BTWF Intensity (December Week 3)
'Fight' by Oleander played, causing the crowd to cheer loudly, chant 'BTWF!' and 'Intensity!' as the camera panned to the signs in the crowd. These signs included "Midoriya is Hardcore!', 'Bakugo is going to Rest in Agony!', 'Luna's Gonna be the Last Woman Standing!', and 'the NWO Suck Ass'! The camera panned back to the stage, where the pyro shot out of the sides of the TitanTron, and out of the stage before panning to the commentary team.
"Welcome to another episode of BTWF Intensity ladies and gentlemen! I'm Matt Striker, and these are my broadcast partners Kotoko Iwanaga and Bob Belcher, and do we have a special night for you all tonight!" Striker exclaimed as the camera focused on Kotoko and Bob, who waved at the camera in response.
"That's right Matt, and from Galesburg Illinois, we have two title matches here tonight for your viewing pleasure!" Kotoko exclaimed as the camera panned to a match card on the TitanTron, that showed Pete Corvus and Kite on one side, Thompson and Robbie on the other side, and the BTWF Tag Team titles in the middle before the screen faded into another match card. This match card had Izuku Midoriya in the middle, the BTWF Hardcore Championship on top of the card, and below that were the words 'Open Challenge'.
"And we also have a match between the Conglomerate, and 'Amazing' Luna Collins' team of herself, Maka Albarn, Winry Rockbell, and Sue," Bob explained as the camera panned to the stage as Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson's 'Omen in the Sky' theme song played, causing the crowd to cheer as Robbie and Thompson came stomping out of the back with determined looks on their faces.
"The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall and it is for the BTWF Tag Team Championships! Introducing the challengers, from Gravity Falls Oregon, the team of Robbie and Thompson!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued to cheer as Robbie and Thompson, despite focusing their eyes on the ring, gave a few fans in the front row some fist bumps as Robbie told the camera that they were getting the BTWF Tag Team Championships back.
"And speaking of action, we're starting off with the BTWF Tag Team Championship match here tonight, as Robbie and Thompson have said that they want to get their championships back as soon as possible!" Striker exclaimed as Robbie rolled into the ring from underneath the bottom rope, and Thompson walked up the steel steps, raising his arm in the air. The crowd continued to cheer as Thompson walked over the top rope and into the ring while Robbie springboarded into the ring and rolled in front of Thompson.
"Thompson and Robbie have been proud champions that defended the championships anytime and anywhere, so you have to understand their need to get the championship back," Kotoko explained as when Robbie and Thompson went into their corner, 'MANTRA' by Bring Me the Horizon played, causing the crowd to boo as Pete Corvus and Kite came walking out with the BTWF Tag Team titles around Kite's waist and hanging off of Corvus' shoulder. Marco Diaz and Duncan accompanied the BTWF Tag Team Champions to the ring, as they gave Corvus and Kite hi-fives and fist bumps. Tsubaki also had her arms wrapped around Corvus' right arm as he and Kite made their way to the ring.
"And their opponents, accompanied by and representing the NWO, they are the BTWF Tag Team Champions, Pete Corvus, and Kite!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued to boo. These boos only grew louder as Corvus feigned a hi-five with several fans in the front row before actually giving Kite a hi-five. Tsubaki then kissed Corvus on the cheek before he laughed and raised the BTWF Tag Team Championship belt over his head.
"Corvus recently came back after injuries sustained in his BTWF Hardcore Championship match at Trouble in Tokyo, and is already draped in gold once again," Bob explained as Corvus and Kite clinked their BTWF Tag Team Championship belts together before the both of them slid into the ring from underneath the bottom rope. Corvus and Kite then went to the center of the ring and raised their BTWF Tag Team Championships over their head before turning to Robbie and Thompson, and telling them that they're never getting their championships back.
"Corvus and Kite seem really confident heading into this match, telling Robbie and Thompson that the NWO are going to be keeping the championships," Kotoko explained as Corvus and Kite gave their BTWF Tag Team Championship belts to the referee. The referee raised the belts before making sure that both teams were ready for the match before telling the timekeeper to ring the bell. When the bell rang, Corvus and Robbie locked up in the middle of the ring, but as they tried to push each other into the corner, they started punching each other in the back and the sides of the head.
"And this match is starting with a hockey fight!" Striker exclaimed as the crowd continued to cheer as Robbie clubbed Corvus in the back of the neck several times before taking him down with a Drop Toe Hold. The crowd continued to cheer as Robbie mounted Corvus' back and started punching him in the back of the head before getting up, running the ropes, and hitting a Running Leg Drop across the back of Corvus' head. The crowd continued to cheer as Robbie grabbed Corvus' arm, and kicked him several times in the chest before running the ropes, and hitting him with a Dropkick right to the side of the head before going for the pin.

"Corvus able to kick out here, but Robbie showcasing some aggression we haven't seen from him in a long time," Bob noted as Robbie put Corvus in a front facelock, and tagged Thompson into the match. The crowd cheered as Thompson hit several shots to the gut of Corvus with punches, and Robbie then Irish whipped Corvus into the corner. The crowd continued to cheer as Thompson went into the ring and hit him with a Running Clothesline to the throat. However, when Thompson attempted to throw Corvus out of the ring, Corvus poked Thompson in the eye and ran into the corner to tag Kite into the match.
"And Corvus, thanks to that Greco Roman thumb to the eye, is able to tag out of the match," Striker explained as Kite ran into the ring, but Thompson was able to counter with a couple of arm drags. The crowd cheered as Thompson stomped on Kite's gut, putting him in a seated position before running the ropes and hitting a Jumping Crossbody onto Kite before going for a pinfall.
Ref: 1…2
"And Thompson trying to turn Kite into part of the ring canvas with that Running Crossbody!" Bob exclaimed as Thompson picked Kite up by the hair, and started punching him in the sides of the head before hitting him with a Bell Clap that had enough force to send Kite falling back to the canvas. Thompson then stomped on Kite's gut before tagging Robbie into the match, and then when Robbie Springboarded into the ring, Thompson let go of Kite, allowing Robbie to hit Kite with a Springboard Senton with no trouble.
"Some good teamwork shown by the former BTWF Tag Team Champions as they look to get their titles back," Kotoko noted as Robbie picked Kite up, and wrung his arm a couple of times before hitting him with a straight kick to the gut. Robbie then ran the ropes, and hit a Jumping Clothesline onto Kite before running the ropes again, and hitting a Jumping Knee Drop onto Kite's forehead. Corvus got into the ring and attempted to run at Robbie, but Robbie responded with several kicks to the gut and chest.
"Robbie fighting back against the attempted shenanigans of Corvus!" Striker exclaimed as Robbie threw him into Thompson, who knocked Corvus down with a Bell Clap. Robbie then threw Corvus out of the ring before running the ropes and attempted to hit a Running Shooting Star Press onto Kite, but Kite was able to move out of the way. When Robbie attempted to get back up while holding his chest, Kite threw Robbie out of the ring and into the ringside area before distracting the referee by starting an argument with him. While the referee was distracted, Tsubaki hit Robbie in the chest with a couple of kicks to the chest while he was on all fours.
"Kite keeping the referee distracted while the NWO on the outside is damaging Robbie!" Kotoko exclaimed as Duncan and Marco grabbed Robbie, and sent his chest crashing into the steel ring apron before throwing him back into the ring. Kite quickly stomped on Robbie several times on the chest before going for the pin, hooking both of his legs back.
Ref: 1…2.
Kite picked Robbie up and started clubbing him in the back before hitting him with a Scoop Slam. Thompson tried to indicate that he was ready for a tag, but Corvus was able to grab both of Thompson's legs and pull him down causing his head to hit the top of the steel ring apron. Corvus then ran to his corner as Kite ran the ropes and hit a Jumping Elbow Drop to the side of Robbie's chest before tagging Corvus into the match. Corvus walked into the ring, playfully kicked Robbie in the side of the head, and then hit him with a couple of Elbow Drops to the chest before smirking at the crowd and the camera.
"Corvus and Kite are working on the ribs of Robbie, which can hinder his breathing enough to keep Robbie grounded and out of the air," Striker explained as Corvus grabbed Robbie by the hair, and started hitting him with several punches to the face. Corvus then punched Robbie in the gut and hit him with a Snap Vertical Suplex. Corvus then blew a kiss at Tsubaki before hitting Robbie in the chest with a Jumping Senton before running the ropes and hitting another Running Jumping Senton to Robbie's chest before going for the pin.

"A close two count there, but you can see Robbie taking in the deepest breaths that he possibly could," Kotoko noted as Corvus grabbed Robbie by the hair, and tagged Kite into the match. Kite and Corvus grabbed one of Robbie's arms and started hitting him with multiple knee strikes to the chest and the gut before Corvus hit Robbie with a Back Suplex. Corvus then picked Kite up and put him in a Back Suplex position before dropping Kite down, allowing Kite to hit Robbie with a Leg Drop across the throat.
"And now we're seeing some teamwork from the new BTWF Tag Team Champions," Bob explained as Kite grabbed Robbie, and threw him into the corner.

Kite then ran the ropes and tagged Corvus back into the match before hitting a seated Robbie with a Big Boot to the side of the face. Kite then picked Robbie up in an Abdominal Stretch, and Corvus responded by hitting Robbie with multiple attacks to the gut.
"Corvus and Kite continuing their attack on the chest of Robbie and—oh! Thompson's trying to get into the ring!" Striker exclaimed as Thompson tried to get to Corvus and Kite, but the referee told him to get back onto the apron. While the referee was distracted, Corvus and Kite stomped on Robbie's sides and gut as Kite kicked Robbie in the back several times before he and Corvus sent Robbie crashing into the corner hard enough that he fell in front of the bottom turnbuckle.
"And the BTWF Tag Team Champions, once again, taking advantage of a distracted referee!" Kotoko exclaimed as Corvus ran his hands through his hair before running the ropes, and hitting Corvus in the side of the face with a Running Face Wash as Kite went back onto the ring apron. But Corvus wasn't done, as he ran the ropes and hit Robbie with a Running Cannonball to Robbie's chest and face before dragging him to the center of the ring and going for another pinfall, with the referee's attention back onto the match.

"Robbie barely rolled his shoulder off of the mat, but his breathing is becoming more and more labored," Striker explained as Corvus grabbed Robbie's arms, and put him in an Abdominal Stretch. The crowd booed as Corvus pulled Robbie's leg up while continuing to stretch him in the Abdominal Stretch, giving him more pressure on both the chest and the legs. After a minute, Robbie started punching Corvus in the face, causing the crowd to cheer as Robbie freed his leg from Corvus' grasp, and hit him with a Superkick to the face.

The crowd winced and cheered as Thompson picked Corvus back up, and hit him with another Knife-Edge Chop that sent him falling back outside of the ring.
"If Thompson is known for one thing, it's those devastating Knife-Edge Chops that would make WALTER jealous!" Bob exclaimed as Kite hit a Running Elbow to the small of Thompson's back before clubbing him in the back and back of the neck. However, Thompson was able to push Kite away, but when he went for the Knife-Edge Chop, Kite ducked, and sent Thompson staggering into the corner with a Dropkick to the face. The crowd continued to boo as Kite ran the ropes and hit Thompson with another Dropkick to the chest, sending Thompson falling into the corner.
"Kite able to send Thompson into the corner with a couple of hard dropkicks!"

Robbie then balanced himself onto the top rope, and dived off of the top rope, hitting both Kite and Corvus with a Double Flying Clothesline. However, when Robbie attempted to pull Kite back up, Kite noticed that the referee was once again distracted by Corvus' body still in the ring. Kite took advantage of this by hitting Robbie with a low blow, and while the referee was still distracted by Corvus, Marco and Duncan grabbed Thompson, and hit a Double Superkick onto him, sending him falling to the ground.

