncing off the turnbuckles, and freeing herself from the submission attempt.

"Xochi almost sent Zoey crashing through the corner! Oh, man!" Beth exclaimed as Xochi kneed Zoey in the gut several times before throwing her out of the corner, but the crowd cheered as Zoey rolled onto all fours, waiting for Xochi to turn around. Xochi did, and Zoey responded by running at her and hitting a Running Single Leg Dropkick into the corner. The crowd continued cheering as Zoey ran the ropes, but Xochi ran out of the corner and attempted to hit her with an explosive Clothesline out of the corner, but Zoey floated over Xochi's Clothesline attempt and attempted to put her in position for a Sit-Out Powerbomb, but Xochi responded by attempting to throw her overhead with a Back Body Drop. The crowd cheered as Zoey landed on her feet, and attempted to jump onto the middle rope for a Diving Crossbody, to which Xochi responded by catching her in mid-air.

"Wow! Xochi and Zoey exchanging reversals in the ring and the crowd are loving it! Some people who aren't loving it though are the Sisterhood, who were expecting Xochi to maul Zoey like a bear who's found a fresh fish in the water!" Beth exclaimed as Xochi attempted to throw Zoey overhead with a Fallaway Slam, but Zoey once again landed on her feet, and when Xochi attempted to run at Zoey again, she sent Xochi falling onto one knee with a Running Dropkick to the right knee. Zoey nodded along with the cheering crowd before hitting Xochi with several kicks to the chest. Zoey attempted to hit a Spinning Kick to Xochi's head, but Xochi responded by ducking and pushing her away, to which Zoey responded with a Running Facebuster before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2

"Xochi has to be frustrated here, as Zoey has been taking it to her in what I know Xochi thought was going to be a cakewalk!" Nigel exclaimed as Zoey ran the ropes, and knocked Xochi into the ropes with another Running Dropkick before running the ropes again, and sending her over the apron with a Running Spinning Leg Lariat. Zoey clapped along with the cheering fans before jumping up onto the middle rope and knocking Xochi off of the ring apron with a Springboard Triangle Dropkick to the chest. Ultear and Tomoko began yelling at Xochi to get up and actually start hurting Zoey, and Zoey responded by mounting Xochi and hitting her with multiple punches to the side of the head.

"Xochi has to have her issues with the Sisterhood in the head, as she hasn't been as focused as we've seen her in previous matches," Okabe explained as Zoey grabbed Xochi by the hair, and slammed her face into the fan barricade several times. The crowd continued cheering as Zoey hit several kicks to Xochi's chest while she was leaning against the fan barricade before attempting to Irish whip Xochi into the steel steps. However, Xochi countered the Irish whip attempting to send Zoey into the steel steps, but Zoey was able to jump up to the top of the steel steps and attempted to hit Xochi with a Moonsault off of the steps and onto a standing Xochi, but she was able to catch Zoey in mid-air.

Ref: 1…2…3

"Another feat of strength by Xochi, but Zoey isn't going down quietly!" Beth exclaimed as Zoey attempted to slip out of Xochi's grasp, but Xochi was able to keep her grip tight, throwing Zoey into the steel ring post with a Lawn Dart. The crowd gave a mixed reaction as Zoey held the side of her head, trying to stop the bleeding that had just started. The crowd continued giving a mixed reaction as Xochi began choking Zoey with her foot, pushing the back of her head into the side of the steel steps. Xochi then picked Zoey back up, and threw her into the fan barricade with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex, sending her in a crumpled heap in front of the fan barricade.

Ref: …4…5…6

"Xochi just casually tossed Zoey into the fan barricade like she was nothing!" Nigel exclaimed as Xochi grabbed a bloodied Zoey by the hair, and threw her back into the ring before jumping onto the apron and springboarding back into the ring to hit Zoey with a Springboard Tope Con Hilo to the chest. Xochi picked Zoey back up and hit her with several elbows to the back of the head before throwing her into the corner. Xochi then ran into the corner and hit Zoey in the face with the Handspring Back Elbow before hitting several Back Elbows to the side of Zoey's head. The crowd continued giving a mixed reaction as Xochi ran the ropes and hit Zoey with a Running Corner Knee Strike to the side of the head, sending Zoey falling in front of the bottom turnbuckle.

"Xochi almost sent Zoey's teeth flying out of her mouth with that Knee Strike!" Beth exclaimed as Xochi ran the ropes and hit Zoey with a Running Face Wash before grabbing both of her legs. The crowd continued giving a mixed reaction as Xochi threw Zoey up, and hit her with a Spinning Sit-Out Powerbomb, bridging into a pinfall.

Ref: 1…2

Xochi smirked over at Ultear and Tomoko, who looked satisfied at the beatdown Zoey was receiving, and she continued the beatdown by picking her up and kneeing her in the side of the head several times. Xochi then picked Zoey up and threw her halfway across the ring with a Fallaway Slam, the crowd giving a mixed reaction as Xochi dusted herself off before kipping back up to her feet. Xochi ran the ropes and hit a Jumping Leg Drop across Zoey's throat, and then put her in a seated position before hitting her with a Basement Dropkick to the back of the head.

"See how Zoey's constantly trying to wipe the blood off her face and away from her eyes, meaning that her vision is compromised and it's harder for her to fight back against Xochi," Okabe explained as Xochi ran the ropes again, and hit a Jumping Elbow Drop across Zoey's chest before kipping back up to her feet, and jumping up onto the middle rope to hit a Springboard Twisting Crossbody onto Zoey's chest. Xochi gave the cheering and booing crowd a cartwheel before picking Zoey up and picking her up for a Vertical Suplex. Xochi began doing squat thrusts while keeping Zoey up in the Vertical Suplex position before slamming her down with a Jackhammer and going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

"Xochi almost sent Zoey crashing through the ring with that Jackhammer, but Zoey's not going to give up this fight!" Beth exclaimed as Xochi stomped on the side of Zoey's head before deadlifting Zoey back up and attempting to hit her with a German Suplex. The crowd cheered as Zoey attempted to fight out of the German Suplex by hitting her with several Back Elbows to the side of the head, but Xochi threw Zoey into the corner with a German Suplex.

"Oh! Zoey's neck bounced back after being thrown into that turnbuckle! And Zoey was sent into the corner with enough force that her neck could be broken!" Nigel exclaimed while wincing as Xochi hit Zoey with a Running Big Boot in the corner before throwing her out of the corner with a Gargoyle Suplex. The crowd continued giving a mixed reaction as Xochi stomped on a downed Zoey several times, making sure to kick her a few times in the side of the head. Zoey continued trying to wipe the blood from her eyes as Xochi hit a Jumping Leg Drop across the back of Zoey's neck before locking her in a Sleeper Hold. The crowd cheered and chanted for Zoey as she attempted to make it to the ropes to escape the hold.

"Xochi has Zoey locked in a Sleeper Hold, and you can see how Zoey's bleeding more thanks to the pressure Xochi's applying to that Sleeper Hold!" Okabe exclaimed as Xochi threw Zoey back down to the mat before continuing to keep her in the Sleeper Hold. Zoey looked to be losing consciousness as Xochi yelled at the audience in Spanish with Ultear and Tomoko smirking at all the damage done to Zoey. However, the crowd began cheering again as Zoey began pulling herself back to her feet, and when Xochi attempted to throw her back onto the ground, the crowd cheered louder as Zoey hit her in the gut with multiple punches to the chest. Xochi attempted to grab Zoey by the hair, but the crowd cheered as Zoey hit Xochi with a Pele Kick, stunning her before sending Xochi into the corner with multiple punches to the side of the head.

"Zoey finally trying to fight back here, but the amount of blood she's lost may contribute to a short-lived comeback!" Nigel exclaimed as Zoey ran the ropes, and attempted to hit her with another Running Corner Dropkick, but the crowd gave a mixed reaction as Xochi was able to catch her and drop her onto the top turnbuckle with a Flapjack. Zoey staggered out of the corner, and Xochi responded by jumping over Zoey and jumping up onto the top turnbuckle before hitting Zoey with a Diving Back Elbow to the back of the head and going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

"Holy God! I did not expect Xochi to do that!" Beth exclaimed in shock as Xochi looked irritated that Zoey had kicked out. The crowd continued booing as Xochi grabbed Zoey in a Dragon Sleeper, and hit her with multiple elbow strikes to the chest and the head before hitting her with a Reverse Suplex. Xochi then climbed up to the top rope, and when she made it to the top, she shimmied her shoulders, doing the Latino Heat dance, before diving off the top rope with a Frog Splash, but the crowd cheered as Xochi missed the Frog Splash due to Zoey moving out of the way.

"Out of instinct, Zoey avoids the Frog Splash! Can this finally be the chance that the bloodied new member of Zero Gravity needs to get back into this match!?" Nigel asked as Zoey pulled herself back onto her feet while Xochi was doing the same. Xochi attempted to knock Zoey down with a Savate Kick, but the crowd cheered as Zoey ducked the kick, and hit Xochi with a Roundhouse Kick of her own, sending Xochi staggering down to one knee. Zoey slapped herself in the side of the head to psyche herself up, and when Xochi pulled herself back up to her feet, Zoey ran the ropes, and hit Xochi with two Clotheslines and a Jumping Calf Kick to the side of the head, though Xochi didn't go back down.

"Zoey trying to build momentum back, but Xochi is trying, and so far succeeding, at keeping her feet firmly planted on the ground!" Okabe exclaimed as Zoey attempted to Irish whip Xochi into the corner, but Xochi countered to send Zoey into the corner. However, the crowd cheered as Zoey ran up to the top turnbuckle, backflipped back to the canvas just as Xochi crashed into the corner chest first, and ran the ropes before finally knocking Xochi down with a Jumping Clothesline to the chest. The crowd continued cheering as Zoey ran the ropes, and hit a Jumping Knee Drop across Xochi's head before climbing up to the top rope.

"Xochi's been knocked down! And Zoey plans on taking full advantage of this match!" Beth exclaimed as Zoey balanced herself on the top turnbuckle, and when Xochi got back up to her feet, Zoey hit her with a Diving Missile Dropkick to the chest. The crowd continued cheering as Zoey hit multiple kicks to Xochi's chest before attempting to hit her with a kick to the side of the head. Xochi, however, was able to duck and attempted to push Zoey away, but the crowd continued cheering as Zoey ran back at Xochi, hitting her with a Tilt-a-Whirl DDT, and hitting her with a Spinning Kick to the side of the head before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"Zoey almost kicked Xochi's head off, but she was still able to kick out at 2!" Nigel exclaimed as Zoey grabbed both of Xochi's arms and stomped on her chest and face unprotected before going back up to the top rope. Ultear and Tomoko began yelling at Xochi to get back up to her feet while Zia and Ochako were cheering Zoey on from the outside. Xochi, however, was able to walk up to the corner and began headbutting Zoey to the side of the head, stunning her and allowing her to climb up to the top rope, attempting to hit her with an Avalanche Belly-to-Belly Suplex, but the crowd cheered as Zoey was able to hit Xochi with a barrage of headbutts of her own.

"Zoey not letting Xochi get back in control, but look at the blood that's spattering around from the force of those headbutts!" Okabe exclaimed as Zoey jumped behind a stunned Xochi, and threw her off the top rope with a Half-Nelson Suplex. The crowd continued cheering as Zoey climbed back up to the top rope, pointed her finger to the sky, and then hit Xochi in the chest with a Diving Headbutt before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

Zoey looked shocked that Xochi had rolled her shoulder out but immediately responded by attempting to lock her in the Cat Nap (Crossface Chickenwing), but Xochi rolled over to the ropes, forcing Zoey to let go.

"Xochi has the ring awareness of her idols, but that could only take her so far if Zoey continues to maintain momentum like this," Okabe explained as Zoey grabbed Xochi, and attempted to lift her up for a German Suplex, but Xochi hit several Back Elbows to the side of the head before picking her up, and throwing her onto the top rope with a Front Suplex. The crowd continued giving a mixed reaction as Xochi grabbed Zoey by the hair, and hit her with several punches to the side of the head before climbing up to the top turnbuckle. However, Zoey stood herself onto the ring apron, ran over to the corner, and kicked Xochi in the back several times. The crowd continued cheering as Zoey climbed up to the top turnbuckle and threw Xochi to the canvas with a Top Rope Frankensteiner.

"Zoey not letting up in this contest, showing the Women's Tag Team Champions what they're in for at StarShow!" Nigel exclaimed as Zoey immediately climbed back up to the top rope, and hit Xochi with a Diving Headbutt to the chest before going for the pinfall.

Zoey once again looked shocked as Xochi rolled her shoulder off the mat, and responded by kicking Xochi in the back of the head before picking her up, and attempting to hit her with a Tiger Suplex. However, the crowd gave a mixed reaction as Xochi threw Zoey overhead before going into the corner, waiting for Zoey to get back to her feet, and when she did get back to her feet, hit her with a Cyclone Big Boot.

"Xochi almost took Zoey's jaw off with that Big Boot! And that little spin she put on the boot certainly helped!" Okabe exclaimed as Xochi picked Zoey up, and attempted to hit her with the Jackknife Powerbomb, but Zoey was able to punch her way out of her grip. Zoey then ran into the corner and attempted to hit her with the Cat Attack (Eddie Edward's Boston Knee Party). However, Xochi was able to throw her into the air and send Zoey crashing into the top turnbuckle before picking her up and throwing her halfway across the ring with an Alley Oop Bomb. The crowd continued giving a mixed reaction as Xochi climbed back up to the top rope, and hit Zoey with a Frog Splash before going for the pinfall, hooking both of her legs back.

"Zoey kicked out, barely, but she still kicked out of the pin!" Beth exclaimed as Xochi, looking frustrated, picked Zoey up, and threw her into the corner. The crowd continued giving a mixed reaction as Xochi ran into the corner, hitting Zoey with a Jumping Stinger Splash. Xochi then attempted to throw Zoey out of the corner with another Exploder Suplex, but Zoey responded by hitting her with several forearms to the side of the head. Xochi then pushed Zoey away and attempted to hit her with a High Head Kick, but Zoey ducked and hit her with a German Suplex that sent her crashing into the corner. The crowd continued cheering as Zoey ran the ropes and hit several Running Corner Dropkicks to the face, and when Xochi staggered out of the corner, Zoey ran the ropes in an attempt to hit her with the Cat Attack (Eddie Edwards' Boston Knee Party). However, Xochi was able to catch Zoey mid-move and send her crashing into the ground with a Jackknife Powerbomb.

