BTWF Intensity (December Week 4)
The camera panned to the Happy Place, where Minatsuki Tamaki is surprisingly calm despite her hair being in a state of disarray, and her face being covered in dried tears colored black due to the mascara. Minatsuki looked up at the camera, whatever happiness she had on her face over the past few months was completely gone.
"I just…can't handle it anymore. I've been spending the past several weeks trying to keep her contained, but it's just not working anymore," Minatsuki mumbled before running her hands through her long black hair, her fingers occasionally getting tangled in the knots that were in her hair.
"She's going to come out soon, and there isn't going to be any stopping her once she does," Minatsuki continued to mumble before she started rocking back and forth, with the camera focusing on the state of disarray that the Happy Place was in with furniture overturned, holes and scratches in the wall, and pieces of fluff covering the floor.
"At Christmas Chaos, I'm afraid I'm going to have to introduce you all to her. And all I can say is that…I'm sorry," Minatsuki said before the camera panned away from her, and panned to the stage. The crowd cheered as 'Fight' by Oleander played as pyro came shooting out of the stage and the TitanTron while the camera panned around the fans, who were cheering and chanting 'BTWF' before the camera panned to the commentary.
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the go-home episode of Intensity! From Arlington Heights, Illinois, I'm Matt Striker alongside my broadcast colleagues Kotoko Iwanaga and Bob Belcher, and guys, we have an exciting main event in store for the BTWF fans!" Striker exclaimed as Kotoko and Bob nodded as the camera focused on the three commentators as they began to discuss the main event.
"That's right, Matt, as we have a 12 man tag team main event match, where BTWF World Heavyweight Champion Zancrow will team up with Izuku Midoriya and his Lethal Lockdown team to go up against Katsuki Bakugo and the rest of the NWO!" Kotoko exclaimed as Bob nodded before continuing the match card rundown.
"We also have several other matches on tap for tonight, like Kazuma Sato taking on Aqua with Aqua's BTWF contract on the line, Ruby taking on one half of the BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions Tomoko Kuroki, and more as we're on the fast track to Christmas Chaos," Bob explained as 'Young' by Hollywood Undead played, causing the crowd to boo as Gray and Lyon came out with their 'Fiore's Top Team' tracksuits.
"The following contest is a tag team match, scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, the team of Gray Fullbuster and Lyon Bastia, Fiore's Top Team!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued to boo when Gray and Lyon gave a fist bump to each other before walking off the stage and down the entranceway. The crowd continued to boo as Gray and Lyon looked into the camera, and told Tanjiro and Ganta to watch how a real tag team wrestles.
"And this is part of the 'and more' part of Intensity tonight, as Gray and Lyon look to gain momentum heading into the Christmas Chaos event, where they will take on the Japanese Destroyers in tag team action," Striker explained as Gray and Lyon smirked at the booing fans, telling them that their booing isn't going to stop their upwards ascent as they made it to the ringside area. Gray and Lyon both raised their fists up in front of the ringside area before climbing up the steel steps.
"Gray and Lyon have been mocking Tanjiro and Ganta, claiming that they're nothing but one-note ponies, but Ganta and Tanjiro look to prove that this is not true," Kotoko explained as Gray and Lyon rolled into the ring, kipped back to their feet, and gave each other another fist bump. The crowd continued to boo as Lyon and Gray took their tracksuits off, dumped them outside of the ring, and began stretching in the corner before Gallows and Anderson's 'Omen of the Sky' theme song played, causing the crowd to cheer as Thompson and Robbie came out of the back.
"And their opponents, from Gravity Falls Oregon, the team of Robbie and Thompson!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued to cheer while Thompson and Robbie hi-fived several fans in the front row while Gray and Lyon started going over strategy in the ring. Robbie ran to the ringside area while Thompson continued to hi-five fans in the front row before meeting Robbie in front of the ring.
"Robbie and Thompson have recently lost their BTWF Tag Team Championships, and their contractually obligated rematch for the championships last week, so they're also looking to get their momentum back in an upswing," Striker explained as Robbie rolled into the ring from underneath the bottom rope while Thompson walked up the steel steps. Robbie kipped back up to his feet, and raised his fist up, while Thompson got into the ring, and raised both of his fists behind Robbie.
"I'm kind of happy that their back-to-back title losses haven't dampened their spirits, as they're looking like they're ready for a fight," Bob explained as the referee made sure both teams were ready before telling the timekeeper to ring the bell. Robbie and Gray started the match with the two locking up in the middle of the ring, attempting to push the other into the corner. Gray was able to push Robbie into the corner and attempted to hit him in the chest with the Knife-Edge Chop, but Robbie was able to dodge and hit Gray in the chest with several Knife-Edge Chops of his own.
"Robbie starting this match out hot with some vicious chops in the corner to Gray," Striker explained as Robbie backed away from Gray, and kicked him several times in the chest before hitting him with a Spinning Back Kick, sending Gray staggering out of the corner. The crowd cheered as Robbie ran the ropes, and knocked Gray down with a Spinning Wheel Kick, sending him straight into his corner, allowing Lyon to tag himself into the match. However, when he attempted to go after Robbie, Robbie was able to counter by hitting Lyon with a Frankensteiner before rolling into a pinfall.
Ref: 1…
"Robbie trying to get the momentum back for his team so they can get a BTWF Tag Team Championship shot in the future," Bob explained as Lyon quickly got back to his feet, and started punching Robbie in the face before Irish whipping him into the ropes, but Robbie was able to Springboard off of the 2nd rope, and hit a Flying Back Elbow right to Lyon's face before tagging Thompson into the match. The crowd cheered as Thompson grabbed Robbie, and hit him with a Scoop Slam that sent him crashing into Lyon's chest.
"Some unique tag team offense here, as we can see Thompson using Robbie as a weapon!" Kotoko exclaimed in surprise as Thompson grabbed Lyon by the hair, and picked him back up to his feet. Thompson hit Lyon several times in the face with Forearms to the side of the head, sending Lyon falling onto all fours. Thompson picked Lyon back and placed him in the corner before hitting him with multiple Back Elbows to the side of the head before throwing him out of the corner. Thompson waited for Lyon to get up, and attempted to run at him, but Lyon jumped up, and hit Thompson with a Knee Lift to the face, sending him staggering in the center of the ring.
"And Lyon, with a High Jumping Knee to the face of Thompson, sending him out on his feet!" Striker exclaimed as Lyon started kicking Thompson in the sides of the legs, sending Thompson on one knee. The crowd booed as Lyon ran the ropes, attempting to hit a Running Dropkick onto Thompson, but Thompson got back to his feet and knocked Lyon down with a Shoulder Block before tagging Robbie back into the match, who Springboarded into the ring and knocked Lyon down with a Springboard Clothesline before going for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…2
"Robbie is back in this match, and almost got a 2 count thanks to that Springboard Clothesline!" Bob exclaimed as Robbie picked Lyon back up, and started kicking him in the sides of the legs, but Lyon was able to grab the front of Robbie's tights and push him into the middle rope, sending his throat crashing into that rope. The crowd booed as Lyon started stomping on Robbie, before using his foot to choke Robbie.
"Lyon finally gaining the advantage for his team, showing off his in-ring awareness by using the ropes as a weapon," Striker explained as Lyon tagged Gray into the match while Lyon's foot was still on his throat. Gray and Lyon hit multiple stomps onto Robbie's face, throat, and chest before picking him up, and hitting him with a Double Slingshot Suplex. Lyon rolled back onto the apron before Gray hit a Jumping Knee Drop to Robbie's face before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
"A very nice knee drop there, but Robbie is still in this fight!" Bob exclaimed as Gray picked Robbie up, and hit him with multiple Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before running the ropes, and knocking him back down with a hard Clothesline. The crowd continued to boo as Gray stomped on Robbie's chest before running the ropes, and hitting Robbie in the throat with a Running Leg Drop. Gray then tagged Lyon into the match, and the two picked Robbie up and hit him with a Double Back Suplex.
"Lyon is back in this match, no doubt Gray and Lyon want to show off their tag teamwork for the Japanese Destroyers," Kotoko explained as Lyon ran the ropes, and hit a Jumping Leg Drop to Robbie's throat, followed by Gray running the ropes and hitting Robbie with a Pinpoint Elbow to the forehead. Gray rolled back onto the apron before Lyon pinned Robbie with both of his legs hooked back and his forearm pressing into Robbie's face.
Ref: 1…2.
Lyon grabbed Robbie by the hair, and threw him into the corner turnbuckle face first, sending Robbie's face crashing into the top turnbuckle multiple times before turning him around. The crowd continued to boo as Lyon started punching Robbie in the head and face before the referee pulled Robbie out of the corner. While the referee was threatening to disqualify Lyon, Gray kicked Robbie in the leg a couple of times, allowing Lyon to run into the corner, and hit a Running European Uppercut that Robbie was unable to dodge.
"What a strike by Lyon! I wouldn't be surprised if Robbie was knocked out by that move!" Bob exclaimed as Lyon took Robbie down with a Snapmare, and ran the ropes to hit a Running Forearm to Robbie's face before tagging Gray back into the match. The two grabbed Robbie's legs, and hit him with a Double Wheelbarrow Suplex, before grabbing both of Robbie's legs again, and hitting him with a Wishbone and hitting a now seated Robbie with a Double Basement Dropkick to both sides of Robbie's face before Gray went for the pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"How did Robbie kick out of that!? Robbie looked like he was completely unconscious there!" Bob exclaimed in shock as Gray grabbed Robbie, and hit him with a Snap Vertical Suplex. However, rather than let go, Gray kept hold of Robbie, picked him back up, and hit him with more two Snap Vertical Suplexes. Gray then ran at Thompson, hitting him with a Running Forearm, which only served to make Thompson furious as he tried to get into the ring and confront Gray, but the referee kept him at bay.
"Gray and Lyon once again showing their excellent tag team strategies, using Robbie's own partner against him!" Striker exclaimed as Lyon went into the ring, and hit a Running Knee Drop to the back of Robbie before rolling out of the ring just as the referee turned back around. Gray grabbed Robbie's legs and started stomping on Robbie's stomach and chest before turning him over and locking him in a Sharpshooter.
"Oh no! Robbie is locked in a tight Sharpshooter! Robbie may tap out here!" Kotoko exclaimed as Robbie immediately tried to drag himself to the ropes, but Gray was able to overpower him and drag him back to the center of the ring. Thompson started stomping on the steel steps in the corner to the rhythm of the fans clapping to encourage Robbie to break out of the hold. Robbie started punching and elbowing Gray's sides, causing the crowd to cheer as Gray's hold on the Sharpshooter to loosen.
"Gray's starting to let go of the hold, and Robbie's clearly taking advantage of this by trying to loosen the Sharpshooter!" Bob exclaimed as Robbie pulled himself away from Gray's hold. The crowd cheered as Robbie started kicking Gray in the legs, but Gray was able to knee Robbie in the gut and hit him with a Snap DDT before going for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…2.
Gray stomped on Robbie's gut a few times before climbing up the top rope and balanced himself in the top turnbuckle. Gray dived off of the top rope, attempting to hit Robbie with the Diving Headbutt, but the crowd cheered as Robbie was able to roll out of the way.
"And Gray misses the Diving Headbutt! It never looks any prettier the more I see it!" Striker exclaimed as he winced before Robbie started dragging himself to his corner. Lyon ran into the ring and dragged a downed Gray into his corner before tagging back into the match. Lyon grabbed Robbie by the hair and attempted to hit him with the DDT, but Robbie was able to punch his way out of the move and hit Lyon with a Superkick before falling into his corner, tagging Thompson into the match.
"Lyon and Gray are going to need all that tag team excellence they've been bragging about, because here comes Thompson!" Striker exclaimed as Thompson ran into Lyon with several Shoulder Tackles, and knocked Gray off of the ring apron with a Clothesline. The crowd continued to cheer as Thompson threw Lyon into the air, and pushed him back down face and chest first before running the ropes, and hitting a Sliding Forearm to the side of Lyon's head. The crowd continued to cheer as Thompson ran the ropes, and hit Lyon with a Jumping Leg Drop across the throat before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"And Lyon barely kicks out of the massive leg drop, and if I'm Thompson, I'm wondering what the hell Lyon is made of to kick out of something like that!" Bob exclaimed as Thompson picks Lyon up, and throws him into the corner. Thompson runs into the corner and hits Lyon with a Running Body Avalanche before throwing him out of the corner with a Spinning Uranage. The crowd cheered as Thompson waited for Lyon to get back to his feet, wanting to hit him with the Boss Man Slam, but Gray got back into the ring and started clubbing Thompson in the back.
"And Gray getting back into the ring, saving his partner from what would've been a destructive move by Thompson!" Kotoko exclaimed as Thompson pushed Gray away. This distraction allowed Lyon to get back to his feet, and nail a Running Dropkick right to the knee of Thompson. The crowd booed as Lyon continued to stomp and kick at Thompson's knee before Lyon climbed up to the second turnbuckle, and hits Thompson in the knee with a Missile Dropkick.
