BTWF Intensity (October Week 2)
The camera panned to the commentary team of Matt Striker, Kotoko Iwanaga, and Bob Belcher looking at the camera with serious looks on their faces, as the crowd cheered and chanted 'BTWF!'
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another episode of the BTWF live from Sapporo Japan. Normally, we like to hype up the show to get you all excited, but before the show, something…horrible happened," Striker explained as Kotoko and Bob nodded in response.
"I…don't even know how this happened, but it did, and we're all upset about it," Bob explained as Kotoko took a deep breath before taking over.
"We wanted to show you all what happened hours before the show started," Kotoko stated as the camera panned to the TitanTron, where footage of Izuku Midoriya in the ring with Ochako Uraraka, Eri, and his mother, Inko Midoriya, where he gave all three of them bouquets of flowers.
"As you can see here, Midoriya is celebrating his return to Japan by giving flowers to his wife, adopted daughter, and mother," Bob narrated as the footage showed Corvus running into the ring and hitting Midoriya with a clothesline to the back of the head before he started stomping on his back.
"Corvus then ran into the ring while Ochako, Eri, and Midoriya's mother were still in the ring and you can see Midoriya's mother trying to stop him," Striker narrated as the footage showed Midoriya's mother grabbing on Corvus' shirt to try and pull him off. Corvus didn't seem to notice this as he was punching Midoriya in the face while Ochako kept Eri in the corner away from him. However, after a couple more times of Inko pulling Corvus' shirt, Corvus sprung up to his feet, and grabbed Inko by the front of her shirt, and started yelling at her.
"And…this is where things get bad," Kotoko narrated as Inko immediately fell to the ground, grabbing her chest as Corvus immediately let go of her as a couple of medical personnel came into the ring before Corvus ran out of the ring, running a hand through his hair as Midoriya ran over to his mother to check on her as the camera faded to black. The crowd booed as the camera panned back to the commentary team.
"Inko Midoriya was sent to a local hospital as she suffered a minor heart attack as a result of that…act by BTWF Hardcore Champion Pete Corvus," Striker explained before the camera panned back to the TitanTron, where Pete Corvus was being recorded live, causing the crowd to boo louder and chant 'Asshole!' at him.
"We have Pete available for comment, as he is on camera from an undisclosed location. Hello Pete," Kotoko greeted as Corvus nodded, patting the Hardcore Championship hung over his shoulder.
"Hi."
"Pete, we just want to know if you have any comment on what happened to Mrs. Midoriya," Bob explained as Corvus sighed before he started talking.
"Look, what I did in the ring had nothing to do with Midoriya's mom. I was giving Midoriya a receipt for disrespecting me last week. He thought he could come up to me and demand a championship match like I owe him anything," Pete explained as Kotoko spoke up.
"Yes, but why do what you did when Midoriya's family was in the ring?" Kotoko asked as Corvus sat up and glared at the camera he was recording on.
"I didn't plan on that happening! Midoriya was the one who decided to put his family in the middle of a wrestling ring! This isn't Take Your Family to Work Day, this is professional wrestling! If Midoriya hadn't been stupid enough to put his family in harm's way, then that fat bi—Mrs. Midoriya wouldn't have gotten hurt!" Corvus exclaimed, getting annoyed at the tone of the announcers.
"OK…last question; are you worried about any potential consequences for this?" Striker asked as Corvus rolled his eyes and chuckled before once again patting his Hardcore Championship.
"No I'm not worried, because not only am I the BTWF Hardcore champion, but none of this would've happened, again, if it wasn't for Midoriya," Corvus explained as the crowd continued to boo at him before Striker continued.
"But-"
"No! You said the interview was over, and I'm fucking leaving! I'm not going to be accused of shit I didn't do, especially when it wasn't my fault!" Corvus exclaimed before turning the camera off, causing Striker to sigh as the camera panned to the garage, where BTWF Women's Champion Lucy Heartfilia came out of a white limousine with her championship on her shoulder.
"I CANNOT believe I have to fight that lowly peasant Luna Collins for my BTWF Women's Championship! I don't care what she did before I put her on the shelf, her threats against me should have her kicked out of the company and away from MY championship!" Luna exclaimed, glaring right into the camera, not noticing that 'Amazing' Luna Collins snuck to the limousine, and used the keys that Lucy left on top of the limo to lock the doors, preventing the rest of the Conglomerate from getting out of the limo.
"And all these fans bother me out in the open and online, calling me a coward for not wanting to dignify that peasant with a title match, but I don't care what they think! I'm the BTWF World Women's Champion and I'm-" Lucy continued to rant before Luna ran up at her and kicked her right in the face.
"You're a dead woman!" Luna exclaimed before picking Lucy up and smashing her face into the front of the car as the Conglomerate tried to get out of the limousine. Security started running up to Luna as she continued punching Lucy in the face, busting her open as the security were trying to pull Luna off of Lucy. However, Luna was still able to stomp on Lucy's face as Tohru was finally able to unlock the limo from the inside, allowing the Conglomerate to get out of the limo and pull Lucy away.
"You won't get away from me at Trouble in Tokyo! You're fucking dead!" Luna screamed as she was being taken away from the referee. Patty and Liz carried Lucy to the trainer's room while Tohru and Onslaught flipped Luna off before the camera panned back to the stage, where 'This Fire Burns' by Killswitch Engage played, causing the crowd to cheer as Rally Vincent came running out of the back with Maka and Winry following her out of the back.
"The following contest is a six-woman tag team match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, the team of the 'Second City Shooter' Rally Vincent, Maka Albarn, and Winry Rockbell!" Tony Chimel announced as Maka and Winry sped walked to the ring with Maka pointing one finger up, and Winry pointing two fingers up. Rally then cocked an imaginary shotgun and then pretended to shoot it into the air, causing pyro to go off, causing the crowd to cheer louder.
"This six-woman tag team match was brought about by the aftermath of Lisa's Classroom last week," Striker explained as Rally ran to the ring while hi-fiving as many fans as she could before sliding into the ring and climbing up the turnbuckles. Maka and Winry then rolled into the ring after Rally and went to the ropes with their fingers up. Rally looked at Maka and Winry as she told the two to come closer before diving off the top rope to give her two partners a hi-five, causing the crowd to cheer louder.
"That's right Matt, and these six women are also looking to get momentum for possible title matches in the future," Bob pointed out as the Miz's 'Reality' theme song played, causing the crowd to boo as Juniper Lee came out with Lisa and Louise following her, both women mouthing off to the crowd as they continued to make their way to the ring.
"And their opponents, the team of Juniper Lee, Lisa Simpson, and Louise Belcher!" Tony Chimel announced as Juniper Lee smirked at a glaring Rally as she started mouthing off to her. Louise and Lisa started mouthing off to Maka and Winry, causing the crowd to boo louder as Juniper turned to the crowd and started yelling at them too.
"Juniper Lee, a former CWF Champion, made her debut at New Horizons, attacking Rally after her street fight against Madison," Kotoko explained as Rally, Maka, and Winry looked at each other, smiled, walked up to the ropes, and vaulted over them, hitting all three women on the outside with vaulting body presses, causing the crowd to cheer as Rally grabbed Lisa by the hair, and threw her back into the ring.
"It looks like Rally, Maka, and Winry don't want to wait until their opponents stopped talking to start this match!" Striker exclaimed as the referee rang the bell. The crowd cheered as Rally hit multiple punches to Lisa's face before hitting him with a spin kick to the gut and Irish whipping him into the ropes. Rally ran into the corner and hit Lisa with a running dropkick to the face before hitting Lisa with a snap suplex. Meanwhile, outside the ring, Juniper and Louise ran back to their corner, allowing Maka and Winry to get back onto the apron.
"It looks like the other four women in this match want to make sure their partners aren't alone in the ring," Kotoko explained as Rally wrung Lisa's arm and dragged her to her corner and tagged Maka into the match. The crowd cheered as Maka hit Lisa's arm with multiple chops before taking over the arm from Rally. While wringing the arm, Maka hit Lisa with multiple kicks to the chest before hitting her with an Arm Wring Kick to the face. The crowd cheered as Maka ran the ropes and hit a jumping knee drop onto Lisa's face before going for a pin.