"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners and still the BTWF Tag Team Champions, representing the NWO, Pete Corvus, and Kite!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued to boo as Kite told the referee to grab not only their BTWF Tag Team Championship belts but a microphone as well. Corvus rolled back into the ring, holding his jaw in pain as he patted Kite on the shoulder hard in support.
"And thanks to the typical NWO shenanigans, Kite and Corvus are still the BTWF Tag Team Champions, but at least the match ended with a pinfall," Kotoko explained as Kite and Corvus grabbed the BTWF Tag Team Championships from the referee while Corvus grabbed the microphone. Tsubaki rolled into the ring along with Duncan and Marco, celebrating with the NWO in the ring.
"It looks like Corvus has something to say to the BTWF Universe, which after another big win, must be a lot," Bob explained as Corvus smirked at the booing crowd before putting his mouth close to the microphone.
"And that, ladies and gentlemen, is just one example is what's going to happen to Team Midoriya at Christmas Chaos inside the Lethal Lockdown steel cage," Corvus explained, causing the crowd to boo louder as Kite raised his hands and the championship in celebrating as Corvus continued to talk.
"Team Midoriya may have all these good friends that want to fight for justice, but they're not a well-oiled machine like the NWO. In fact, with all the momentum we've been getting over these past few weeks, Team Midoriya don't stand a chance!" Corvus exclaimed before being interrupted by someone clearing their throat. Corvus and the rest of the NWO turned to the TitanTron, revealing Mirio Togata and 'Ace' Hitman Jones.
"Hey hey, NWO guys, you know, we wanted to come out and talk to you guys, but you know, there's like 2 of us and like 5 of you. And with all our Team Midoriya friends doing their own thing tonight, we didn't want to take the risk," Ace explained as Corvus and Kite laughed while Mirio smirked at the two before he began talking.
"Well, I'm glad you guys are confident. Because we just spoke to Sunny, and he said that Team Midoriya are in for something good when we win at Christmas Chaos," Mirio explained, causing Hitman's eyes to bug out and nodding excitedly as Corvus, Kite, and the rest of the NWO looked at Mirio and Hitman with raised eyebrows.
"Oh, that's right Mirio! You see, what happens is that if Team Midoriya wins, we're going to get shots at your championships at the Battle Riot PPV. Meaning that me and my man Mirio will get a shot at your BTWF Tag Team Championships and Edward Elric is going to get a shot at Gaara's International Championship," Hitman explained, causing the crowd to cheer as Corvus and Kite looked at them in shock, with Corvus throwing his microphone down in fury as he and Kite yelled at Hitman and Mirio.
"Glad to see you're as excited for this as we are. Anyway, we'll see you guys next week, but in the meantime, make sure you guys get ready for our Battle Riot match," Mirio said before the camera pointing to the TitanTron turned off as Corvus and Kite continued to yell and kick things as Tsubaki and the rest of the NWO tried to calm them down. The cameras then panned to the backstage interview area, where Lamy was backstage, interviewing Rally Vincent backstage, who was waiting with a smile and her arms crossed in front of her chest.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with Rally Vincent, who is going to be wrestling against Juniper Lee at Christmas Chaos one on one in her hometown in case you didn't hear it the first 100 times last week," Lamy joked as Rally looked at her with a raised eyebrow before taking the microphone.
"That's right Lamy, and you're probably why I'm taking this match with someone who's had as many victories against me as June rather than just some random local competitor to get that good ol' cheap pop," Rally responded as Lamy rolled her eyes and looked away before mumbling.
"Not really," Lamy mumbled causing Rally to roll her eyes herself before continuing on with what she was saying.
"It's because I wanted to give my hometown crowd a classic match that they deserve, while also getting my win back against the woman who's screwed me out of 2 wins,", Rally explained, but before she could leave the interview area, June grabbed her by the hair, and threw her into the wall. Lamy ran out of the interview area to get security while June was stomping on Rally's back and chest.
"Oh, you're gonna beat me, huh? From what I'm seeing, you're not gonna be beating anyone!" June exclaimed as June grabbed Rally and threw her into the interview area's chain-link wall before mounting her and punching her. Security came running down and tried to pull Rally and June apart from each other, as Rally tried to fight back with multiple punches to June's face and the side of her head. The camera panned back to the stage as security was continuing to try and separate Rally and June. Enzo Amore's 'SAWFT is a Sin' theme song played, causing the crowd to cheer as Connie Springer came running out of the back with a microphone in his hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am back! And after a hiccup last week thanks to the first incel to actually leave his house, Kazuma Sato, I am back to springboard myself to the top of the BTWF!" Connie exclaimed, causing the crowd to cheer louder and chant 'Go Connie Go!' as Connie ran down the entranceway, where Dipper Pines was in the ring, ready for a match. Connie then stopped at the top of the ringside area and continued talking as he soaked in the entire crowd's chanting.
"Now Dipper, you like to call yourself a badass? That's funny because you look like an ass kisser to me. I mean, I know that you all can't see it, but that's because Katsuki Bakugo and the rest of the NWO aren't out here," Connie explained, causing the crowd to cheer and laugh as Dipper yelled at Connie, telling him to shut up and come in the ring. Connie wagged his finger before jumping up onto the apron, twirling the microphone around his fingers.
"I know the truth hurts Dipper, but it ain't gonna hurt as much as what's gonna happen to you in a couple of seconds," Connie said before throwing a microphone at Dipper's chest, causing the crowd to cheer louder as Connie jumped over the top rope and into the ring. The referee, seeing that both men were ready, told the timekeeper to ring the bell and start the match, and when that happened, Dipper attempted to hit Connie with a punch, but Connie was able to duck down with the splits and kick Dipper in the knee a couple of times.
"Connie never has a shortage of confidence, but with moves like that, you can see why he has so much confidence," Striker explained as Connie got back to his feet, swiveled his hips a little, and started punching Dipper in the face several times before Irish whipping him into the ropes. When Dipper rebounded, Connie hit Dipper with a Back Elbow to the gut before running the ropes again and hitting Dipper with a Running Facebuster. The crowd cheered louder as Connie did a moonwalk before hitting a Jumping Knee Drop onto Dipper's face before going for a pinfall.

"Connie dominating this match in the early goings, not letting the threat of the NWO coming to ringside worry him," Kotoko explained as Connie grabbed Dipper by the hair, but the crowd booed as Dipper hit Connie with a Jawbreaker before attempting to throw him into the ropes. However, Connie was able to jump onto the middle rope and hit Dipper with a Springboard Clothesline before attempting another pin, but Dipper rolled out of the ring. The crowd booed as Connie attempted to get out of the ring, but the referee kept Connie in the ring, allowing Dipper to get his breath back.
"Dipper wisely taking a short break after getting dominated by Connie," Bob noted as Connie ran the ropes, and climbed over the referee's back to hit a Diving Crossbody from over the top rope to the outside, sending him crashing into Dipper. The crowd cheered as Connie hi-fived several fans in front of him before Connie grabbed Dipper by the hair, and hit him with multiple punches to the face before throwing him back into the ring. However, when Connie attempted to get back into the ring, Dipper pushed the referee in the way, causing Connie to become momentarily distracted before Dipper springboarded onto the second rope, and hit Connie with a Springboard Triangle Dropkick that sent Connie falling back out of the ring.
"And the former International Champion able to take advantage following a Triangle Dropkick!" Striker exclaimed as the crowd booed while Dipper shook the cobwebs out of his head before rolling back out of the ring. Dipper grabbed Connie, and hit him with a couple of slaps to the face before picking him up by the back of the overalls, and throwing him into the steel steps. The crowd continued to boo as Dipper started stomping on Connie's gut before Dipper grabbed the top of the steel steps, and used them to help him jump up and hit Connie in the chest with a knee.
"Dipper is now on the attack, using what he can find at ringside to damage Connie," Bob explained as Dipper mounted Connie, yelled at him to keep talking, and started punching Connie in the face as the referee started counting both men out.

Dipper then pushed Connie out of the corner and hit Connie in the back of the head with a Running Clothesline.
"Dipper continuing to dominate Connie, and there appears to be a little more mustard in all these strikes from Connie. This shows how Connie's talking down to his opponents isn't always the best strategy," Bob explained as Connie attempted to get on his knees and punch Dipper in the chest, but Dipper responded by picking him up and hitting him with a Scoop Slam. Dipper then moved to Connie's side, and playfully kicked him in the sides and the head before hitting him with several elbow drops to the chest.
"And here comes the Heartstopper, the series of elbow drops that were made famous by Dolph Ziggler," Kotoko explained as Dipper stopped after five elbow drops, and hit Connie with a Jumping Elbow Drop before going for another pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.

"Oh! Dipper probably sending some teeth shooting out of Connie's head and into the front row!" Bob exclaimed as Dipper grabbed Connie, and locked him in a side headlock, causing the crowd to boo as Dipper yelled at the crowd that he could keep it on all day. Connie tried worming his way out of the hold, but Dipper clubbed him in the chest several times, keeping him grounded as he started driving his knee into Connie's back. The crowd continued to cheer and clap for Connie while chanting his name as Connie started getting back to his feet.
"And Connie trying to get back to his feet while Dipper still has the headlock locked in tight!" Kotoko exclaimed as Connie started hitting Dipper with multiple elbows to the gut. The crowd cheered as Connie attempted to push Dipper away, but Dipper kneed Connie in the gut a couple of times before attempting to put the headlock back in, but Connie was able to dodge this attempt and hit a Knee Lift to the side of the head.