"Xochi hit the Jackknife! This could be it!" Beth exclaimed as Xochi attempted to go for the pin, but Ultear and Tomoko yelled at Xochi not to pin her yet, and to continue beating Zoey down. Xochi stomped over to Ultear and Tomoko and began arguing with them, saying that they could just beat her up after the match. Ultear and Tomoko countered by saying that Sherry had told her that it was her job to injure Zoey and Ochako. Xochi ran her hands through her hair in frustration before letting out an annoyed yell before picking Zoey back up and attempting to hit her with another Jackknife Powerbomb, but the crowd cheered as Zoey countered with a Facebuster.

"Xochi taking too much time arguing with her Sisterhood of Darkness comrades! Zoey just sent Xochi's face crashing into the canvas!" Nigel exclaimed as Ultear and Tomoko attempted to come into the ring, but the crowd cheered as Zia and Ochako began brawling with the Sisterhood on the outside. In the ring, Zoey went into the corner and waited for Xochi to get back to her feet, and when she did, Zoey hit her with a Cat Attack (Eddie Edwards' Boston Knee Party) before going for the pin.

*Bell Rings*

"Here is your winner, representing Zero Gravity, Zoey Hanson!" Mary Hughes announced as the referee raised Zoey's arm in victory. However, the celebration was cut short as Zoey noticed that Himiko Toga and Tina Belcher came running down the entranceway and aiding Ultear and Tomoko in their brawl with Zia and Ochako. Ultear picked Ochako up and threw her into the steel steps before Tomoko began biting Zia's ear, allowing Tina to throw her into the fan barricade back first. However, the crowd cheered as Zoey ran the ropes, and knocked both Tina and Tomoko down with a Suicide Dive. Zoey then began brawling with Ultear while Zia was able to regain her advantage against Toga.

"The Sisterhood are trying to be the last women standing in this war, but Zero Gravity aren't going down without a fight!" Nigel exclaimed as Xochi rolled out of the ring while holding her head in pain. While Toga was brawling with Zia, she yelled at Xochi to help them against Zero Gravity. Zoey, meanwhile, traded kicks and punches with Ultear, but Ultear got the advantage once Tomoko clubbed Zoey in the back. However, the crowd cheered as Ochako dived off of the steel steps, knocking Ultear down with a Diving Missile Dropkick to the side of the face before mounting her and hitting punches to the side of the head.

"Xochi's still trying to shake those cobwebs out of her head, but Toga's still demanding she help like she's the boss!" Beth exclaimed as Xochi turned around and glared at Toga, who once again yelled at Xochi to help after raking Zia's eyes. Xochi flipped Toga off, the crowd cheering as she yelled at Toga in Spanish before stomping away from the ringside area, still holding her head and cursing to herself about the match. Toga looked at Xochi's disappearing frame with a combination of shock and anger but didn't have the time to verbalize it as Zia tackled her from behind, and began smashing the back of her head against the padded concrete floor.

"Xochi isn't going to help the Sisterhood, but I don't know who I feel worse for; the Sisterhood, Zero Gravity, or Xochi after Sherry gets word of this!" Okabe exclaimed as security came out to separate the seven brawling women. Ochako and Zoey were able to grab the BTWF Women's Tag Titles, the crowd exploding into cheers as they raised the championships over their heads, causing Ultear and Tomoko to explode, and jump over at Ochako and Zoey, continuing the brawl. Security once again began trying to pull the women apart as the camera panned to the backstage area, where the #1 contender for the BTWF United States Champion Laxus Dreyar, and his wife, Mirajane Strauss, were standing next to Jack Korpela in the backstage interview area.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with Laxus Dreyar and his wife, Mirajane Strauss. Tonight, we saw your opponent for StarShow, the BTWF United States Champion Shinji Ikari, in a state we haven't seen him in since the beginning of his career in Japan. He looked almost…defeated. What are your thoughts on this?" Jack Korpela asked. Laxus and Mirajane looked at each other for a second before their faces turned remorseful and sympathetic.

"Well, if there is one thing I can say, it's that I'm not surprised," Laxus admitted in a low tone, with Mirajane patting his arm. Korpela raised an eyebrow in surprise and confusion before continuing the interview.

"And why aren't you surprised at Shinji's recent change of attitude?" Korpela asked, curious at this reaction from the #1 contender and his wife.

"Well…it's because…if I got my ass kicked as many times as Shinji did by someone like me, I'd question my career choice too," Laxus responded, both he and Mirajane laughing as Korpela looked stunned at the callous reactions. Jack waited for Laxus and Mirajane to stop laughing as he looked annoyed at the two. After a moment, the laughter subsided, and when Laxus and Mirajane calmed down, Laxus continued the interview, patting an irritated Korpela on the shoulder.

"Look, the second I came into this company, I made an impact. In the past couple of months, I pinned Shinji in the Battle Riot, wasted his two loser friends, and even put him in an existential crisis. Not many people have a two-month stretch like that," Laxus said with a chuckle before turning to the camera and smirking into the lens.

"And Shinji, you're right to question yourself. You, in your heart-of-hearts, know you can't beat me. I'm nothing like those other scrubs you faced before. You call yourself 'Undisputed', but I'm going to send that last crumbling pillar of your undisputed kingdom come crashing down, and I'll be standing over the rubble with the BTWF United States Championship," Laxus explained before Mirajane leaned in closer, resting her head on Laxus' arm.

"Laxus already broke you spiritually and mentally. At Starshow, Laxus is going to finish the job by breaking you physically," Mirajane concluded before turning to Laxus and sharing a passionate kiss with him. Laxus then picked Mirajane up bridal style and walked away from the interview area, leaving Korpela confused as the camera panned to a commercial break.

*Commercial Break*

*Commercial Over*

The camera panned back to the hallway of the backstage area, where Xochi Melendez was stomping over to the garage, but Flare Corona, a fellow member of the Sisterhood of Darkness, ran up to her and tried to turn her around. Xochi attempted to push her away, but Flare was persistent, continuing to try and turn her around. Finally, Xochi turned around, trying to maintain her composure long enough to not punch Flare in the face, and hear her out.

"Xochi, what're you doing? Sherry's going to be really upset when she finds out about all this," Flare explained, looking worried while also darting her eyes around the hallway. Xochi took several deep breaths before calming down, realizing that Flare was being genuinely concerned about her.

"Look, I wouldn't have had any issue if Ultear and Tomoko didn't cost me the match. I had that match won, but they had to stick their noses in it! I thought we were all supposed to be helping each other!" Xochi exclaimed as Flare backed away slightly, not wanting to fight her Sisterhood of Darkness friend. Xochi once again took several deep breaths to calm down, which made Flare feel comfortable enough to continue talking.

"Ultear and Tomoko were just trying to make sure that Sherry was happy with you. Sherry's helped all of us find a purpose in our lives and find allies that we needed. Without the Sisterhood, I don't know what I'd do with myself, and I just want to make sure that everyone's happy in the Sisterhood," Flare confessed, the corners of her eyes brimming with tears. Xochi looked sympathetic at her friend and sighed before patting Flare on the shoulder and hugging her close.

"Flare, I know what you're trying to do, but I can take care of myself. If Sherry gets mad at me, I can handle it. You don't need to try and be the peacekeeper for everyone in the Sisterhood. I appreciate your help, but when it comes to StarShow and when it comes to my issues with Sherry and the others, you should keep yourself out of it," Xochi said before giving Flare one last supportive pat on the shoulder and leaving. Flare looked at Xochi's disappearing frame in amazement at first, but that amazement slowly turned into a glare as she continued thinking about it.

Flare walked off as the camera panned back to the stage, where 'It's a New Day' by Adelitas Way played, the crowd booing as Sting and Rogue came walking out with Dutch applauding them.

"The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Dutch Van Der Linde, the team of Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney, the Legacy!" Mary Hughes announced as Sting and Rogue fist-bumped each other while Dutch walked in between them, and started going over battle plans in their ears. When he was done, Dutch patted both Sting and Rogue on the back, prompting them to walk down the entranceway. Rogue and Sting trash-talked the booing fans while Dutch told the cameras that his boys were going to become the new BTWF World Tag Team Champions.

"The Legacy and their opponents tonight, 2Cool, are going to be 2 of the 4 teams in the Fatal-4-Way #1 contenders match at StarShow. And both of these teams will be jockeying for momentum heading into the biggest show in Fanfiction Wrestling!" Nigel exclaimed as Sting and Rogue made it to the ringside area, and fist-bumped each other while Dutch ducked underneath both his charges' arms. Dutch then told the booing fans to have some respect for the future BTWF World Tag Team Champions, causing the crowd to boo even louder as Sting and Rogue slid into the ring from underneath the bottom rope.

"The Legacy have been saying these past several weeks that those BTWF World Tag Team Championships are going to come home to them, but they have to get through three other teams at StarShow first!" Okabe exclaimed as Rogue jumped up to the top turnbuckle, and raised his fist in the air while Sting ran over to the ropes, leaned over the top ropes, and smirked at the audience. Sting looked over at Rogue and pointed at him before Rogue jumped down, fist-bumped each other, and walked into the corner.

"They talk the talk, that's for sure, but we'll see if they can walk the walk at StarShow," Beth explained as the crowd began cheering when 'Get Up and Dance' by Faber Drive played, the crowd cheering as Gene and Eddy ran out of the back, and slid onto the stage on their knees. Gene and Eddy then got back up to their feet, and much to the crowd's delight, the two engaged in a little dance on the stage. Dutch rolled his eyes, telling Gene and Eddy to hurry up and get to the ring, which Gene and Eddy responded to by walking down the entranceway while continuing to dance.

"And her opponents, representing 2Cool, they are the team of Gene Belcher and Eddy!" Mary Hughes announced, with the two continuing to dance to the ring while continuing to give the fans in the front row multiple high-fives. Sting and Rogue continued stretching in the ring while Eddy jumped up onto Gene's back, the crowd continued cheering as Eddy shot his fist in the air while Gene walked themselves to the ring. Eddy jumped off of Gene's shoulder, onto the apron, and began moonwalking on the ring apron before jumping onto the top turnbuckle. Gene followed suit by going into the ring through the middle rope and dancing in front of an unimpressed Gene and Eddy.

"2Cool have been one of the most popular tag teams in the BTWF, but haven't had the championship gold to truly show themselves as the best tag team in the BTWF!" Nigel exclaimed as Eddy backflipped off of the top rope and onto the canvas before joining Gene in the dancing. Sting and Rogue walked over to Gene and Eddy, called them losers, and pushed them, the crowd booing as they both raised their fists in the air. The crowd cheered as Gene and Eddy stomped over to Sting and Rogue, and pushed them back, almost resulting in a pre-match brawl, which was stopped by the referee.

"2Cool aren't going to take that disrespect lightly!" Beth exclaimed as Dutch yelled at the referee to start a match. In response, the referee made sure both teams were ready after separating them, before telling the timekeeper to ring the bell. Sting and Gene were the legal men in the match, and the two locked up in the middle of the ring, the crowd cheering as Gene was able to throw Sting into the corner. However, Sting was able to get out of the corner and grabbed Gene's arm in a Wristlock, which Gene responded to by throwing Sting back into the corner, hitting him with several punches to the side of the head before running the ropes, and hitting a Twisting Running Corner Forearm to the side of Sting's head.

"Gene almost knocked Sting's head off of its shoulders with that Corner Forearm!" Beth exclaimed as Gene climbed up to the top turnbuckle, and hit Sting with the ten-punch salute before throwing him out of the corner with a Monkey Flip. Sting looked shocked at Gene throwing him out of the corner and attempted to hit him with a Clothesline, but Gene was able to dodge and hit Sting with several punches to the side of the gut before running the ropes and hitting Sting with a One-Handed Bulldog before tagging Eddy back into the match. The crowd continued cheering as Eddy climbed up onto Gene's shoulders, and dived off of him and onto Sting with a Splash before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…

"Eddy with a big splash off his partner's shoulders, but Sting was still able to kick out!" Nigel exclaimed as Eddy picked Sting up, and hit him with multiple punches to the chest, but Sting responded with a poke to the eye, the crowd booing as Sting tagged Rogue into the match. However, the crowd cheered as Eddy threw Rogue around the ring with multiple Japanese Arm Drags before knocking Rogue down with a Jumping Calf Kick. The crowd continued cheering as Eddy sent Sting flying out of the ring with a Running Dropkick to the side of the head. Eddy then ran the ropes, springboarding off the middle rope to hit a Springboard Diving Forearm to Rogue's face before throwing him into the corner, tagging Gene into the match. Eddy then ran the ropes, hit a Running Corner Dropkick to Rogue's face, and then moved out of the way to allow Gene to hit a Running Body Avalanche onto Rogue.

"Eddy picking up the pace of this match, and doing that made sure that Sting and Rogue couldn't pick up momentum!" Okabe exclaimed as Gene threw Rogue out of the corner, allowing Eddie to hit him with a Frankensteiner. Gene finished the barrage of moves, hitting Eddy with a Running Senton across the chest before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2.

Gene wasn't deterred by the two count, picked up Rogue, and hit him with a Short-Arm Clothesline before running the ropes and hitting a Running Leg Drop across the throat. The crowd continued cheering as Gene picked Rogue back up and threw him into the corner, but before he could do anything to Rogue, Gene knocked Sting off the apron again with a Running Dusty Elbow to the top of the head. Gene then ran into the corner, hit Rogue with a Running Corner Clothesline, and tagged Eddy back into the match. Gene threw a dazed Rogue out of the corner, and when Eddy climbed back up to the top rope, Gene threw him off the top rope, allowing Eddy to hit a high-impact Crossbody onto Rogue.