"Lyon doing the smart thing and targeting the knee of Thompson because when you're on your back, you're all the same size," Striker explained as Lyon picked Thompson's right leg up, and started kicking the back of his leg before putting him in a Sharpshooter of his own. The crowd booed as Thompson started screaming in pain while he tried to crawl to the ropes, but the crowd booed louder as Gray climbed up to the top rope, and hit Thompson in the back with a Flying Headbutt.
"And this time, the Flying Headbutt connects, nearly crushing Thompson's spine!" Kotoko exclaimed as Gray staggered back to his feet, and hit Robbie with a Superkick when he attempted to get into the ring. Gray then ran the ropes and hit a still standing Robbie with a Suicide Dive to take him down. Meanwhile, Lyon continued to stretch Thompson's legs with the Sharpshooter, and after another half a minute, Thompson tapped out.
*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, the team of Gray Fullbuster and Lyon Bastia, Fiore's Top Team!" Tony Chimel announced as Lyon let go of Thompson, and told the referee to raise his arm in victory. Gray then rolled into the ring and told the referee to do the same thing for him, which the referee obliged. The crowd booed as Gray and Lyon hi-fived each other and hugged each other before rolling out of the ring as the referee went to check on Thompson.
"Lyon with the impressive tap-out victory over the big man of the team that were the previous BTWF Tag Team Champions!" Bob exclaimed as Gray and Lyon walked over to a nearby camera at the ringside area, with Gray telling the Japanese Destroyers (Tanjiro Kamado and Ganta Igarashi) that this was how a real tag team works. Lyon then told the Japanese Destroyers that their 'Strong Style nonsense' wasn't going to get the job done at Christmas Chaos.
"And another message being sent to the Japanese Destroyers, this time using their words rather than their actions," Kotoko explained as Robbie rolled into the ring, and knelt down to check on Thompson, who was holding his leg in pain along with the referee. Gray and Lyon, after they were done conversing with the Japanese Destroyers, resumed celebrating their victory over the former BTWF Tag Team Champions.
"Regardless of what happens with the Japanese Destroyers at Christmas Chaos, Fiore's Top Team definitely should be considered as contenders for the BTWF Tag Team Championships in the future," Striker explained as the camera panned to the backstage area while Fiore's Top Team continued to celebrate their victory. Backstage, Marin Hollow was once again taking pictures of Brandish as she was walking across the halls of the backstage area. Brandish stopped walking, but before she could look at Marin's pictures, Lucy Heartfilia and the Conglomerate (Tohru Kobayashi, Patty & Liz Thompson, and Onslaught) came walking up to them with smiles on their faces.
"Hello Brandish, I see you and Marin are working on your online profile again," Lucy greeted as Brandish smiled at Lucy before hugging her.
"Of course, myself and Marin are always working to make sure our numbers go and stay up," Brandish explained as Marin nodded before showing off the pictures that he had taken, and the numbers that they were doing.
"Well, I can see you two have done a great job with it. Now, as you know, I'm going to be getting my BTWF Women's Championship back at Christmas Chaos and send Luna back to the slums where she belongs. And I just wanted to thank you for making sure that I got to choose the stipulation for the match," Lucy explained as Brandish nodded before looking down at her pink-colored nails.
"Anything for a friend, Lucy, but I am still getting that title match when you win, right?" Brandish asked as Marin pulled up Brandish's YouTube channel, which had over 750K subscribers.
"Yeah, because a whole series of training for a championship match is going to do wonders for the channel," Marin responded before Lucy patted Brandish on the shoulder.
"Of course Brandish, once I get the BTWF Women's Championship back, we're going to have an epic PPV match for the championship. And, myself and the Conglomerate are always available for a special guest appearance or appearances on your YouTube channel," Lucy responded as Brandish's eyes widened and sparkled before Marin turned his phone into camera mode.
"This is why we support the Conglomerate! Now, what do you all say to a group selfie!?" Marin exclaimed before getting in front of the group. Lucy and Brandish nodded at each other before the two of them got into position along with the rest of the Conglomerate. After the flash went off, Lance Scaper walked up to Onslaught, with a wrapped present in his hands and a giant smile on his face.
"Onslaught, I know we've had our problems for the past couple of months, but I wanted to get you a present," Lance explained as he gave Onslaught the gift. Onslaught looked at the gift, and then looked at Lance with a raised eyebrow before opening the gift. When he did, Onslaught was hit with a glitter bomb, allowing Lance to start brawling with Onslaught, clubbing him in the back of the head before Marin jumped on Lance's back, scratching Lance's eyes. Lucy, Brandish, and the rest of the Conglomerate moved away from the mini-brawl going on before the camera panned back to the stage, where 'My Fight' by Ashes to New played, causing the crowd to boo before Hana came out with a glare on her face.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, from Phoenix Arizona, Hana Morenos!" Tony Chimel announced, causing the crowd to boo louder as Hana started walking down to the ring. The glare on Hana's face remained as she looked on at the jeering crowd, shaking her head in disappointment before continuing her walk to the ring, telling the fans at home through the camera that she was going to win and get back on track.
"Ever since her interactions with Minatsuki Tamaki, who seems to be degrading mentally, Hana hasn't really been seen on Intensity as much as she would like," Kotoko explained as Hana ran up the steel steps, and jumped over the top rope into the ring. Hana jogged to the center of the ring and then started shadow boxing in the middle of the ring before walking into an adjacent corner to stretch.
"And, according to Hana, its women like Weiss and Blake who have come into the BTWF, so she specifically requested a match against Weiss," Bob further explained as 'Stand My Ground' by Within Temptation played, causing the crowd to cheer as Weiss came out with Blake following her, patting her on the back. Weiss outstretched her arms with her fists clenched, causing pyro to shoot out of the floor.
"And her opponent, accompanied to the ring by Blake Belladonna, from the City of Atlas in Remnant, Weiss Schnee!" Tony Chimel announced as Weiss gave a few hi-fives to the fans at ringside as Hana continued to shadowbox in the corner. Weiss continued her walk to the ringside area as Blake continued talking with her about strategy before Weiss took off her robe, and handed it to Blake. Blake put the robe on the steel steps as Weiss rolled into the ring and raised her right arm up, with her hand open.
"Weiss has been pretty dominant since coming to the BTWF, and looks to continue her singles winning streak by defeating Hana," Striker explained as Weiss walked up to Hana, who glared back at her without backing away before the referee tried to separate them. The referee made sure both women were ready before telling the timekeeper to ring the bell, and when the bell rang, Weiss and Hana immediately locked up in the middle of the ring, where Hana attempted to hit Weiss with a punch to the face, but Weiss grabbed Hana's arm and took her down with an Arm Drag.
"This match is underway, and Weiss is able to take Hana down with an Arm Drag," Kotoko narrated as Weiss cartwheeled in front of Hana, and attempted to hit her with a Dropkick, but Hana was able to duck out of the way and attempted to grab Weiss in a Waistlock, but Weiss immediately started hitting her with several back elbows to the side of Hana's head before pushing her into the corner. The crowd cheered as Weiss turned around and attempted to hit her with a Knife-Edge Chop, but Hana moved out of the corner and threw Weiss into the corner in her place.
"Hana able to dodge the Knife-Edge Chop, placing her into the corner for some strikes of her own!" Bob exclaimed as Hana started punching Weiss in the gut several times before attempting to Irish whipping her into the ropes, but Weiss was able to rebound off of the ropes, and take Hana back down with an Arm Drag, causing the crowd to go back to cheering. Hana got back up, and Weiss started hitting multiple Knife-Edge Chops to the chest, before taking Hana back into the corner. Weiss continued hitting several more Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before jumping into the middle rope and sending Hana flying out of the corner with a Monkey Flip.
"That is some impressive leg strength by Weiss, sending her halfway across the ring with that Monkey Flip!" Striker exclaimed as Weiss ran the ropes, and hit a Running Knee Drop to Hana's face before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…
Weiss grabbed Hana, and kicked her in the gut a couple of times before running the ropes, and taking Hana down with a Hurricanrana. The crowd continued to cheer as Weiss grabbed Hana's right leg, and started kicking the back of her knee before dropping a knee onto Hana's right leg. The crowd continued to cheer as Weiss locked Hana's legs in a leg hold, and started stomping and punching on her leg before Hana got to the ropes, causing the crowd to boo as the referee forced Weiss to break the hold.
"Weiss already targeting the leg of Hana, softening it up for the Figure 8," Kotoko explained as Weiss picked Hana up, and hit her with a Shin Breaker/Inverted Powerslam combination. The crowd continued to cheer as Weiss stomped on the back of Hana's leg, and ran the ropes before hitting another Knee Drop to the back of Hana's leg. Weiss then told the fans that she was going to put Hana in the Deep Freeze (Figure 8 Leglock), but the crowd booed as Hana quickly started kicking Weiss in the face and pushing her away with her foot.
"Hana able to counter out of the attempted Figure 8, saving herself from a potential tap-out!" Bob exclaimed as Hana attempted to run at Weiss, but Weiss was able to take Hana back down with a Belly 2 Belly. The crowd continued to cheer as Weiss climbed up to the top turnbuckle with her back to Hana, attempting to hit a Moonsault onto Hana. However, the crowd booed as Hana was able to get onto her knees and push herself into the ropes, sending Weiss crashing ass first onto the top rope.
"And Hana able to send Weiss falling off of the corner, preventing a possible match finishing moonsault!" Striker exclaimed as Hana staggered back to her feet, and stomped on Weiss before hitting Weiss with a Scoop Slam, mounting her, and hitting her with multiple punches and forearms to the face before the referee pulled Hana off of her. The crowd continued to boo as Hana stomped on Weiss' chest before going for the pin, hooking both of his legs back.
Ref: 1…2
"Weiss kicking out just after the referee slapped the mat for a two count!" Bob exclaimed as Hana grabbed Weiss by the hair, and clubbed her in the back before hitting Weiss with a quick Saito Suplex. The crowd continued to boo as Hana quickly picked Weiss back up, and threw her back into the corner, hitting multiple punches to Weiss' gut and face. Hana then hit a rough Clothesline onto Weiss with enough force to send her falling out of the ring.
"That is some good power shown by Hana, sending her falling out of the ring with only one shot!" Kotoko exclaimed as Hana stretched her right leg a little more to get the blood flowing back into it before rolling out of the ring. Hana started clubbing on Weiss on the back before throwing her into the steel steps, sending her sides and the side of her head crashing into the steel. Hana then grabbed Weiss and started kicking and kneeing Weiss in the gut and legs, and despite Weiss attempting to push her away, Hana kicked her right in the ear.
"Oh! A kick right to the ear of Weiss, knocking her somewhat loopy with her head probably ringing!" Bob exclaimed as Hana threw Weiss right into the fan barricade before nailing her with multiple knees to the side of the head. The referee began counting the two women out as Hana started pushing her knee into Weiss' ear, yelling at Blake that she should watch what happens to her if she gets in Hana's way.
Ref: 1…2…3
"Hana yelling at Blake, which is something I think she should avoid if she wants to maintain control of Weiss," Striker advised before Hana grabbed Weiss, and rammed her back into the steel ring apron. The crowd booed as Hana told the crowd to shut up before she rammed Weiss' back into the ring apron several more times. Hana then started punching Weiss in the side of the head and the ear, causing blood to start dropping out of her ear before throwing her back into the ring.
"Weiss is bleeding from the ear! That can't be good for her hand-eye coordination or her vision," Striker explained as Hana ran the ropes, and hit Weiss in the side of the head with a Running Knee Lift before going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2
Hana glared at the referee before she grabbed Weiss by the hair, and put her in a Chinlock. The crowd continued to boo as Hana rammed her knee several times in the small of Weiss' back while continuing to pull her head back with the Chinlock. While holding Weiss in the Chinlock, Hana started biting on Weiss' bleeding ear, causing the crowd to boo louder while Weiss screamed in pain before the referee forced Hana to let go of the Chinlock. Hana let go before running the ropes, hit Weiss in the face with a Running Penalty Kick, and hooked both of Weiss' legs in a pin.
Ref: 1…2.
"Weiss kicking out once again, but notice how her hand is covering her bleeding ear completely to try and prevent Hana from doing more damage to the ear," Striker explained as Hana grabbed Weiss, threw her into the corner, and seated her on the top turnbuckle before punching her in the side of the head. Hana then climbed up to the middle rope, with her right leg buckling slightly as she put herself on the middle turnbuckle before putting Weiss in position for the Superplex. However, before Hana could throw Weiss off of the top rope, Weiss hit her with a straight chop to the throat, sending her falling off the top rope.
"And Weiss pushing Hana off of the top rope, sending her crashing down into the mat!" Kotoko exclaimed as Weiss turned her back to Hana, who was trying to stagger back to her feet. When Hana got back to her feet, the crowd and Blake cheered as Weiss hit a Corkscrew Moonsault onto Hana, rolling over into a pin on Hana.
Ref: 1…2..