"Lisa kicked out again, but Winry isn't about to let her off the hook that easily!" Bob exclaimed as Winry kicked Lisa in the back before attempting to hit her with a back suplex. However, the crowd booed as Lisa poked Winry in the eye, allowing her to escape Winry's grasp and tag Louise into the match.

However, the crowd booed as Juniper pulled Rally throat first into the top rope, causing the crowd to boo as Lisa applauded Juniper's clever use of the ropes.
"And Juniper able to use Rally's anger at her to her advantage, sending her throat crashing into the top rope!" Kotoko exclaimed as the crowd booed when Louise put Rally in a headlock and started punching her in the face. Louise then ran the ropes and hit a jumping senton onto Rally's gut before tagging Juniper into the match. The crowd booed loudly as Juniper strutted into the match, and started stomping on Rally.
"Juniper looks extremely confident now that Rally is at a disadvantage," Bob explained as Juniper picked Rally up by the hair and threw her into the top turnbuckle before turning her around. June hit multiple back elbows to the side of Rally's face before running the ropes and hitting Rally with another back elbow to the side of the head before hitting her with a CCS Enziguri, causing the crowd to boo. June seemingly ignored these boos as she picked Rally up, put her in a suplex position, and hit her with a Gourdbuster before going for a pin.
Ref: 1…2.

Very nice move by Juniper," Striker exclaimed as Juniper picked Rally up and hit her with a knee strike to the gut before running the ropes and hit Rally with a Knee Strike/Neckbreaker combination before tagging Lisa back into the match. June put Rally on her knees and held her hands back, allowing Lisa to run the ropes and hit Rally with a shining wizard. The crowd continued to boo as Lisa started stomping on Rally before running the ropes and hitting a jumping fist drop onto the top of Rally's head before pushing Maka.
"And Lisa showing some disrespect to Maka with that shove!" Kotoko exclaimed as Maka tried to rush into the ring, but the referee prevented her from coming into the ring.