"And just like that, the NWO suffered a loss just after retaining the BTWF Tag Team titles earlier in the night!" Striker exclaimed as Connie continued celebrating as the NWO Cruiserweights Duncan and Marco Diaz came back out, and started brawling with Connie. Connie was able to punch Marco away, but Duncan was able to hit a massive Superkick to a tired Connie, sending him crumpling in front of the fan barricade.
"Speaking of the NWO, here they come to try and get their licks in on Connie!" Bob exclaimed as Marco and Duncan started stomping on Connie, but the crowd started cheering as Kuro Sakuragawa ran from the back. Kuro then grabbed Duncan and started punching him in the side of the head and throwing him into the steel steps. Kuro then grabbed Marco and started exchanging punches with each other as Dipper started regaining his senses in the ring.
"Kuro-Senpai is here! And he's here to save Connie like the heroic man that he is!" Kotoko celebrated as Connie started to regain his senses as Connie held Marco's legs together, allowing Kuro to knock Marco down with a kick to the side of the head. Dipper then noticed that Connie and Kuro were both up, and Duncan and Marco were both down and attempted to roll out of the ring, but Kuro was able to hit a massive clothesline that sent him twirling around in the air. However, before Connie or Kuro could get their hands back on Dipper, Duncan and Marco pulled Dipper away and ran back up the entrance ramp.
"The NWO is now invading the Cruiserweight Division, and hopefully, it will go better than when Syxx tried to do the same thing in WCW," Striker noted as the camera panned to the back as Connie started yelling at Marco, Duncan, and Dipper while Kuro tried to hold him back. The camera panned to the backstage interview area, where Ruby and Yang were standing next to each other as Pieck Finger stood next to them with a microphone in her hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here for the #1 contenders for the BTWF Women's Tag Team Championships at Christmas Chaos, Ruby Rose, and Yang Xiao Long. Now, the two of you have had some tensions boiling over for the past several months, and I want to know how your relationship is going right now," Pieck explained as Ruby and Yang looked at each other before taking a deep breath, and Yang moved closer to the microphone.
"Listen, the trauma, both physical and mental, that the Sisterhood of Darkness has put me through has made me into a person that I don't like. I hated looking at myself in the mirror after I had done things that I'm not proud of. That's why me and Ruby are trying to get back on the same page, so we can get the Women's Tag Team Championships back around our waists and be back to the best sister duo in the company," Yang explained as Ruby smiled at her sister and patted her back before taking the microphone.
"That's right, and honestly, I've been annoyed by Yang's attitude lately, and gave some thought to just leave the team altogether. But I've always believed that blood is thicker than water and that Yang had always been there for me during my lowest. So, I feel like if I didn't stay with Yang during her lowest, then what kind of sister would I be?" Ruby responded, but before Pieck could take the microphone back, Darkness and Megumin walked up to them with cocky smirks on their faces.
"That is a really touching story, but you guys have to realize the bigger picture; your match is about the BTWF Women's Tag Team Championships, and not how well a couple of sisters get along. This isn't some cheesy soap opera on the Hallmark channel, this is pro wrestling," Megumin said. Ruby responded by looking at Yang and letting out a chuckle before taking back the microphone from Pieck.
"That's funny, considering you guys didn't start wrestling until last week, and you wouldn't have even won if it wasn't for your little boy toy," Ruby countered as Yang chuckled while having an elbow placed on top of Ruby's right shoulder. Darkness and Megumin glared at the two before walking up to them, causing Pieck to back away from the two, letting Ruby keep the microphone as she tried to keep herself out of harm's way.
"If you two are so confident that you're on the same page, why not face us in our official tag team debut next week?" Darkness asked as Yang's eyes shot up in interest before getting off of Ruby, and patting her on the back.
"I guess we're slowly becoming the welcoming committee to the Women's Tag Team Division, huh? Well if you guys insist, we'll be there next week and you guys can be our example of what we're going to do to Ultear and Tomoko at Christmas Chaos," Yang responded as Megumin looked as though she was going to slap Yang, but Darkness grabbed Megumin's arm and pulled her away before walking off. Ruby gave Pieck her microphone back before leaving the backstage interview area as well just as the camera panned to the commercial break.
*Commercial Break*
*Commercial Over*
The camera panned back to the backstage interview area, where BTWF International Champion Gaara was standing next to Victor Calavera, who was wearing his black vest, sunglasses, black jeans, and the BTWF International Championship slung over his shoulder.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the BTWF International Champion Gaara, who will be competing in the Lethal Lockdown match at Christmas Chaos," Victor said before Gaara poked the top of the microphone with his finger.
"Yeah Victor, the people know who I am and what I'm going to be doing at the PPV, so get on with whatever stupid question you want to ask," Gaara rudely said, causing Victor to shoot a quick glare at Gaara before taking a deep breath and continuing on with his questioning.
"I just want to know how you feel about what was announced earlier on where if Team Midoryia wins the Lethal Lockdown match, you will have to defend the BTWF International Championship against Edward Elric at the Battle Riot PPV in January," Victor responded as Gaara looked at the International Championship, and patted the title before turning his attention back to Victor.
"You know what? That sounds perfectly fine to me. I'm getting sick of that little piece of shit trying to get this title off of me. He can be butt-hurt about how I won it all he wants, but let me make a promise to you and the rest of the losers in the audience one thing, and that's the fact that Edward Elric is NEVER going to be the BTWF International Champion!" Gaara exclaimed as Edward ran up to Gaara, and started brawling with him. Gaara responded by punching Edward in the gut while Edward was punching Gaara in the back. Victor ran off to get security while Edward and Gaara continued to brawl while the camera panned back to the stage. 'Can You Feel My Heart?' by Bring Me the Horizon played, causing the crowd to cheer as Blake cartwheeled out of the back, and kipped back to her feet as pyro went off from the stage.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, accompanied to the ring by Weiss Schnee, from Menagerie Remnant, Blake Belladonna!" Tony Chimel announced as Weiss walked out of the back, and patted Blake on the back as she pointed towards her cheering fans. Blake then walked down the ramp with Weiss following her, as she hi-fived fans in the front row. Weiss then patted Blake on the shoulder, and whispered something into her ear, possibly some planning.
"Blake is looking confident as she's heading out here, possibly because of her maybe significant other Yang feeling better than she has for the past couple of months," Bob explained as Blake slid underneath the bottom rope, with her legs split open before she once again kipped back to her feet. The crowd continued to cheer as Blake jumped up to the top rope, and raised both of her fists up in the air with Weiss applauding her friend from the ringside area.
"What did we tell you about spreading unfounded rumors, Bob? Anyway, Blake could also be in a good mood because she has the opportunity for revenge against her opponent tonight," Striker countered as Blake's music stopped as several strums of a guitar could be heard. The crowd started booing as Jiro started walking out of the back, continuing to strum her guitar as she smirked at Blake.
"Now I know that you all want to hear my melodious voice, but unfortunately, my throat is a little sore tonight, and I have a big concert planned for later, so I can't risk my precious vocal cords on a dump like this," Jiro explained as the crowd continued to boo, but started chanting that Jiro sucked as Jiro played a few more strums of her guitar.
"You can say that all you want, but it's never going to be true. Anyway, Blake, I know you're still mad at my victory against you all those weeks ago, but I have to tell you, you're only setting yourself up for more embarrassment when I get down there," Jiro continued before playing a couple of chords on her guitar. Jiro then walked to the ringside area and smirked over in Weiss' direction as she walked up the steel steps and onto the apron.
"Blake, after I beat you tonight, you're little girlfriend Yang is going to be more disappointed in you than she is in her little brain-dead sister," Jiro explained. This set Blake off as she stomped over to Jiro, grabbed her hair, and threw her into the ring. The crowd cheered as Blake grabbed Jiro's guitar, and smashed it on the top of the steel ring post, causing the crowd to cheer louder as Blake levels Jiro with a punch to the side of the face. The referee told the timekeeper to ring the bell as Jiro tried to back away into another corner, but Blake grabbed Jiro by the hair and continued to punch her in the side of the head.
"And those comments setting off Blake, possibly proving my 'unfounded gossip' right, Matt," Bob called out, causing Matt to roll his eyes as Blake continued to stomp away at Jiro while she screamed at the referee to do her job. The referee pulled Blake away from Jiro, who was holding onto the bottom rope, but Blake kicked Jiro in her exposed back a couple of times before once again attempting to pull her to the center of the ring. However, Jiro responded by kicking Blake a couple of times in the side of the face before getting back to his feet, but Blake immediately responded with another hard punch.
"Regardless of Blake's relationship status, she is putting a lot of sauce behind those punches!" Kotoko exclaimed as Blake picked Jiro up, and Irish whipped her into another corner. Blake then ran into the corner, and hit a Running Heel Kick into the corner before throwing Jiro out of the ring, and hitting her with a Short Armed Clothesline. The crowd continued to cheer as Blake picked Jiro back up, and hit her with a couple of Knife-Edge Chops to the chest, but the crowd booed as Jiro poked Blake in the eye.
"And Jiro getting some reprieve thanks to a Greco Roman thumb to the eye!" Striker exclaimed as Jiro put Blake in a Front Facelock, and started clubbing Blake in the back before sending her into the corner. The crowd booed as Jiro started hitting Blake in the side of the face with multiple forearms before transitioning those forearms into a couple of European Uppercuts. However, when Jiro attempted to wring her arm, Blake responded with a couple of forearms of her own to the front of Jiro's face before pushing her away. Blake then ran out of the corner and hit a Jumping Back Elbow to the side of Jiro's face before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2
"Jiro kicking out at the count of 2, but much like Connie earlier tonight, you have to believe she's regretting opening her mouth," Kotoko noted as Blake ran the ropes, and hit a Jumping Leg Drop across Jiro's throat. The crowd started booing as Jiro rolled to the apron, trying to regain her breath, causing Blake to start following her. However, when Blake attempted to pull Jiro into the ring, Jiro hit Blake with a couple of headbutts to the side of the head and then hit a high kick to the side of Blake's head, before jumping back into the ring with the Sunset Flip, attempting to pin Blake. However, Blake was able to counter this into a pin of her own, causing the crowd to cheer.
Ref: 1…2.
Jiro was able to kick out, but before Blake could respond, Jiro pushed Blake's throat into the middle rope. The crowd booed as Jiro started pushing Blake's throat into the middle rope, yelling at her that she was going to lose again before the referee pulled her away from the ropes.
"And Jiro, finally gaining a long-lasting measure of control by sending Blake's throat right into the ropes!" Striker exclaimed as Jiro kicked the middle rope, sending it once again pushing into Blake's throat before rolling her up for a pin.
Ref: 1…2
Jiro grabbed Blake and mounted her with multiple punches to the side of the head before pulling her up by the hair, and kicking her in the chest several times. Jiro then grabbed Blake by the hair and slammed her head into the top turnbuckle several times before turning her around. The crowd booed as she stomped on Blake in the corner before choking her with her foot until the referee once again pulled her out of the corner. Before Blake could get out of the ring, Jiro ran the ropes and hit Blake with a Running Knee to the face before sending her back down with a Snap Vertical Suplex.
"Jiro taking control of this match, slowing the pace down, and showing off her MMA training with these strikes," Kotoko explained as Jiro ran the ropes, and hit Blake in the top of the forehead with a Jumping Knee Drop before going for another pin, hooking both of her legs back.
Ref: 1…2.
"Wow, a musician that practices MMA. Jiro really is a character," Bob laughed as Jiro grabbed Blake by the hair, and kicked her several times in the gut before running the ropes, and nailing Blake with a Big Boot to the side of the head. Blake still stood on her feet, so Jiro knocked her down with a Running Neckbreaker. Jiro then glared at her broken guitar, grabbed Blake by the hair, and dragged her into the corner where the broken pieces of her guitar were. Jiro yelled at Blake that she was going to pay for ruining her guitar before hitting a Jumping Knee Drop to the back of Blake's head before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Jiro loves her music as much as she loves her wrestling, so of course she'd be furious about her guitar getting destroyed," Kotoko explained as Jiro stomped on Blake's back before telling Weiss to watch what she does to Blake. Jiro then hit a Jumping Double Foot Stomp to Blake's back before grabbing Blake's neck and pulling back on it with a Camel Clutch. The crowd booed as Jiro rolled Blake away from the ropes, continuing to hold her in the Camel Clutch. Weiss started pounding on the mat, encouraging the fans to clap and chant for Blake as Jiro yelled at the crowd to shut up.
"Jiro has Blake stuck in the Camel Clutch right in the middle of the ring with nowhere to go!" Striker exclaimed as Blake was able to pull her arm out of Jiro's grasp, and started punching her in the side of the head, causing the crowd to cheer. However, Jiro grabbed Blake's free arm, stomped on that free arm several times, and then transitioned the Camel Clutch into a Bully Choke. Blake then started dragging herself to the ropes, but Jiro was able to roll Blake back to the center of the ring. This didn't last long, as Blake was finally able to drag herself to a side of the ring, grabbing the bottom rope with her left hand, causing the crowd to cheer as the referee forced Jiro to release the hold.
"And finally Blake is able to free herself from Jiro's grasp! But her neck has to be killing her after those submissions," Kotoko explained as Jiro grabbed Blake and quickly attempted to hit her with a Back Suplex, but Blake was able to flip out of it behind her. The crowd cheered as Jiro attempted to hit Blake with a punch, but Blake was able to block Jiro's punch and hit her with multiple open-hand palm strikes to the chest and the face before hitting her with a Spinning Kick to the gut.
"And Blake able to show off her own striking abilities with these palm strikes to the face and chest!" Bob exclaimed as Jiro ran the ropes, and hit a Spinning Heel Kick to the side of the head. The crowd continued to cheer as Blake picked Jiro up, wring her arm, kicked her multiple times in the chest, and hit her with a Jumping Spin Kick to the side of the head. Blake then hit Jiro with a Standing Big Boot to the chest with enough power to send Jiro into the corner. The crowd continued to cheer as Blake ran into the corner and hit a Jumping Clothesline before putting Jiro in a Front Facelock, and hitting her with a Tornado DDT before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Blake almost getting a two count from that Tornado DDT, but Jiro looks like she's not on Planet Earth anymore," Striker exclaimed as Blake ran the ropes, and attempted to hit a Springboard Leg Drop from the middle rope, but Jiro was able to move out of the way. Blake was able to land on her feet, and Jiro responded by pushing Blake down by the leg and attempting to lock her in an Ankle Lock. However, before Jiro could really sink it in, Blake turned around, and pushed Jiro into the ropes, before kipping up and hitting a Rolling Thunder Clothesline onto Jiro.
"Blake preventing Jiro from getting another rough submission hold on her!" Kotoko exclaimed as Blake stomped on Jiro a couple of times before running the ropes, and hit Jiro with a Handspring Moonsault before going for another pinfall.
Ref: 1…2..
Blake pounded on the mat in frustration before grabbing Jiro by the ear, but when Blake attempted to throw Jiro in the corner, Jiro stopped herself by pressing her foot against the middle turnbuckle. Blake attempted to run into the corner, but Jiro kicked Blake in the knee, sending her falling to one knee. The crowd continued to boo as Jiro then jumped up to stomp on both of her hands, sending Blake jumping up, and then Jiro kicked Blake in the side of the head.
"And what a kick to the side of the head by Jiro! Blake looks like she's just been rocked!" Bob exclaimed as Jiro ran the ropes, and knocked Blake on her knees with a Running Knee to the side of the head. Jiro then ran the ropes, attempting another Running Knee to the head, but Blake was able to get up and hit Jiro with the Deep Six, causing the crowd to cheer louder before she went for another pin, hooking both of her legs back.
Ref: 1…2..