"Eddy and Gene showing off their chemistry as a tag team, not letting Rogue and Sting get a single bit of offense in!" Okabe exclaimed as Eddy picked Rogue up, and hit him with multiple punches before throwing him into the corner. Eddy then attempted to run into the corner to hit Rogue with another Running Corner Dropkick, but the crowd booed as Sting moved Rogue out of the corner, sending Eddy crashing into the corner and stuck in a Tree of Woe position. The crowd continued booing as Rogue began stomping on an upside-down Eddy before putting him on the top turnbuckle and clubbing him several times in the back before following him up to the top turnbuckle.

"Thanks to Sting, Rogue is able to get some control back in this match, but the question is whether or not they can maintain that advantage!" Okabe exclaimed as Rogue attempted to put Eddy in position for a Top Rope Back Suplex, but the crowd cheered as Eddy hit multiple punches to the top of Rogue's head, pushing him off the top rope and back onto the floor. Rogue, though staggered, landed on his feet, though the crowd cheered as Eddy dived off the top rope to knock Rogue back down with a Moonsault before rolling into a pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

The crowd booed as Sting slid back into the ring and pulled Eddy off of his partner by the hair. The crowd cheered and booed accordingly as Eddy and Sting began exchanging punches with each other.

The crowd continued booing as Rogue and Sting hit Eddy with an Assisted Swinging Neckbreaker before Sting slid back onto the apron.

"Once again, Sting paying dividends for his partner, allowing Rogue to take Eddy down once again!" Nigel exclaimed as Rogue stomped on Eddy's back multiple times before tagging Sting into the match while pressing his foot on the back of Eddy's neck. Rogue picked Eddy back up and held his arms behind his back, allowing Sting to hold multiple punches to the gut before running the ropes, and hitting a Russian Legsweep/Running Clothesline combination. Sting then ran the ropes and hit Eddy on the top of the head with a Jumping Knee Drop before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

"And unlike a few minutes ago, Rogue and Sting are actually able to keep Eddy away from his partner and off his feet!" Beth exclaimed as Sting mounted Eddy, and hit him with multiple punches to the side of the head before picking him up, kneeing him in the gut multiple times, and picking him up, hitting him with an Alabama Slam. Eddy attempted to roll to the ropes, but the crowd continued booing as Sting ran the ropes, and hit a Running Knee Lift to the side of the head before throwing Eddy overhead with a Belly-to-Back Suplex. Sting then threw Eddy back into the corner before tagging Rogue back into the match and putting him on the middle rope, allowing him and Rogue to hit Eddy with a Double Middle Rope Back Suplex.

"A Double Back Suplex by Legacy, folding Eddy up like an accordion!" Nigel exclaimed as Rogue picked Eddy up and pushed him into the ropes before running the ropes after him, and turning Eddy inside out with a Running Clothesline. Rogue then hit a couple of Fist Drops to the top of Eddy's head before running the ropes and hitting a Running Big Boot to the side of the head. The crowd continued booing as Rogue threw Eddy into the ropes and draped his head over the middle rope, running the ropes, and hitting a Leaping Body Guillotine. Eddy staggered out of the corner, and Rogue responded by taking him down with a Reverse DDT before tagging Sting back into the match.

Ref: 1…2..

"That is a Neckbreaker that 'Ravishing' Rick Rude would've been proud of!" Nigel exclaimed as Sting hit a Jumping Stomp to the top of Eddy's face before picking him up, and throwing him into the corner with a Hip Toss. Sting ran the ropes and hit a crumpled-up Eddy with a Hesitation Dropkick before tagging Rogue into the match, who jumped back into the ring with a stomp to the chest. The crowd continued booing as Rogue and Sting stomped a mudhole into Eddy, causing Gene to come running into the ring to stop the assault on his partner. Sting rolled out of the ring, prompting the referee to try and push Gene back to his corner, which Sting took advantage of by choking Eddy with his forearm.

"Sting once again showing his ring awareness, taking advantage of the referee distracting Gene to inflict more damage onto Eddy!"

Beth exclaimed as Rogue put Eddy in a seated position, and began clubbing him in the chest before putting him in a Seated Cobra Clutch. The crowd chanted for Eddy while Rogue told the crowd to shut up and told Eddy to give up. Eddy shook his head and attempted to pull himself towards the ropes, but Rogue was able to roll him back to the center of the ring, kneeing him in the back multiple times while continuing to pull back onto the Cobra Clutch.

"Rogue has a tight Cobra Clutch locked in the middle of the ring, the throat compressed thanks to Eddy's arm being pushed right into Rogue's arm," Nigel noted as Eddy began getting back to his feet, causing the crowd to cheer louder as Eddy began hitting several Back Kicks to Rogue's chest.

Beth exclaimed as Sting finally took his attention back to Eddy, attempting to hit him with the Holy Nova (Cross Rhodes). However, the crowd cheered as Eddy ducked out of the hold, and pushed both his feet into Sting's chin, sending him staggering and allowing Eddy to come back up to his feet, and attempt to stagger back to his corner for the tag. However, Sting grabbed Eddy by the leg and attempted to hit him with a German Suplex, but Eddy was able to land on his feet and hit Sting with a Backstabber, the crowd cheering as Eddy and Sting both fell to the ground.

"Oh my God! That defies the laws of physics, but if there's one thing that wrestling has taught me, it's that the laws of physics are no match for professional wrestling!" Okabe exclaimed as Gene knocked Rogue into the ropes with a Dropkick before pinning Sting.

Ref: 1…2…

"Here are your winners, the team of Gene Belcher and Eddy, 2Cool!" Mary Hughes announced, the crowd cheering as Eddy and Gene hugged each other in the ring. The two engaged in a dance in the corner while Dutch crawled into the ring with a hand over his head, heading over to his unconscious charge. Dutch helped Sting back to his feet, telling the cheering and laughing crowd to shut up and that this was just a setback. While Dutch continued ranting at the crowd that Legacy were going to win at StarShow, Gene and Eddy looked at each other, smirked, and continued dancing, this time dancing/walking up to Dutch, causing Dutch to almost jump back.

"Eddy and Gene having fun on their way to StarShow! You have to imagine though that Dutch is going to be working his boys overtime for StarShow now that Eddy and Gene proved that they could get the win!" Beth exclaimed as Dutch yelled at Eddy and Gene before helping Sting out of the ring. While Dutch and Sting helped Rogue back up on his feet on the outside, Gene and Eddy continued celebrating in the ring, dancing along with the cheering crowd. Eddy and Gene then hugged each other before jumping up to the top turnbuckles and pointing at the cheering fans, telling them that this was going to happen at StarShow too.

"Could this be the scene at StarShow!? We could be seeing Eddy and Gene climbing their way back up to the BTWF World Tag Team Championship ranks!" Nigel exclaimed as the camera panned to the back. Kaworu Nagisa and Senku Ishigami were standing by watching Gene and Eddy celebrating, looking unimpressed and shaking their heads while continuing to take notes on their opponents. They were then interrupted by Todd Grisham, who had walked up to them with a microphone in his hands.

"Excuse me, Kaworu and Senku, we just saw two of your opponents in the upcoming Fatal-4-Wat Tag Team #1 contenders match at StarShow, and I wanted to get your impressions of four of your opponents," Todd explained. Senku smirked before walking up, grabbing the microphone, and looking back at Kaworu.

"I don't know, Kaworu, I honestly wasn't too impressed," Senku responded as Kaworu nodded while closing his eyes.

"That's true, Mr. Ishigami. While the more…simple of the human race in the audience may have enjoyed the match and may think that Gene and Eddy have a chance, the more sophisticated of us know that the only right choice is myself and Mr. Ishigami coming out of StarShow with the #1 contendership under our belts, and the BTWF World Tag Team Championship belts around our waists soon after," Kaworu explained as Senku nodded in agreement while patting a smug Kaworu on the back. However, before Todd could respond, the Huntsmen (Jaune Arc & Lie Ren) came walking up to Senku and Kaworu.

"Well, nice to know you're so confident heading into StarShow, but there's one thing you haven't thought about; us," Jaune explained, pointing to both him and Ren. Kaworu and Senku looked at each other before rolling their eyes.

"You're right, we haven't considered you guys in our battle plan. And there's a good reason for that; because we don't think you two are much of a threat," Senku explained with Kaworu nodding in agreement with his snout high in the air.

"You know, for two people who consider themselves intellectuals, you have the mentality of children. When you have an important match like the one coming out at StarShow, you have to take ALL of your opponents seriously," Ren explained, causing Kaworu and Senku to look at Ren with wide-eyed expressions. However, rather than blow up at Ren and Jaune, the two took deep breaths and calmed down before Kaworu responded again.

"Quite correct, Mr. Ren, but we saw your performance in the Gauntlet match, and we weren't very impressed with your performance either. I mean, sure, you guys are one of VCW's best tag teams, but VCW isn't around anymore and the creators of that company don't even get along with each other," Senku said with a smirk on his face. Before Ren could say anything, Jaune walked in between him and Senku, Kaworu looking slightly impressed at the moxie of this BTWF newcomer.

"Look, VCW doesn't have anything to do with what's going on right now. We're who we are right now because of VCW, but in the BTWF, we have another chance to prove why we're the best tag team in the world. And trust us, if you don't believe we are yet, you're gonna know at StarShow," Jaune explained, patting Ren on the back while he nodded in agreement. Kaworu and Senku looked at each other with raised eyebrows before Kaworu scoffed, leading Senku away from two of their StarShow opponents.

Ren and Jaune fist-bumped each other before the camera panned to the backstage interview area, where Squidward Tentacles was standing next to BTWF Champion Natsu Dragneel, who was standing with the BTWF Championship slung over his shoulder with a serious look on his face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we're only a few nights away from BTWF Starshow. Natsu, your opponent for StarShow, Denki Kaminari, is going to be in action against Black Star, who you defended the BTWF Championship against a few weeks ago. Kaminari said he could defeat Black Star faster than you did. How do you respond to that?" Squidward asked as Natsu looked up and shrugged before responding.

"Maybe he can, and maybe he can't. Honestly, I don't really care if he can or can't. No offense to Black Star, but Black Star isn't me and isn't going to be the one defending one of the most coveted prizes in all of fanfiction wrestling at Starshow," Natsu explained, Squidward being taken aback at the focused and serious tone of Natsu's voice.

"What do you have planned for Kaminari tonight heading into your big title match?" Squidward asked.

"Last week I said that I was going to beat Kaminari's ass the next time I saw him, and that's not going to change. Whether Kaminari wins or loses, I'm going to give him a taste of what he can expect at StarShow, and maybe he'll learn that he's just not built for the BTWF Championship," Natsu explained before patting the BTWF Championship and walking away.

The camera panned away from Squidward's interested face and back to the stage, where 'Virus' by Memphis May Fire played, the crowd cheering as KIRISHIMA came running out of the back, flexing one of his arms before pointing at the cheering fans. KIRISHIMA then began pounding on the mat before shooting both his fists up in the air and walking down the entranceway, high-fiving all the fans in the front row. The camera then panned to the commentary table, where BTWF United States Champion Shinji Ikari was sitting next to the commentary team, though he didn't have a headset on, and had a blank look on her face.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Musutafu Japan, KIRISHIMA!" Mary Hughes announced, the crowd continuing to cheer as KIRISHIMA noticed a couple of fans with cameras in their hands, and posed for them, the crowd maintaining their positive reactions as those same fans showed off their pictures of KIRISHIMA. KIRISHIMA continued making his way to the ring, high-fiving more fans in the front row before running to the corner of the fan barricade, beating his chest while letting out a battle cry, much to the crowd's delight.

"KIRISHIMA is going to be a part of the Feast or Famine match at StarShow, and what better way to get himself some momentum than trying to beat the undefeated #1 contender for the BTWF United States Champion!?" Nigel asked as KIRISHIMA ran up the steel steps before jumping onto the top rope, beating his chest with his right fist, and throwing it into the air. KIRISHIMA then jumped off the top rope, and ran to the center of the ring, jumping in the air before punching the center of the ring, and giving the cheering crowd another battle cry.

"Laxus has been a force of nature when it comes to the ring, but if anyone can stall his momentum, it has to be the Red Riot," Okabe explained as the camera panned to KIRISHIMA stretching in the corner before a bolt of lightning shot from the ceiling to the stage, the crowd booing as 'Down From the Sky' by Trivium played. Mirajane sauntered out of the back in a long black dress before presenting Laxus, who walked out of the back with a golden robe. Laxus kneeled down to one knee, with Mirajane walking around him, running her hands through his hair before Laxus kipped back to his feet, flexing at the center of the stage, causing pyro to shoot out of the sides of the stage.

"And his opponent, accompanied to the ring my Mirajane Strauss, from Magnolia Fiore, he is 'The God of Thunder' Laxus Dreyar!" Mary Hughes announced as Mirajane grabbed Laxus' robe, took it off, and pecked him on the cheek before putting the robe down on the floor and grabbing Laxus' arm. The crowd continued booing as Laxus walked down to the ring with Mirajane still firmly attached to his arm. The camera panned back to Shinji, who looked up at Laxus, the blank expression on his face not changing the camera panned slightly to the side to show off the BTWF United States Championship that was lying on the table.

"Shinji has joined us at ringside for this match, but he's made it clear that he's not interested in talking, and that he's more interested in scouting his #1 contender for StarShow," Okabe explained as Laxus continued making his way to the ring while Mirajane told booing fans to talk to the hand. When the two arrived at the ringside area, Laxus and Mirajane walked up the steel steps, with Mirajane walking across the ring apron, sitting on the second rope, allowing Laxus to walk through the opening that she made. Laxus then pushed down the bottom rope with his foot while pulling up the middle rope, creating an opening for Mirajane to walk through.

"Laxus may be the biggest challenge Shinji's had for that title he's holding. I can't blame him for being all out of sorts," Beth noted as Mirajane and Laxus walked to the center of the ring. The crowd continued booing as Mirajane walked around Laxus while stroking his abs and muscles with her pointer finger before making out with him again in the center of the ring. When their kiss ended, Mirajane walked out of the ring, but not before presenting Laxus to the jeering audience again. KIRISHIMA rolled his eyes while he was stretching, which Laxus disregarded, telling Shinji that he needed to watch what happened to KIRISHIMA.