Weiss got back up to her feet and started clapping in rhythm to the fans clapping while she was waiting for Hana to get back up. When Hana got up, the crowd cheered as Weiss ran the ropes, and hit two clotheslines, a Reverse Atomic Drop, a Swinging Neckbreaker, and a Standing Moonsault. The crowd continued to cheer as Weiss hit a Jumping Double Foot Stomp to the chest before running the ropes and hitting Hana with a Running Knee Strike to the face.
"Weiss taking Hana down, and the crowd is loving it!" Bob exclaimed as Weiss picked Hana back up, and hit her with multiple Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before hitting her with a Discus Punch to the side of the face. Weiss then ran the ropes and hit Hana with a Spear before going for the pin, hooking both of her legs back.
Ref: 1…2..
"Hana kicking out of that body-splitting spear! Hana really wants to show these new girls that she's not someone to look over!" Striker exclaimed as Weiss once again attempted to lock Hana in the Deep Freeze (Figure 8 Leglock). However, Hana was able to counter by punching Weiss multiple times in her injured ear and rolling her up with a Small Package, much to the crowd's chagrin.
Ref: 1…2.
Weiss kicked out, and Hana immediately got up to try and lock Weiss in a Standing Kimura Lock, but Weiss immediately countered by throwing Hana into the top turnbuckle face first before running the ropes and hitting Hana with a Running Front Chop Block. The crowd continued to cheer as Weiss put Hana on her knees before running the ropes again, and hitting Hana with the Cold Snap (Natural Selection).
"And Weiss just sent Hana down with the Natural Selection! There's only one last step for Weiss' victory!" Kotoko exclaimed as Weiss grabbed Hana's legs, and locked her in the Deep Freeze (Figure 8 Leglock). The crowd cheered as Hana tried to drag herself to the ropes, but Weiss was able to roll her back to the center of the ring, leaving Hana no choice but to tap out in the middle of the ring.
*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner as a result of a submission, Weiss Schnee!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued to cheer while Weiss rolled back onto her feet, and raised her fist up. Weiss' other hand was covering the bleeding ear as Blake rolled into the ring, and hugged her while the crowd chanted Weiss' name and Hana rolled out of the ring with a hand over her knee to try and alleviate some of the pain.
"Weiss showed Hana that she's not just flash and that she's a whole lot of substance!" Striker exclaimed as Hana punched the side of the ring apron in frustration while Blake and Weiss continued to celebrate. The ringside doctor came into the ring to check in on Weiss' right ear while Blake continued to hold Weiss' left arm up in victory.
"Hana didn't leave this match without a piece of Weiss, but Weiss can still hold her head up high in the fact that she's still undefeated in singles competition," Kotoko explained as Weiss, Blake, and the ringside doctor left, with the doctor continuing to check on Weiss' ear. Weiss and Blake hi-fived fans in the front row at ringside on their way back to the locker room while Hana limped back to her feet, and kicked the side of the steel steps with her good leg.
"Blake and Weiss have been gaining some quick momentum over the past couple of weeks, and you have to imagine some big things are coming up for them," Bob predicted as the camera panned to the backstage area, where Juniper Lee and 'the Queen of Song Style' Jiro Kyoka were talking in the catering area.
"I'm telling you Jiro, it's gonna be awesome! I'm going to defeat that loser Rally in front of her hometown! Just thinking about those idiots in the crowd crying about their hometown girl losing again makes me so happy," June mocked as Jiro nodded while tuning her electric guitar.
"That does sound great. It's honestly a shame that I'm not going to be there," Jiro explained, as June stopped bragging to look at Jiro with a raised eyebrow.
"What do you mean you're not going to be there? I thought we agreed that you were going to be there to make sure Rally doesn't pull any bullshit," June asked as Jiro grabbed a contract from her pocket, and showed it to June.
"Remember that Nishikawa guy that appeared on Bragging Rights? Well, Nishikawa convinced S7W to hire me to play his theme song live for their end-of-the-year PPV! I just confirmed everything last week, so I'm going to be gone for a week or two," Jiro said excitedly as June continued to look on with a raised eyebrow, but then June's eyes widened as if she remembered what that interview segment that included arguably her only friend was involved in at Bragging Rights.
"Dammit…I forgot. But, you know what, I'm not going to have a problem with Rally. Because I know you'll be there in spirit, cheering me on as I destroy that poser Rally in front of that loser audience in Chicago," June said, pumping herself up as Jiro nodded, and played a couple of chords on her guitar to further pump June up.
"That's the spirit! You go out there, and show Rally why she's nothing compared to us!" Jiro exclaimed as she and June fist-bumped each other before the camera panned to a commercial break.
*Commercial Break*
*Commercial Over*
The camera panned back to the backstage interview area, where Rolf was standing next to Scott Stanford.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with Rolf, who is going to battle one on one against Kilik Rung at Christmas Chaos. Now, Rolf, we've heard Kilik talk down to you as someone who's gotten by on luck alone. What do you have to say about that?" Scott asked as Rolf nodded his head while chuckling.
"Rolf is well aware of what Kilik has been saying. Ever since Rolf brawled with Kilik a few weeks ago, he felt those blows of Kilik, and how much jealousy and resentment were in those blows. Back in the Old Country, luck was not something we believed in, we believed in hard work and working towards our goals. And that's how Rolf came to the BTWF and how Rolf is going to maintain his spot in the BTWF," Rolf explained as Scott nodded before taking the microphone back.
"Well, Kilik is not here tonight, as he and the New Nation are continuing with their brutal training regimen. Do you have any last words you wanted to say to Kilik before your match at the Christmas Chaos PPV?" Scott asked as Rolf nodded before grabbing his microphone and looking right into the camera.
"Kilik, you wanted Rolf in the middle of the ring to show everyone that you're going to be the next big BTWF star. Well, you have Rolf in the middle of the ring, but it's like they say not only here in the States, but in the Old Country as well; Be careful what you wish for," Rolf said before giving the microphone back to Stanford, and leaving the interview area as the camera panned back to the stage, as 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 hands, pointing it at the cheering fans before placing the microphone in front of his mouth.
"We are only six, count 'em, six days away from Christmas Chaos. Now, there's nothing I love more than Christmas! I know you all love Christmas too, which is why I'm going to give you all an early Christmas gift of me defeating one of Bakugo's NWO bootlickers right in the middle of the ring!" Connie exclaimed, causing the crowd to cheer louder as Connie ran to the ringside area, where the cans were chanting 'Go Connie Go!'
"Now it really doesn't matter which bootlicker that I beat here tonight, because they're one more stepping stone to me becoming the BTWF Cruiserweight Champion!" Connie exclaimed as he ran up the steel steps, and once again outstretched his hand, pointing the microphone closer to the fans. Connie then jumped over the top rope and into the ring, spinning around on his heels, while continuing to take in the adulation of the crowd.
"OK, so Bakugo, send one of your lapdogs out here, just so I can get you used to the feeling of losing before you lose at Christmas Chaos!" Connie exclaimed before dropping the microphone and waiting in the corner for his opponent to come out. After a moment, 'MANTRA' by Bring Me the Horizon played, causing the crowd to boo as Duncan came out with Dipper and Marco following him out of the back.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Approaching the ring, representing and accompanied by the NWO, from Toronto Ontario Canada, he is Duncan!" Tony Chimel announced, causing the crowd to boo as Duncan glared at the fans, and flipped them off. Dipper and Marco started patting Duncan on the back and giving him verbal encouragement as Connie sat on the top turnbuckle, not looking too worried about his upcoming match.
"Connie has a victory over the former International Champion Dipper, and is now moving on to another member of the NWO," Bob explained as when the three got to ringside, Duncan gave Marco and Dipper fist bumps before sliding into the ring from underneath the bottom rope. However, when Duncan started climbing up to the 2nd turnbuckle, the crowd cheered as Kuro Sakuragawa came stomping down to the ring, glaring at Dipper and Marco, and went into Connie's corner.
"Kuro-Senpai knows as well as anyone how the numbers game have given the NWO the advantage in the past, so he's out here to lend a hand to Connie," Kotoko explained as Connie shrugged his shoulders and nodded, giving Kuro a surprise fist bump. Duncan looked on as Connie returned his attention to Duncan, who looked pissed that Kuro was out there to keep things somewhat even.
"Kuro here to make sure things between these two Cruiserweights stay a one-on-one contest," Striker further explained as the referee made sure both competitors were ready before telling the timekeeper to ring the bell. Connie and Duncan locked up immediately before the two started trading Hammerlocks in the center of the ring, with Connie attempting to take Duncan down to the mat with his Hammerlock, but Duncan was able to reverse it with a Side Headlock, causing the crowd to boo as Duncan gave Connie a disrespectful noogie.
"Duncan showing that Kuro's presence at ringside isn't going to rattle him, which I can respect," Bob explained as Connie pushed Duncan away from the Headlock, turned him around, and started punching Duncan in the face several times before throwing him into the corner. The crowd cheered as Connie went into the corner, and hit Duncan with a One Person Poetry in Motion before taking Duncan back down to the mat with a Snapmare. Connie then jumped to the 2nd turnbuckle and hit a Diving Back Elbow to the back of Duncan's head.
"Connie quickly taking over, nearly knocking Duncan out with a Diving Back Elbow to the head!" Striker exclaimed as Connie ran the ropes, and hit a Jumping Leg Drop across the throat before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2
Connie picked Duncan back up just as he kicked out, and started punching him in the gut before running the ropes and attempting to hit a One-Handed Bulldog. However, Duncan was able to push Connie away, and when Connie landed on his feet, Duncan hit Connie with several punches to the side of the head before Irish whipping him into the ropes. Duncan attempted to hit a Snap Powerslam on Connie, but Connie was able to counter with a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors, causing the crowd to cheer.
"I don't know how he did that, but Connie was able to Headscissor his way out of that Powerslam attempt!" Kotoko exclaimed as Duncan got back to his feet, and Connie responded by hitting Duncan with a Superkick to the gut. Connie then ran the ropes and attempted to hit Duncan with a Victory Roll, but Duncan was able to counter it by reversing the attempted pin into one of his own, causing the crowd to boo.
Ref: 1…
"Duncan tried to steal this one with a reverse pin, but Connie was able to get out of it quickly," Bob explained as Connie attempted to clothesline Duncan, but Duncan was able to dodge it, and hit Connie with a Dropkick with enough force to send Connie flailing into the corner. Duncan attempted to punch Connie in the corner, but Connie was able to block the attempted punches and hit Duncan with a punch to the gut and then threw his face into the top turnbuckle. The crowd cheered as Connie continued to ram Duncan's head into the top turnbuckle.
"Connie sending Duncan's brain-rattling into the top turnbuckle!" Kotoko exclaimed as Connie threw him out of the ring with the Hurricanrana, causing the crowd to cheer as Duncan fell out of the middle rope. Connie attempted to run the ropes and hit a Suicide Dive to the outside, but Marco and Dipper got in the way, causing the crowd to boo as Connie stopped in his tracks. However, the crowd cheered once again as Kuro hit two clotheslines, sending both Marco and Dipper onto the floor, allowing Connie to hit a Springboard Plancha to the outside onto Duncan.
"And Kuro already paying dividends, allowing Connie to hit a beautiful dive on the outside, sending Duncan to the floor!" Striker exclaimed as Connie got back up, and gave another surprise hi-five to Kuro, causing him to raise an eyebrow before going back to his side of the ring. Connie shrugged before picking Duncan up and hitting him with multiple Forearms to the face before Duncan grabbed Connie's ear, and threw him into the fan barricade by the side of his head. The crowd booed as Duncan repeatedly stomped on Connie's back, and when Connie tried to punch Duncan in the gut again, Duncan kicked him in the side of the head.
"Duncan getting back into this match, with some good ol' Southpaw action!" Striker exclaimed as Duncan picked Connie up, picked him up, and threw him into the top of the fan barricade face first. The crowd continued to boo as Duncan started stomping and kicking Connie in the chest and the side of the head while the referee was counting both men out.
Ref: 1…2…3
Duncan picked Connie up and started hitting him with several European Uppercuts to the jaw before throwing him back into the ring. The crowd continued to boo as Duncan flipped off the crowd again while Duncan rolled into the ring from underneath the bottom rope, and hit a sliding Elbow Drop to Connie's back. Duncan gave the jeering crowd an 'NWO 4 Life' before hitting a Jumping Elbow Drop to Connie's chest before going for a pin, hooking both of his legs back together.
Ref: 1…2
"Connie able to kick out despite having his legs almost tied together during that pin!" Kotoko exclaimed as Duncan grabbed Connie by the ears, put him on his knees, and then ran the ropes to hit him with a Basement Dropkick to the side of the head. When Connie got back to his feet, Duncan immediately took him back down with a One-Legged Bulldog before running the ropes and hitting Connie with a Running Neck Snap.