Bob complimented as Louise put Rally in a seated position in front of the middle rope, before running the ropes and hitting Rally with a knee strike to Rally's nose.
"Bob, I know she's your daughter, but come on," Kotoko responded in a deadpanned manner as while Louise was arguing with the referee, Lisa started stomping on Rally's head as Juniper started mocking Rally as Louise dragged her to the center of the ring and put her in a headlock, yelling at the booing crowd as Rally tried to escape the hold.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, the team of Lisa Simpson, Louise Belcher, and Juniper Lee!" Tony Chimel announced as Juniper pushed the referee out of her way before rolling out of the ring and confronting Tony Chimel, asking for the microphone. Tony acquiesced and June looked at a fallen Winry before gazing at the booing crowd, taking in the boos.
"June Fact #47; I ALWAYS win," June stated before throwing the microphone back at Chimel before continuing to celebrate around the ring. On the other side of the ring, Louise and Lisa hugged each other as Maka rolled into the ring to check on Winry, who was still down holding her head in pain from Juniper's multiple moves targeting her head.
"Well Juniper celebrating her first victory here in the BTWF with another June Fact for us," Bob explained as Rally sat up, glaring at June as she was doing a victory lap around the ring. Louise and Lisa laughed at Rally's defeated form as they walked up the ramp, holding their fists up. Rally held herself up using the steel steps before continuing to glare at June as she continued to celebrate in the ring.
"June may have won this match, but Rally doesn't look like she's done with her yet," Striker explained as the camera panned to the backstage interview area where Scott Stanford was standing with Tanjiro Kamado and Ganta Igarashi.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the BTWF's newest tag team, the Japanese Destroyers. Now, I wanted to ask you two to tell us a little more about yourselves," Scott explained as Tanjiro nodded before leaning the microphone closer to his mouth.
"Of course Mr. Stanford. When we first came into contact with each other, we were fighting over the IWGP Light Heavyweight Championship for over a year. And you can say that like Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit, we gained a good amount of respect for each other," Tanjiro explained as Ganta moved the microphone closer to his mouth.
"So we decided to take over the New Japan tag team ranks, which spoiler alert, we did. 5 Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Titles, and 5 Heavyweight Tag Team titles, that's what happened when we started teaming," Ganta explained with a load of confidence oozing out of his voice.
"And that's why we're here in the BTWF; we want to show every single person we can why we are the greatest tag team in Fanfiction Wrestling today!" Tanjiro exclaimed as he and Ganta fist-bumped each other before leaving the interview area. However, as they were leaving, the Yu-Gi-Bromans came walking up to them, with Joey Wheeler pretending to yawn.
"Bros, is that all you got? I, like, almost fell asleep while walking in your general direction," Joey mocked as Tristan Taylor and DJ Yugi laughed as Tristan walked up to the Japanese Destroyers, who were getting very annoyed.
"You guys may be all the rage in Japan, but this ain't NJPW, this is the BTWF! And you can consider us your welcoming committee, bros!" Tristan exclaimed as Tanjiro and Ganta looked at each other in annoyance before Tanjiro hit a kick to the side of DJ Yugi's head, and fist-bumped each other before walking away from the Yu-Gi-Bromans, leaving them checking on Yugi, glaring at their disappearing frames as the camera panned to a commercial break.
*Commercial Break*
*Commercial Over*
The camera panned back to the backstage interview area, where Victor Calavera was standing next to the BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long.
"Hey Victor, what's going on? Hope you got something juicy for us," Yang said before patting her hand on Victor's shoulder, causing him to laugh before responding to her.
"Well, I actually wanted to know what you have planned for the Sisterhood of Darkness after what's been happening on Octane," Victor explained as Yang playfully stroked her chin in thought as Ruby interjected.
"Funny you should ask that Victor, as we just got done talking with Arthur Morgan and Tanya von Degurechaff, and they're going to allow us to challenge the Sisterhood of Darkness to a six-woman tag team match next week!" Ruby explained as Victor looked down, counting with his fingers in a confused face.
"That does sound like a match to watch next week, but who will your partner be?" Victor asked as Yang laughed out loud before patting Victor in the back slightly harder than usual.
"Blake, of course, she's part of Team RWBY for life, and after she shows more of what she can do later tonight, Blake will help us show the Sisterhood what they're in for at Trouble in Tokyo!" Yang exclaimed as she patted Victor on the back again before telling Ruby that they were leaving.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, from Little Rock Arkansas, he is 'the Guru', TJ Detweiler!" Tony Chimel announced, causing the crowd to boo as TJ blew kisses to the crowd, ignoring the hostile reaction he was receiving.
"At the pre-show of New Horizons, TJ was able to defeat Lance Scaper thanks to the interference of the Conglomerate's Onslaught," Striker explained as TJ shook the hands of a couple of the younger fans in the front row before waving to the rest of the audience. The crowd continued to boo as he walked up the stairs and went into the ring through the middle rope.
"Lance asked for this rematch so he can show the fans that he can win," Kotoko explained as Drew McIntyre's first 2009 theme song from the Extreme Library played, causing the crowd to cheer as Lance ran onto the stage, and when he got to the center of the stage, he jumped up and down with his fists up.
"And his opponent, from Tom's River New Jersey, Lance Scaper!" Tony Chimel announced as Lance ran to the ring, hi-fiving fans while pumping his fist up before running into the ring, causing the crowd to cheer louder as he jumped up to the middle rope before climbing up to the top.
"Lance looks energized here, wanting to not only show the fans what he's capable of but wanting to show Onslaught what he's in for in the future," Bob explained as Lance Scaper jumped to the center of the ring before the referee rang the bell. The crowd cheered as Lance and TJ circled each other in the center of the ring before Lance and TJ locked up in the middle of the ring, with the crowd booing as TJ was able to put Lance in an armlock. TJ continued to wrench the arm before slapping Lance in the back of the head and pushed him into the corner before backing away and basking in the boos of the fans.
"TJ starting this match off full of confidence and disrespect with those slaps to the back of the head," Striker explained as Lance went back to the center of the ring, locking up again, before Lance was immediately able to put TJ in an arm wrench of his own, causing the crowd to cheer as Lance was able to send TJ down to the ground while keeping the arm in control. Lance then hit a leg drop on TJ's arm before attempting to put him in an armbar, but TJ tried to keep his arm from being exposed to the armbar.
"Lance taking control of the arm here, which can hinder many of TJ's signature moves, such as the Divine Intervention (Captain's Hook), and the Sliced Bread #2," Striker explained as TJ was able to reposition himself so he could roll Lance up in a pinfall.

TJ grabbed Lance's leg and put him in a Spinning Toe Hold, causing the crowd to boo as Lance started screaming in pain again. Lance tried to drag himself to the ropes, but TJ rammed his knee into the back of Lance's leg to keep him isolated in the middle of the ring.
"TJ continuing his targeted assault on the leg, which is an excellent strategy by the Guru," Striker explained as Lance tried to drag himself to the ropes again, but TJ pulled him back to the center of the ring and continued to apply the pressure. However, after another thirty seconds in the hold, Lance turned on his back and started kicking TJ in the face, causing the crowd to cheer.