"Laxus isn't letting up with the mind games, and that's the best thing he can do, especially when he has a major title match coming up on PPV!" Okabe exclaimed as the referee made sure both men were ready before telling the timekeeper to ring the bell. Once the match started, Laxus and KIRISHIMA locked up in the middle of the ring, with both men trying to push each other away, but neither man was able to gain an advantage. Laxus attempted to push KIRISHIMA away again, but he was able to stand his ground, the force of Laxus' push causing him to slip out of KIRISHIMA's grip. Laxus looked entertained, putting his hand up, and telling KIRISHIMA that he was going to have a test of strength with him.

"Laxus trying to out-muscle KIRISHIMA, and if anyone can match power with Laxus, it's Red Riot KIRISHIMA!" Nigel exclaimed as KIRISHIMA smirked before cracking his knuckles and grabbing Laxus' hands. However, the crowd booed as Laxus kicked KIRISHIMA in the gut before kneeing him several times in the gut, pushing him down onto his knees. The crowd's jeers grew louder as Laxus kept both of KIRISHIMA's hands in his grip, continuing to push KIRISHIMA down, telling the crowd that he was the stronger one. Mirajane applauded as KIRISHIMA tried to pick himself up, which Laxus responded to by pushing him on his knees again.

"Laxus able to take advantage of KIRISHIMA's hubris, using him as a way to demonstrate his strength to the BTWF United States Champion!" Okabe exclaimed as while Laxus was rubbing it in KIRISHIMA's face, the crowd began cheering again as KIRISHIMA pulled himself back up to his feet, and while Laxus continued telling him that he wasn't strong enough. The crowd's cheers got louder as KIRISHIMA began kicking Laxus in the gut and attempted to hit him with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex. However, the crowd went back to booing as Laxus knocked KIRISHIMA down with a hard Forearm shot to the side of the head.

"Wow! That Forearm was heavier than a dead preacher!" Beth exclaimed as Laxus grabbed KIRISHIMA by the hair, and threw him face-first into the top turnbuckle. The crowd continued booing as Laxus smirked at Shinji before hitting him in the back with multiple shoulder thrusts. Laxus then turned KIRISHIMA away and hit him with a Frying Pan Chop before running the ropes, attempting to hit him with a Running Corner Forearm. However, KIRISHIMA was able to counter with a boot to the side of the head, sending Laxus staggering away, the crowd cheering as KIRISHIMA ran the ropes, and hit Laxus with a hard Running Forearm to the head, sending him staggering.

"Oh, good Lord! KIRISHIMA knocked the taste out of Laxus' mouth with that forearm!" Nigel exclaimed as KIRISHIMA began hitting Laxus in the sides of his face with multiple punches. KIRISHIMA then attempted to Irish whip Laxus into the ropes, but Laxus countered the Irish whip, sending KIRISHIMA bouncing off the ropes. Laxus attempted to hit him with a Spinning Leg Lariat, but KIRISHIMA was able to duck and knocked Laxus down with a Clothesline. The crowd cheered, though Laxus was quickly able to get back to his feet, which KIRISHIMA responded with several Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before pushing him back into the corner.

"Laxus was briefly knocked down, but he stayed on his back for so little time, it's as if he wasn't knocked down at all!" Okabe exclaimed as KRISHIMA attempted to hit him with a Standing Corner Clothesline, but Laxus grabbed KIRISHIMA's arm and threw him away with a Judo Throw. Laxus stomped on the side of KIRISHIMA's arm multiple times before attempting to run the ropes and hit a Sliding Elbow Drop, but KIRISHIMA was able to dodge, causing Laxus to land on his arm. KIRISHIMA took advantage of this by grabbing Laxus' arm, wringing it, and attempting to knock him down with a couple of Short-Arm Clotheslines, but Laxus stayed on his feet.

"Shinji's looking at the match, and he's wound tighter than a three-day clock!" Beth exclaimed as KIRISHIMA attempted a third Short-Arm Clothesline, but Laxus was able to dodge, run the ropes, and make an attempt to hit KIRISHIMA with a Clothesline of his own. However, KIRISHIMA ducked, let Laxus rebound off the ropes, and threw him across the ring with a Hip Toss. Laxus immediately got back to his feet and attempted to hit him with the Raging Bolt (Goldberg-esque Spear). KIRISHIMA, however, was able to jump over Laxus, sending him into the corner, and allowing KIRISHIMA to quickly hit Laxus with a Running Corner Clothesline to the back of the head.

"A pinfall attempt hasn't happened yet, as it seems like the goal right now is sending a message, Laxus to Shinji, and KIRISHIMA to the other participant in the male Feast-or-Fired match!" Nigel exclaimed as KIRISHIMA turned Laxus around in the corner, and hit him with several more hard Forearm strikes to the side of the head. KIRISHIMA attempted to pick Laxus up for an Exploder Suplex, but Laxus responded by hitting him with several Back Elbows to the side of the head. The crowd booed as Laxus threw KIRISHIMA down with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex, bridging into a pinfall.

Ref: 1…

"KIRISHIMA kicking out of that Suplex, telling Laxus that he's not going to be bullied around like he hopes!" Beth exclaimed as Laxus picked KIRISHIMA back up, and attempted to throw him outside, but he was able to stay on the apron. Laxus responded by hitting KIRISHIMA in the side of the head with a Running Big Boot to the side of the head, sending KIRISHIMA crashing against the side of the commentary table. The crowd continued booing as Laxus walked out of the ring, and playfully kicked the side of KIRISHIMA's head while pressing his face against the commentary table, telling Shinji to get a good look at his future.

"We're getting a good view of just how dominant Laxus can be!" Nigel exclaimed as Laxus picked KIRISHIMA up in a Fireman's Carry, but the crowd cheered as KIRISHIMA was able to slide out of Laxus' grasp, and slam his face into the commentary table multiple times, the crowd cheering and chanting for KIRISHIMA. Laxus staggered away from the commentary table, and after KIRISHIMA gave a thumbs-up to a conflicted-looking Shinji, KIRISHIMA pushed Laxus face-first into the steel ring apron. The crowd continued cheering as KIRISHIMA hit several Knife-Edge Chops to Laxus' chest before backing away, preparing for another move into the steel ring post.

Ref: 1…2…3

"I don't know what KIRISHIMA has planned here, but he's going to need to get creative if he wants to beat this force of nature in Laxus Dreyar!" Okabe exclaimed as KIRISHIMA attempted to hit Laxus with a Jumping Stinger Splash into the steel ring post, but the crowd booed and gasped as Laxus moved out of the way, and pushed KIRISHIMA's face right into the steel ring post. The crowd continued booing as Laxus looked over his reddening chest in anger before looking back at a now-bleeding KIRISHIMA and hitting him with a Side Kick to the jaw. Laxus then picked KIRISHIMA up and threw him into the corner of the fan barricade with a Fallaway Slam.

"Ref: …4…5

"Laxus taking control of the match, and using whatever's at his disposal to make sure that control stays in his corner!" Nigel exclaimed as Laxus grabbed KIRISHIMA by the hair, and began dragging him to the commentary table, smirking at Shinji before throwing KIRISHIMA into the steel steps, with enough force to knock both portions of the steel steps down. KIRISHIMA writhed on the ground while holding his arm in pain before Laxus stomped on his chest several times. Laxus then grabbed KIRISHIMA's head and smashed his head into the side of the overturned steel steps several times.

Ref: …6…7…8

Laxus responded to the referee's count by putting KIRISHIMA in a Military Press and throwing him back into the ring by tossing him over the top rope. The crowd continued booing as Laxus flexed right at Shinji, telling him that he's never dealt with anyone as strong as he was.

"Shinji hasn't responded to a single one of Laxus' comments. Is…is Laxus really getting to Shinji?" Beth asked worriedly as Laxus slid back into the ring, and began stomping on KIRISHIMA's chest and arms again. Laxus picked KIRISHIMA back up and hit him with several punches to the side of the head before throwing him overhead with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex. KIRISHIMA then picked himself up in the corner, attempting to wipe the blood off of his face, but the crowd continued booing as Laxus ran into the corner, hitting KIRISHIMA in the head with a Running Corner Big Boot to the chin. Laxus then turned around and started hitting KIRISHIMA with multiple Back Elbows to both sides of his face before turning around, and hitting him with a hard Discus Forearm to the side of the head, sending him staggering out of the corner.

"Laxus may be a crazy powerhouse, but he's also got impressive strikes. It takes a lot of form and control to perform strikes that powerful, and not many powerhouses have that level of form and control," Okabe explained as Laxus continued kicking KIRISHIMA in the chest while he continued staggering out of the corner. Laxus then picked KIRISHIMA up and threw him down with a Sidewalk Slam before running the ropes, hitting KIRISHIMA in the chest and midsection with a Jumping Splash, and going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

Laxus smirked at KIRISHIMA kicking out and responded by picking him up and hitting him with a Snap Swinging Neckbreaker.

"Laxus with a quick Neckbreaker there, showing how little concern he has over KIRISHIMA kicking out," Nigel explained as Laxus put KIRISHIMA in a seated position, turned to Shinji, told him to watch, and hit KIRISHIMA with a hard kick to the back. Laxus put KIRISHIMA back in a seated position and hit him with another hard kick to the back before pushing his foot into the back of his head and neck. Mirajane applauded from the outside and began gloating at Shinji that he and the rest of the fans in the audience were looking at the next BTWF United States Champion. The crowd continued booing as Laxus kicked KIRISHIMA in the back of the head before running the ropes, and hitting him with a Jumping Leg Drop across the throat.

"Laxus is just toying with KIRISHIMA at this point, the same thing he does to anyone he doesn't see as worthy of him," Beth noted as Laxus pressed the heel of his boot against the wound on KIRISHIMA's head, yelling at him that he was a loser. Laxus then picked KIRISHIMA up and lifted him up over his head in a Military Press, the crowd booing as Laxus began bench-pressing KIRISHIMA while Mirajane counted how many presses Laxus did on the outside. Laxus then sent KIRISHIMA crashing into the middle of the canvas with a Military Press Powerslam before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

"Laxus' power is insane! He's pressing KIRISHIMA like a dumbbell without any issue at all! And that's the power Shinji's going to have to overcome at StarShow!" Nigel exclaimed as Laxus picked KIRISHIMA up, and hit him with several kicks to the legs. The crowd, however, began cheering as KIRISHIMA began kicking Laxus in the gut, attempting to push him away, but Laxus responded by knocking KIRISHIMA onto his knees with a High Head Kick. Laxus then grabbed KIRISHIMA's arm and locked him in a Full Nelson while keeping him on his knees. KIRISHIMA attempted to pull himself over to the ropes, but Laxus threw KIRISHIMA back on the ground in the center of the ring while keeping the Full Nelson locked in.

"Laxus keeping the Full Nelson locked in, and him pressing KIRISHIMA down onto the canvas face first is going to make the Full Nelson even more painful!" Nigel exclaimed as KIRSIHIMA began pulling himself off of the canvas, the crowd cheering again as KIRISHIMA continued pulling himself up back to his feet using the ropes, but Laxus threw KIRISHIMA halfway across the ring with a Dragon Suplex, the crowd going back to booing as when KIRISHIMA landed on his knees, Laxus hit him in the face with a Running Knee Lift before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"That knee was powerful enough to almost knock KIRISHIMA out, but he barely raised his shoulder off the mat!" Nigel exclaimed as Laxus turned KIRISHIMA on his stomach, mounted his mach, and began hitting him with multiple forearms to the back of the head before the referee pulled him off. The referee checked KIRISHIMA and confirmed that he could still continue, and Laxus immediately responded by picking KIRISHIMA up, and attempting to hit him with a Back Suplex. However, the crowd cheered as KIRISHIMA was able to flip out of Laxus' grasp, and locked him in a Full Nelson of his own, the crowd exploding into cheers as Laxus immediately attempted to get to the ropes.

"KIRISHIMA has Laxus locked in a Full Nelson of his own! Can KIRISHIMA pull off the upset!?" Beth exclaimed as KIRISHIMA jumped up onto Laxus' back and locked him in a Bodyscissors while continuing to keep Laxus in a Full Nelson. Laxus attempted once again to make it to the ropes, but he began falling to one knee, the Full Nelson beginning to make him pass out. However, when the referee checked his hand, the crowd booed as Laxus showed he was still in the match, standing back on his feet. Laxus then rammed KIRISHIMA's back into the corner multiple times, allowing Laxus to free himself from KIRISHIMA's grasp. The crowd continued booing as Laxus hit KIRISHIMA with multiple punches to the side of the face before running the ropes and attempting to hit him with a Running Corner Clothesline, but KIRISHIMA was able to grab Laxus and throw him into the corner with a Uranage.

"KIRISHIMA showing off some strength of his own against Laxus! He almost sent Laxus crashing through the corner!" Nigel exclaimed as Shinji looked up in interest before KIRISHIMA unleashed a series of punches to the side of the head and chops to the chest before the referee pulled him out of the corner. KIRISHIMA then ran out of the corner, and hit Laxus with several Clotheslines, sending Laxus staggering before running the ropes and knocking Laxus down for a moment with a Running Forearm Shot. Laxus quickly rolled back to his feet and attempted to hit him with a Spinning Leg Lariat, but KIRISHIMA picked both of Laxus' legs up and threw him into the corner with a Turnbuckle Powerbomb.

"Good Lord! KIRISHIMA throwing Laxus into the corner with a backbreaking Powerbomb!" Okabe exclaimed as Laxus staggered out of the corner before KIRISHIMA picked Laxus up, and hit him with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex before bridging into a pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

Laxus kicked out and immediately got back to his feet, though he was holding his back in pain. The crowd cheered as KIRISHIMA hit Laxus in the sides of the head with several forearms before picking Laxus up, and putting him in the Torture Rack.

"Oh, God! Laxus is in the Torture Rack! Could this be a tap out for KIRISHIMA!?" Beth exclaimed in shock as Laxus began screaming in pain as KIRISHIMA continued jumping up and down for the Torture Rack. However, Laxus began hitting KIRISHIMA in the top of the head with multiple punches, allowing himself to get out of KIRISHIMA's grasp, run the ropes, and hit KIRISHIMA with a Raging Bolt (Goldberg-Esque Spear) to KIRISHIMA's back, sending him falling into the ropes. The crowd continued booing as Laxus picked KIRISHIMA up, hitting him with a Stun Gun that sent his throat crashing into the top rope and then hit him with a Spinebuster.