"Ouch! That can't be good for Connie's neck!" Bob exclaimed while wincing as Duncan ran the ropes, and hit Connie in the chest with a Jumping Senton to the chest. Duncan walked over to Kuro and started yelling at him and telling him that the NWO couldn't be stopped before hitting Connie with a Running Boot to the side of a seated Connie. The crowd booed as Duncan knelt down, and put Connie in a tight Side Headlock, which Connie responded to by immediately trying to get back to his feet.
"Duncan trying to put Connie to sleep with the Side Headlock, and Connie doing the smart thing by trying to alleviate some of the pressure this Chinlock applies by getting on his feet!" Striker exclaimed as Duncan kneed Connie in the gut multiple times, sending him back on his knees while continuing to lock him in the Side Headlock. Connie looked as though he was going to pass out, but Connie kept his arm back up to let the fans and the referee know that he was still in the match.
"Connie's trying his best to fight out of it, but those knees to the gut have to make it harder for him to get air in his lungs and get back to his feet," Kotoko noted as Connie used his free arm to start hitting multiple Back Elbows to the side of Duncan's head. Connie then gave the crowd a hip swivel, causing the crowd to cheer before hitting Duncan with a Stunner, allowing Connie to escape the Chinlock, and move away from Duncan. Duncan attempted to run at Connie, but Connie countered with a Back Elbow to the side of the head before Springboarding off of the middle rope and hitting Connie with a Moonsault before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
"Connie almost getting the pin with that quick Springboard Moonsault, but Duncan is still in this match!" Bob exclaimed as Connie went into the corner, and told the crowd to cheer louder as Duncan got back up. When Duncan got on his feet, Connie ran the ropes and hit Duncan with two Running Ax Handles, a Rolling Thunder Clothesline, a Snap Swinging Neckbreaker, and then picked Duncan back up, and hit him with a Gourdbuster. The crowd continued to cheer as Connie ran the ropes, and hit Duncan with a Falling Headbutt to the chest.
"Connie finally regaining some momentum, taking Duncan down with an amazing flurry of moves!" Kotoko exclaimed as Connie ran the ropes once again, but Marco quickly tripped him up while the referee was momentarily distracted by checking on Duncan. The crowd booed as Duncan kicked Connie in the leg a couple of times while on the floor before kipping back up to his feet, hitting Connie with a Jumping DDT and going for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…2..
"Duncan hitting a spectacular Jumping DDT onto Connie, but Connie is still able to kick out!" Bob exclaimed as Duncan pounded on the mat in frustration before hitting Connie with multiple Standing Elbow Drops onto Connie's gut before going up to the middle rope, preparing for a Pinpoint Elbow Drop. However, Connie was able to counter Duncan's attempt at a Pinpoint Elbow Drop with a kick to the face, sending Duncan staggering into the ropes. Connie was able to get back to his feet and run at Duncan with a Crossbody with enough force to send him and Duncan out of the ring.
"Connie sending himself and Duncan flying out of the ring with that high-impact Crossbody! But he's falling into the same side of the ring that the two members of the NWO are standing, ready for an attack!" Striker exclaimed as Marco and Dipper looked as though they were going to attack a dazed Connie, but the crowd cheered as Kuro ran from behind Marco and Dipper, jumped up on top of the steel ring steps, and hit Marco and Dipper with a Diving Double Bulldog onto the two NWO members.
"And once again, Connie is saved from a possible 3 on 1 beatdown by Kuro-Senpai!" Kotoko exclaimed as Connie got back to his feet, and threw Duncan in the ring before giving Kuro a thumbs-up. The crowd cheered as Connie climbed up to the ring apron, and then climbed to the top turnbuckle. By this point, Duncan had staggered back to his feet, and Connie responded by diving off of the top rope, drilling Duncan with the Diving DDT before going for the pin.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Connie Springer!" Tony Chimel announced as Connie got back to his feet with an arm around his waist, and allowed the referee to raise his arm. Kuro looked sternly in the ring and nodded at a celebrating Connie before walking backstage, giving Connie his moment while Marco and Dipper grabbed Duncan's legs and dragged him out of the ring.
"And thanks to Kuro-Senpai, Connie is able to pick up another win against another member of the NWO!" Kotoko exclaimed as Connie let go of the referee's hand, and looked around, possibly wanting to celebrate with Kuro as a way to give him a 'Thank You' for keeping the NWO at bay, but looked shocked and a little disappointed that Kuro had gone backstage. Connie then nodded and shrugged before jumping up to the middle turnbuckle, and fist-pumping to continue his celebration.
"Kuro did his job, and heading to the back, giving Connie some time to celebrate with the crowd!" Striker exclaimed as Marco and Dipper continued helping a battered Duncan to the back while Connie celebrated, moonwalking around the ring before jumping back up to the middle turnbuckle, raising his fists up. The crowd continued to cheer and chant 'Go Connie Go!' as Connie continued to celebrate on the top turnbuckle.
"The NWO can't be too happy about this loss, but will this momentum damper their momentum heading into the main event of tonight?" Bob asked as the camera panned to the backstage interview area, where Tom Phillips was standing next to Izuku Midoriya and his team for the Lethal Lockdown match (Kurt Bale, Edward Elric, Mirio Togata, and 'Ace' Hitman Jones).
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here making my BTWF debut as an interviewer, interviewing arguably one of the biggest stars in BTWF; the BTWF Hardcore Champion Izuku Midoriya. Midoriya, you have a great team here who has plenty to gain if you win. Do you think that's made your relationship as a team stronger?" Phillips asked as Midoriya nodded before putting the microphone in front of his mouth.
"Actually, it has. I mean, I've already been good friends with Mirio and Bale for a while now. I don't know Edward or Hitman too much, but if Mirio and Bale trust them, then so do I. These stipulations Sunny and Overhaul gave to the match at Christmas Chaos just made us work harder together to make sure that we destroy the NWO inside the Lethal Lockdown cage," Midoriya explained before Mirio interjected, putting his head between Midoriya and Phillips to reach the microphone.
"Don't forget Midoriya, that we've all had our own problems with Bakugo and his group of thugs, the NWO. They've cost us matches, cost us title opportunities, and tried to make our lives here on Intensity a living hell. Well, I'm here to tell you that me, Midoriya, Hitman, and everyone else are damn sick of it and we're going to do something about it," Mirio explained as everyone looked on at Mirio and agreed with him.
"Do you guys have any strategy when it comes to dealing with the NWO, who have more experience as a team, in Lethal Lockdown?" Phillips asked as Midoriya nodded before Bale interjected.
"Tom, we'd love to talk, but Bakugo's little moles are probably around, trying to get some cheap advantage before Christmas Chaos. Anyway, we have to go and get some last-minute reps in before our main event match," Bale said as he and the rest of the team left the interview area as the camera panned back to the ring, where the set of Lisa and Louise's Classroom, complete with Lisa and Louise behind a teachers' desk, a chalkboard in the middle of the ring, and several student desks scattered around the ring.
"Welcome, peons of Illinois, to the closest thing to intelligence you all are going to come in contact with; Lisa and Louise's Classroom!" Lisa exclaimed, causing the crowd to boo and chant 'Shut the Fuck Up!' at the two women. Louise and Lisa rolled their eyes before Louise picked up her microphone and took over.
"Why don't you all follow your own advice so that we can introduce our guests here tonight!?" Louise yelled back at the crowd, causing the crowd to boo louder as Lisa patted Louise on the back before taking her turn to talk.
"Now, surprisingly these two women requested to come onto our show only today so that they can hash out their problems. They went from BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions to nothing but a couple of sisters bickering with each other over the most foolish of reasons," Lisa explained, causing the crowd to boo louder as Louise prepared to say her line, ignoring the jeering of the crowd that wanted nothing more than to have their hosts to shut up.
"Anyway, please welcome the two women who will be facing the BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions, Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long!" Louise introduced. The crowd finally started cheering as Yang and Ruby walked out of the back, looking straight at the ring while looking completely stone-faced. The two got into the ring, grabbed the microphones from Louise and Lisa's desk, and glared at each other. Yang and Ruby stayed like this for a moment before Yang decided to break the ice.
"Ruby…you said you have something you want to get off of your chest? Let's hear it," Yang said. There was no malicious intent in her voice, but Yang clearly seemed uncomfortable with this airing of grievances.
"I do. Yang…you're my big sister. I've always been able to rely on you ever since I was a little kid. We came into this wrestling business together, had success in the indies, and came to the BTWF, where we won the BTWF Women's Tag Team Championships after only a month in the company. But then…the Sisterhood of Darkness happened. Ever since you got hit with that fireball by Flare, you've changed Yang, and not for the better," Ruby explained before Yang looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Of course I changed! I nearly had my eye burned to a crisp! I think I'm entitled to be a LITTLE mad at the people who did it and-" Yang tried to counter before Ruby interrupted her.
"I get that! I was mad at the Sisterhood too, and I still am! Who wouldn't be upset that the sister they've idolized since they could remember was put in such an awful position!? My problem is that you've started taking your anger out on me, Weiss, and even Blake-" Ruby elaborated before Yang interrupted this time.
"Don't you bring her into this! Blake has absolutely nothing to do with what's going on between us, Ruby!" Yang yelled, stomping over to Ruby, who much to her surprise, did not back down and stood her ground. Lisa and Louise were looking a little scared as Ruby pushed Yang's microphone out of her face, and put her microphone up.
"No! She does have something to do with this! Yang, we all care about you. But it's hard to stick by your side you're constantly pushing us away. I get it, you want to get revenge on the Sisterhood, and you're scared because of what they did to you, but if you push us away, you're going to have nobody to try and help you back to your feet when this obsession with the Sisterhood of Darkness takes you over!" Ruby exclaimed as Yang tried to maintain her angry vibe, but her face and body were calming down despite her face still contorted into a frown and a glare.
"There is nothing more I want than to go back to being the BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions with my big sister, but I need to know if I still have the big sister that I can trust, and if I'll have her when we get into the ring against Ultear and Tomoko at Christmas Chaos, because if I can't get that sister back, then I have no problem leaving until I can," Ruby explained as the glare on Yang's face finally turned into more of a forlorn frown. Ruby gave Yang an intense glare, waiting for her to respond to her ultimatum, and after a moment, Yang moved in and gave Ruby a tight hug as if she were hanging on for dear life. Ruby, after recovering from her initial shock, hugged Yang back as the crowd cheered and chanted for both women.
"Ruby, I love you, I really do. And you're right, if we want to get those titles back, we have to be Team RWBY again. I don't want to lose you, and you're more important to me than revenge on the Sisterhood," Yang said, her voice partially muffled by Ruby's shoulder. Ruby smiled genuinely for the first time in a while as she and Yang turned towards the cheering fans, and raised their arms in the air in togetherness. Yang and Ruby gave each other one more hug before walking away from the ring and to the back, with the crowd cheering them on, and chanting their names. The camera then panned to a commercial break as Ruby and Yang once again hugged each other as they told the camera that the Sisterhood didn't stand a chance at Christmas Chaos.
*Commercial Break*
*Commercial Over*
The camera panned to the backstage gym, where Kuro Sakuragawa was punching and kicking a punching bag. As Kuro was kicking the bag, Connie came up to him, and patted him on the back, causing Kuro to quickly turn around and prepare for a punch. However, Kuro pulled back immediately when he saw that it wasn't an enemy, but the man he helped earlier on in the night.
"Woah there, slugger! I'm just here to thank you for the help earlier tonight. If it wasn't for you, the NWO would've ganged up on me and whooped my ass," Connie explained as Kuro put his hand down and nodded.
"It's no problem, but I only helped you because I wanted you as healthy as possible for Christmas Chaos," Kuro responded, causing Connie to raise an eyebrow as he started hitting the punching bag with several jabs.
"Really? I don't remember having a match at the show," Connie said, stroking his chin in thought before Kuro patted Connie on the shoulder.
"Well, it's kind of a last-minute addition to the card, but you're going to be facing me at Christmas Chaos," Kuro responded, turning around and going back to his punching bag, indicating that he was done with the conversation. Connie looked as though he was going to say something else, but shrugged and walked out of the gym before the camera panned to the ring, where Aqua was standing in the middle of the ring, looking nervous as the crowd gave her some respectful cheers.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall, where if Aqua loses this match, she will be fired from the BTWF. However, if Aqua is able to win this match, she will be given a BTWF contract rather than a contract under Kazuma's name. Introducing first, Aqua!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued to cheer before 'Fresh' by Artist vs. Poet played, causing the cheers to quickly turn into boos.
"And her opponent, from Tokyo Japan, Kazuma Sato!" Tony Chimel announced as Kazuma came out strutting to the ring, looking at Aqua without an ounce of worry. Kazuma told the fans that tonight was going to be the last night they were going to see Aqua before faking hi-fives with several fans.
"Kazuma is scheduled to take on Crona Gorgon at Christmas Chaos for the BTWF Cruiserweight Championship, and has worked to get under the skin of the champ by showing off his more chauvinistic side," Striker explained as Kazuma walked up the steel steps on the side of the ring, continuing to smirk at a still worried-looking Aqua before walking through the middle rope and raising his fist as he walked to the center of the ring.