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Lance Scaper!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued to cheer as Lance sat down and shot his fist up in celebration as the referee held his arm up as TJ rolled out of the ring with a hand over his head.
"Lance able to pick up a win, getting revenge on TJ for the cheap win he got at New Horizons!" Striker exclaimed as Lance rolled out of the ring, and started holding his knee in pain as he leaned on the announcers' table, smiling at his victory. TJ staggered back to his feet by picking himself up using the steel steps, putting a smile on for the fans.
"TJ seems to be fine though, look at him, still smiling despite his loss. The fans could learn something from him," Bob explained as TJ walked to the back with a hand on the back of his head, giving the fans a thumbs up. Meanwhile, Lance started making his way to the back, hi-fiving all the fans he could on his way to the back, before briefly stopping and turning to the camera and challenged Onslaught to come face him.
"That smile is as fake as Trump's tan. But more importantly, Lance is still looking to get his hands on Onslaught," Kotoko responded as the camera panned to the back where Brandon Castle was standing in front of a locker room door, where Izuku Midoriya was standing.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with Izuku Midoriya. Now Midoriya, we saw what BTWF Hardcore Champion Pete Corvus did to your mother before this show started. What is going through your mind right now?" Castle asked. Midoriya looked up at Brandon with a glare on his face, before he started shaking, running his hands through his hair. Brandon backed away slightly, thinking Midoriya was going to attack him, but rather, Midoriya swatted the microphone out of Brandon's hand and left. Brandon looked shocked as the camera panned to the stage, where 'My Fight' by Ashes to New played, causing the crowd to boo.
"Midoriya looks like he's ready to destroy someone after what happened to his mother," Striker stated as Hana Morenos came running on the stage before she started shadow boxing at the center of the stage. The crowd continued to boo as Hana takes her hood off and starts making her way to the ring with an unusual smirk on her face.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, from Phoenix Arizona, Hana Morenos!" Tony Chimel announced as Hana threatened to punch a few of the booing fans, with the smirk still on her face, as she continued making her way to the ring.
"The walking oddity Minatsuki Tamaki has challenged Hana Morenos to a match tonight, as Hana accepted, but I'm surprised at the confidence she seems to be exuding from her," Kotoko noted as Hana ran up to the steel steps and into the ring before she rolled to the center of the ring and started shadow boxing again as the crowd continued to boo.
"Hana has wanted nothing to do with Minatsuki for the past couple of months. You're right Kotoko, it is weird that she seems really happy about this," Bob agreed as Hana's theme song stopped as she leaned in the corner with both her hands behind her head as she waited for Minatsuki's theme song to play. The crowd started cheering despite her not coming out yet, but after a minute, she still wasn't coming out.
"This is strange…Minatsuki doesn't seem to be com—wait! I'm getting something on our headsets. Can we get a camera backstage please!?" Striker asked as the camera panned to the back, where medical personnel were standing over an unconscious Minatsuki Tamaki causing the crowd to boo as Hana started laughing.
"Oh I get it now, Hana attacked Minatsuki before the match started so that she wouldn't have to wrestle her now!" Kotoko exclaimed as Hana yelled at the stage, telling someone to come out. The crowd gave a mixed reaction as Yukino Aguria came out with her fist up as Hana continued to laugh at her plan working like a charm.
"And she has Yukino coming out of the ring! No offense to Yukino, but it looks like Hana was after an easier win here on Intensity!" Bob exclaimed as Yukino rolled into the ring, and confirmed that she was the new opponent for Hana. The referee rang the bell, and Hana immediately hit Yukino with a running knee to the gut before throwing her into the corner and hit her with multiple punches to the face and the body. The crowd booed as Hana then grabbed Yukino by the chin and hit her with a strong punch to the face before sending her down with a Fireman's Carry, going for a pin.

"Hana starting off hot, with her MMA experience taking complete control of Yukino," Kotoko explained as Hana started punching Yukino in the face before running the ropes and hit Yukino with a jumping stomp to the top of her head. The crowd continued to boo as Hana picked Yukino up and hit her with a scoop slam, before planting her foot on Yukino's chest, indicating a pin.
Ref: 1…2
Yukino kicked out, and Hana responded by picking Yukino up, putting her in a scoop slam position, and put her in the Tree of Woe, causing the crowd to boo as she playfully kicked Yukino in the face.
"Hana not sweating this match at all, completely humiliating Yukino," Striker explained as Hana ran the ropes and hit Yukino with a running dropkick to Yukino's face, before picking her up and hitting her with a snap vertical suplex before putting her in a rear chinlock. The crowd booed as Hana started digging her fingers into Yukino's eyes, but Yukino was able to counter with multiple headbutts to Hana's face, causing the crowd to give a mixed reaction.
"Yukino trying to get back into this match, but she's been pretty hurt already," Bob explained as Yukino hit Hana with multiple punches to the face, but Hana was able to counter with a kick to the side of the head, causing the crowd to boo as she turned Yukino around, and put Yukino in the rear-naked choke. The crowd gave a mixed reaction as Yukino attempted to get back to her feet, but Hana started punching Yukino in the face, causing Yukino to tap out, causing the crowd to boo loudly as Hana threw Yukino to the side.

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Hana Morenos!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued to boo as Hana kicked Yukino out of the ring before pushing Tony Chimel down to the ground before grabbing his microphone.
"And THAT is what I want Minatsuki to realize what I'm going to do to her! I've been having to deal with this crazy bitch for over two months now, and I'm sick and tired of it!" Hana exclaimed as the crowd continued to boo and chant for Minatsuki.
"So I decided to give Minatsuki a taste of what I'm capable of doing to her! I want to make sure that she knows I'm not fucking around with her and I will-!" Hana continued to rant before Minatsuki came out of the back, glaring at Hana with a black eye clearly being seen on her right eye, causing the crowd to cheer.
"Hana…friends don't treat friends like this. All I wanted was to play with you, and you threw me into a production crate?" Minatsuki asked, her voice laced with sadness as Hana continued yelling at her. However, Hana jumped slightly when she saw Minatsuki's head raise back up, and instead of a sad face, her face was a devilish glare.
"But if you want to play rough, I can do that too. I really thought we could be good friends, but you had to ruin it because of your dark and selfish mind! I've dealt with plenty of people like you in the past, and they've beaten me down both physically and mentally! I'm not going to let that happen anymore, and I will get my hands on you!" Minatsuki exclaimed as the crowd cheered and chanted for Minatsuki as Hana glared at Minatsuki and started yelling at her. Minatsuki started laughing maniacally as she dropped the microphone, turning around, and walking to the back while continuing her laughter.
"Hana has definitely lit a fire underneath the normally sweet Minatsuki!" Striker exclaimed as Hana glared at the stage before rolling out of the ring. The crowd continued to chant Minatsuki's name and 'Happy Place!' at Hana, causing her to start putting her hands on her ears.
"Hana may have gotten a dominant victory here, but she got the enigmatic Minatsuki completely unhinged," Kotoko agreed as Hana continued to make her way to the back, yelling arguing with the crowd chanting at her. The camera then panned to a locker room, where BTWF International Champion Dipper Pines was looking over a board full of pictures of possible wrestlers that were free agents, and could possibly be signed to the company.
"Who is it…come on Sunny, let me into that head of yours," Dipper mumbled to himself before BTWF World Heavyweight Champion Katsuki Bakugo slapped his shoulder.
"Hey, Dipper! What the hell are you doing!? You have to focus on your match with Zancrow in the main event!" Bakugo exclaimed, pulling Dipper away from his picture-filled board.
"Sorry Bakugo, but this whole mystery opponent thing has me riled up. Like, what right does Sunny have to force me into a title match with an opponent I don't even know!?" Dipper yelled, kicking the picture filled board before Bakugo grabbed Dipper by his shirt and turned him around.
"Dipper, you shouldn't worry about that! There's a reason that you're the International Champion! Who gives a shit about the extra that Sunny signed? You're still one of the greatest International Champions that the BTWF has ever had!" Bakugo uncharacteristically motivated, causing Dipper to take a few deep breaths and nodding.
"You're right Bakugo! I'm the International Champion! I've beaten so many people to defend this title, and whoever I face at Trouble in Tokyo will be just one more victim!" Dipper said, grabbing his International Championship from his locker before Bakugo nodded and gave him a playful fist bump to the face.
"Right! Now I need you to focus on Zancrow and make sure you continue what Mercury started last week," Bakugo explained before he left the locker room, leaving a now confident Dipper to fall onto the ground and start doing pushups before the camera panned to a commercial break.