"Laxus with a Spear right to the back! I'm shocked that KIRISHIMA can even still move after that one!" Nigel exclaimed as Laxus went into the corner, preparing for another Raging Bolt (Goldberg-Esque Spear). When KIRISHIMA got back to his feet, Laxus ran at him, attempting to hit him with the Raging Bolt (Goldberg-Esque Spear), but the crowd cheered as KIRISHIMA jumped over him, causing Laxus to crash into the corner. KIRISHIMA responded by hitting Laxus with a Spin-Out Powerbomb, and before Laxus could get up, KIRISHIMA put Laxus in the Camel Clutch.

"KIRISHIMA once again getting the better of Laxus, putting Laxus in another submission that targets the back!" Okabe exclaimed as Laxus shook his head when the referee attempted to ask him if he wanted to give up. However, the crowd booed as Laxus once again pulled himself back up to his feet despite KIRISHIMA attempting to maintain a hold of the Camel Clutch. Laxus then turned around while KIRISHIMA was still holding onto him, and maneuvered KIRISHIMA so that he could be in place for the Roaring Thunder (Vertical Suplex Side Slam). The crowd booed as Laxus then slammed KIRISHIMA to the canvas with the Roaring Thunder (Vertical Suplex Side Slam) before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…3

*Bell Rings*

"Here is your winner, 'The God of Thunder' Laxus Dreyar!" Mary Hughes announced, the crowd booing as Mirajane slid into the ring while applauding, jumping into Laxus' arms with a hug. Laxus and Mirajane kissed in the middle of the ring while Laxus was pressing his foot on top of a downed KIRISHIMA, the crowd booing as Shinji slowly stood back up to his feet, grabbing the BTWF United States Championship off the top of the commentary table. Shinji began walking up the steel steps and into the ring while Laxus and Mirajane continued celebrating by kicking KIRISHIMA out of the ring.

"Laxus with another impressive victory heading into StarShow, but what does Shinji have planned here?" Okabe asked as Laxus and Mirajane noticed that Shinji was walking in with the championship. Laxus smirked at the BTWF United States Champion before swiping the championship out of his hands, the crowd booing as Laxus looked down at Shinji and told him to look at his future. Mirajane continued taunting Shinji from the side, slapping him in the side of the head before Laxus threw the BTWF United States Championship back at Shinji's chest, brushing him off before continuing to celebrate.

"Shinji may be all out of sorts tonight, but disrespect is always enough to snap someone out of whatever stupor Shinji is in," Nigel noted as Shinji grabbed Laxus by the arm and turned him around. Laxus smirked at Shinji before pushing him away, and while Shinji was trying to regain his footing, Laxus nailed him with the Raging Bolt (Goldberg-Esque Spear). The crowd booed as Mirajane applauded Laxus' attack, but the crowd quieted down and so did Mirajane as they realized that Laxus hadn't gotten back up to his feet. Mirajane walked over to Laxus and Shinji, the crowd cheering as Shinji got back to his feet and took off his shirt, revealing a steel plate around his waist.

"Oh, that clever son of a bitch! He hoodwinked us all!" Beth exclaimed with a laugh as Shinji took the steel plate off before smirking at an irate Mirajane, and raising the BTWF United States Championship over his head. Shinji noticed Laxus beginning to stir, and he responded by putting the US title around his waist and hitting Laxus with a Peace of Mind (Curb Stomp). However, Shinji wasn't done, as he jumped up to the middle rope, and hit a Genesis Moonsault (Christopher Daniels' Best Moonsault Ever) onto Laxus. Shinji then jumped up to the top turnbuckle and showed off the BTWF United States Championship around his waist while Mirajane began screaming her head off, saying that Shinji was going to pay for this.

"Shinji showed us that he can take Laxus down! Shinji could end the dominance of Laxus before it has a chance to really get going!" Nigel exclaimed as Shinji looked down at the camera, and told the fans at home that he's been holding onto this championship for too long to just simply give up. Shinji admits that Laxus is one of the most powerful forces on Octane right now, but Shinji's made a career out of defying expectations and proving people wrong. Shinji finished off by saying that at StarShow, he's going to retain his United States Championship and Laxus is going to have to find a new victim, and that was undisputed.

"Laxus and Mirajane aren't going to take this lying down, but Shinji isn't going to back away and make sure he gets to month 11 of his historic BTWF United States Championship reign!" Okabe exclaimed as a couple of referees attempted to help Laxus out of the ring, but Laxus pushed them away from him, with Mirajane yelling that Laxus doesn't need help from losers like them.

The camera panned to Akira Hayami sitting in her locker room, all the lights off except for a lone spotlight above her. Akira was dressed in her red and black robe while looking down at the floor, not even giving any attention to the camera facing her. Akira took a couple of deep breaths before beginning to speak, her voice low and serious, but with an underlying angry growl.

"Ever since the Sisterhood got involved in my business, it's as if my spotlight has diverged into all these different directions. I don't do well with sharing my spotlight," Akira explained as she looked around her, visions of Sam, Rei, and Sherry attempting to approach her spotlight came up. Akira smirked before getting up from her seat, taking the hood of her robe off, and cracking her knuckles in anticipation.

"Sherry's 'hostile takeover' of Octane, Sam's big comeback, and Rei's little redemption against the Sisterhood, that's all anyone's talking about! It's ridiculous!" Akira exclaimed before walking up and heading towards the vision of Sherry first.

"If Sherry wasn't constantly surrounded by her Sisterhood, I'd have stopped this issue with her and her little hostile takeover at the snap of my fingers!" Akira exclaimed before hitting the vision of Sherry with a German Suplex, causing it to dissipate. Akira smirked before making her way towards the vision of Sam.

"If Sam thought that neck injury Clover gave her was bad, she doesn't want to know what I'll put her through in our StarShow match!" Akira exclaimed before kicking the vision in the gut, and hitting her with a Powerbomb, causing the vision to once again disappear. Akira cricked her neck before heading towards the vision of Rei.

"And as for Rei, you're the biggest culprit who's been trying to steal my spotlight. I don't care how you got screwed, because it's all about me!" Akira exclaimed before grabbing the vision of Rei by the hair, picking her up, and hitting her with the Spotlighter (F-5), causing the last apparition to disappear. Akira, satisfied, went back to her seat, smiling at her Spotlight being safe.

"Tonight's main event will only solidify the fact that I am the Spotlight of this women's division, and I'm the only one worthy of carrying the BTWF World Women's Championship," Akira said as she basked in the spotlight before the camera panned to a commercial break.

*Commercial Break*

*Commercial Over*

The camera panned to BTWF World Women's Champion Sherry Blendy in the basement of the arena where the lighting was the Sisterhood's signature blood red color, seated while clutching the BTWF World Women's Champion clutched close to her chest. Medusa Gorgon was there, massaging Sherry's back to calm her down.

"The forces are conspiring against me! Forcing me into the ring with three enemies of the Sisterhood! Not only will I battle these three at StarShow, but I'll be battling them in the main event tonight! Even with Akira on the same side of the ring as me, I know that she plans on destroying me!" Sherry ranted, slamming the side of her head into the steel chain-link fence behind her multiple times before Medusa attempted once again to calm Sherry down by running her hands through Sherry's pink hair, but this was to no avail.

"And to make matters worse, the forces have made sure that my sisters were already in peril tonight thanks to Zero Gravity! Not only that, but Xochi's begun losing her way and she's interfering with our mission! Everything's falling apart, and that could lead to the BTWF World Women's Championship being taken away from me!" Sherry continued ranting as Sherry pulled the BTWF World Women's Championship closer to her. Medusa knelt in front of Sherry and began rubbing Sherry's cheeks in circles with her thumbs, smiling at her before looking down at the BTWF World Women's Championship.

"Sherry, as the Sisterhood of Darkness' mother, I will never allow one of my children to go into a match without any proper protection. Trust me, my child, you will be the last woman standing tonight, and that will not change at StarShow," Medusa gently explained. Sherry's nervous breathing calmed to normal speed before looking up at her 'mother', and smiling at her before pressing the side of her head onto Medusa's shoulder.

"You're right, Mother. The Sisterhood of Darkness hasn't let me down yet, and our message has been sinking into the minds of the BTWF fans. But what will you do about Xochi?" Sherry asked, to which Medusa responded with a smirk, chuckling under her breath before patting Sherry on the back of the head.

"You just leave her to me. Rest assured, the Sisterhood will remain in one piece after StarShow," Medusa said, and the two continued to stay with each other in the comfort of their embrace before the camera panned back to the stage.

'Defy' by Of Mice and Men played, the crowd cheering as Black Star came running out of the back, spinning his arm before shooting his fist in the air. Black Star then ran to the camera, the crowd continuing to cheer as Black Star told the fans at home that Kaminari was in for the fight of his life tonight and that he'd be lucky to make it to StarShow by the time he was done with him. Black Star made his way down the entranceway, high-fiving all the fans that he could in the front row.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Death City, Nevada, Black Star!" Mary Hughes announced as Black Star jumped on top of the fan barricade, letting the audience pat him on the shoulder and the back while yelling at the crowd that he was kicking Kaminari's ass tonight. Black Star then jumped down from the fan barricade and continued making his way to the ring while high-fiving his fans. Black Star then stopped at the ringside area and raised his hands that were in a star formation, the crowd continuing to cheer for him.

"Our semi-main event is coming up shortly, with Black Star looking to get some momentum of his own heading into the Feast or Fired match!" Nigel exclaimed as Black Star slid into the ring from underneath the bottom rope before rolling into the center of the ring. Black Star lifted himself onto one knee and raised his hands once again into a star formation before getting into the corner. The camera then panned to BTWF Champion Natsu Dragneel, who was sitting at the commentary table with the BTWF Champion laid out on the table.

"This should be an interesting match, but it'll be even more interesting given the fact we have the BTWF Champion Natsu Dragneel on commentary!" Beth exclaimed in excitement as Natsu leaned over to shake Beth, Nigel, and Okabe's hands before the camera panned back to the ring, where Black Star had jumped onto the top rope, and put his hands in the star formation before telling the fans that Kaminari was going to be seeing stars soon before he jumped down from the top rope. As Black Star began stretching, 'Broken Dreams' by Shaman's Harvest played, the crowd booing as Tim Scam walked out, applauding as Denki Kaminari came out in a long camo coat.

"And his opponent, accompanied to the ring by Tim Scam, from Musutafu Japan, Denki Kaminari!" Mary Hughes announced, the crowd booing as Kaminari took his coat off, and looked up at Black Star stretching in the ring. Kaminari smirked as he shook his head, and told the audience that Black Star wasn't going to be able to beat him. Kaminari then threw his jacket up, which Scam caught almost effortlessly as Kaminari began walking towards the ring, with Scam following him and calling him the next BTWF Champion.

"Well now that Mary's done with the ring announcements, I just want to say it's nice sitting with you guys again, and it's going to be nice to see Kaminari getting his ass kicked tonight," Natsu explained with a small smile on his face before the camera panned back to the entranceway, where Kaminari continued his walk to the ring. Scam was talking into Kaminari's ear, going over strategy while Kaminari stared a hole through Black Star, telling him that he was going to use him as an example of what Natsu was going to expect at StarShow.

"Kaminari has said that he can defeat Black Star more quickly than you did a few weeks ago. One final mind game he can play before the biggest match of his career," Okabe explained as Kaminari and Scam fist-bumped each other before Kaminari walked up the steel steps, stealing a brief glance at the BTWF Champion Natsu Dragneel sitting next to the commentators. Natsu rolled his eyes at Kaminari's glare before Kaminari went back to focusing on Black Star, jumping over the top rope and then climbing up to the turnbuckle, raising his fists up.

"Black Star and I had a great match for my championship, so Kaminari should keep some of his ego at the door. Black Star could take him to school anytime he wanted to," Natsu explained as Kaminari jumped back down to the floor, smirking at Black Star before walking up to him, and slapping him in the face, the crowd booing as the referee pushed Kaminari away, telling him to save it for the match. The referee then made sure both men were ready before telling the timekeeper to ring the bell, starting the match, though the crowd exploded into cheers as Black Star hit Kaminari with a Shotgun Single Leg Dropkick to the face, sending his back crashing against the turnbuckles in the corner.

"And right at the start of the match, Black Star just proved Natsu's point!" Beth exclaimed as Black Star began hitting several forearms to the side of Kaminari's head before throwing him out of the corner and hitting him with another Running Single Leg Dropkick to the side of the head. Kaminari staggered back up to his feet, to which Black Star responded by hitting him with several kicks to the legs and the chest. Black Star then ran the ropes, and hit a Running Kick to the chest, sending Kaminari into the ropes. Black Star attempted to grab Kaminari for an Irish whip, but Kaminari responded by kicking Black Star in the knee a couple of times before throwing him into the corner. The crowd continued booing as Kaminari hit him with multiple punches to the side of the head before running the ropes and attempting to hit Black Star with a Running Corner Knee Strike, but Black Star dodged, sending Kaminari's knee crashing against the top turnbuckle.

"Black Star really putting in another shift here, knowing that this could lead him to more BTWF Championship opportunities down the road!" Nigel exclaimed as Black Star kicked Kaminari in the side of the head before hitting him with a Snap Vertical Suplex. Black Star then ran the ropes and springboarded off the middle rope before hitting Kaminari with a Springboard Corkscrew Splash and going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2

Black Star picked Kaminari back up and hit him with a couple more kicks to the chest, but Kaminari responded by poking him in the eyes.

"Kaminari showing how willing he is to get the victory in any match where momentum is the reward!" Okabe exclaimed as Kaminari attempted to put him in position for the AfterShock DDT (Drew McIntyre's Future Shock DDT). However, Black Star turned his body, allowing him to throw Kaminari off of him and onto the steel ring apron, and when Black Star saw this, he attempted to hit him with a Back Elbow. However, Kaminari dodged, grabbed Black Star's neck, and hit him with a Rope Hung Neckbreaker, sending Black Star falling onto all fours. Kaminari then climbed back up to the top rope, attempting to hit a diving move onto Black Star, but the crowd cheered as Black Star got back up to his feet, jumped up to the middle rope, and hit him with a Springboard Kick to the gut, sending him falling from the top rope and onto the commentary table, sending his jaw and head bouncing off the top of it.