"Crona was raised by a BTWF Hall of Famer, Medusa Gorgon, who was arguably one of the most feared women in the Fanfiction Wrestling Multiverse. So one of the first things Crona was taught as a young child was to respect women, which is the main reason Kazuma's actions are making him so angry," Kotoko explained as Kazuma asked Tony Chimel for his microphone, and Tony obliged. Once Kazuma got the microphone, he took in the crowd's jeering before looking right at Aqua.
"You know, I have to be honest, I didn't even expect you to show up here. I figured you'd be too scared to show up and just give me the win by forfeit," Kazuma mocked, causing the crowd to boo as Aqua glared at him, telling him to get the match over with.
"Oh, we will, don't worry about that. But I've been thinking, what the hell do I have to gain by beating you? You're nothing but some useless waste of space that I took pity on. If you win here tonight, you'll be this company's problem and not mine, so you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to hand you the victory," Kazuma explained, causing the crowd to boo as Aqua raised an eyebrow in confusion and disbelief as Kazuma started laying down on the mat.
"No, I'm serious. There's no point in me throwing you around this ring like a rag doll, and hitting you with the Kazuma Kick. So, just pin me, get it over with, and get the hell out of my life so that I can focus on winning the BTWF Cruiserweight Championship," Kazuma ordered as he dropped the microphone in a nearby corner, and laid on his back completely, telling the referee to ring the bell.
"Is…is Kazuma serious here? This completely goes against what he's been saying for the past several weeks," Bob asked in confusion as the referee looked at an equally confused Aqua, but Aqua nodded, indicating the referee to tell the timekeeper to ring the bell. Once the bell rang, Aqua slowly walked over to a downed Kazuma, who was telling her to get the pinfall over with. Aqua knelt down and pinned Kazuma, still eyeing Kazuma with suspicion while hooking both of Kazuma's legs back.
Ref: 1…2..
"This match is-wait! Kazuma just pushed Aqua off! I thought he wanted to give the pin to Aqua!" Kotoko exclaimed in shock as Kazuma grabbed Aqua, and rolled her up, pulling her tights back as far as he could before the referee counted the pin.
Ref: 1…2…3
*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Kazuma Sato!" Tony Chimel announced, causing the crowd to explode into boos as Kazuma got up, and jumped up and down, acting like he just won the World Championship. Kazuma then forced the referee to raise his arm in victory as Aqua started tearing up in disappointment and anger. Kazuma then pushed the referee away and knelt in front of Aqua to laugh right in her face.
"You know, we should've expected something like this from a scumbag like Kazuma," Striker noted in disappointment as Kazuma asked Tony for his microphone again, which Tony once again obliged, handing the microphone to Kazuma, who kept it away from his mouth as he tried to contain his laughter.
"Oh man, that was good! I got you out of my life forever, and out of a job in the BTWF forever!" Kazuma exclaimed in between laughter as Aqua got back to her feet, trying to wipe the tears from her eyes.
"Aqua, I know, I'm crying about this too. I was laughing so hard, my eyes are practically drowning in tears," Kazuma said while continuing to chuckle before Aqua, not even able to look at Kazuma anymore, kept his head down and walked out of the ring, with the crowd continuing to boo Kazuma, who brushed all their hatred off.
"You see Crona? The reason I wanted to make sure you watched this match was that I wanted to show you how low I'm willing to sink to win that Cruiserweight Championship. I got screwed out of a one-on-one match at Trouble in Tokyo, and Aqua kept getting in my way of getting a rematch. So what did I do? I showcased my inner scumbag and got a goody-two-shoes like you to react. And at Christmas Chaos, I'm going to become the next BTWF Cruiserweight Champion while you can cry about what I did to Aqua!" Kazuma exclaimed as the crowd started cheering. Kazuma, thinking the cheers were for him, smirked and told the fans to keep it coming. However, Crona Gorgon had run down to the ring, climbed up to the top rope, and hit Kazuma with a Meteora once he turned around.
"And thankfully, our BTWF Cruiserweight Champion is here to shut Kazuma up!" Kotoko exclaimed as Crona mounted Kazuma and started punching him in the side of the head. Kazuma headbutted Crona in the side of the head before rolling out of the ring, causing the crowd to boo as Crona took the Cruiserweight Championship off of his waist, and raised the championship up in the air, yelling at Kazuma that he was never going to hold this championship.
"Well if Kazuma's goal was to make Crona angry, I'd say mission accomplished!" Bob exclaimed as Kazuma yelled back at Crona that the championship was coming home with him, Megumin, and Darkness. Crona jumped up to the middle turnbuckle, and raised championship further in the air, causing the crowd to cheer louder as he simply told Kazuma to wait for what happens at Christmas Chaos.
"You're absolutely right about that Bob, but Kazuma may come to regret his mind games!" Striker exclaimed as the camera panned to the backstage area, where Floch Forester was walking around the backstage area with a candy cane in his hand.
"Christmas time is fast approaching, and this is the time of year where everyone puts on a mask, where they pretend to be kind and respect their fellow man. It'd be pretty funny if it wasn't so sad," Floch said as he unwrapped the candy cane, and put it in his mouth. Floch then crumpled up the wrapper the candy cane came in, and threw it on the ground, far away from the nearest trash can.
"People talk about how they want to see honesty, but when someone like me, who's honest all the time, speaks their mind, they're always the first to try and shut me down," Floch explained before taking the candy cane out of his mouth and smirking at the sharp shape he had turned the bottom of the cane.
"Words can be as sharp as this candy cane, which is why people want others to hold their tongue and smile," Floch explained as a backstage attendant tapped Floch on the shoulder, and held the crumpled up wrapper. Floch looked at the backstage attendant with a laugh before slapping him in the face hard enough to knock the backstage attendant to his knees before taking the wrapper and throwing it into the nearby trash can. The camera then panned back to the stage, where Otis' 'Blue Collar Solid' theme song played, causing the crowd to cheer as Rolf came out of the back, putting a hand over his ear to hear the cheers for him.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, from the Old Country, Rolf!" Tony Chimel announced as Rolf tore his shirt off ala Hulk Hogan and started walking down the entrance ramp and to the ring. Rolf gave several fans in the front row a hi-five before Rolf flexed for the camera, and told the camera that Kilik was going down at Christmas Chaos.
"Kilik and Rolf are two young-bloods in the BTWF, and at Christmas Chaos, it's all about momentum," Bob explained as Rolf ran up the steel steps, turned to once again face the fans, and flexed for them, causing the crowd to cheer again before jumping over the top rope and going to the center of the ring. Rolf flexed his right arm before pointing to all the fans, who were cheering and chanting for Rolf as he went into the corner to stretch.
"Kilik has also said he doesn't like how, according to him, Rolf has been getting all these lucky breaks in the BTWF," Kotoko elaborated as 'Straight Out the Gate' by Tech N9ne (feat. Serj Tankian) played, causing the crowd to boo. However, those boos quickly turned into a mixed reaction of cheers and jeers as Boze and Shane came out, with miserable looks on their faces, and Nation of Domination 2.0 merchandise.
"And his opponent, representing the Nation of Domination 2.0 and accompanied to the ring by Shane, from Magnolia Fiore, Boze!" Tony Chimel announced as the crowd continued giving a mixed reaction as Boze and Shane talked to each other while walking to the ring. Rolf looked like he felt sorry for the two as Boze and Shane made it to ringside, with Boze giving Shane a fist bump before walking up the steel steps.
"The Nation of Domination 2.0 may not be here tonight, but their servants, Boze and Shane are, and you have to believe Kilik and Huey told them to stay behind and damage Rolf before Christmas Chaos," Striker explained as Boze walked into the ring, and looked on at Rolf with a blank look on his face. Boze sighed before walking up to Rolf and offering his hand to Rolf for a handshake, which Rolf accepted before telling the referee that they were ready to wrestle. The referee responded by telling the timekeeper to ring the bell.
"And this match is underway, and we'll see how far Boze and Shane will go to damage Rolf tonight," Bob explained as Rolf and Boze locked up in the middle of the ring with both men attempting to push the other into the corner, but Rolf is able to take Boze down with a Fireman's Carry, causing the crowd to cheer. Boze tried to get back to his feet, but Rolf takes Boze down with another Fireman's Carry Takedown before picking him back up and slamming Boze back down with a Double Leg Takedown Slam.
"Rolf overpowering Boze with some hard takedowns, clearly trying to discombobulate Boze," Striker explained as Rolf picked Boze up, and hit him with several European Uppercuts that sent him staggering back into a corner. The crowd continued to cheer as Rolf attempted to hit Boze with a Knife-Edge Chop, but Boze responded by blocking the chop and hitting Rolf several times in the chest with Knife-Edge Chops of his own before attempting to hit Rolf with a Side Kick. However, Rolf was able to grab Boze and hold him up, attempting to hit him with a Powerbomb, but Boze punched Rolf several times in the face before rolling him up with a Sunset Flip.

"And Rolf sends Boze flying with a Clothesline that would make JBL blush!" Kotoko exclaimed as Rolf ran the ropes, and hit Boze in the chest with a Jumping Elbow Drop to the chest. Rolf then picked Boze up again, attempting to hit him with another Scoop Slam, but Boze was able to slide out of it, turn Rolf around, and hit him with several punches to the side of the head and then ran the ropes, and attempted to hit him with a Flying Forearm, but Rolf was able to counter with a Snap Powerslam, before rolling him up into a pin.

"Boze able to kick out at a count of 2, but Rolf has been dominating this match so far," Bob explained as Boze rolled onto the apron, where Shane started pounding on the mat to try and get the fans to rally Boze back into the match. Rolf walked up to Boze and grabbed him by the ear, but the crowd gave a mixed reaction as Boze kicked Rolf in the side of the head before attempting to hit him with a Hotshot over the top rope. However, Rolf was able to block the Hotshot attempt and hit Boze with a couple of headbutts to the side of the head.
"And Rolf, with several brain-rattling headbutts to the side of Boze's head!" Striker exclaimed as Boze staggered on the apron before Rolf ran the ropes, and attempted to hit Boze with a Running Shoulder Thrust, but Boze was able to counter with a Jumping Leg Drop, sending Rolf's neck crashing into the 2nd rope. As Rolf's head was draped over the middle rope, Boze ran across the apron and hit Rolf with a Basement Dropkick that had enough force to send him falling back into the ring.
"Boze finally able to take over, using the ring ropes and his athleticism to take Rolf down to the mat!" Kotoko exclaimed as Boze climbed up to the top turnbuckle, waiting for Rolf to get back to his feet.

Ref: 1…2.

Boze ran into the corner, hitting Rolf with a Running Dropkick to the side of the head before hitting him with multiple Knife-Edge Chops to the chest.
"And Boze trying to keep Rolf in a constant state of attack so that Rolf wouldn't be able to use the power advantage," Kotoko explained as Boze ran the ropes, and hit a Jumping Heel Kick in the corner to Rolf's face. The crowd continued to give a mix of cheers and boos before Boze grabbed Rolf in a Front Facelock, and hit him with a quick DDT. Boze went back to stomping on Rolf's face and chest before running the ropes and hitting Rolf with a Jumping Stomp to the face.

Ref: 1…2.
"Rolf once again surviving the onslaught given to him by Boze, who is probably targeting the head and neck on orders of Kilik, who targets those areas with his fists," Striker explained as Boze grabbed Rolf in a Cravate, and kneed him in the face before sending him down with a Snapmare. Boze then ran the ropes, and hit a Running Dropkick to a seated Rolf, and then mounted him to hit him with multiple punches to the face. The referee pulled Boze off of him, and while the referee was distracted, Shane sighed before kicking Rolf in the face.
"And Shane, also on orders of the Nation of Domination 2.0, helping Boze to make sure he gets the win!" Kotoko exclaimed as Boze took advantage of this by grabbing Rolf's hair and hitting him with a Reverse DDT. The crowd continued to give a mixed reaction as Boze picked Mordecai up again, and hit him with a Spinebuster before going for a pinfall.
Ref: 1…2.

"Rolf trying to get back to his feet, and you have to believe once he gets back to his feet, he's going to break the hold," Bob explained. However, Boze hit a couple of headbutts to the side of Rolf's head, and sent him back to the ground, locking him in a Crossface. The crowd continued to give a mixed reaction as Rolf tried to drag himself to the ropes so that he could trigger a ropebreak.

Ref: 1…2.
"Boze able to escape that pinning situation while keeping the Crossface locked in tight!" Striker exclaimed as Boze pulled back, putting even more pressure on Rolf's neck, face, and arm. However, after another thirty seconds in the hold, Rolf started getting back to his feet once again while Boze still had the Crossface locked in. The crowd cheered as Boze tried to pull Rolf back down, but Rolf was able to knock Boze down with a Samoan Drop, causing him to finally let go of the Crossface.

However, Boze was able to duck and attempted to hit a rebounding Rolf with a Side Kick, but Rolf ducked that kick and was finally able to knock Boze down with a Big Boot to the face.