The camera panned to the GMs' office, where Overhaul and Sunny Bridges were sitting down with BTWF Cruiserweight Champion Crona Gorgon.
"So, since we're putting you in a very unfair disadvantage in this match, we were wondering if you wanted to help us choose the six remaining Cruiserweights that are going to be in this match," Sunny explained as Crona put his Cruiserweight Championship on the table before nodding in agreement.
"That sounds good to me. If I'm going to be in a match like this, I might as well make sure we have the best talent to make this the best match possible for the fans," Crona explained as he looked through the list of possible names.
"Don't forget, Octane agreed to let us use some of their Cruiserweights for the match since the match will take place on Octane's night," Overhaul explained as Crona nodded in understanding while looking through the list he was given before the camera panned to the stage, where 'Hero' by Issues started playing, causing the crowd to cheer as Mirio walked out of the back. Mirio pointed at the cheering fans before he started flexing on the stage, accompanied by pyro going off behind him.
"The following contest is a Tornado Tag Team Match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first from Musutafu Japan, he is Mirio Togata!" Tony Chimel announced as Mirio walked halfway up the entranceway before pointing to the stage as 'Speedom' by Tech N9ne played, as the crowd continued to cheer as Hitman ran out of the back, and started jumping up and down on the center of the stage.
"And introducing his partner, from Tom's River New Jersey, he is Ace Hitman Jones!" Tony Chimel announced as Hitman ran up to Mirio and hi-fived him before the two continued making their way to the ring.
"These two have made quite the up and coming tag team, and Gray and Lyon have become jealous of their success," Striker explained as Hitman and Mirio hi-fived as many fans as they could before Hitman tapped Mirio on the shoulder and whispered something in his ear that caused Mirio's eyes to grow wide. Hitman jumped back slightly, before running to Mirio, who picked him up and threw Hitman in the ring, causing the crowd to cheer as Hitman landed on his feet and climbed up to the top rope.
"What an entrance by Hitman! He certainly wants to get him and Mirio on the exact same page!" Kotoko exclaimed as Mirio rolled into the ring through the bottom rope, before patting an excited Hitman on the back before he went to the center of the ring and flexed once again, which Hitman copied as fireworks began spraying out of the corners.
"I actually ordered my Hitman and Mirio merchandise. Should be here in a couple of days," Bob said before 'Young' by Hollywood Undead played, causing the crowd to boo as Gray and Lyon came out in matching tracksuits with glares on their eyes.
"And their opponents, the team of Gray Fullbuster and Lyon Bastia, Fiore's Top Team!" Tony Chimel announced as Gray and Lyon walked to the ring with their noses in the air as Hitman and Mirio glared at them, ready for a fight once they got into the ring.
"Just a reminder to all the fans watching, a Tornado Tag Team Match means that both members of a team can be in the ring legally and there are no disqualifications or count-outs," Bob explained as Lyon and Gray ran into the ring and started punching Mirio and Hitman, who exchanged punches with Fiore's Top Team, causing an all-out brawl to break out and the crowd to cheer as the referee called for the bell to be rung.
"And this match is underway! Who can get the advantage in this brawl!?"

"All will be revealed after the upcoming word to our sponsors," was all Huey said before leaving the interview area as Lamy glared at him.
"Not much of an answer there, but that's something to look forward to after this commercial break, so don't go away folks!" Lamy advertised as the camera panned to the commercial break that Huey mentioned.