"Oh, God! Kaminari was sent falling from almost 15-20 feet in the air, bending the side of our commentary table!" Nigel exclaimed as Scam worriedly ran over to Kaminari, trying to pick him up and take him back to the ring, but the crowd continued cheering as Black Star knocked them both down with a Running Baseball Slide Dropkick to the face. Black Star then slid onto the apron and springboarded off the middle rope to hit a Springboard Vader Bomb onto both Kaminari and Scam. The crowd continued cheering as Black Star ran up to Natsu and high-fived him before stomping on the side of Kaminari's head several times, picking him up, and throwing him into the fan barricade.

"Black Star making a huge statement tonight, as he's dominating Kaminari on the outside, even having time to high-five the BTWF Champion!" Beth exclaimed as Black Star looked ready to hit another Running Single Leg onto a dazed Kaminari, but the crowd booed as Kaminari was able to catch Black Star in mid-air and throw him into the steel ring apron with a Powerbomb. Kaminari then grabbed Black Star and threw him face-first into the steel ring post, but Kaminari wasn't done as he hit Black Star with a Back Suplex that sent his back bouncing off the steel ring apron.

Ref: 1…2…3

"Kaminari using his surroundings to his advantage, taking control of this match back!" Okabe exclaimed as Kaminari picked Black Star back up, and hit him with several punches to the side of the head. Black Star attempted to hit Kaminari with a punch of his own, but Kaminari was able to block the punch and send the side of his head into the commentary table. Kaminari gave Natsu a confident smirk before throwing Black Star back into the ring, and climbed back up to the top rope, hitting Black Star with a Frog Splash.

"I'll admit, that was a nice Frog Splash. It's nowhere near as good as my Five Star Dragon Splash, but it was still good," Natsu joked as Kaminari pinned Black Star, hooking both of his legs.

Ref: 1…2..

Kaminari responded to the kickout by grabbing Black Star by the head and hitting him with several forearms to the side of the head before hitting him with a Neckbreaker. Kaminari then put Black Star in a seated position and hit him with multiple knee strikes to the back before running the ropes and hitting him with a Sliding Grounded Clothesline. Scam, who had gotten back to his feet on the outside, applauded Kaminari as he stomped a couple of times on Black Star's chest before hitting a Jumping Knee Drop across Black Star's forehead.

"Kaminari slowing the pace of this match down to something more to his speed, and it's working," Nigel explained as Kaminari picked Black Star up and threw him back into the corner, sending his head bouncing off the top turnbuckle. Kaminari then turned Black Star around and hit several punches to the side of the head before running the ropes and hitting Black Star in the side of the head with a Running Corner Knee Strike. The crowd continued booing as Kaminari hit another Running Corner Knee Strike to the face before turning around, grabbing both of Black Star's legs and throwing him out of the corner with an Inverted Alabama Slam.

"Oh! Black Star almost landed on his head thanks to that Inverted Alabama Slam!" Okabe exclaimed as Kaminari picked Black Star up by the arm, and hit him with a Pumphandle Half-Nelson Driver before running the ropes and hitting a seated Black Star with a Running Uppercut to the back of the head before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

Kaminari picked Black Star up, but him in a Half-Nelson, and hit Black Star in the chest with multiple knee strikes to the chest before attempting to hit him with a German Suplex. Black Star, however, tried to fight back with several Back Elbows to the side of the head, but Kaminari hit Black Star with a headbutt to the back of the head. This allowed Kaminari to hit Black Star with a German Suplex, but he wasn't done as he put Black Star on his knees before running the ropes and hitting a Running Basement Dropkick to the side of the head.

"Kaminari absolutely dominating Black Star here. Natsu, what are you getting out of the match here so far?" Beth asked as Kaminari playfully kicked the side of Black Star's head before running the ropes when Black Star got back on all fours, and knocked him back down with a Fameasser. The crowd continued booing as Kaminari pressed his boot on the back of Black Star's head and shot both his fists up while telling the crowd that they were looking at the next BTWF Champion.

"I'm not going to deny that Kaminari is a great wrestler, and I am going to have some trouble with him at StarShow, but I'm confident that I'm still going to be the BTWF Champion by the time StarShow ends," Natsu explained as Black Star pushed Kaminari's foot off of him, the crowd cheering as Black Star started kicking Kaminari in the side of the leg before picking himself back up and attempting to hit him with a kick to the side of the head, but Kaminari dodged and pushed him into the ropes. When Black Star rebounded, Kaminari hit a rebounding Black Star with a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker but rather than throw him down, Kaminari picked him back up and hit him with a quick Brainbuster before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"I admire the confidence, Natsu, but Kaminari's confidence has also had a huge boost since aligning with Tim Scam. Plus, Kaminari has never held a singles title in the BTWF, and with his hunger for the BTWF Championship, he could be almost impossible to stop," Okabe countered as Kaminari looked annoyed as he picked Black Star back up, and hit him with several Knife-Edge Chops to the chest, sending him staggering into the ropes. The crowd continued booing as Kaminari ran the ropes, and hit Black Star with a Running Knee Strike to the chest before picking him up in a Fireman's Carry, dropping him with a Single Knee Gutbuster, and hitting him with a Running Knee Strike to the side of the head, sending Black Star's head falling into the middle rope.

"Kaminari's knees are also no joke! He probably knocked a couple of teeth out of Black Star's mouth!" Beth exclaimed as Kaminari ran the ropes, and hit a Running Jumping Double Stomp to Black Star's back, sending him collapsing onto his knees. The crowd continued booing as Kaminari presented a Black Star that was writhing in agony to Natsu, telling him to take some notes. Kaminari then picked Black Star back up, hit him with a Powerbomb, grabbed both legs and locked him in a Cloverleaf, pressing his knee straight into the middle of Black Star's spine.

"Kaminari has the submission locked in! Black Star's in the middle of the ring too! This could be it!" Nigel exclaimed as Black Star attempted to push Kaminari's knee off of his back, but Kaminari shook his head and continued pulling back as much as he could. Black Star yelled out in pain but refused to give up as he began to make his way to the ropes, his arm outstretched so that he could reach out for a ropebreak. Kaminari glared down at Black Star, especially when the crowd began chanting and cheering for Black Star, and continued hitting him with several forearms to the back of the head.

"Black Star is trying to reach for the ropes, and Kaminari is desperately trying to stop that from happening!" Nigel exclaimed as Black Star continued making his way to the ropes, the crowd cheering louder as he was able to grab the middle rope, forcing the referee to break the hold. Kaminari looked furious that his submission had failed and responded by stomping on Black Star's back, picking him up, and attempting to hit him with a Powerbomb into the corner. However, the crowd cheered as Black Star countered the Corner Powerbomb by sending Kaminari into the corner with a Hurricanrana, sending Kaminari crumpling into the corner while holding his back.

"Black Star is finally able to slow Kaminari down, sending him crashing into the corner with that awesome Hurricanrana!" Beth exclaimed as Black Star picked himself back up to his feet while holding his back in pain. As Scam started pounding on the ring apron to get Kaminari back into the things, the crowd cheered as Black Star went into the corner and started stomping on Kaminari's chest and midsection multiple times before jumping onto the middle rope. Black Star continued the attack by punching Kaminari in the side of the head before throwing him out of the corner with a Monkey Flip. Black Star then leaned into the corner while stretching his back, and when Kaminari got back up, he exploded out of the corner with a Running Crossbody.

"Black Star's back may be giving him some trouble, but if there is one thing you can say about Black Star, it's that he will fight through the pain to try and get the victory," Okabe explained as Black Star rolled off of Kaminari. When Kaminari got back to his feet, Black Star hit him with two Clotheslines, a Spinning Wheel Kick, an Enziguri, a Flapjack, and a Reverse Atomic Drop before springboarding off the middle rope and hitting Kaminari with a Springboard Middle Rope Bulldog. The crowd continued cheering as Black Star continued the onslaught, running the ropes, and hitting a Jumping Senton across Kaminari's chest before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

"I have to respect Black Star's ability to grit his teeth and smile through the pain. Reminds me of me. Black Star's definitely got top star material written all over him," Natsu complimented as Black Star attempted to hit Kaminari with the Insult to Injury, but Kaminari was able to move. Before Black Star could get off his knees, Kaminari grabbed both his arm and attempted to lock him in position for the AfterShock DDT (Drew McIntyre's Future Shock DDT), but Black Star pushed Kaminari into the corner. Black Star then ran the ropes and attempted to hit him with a Corner Spinning Wheel Kick, but Kaminari was able to catch Black Star in mid-air and hit him with a Backbreaker.

"Nice catch by Kaminari! I have to say he's showing some impressive strength in this match, and that's something you're going to have to fight at StarShow!" Nigel exclaimed as Kaminari ran into the corner, and waited for Black Star to get back to his feet. When he did, Kaminari attempted to hit Black Star with the Surge (Drew McIntyre's Claymore Kick), but the crowd cheered as Black Star dodged, sending Kaminari crashing onto the canvas back first. Black Star attempted to hit another Running Senton onto Kaminari, but he was able to dodge as well, and attempted to hit Black Star with the AfterShock DDT (Future Shock DDT), but Black Star was able to counter with a Northern Lights Suplex bridged into a pin.

Ref: 1…2…

"Black Star almost stole the match there! Imagine what that would've done for Kaminari's momentum heading into StarShow!" Okabe exclaimed as Black Star put Kaminari in a seated position, and hit him in the side of the face with a Superkick. The crowd continued cheering as Black Star began climbing up to the top rope, and attempted to hit him with the Falling Star (Alexa Bliss' Twisted Bliss), but Kaminari was able to dodge. However, when Black Star had rolled onto his feet just as Kaminari had gotten back onto his, and took him back down with a Superkick.

"Black Star with another Superkick right to the jaw! Kaminari could be knocked out cold!" Beth exclaimed as Black Star hit Kaminari in the chest with a Standing Double Knee Drop followed by a Standing Moonsault into another Double Knee Drop. Black Star then climbed back up to the top rope and attempted to hit him with the Falling Star (Alexa Bliss' Twisted Bliss) again, but the crowd booed as Kaminari raised his knees up, sending Black Star crashing into Kaminari's knees chest first. Kaminari then staggered over into the corner, and when Kaminari got back to his feet, he turned Black Star inside out with the Surge (Drew McIntyre's Claymore Kick).

"I have to give Kaminari this; he's got really good resiliency. It's going to take a lot in my arsenal to put him away," Natsu explained before Kaminari picked Black Star back up, finally hit him with the AfterShock DDT (Drew McIntyre's Future Shock DDT), and went for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…3

*Bell Rings*

"Here is your winner, Denki Kaminari!" Mary Hughes announced, the crowd continuing to boo as Scam slid into the ring, pushed the referee out of the way, and raised Kaminari's arm in victory. The crowd continued booing as Kaminari kicked dust behind him and onto Black Star, and hugged Scam, the two bragging about how Kaminari was going to become the next BTWF Champion. Kaminari then let go of Scam, walked over to the side of the ring, leaned over the rope, and spat at Natsu, the crowd booing louder as Kaminari told Natsu that his time was up.

"Kaminari winning the match here, but still feels the need to rub it in Natsu's face!" Beth exclaimed in annoyance as Natsu wiped the spit off of his face. The crowd cheered as Natsu threw the BTWF Championship down onto the ground and took his headset off. Kaminari smirked as he openly told Natsu to come into the ring, saying that he was just going to kick his ass anyway. Natsu nodded before sliding into the ring, the crowd cheering loudly as the two began brawling, punching each other in the chest and the face. Natsu pushed Kaminari into the corner and continued to brawl with Kaminari, but the crowd booed as Scam grabbed Natsu by the arm and pulled him off.

"Scam trying to save his meal ticket! But he should know better than to get involved in the BTWF Champion's battles!" Nigel exclaimed as Natsu punched Scam in the side of the face. However, the crowd booed as Kaminari hit Natsu in the back of the head with the Surge (Drew McIntyre's Claymore Kick). The crowd continued booing as Kaminari mounted Natsu, and hit him with multiple punches to the side of the head before picking himself up, and throwing him out of the ring and onto the floor. Kaminari then helped Scam back to his feet before following Natsu out of the ring and began stomping on him before going over to the fallen BTWF Championship.

"This is a flashback to what happened last week, with Kaminari standing tall over the BTWF Champion!" Okabe exclaimed as Kaminari grabbed Natsu by the hair, pushed the BTWF Championship into his face, and yelled at Natsu that he was never going to have this championship around his waist again before pushing him back down, putting the championship down, and began taking the cover of the commentary table and the monitors off the table. Kaminari then grabbed Natsu by the hair and attempted to hit him onto the table, but the crowd cheered as Natsu kicked Kaminari in the side of the head.

"You might not want to count your chickens before they hatch, Okabe!" Beth exclaimed in excitement as Natsu grabbed his BTWF Championship and smashed it into the side of Kaminari's head, sending him falling onto the top of the table. Scam ran back up to Natsu, attempting to push him away from Kaminari, but the crowd cheered again as Natsu hit Scam with a Superkick, put Scam in a Fireman's Carry, and threw him down onto Kaminari with an Attitude Adjustment. Natsu then looked up at the top turnbuckle, smirked at the cheering crowd, and slid back into the ring, climbing up to the top rope, gave the crowd the 'Dra-gon-eel' taunt before hitting sending both Kaminari and Scam with the Five Star Dragon Splash (Rob Van Dam's Five Star Frog Splash).

"Oh my God! Natsu just sent the #1 contender for his championship and his manager through our commentary table!" Nigel exclaimed as Natsu rolled back up to his feet, grabbed his BTWF Championship, slid back into the ring, and jumped up to the top turnbuckle. The crowd exploded into cheers and chanted for Natsu as he raised the BTWF Championship over his head, the crowd's cheers somehow growing louder as he did the 'Dra-gon-eel' chant along with the crowd. The camera panned to the remnants of the commentary table, where medical personnel were checking on both Scam and Kaminari as Natsu continued his celebration.