"Jiro still able to kick out of that desperation maneuver by Blake!" Bob exclaimed as Blake stomped on Jiro a few times before going up to the top rope. The crowd cheered as Jiro started to wake up as Blake turned around for a Moonsault, but Jiro was quickly able to get back up and grab Blake's legs. Blake turned around and started kicking at Jiro, but Jiro responded by grabbing both of Blake's arms, and hitting her with a Jumping Knee right to the nose, causing the crowd to boo as Jiro started climbing the turnbuckles.
"What does Jiro have planned here!? Jiro's not really known for being a high flyer!" Kotoko exclaimed as Jiro clubbed Blake on the back before putting her in a Gutwrench position, and hitting her with a top rope Gutwrench Suplex, causing the crowd to cheer before Jiro quickly got back to her feet and started climbing up the ropes. The crowd booed as Jiro balanced herself on the top turnbuckle, and then dived off of the top rope to hit Blake in the chest with a Diving Knee Drop before going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"What the hell!? How did Blake roll her shoulder out!? After a top rope Gutwrench Suplex and a Diving Knee Drop, Blake is still in this match!" Striker exclaimed in shock as Jiro started yelling at the referee arguing that she got a three count. Jiro ran her hands through her hair and glared at Weiss who was trying to rally Blake back into this match before grabbing Blake and attempting to lock her in the Silencer (Kirifuda Clutch). Somehow, Blake was able to put her hand in between Jiro's wrist and her neck to keep herself from fully being subjected to the Silencer (Kirifuda Clutch).
"Blake, using what little energy she has left, to smartly keep her from being choked out by the Silencer!" Striker exclaimed as Jiro tried to bite down on Blake's ear, but Blake was able to hit Jiro in the side of the head multiple times with Back Elbows. The crowd cheered as Blake pushed Jiro off of her, going to the ropes while coughing from the lack of oxygen. Jiro growled at Blake before turning around and taking the turnbuckle pad off of the turnbuckle while the referee was checking on Blake.
"And Jiro looks like she's going to use the same strategy she used last time these two faced off, and send Blake into the exposed turnbuckle!" Bob exclaimed as Jiro started running at Blake, grabbing her by the hair, and attempted to throw her into the exposed turnbuckle, but Blake was able to counter, throw Jiro into the exposed turnbuckle, and send Jiro inside out with the Shadow Pounce (Jumping Corkscrew Flying Forearm).
"And Blake able to send Jiro down with the Shadow Pounce! This could be the beginning of the end for the Queen of Song Style!" Kotoko exclaimed as Blake grabbed Jiro by the hair in a Back Suplex position, and then hit her with the Deadly Nightshade (Lumbar Check) before going for the pinfall.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Blake Belladonna!" Tony Chimel announced as Weiss rolled into the ring and helped Blake back up to her feet. The crowd cheered as Blake and Weiss hugged each other before Weiss and the referee raised both of Blake's wrists up. Jiro rolled out of the ring, with her head slightly cut open from getting rammed into the exposed turnbuckle.
"Blake able to outsmart Jiro, and get payback by scoring a huge victory on BTWF Intensity!" Striker exclaimed as Blake jumped up to the top rope, and raised both of her arms in victory as Weiss continued to applaud her. Blake took several deep breaths before continuing to celebrate, taking in the cheers of the sold-out crowd. Meanwhile, on the outside, Jiro had just started to come to her senses, shaking her head, as she heard Blake's music playing and sighed in disappointment.
"Jiro may be disappointed in the loss, but I think she did a great job hanging with Blake in this match, so she should be proud. Plus, she has an upcoming concert to prepare for, so she shouldn't think of herself as a failure," Bob explained as Jiro picked herself up by grabbing onto the top of the announcers' table. Jiro pounded on the top of the announcers' table a couple of times before walking away from the ringside area, glaring at a still celebrating Blake and Weiss.
"She may disagree with you there Bob, but regardless, another great match on Intensity, showing why the BTWF has the best women's division in the Fanfiction Wrestling Multiverse," Kotoko explained as the camera panned to the back while Blake and Weiss were leaving the ring. The camera panned to the backstage interview area, where Kilik Rung was smirking at the camera while shadow-boxing in front of the interviewer, Melissa Shield.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the self-professed Crown Jewel of the Nation of Domination 2.0, Kilik Rung, who will be challenging Rolf to a one-on-one match at the upcoming Christmas Chaos PPV. Now Kilik, I wanted to ask you how you're preparing for someone like Rolf," Melissa asked as Kilik stopped shadow-boxing and just chuckled in Melissa's face.
"Someone like Rolf? I'm preparing just like I do everyone else. Rolf is nobody special to be quite honest with you. He's just someone with a funny accent that the fans want to cheer because they feel sorry for him," Kilik explained as Melissa looked at Kilik with a raised eyebrow before moving the microphone closer to her mouth.
"What do you mean 'feel sorry for him'? He has 2 consecutive one-on-one PPV wins, so it seems like he'd be a challenge for you at Christmas Chaos," Melissa countered as Kilik rolled his eyes before grabbing the microphone.
"A couple of lucky wins don't mean anything when you're taking on the Crown Jewel, so Rolf, your little good luck streak is gonna run out at Christmas Chaos," Kilik said before backing away slightly as Rolf came walking towards him. Rolf grabbed the microphone out of Kilik's hand before glaring at him.
"Rolf doesn't believe in luck. Luck is for those who do not know the value of hard work. Kilik, you are the one who is going to need luck at Christmas Chaos," Rolf said before giving the microphone back to Melissa, and leaving the backstage interview area. Kilik glared at Rolf's disappearing frame before the camera panned back to the stage, just as 'Sssnakepit' by Enter Shikari played, causing the crowd to cheer as Kurt Bale came running out of the back with a glare on his face.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, from Tom's River New Jersey, he is 'the Perfect Irishman' Kurt Bale!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued to cheer while Bale gave several fans hi-fives. Bale continued making his way to the ring as he told the camera that at Christmas Chaos, Team NWO was going down in the Lethal Lockdown cage.
"Bale has been friends with Midoriya since they both stepped foot in the BTWF, but his problems with the NWO started at Trouble in Tokyo," Bob explained as Bale went to the ringside area. Bale then gave the camera the slit throat taunt, causing the crowd to cheer as Bale ran up to the steel ring steps before jumping up to the top rope. Bale outstretched both of his arms before jumping down into the ring before jumping once again into the middle of the ring.
"That's right, Mercury and the rest of the NWO beat him down before the X-Scape match, taking his spot in the match for the Cruiserweight Championship," Striker explained as Bale went into the corner, yelling at Mercury to get out here, as 'MANTRA' by Bring Me the Horizon played. The crowd booed as Mercury came out with Jellal by his side, with the two fist-bumping on the center of the stage as the two of them started making their way to the ring.
"And his opponent, accompanied to the ring by 'the Galaxy' Jellal Fernandez and representing the NWO, he is Mercury Black!" Tony Chimel announced as Mercury and Jellal faked being scared of Bale before continuing to make their way to the ring. Mercury even faked a couple of hi-fives with several fans before talking with Jellal about strategy for the match. Bale walked over to the ropes and told Mercury to get into the ring already before he walked out of the ring and dragged him in the ring.
"Bale doesn't want to waste any time, he wants Mercury inside of the ring right now!" Kotoko exclaimed as Mercury told Bale to calm down while Jellal told the referee to back Bale away from the ropes. The referee obliged and backed Bale away from the ropes before Mercury gave Jellal one last hi-five before rolling into the ring from underneath the bottom rope as Mercury goes to the center of the ring, and outstretched his arms before taking off his hoodie and throwing it at Bale.
"Mercury continuing to antagonize the Perfect Irishman, as Mercury tries to build more momentum for the NWO," Bob explained as the referee made sure both men were ready before telling the timekeeper to start the match, causing the crowd to cheer. Bale and Mercury immediately went to the center of the ring, and locked up in the middle of the ring, trying to push each other into the corner. However, Mercury kneed Bale in the gut, causing the crowd to boo before hitting Bale with multiple Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before throwing him into the ropes. However, when Mercury attempted to hit Bale with a Back Elbow, Bale was able to send Mercury down with an Arm Drag and locked him in an armbar.
"Bale with an armbar on Mercury, trying to prevent Mercury from flying around the ring," Striker explained as Mercury got back to his feet, and started hitting Bale in the side of the head with multiple forearms, but Bale was able to send Mercury down with a Scoop Slam. The crowd cheered as Bale stomped on Mercury's gut a couple of times before running the ropes, and hitting Mercury in the side of the head with the Running Big Boot before hitting Mercury in the face with a Jumping Fist Drop before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…
"Mercury kicking out at one, but still looks a bit dazed from that Jumping Fist Drop," Bob explained as Bale picked Mercury up, and started punching him in the face several times before Mercury tried to create separation with a massive kick to the gut. Mercury then attempted to throw Bale into the corner, but Bale landed on the second turnbuckle, and hit Mercury with a Diving Middle Rope Double Ax Handle, causing the crowd to cheer as Bale sent Mercury out of the ring with a big Enziguri to the side of the head.
"And Bale sending Mercury out of the ring with a powerful Enziguri! But he's right in front of Jellal too, so Bale's going to have to be careful!" Striker exclaimed as Bale glared at Jellal, who stepped in front of a still downed Mercury, trying to protect him. Bale then looked at the top rope, and then the cheering fans, before shrugging, and climbing up to the top rope, and before Jellal had a chance to react, Bale dived off of the top rope to hit a Cannonball Senton, knocking both Jellal and Mercury down.
"And Bale taking both members of the NWO down with the Senton off of the top rope!" Bob exclaimed as the crowd cheered and chanted 'Bale!' as he grabbed Mercury by the hair, and threw him into the ring. Bale then climbed up onto the apron and springboarded back into the ring with a Leg Drop across Mercury's throat before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
Bale immediately grabbed Mercury by the hair, and punched him several times in the head before running the ropes, and attempting to hit a Shining Wizard. However, Mercury was able to dodge, but when he attempted to hit a neckbreaker on Bale, Bale countered with his own neckbreaker. The crowd continued to cheer as Bale picked Mercury up in a Fireman's Carry position and attempted to hit him with the Ushigaroshi, but Mercury was able to hit Bale in the side of the head with several elbows, allowing him to escape the hold.
"And Mercury able to escape the Ushigaroshi attempt, keeping him alive in this match for just a little bit longer," Kotoko explained as Mercury attempted to hit Bale in the back of the head with a Dropkick, but Bale was able to duck, and knock Mercury down with a Reverse STO before picking him back up, and knocking him down with a regular STO. The crowd continued to cheer as Bale ran the ropes and hit a Jumping Knee Drop onto Mercury's face before mounting him and hitting him with multiple punches to the side of the head.
"Mercury now feeling the aggression and frustration that Bale felt when Mercury and the NWO cost Bale another opportunity at the Cruiserweight Championship!" Striker exclaimed as Bale was pulled off of Mercury by the referee, but Bale responded by repeatedly stomping on Mercury's chest before the referee once again pulled him away. However, when the referee went to check on Mercury, Jellal grabbed Bale's leg and tripped him up, causing Bale to get mad and chase Jellal outside of the ring.
"And the NWO's old tactic of distractions is paying off, as Bale is out of the ring chasing Jellal around the ringside area!" Kotoko exclaimed as Bale grabbed Jellal by the hair when he got to the front of the announcers' table. However, while Bale was distracted, Mercury was able to get back to his feet, run the ropes, and hit Bale with a Suicide Dive, freeing Jellal from Bale's grasp. The crowd booed as Mercury grabbed Bale by the hair, and started punching him in the side of the head before telling the crowd to bow down to the NWO.
"Mercury taking Bale down with a Suicide Dive, saving Jellal from a possible beatdown by Bale!" Kotoko exclaimed as Mercury grabbed Bale in a Suplex position, and hit him with a Gourdbuster that sent his chest onto the announcers' table. The crowd continued to boo as Mercury grabbed Bale's head, and slammed his head into the top of the announcers' table multiple times while the referee started counting the men out.
Ref: 1…2…3
"Mercury has to keep his attention on the referee's count, even though he is doing a good job of beating down Bale with what he can find on the outside," Bob explained as Mercury grabbed Bale by the hair, and threw him off of the announcers' table. Mercury then started stomping on Bale's back before throwing him back into the ring. Mercury and Jellal then gave each other a hi-five before rolling back into the ring and hitting Bale in the back with a Jumping Knee Drop. Mercury then jumped back up and hit another Knee Drop to Bale's back before rolling him over into a pin.
Ref: 1…2
"And look at that, Mercury took your advice Bob, but only got a two count with a follow-up pin," Kotoko explained as Mercury grabbed Bale by the beard, and started hitting him with several forearms to the side of Bale's face before pushing him into the corner. Mercury then hit Bale with multiple punches to the face before running the ropes and hitting Bale in the face with a Running Forearm. Mercury then threw Bale out of the corner with a Money Flip before going onto the second rope and hit a seated Bale in the back with a Second Rope Missile Dropkick.
"Very nice dropkick to Bale's back by Mercury, keeping Bale down on the mat while showing off his own high-flying abilities," Bob explained as Mercury grabbed Bale and put him the Fireman's Carry, before hitting Bale with his own Ushigaroshi. However, rather than go for a pin, Mercury ran the ropes and hit Bale in the face with a Sliding Knee to the face before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Bale barely kicking out there, but you can see his nose starting to bleed there, which can negatively affect his breathing," Striker noted as Mercury ran the ropes, and hit a Basement Slide Dropkick to Bale's face. Mercury then picked Bale up in a Front Facelock and then dragged him into the corner before clubbing him in the back. Mercury then climbed up to the middle turnbuckle, and hit Bale with a Tornado DDT before picking him up in a Vertical Suplex position, and hit Bale with a Suplex Neckbreaker.
"Mercury not giving Bale a second to react, as he takes Bale down with a Tornado DDT and a Suplex Neckbreaker!" Kotoko exclaimed as Mercury hit several pinpoint elbows onto Bale's face, causing his nose to bleed even more. Mercury then grabbed Bale by the hair, and put him in a Dragon Sleeper, causing the crowd to boo as Bale quickly tried to drag himself to the ropes. However, Mercury was able to drag Bale back to the center of the ring, briefly letting go of the Dragon Sleeper to ram multiple elbows to the shoulder and head of Bale, before putting him right back in the Dragon Sleeper.
"Mercury trying to either make Bale tap or make Bale pass out with a Dragon Sleeper!" Bob exclaimed as Bale started to fade as Jellal was seemingly the only person in the audience trying to applaud Mercury and cheer him on. However, when the referee grabbed Bale's wrist, attempting to check whether or not he was passed out, Bale kept his wrist up and attempted to stand himself back up. However, Mercury hit multiple elbows to the small of Bale's back before throwing him back down with the Dragon Sleeper.
"Bale may be trying to keep himself in this, but with how tight that Dragon Sleeper is, Kurt may not have much fight left!" Striker exclaimed as Bale did start getting back to his feet, and much to the crowd's delight, Bale started punching Mercury in the gut multiple times, causing Mercury to jump back. Mercury attempted to hit a Knee Lift to Bale's face, but Bale was able to dodge, and hit Mercury with a Backstabber, causing the crowd to cheer louder as both men were down. Jellal tried to pound on the mat to cheer Mercury back on, but both men staggered back to their feet at about the same time.
"Both men are back on their feet, and glaring at each other with such intensity, giving us a preview of what may happen at Lethal Lockdown!" Bob exclaimed as Bale and Mercury exchanged punches when they both got back on their feet. However, Bale was able to win this brawl by hitting Mercury in the side of the face with Open Palm Strikes before running the ropes and knocking Mercury down with a Clothesline. The crowd cheered as Bale ran the ropes, and hit Mercury with two more Clotheslines, a Running Knee to the gut, a Russian Legsweep, and then ran the ropes to hit a Jumping Leg Drop across Mercury's throat.
"And Bale finally getting some momentum back on his side, knocking Mercury down on his back!" Kotoko exclaimed as Bale picked Mercury up, and then ran the ropes to hit him with a Shining Wizard before going for the pinfall.