"Welcome back to the program ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with BTWF newcomer Rolf, who before the commercial break, ran out to save Team Hirio from a beatdown by Fiore's Top Team. Now, Rolf, I want to know why you decided to go out and defend Hitman and Mirio," Victor asked as Mirio cringed at hearing the 'Team Hirio' name as Rolf leaned in closer to the microphone.
"Rolf is someone who has always been taught to do the right thing. No matter how bad things look, Rolf is taught to help those who need it," Rolf explained as he looked over at Mirio and Hitman, who were silently arguing about their team name as Victor took the microphone back and put it back under his mouth.
"Do you have any idea as to why Jellal Fernandes would have a problem with you?" Victor asked as Rolf stroked his chin, thinking of a possible answer before an exasperated Jellal came stomping into the interview area.
"You want to know why I attacked Rolf? It's because I'm sick of all these goodie two shoe types of assholes where you do all this good stuff for attention," Jellal explained as he glared at Rolf, who responded with a glare of his own. Mirio then came into the picture and grabbed the microphone.
"Just because you're an asshole doesn't mean you can just attack anyone who does actual good things. And next week, we're going to show you that the good guys always win in a 6 man tag team match. Me, Hitman, and Rolf against you and Fiore's Top Team," Mirio challenged as Jellal glared at all three men standing in front of him.
"You know what!? You're on! I'm going to show you that darkness always beats light!" Jellal exclaimed as he stomped off, as Hitman, while holding his throat, looked at Jellal's disappearing frame with a raised eyebrow.
"…are we sure he's not like the leader of the Sisterhood of Darkness or something?" Hitman asked as Mirio and Rolf chuckled, with Victor even sparing a laugh.
"Nah, he's just a whiny little bitch. Anyway, we need to talk about this Team Hirio stuff because we are NOT calling ourselves that," Mirio responded as he led Hitman out of the interview area, with Rolf following the two men to their locker room as the camera panned to the stage, where 'And the Horse he Rode on' by Reluctant Hero played, causing the crowd to boo as Madison came to the ring while wearing bandages on her chest and stomach.

"And her opponent, from Menagerie Remnant, Blake Belladonna!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued to cheer as Blake ran to the ring, hi-fiving all the fans that she could as Madison started hitting the cowbell on her hand, possibly readying herself for an attack.
"Blake, last week, showed off her impressive power against Yukino. And I talked to her before the show started, and she told me that she's ready to show BTWF fans her athleticism," Kotoko explained as Blake stopped at ringside, and ran to roll through the middle rope, causing the crowd to cheer as she kipped up to both feet and pointed at Madison. Madison backed into the corner with the bullrope still in her hands as the crowd continued to cheer when Blake backed into another corner.
"Well we just saw a taste of athleticism with this entrance," Bob pointed out as the bell rang. Madison attempted to run at Blake with a clothesline, but Blake rolled out of the way and turned Madison around to hit her with multiple punches to the face before attempting to Irish whip her into the corner, but Madison was able to counter by throwing Blake into the corner. The crowd booed as Madison started punching Blake in the head and gut before running the ropes, attempting to hit a running forearm, but the crowd cheered as Blake was able to counter with a couple of boots to the injured chest.

However, the crowd exploded into cheers as BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long rushed to the ring. Yang hit Xochi in the face with her Women's Tag Team title belt before she and Ruby started brawling with Toga and Flare respectively.
"And thankfully, the BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions are here to defend their friend who just went through a competitive match!" Striker exclaimed as Yang and Ruby were able to throw Flare and Toga out of the ring, causing the crowd to cheer as Xochi got up with a hand on her head, and kept them back to prevent them from going back into the ring.