"And Rolf finally takes the features clean off of Boze's face with that Big Boot!" Kotoko exclaimed as Rolf started beating his chest with one arm while waiting for Boze to get back up.

Striker exclaimed as Rolf picked Boze up, and threw him into the corner before running into the corner, and hitting him with a Spinning Stinger Splash. The crowd continued to cheer as Rolf threw Boze out of the corner with an Exploder Suplex before jumping up to the 2nd rope. However, when Rolf dived off of the top rope in an attempt to hit him with a Diving Splash, Boze put his knees up, causing the crowd to give a mixed reaction as Rolf crashed right into Boze's knees.
"Oh! And speaking of taking the breath out of your lungs!" Bob exclaimed as Boze got back up to his feet, and finally hit Rolf in the side of the head with the Harlem Side Kick. However, Rolf was able to use the ropes to stay on his feet, and Boze responds to this by kicking Rolf's arm off of the ropes, grabbing his right arm, wrung his arm, and hitting him with an Arm Wringer Kick to the face of Rolf, sending him falling on his back.
"Boze coming back with a series of kicks, sending Rolf back down on his back!" Kotoko exclaimed as Boze shook his head in annoyance before climbing up the top rope.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Rolf!" Tony Chimel announced as Rolf got onto his feet, and raised both of his fists. The referee then grabbed Rolf's right wrist, keeping his arm up in victory as Boze rolled out of the ring while holding his jaw. Rolf let go of the referee and started flexing and posing in the middle of the ring, causing the crowd to cheer louder as they chanted his name.
"Rolf getting one over on the Nation of Domination 2.0, defeating one of their unwilling henchmen!" Striker exclaimed as Shane, coughing from Rolf's Urban Spike (Samoan Spike) to the throat, helped Boze back to his feet as Rolf continued to celebrate in the ring. Rolf then rolled out of the ring from underneath the bottom rope and raised his right fist up while giving several fans some hi-fives.
"I don't even want to imagine what is in store as punishment for Boze and Shane for failing in their mission," Kotoko lamented as Shane ran his hand through his hair in worry while Boze started regaining his senses, and sighed in worry as he realized that he and Shane were in trouble. Rolf, meanwhile, walked to the back behind Boze and Shane, hi-fiving the fans he could at the ringside area, while cricking his neck.
"Be that as it may, Rolf was able to get some momentum heading into his match with Kilik at Christmas Chaos, but will Christmas Chaos have the same story as tonight?" Bob asked as the camera panned to the back, where Miwa Kasumi was standing next to BTWF International Champion Gaara, who was holding onto his championship while wearing sunglasses and smirking at the camera.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Miwa Kasumi, and I'm here with the BTWF International Champion Gaara, who will be a part of the Lethal Lockdown main event at Christmas Chaos. Now Gaara, what's going through your mind heading into the 12 tag team main event tonight," Miwa explained as Gaara patted his BTWF International Championship before responding.
"What's going through my mind? It's a perfect excuse to not only get my hands on that little shrimp Elric, but also the BTWF World Heavyweight Champion Zancrow, and as far as I'm concerned, that makes me being in this main event worth it," Gaara explained as Miwa raised an eyebrow before putting the microphone back from underneath his mouth.
"Why are you interested in getting in the ring with the BTWF World Heavyweight Champion, who's not even going to be focused on you and rather be focused on his #1 contender, Katsuki Bakugo?" Miwa asked as Gaara let out a laugh before patting Miwa on the back somewhat hard and responding.
"Because, genius, this International Championship is my stepping stone to the World Heavyweight Championship, and if I want to test myself on how I would do against the BTWF World Heavyweight Champion, I have to get in the ring with him. And this match is going to give me that opportunity, and when I get my hands on him, I'm going to show the fans here why I'm the one worthy of being the World Heavyweight Champion. And if I have to team up with the NWO to do it, then that's what I'm going to do," Gaara explained before once again patting Miwa on the back and leaving the backstage interview area. The camera panned to a commercial break as Miwa looked uncomfortable as she felt her back for any bumps or wounds.
*Commercial Break*
*Commercial Over*
The camera panned to Zancrow, who was hanging the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship off of the top of a chain-link fence.
"Tonight is the last opportunity for Bakugo to show me that he is not afraid before we meet in the Devil's Playground of our Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match at Christmas Chaos. Now, when we get in the ring, I expect one of two things. One would be that you hide behind every member of the NWO you have available to protect yourself from the beating that I have planned for you," Zancrow explained as he turned towards the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship, and stroked the championship with his right hand.
"Or, you can come into the ring when I am in the ring, and when we face-off, you actually throw the first punch. Because Bakugo, if you hide behind the NWO during our match, my victory at Christmas Chaos is all but guaranteed," Zancrow explained before grabbing his BTWF World Heavyweight Championship and walking out of the area before the camera panned back to the stage, where the lights in the arena went down, causing the crowd to boo as the lights in the arena turned blood red and 'Knives' by Bullet For My Valentine played. A row of fire rose from the stage as Ultear and Tomoko came walking out of the back, smiling at the blazing fire.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, accompanied to the ring by one half of the BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions Ultear Milkovich and representing the Sisterhood of Darkness, from Chiba City in Tokyo Japan, she is the other half of the BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions, Tomoko Kuroki!" Tony Chimel announced as Ultear and Tomoko walked through the fire before walking down the entranceway.
"The BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions have come to Intensity to focus in Yang and Ruby, who are going to be their opponents come Christmas Chaos," Bob explained as Tomoko stuck her tongue out at the booing fans while Ultear held the BTWF Women's Tag Team title belt up in the air. Ultear then fell to her knees and crawled to the ringside area while Tomoko followed her from behind. Tomoko then glared at the crowd before shooting her head up, and spitting blood into the air, causing the crowd to explode into boos as Ultear stuck her tongue out to catch the blood droplets.
"Ultear and Tomoko have reveled in the tension the Sisterhood has caused between Yang and Ruby, but you have to imagine they're frustrated that the tension seems to have been smoothed over," Kotoko noted as Ultear got back to her feet, and rolled into the ring, quickly followed by Tomoko. Ultear kipped back up to her feet and went up to the middle turnbuckle as Tomoko rolled around the ring while cackling with glee.
"Maybe, but if there's one thing that the Sisterhood of Darkness are known for, it's focusing on bringing violence to their opponent," Striker explained as Ultear jumped back down to the mat, hugged Tomoko while she was still laying on the ground, took her half of the BTWF Women's Tag Team Championships, and rolled out of the ring. Tomoko kipped back up to her feet, her mouth dripping with the blood she had spat out earlier. While Tomoko was staring at the crowd, 'Centuries' by Fall Out Boy played, causing the crowd to explode into cheers as Ruby and Yang came out of the back.
"And her opponent, accompanied to the ring by Yang Xiao Long, from the Island of Patch Remnant, she is Ruby Rose!" Tony Chimel announced. The crowd cheered louder as Yang and Ruby hugged each other on the center of the stage before they walked down the entranceway. The crowd continued to cheer as Ruby and Yang hi-fived several fans in the front row while Tomoko and Ultear were watching the two.
"Ruby and Yang seem to have moved past Yang's behavior over the past couple of months, and are a cohesive unit once again," Bob noted as Yang and Ruby, when they came to the ringside area, hi-fived each other before Yang pulled Ruby closer, and started telling her battle strategy for the match. Ruby nodded before patting Yang on the back and rolling into the ring from underneath the bottom rope.
"And it already looks like it's paying dividends for Ruby's emotional state, as Ruby seems to have a real smile on her face for the first time in what feels like a couple of months," Striker noted as Ruby walked up to Tomoko, which Tomoko responded to by smiling at her, wiping some of the blood dripping out of her mouth with her finger, and rubbed it on Ruby's cheek. The crowd booed as Ruby jumped away from Tomoko, who put her bloody finger in her mouth and licked the blood off.
"And we thought that Toga was the only bloodthirsty member of the Sisterhood of Darkness!" Kotoko exclaimed in shock as the referee made sure both women were ready before telling the timekeeper to ring the bell. When the bell rang, Ruby and Tomoko ran at each other and started exchanging punches with each other before Ruby kicked Tomoko in the gut, sending her pushing back. The crowd cheered as Ruby ran the ropes, and hit a Running Crossbody onto Tomoko, the crowd cheering louder as Ruby hit Tomoko with several punches to the side of the head. Ruby got off of Tomoko, picked her back up, and hit her with several forearms to the side of Tomoko's head.
"Ruby may be feeling better mentally after her and Yang's reconciliation, but now that she's focused, Ruby's showcasing all the aggression that she's meant to show to the Sisterhood!" Striker exclaimed as Tomoko kicked Ruby in the gut a couple of times, and attempted to send her into the corner with an Irish whip, but Ruby countered, sending Tomoko crashing into the corner. The crowd continued to cheer as Ruby ran into the corner, and hit Tomoko with a Running Knee Strike before throwing her out of the corner with a Monkey Flip.
"It takes impressive leg strength to throw someone across the ring like that, even if it is someone as small as Tomoko," Bob noted as Ruby ran the ropes, and hit a Running Shooting Star Press onto Tomoko before going for a pin, hooking both of her legs back.
Ref: 1…
Tomoko was able to kick out and attempted to grab Ruby by the hair, but Ruby hit a couple of knee strikes to the gut before running the ropes and hitting a Running Knee Strike to the face. Tomoko staggered around the ring before Ruby took her down with a Hurricanrana, causing the crowd to cheer, but when Ruby attempted to hit her with a Senton, Tomoko rolled out of the apron.
"And Tomoko trying to take a break from the beatdown that Ruby has been dishing out here!" Kotoko exclaimed as Ruby ran at Tomoko, and hit her with a Running Dropkick to the side of the head, sending her falling off of the apron and onto the padded concrete floor. Ruby jumped over the ropes and onto the ring apron and waited for Tomoko to get back to her feet before hitting a now standing Tomoko with a Running Cannonball.
"Ruby has been dominating Tomoko in the early goings of this match," Bob noted as Ultear started walking up to Ruby as she was staggering back to her feet, causing the crowd to boo as Ruby took her eyes of Tomoko and started arguing with Ultear. Yang walked up next to Ruby, causing the crowd to go back to cheering as Yang told Ultear to back off, which she did while glaring at Yang. Tomoko was able to get back to her feet and hit Ruby with a Running Knee to the back that sent Ruby crashing into the apron ribs first while the referee began her count.
Ref: 1…2…3
"Tomoko sending Ruby crashing into the ring apron chest first, sending the ribs and chest crashing into the steel!" Striker exclaimed as Tomoko pushed Yang away, and started stomping on Ruby's chest before picking her back up and throwing her into the steel ring post, sending her chest once again crashing into the steel. Tomoko smirked at the booing fans before turning Ruby around and hitting her with several chops to the chest while the referee continued to count the two women out.

Tomoko threw Ruby back into the ring, jumped onto the apron, and springboarded back into the ring with a Springboard Senton, crashing into Ruby's chest before going for a pin.

"Tomoko getting a two count there, finally gaining some momentum against one of her challengers," Bob noted as Tomoko grabbed the top rope, and pulled herself up before dropping a knee right onto Ruby's chest. The crowd continued to boo as Tomoko continued to hit Jumping Knee Drops with a rope assist onto Ruby's chest before the referee threatened to disqualify Tomoko. Tomoko grabbed Ruby by the hair and started clubbing her in the face with multiple Crossface shots, causing the crowd to boo as Tomoko started biting Ruby on the top of the head.
"Tomoko getting vicious here, biting the top of Ruby's head!" Kotoko exclaimed as Tomoko grabbed Ruby by the hair, and started slamming the back of her head multiple times into the ring canvas before the referee once again stepped in, telling Tomoko to back off. Tomoko hit a couple of Leg Drops across Ruby's throat before running the ropes, and hitting Ruby with a Jumping Leg Drop across the throat. Tomoko then hit a couple of Falling Headbutts to the top of Ruby's head before going for another pin, hooking both of her legs back.
Ref: 1…2
"Ruby kicking out again, but you have to believe with those tough headbutts, she may be dazed when she gets back to her feet," Striker explained as Tomoko picked Ruby up, and hit her with several quick Right-Handed Jabs to the face, sending Ruby staggering into a nearby corner. The crowd booed as Tomoko stomped on Ruby's gut until the referee pulled her out of the corner, but Tomoko immediately went back on the attack, hitting several high-impact Knee Strikes to the gut of Ruby, sending her falling out of the corner and on her knees.
"Tomoko must've been working on her striking ability because Ruby is trying to get air back in her lungs from all these strikes to the chest," Kotoko noted as Tomoko slapped Ruby in the back of the head before jumping up to the middle turnbuckle. When Ruby started to get back up to her feet, Tomoko hit Ruby in the back with a Missile Dropkick with enough force to send Ruby into the ropes, with her head draped over the 2nd rope.