Bale pounded on the mat in frustration before picking Mercury up, hitting him with several punches and knees to the gut. Bale then put Mercury in a Fireman's Carry position, with Mercury attempting to escape the maneuver. When Bale noticed this, Bale hit Mercury with a Rolling Fireman's Carry Slam before jumping onto the second rope and hitting Mercury in the chest with a Moonsault. Rather than go for the pin, Bale jumped back onto the second rope and hit a Springboard Leg Drop across Mercury's throat before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Bale almost getting the pin there, but we have to give credit to Mercury for kicking out of that flurry of offense," Kotoko explained as Bale grabbed Mercury by the hair, and attempted to hit him with the Ushigaroshi again. However, Mercury was once again able to escape by raking Bale's eyes. Mercury landed on his feet behind Bale and hit a dropkick to the back of Bale's head that was hard enough to send him into the corner. Mercury then went into the corner, and hit a Jumping Clothesline to the back of Bale's head before picking him up in an Argentine Backbreaker position, and hitting him with an Argentine Powerbomb.
"And Mercury once again able to take Bale down with that unique Powerbomb!" Bob exclaimed as Mercury pinned Bale once again, hooking both of his legs back.
Ref: 1…2..
Bale kicked out, and Mercury responded by stomping on Bale's chest multiple times before going back up to the top rope. The crowd booed as Mercury and Jellal gave each other an air hi-five before attempting to hit Bale with the Spiral Tap. However, Bale was able to get his knees up, causing the crowd to cheer as Mercury crawled to the ropes with his hand over his back. Bale got back to his feet and ran the ropes to hit Mercury in the back of the head with the Irish Kiss (Bicycle Running Knee Strike).
"And Bale with a vicious knee strike right to the back of the head! Mercury's eyes just rolled to the back of his head!" Striker exclaimed as Mercury staggered back to his feet, but Bale responded by running the ropes and hitting Mercury in the face with another Irish Kiss (Bicycle Running Knee Strike) before going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2..
Jellal put Mercury's foot on the bottom rope, causing the crowd to boo as the referee broke the count.
"And Jellal taking advantage of the referee focusing on the pin and putting Mercury's foot on the rope!" Kotoko exclaimed as Bale glared at Jellal, who flipped him off in response. Bale chuckled at him before hitting Jellal in the side of the head with a Baseball Slide Dropkick, causing the crowd to cheer as Bale grabbed Mercury by the hair, but Mercury pushed Bale's arm away and hit him in the face with a Pele Kick. The crowd booed as Mercury then jumped onto the apron and Springboarded back into the ring with a Phenomenal Forearm.
"And Mercury nearly turning Bale inside out with the Phenomenal Forearm, thanks to the distraction by Jellal!" Striker exclaimed as Mercury picked Bale up, and hit him with the Styles Clash before going for the pin.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, representing the NWO, Mercury Black!" Tony Chimel announced as Mercury rolled out of the ring, and picked Jellal up off of the ground. The crowd continued to boo as Jellal and Mercury hugged each other while Bale grabbed his neck and head in pain. Mercury and Jellal looked at the booing fans and faked crying at them while they continued to celebrate outside of the ring.
"And Mercury able to pick up more momentum for the NWO with this victory over Team Midoriya's Kurt Bale!" Kotoko exclaimed as Bale grabbed the middle rope, and started pulling himself back onto his feet. Mercury and Jellal continued to laugh at Bale as Jellal told the camera that this was only the beginning for the NWO. Mercury responded by nodding and telling Team Midoriya that they were going to get humiliated and go down at Christmas Chaos.
"This win giving Mercury and Jellal, both men who will be involved in the Lethal Lockdown match, a lot of confidence heading into the PPV!" Striker exclaimed as the crowd continued to boo as Bale got back to his feet, and yelled at both Jellal and Mercury as he held the back of his head in pain. While gritting his teeth in pain, Bale yelled at Jellal and Mercury that Team Midoriya was going to get the last laugh at Christmas Chaos.
"Kurt's confidence in his team is still high as well, as he believes that Team Midoriya is going to win at the PPV!" Bob exclaimed as the camera panned to the back, where Chika Fujiwara was standing next to Lucy Heartfilia and the rest of the Conglomerate (Tohru Kobayashi, Patty & Liz Thompson, and Onslaught) in the backstage interview area.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the Lucy Heartfilia and her group the Conglomerate, who will be battling Sue, Maka Albarn, Winry Rockbell, and the new BTWF W-!" Chika began before Lucy pushed the microphone away from Chika's mouth.
"Do NOT mention the woman who STOLE my belt! Luna is simply walking around with my belt because she got lucky at Trouble in Tokyo!" Lucy exclaimed as Patty started rubbing her shoulders to calm her down.
"Well, I just wanted to get your thoughts on having this match tonight when you're going to be facing Lun—the BTWF Women's Champion in a Last Woman Standing match at the PPV per your victory in the Beat the Clock challenge two weeks ago," Chika responded as Lucy patted Patty's hands, indicating that she could stop the massage now.
"This is to show Luna what she's in for at the PPV. I know that these people may think that I don't like to get my hands dirty because I'm richer than they'll ever be, but that's simply not true. Look at what I did to Luna at Bash at the Beach, or to Juvia at New Horizons. I can get violent too, and I don't think that Luna realizes that I am willing to do almost anything to get my championship back!" Lucy exclaimed before BTWF Women's Champion 'Amazing' Luna Collins came walking up to them.
"You have it all wrong Lucy. I fully believe that you're sick enough to survive this Last Woman Standing match. The problem is that your attack on me all those months ago and the attack on my father made me realize that I was too nice back then, and I needed to get sicker, and more aggressive," Luna explained as Lucy raised an eyebrow, and chuckled as she looked over at the BTWF Women's Championship.
"Well you can get as sick and aggressive as you want, but let me promise you something; that BTWF Women's Championship is going to come back home to where it belongs," Lucy explained before she snapped her fingers, and turned around. The rest of the Conglomerate smirked or glared at Luna before walking off with Lucy. Luna smirked at Lucy's leaving frame before patting the BTWF Women's Championship and leaving the backstage interview area as the camera panned to a commercial break.
*Commercial Break*
*Commercial Over*
The camera panned back to the locker room, where Brandish Myu was sitting and posing on the bench while Marin Hollow was taking pictures on his cell phone.
"Brandish, these newest photos are A+ quality!" Marin complimented before stopping his picture taking and getting on the Instagram and Twitter apps.
"They usually are Marin. How's my follower count doing?" Brandish asked as she started stretching as Marin turned his phone so that Brandish could see it.
"They're all going up. Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, they're all on the rise. And your latest batch of photos just got uploaded, so they're only going to get higher!" Marin exclaimed as Brandish looked at the phone screen and nodded with a small smile forming on her face.
"Excellent, my recent matches on BTWF TV seems to have helped a lot. But Marin, this is only the beginning, because once I win the BTWF Women's Championship, my follower count is going to skyrocket," Brandish responded, causing Marin to nod his head quickly before taking his phone back and putting it in his pocket.
"Exactly right, Brandish, but for now, let's break for dinner," Marin offered, putting the phone back in his pocket. Brandish nodded before getting up from the bench, and stretching before walking up to Marin.
"That sounds perfect. Being an influencer like I am can get exhausting," Brandish said as she was continuing to stretch. Marin nodded as he and Brandish left the locker room and headed to catering before the camera panned to the stage, where 'Don't Stop' by InnerPartySystem played, causing the crowd to boo as a white limousine came out of the side of the stage, and continued to drive until it got closer to the stage. When the limo stopped, the driver got out and headed to the back, where he opened the back door of the limo, revealing Lucy Heartfilia and the Conglomerate sans Onslaught coming out of the limousine.
"The following contest is an 8 woman tag team match, scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, the team of Tohru Kobayashi, Patty & Liz Thompson, and Lucy Heartfilia, the Conglomerate!" Tony Chimel announced, causing the crowd to boo loudly as Lucy jumped onto the stage with the rest of the Conglomerate following her. Lucy then stretched her arms out, causing a rain of golden pyro to shoot out from the ceiling.
"Lucy Heartfilia and the Conglomerate have one mission; to get Lucy the BTWF Women's Championship back!" Striker exclaimed as Lucy stopped Liz, Patty, and Tohru at the base of the stage, telling them the plan in the match. The crowd continued to boo and throw trash at the Conglomerate as they continued to make their way to the ring. Patty grabbed some of the trash being thrown, and threw it back into the crowd, causing the crowd to boo louder and throw even more garbage at them.
"The crowd making their feelings about the Conglomerate very clear, trying to use the women walking to the ring as trash cans!" Kotoko exclaimed as Lucy glared at the crowd, and told them that the trash only reminds her of the fans in attendance. The crowd continued their loud booing as Lucy, Patty, Liz, and Tohru walked into the ring through the ropes before stopping at the center of the ring. Lucy then knelt down on both knees and stretched her arms out again while Patty and Liz did the Impact Players pose, and Tohru flexed her muscles while golden pyro once again rained down on them.
"Lucy picked the stipulation of a Last Woman Standing match at Christmas Chaos for her BTWF Women's Championship rematch," Bob explained as Lucy, Patty, Liz, and Tohru went into the corner, and continued to discuss the plans for the match. While they were, 'Bulletproof' by Diamante played, causing the crowd to cheer loudly as Luna came out of the back with the BTWF Women's Championship around her waist. Sue, Maka, and Winry came out of the back as well, giving each other fist bumps before nodding at each other and heading down the entrance ramp.
"And their opponents, the team of Sue, Maka Albarn, Winry Rockbell, and the BTWF Women's Champion, 'Amazing' Luna Collins!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued to cheer loudly as Luna and Sue hi-fived fans on their way to the ring, while Maka and Winry raised their pointer fingers up, with Maka also raising her middle finger, making a peace sign. Maka and Winry stomped down the aisle as Winry briefly used her free hand to massage her right cheek before stopping at the ringside area.
"And you can see there, Winry still feeling the effects of Kazuma's running Kazuma Kick," Kotoko noted in disgust as Winry and Maka fist-bumped each other before sliding into the ring from underneath the bottom rope. Meanwhile, Luna jumped onto the top of the steel steps and flipped over the top rope before landing in the center of the ring, taking the BTWF Women's Championship off of around her waist. The crowd exploded into cheers as Luna raised it over her head as she turned around and glared at Lucy, who was yelling at Luna that the championship was hers. Sue also tried to square up to Lucy, but the referee pushed her back, telling her to wait until the match started.
"Lucy has not been making many friends outside of the Conglomerate, as the BTWF Women's Champion Luna Collins and the recently returning Sue all want a piece of her," Kotoko explained as the referee separated each team, and when she was sure that the teams were ready, she told the timekeeper to ring the bell and start the match. When the bell rang, Winry Rockbell and Liz Thompson started the match by locking up in the middle of the ring. The two tried to push each other around, but Winry was able to win this by taking Liz down with a Headlock Takedown.
"Winry getting an early advantage, taking Liz down with a tight side headlock," Striker narrated as Winry continued to squeeze the hold in tighter. Liz stomped on Winry's right foot a couple of times, before setting her down with a Snapmare, before putting her in a headlock of her own, causing the crowd to boo. Lucy and the rest of the Conglomerate yelled at Winry to spare herself the embarrassment and just give up. However, Winry was able to get back to her feet, hit Liz with a couple of punches to the gut, and then grabbed her arm, starting to wring it. The crowd cheered as Winry, while continuing to wring Liz's arm, threw her back down to the ground, and attempted to take her down with an arm drag, but Liz was able to land on her feet and send Winry down with an arm drag.
"These two women in the ring are on equal footing right now, but you have to believe that it's only a matter of time before one of them takes the advantage," Kotoko explained as Winry got back to her feet, and sent Liz down with an arm drag. However, before Liz could get back to her feet, Winry hit multiple Knife-Edge Chops to Liz's back before picking her back up and hitting her with a couple of headbutts before throwing her into the corner. The crowd continued to cheer as Winry ran into the corner, and hit a Running Knee to the front of the face before tagging Maka into the match. Winry took Liz down with a Vertical Suplex, allowing Maka to springboard into the ring with an Elbow Drop.
"Well looks like you got it right, Kotoko, as Winry and Maka have taken control of the Conglomerate," Bob responded as Maka picked Winry up, and hit her with multiple forearms to the side of the head before jumping up and hitting her with a Frankensteiner before rolling her up into a pin.