Bob exclaimed as Ruby and Yang helped Blake up as the Sisterhood left the ringside area with Xochi telling them to watch their backs and to just wait for next Saturday.
"The Women's Tag Team Champions and Blake Belladonna standing tall! Will this be the scene come next week!?" Kotoko asked as the camera panned to the bowels of the arena, where Zancrow was standing in front of some chain link fence, glaring at the camera.
"Katsuki Bakugo, your mouth has gotten you into more trouble than I think you're really aware of. Throwing your minions at me will not stop me from taking your BTWF World Heavyweight Championship," Zancrow explained before opening the door to the chain-link fence.
"The door to your demise is opening Bakugo, and it is not going to close anytime soon. As for Dipper Pines, your focus on your mystery opponent at Trouble in Tokyo will only make my job all that much easier," Zancrow finished before the camera panned back to the ring, where a podium was in the middle of the ring where Huey Freeman was standing at, surrounded by Cleveland Brown Jr., Vincent LeSalle, Kilik Rung, a downtrodden Boze and Shane, and the two masked men.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining me for my sermon," Huey began, causing the crowd to boo as Kilik rolled his eye while laughing as Vincent and Cleveland Jr. yelled at the fans.
"Today's sermon is about acceptance. The first thing that you all have to accept is that us Black people are not the scapegoats all of you think of us are. We all shouldn't be used to make you all look good, and you all have to accept the fact that we will do anything it takes to get the respect we deserve," Huey explained as the crowd continued to boo and chant that Huey sucked, as Boze and Shane nodded and chuckled, causing Kilik and the masked men to glare and talk them down.
"Secondly, our newest…recruits here will have to accept the fact that they are now the newest members of the Nation of Domination 2.0," Huey explained as Kilik pushed Boze and Shane closer to Huey, making them stand next to the podium.
"This could have all been avoided if you had just accepted my offer in the first place, Boze. I want you to remember this when you look into Shane's eyes and see the disappointment he has. Now that you are members of the Nation, what do you have to say?" Huey asked with a glare on his face as one of the masked men pushed a microphone into Boze's hand. Boze looked at the audience with guilt and disappointment on his face before starting.
"We are now members of the Nation of Domination 2.0. Myself and Shane will fight alongside the Nation with pride to help them reach their goals," Boze mumbled out, looking down on the floor as Shane patted his back as Huey chuckled and continued to talk.
"And now to finish off this sermon, the BTWF Tag Team Champions Robbie and Thompson will have to accept the fact that at Trouble in Tokyo, you will lose the Tag Team Championships to fighters for my cause, Vincent LeSalle, and Cleveland Brown Jr.!" Huey exclaimed as the crowd continued to boo and chant that Huey sucks. Before Huey could continue, Robbie, Thompson, Jonah von Bruken, and the Best Friends (Bender and Fry) walked down to the ring, causing the crowd to cheer as Huey stepped off of the podium and went behind the masked men.
"The fact that you can stand there and think you're on some moral high ground while you force Boze and Shane to join you guys? And I thought you saying we were going to lose our titles to you guys was the dumbest thing you said. Anyway, I got some of the boys here to kind of…give you a receipt for taking Boze and Shane last week," Robbie explained before throwing down the microphone as he, Thompson, Jonah, Bender, and Fry came running into the ring and started brawling with the Nation.
"And the Tag Team Champions leading their own team to take on the Nation!" Striker exclaimed as Boze and Shane tried to leave the ring, but Huey yelled at them to join in the brawl, specifically the tag team champions. Not happy, Boze and Shane did what they were told as they hit Thompson with a chop block to the back of the knee.
"Huey forcing the newest members of the Nation to take out the tag champs!" Kotoko exclaimed as Shane knocked Robbie down with a spinning heel kick. Jonah was also knocked out by Kilik's discus forearm, while the masked men were fighting with the Best Friends. The crowd booed louder as Cleveland knocked both Best Friends with a clothesline before picking Fry up and hitting him with a Uranage that sent him crashing into Bender. Vincent then went up to the top rope and hit a Frog Splash onto both Best Friends as Boze and Shane continued to beat down on the tag team champions.
"The Nation taking out these five men with pretty relative ease!" Bob exclaimed as Huey walked back into the ring and raised his right fist, with everyone else but Boze and Shane doing the same thing. Huey then looked at Boze and Shane, glared at them, and told them to give Vincent and Cleveland Jr. the tag team titles, which they did.
"With how dominant the Nation is here, you have to believe that this could be the scene at Trouble in Tokyo!" Striker exclaimed as the camera panned to a commercial break as Huey and the rest of the Nation (along with a reluctant Shane and Boze) raised their right fists up, with Vincent and Cleveland Jr. holding the tag team titles up in the air.
*Commercial Break*
*Commercial Over*
The camera panned to the GMs' office, where Overhaul, Sunny, and BTWF Cruiserweight Champion Crona Gorgon continued looking over at the possible participants in the Cruiserweight title X-Scape match at Trouble in Tokyo. As the three men were talking, Kazuma Sato opened the door and strolled in with Megumin, Aqua, and Darkness flanking him.
"So this is what it's come to. Your little golden boy is getting to hand pick his opponents at Trouble in Tokyo," Kazuma said, pointing an accusatory finger at Crona, who slapped it away from his face. Kazuma then grabbed the list, and looked over at the wrestlers Crona had checked, and his smirk returned on his face.
"Really? These guys? I've already beaten him and him. I…haven't faced the other four, but I'll probably beat them too. And to think I was scared," Kazuma said with a laugh before throwing the paper back in Crona's face.
"Yeah, you really should be. Because I am going to personally make sure you get eliminated in the most painful way I can possibly muster," Crona explained with an evil smile on his face, causing Overhaul, Sunny, and Kazuma's girls to look at him in shock before he continued to look over the paper.
"You…can leave now," Sunny said, and Kazuma just looked at Crona angrily before he and his girls left the arena as the camera panned to the stage, where 'MANTRA' by Bring Me the Horizon played, causing the crowd to boo as Dipper Pines came out with BTWF World Heavyweight Champion Katsuki Bakugo.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, representing the NWO and accompanied by the BTWF World Heavyweight Champion Katsuki Bakugo, from Gravity Falls Oregon, he is the BTWF International Champion, Dipper Pines!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd booed while Dipper Pines looked over his shoulder, still worried about the mystery contender for his championship.
"And here is our main event folks, and Dipper looks a little distracted," Striker explained as Bakugo patted Dipper on the shoulders hard, telling him to maintain his focus on the upcoming match with Zancrow.
"Well if you had a mystery opponent at a PPV for your championship, so would you. However, Zancrow doesn't care about this and is just looking to make Bakugo realize what's to come at Trouble in Tokyo," Bob explained as Dipper took the International title off of him and gave it to Bakugo before rolling into the ring. The crowd continued to boo as Dipper looked all around him to check for any possible contenders looking to attack him.
"Bakugo really needs Dipper to keep his focus, as he doesn't want Zancrow to have an easy time," Kotoko explained as the lights in the arena went out, causing the crowd to cheer as Bakugo yelled at someone to turn the lights back on. When the lights came back on, Zancrow was in the ring, scaring Dipper to the point of rolling into the corner, trying to come up with some sort of game plan to Bakugo.
"And Zancrow appears in the ring out of nowhere, wanting to kick start this match!" Striker exclaimed as the referee rang the bell while Dipper tried to escape the ring, but Zancrow pulled Dipper back to the center of the ring by the hair and started punching him in the face, causing the crowd to cheer before he threw Dipper into the corner. However, Dipper was able to dodge the punch and pushed Zancrow in the corner before he started punching Zancrow in the face, but the crowd cheered as Zancrow walked out of the corner, seemingly unaffected by the punches.
"Dipper should know that throwing hands with Zancrow isn't a good idea," Kotoko explained as Zancrow grabbed Dipper by the throat and threw him into the corner before he started punching Dipper in the face and chest. The crowd continued to cheer as Zancrow started hitting multiple back elbows to the side of Dipper's head before running the ropes and hitting Dipper with a running clothesline to the throat, sending Dipper falling out of the corner face first.
"Zancrow dominating the International champion, and Bakugo looks a bit worried," Bob explained as Bakugo started pounding the mat to get Dipper back into this match. Zancrow picked Dipper up, and Dipper countered with multiple kicks to the side of the leg before running the ropes, attempting a running crossbody. However, the crowd cheered as Zancrow caught Dipper in midair, hit him with a backbreaker, and threw him halfway across the ring with a Fallaway Slam. The crowd cheered as Zancrow kicked at the ropes, causing Bakugo to back away as the crowd started chanting for Zancrow as he started heading towards Dipper.
"Zancrow has been dominating Dipper since the onset of this match, and Bakugo is not happy," Kotoko explained as Zancrow attempted to pick Dipper up, but Dipper started elbowing and punching Zancrow's arm before kicking him in the knee. The crowd booed as Dipper went up to the middle rope and hit Zancrow in the face with a missile dropkick, sending Zancrow staggering into another corner. Dipper then ran into the corner, attempting to hit a jumping corner clothesline, but Zancrow countered by kicking Dipper in the face with a big boot before going for a pin.