"And that Missile Dropkick sent Ruby into the ropes, and look who's staring a hole through Ruby," Bob noted as Ultear glared at a semi-conscious Ruby. Tomoko ran the ropes, and hit Ruby with a Running Knee to the back, sending her throat pushing into the middle rope. Tomoko then kicked the middle rope, causing Ruby to jump away from the ropes, holding onto her throat before Tomoko took her back to the canvas with a Neckbreaker before going for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…2.
"Very nice neckbreaker by Tomoko, but Ruby is still able to power out at the count of 2," Kotoko narrated as Tomoko grabbed Ruby by the hair, and started ramming her knee into Ruby's back. The crowd continued to boo as Tomoko kicked Ruby in the back multiple times, and stomped on Ruby's face. Tomoko grabbed Ruby by the hair and started punching her in the side of the head before hitting her with a Jumping Dropkick to the side of the head, sending Ruby rolling away.
"Tomoko once again showing why she's one of the most underrated brawlers and strikers in the BTWF!" Bob exclaimed as Tomoko picked Ruby up, and smacked her in the side of the head a couple of times with punched. However, the crowd started cheering again as Ruby blocked one of the punches, and hit several Knife-Edge Chops to Tomoko's chest, but Tomoko quickly responded with a poke to the eye.

Ref: 1…2..

The crowd booed as Tomoko yelled at Yang that she would've made a great member of the Sisterhood before putting the fingers on her left hand in Ruby's mouth, and pulling on it to add more discomfort to the hold.
"I don't know what makes Tomoko think that Yang would have even wanted to join the Sisterhood of Darkness given all the torment that the Sisterhood has put onto her," Bob noted as Ruby shook her head, causing Tomoko to move her mouth away from Ruby, but Ruby was still trapped in the Chinlock. Tomoko also increased the pain by hitting Ruby with multiple knees to the back, but this did not stop Ruby from trying to get back to her feet. The crowd cheered as Ruby hit multiple elbows to the gut of Tomoko, pushing her away and attempting to hit her with a Clothesline, but Tomoko was able to dodge this Clothesline and hit her with the Backstabber before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"A kickout at a close 2 after that vicious Backstabber, but you have to remember Bob, the Sisterhood of Darkness is full of lost and tortured souls like Yang has been acting like since having her eye almost burned off," Striker responded as Tomoko glared at a still in the match Ruby before she started climbing up the top rope. When Tomoko got herself balanced on the top rope, she let out a primal scream before diving off of the top rope, attempting to hit a Diving Knee Drop, but Ruby was able to dodge, causing Tomoko to send her knee crashing into the mat.
"And Tomoko swings and misses, sending her knee crashing right into the mat!"

The crowd booed as Ruby staggered onto her knees before Yang grabbed Ultear by the leg, and pulled her off of the apron.
"Ruby is hit with a vicious big boot to the side of the head, but Yang is right there to make sure that the big boot is the only thing that Ultear does!" Bob exclaimed as Yang and Ultear started brawling outside of the ring, causing the crowd to cheer as Tomoko glared at Yang before going into the corner, and attempting to hit a Knee Trembler.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Ruby Rose!" Tony Chimel announced as Ruby immediately noticed that Yang and Ultear were continuing to exchange punches with each other. Rather than celebrate with the referee, Ruby ran through the middle ropes, and hit a Suicide Dive onto Ultear, sending her crashing into the security barricade. The crowd continued to cheer as Ruby mounted Ultear, and hit her with multiple punches and forearms to the face while Yang got her bearings back.
"Ruby able to get the victory on Tomoko, but she's clearly not done yet, going after the other half of the BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions!" Striker exclaimed as once Yang got her bearings back, she and Ruby dragged Ultear in front of the announcers' table. Ultear tried to fight out of whatever Ruby and Yang had planned, but Ruby and Yang hit Ultear with a Double Superkick to the face. The crowd continued to cheer as Ruby and Yang grabbed Ultear, and hit her with a Double Flapjack onto the announcers' table.
"Oh! Ruby and Yang showing that they are back on the same page, and are ready to get their championships back!" Bob exclaimed as the covering of the announcers' table went flying off of the table due to the force of how hard Ultear landed on the announcers' table. Ruby and Yang then grabbed the BTWF Women's Tag Team Championships from the ringside attendants, and raised them up, causing the crowd to cheer louder as they gave the fans a preview of what could happen at Christmas Chaos.
"If we have this Team RWBY at Christmas Chaos, then we just may have two-time BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions!" Kotoko exclaimed as the camera panned to the back with Ruby and Yang celebrating together while Tomoko rolled out of the ring to check on Ultear. The camera panned back to the backstage interview area where Katsuki Bakugo and the NWO (Pete Corvus, Kite, Jellal Fernandes, and Mercury Black) were standing next to Levy McGarden.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the NWO, who will be involved in our 12 man tag team main event-" Levy tried to explain before Bakugo grabbed the microphone, and stood right in the line of the camera's sight.
"I fucking know that! The only reason we even agreed to take part in this stupid match is so that we can show Deku and his team of losers how a real team operates!" Bakugo exclaimed as Jellal and Mercury patted him on the back while Levy tried to take the microphone back. However, Bakugo pushed Levy away and continued talking into the camera, even poking the camera lens with his pointer finger.
"I don't know what you think you're going to accomplish by stepping in Lethal Lockdown with the NWO, Deku, but it proves something to me; you're dumber than you look. And as for the wannabe Undertaker holding MY BTWF World Heavyweight Championship, in our TLC match, I'm going to show him why I'm the star of Intensity, and why that belt belongs to me! And if he thinks that I'm afraid of him, then I'll also show him why he's wrong about that when I leave him lying in the middle of that ring!" Bakugo exclaimed as he threw the microphone back at Levy, who barely caught it in her hands, causing Jellal to snicker at her before they left the interview area. Before Levy could leave, a furious Crona came stomping over to Levy and held the microphone in place.
"Sorry for kind of cornering you Levy, but I am pissed off. Kazuma wants to get in my head my mistreating the women that have helped him even get to the spot he has on Intensity. My mother is a BTWF Hall of Famer, who always taught me if I can't do anything else, I should treat a woman right. Kazuma goes against everything I've learned in my childhood," Crona explained in a calm tone that clearly had some anger in the back of his throat.
"Well for what it's worth, I'm rooting for you at Christmas Chaos Crona," Levy said as Crona gave Levy a polite nod.
"I appreciate that, and I know a lot of the fans here are going to be rooting for me to retain the BTWF Cruiserweight Championship. But there's nobody more excited to finally shut Kazuma's mouth than me," Crona explained before leaving the interview area, slightly tightening his grip on the BTWF Cruiserweight Championship. The camera then panned to a commercial break as Levy straightened out her dress and left the interview area from the other side.
*Commercial Break*
*Commercial Over*
The camera panned to the backstage interview area, where Scott Stanford was standing next to Tanjiro Kamado and Ganta Igarashi (Japanese Destroyers).
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the Japanese Destroyers, who saw their Christmas Chaos opponents, Gray Fullbuster and Lyon Bastia, defeat the former BTWF Tag Team Champions. How are you guys feeling after your opponents got this impressive victory?" Scott asked as Tanjiro moved closer to answer.
"It was an impressive victory, don't get me wrong, but Robbie and Thompson aren't me or Ganta. Gray and Lyon may make light of our style, but it's this style that made us successful," Tanjiro explained before Ganta jumped into frame, and moved closer to the microphone, slightly freaking out Scott and Tanjiro.
"That's right! If Gray and Lyon think that they're messing with us, then they're dead wrong! At Christmas Chaos, we're going to send Fiore's Top Team right to the bottom so that we can ascend to the top and win those BTWF Tag Team Championships!" Ganta exclaimed while jumping up and down. Tanjiro patted Ganta on the shoulder, calming Ganta down slightly before returning his attention to Scott Stanford.
"Yeah…what Ganta said," Tanjiro agreed before he and Ganta hi-fived each other and left the interview area. However, before Scott could leave, Lisa Simpson and Louise Belcher came into the backstage interview area.
"Sorry to interrupt you, Scott, but we have an announcement we'd like to make," Lisa explained as Louise grabbed the microphone from Stanford's hand, and stood next to Lisa with a smile on her face.
"That's right Lisa, after the amazing success of tonight's Lisa and Louise's Classroom, we're going to host another edition of the Classroom at Christmas Chaos," Louise elaborated as Stanford leaned forward so he could speak into his microphone.
"That is some big news. Who are going to be your guests at the PPV?" Scott asked as Louise moved the microphone away from Stanford, and kept her eyes on the camera.
"Our guests are going to be those two overly competitive derelicts, who spend more of their time here in meaningless contests than actually wrestling," Louise described as Lisa jumped in and nodded in approval.
"That's right, Kohaku and Homura Momiji are going to be our guests at Christmas Chaos. See you there ladies, perhaps you'll learn something," Lisa explained as Louise threw the microphone back into Scott's hands. Louise and Lisa then left the interview area before the camera panned to the stage. The lights in the arena went out as Damian Priest's 'Nightmare' theme song played, causing the crowd to boo as a red laser circle appeared on the center of the stage as Gaara came walking out of the back, holding the BTWF International Championship in his fist.
"The following contest is a 12 man tag team match, scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, from the Sand Village, he is the BTWF International Champion, Gaara!" Tony Chimel announced, causing the crowd to boo as Gaara continued his walk to the ring. However, when he was in the middle of the entranceway, the lights in the arena went back on, and 'MANTRA' by Bring Me the Horizon played, causing the crowd to boo louder as Bakugo came out with the rest of the NWO following him from behind.
"And his partners, representing the NWO, they are the BTWF Tag Team Champions Pete Corvus & Kite, Jellal Fernandes, Mercury Black, and Katsuki Bakugo!" Tony Chimel announced. The crowd booed louder as Bakugo led his troops to where Gaara had stood still on the entranceway. Bakugo and Gaara gave each other a fist bump while Corvus and Kite were showing off their newly won BTWF Tag Team Championships by raising them up.
"Question Bakugo's methods and attitude all you want, but one thing he is right about is that the NWO are a more cohesive and experienced team than Midoriya's," Striker explained as Gaara rolled into the ring through the middle rope, kipping back to his feet when he made it to the center of the ring, raising the BTWF International Championship over his head. The NWO followed Bakugo up the steps, with Corvus and Kite continuing to show off their BTWF Tag Team Championships as the five men went into the ring.
"You're right there Matt, but there are also plenty of egos involved in this team. They may be cohesive now, but with guys like Bakugo, Jellal, and Gaara on the same team, there's going to be some trouble brewing," Kotoko countered as Bakugo raised both fists in the air as Corvus and Kite jumped up to the 2nd turnbuckle, and continued showing off their BTWF Tag Team Championships. Jellal and Mercury gave Bakugo supportive slaps on the shoulder while Gaara put his BTWF International Championship on the top of the steel steps.
"You both make excellent points, but matches like these, along with the Lethal Lockdown match, are as unpredictable as unpredictable come," Bob noted as 'Face 2 Face' by Citizen Soldier played, causing the crowd to cheer loudly as Midoriya came running out of the back, with his team accompanying him out of the back with just as much excitement.
"And introducing their opponents first, the team of the BTWF Hardcore Champion Izuku Midoriya, 'the Perfect Irishman' Kurt Bale, 'Ace' Hitman Jones, Mirio Togata, and Edward Elric!" Tony Chimel announced as all five men hi-fived the fans in the front row, before briefly turning their attention to their opponents in the ring, glaring at the NWO. Bakugo yelled at Team Midoriya to bring Zancrow out, causing Midoriya and the rest of Team Midoriya to smirk as the lights in the arena went out.
"Well be careful what you wish for Bakugo because you're about to get it!" Kotoko exclaimed as the crowd exploded as the gong sound went off a couple of times before the lights in the arena went back up, where BTWF World Heavyweight Champion Zancrow was in the middle of the ring. The crowd exploded as Zancrow, before taking his hat, coat, and title off, knocked Bakugo, Jellal, and Mercury on their asses with jabs before taking the coat, hat, and belt off, ready for a fight.
"Zancrow firing the first shot, wanting to see how Bakugo responds! Will Bakugo go face to face with Zancrow!?" Striker exclaimed as the rest of Team Midoriya got onto the apron, and Bakugo started shaking with rage while holding his face. The referee made sure both teams were ready before ringing the bell, with Zancrow and Bakugo in the ring. Bakugo hesitated slightly but attempted to lock up with Zancrow, but Zancrow grabbed Bakugo by the throat and threw him into the corner. The crowd cheered as Zancrow started punching Bakugo in the gut and chest, but the crowd booed as Bakugo poked Zancrow in the eye, and rushed into his corner to tag Mercury into the match.
"And Bakugo almost immediately tagging out of the match, escaping Zancrow's wrath! Did he just prove Zancrow's point there!?" Kotoko narrated and asked as Mercury ran into the ring, attempting to hit Zancrow with a Running Forearm, but Zancrow was able to counter with a Hip Toss. The crowd continued to cheer as Zancrow threw Mercury into his corner, and started hitting him with multiple jabs to the chest, midsection, and face before Mirio tagged himself into the match.