Maka picked Liz up, but Liz hit Maka with a Jawbreaker, causing the crowd to boo before running into her corner and tagging Patty into the match. Patty ran into the ring, but Maka hit her with several Japanese Arm Drags before taking her down with a Discus Punch. The crowd continued to cheer as Maka put Patty in a headlock, and tagged Sue into the match, allowing Sue to hit multiple punches to Patty's gut. The crowd continued to cheer as Sue ran the ropes, and hit a Big Boot to Patty's head, sending her falling to the mat.
"And now we have Sue in the ring! She lost her comeback match to Lucy last week, so this is a chance at redemption!" Kotoko exclaimed as Sue threw Patty into the corner, and started hitting her with multiple Standing Corner Clotheslines. Sue then ran the ropes, flipped Lucy off, and then hit a Running Clothesline onto Patty. The crowd continued to cheer as Sue grabbed Patty and then hit her with a Spinning Uranage, but before Sue could go for the pin, Liz pulled Sue by the hair, distracting her long enough for Patty to roll away from Sue.
"And Liz, with a handful of Sue's hair! And she's pulling on it like she's a thief with an old lady's purse!" Striker exclaimed as Sue hit Liz in the face with multiple Knife-Edge Uppercuts to the face, sending Liz falling off of the apron. Patty attempted to run at Sue, but Sue countered with a couple of back elbows before sending her down with a Scoop Slam. Sue then hit a Jumping Elbow Drop onto Patty's chest, but before she could go for the pin, Tohru grabbed Sue's legs and pulled her out of the ring, causing Sue to start exchanging punches with Tohru.
"Tohru now getting involved, pulling Sue right out of the ring to prevent a cover!" Bob exclaimed as Sue grabbed Tohru, and threw her into the announcers' table. However, the crowd booed as Patty hit Sue in the side of the head with a Baseball Slide to the back of the head. The crowd continued to boo as Patty clubbed Sue in the back, and threw her back into the ring. Patty followed her back into the ring, and tagged Lucy back into the match, causing the crowd to boo louder as she walked into the ring and started stomping on Sue's back while Luna glared at her Christmas Chaos opponent.
"Lucy getting into this match for the first time once she was sure that Sue was down and couldn't fight back," Kotoko explained as Lucy grabbed Sue by the hair, and slapped her in the back of the head a couple of times before hitting her with a Jumping Double Foot Stomp to Sue's back. Lucy then ran the ropes and hit a Jumping Knee Drop before tagging Tohru into the match, and when Tohru got into the ring, she and Lucy knocked Sue back down to the ground with a Double Vertical Suplex. Tohru then hit a Jumping Body Press at the same time Lucy hit another Jumping Knee Drop onto Sue before going for a pinfall.