However, the crowd cheered as Zancrow threw Dipper to the other side of the ring. However, before he could go after Dipper, he rolled onto the apron next to Bakugo, causing the crowd to boo as the two started to converse.
"Dipper taking a break from the match to go over strategy with Bakugo," Bob pointed out as the crowd continued to boo as Bakugo attempted to pull him out of the ring, but Zancrow didn't let him, as he grabbed Dipper by the back of his tights and threw him back into the ring. The crowd started cheering again as Zancrow picked Dipper up and put him in an arm wringer again and started climbing up the corner.
"Zancrow looks to be going for Old School!" Striker exclaimed as Bakugo got onto the apron, causing the crowd to boo as the referee got distracted while Zancrow started walking the ropes. Zancrow attempted to jump off the ropes for Old School, but with the referee not looking, Dipper hit Zancrow with a low blow as he was coming down, causing the crowd to boo as Dipper staggered away from a downed Zancrow.
"Dipper able to take advantage of the referee's momentary distraction with that low blow, probably sending Zancrow's balls into his throat!" Kotoko exclaimed as Dipper ran the ropes and hit a basement slide dropkick to Zancrow's face before going for a pin.

"Dipper has momentum on his side. If he wants to keep it, he needs to give all of his attention to Zancrow," Bob advised as Dipper kicked Zancrow in the chest and side multiple times, sending him crawling to the bottom turnbuckle. Dipper ran the ropes and hit Zancrow with a knee to the face before running the ropes again, hitting Zancrow with a running face wash. Dipper used all his strength to pull Zancrow further away from the ropes and went for the pin.

"Dipper only getting a two count from that combination of moves!" Striker exclaimed as Dipper started stomping on Zancrow's chest before hitting a jumping knee drop onto Zancrow's chest. Dipper pulled Zancrow up by the hair and put him on his knees before he started punching him in the face before running the ropes and hitting him with a jumping knee to the side of Zancrow's head. Bakugo started applauding Dipper from the outside as Dipper mounted Zancrow from behind and started hitting Zancrow in the back of the head with multiple forearm strikes.
"Dipper showing a lot of aggression here now that he's in control of Zancrow," Kotoko explained as Dipper got off of Zancrow and rolled him on his back to pin him again.

Zancrow kicked out again, and Dipper responded by kicking him in the face a couple of times before picking him up and hitting him with a dropkick to the head, sending him staggering back into the corner. Dipper ran the ropes, attempting a running clothesline, but Zancrow countered with a right-hand jab to the face, sending Dipper staggering away from Zancrow, causing the crowd to cheer.
"Zancrow starting to get momentum back with that one strike to the head!" Bob exclaimed as Dipper staggered into the referee, pulling on his shirt, distracting the referee once again. While the referee was distracted, Bakugo grabbed Zancrow's leg and pulled him down before dragging giving him Ring Post-It is, causing the crowd to boo as Dipper continued to distract the referee with his now bloody nose.
"Bakugo getting involved in this match once again, but in a much more hands-on way!"

Dipper rolled out of the ring, fist-bumped Bakugo, and started slamming Zancrow's knee into the steel ring post more.
"Thanks to Bakugo, the knee has become the focal point of Dipper's attack!" Kotoko exclaimed as Dipper pushed Zancrow back into the ring before Dipper climbed up to the ring apron. Dipper springboarded back into the ring with a springboard elbow drop to Zancrow's chest before going for a pin, hooking both legs back.

When Zancrow kicked out, Dipper immediately grabbed Zancrow's right leg and started dropping multiple elbows to the sides of Zancrow's knee. Dipper also grabbed Zancrow's right knee and started punching the top of Zancrow's knee before letting go and hitting a jumping elbow drop onto Zancrow's knee.
"This is very smart by Bakugo, as Bakugo uses the Indian Deathlock as a finisher, and with a weakened leg, Zancrow could be a sitting duck for that painful submission hold," Bob explained as Dipper went up to the 2nd rope and hit another diving elbow drop onto Zancrow's chest before going to another pin, hooking both of Zancrow's legs again.
Ref: 1…2
"It's also smart for Dipper to hook both legs back for a pin, causing Zancrow to potentially hurt his leg more with these constant kick-outs," Striker responded as Dipper pounded the mat in frustration before grabbing Zancrow's leg, and wrapping him in a Figure 4 Leglock, causing the crowd to boo as Zancrow started growling in pain as Bakugo clapped for Dipper while yelling at Zancrow to tap out.
"Dipper has Zancrow locked in the Figure 4 Leglock! This could be the end of the match right here!" Kotoko exclaimed as Zancrow tried to sit up to punch Dipper in the face, but Dipper countered by jamming his thumb into Zancrow's eye and pushing him back down to the ground before continuing to stretch his leg in the Figure 4 Leglock. After forty-five seconds, Zancrow still was not tapping out, so Dipper upped the ante by punching Zancrow's knees, causing the crowd to boo as Zancrow started pulling his hair to prevent himself from screaming in pain.
"Dipper continuing the attack on Zancrow's leg! How is Zancrow still in this match!?" Bob asked in shock as Zancrow started dragging himself to the ropes, causing the crowd to cheer as Dipper started punching Zancrow with both of his fists. This didn't stop Zancrow, as he was able to grab both of the ropes, causing the crowd to cheer as the referee forced Dipper to break the hold, causing Bakugo to pound the apron in frustration.
"Zancrow is able to break the hold, but you have to wonder if it was too late with all the damage done to his leg!" Striker exclaimed as Zancrow pulled himself back to his feet using the top rope, but Dipper started kicking the back of Zancrow's right leg multiple times, causing the crowd to boo.

However, Bakugo rolled out of the ring, so Zancrow grabbed the unconscious body of Dipper and once again threw him at Bakugo, causing the crowd to cheer louder as Zancrow limped back to the center of the ring.
"Despite Zancrow standing tall here, you can see the toll that these matches are taking on him, which was most likely Bakugo's plan all along," Bob explained as Zancrow, with slight trouble, was able to kneel down and stick his tongue out, causing the crowd to cheer louder as the lights turned purple.
"Can Zancrow overcome this setback? We'll see in less than three weeks time, so be sure to order Trouble in Tokyo now!" Striker exclaimed as the camera faded to black while Zancrow continued to celebrate in the ring.