"Natsu may be standing tall tonight, but can he do the same at StarShow, and keep his BTWF Championship!?" Okabe exclaimed as the camera panned to the backstage interview area, where the Zenin Sisters (Maki & Mai Z.) along with their manager Jim Cornette were on one side of the interview area, and Azula & the Cannonade (Ty Lee and Mai) were on the other side. The two teams glared at each other as Mirai Kuriyama stood in the middle of the two teams, nervous about the noticeable tension.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with two of the four teams that will be competing in the Fatal-4-Way #1 contenders match for the BTWF Women's Tag Team Championships. The last team, either Maka Albarn & Winry Rockbell or Louise Belcher & Lisa Simpson, will be decided on this upcoming episode of Intensity. Do you have anything to say about this upcoming match or your potential future opponents?" Mirai asked. Cornette smirked before grabbing the microphone and looking at his team with a proud smile on his face.

"Mirai, I'm going to say right now, that it doesn't matter who becomes the last team in the match, the result is going to stay the same; the best women's tag team in the best women's tag team division in all of Fanfiction Wrestling, Maki & Mai Z., the Zenin Sisters," Cornette complimented, with Maki and Mai Z. smiling at the praise. Azula rolled her eyes, and Mai looked like she was holding Ty Lee back from actually going after Cornette, but this didn't stop her from continuing.

"Maki, Mai Z., and myself have the same goal for when it comes to wrestling; bring wrestling back to what it used to be, and that's a sport. None of the other teams in the BTWF can bring wrestling back to what it used to be. And at StarShow, Maki and Mai Z. becoming the #1 contenders for the BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions is only the start," Cornette explained. However, Azula used her good arm to grab the microphone out of Cornette's hand so that she could say her piece.

"Cornette, you sound just as delusional in person as you do on your terrible podcasts. You're looking at the winners of the #1 contenders match. Ty Lee and Mai are trained to be elite warriors and have the best chemistry of any team in the BTWF, and that includes Maki and Mai Z.," Azula countered. Cornette looked furious at the insult but didn't do anything about it as Ty Lee looked ready to pounce.

"And yes, my arm may not be at 100%, but even at a measly 10%, I could still kick your ass and stop you from interfering. Not only that, but I could take on your little team with no effort at all! Trust me, Cornette, nobody is scared of the Zenin Sisters, and at StarShow, the fans will realize who the real threat of the BTWF Women's Tag Team Division is, and that's the Cannonade!" Azula exclaimed as Mai Z. walked up to her and slapped her in the side of the face. Azula staggered back, and Ty Lee finally snapped and began brawling with Mai Z., with Maki and Mai joining in on the brawl. Cornette and Azula tried to separate their respective duos, with Azula and Cornette yelling that they should make sure they save their health for StarShow.

The camera then panned back to the stage, where the lights went down, the crowd booing as 'Ladies and Gentlemen' by Saliva played. A spotlight appeared on the center of the stage, where Akira Hayami appeared from the back, raising her arms out in the air while basking in her own glory. After a moment, Akira began walking down the entranceway, with the spotlight continuing to follow her, the crowd continuing to boo as Akira closed her eyes, smiling as if the crowd weren't booing her.

"The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall! Making her way to the ring, from the Asahi Ward in Yokohama, Japan, she is 'The Spotlight' Akira Hayami!" Mary Hughes announced, the crowd continuing to boo as Akira walked to the ringside area. While Akira continued basking in her own glory, her spotlight turned blood red, causing Akira to turn and glare at the stage, where 'Amen' by Bring Me the Horizon (feat. Daryl Palumbo and Lil Uzi Vert) played. The crowd continued booing as Sherry came walking out with the BTWF World Women's Championship hugged close to her chest with Medusa following her out.

"And her partner, representing the Sisterhood of Darkness and accompanied to the ring by Medusa Gorgon, from Galuna Island, she is the BTWF World Women's Champion, Sherry Blendy!" Mary Hughes announced with Sherry glaring at an irate and annoyed Akira, with Medusa whispering something into Sherry's ear. Akira told Sherry that she was only days away from losing the BTWF World Women's Championship, which made Sherry shake and growl in anger, causing Medusa to once again get in the middle, yelling at Akira to get into the ring and focus on their opponents.

"Sherry and Akira aren't getting along already, and we're going to see this explode in one way or another!" Nigel exclaimed as Sherry slid into the ring, gave the championship to Medusa, and crawled to the center of the ring, glaring at the booing fans. Akira then walked in front of Sherry and outstretched her arms, causing Sherry to jump back up to her feet and glare at Akira before walking to the corner. The camera then panned back to the stage, where 'Say Cheese' by Poppy began playing, the crowd exploding into cheers as Sam Simpson came stomping down from the back, her hoodie on over her head despite her hands running through her hair.

"And introducing their opponents first, from Beverly Hills California, Sam Simpson!" Mary Hughes announced, the crowd continuing to cheer as Sam took her hoodie off, revealing her newly-shortened hair before screaming out of the top of her lungs. Sam began stomping to the ring, giving a few fans in the front row a high-five, though she focused more on the ring. Sam looked around the arena, possibly looking for Clover, but always kept an eye on the ring, mainly the BTWF World Women's Championship that Medusa was holding.

"One of Sam's main goals since coming back to the BTWF was to become the BTWF World Women's Champion. She has that opportunity at StarShow, much to the chagrin of her former Totally Spies partner, Clover!" Nigel exclaimed as Sam ran to the ringside area, and then ran up the steel steps before jumping up to the top turnbuckle. The crowd continued cheering as Sam took her ring jacket off, throwing it to the ground, and letting out another scream before jumping down and rolling over to the center of the ring.

"Sam has been trying to ignore Clover's constant complaining and ranting, and she's going to have to if she wants to have a better chance at the BTWF World Women's Championship at StarShow!" Beth exclaimed as Sam was pushed away from her opponents by the referee. While Sam continued to glare at Sherry and Akira, the lights in the arena turned light blue, the crowd continuing to cheer as 'Shatter Me' by Lindsey Sterling (Feat. Lzzy Hale) played, revealing Rei Ayanami. Rei, in her light and dark blue robe, came out of the back with a calm and focused look on her face.

"And her partner, from Tokyo Japan, she is 'the Shining Ace' Rei Ayanami!" Mary Hughes announced, the crowd continuing to cheer as Rei turned around, with pyro shooting out of the stage. As the pyro went off, Rei began her walk to the ring, nodding at the cheering fans while maintaining her focus on Sherry and Akira. Rei nodded in acknowledgment at the cheering fans while continuing to make her way to the ring, and when she made it to the ringside area, Rei took her blue robe off, put it on the floor, and cartwheeled to the steel steps before running up the steps and jumping up to the top rope.

"Rei has been screwed over by the Sisterhood several times, which resulted in Sherry taking the BTWF World Women's Championship from her at Christmas Chaos! She's hoping StarShow is the place where she can finally regain the championship she's held with such pride!" Okabe exclaimed as Rei jumped down from the top rope, and shook Sam's hand, the crowd cheering as the two went over battle strategy as the referee made sure both women were ready. The referee then told the timekeeper to ring the bell, the crowd cheering as Rei and Sherry stayed in the ring, starting out the match.

"Our main event is now underway! Who will walk into BTWF StarShow with all the momentum!?" Nigel asked as Sherry and Rei walked up to each other in the center of the ring, with Sherry screaming in Rei's face that she would never get her BTWF World Women's Championship back and that it was going to stay in the Sisterhood of Darkness. Rei continued staring at Sherry with an icy glare, and Sherry responded by attempting to punch Rei in the face. The crowd cheered as Rei rolled out of the way, turned Sherry around, and hit her with several punches to the side of the face before throwing her into the corner. Rei ran into the corner, and Sherry attempted to counter with a Pendulum Kick, but the crowd cheered as Rei blocked the kick, pushed Sherry into a seated position on the ropes, and hit her with a Rope Hung Backstabber, sending her rolling back into the ring.

"Rei starting this match off hot, that counter to the Pendulum Kick showing just how much she's learned from her previous encounters with the leader of the Sisterhood of Darkness!" Okabe exclaimed as Rei picked Sherry back up to her feet, and hit her with several European Uppercuts before throwing her down with a Fireman's Carry. Rei then ran the ropes, tagged Sam back into the match, and hit her with a Cartwheel Standing Moonsault. Sam came into the ring and springboarded into the ring with a Springboard Double Foot Stomp to the chest. The crowd continued cheering as Sam grabbed Sherry by the hair, throwing her into the corner, and hitting her with several hard Knife-Edge Chops into the corner.

"Sam almost caving in Sherry's chest with those hard chops! They hurt me just watching them!" Beth exclaimed as Sam attempted to Irish whip Sherry out of the corner, but Sherry was able to hold onto the top rope. Sam attempted to throw her out of the corner again, but Sherry hit Sam with a Spin Kick to the gut, the crowd booing as Sherry hit Sam with a couple more kicks to the sides of her legs before knocking her on her knees with a hard punch to the side of the head. Sherry kicked Sam in the chest a couple of times before picking her back up and attempting to put her in position for the Darkness Falls (Killswitch).

"Sherry trying to put an end to this match early, so she can arrive at the PPV as fresh as possible!" Nigel exclaimed as Sam pushed her away and into the ropes. Akira tagged herself in as Sherry rebounded, and when Sherry ducked a Clothesline attempt by Sam to try and hit one of her own, Sam was able to counter with a Snap Powerslam. However, when Sam turned around, she got knocked down with a Standing Lariat by Akira, much to the crowd's chagrin. Akira then picked Sam up and rammed her back first into the corner before ramming her shoulder into Sam's gut with multiple Shoulder Thrusts. Akira then ran the ropes, attempting to hit Sam with a Running Shoulder Thrust, but Sam was able to hit Akira in the face with a Knee Life, stunning her enough to allow Sam to begin hitting Akira in the chest with multiple Knife-Edge Chops.

"Sam has a never-say-die attitude! She knows how finite her career is and isn't going to let anyone else dictate how her career goes!" Okabe exclaimed as Sam attempted to Irish whip Akira into the corner, but Akira responded by throwing Sam into the corner. Sam grabbed the top rope, put both of her legs around Akira's neck, and threw her to the other side of the ring with a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors. The crowd continued cheering as Sam hit Akira in the side of the head with several Forearms before tagging Rei back into the match. Sam and Rei hit Akira in the face with a Double Dropkick, the crowd continuing to cheer as Rei and Sam also knocked Sherry off of the ring apron with a Running Double Dropkick.

"Sam and Rei are working surprisingly well together despite knowing that they're going to be on opposite sides at StarShow!" Okabe exclaimed as Akira attempted to knock both Rei and Sam down with a Double Clothesline, but both women dodged the Double Clothesline attempt. The crowd continued cheering as Rei hit Akira with a side kick to the side of the head, Sam hit an Enziguri to Akira with enough force to send her falling onto one knee, and Rei ran the ropes to hit a Running Basement Dropkick to Akira's face, knocking her down, and Sam finished off the sequence by hitting Akira with a Jumping Rolling Leg Drop across the throat. Sam then ran the ropes and sent Sherry crashing back onto the floor with a Suicide Dive before Rei springboarded off the middle rope to hit Akira with a Moonsault before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

"I'm not gonna lie, I wouldn't be against Rei and Sam challenging for the BTWF Women's Tag Team Championships down the road," Beth admitted as Rei picked Akira back up again, attempting to pick her up for the Snap Brainbuster, but Akira was able to knee several times on the top of the head, causing Rei to stagger into the corner while still holding her up. Sam rushed back to her corner as Akira slipped out of Rei's grasp, and hit her with several hard forearms to the face before Sam tagged herself back into the match. Akira attempted to knock Sam off the apron, but Sam dodged the strike attempt and sent Akira staggering with a kick before springboarding back into the ring, hitting Akira in the side of the face with a Springboard Dropkick.

"Sam almost sent Akira's jaw into the crowd with that Springboard Dropkick!" Nigel exclaimed as the crowd cheered as Sam let out a loud scream before attempting to hit Akira with a Running Big Boot to a grounded Akira, which Akira ducked. This allowed Akira to get back up to her feet, and grab Sam in a Waistlock, attempting to hit her with a German Suplex, but the crowd cheered as Sam fought back with multiple Back Elbows to the side of the head. However, Akira turned herself around, allowing an irate Sherry to tag herself in, the crowd booing as Sherry hit Sam with several head headbutts to the face, allowing Akira to hit Sam with a German Suplex.

"Sherry getting vicious with those headbutts, the referee may want to check on Sam," Beth said worriedly as Sam clutched her neck in pain. The crowd continued booing as Sherry pressed her foot against the back of Sam's neck, telling the crowd that neither Sam nor Rei were going to take her BTWF World Women's Championship from the Sisterhood. Sherry then hit a Jumping Leg Drop across the back of Sam's head. The crowd continued booing as Sherry mounted Sam, and hit her with multiple punches and forearms to the side of the head, only stopping once the referee pulled an irate Sherry off of her.

"Sherry's desperation and her paranoia getting to her. She needs to be careful or else she's going to get DQ'ed before her big title match in just a couple of nights!" Nigel exclaimed as Sherry picked Sam up, and clubbed her in the back multiple times before throwing her into her corner. The crowd booed as Sherry ran into the corner, hitting a Running Corner Big Boot to the side of the head before tagging Akira into the match. The crowd continued booing as Sherry choked Sam with her boot, allowing Akira to run the ropes and hit a Running Shoulder Thrust onto Sam.

"Sherry and Sam beginning to show some chemistry together as a tag team, which is surprising considering that they didn't seem to be getting along before the match started," Okabe explained as Akira threw Sam out of the corner with an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex as Sherry got back onto the apron. The crowd continued booing as Akira stomped on Sam's back and the back of her head before picking Sam back up and kneeing her in the gut hard enough to send her staggering to the ropes. Akira then Irish whipped Sam, and when she rebounded, Akira hit her with a Powerslam, deadlifted her back up, hit her with a couple of Backbreakers, and threw her down with a Swinging Side Slam before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

"Akira showing off the power advantage she has over all the other competitors in the BTWF World Women's Championship Fatal-4-Way at StarShow!" Nigel exclaimed as Akira ran the ropes, and hit a Jumping Elbow Drop across Sam's chest. The crowd continued booing as Akira picked Sam back up, and hit her with a Back Suplex before running the ropes and hitting her with a Grounded Sliding Clothesline. Akira outstretched her arms and told the crowd that was why she was the Spotlight, the crowd booing as Sherry tagged herself into the match, much to Akira's chagrin.