The crowd continued to boo as Tohru picked Sue up and held her arms behind her back, allowing Liz to hit kicks to the exposed chest of Sue.
"The Conglomerate working like a well-oiled machine here, making sure that Sue is nowhere near her partners!" Kotoko exclaimed as Liz continued to kick Sue in the gut before hitting her with a Standing Enziguri. Sue continued to stand, as Liz ran the ropes, and knocked Sue down with a Running Chest Kick before hitting a seated Sue with a Dropkick to the back of the head and went for the pinfall.

Liz then grabbed Sue by the hair, and kicked her several times in the back before running the ropes, tagging Patty into the match, and hitting a seated Sue with a Running Penalty Kick. Liz then picked Patty up in a Wheelbarrow position and sent her crashing down into Sue's chest before the sisters ran the ropes, and hit a Jumping Leg Drop/Boom Drop combination. Patty put Sue on her knees and started clubbing her in the back as Lucy and Tohru applauded the effort of the Thompson sisters.
"Patty is back in the ring, and is bringing the fight to Sue with some hard clubs to the back!" Striker exclaimed as Sue started punching Patty in the side of the face and gut, causing the crowd to cheer as Patty hit a quick knee strike to the side of Sue's head. The crowd booed as Patty ran the ropes, and hit Sue in the face with a Spinning Wheel Kick before going for a pinfall.
Ref: 1…2.
Patty jumped back to her feet, ran into the other corner, and slapped Winry in the face, causing the crowd to boo as Winry attempted to rush into the ring to get at Patty. However, the referee intervened and tried to push her back into her apron, but while the referee was distracted Lucy, Liz, and Tohru ran into the ring and started stomping on Sue. The crowd booed louder as Patty mocked Maka and Luna while they tried to tell the referee what was going on.
"Some excellent tag team strategy by the Conglomerate, taking advantage of the distracted referee to inflict more damage onto Sue!" Bob exclaimed as the Conglomerate left Patty alone in the ring with Sue before Patty brought Sue back onto her knees like before, and hit her with a Snap DDT before going for another pin.

However, the crowd cheered as Sue hit a diving Patty with a mid-air Superwoman Punch to the face, sending Patty flying out of the ring.
"Wow! What a counter by Sue, sending Patty flying out of the ring!" Kotoko exclaimed as Liz immediately jumped down from the apron, and picked Patty back up as Sue started crawling to her corner. Liz was able to pick Patty up and throw her back into the ring, and when that happened, Lucy knelt forward and tagged Patty to get back into the match. However, the crowd exploded as Sue tagged Luna into the match, causing Lucy's eyes to nearly bulge out of her head as she refused to escape her corner.
"And Lucy Heartfilia may be eating her words from earlier as she refuses to get out of her corner!" Striker exclaimed as before Lucy could think about tagging out, Luna ran into the corner and hit a Running Double Knee Strike onto Lucy's face.
"Well, that doesn't matter Matt, because Luna's going to force her into this match!" Kotoko responded as Luna sent Lucy down with a Running Snapmare, and then kicked her in the chest.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, the team of Sue, Maka Albarn, Winry Rockbell, and the BTWF Women's Champion, 'Amazing' Luna Collins!" Tony Chimel announced as the referee raised a downed Luna's wrist up in victory. Lucy looked up in shock while holding her head in pain as she rolled out of the ring, and kicked the side of the steel steps in frustration. However, before Luna could celebrate her victory, Lucy grabbed Luna's leg, and pulled her out of the ring, causing the crowd to boo as Lucy threw Luna into the side of the steel steps.
"And Lucy not taking this loss really well, as she sends Luna right into the steel steps!"

Lucy grabbed Luna and continued punching her in the side of the head before dragging her to the announcers' table.
"Lucy has something on her mind, and it involves our announcers' table!" Bob warned as he, Striker, and Kotoko backed away with their headsets still on as Lucy climbed up onto the announcers' table, and grabbed Luna by the hair while pulling her up on the table with her. Sue attempted to save Luna herself, but Tohru grabbed Luna's BTWF Women's Championship belt and smacked it right into Sue's face. Lucy smirked at the booing fans before putting Luna in position for the Celestial DDT (Hammerlock DDT). Luna tried to pull out of it, but Lucy hit Luna with the Celestial DDT (Hammerlock DDT) onto the top of the announcers' table before Lucy pushed Luna off of the table with her feet.
"Lucy with a Celestial DDT right into the top of the announcers' table, and Luna is completely out of it!" Kotoko exclaimed as Lucy told Tohru to bring her the BTWF Women's Championship. Tohru did what she was told, and Lucy grabbed the championship belt, put it over her shoulder before she began counting to '10' with her hands. Luna continued to try and get back to her feet as Luna got right up to '10', where Luna got back on her feet and from the announcers' table, raised the BTWF Women's Championship over her head.
"This is what Lucy wanted; to show everyone what she plans on doing to Luna at Christmas Chaos, and to show that Luna's surprise pinfall on her earlier isn't going to be enough to retain her championship at Christmas Chaos!" Striker exclaimed as Lucy jumped off of the announcers' table, patted Tohru on the back, and threw the title back down onto Luna's chest, telling her that she only had another week to enjoy her championship.
"It's only fitting that the final chapter of this feud will be written at our December PPV!" Kotoko exclaimed as Lucy and the rest of the Conglomerate (Tohru Kobayashi, Liz, and Patty Thompson) left the ringside area, leaving Luna to be tended to by Maka, Winry, and Sue. The camera panned to the backstage area as Sue and Maka helped Luna back to her feet while Winry helped give Luna her BTWF Women's Championship belt back. The camera panned to the locker room, where Katsuki Bakugo was in the back with the rest of the NWO, patting Mercury and Jellal on the back.
"Guys, I don't give compliments out a lot, but you, Jellal, Corvus, and Kite did a great job tonight! The NWO is getting their momentum back, and by the end of the year, not only are we going to destroy Deku's team of Losers, but I'm also going to get the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship back around my waist!" Bakugo exclaimed to Mercury as he patted Pete on the back hard as Tsubaki rubbed his arm affectionately while Kite was polishing both of their BTWF Tag Team Championship belts.
"Now, you guys take a break, and watch me tear down Zancrow with my words before I tear him down physically at Christmas Chaos and get my World Heavyweight Championship back!" Bakugo exclaimed before throwing a water bottle into Mercury's hands and leaving the locker room. The camera then panned to a sidewalk near the arena, where Floch Forester came walking out of a building, with his hands in his black leather jacket.
"Man, you know people always tell me that I need to see the good in everyone. I always thought that was completely stupid. Everyone is a piece of shit on the inside, no matter how good they make themselves out to be on the outside," Floch explained as he grabbed a coin from the pocket of his jacket. Floch then started flipping the coin before bumping into someone, and despite this, was still able to catch the coin. The person he bumped into merely flipped him off before leaving, causing Floch to smirk.
"See? What did I tell you? That woman's probably a mother that puts on some fake smile to her kids and husband, and here she is flipping off a complete stranger like me," Floch explained before Floch flipped his coin higher into the air, and caught it between his pointer finger and thumb.
"That's why I know I'm a better person than her and a lot of other wrestlers here in the BTWF; I'm honest about how much of a piece of shit that I am. I've heard so many people call me the 'Scum of the Earth' and I would always tell them 'Thank you'," Floch said before putting the coin back in his pocket before crossing his pointer and middle fingers together.
"When I come to the BTWF, I'm going to be the realest guy in the room, because I'm not going to pretend to be a nice guy and smile for a bunch of loser fans. I'm in this for myself and only myself, and if you don't like it, then you all can kiss my ass," Floch explained as the camera panned away as Floch smirked at the camera. The camera then panned to the stage as 'Way of the Fist' by Five Finger Death Punch played with Katsuki Bakugo coming down to the ring with a microphone in his hand.
"Bakugo seems to be in a good mood tonight since the NWO scored two big wins on the night," Striker explained as Bakugo flipped off a couple of booing fans before walking up the steel steps and into the ring. Bakugo then got into the middle of the ring, and raised the microphone in the air, causing the boos to become more audible. Bakugo smirked and rolled his eyes at the booing crowd before twirling the microphone in between his fingers before he began speaking.
"Now, as we all saw here today, I'm in a really good mood today. The NWO is showing the BTWF why we're still the most dominant faction in the entire company. However, Zancrow is still running around with my BTWF World Heavyweight Championship, and unless he wants me to come back there and kick the shit out of him, he better come out here right now," Bakugo explained, causing the crowd to boo louder as Bakugo looked on at the stage, where nothing happened. Bakugo looked at the booing fans and laughed at them as he turned around and continued to talk.
"That's what I thought! I always told people that Zancrow was just some loser posing as some washed-up old wrestler just to make himself seem cool! I don't need to copy a has been to make myself a star, I took over this company in less than half a year! And if you think that Zancrow is going to stop me and usurp me as the head of Intensity, then you're all a bunch of fucking idiots!" Bakugo exclaimed as the lights in the arena started flickering on and off, before the lights in the arena faded to purple, causing the crowd to explode as Zancrow appeared in the middle of the ring with the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship around his waist. Bakugo started yelling at Zancrow, but Zancrow responded by grabbing the microphone out of Bakugo's hands before he began speaking.
"Bakugo, I have heard you go on and on about how I am nothing more than a carbon copy, and that I am not on your level. I did find that really funny, because every time I have come near you, you have backed away," Zancrow explained as Bakugo raised his eyebrow, and started yelling at Zancrow, who just continued to glare at him.
"Every time I have come near me, you have either escaped your destruction or talked when I was not around. Bakugo, the more I hear you talk, the more I believe that Izuku Midoriya was right about you," Zancrow said before Bakugo looked up at Zancrow with a raised eyebrow before telling Tony Chimel to give him a microphone. Tony obliged before Bakugo continued to glare at Zancrow as he spoke.
"What the hell do you mean by that?" Bakugo asked before Zancrow responded.
"I remember Izuku Midoriya calling you a coward. Someone whose egotism, narcissism, and anger are nothing but a shield from your fear. You have no championship, your power within the BTWF has decreased, and your minions are succeeding more than you are. Deep down, you're afraid that you're going to fail again," Zancrow said. The crowd booed as Bakugo immediately hit Zancrow in the side of the head with the microphone, sending Zancrow falling onto one knee. The crowd continued to boo as Bakugo continued to hit Zancrow in the back of the head with the microphone.
"A coward!? Funny, because you're the fucking extra on the ground right now!" Bakugo exclaimed before mounting on Zancrow and continued hitting Zancrow with the microphone, causing Zancrow to start bleeding from the top of his head. A couple of security guards tried to get into the ring, but Bakugo knocked them both down with punches to the side of the head before grabbing Zancrow's legs and putting him in an Indian Deathlock. Several more security guards came rushing down to the ring, and they started pulling Bakugo off of him.
"Security is trying to get Bakugo off of Zancrow even after he had knocked down a couple of other security guards!" Striker exclaimed as, after a couple of moments, the security guards were finally able to pull Bakugo off of Zancrow. Bakugo immediately tried to stomp on Zancrow's legs and back multiple times, but security pulled him off of Zancrow and dragged him out of the ring as the security guards Bakugo had attacked stayed in the ring to check on Zancrow, who was continuing to lose blood.
"Bakugo trying to show Zancrow that he's no coward, but I think he only succeeded in making Zancrow furious!" Kotoko exclaimed as Zancrow staggered back to his feet, causing the crowd to cheer as Zancrow grabbed the ropes to try and keep himself still. Zancrow grabbed his BTWF World Heavyweight Championship, glared at the camera, and told the fans at home that Bakugo had signed his death wish at Christmas Chaos.
"Bakugo may come to regret this attack onto Zancrow, but for now, he may have to deal with the fines he just earned from attacking BTWF security," Bob explained as the camera panned to the backstage area as Zancrow started leaving the ring on his own without the security guards' help, trying to wipe the blood off of his face. The camera panned to the backstage area, where Kohaku and Homura Momiji were jump roping in their locker room.
"You're looking a bit tired there, Kohaku. You want to give up now and save yourself the extra breath?" Homura playfully mocked with a smirk on her face, but Kohaku simply grinned at her.
"Thanks for the concern Homura, but don't worry, my stamina is just as good, if not better than yours," Kohaku responded as they continued with their jump-roping before Louise Belcher and Lisa Simpson came walking up to them with condescending smirks on their faces.
"Are we still really playing these childish games, ladies?" Louise asked as Homura raised an eyebrow at them while continuing to jump rope.
"These 'childish games' are helping us train our stamina and athleticism," Homura countered as Lisa grabbed the jump rope, and pulled it out of Homura's hand, causing her to almost trip. Lisa then threw the jump rope over Homura's head before Louise gave her a hi-five from behind.
"Oh, well it looks like you lost," Lisa mocked. Kohaku stopped jumping rope, and hit Lisa in the back of the head with a Forearm, knocking her down on the ground face first. Louise then started brawling with Kohaku, but Homura grabbed Louise by the hair and threw her into the wall before the two started brawling with each other. The camera then panned to the backstage interview in the middle of the brawl, where Kazuma Sato was smirking in front of Crona, with his hands clapped together.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Kazuma Sato has brought me and the BTWF Cruiserweight Champion Crona Gorgon here for some sort of announcement," Scott Stanford explained as Kazuma grabbed the microphone from Scott, and smirked down at the BTWF Cruiserweight Championship.
"Crona, I know that you and everyone else have been getting on my ass about how I've been treating women like Aqua and Winry over the past few weeks. So you know what? I'm going to invite Aqua to the ring next week for a match, and if she can win, I'll not only get her job as a manager back, but also put a good word for her for a high position in the company," Kazuma explained, much to Stanford's confusion. Crona grabbed the microphone from Kazuma, and pushed him back with the bottom of the microphone.
"While I can guarantee you of all people don't have the power to give Aqua any job in this company, but humor me, what will happen if she loses?" Crona asked as Kazuma asked a backstage hand for another microphone before continuing.
"Well when she loses, she'll never come back to this company again and will have to watch me win the BTWF Cruiserweight Championship from her dump of an apartment. If she hasn't been evicted from it that is," Kazuma explained as he gave a Cheshire Grin to Crona, who rolled his eyes.
"OK, and second question, why are you telling me this?" Crona asked as Kazuma patted Crona on the top of his light purple hair-covered head, causing Crona to swipe his hand away.
"I just want you to see what you're in for at Christmas Chaos," Kazuma said before throwing the microphone at Crona's chest and walking off. Crona gave his microphone back to Stanford and walked away while shaking his head and mumbling to himself before the camera panned to a commercial break.
*Commercial Break*
*Commercial Over*
The camera panned back to the basement of the locker room, where BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions Ultear Milkovich and Tomoko Kuroki were standing in front of the furnace with a red hue around them.
"Our sisters will be fighting in the barbaric structure known as Lethal Lockdown at Christmas Chaos, and our leader will be prying the halo from the Angel of the BTWF. But us; myself and Tomoko will be defending our gold against Yang and Ruby," Ultear explained as she patted the BTWF Women's Tag Team Championship belt hanging over her shoulder.
"Yang and Ruby, you may have these lost sheep deluded enough into thinking that nothing is wrong with your relationship, but we can see the darkness pouring into your heart Yang. And Ruby, we can hear the tears your heart is crying over the loss of your sister," Tomoko elaborated, chuckling as Ultear patted Tomoko on the top of the head before continuing.
"And after we defeat you at Christmas Chaos, what's left of your relationship will crumble and break down while the empire of the Sisterhood of Darkness will rise to the heavens!" Ultear exclaimed before Tomoko spat blood onto the lens of the camera before the camera panned to the stage, where 'Face to Face' by Citizen Soldier played, causing the crowd to explode as Izuku Midoriya came running out of the back, with the BTWF Hardcore Championship around his waist.
"The following contest is an open challenge match, and it is for the BTWF Hardcore Championship! Approaching the ring, from Musutafu Japan, he is the BTWF Hardcore Champion, Izuku Midoriya!" Tony Chimel announced, causing the crowd to somehow cheer even louder as Midoriya started hi-fiving the fans in the front row while he jogged to the ring and knocked on the front plate of his championship.
"Since Izuku Midoriya will be leading a team into the Lethal Lockdown match at Christmas Chaos, he will defend the BTWF Hardcore Championship tonight against the first man to accept the challenge Midoriya laid out," Striker explained as Midoriya ran to the ring, and jumped up, sending himself between the middle and top ropes, causing the crowd to cheer louder as he kipped back to his feet and took the BTWF Hardcore Championship off of his waist.
"And while Midoriya is still after the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship, he has vowed to defend the Hardcore Championship with everything he's got!" Bob exclaimed as Midoriya picked the BTWF Hardcore Championship up, and put it over his head before pyro shot out of the ceiling and the corners of the ring. After the pyro went off, Duncan of the NWO ran into the ring, and knocked Midoriya down with a Running Knee to the back, causing the crowd to boo as Duncan started stomping on Midoriya.
"I think we have Midoriya's opponent in the ring, as the NWO looks to get more gold!" Kotoko exclaimed as the referee rang the bell as Duncan continued stomping on Midoriya's back and sides. Duncan then picks Midoriya up and attempted to Irish whip him into the ropes, but Midoriya jumped onto the middle rope, and hit Duncan with a Springboard Headscissors, causing the crowd to cheer loudly as Midoriya mounts Duncan, and starts punching him in the side of the head. The crowd continued to cheer as Midoriya pulled Duncan up by his green Mohawk, and started kicking him in the side of the head before throwing him into the corner.
"This match is underway, and Midoriya has turned this match around!" Bob exclaimed as Midoriya hit Duncan with multiple Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before grabbing him, attempting to hit him with the Exploder Suplex. However, the crowd started booing as Duncan started hitting Midoriya with multiple elbows to the side of the head before kicking Midoriya in the knee, sending him falling to one knee. Duncan then ran the ropes and attempted to hit Midoriya with a Leg Drop Bulldog, but Midoriya kipped back up to his feet and hit a Spinning Heel Kick onto Duncan's face before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…
"That was a brilliant counter by Midoriya! But it wasn't enough to put Duncan away though," Kotoko explained as Duncan attempted to roll out of the way, but Midoriya grabbed Duncan by the back of his tights, and started clubbing him in the back. Midoriya then attempted to Irish whip Duncan into the ropes, but Duncan rebounded and countered a bent over Midoriya with a kick to the face. The crowd booed as Duncan threw Midoriya out of the ring, before running the ropes, and hitting Duncan with a Baseball Slide Dropkick to the side of the head.
"And Duncan, sending Midoriya's head bobbing around like a Bobble Head with that Baseball Slide Dropkick!" Striker exclaimed as Duncan then grabbed the top rope, and attempted to hit a Springboard Crossbody over the top rope, but Midoriya was able to grab a Kendo Stick from underneath the bottom of the ring and hit Duncan in the chest while he was in mid-air. The crowd cheered as Midoriya twirled the Kendo Stick in between his fingers before hitting Duncan in the back with the Kendo Stick multiple times.
"Midoriya starting to get Hardcore with those hard-as-stale-bread Kendo Stick shots!" Bob exclaimed as Midoriya put the Kendo Stick down, and started punching him in the side of the head before throwing him into the fan barricade. Midoriya then went underneath the ring and grabbed a couple of steel chairs and a trash can before Midoriya ran into the corner of the fan barricade, and hit Duncan with a Running Back Elbow to the side of the head, sending Duncan falling over to the other side of the fan barricade.
"And Duncan falling over fan barricade, landing back first on the hard floor!" Kotoko exclaimed as Midoriya grabbed Duncan by the hair, and started punching him in the side of the head, but Duncan blocked a punch, and hit a couple of headbutts to the side of Midoriya's head, and pushed him away. The crowd booed as Duncan climbed up onto the fan barricade, and dived off of the top of the fan barricade with a Diving Hurricanrana, sending Midoriya's head crashing into the steel ring post.
"And Duncan may have taken control completely by sending Midoriya's head crashing into the steel ring post with a Hurricanrana!" Striker exclaimed as Duncan smirked at the booing fans, before motioning around his waist, saying that he was going to win the BTWF Hardcore Championship. As Midoriya tried to get back to his feet, exposing the cut on the top of his head that was bleeding, Duncan started kicking Midoriya in the side of the head before picking him up and sending Midoriya's back into the steel ring post. The crowd continued to boo as Duncan hit Midoriya with a Scoop Slam onto the padded concrete floor.
"You got that right there, Striker, as Duncan just slammed Midoriya onto the mats and into the steel ring post!" Bob exclaimed as Duncan grabbed the trash can lid from the floor, and hit Midoriya in the back of the head several times with the lid. Duncan then threw Midoriya back into the ring before throwing the trash can lid into the ring and grabbing one of the steel chairs on the floor. Duncan then rolled into the ring and started stomping on Midoriya once he got back into the ring. The crowd continued to boo as Duncan put the chair down, picked Midoriya back up, and hit him with a Snap Vertical Suplex before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2
"Can you imagine how elated Katsuki Bakugo would be if Duncan brings Izuku Midoriya's championship into the NWO?" Kotoko asked as Duncan grabbed the steel chair, and started slamming the chair into Midoriya's chest repeatedly as the crowd chanted that Duncan and the NWO sucked.
"Bakugo would probably make Duncan his 2nd in command if he's able to do that!" Striker exclaimed as Duncan flipped off the fans, threw the chair down into Midoriya's chest, and stomped on the chair, sending it crashing into Midoriya's chest. The crowd continued to boo as Duncan hit a Jumping Elbow Drop to the chair, once again sending it crashing into Midoriya's chest before pushing the chair off and going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"How Midoriya is able to kick out with his ribs being reduced to dust is a complete mystery to me," Bob explained as Duncan glared at the referee before Duncan rolled out of the ring, went to the bottom of the ring, and grabbed a table, and a toolbox. The crowd booed as Duncan threw the table down to the ground, opened the toolbox, and grabbed a wrench and a pipe. Duncan then rolled into the ring as Midoriya tried to get back to his feet, and much to the crowd's delight, Midoriya started punching Duncan in the chest and stomach, but Duncan hit Midoriya with a Knee Strike to the face.
"And Duncan, once again able to send Midoriya down! This time, with a vicious knee to the face!" Striker exclaimed as Duncan mounted Midoriya, and started choking him with the small piece of pipe. Midoriya, desperate to prevent serious injury, started biting Duncan's nose, causing the crowd to cheer as he jumped off of Midoriya, and kicked him a couple of times in the side of the head. Duncan then went into the corner to check his nose, which was bleeding slightly due to the serious bite that Midoriya gave him. Duncan then glared at Midoriya as he noticed that the champion was trying to pick himself up using the corner, and ran at him, attempting a Jumping Stinger Splash. However, the crowd cheered as Midoriya was able to hit Duncan with a Superkick while he was jumping up.
"Duncan, you can find your teeth in the 5th row!" Bob exclaimed as Duncan staggered around the ring before Midoriya picked up the steel chair from the ground, and started wailing Duncan on the back with the chair. The crowd cheered, and those cheers grew louder with each chair shot that sent Duncan onto his stomach. Midoriya then ran the ropes, and hit a Jumping Shooting Star Press with the chair in front of his chest, causing Midoriya and the chair to crash into Duncan's chest before going for a pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Duncan able to kick out, but you can hear from those coughs that his ribs are not in a good condition like Midoriya's!" Kotoko exclaimed as Midoriya got back to his feet, breathing in and out to try and get air back in his lungs. Duncan also started getting back up to his feet, and Midoriya responded by running the ropes and hitting two clotheslines, a Jumping Single Leg Dropkick, a Reverse Atomic Drop, and a Snap DDT. The crowd continued to cheer and chant for Midoriya before he ran the ropes, and hit a Lionsault onto Duncan off of the second rope.
"Midoriya's getting back into this match, and the crowd is getting behind him every step of the way!" Striker exclaimed as Midoriya grabbed Duncan by the hair, and threw him onto the apron. The crowd continued to cheer as Midoriya punched Duncan several times in the face before running the ropes, and hitting Duncan with a Running Enziguri that sent him on one knee while still on the apron. The crowd continued to cheer as Midoriya ran the ropes, and hit a Heat Seeking Missile Suicide Dive through the middle rope, sending both him and Duncan crashing onto the outside.
"Midoriya keeping good on his promise to sacrifice whatever is necessary to fight for his BTWF Hardcore Championship!" Bob exclaimed as Midoriya grabbed Duncan by the hair, and slammed his face into the top of the announcers' table multiple times before throwing Duncan halfway across the ringside area with an Exploder Suplex. The crowd continued to cheer as Midoriya grabbed the table and threw her back into the ring before briefly sliding back into the ring to set the table up. Midoriya then got back onto the outside, put Duncan in a Front Facelock, and started clubbing him in the back, but Duncan grabbed the front of Midoriya's tights and pulled him face first into the steel ring apron.
"And Duncan just sent Midoriya crashing into the steel ring apron face first! And you can see his blood flying off of his head!" Striker exclaimed as Duncan started punching Midoriya in the side of the head multiple times before picking him up, and hitting him with an Attitude Adjustment that sent him crashing onto the steel ring apron before pushing him back into the ring. The crowd booed as Duncan pushed Midoriya into the ring, followed him in the pin, and went for another pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.
Ref: 1…2..
"Midoriya is one of the most resilient superstars in the BTWF, and he's showing that once again after kicking out of that devastating maneuver!" Bob exclaimed as Duncan grabbed the referee by the front of his shirt, and started yelling at him that he won the match. Duncan, after a moment, pushed the referee away and started kicking Midoriya in the chest several times before maneuvering the table. The crowd booed as Duncan picked Midoriya up in a Powerbomb position, and attempted to send him through the table with a Powerbomb, but Midoriya was able to counter that into a Sunset Flip pin.
Ref: 1…2..
Duncan kicked out, but Midoriya attempted to lock him in the Koji Clutch, but Duncan raked Midoriya in the eye, and then got up so that he could send Midoriya down with a Leg Drop Bulldog before going for another pin, much to the crowd's chagrin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Midoriya kicking out once again, and Duncan looks like he's about to kill the referee!" Kotoko exclaimed as Duncan waited for Midoriya to get back to his feet, yelling at him that the NWO was going to win no matter what. When Midoriya got up, Duncan attempted to hit Midoriya with a Superkick, but Midoriya was able to catch him, and much to the crowd's delight, Midoriya threw Duncan into the corner with another Exploder Suplex. Midoriya then, after several deep breaths, ran the ropes and hit an upside-down Duncan with a Running Hesitation Dropkick to Duncan's face.
"Midoriya's coming back into this match, sending his feet crashing right into the face of Duncan!" Striker exclaimed as Midoriya grabbed Duncan's arms, and started stomping on Duncan's chest and face multiple times. The crowd continued to cheer as Midoriya jumped up, and hit a Meteora onto Duncan's chest and face. Midoriya then looked at the table, and then at the cheering crowd, and smirked at them, doing the slit throat taunt before picking Duncan up in a Powerbomb position.
"Evil intentions in the mind of Izuku Midoriya! Midoriya wants to send a message to the NWO!" Kotoko exclaimed as Midoriya hit Duncan with a Powerbomb through the table, causing the crowd to explode before Midoriya put Duncan in the Koji Clutch. The crowd cheered louder as Duncan tried to drag himself to a weapon, but after just under a minute, Duncan tapped out to Midoriya.
*Bell rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner and still the BTWF Hardcore Champion, Izuku Midoriya!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd exploded as Midoriya slid onto his knees and raised both of his fists in the air. The referee grabbed the BTWF Hardcore Championship from a ringside attendant and gave it to Midoriya, who responded by rushing back to his feet and raising the BTWF Hardcore Championship above his head.
"Midoriya giving his Lethal Lockdown team some momentum with this fantastic Hardcore Championship defense!" Bob exclaimed as Midoriya rolled out of the ring with the BTWF Hardcore Championship in his hand. However, when he saw that Duncan was squirming, Midoriya smirked, put the BTWF Hardcore Championship belt down, and rolled back into the ring before grabbing the steel pipe.
"And it looks like Midoriya isn't done with Duncan just yet!" Kotoko exclaimed as Midoriya started choking Duncan with the steel pipe. The crowd exploded as Duncan tried to drag himself away, but Midoriya does not let go and continued to choke Duncan until he starts bleeding from the mouth. As Duncan began to lose consciousness, Katsuki Bakugo and the rest of the NWO came running out of the back, which Midoriya noticed. Midoriya let go of Duncan, flipped off Bakugo, and rolled out of the ring with the pipe still in his hand.
"Midoriya wisely getting out of dodge, with the NWO having a major numbers advantage!" Striker exclaimed as Midoriya looked at a furious NWO, and flipped them off once again before telling them that they're going to fall at Lethal Lockdown. Bakugo told Midoriya that he was going to pay for this attack next week as Marco and Dipper helped an unconscious Duncan back up to his feet.
"We're going to be getting a major 12 man tag team match in our main event on the next episode of Intensity, and with what's happened over this episode, we're going to have some blood spilled next week," Striker explained as the camera panned while Midoriya and the NWO continued arguing with each other before the camera panned to Minatsuki Tamaki's decimated Happy Place. Minatsuki's hair was completely covering her face, and she didn't notice the camera as her hands were placed over her eyes. Minatsuki was also crying while mumbling 'No' and 'Please' before the camera faded to black.