"Well, so much for them working together. Sherry just caught Akira off-guard with that tag!" Beth exclaimed as Sherry ran over to Sam and stomped on her back and face before picking her up and hitting her with a Scoop Slam. Sherry then put Sam in a seated position and kneed her in the back and the back of the neck several times before running the ropes and hitting a Running Basement Dropkick to the back of her head. The crowd continued booing as Sherry began cranking Sam's neck, Sherry cackling at the screams of pain Sam let out while trying to push her off.

"Sherry targeting the surgically repaired neck of Sam, cranking it as far to the side as she can!" Okabe exclaimed as Sam attempted to push Sherry away from her, but the crowd booed louder as Sherry rammed her knee into the side of Sam's head several times before continuing to crank her neck. The crowd began cheering again as Sam began pulling herself back up to her feet, and began punching Sherry in the gut. Sherry attempted to maintain her grip on her neck, but the crowd continued cheering as Sam continued to punch Sherry, finally being able to push her away. Sam attempted to hit Sherry with a High Head Kick, but Sherry ducked and knocked Sam back down with a Reverse DDT.

"Sam almost escaped, but Sherry put her back down to the mat with a Reverse DDT!" Beth exclaimed as Sherry put Sam in a Grounded Headscissors before tagging Akira back into the match. Sherry continued choking Sam out with her legs before Akira ran the ropes and hit another Jumping Elbow Drop across Sam's chest. The crowd continued booing as Akira deadlifted Sam up, and hit her with a German Suplex, the crowd continued booing as Akira didn't let go of Sam and hit her with a couple more German Suplexes before bridging into a pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"Multiple German Suplexes right on the injured neck of Sam! How she kicked out of that is…a wonder to me!" Nigel exclaimed as Akira grabbed Sam by the hair, and hit her with multiple forearms to the back of the head. Sam attempted to reach for the ropes, but Akira turned her around and threw her halfway across the ring with a Falcon Arrow throw. The crowd continued booing as Akira walked over to Sherry, and told her that she was going to become the BTWF Champion, and Sherry responded by tagging Akira's shoulder, tagging herself back into the match before going into the corner, and waiting for Sam to get back to her feet. When Sam staggered back to her feet, Sherry attempted to take her down with a Spear, but Sam was able to jump out of the way, sending Sherry into the corner.

"Sam is able to dodge the Spear! But the damage done to her neck is still too much! Can she make it to her corner!?" Beth asked as Sam staggered over to her corner, but Sherry ran out of the corner, grabbed Sam by the hair, and attempted to hit her with another Reverse DDT, but Sam responded by grabbing Sherry's head and hitting her with several knees to the face. Sam continued trying to make her way to her corner, but Sherry kicked her in the back of the leg and hit her with a Reverse Suplex. The crowd booed as Sherry climbed up to the top rope, but the crowd went back to cheering as Sam, while still on the ground, kicked the top rope a couple of times, sending Sherry falling onto the top turnbuckle crotch first. The crowd exploded into cheers as Sam jumped into her corner, and tagged Rei back into the match.

"The Shining Ac is back in the match, and with Sherry prone on the top rope, she's got a clear path to victory!" Nigel exclaimed as Rei jumped up to the top turnbuckle, and threw Sherry off the top with an Avalanche Spanish Fly. The crowd continued cheering as Rei knocked Akira off the apron with a Running Forearm to the side of the head, but she wasn't done as she jumped up onto the top rope and took Akira down with a Springboard Triangle Moonsault. Rei then climbed back up to the top rope, and when she noticed that Sherry was staggering back up to her feet, Rei dived off of the top rope with a Diving Crossbody before rolling into a pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"Rei flying all over the ring, showing that she's ready for StarShow and the challenges of a Fatal-4-Way!" Okabe exclaimed as Rei raised both her hands in the air, the crowd cheering as she waited for Sherry to get back up to her feet. When she did, Rei hit Sherry with two Clotheslines, a Running Hurricanrana, a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker, and a Swinging Neckbreaker. The crowd cheered as Rei went into the corner, and outstretched her arms before running out of the corner, hitting a Running Knee Drop across the top of Sherry's head, and running the ropes again to hit a now seated Sherry with a Basement Dropkick.

"Rei not letting up, and making sure Sherry doesn't have the time to confer with BTWF Hall of Famer Medusa Gorgon!" Nigel exclaimed as Rei picked Sherry back up to her feet, and hit Sherry with a Snap Vertical Suplex. The crowd continued cheering as Rei rolled back to her feet while still having Sherry in the Suplex position, hitting Sherry with another Snap Vertical Suplex. However, when Rei attempted this a third time, Sherry was able to stop herself from going up and punched Rei in the gut several times before sending her face smashing against her knee. The crowd began booing as Sherry ran the ropes, and hit Rei with an STO Backbreaker before standing her back up and slinking into the corner.

"Sherry looks like she's hurt, but she wants to make sure that she hurts Rei as well before StarShow!" Beth exclaimed before Sherry ran out of the corner, sending Rei back down with a Spear before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

Sherry looked furious that she didn't get the victory there, and started stomping and kicking at a downed Rei before climbing back up to the top rope, attempting to hit Rei with a Frog Splash. Rei moved out of the way, but Sherry was able to roll back to her feet and attempted to hit Rei with another Spear, but the crowd exploded into cheers as Rei was able to catch her, and hit her with a Snap Brainbuster before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

The crowd booed as Akira came back into the ring, hitting a Running Elbow Strike to the back before mounting Rei, and punching her in the back of the head.

"Thanks to Akira, this match continues on! And it looks like she's still upset about being taken off the apron earlier!" Nigel exclaimed as Akira picked Rei up, and attempted to hit her with the Spotlighter (F-5), but Rei was able to land on her feet and stun Akira with an Enziguri to the side of the head. Rei then Clotheslined Akira over the top rope, sending her back onto the apron before noticing that Sherry had made it to the corner, and attempting to hit her with a Running Corner Forearm. However, Sherry was able to respond with her Pendulum Kick, sending Rei staggering away from the corner before Sherry jumped up to the middle turnbuckle, hitting Rei with a Diving Middle Rope Uppercut.

"Sherry taking Rei down once again with a Diving Uppercut! Sherry is someone you wouldn't expect to be as athletic as she is, but that's one of the reasons why she's such a difficult opponent to game plan for; you never know what she's going to pull out of her arsenal!" Okabe exclaimed as Sherry immediately climbed back up to the top turnbuckle, licked her lips, and hit Rei with a Frog Splash before going for the pin, hooking both of her legs back.

Ref: 1…2…

The crowd cheered again as Sam broke up the pin with a Running Stomp to the back, and when Sam attempted to throw Sherry away from Rei, the two exchanged punches with each other, the crowd cheering and booing accordingly.

"Sam and Sherry now getting into it in the middle of the ring! This match has been pure chaos thanks to all the combustible elements in this ring!" Nigel exclaimed as Sam won the brawl in the ring, but Akira immediately rushed into the ring and turned Sam inside out with a Spear. Akira then threw Sherry into her corner, went back onto the apron, and tagged herself back into the match, the crowd booing as Akira rushed to where Rei was lying, and hit her with the Triple Rolling German Suplexes. Akira didn't stop, as she picked Rei back up, and hit her with two straight Powerbombs before putting her down with a Sit-Out Powerbomb and pinning her.

Ref: 1…2…

"After all those Suplexes and Powerbombs, Rei is still in the match, but for how much longer!?" Nigel exclaimed as Akira grabbed Rei by the hair, and attempted to hit her with the Spotlighter (F-5). However, Rei responded by hitting Akira with several Back Elbows to the side of the head before escaping Akira's grip and attempting to hit her with a Running Clothesline. However, the crowd went back to booing as Akira threw Rei down with a Scoop Powerslam before attempting to lock her in the Akira Lock (Over the Shoulder Single Leg Boston Crab). However, Rei kicked Akira in the face several times before attempting to make it to the corner for a tag, but Akira maintained a hold of her leg and locked her in an Ankle Lock.

"Rei's locked in the Ankle Lock! She's so close to tagging Sam back into the match! Can she make it before she has to tap!?" Beth asked as Rei continued crawling to her corner, with Sam ready to make the tag. Akira attempted to pull her away from Sam, but Rei turned around and kicked Akira in the nose several more times before quickly turning around, and tagging Sam back into the match. The crowd continued cheering as Sam ran into the ring, and hit Akira with two Clotheslines, and multiple kicks to the legs and chest, before sending Akira staggering with a kick to the side of the head. Sam then ran at Akira and hit her with the Float Over DDT before rolling into a pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"Sam planting Akira with the Float Over DDT! And though Akira kicked out, her eyes are partially glazed over!" Okabe exclaimed as Sam picked Akira back up, and hit her with multiple Forearms before hitting her with a Saito Suplex. The crowd continued cheering as Sam threw Akira into the corner, ran the ropes, and hit her with a Running Cyclone Corner Bicycle Kick before throwing her out of the corner, jumping up to the middle rope, and hitting Akira with a Diving Middle Rope Bulldog. The crowd continued cheering as Sam springboarded off the middle rope to hit a Springboard Moonsault off Akira's chest before immediately getting up to knock Sherry off the apron with a Superkick.

"Sam hasn't lost a single step in the ring. You wouldn't think that this woman had been off on injury leave for 6-7 months!" Nigel exclaimed as Sam ran at a now-standing Akira, hitting her with a Sling Blade. The referee went to check on Akira while Sam pulled herself back onto her feet by the ropes, but the crowd exploded into boos as 'the French Phenom' Clover Lamoreaux and Jerry Lewis ran down to the ringside area. Clover hit Sam in the side of the face with brass knuckles while her head was draped over the middle rope, sending her staggering to the middle of the ring.

"Clover just knocked Sam out with those damn brass knuckles! What a bitch!" Beth exclaimed angrily as Akira picked a dazed Sam up, and hit her with the Spotlighter (F-5) before going for the pinfall, hooking both of her legs back.

Ref: 1…2…

The crowd cheered as Rei hit a Moonsault from the top rope and onto Akira, breaking up the pin and sending her rolling to the other side of the ring.

"This match has been absolutely crazy! Even Clover looks shocked at what the hell is going on in the ring!" Nigel exclaimed as Akira rolled to her corner, and attempted to tag Sherry back into the match, but the crowd exploded into boos as Sherry jumped off the apron. Medusa handed Sherry her BTWF World Women's Championship and the two began walking away from the ring. Akira began standing up and screaming at Sherry that she was going to pay for doing this before picking Sam up and attempting to hit her with another Spotlighter (F-5). However, the crowd cheered as Sam countered by hitting Akira with a Tilt-a-Whirl DDT before going into her corner to tag Rei back into the match. Rei jumped off the top turnbuckle, hitting Akira with a Light from Above (Frog Splash) before going for the pinfall, hooking both her legs back.

*Bell Rings*

"Here are your winners, the team of 'The Shining Ace' Rei Ayanami and Sam Simpson!" Mary Hughes announced as Rei jumped up to the top turnbuckle, outstretching her arms to celebrate her victory. However, the crowd booed as most of the Sisterhood of Darkness (Flare Corona, Himiko Toga, Tina Belcher, and Frederica Sawyer) ran into the ring and began beating Rei down. Sam, rather than helping Rei, immediately jumped down from the apron and began brawling with Clover, the two former Totally Spies members exchanging punches with each other.

"Rei and Sam got the victory here today, but they are not done fighting! Sam going after Clover for that brass knuckles shot and Rei's getting beaten down by the Sisterhood!" Okabe exclaimed as while Rei attempted to fight back, the crowd beginning to cheer when BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions Ultear Milkovich and Tomoko Kuroki of the Sisterhood of Darkness came out of the back, brawling with Zero Gravity ('The Woman That Gravity Forgot' Zia Simpson, Ochako Uraraka, and Zoey Hanson). Zero Gravity originally had the upper hand due to the numbers game, but BTWF World Women's Champion Sherry Blendy joined the brawl, beginning to club on Zia's back.

"There's chaos all over the arena! These women are all looking for their StarShow moments! The cameraman is having trouble keeping up with all this action!" Nigel exclaimed as while Rei was getting beaten down in the ring, the crowd gave a mixed reaction when Akira got back to her feet, and joined in on the brawl with the Sisterhood in the ring, tackling Tina, and throwing Himiko down with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex. Rei and Akira continued brawling with the Sisterhood members in the ring while Xochi walked out of the back with her arms folded and an annoyed look on her face.

"Well there's Xochi, and she doesn't look like she's amused at what the Sisterhood are doing right now!" Beth exclaimed as while Xochi shook her head in disappointment, Sam slammed Clover's face into the mini-Tron's LED board multiple times. Jerry grabbed Sam by the waist and pulled her away from Clover, which Sam responded to by hitting multiple back elbows to the side of his head. However, this allowed Clover to get some of her bearings back and hit Sam with some hard strikes to the head.

"Where the hell are security!? We've got almost half of our Women's Division and all our women's champions brawling in and around the ring!" Nigel asked as Xochi gave Sherry one last glare while Sherry was still brawling with Zia before walking back to the locker room. After another moment of brawling, multiple referees and security guards came running down, attempting to separate all the women from each other. Sam tried to keep herself on Clover by pulling on her hair, though Jerry was able to kick her hand away from Clover, allowing her to be taken away by security.

"The referees and security are going to be in for a long night, as these women are hell-bent on going after each other!" Beth exclaimed as referees pushed Ochako and Zoey away from Ultear and Tomoko, with Sherry and Zia rolling on the ground while exchanging punches with each other. The show soon faded to black as more security guards came into the ring to stop the Sisterhood from continuing their assaults on Rei and Akira.