"I don't think so. Bakugo did step up to him, it wasn't successful, and now he's on the apron trying to regroup," Bob countered as Zancrow ran the ropes, and hit Mercury with a Corner Clothesline, and then moved out of the way to allow Mirio to hit a Jumping Spin Kick to the side of Mercury's face. The crowd continued to cheer as Mirio picked Mercury up, and body-slammed him onto the ground before running the ropes and hitting a Jumping Twisting Elbow Drop onto Mercury's chest before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…
"Mercury able to get out of the pin at the count of 1, but with a Powerhouse like Mirio as his opponent, he may need to get out of the ring ASAP," Striker explained as Mirio started punching Mercury in the face before throwing him into the corner again. Mirio attempted to hit Mercury with a Running Corner Clothesline, but Mercury was able to put his feet up, causing Mirio's face to run right into Mercury's feet. Mercury then jumped on the middle turnbuckle and attempted to hit Mirio with a Diving Forearm, but Mirio was able to catch him and throw him halfway across the ring with an Exploder Suplex.
"Mirio able to turn that dive into a beautiful Exploder Suplex! Mercury was almost thrown right out of the ring!" Bob exclaimed as Mirio waited for Mercury to get up before hitting him with a Spinning Leg Lariat, and tagging Hitman into the match. The crowd cheered as Hitman climbed the ropes, and then got onto Hitman's shoulders, before Mirio moved closer to Mercury, and allowed Hitman to hit Mercury with the Quebec Crash. The crowd continued to cheer as Hitman hit a Spinning Leg Drop across Mercury's throat before stomping him in the gut several times.
"Team Midoriya trying to show the NWO that they are ready for Lethal Lockdown!" Kotoko exclaimed as Hitman ran the ropes and hit a seated Mercury with a Running Dropkick to the side of the head before going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2
Hitman grabbed Mercury by the arm, pulled him back to his feet, started wringing his arm, and attempted to tag Zancrow into the match, but Mercury kicked Hitman in the gut several times before throwing him into the ropes. However, Hitman hit a Handspring Back Elbow out of the throw and sent Mercury to the outside. The crowd cheered louder as Jellal and Gaara attempted to come into the ring, but Bale and Elric were able to take them both down with Springboard Crossbodies from the apron.
"And some more teamwork being showcased here, with Elric and Bale taking out two other members of Team NWO!" Striker exclaimed as Elric kicked Gaara out of the ring and immediately began brawling with him while Bale threw Jellal out of the ring. Hitman, meanwhile, noticed that Mercury was getting back to his feet, and responded by running the ropes, and sending Mercury crashing into the fan barricade back first with a Suicide Dive. The crowd continued to cheer as Hitman noticed Kite coming his way, and hit him with a Superkick, leaving him vulnerable for a Midoriya Running Cannonball Senton from the apron to the floor.
"I agree with you there Matt, the team seems to be working as a cohesive unit, for the most part," Kotoko admitted as Gaara and Elric continued to brawl to the point where they fell over the fan barricade. Meanwhile, Hitman grabbed Mercury and hit him with several Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before grabbing him by the hair and throwing him back into the ring. While the referee was distracted by Mercury, Bakugo ran from behind Hitman and clipped the back of his knee with a Chop Block.
"And Bakugo, sending Hitman down with a Chop Block!" Bob exclaimed as Bakugo began stomping on the knee before picking Hitman up and throwing him back into the ring. Mercury immediately took advantage by stomping on Hitman's knee while outside in the crowd, Gaara and Elric were continuing their brawl, brawling up the stairs while the crowd was cheering them on.
"It looks like Gaara and Elric will be out of the equation for a while, as it looks like they aren't going to stop their brawl anytime soon!" Striker exclaimed as Mercury grabbed Hitman's right leg, and tagged Corvus into the match. The crowd booed as Mercury kicked the back of Hitman's knee, and held it back to allow Corvus the same luxury. Corvus then hit several Elbow Drops to Hitman's right leg before running the ropes and hitting him in the chest with a Jumping Senton before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
"Hitman getting crushed by Corvus' senton, but was still able to kick out at 2," Bob narrated as Corvus stomped on Hitman's chest and right leg before tagging Kite into the ring. The two picked Hitman up and hit him with a Double Vertical Suplex before Kite hit a Jumping Leg Drop across Hitman's neck before Corvus ran the ropes, and hit a Jumping Elbow Drop across Hitman's chest. Kite then continued the attack on the leg by stomping on Hitman's right knee before running the ropes and hitting a Running Elbow Drop to Hitman's right leg.
"The NWO trying to cut the legs out from underneath the daredevil of Team Midoriya before he could even make it to the Lethal Lockdown match," Striker noted as Kite picked Hitman up, and hit him with a Shin Breaker/Back Suplex combination before bridging into another pin, hooking the right leg back as far as he can.
Ref: 1…2.
Kite dragged Hitman back to his corner, and tagged Bakugo into the match, causing the crowd to boo louder as Bakugo did the Ronnie Garvin style stomps to the legs, arms, and face of Hitman. Bakugo flipped off the wrestlers of Team Midoriya on the apron before running the ropes, and hitting Hitman with a Running Pinpoint Elbow to the throat. Bakugo then grabbed Hitman's right leg and started punching him in the side of the leg before ramming his knee into the canvas multiple times.
"Bakugo using his trademark aggressiveness to target the leg of Hitman, much like his partners had been doing," Kotoko noted as Bakugo picked Hitman up, and threw him into the corner. The crowd continued to boo as Bakugo ran into the corner, with a Running Forearm to Hitman's face before punching Hitman multiple times in the face until Hitman staggered and fell out of the ring. Bakugo hit a couple of Penalty Kicks to the chest of Hitman before running the ropes again and hitting Hitman with a Running Knee right to the side of the head before going for a pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Bakugo almost knocked Hitman out with that vicious knee to the side of the head!" Bob exclaimed as Bakugo picked Hitman up, and clubbed him in the back before tagging Jellal into the match. Jellal held Hitman's arms back, allowing Bakugo to hit multiple punches to the gut before paint-brushing Hitman in the face. Jellal immediately sent Hitman down with a Back Suplex before running the ropes and hitting him with a Jumping Stomp to the face. Jellal then yelled at the rest of Team Midoriya on the apron before hitting Hitman with another Leg Drop across the throat of Hitman.
"The NWO are doing a good job of keeping Hitman on the ground and away from his partners," Striker explained as Jellal grabbed Hitman, and sent him down to the ground with a quick Dragon Screw before dropping a knee onto his leg. Jellal then threw Hitman into the corner, before slapping Bale and Midoriya in the face, causing Bale to try and get into the ring, but the referee was able to put him back into the apron. Meanwhile, Mercury, Corvus, Kite, and Bakugo were punching and kicking at Hitman, sending him falling on the ground face first.
"The NWO once again showing their excellent teamwork, taking advantage of the referee's distraction!" Kotoko exclaimed as Jellal grabbed Hitman, and hit him with a Suplex Neckbreaker before going for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…2..
Jellal immediately grabbed Hitman, and locked him in a Figure-4-Leglock, causing the crowd to boo as Jellal kicked at Hitman's knees as Hitman tried to drag himself to the ropes. While Hitman was trying to drag himself to the ropes, Kite and Corvus kicked Hitman's hands away, allowing Jellal to drag Hitman back to the center of the ring.
"The NWO once again keeping Hitman from breaking the Figure-4-Leglock!" Bob narrated as Hitman sat himself up, and started punching Jellal in the face in an attempt to get him off. However, Jellal continued to stretch Hitman's legs with the Figure-4-Leglock, while Hitman continued to try and fight out of it. After another minute, the crowd cheered as Hitman stood up once again, and hit multiple Knife-Edge Chops to Jellal's chest, allowing Hitman to finally free himself from the Figure-4-Leglock. Jellal immediately attempted to get back to his feet and knock Hitman back down with a Clothesline, but Hitman was able to throw Jellal out of the ring before trying to run to his corner and tag a partner in.
"Hitman finally able to create some separation between him and the NWO, but he needs to get into the corner quickly!" Striker exclaimed as Hitman fell onto his knees, but Jellal was also on his knees on the outside. Mercury ran into the ring and attempted to grab Hitman by the legs, but Hitman knocked Mercury away with an Enziguri before jumping into the corner and tagging Bale into the match. The crowd cheered as Bale jumped up to the top turnbuckle, and hit a Crossbody onto Mercury before running the ropes and hitting a Diving Senton onto the outside and onto Jellal.
"Bale taking the term 'hot tag' to a whole new level as he took out Mercury and Jellal within a matter of seconds!" Kotoko exclaimed as Bale threw Jellal back into the ring before clocking Corvus, Kite, and Bakugo in the face with punches. When Jellal got back on his feet, Bale ran at him, hit him with several clotheslines, a kick to the gut, a Spinning Kick to the side of the head, and then ran the ropes before springboarding off of the 2nd rope and hit Jellal with a Springboard Bulldog before going for a pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"I've never seen someone hit a Springboard Bulldog like that, but Jellal was still able to kick out!" Bob exclaimed as Bale ran the ropes, and hit a Springboard Leg Drop across Jellal's throat before picking Jellal up, and attempting to hit him with the Ushigaroshi. However, Mercury ran into the ring and hit him with a kick to the side of the head, sending Jellal falling off of Bale's shoulders. The crowd exploded as Midoriya ran into the ring, and hit a Running Big Boot to the side of Mercury's face.
"And I think we're going to get another breakdown here!" Kotoko exclaimed as Bakugo ran into the ring, with Midoriya and Bakugo starting to brawl with each other in the middle of the ring, causing the crowd to cheer before Zancrow went into the ring. Bakugo noticed, and immediately tried to push Midoriya in his way, but Midoriya was able to keep Bakugo in place. This allowed Zancrow to hit Bakugo in the side of the face with a Big Boot, resulting in Corvus and Kite rushing the ring and brawling with Midoriya.
"You got that right, Kotoko! We have another brawl going on in the middle of the ring!" Striker exclaimed as Mirio climbed up the top rope, and hit a Double Diving Clothesline onto both Corvus and Kite, sending them out of the ring. Jellal got back to his feet, and hit a knee to the face of Mirio, sending him down as the referee tried to take control of the match back. While the referee was distracted, Jellal low-blowed Bale, and hit him with a Michinoku Driver, causing the crowd to boo louder as he started climbing up to the top rope.
"Jellal taking advantage of the chaos, sending Bale down with a vicious low blow!" Kotoko exclaimed as Jellal dived off of the top rope with the Diving Knee Drop to the chest of Bale before going for the pin just as the referee had put all the non-legal participants back on their respective aprons.
Ref: 1…2..
Jellal looked shocked that Bale had barely kicked out of the move, and stomped on his face several times before tagging Corvus into the match. Corvus picked up Bale and hit him with a Backbreaker before Jellal jumped up to the 2nd turnbuckle, and hit Bale with a Diving Elbow Drop. The crowd continued to boo as Corvus stomped on Bale's chest multiple times before tagging Kite into the match, allowing Kite to stomp on Bale along with Corvus.
"The NWO have taken back in control, with the BTWF Tag Team Champions now trying to keep Bale isolated," Striker explained as Kite picked Bale up, and hit him with several punches to the face before running the ropes, and attempting to hit Bale with a Clothesline, but Bale hit a Running Kite with an Irish Kiss (Bicycle Knee Strike). The crowd cheered as Bale took Kite down with an STO before Bale tagged Midoriya into the match.
"And now the BTWF Hardcore Champion is in the match! And Kite is completely vulnerable in the middle of the ring!" Kotoko exclaimed as Midoriya hit a Diving Elbow Drop from the top rope onto Kite. But rather than go for the pin, Midoriya ran at Corvus and hit him with multiple clubs to the back of the head before throwing him into the ring. Corvus attempted to hit Midoriya with a kick to the gut, but Midoriya blocked the kick, picked him up in a Powerbomb position, and Powerbombed Corvus onto Kite, causing the crowd to cheer loudly.
"Corvus sent crashing into his partner with a devastating Powerbomb!" Bob exclaimed as Midoriya threw Corvus into the ring before pinning Kite.
Ref: 1…2..
Bakugo ran into the ring and started stomping on Midoriya's back before throwing him off of Kite. The crowd started booing as Bakugo grabbed Midoriya, and hit him with a Snap DDT before Zancrow got into the ring. The crowd exploded as Zancrow threw Bakugo to the other side of the ring, allowing Midoriya to get back to his feet. Meanwhile, Hitman was able to climb on the top turnbuckle, and much to the crowd's delight hit a Diving Moonsault onto both Jellal and Mercury, who were beating down Mirio.
"And Hitman taking both Jellal and Mercury down with a Beautiful Moonsault from the top rope!" Striker exclaimed as Corvus ran the ropes, and hit a Suicide Dive onto Hitman, sending both of them down to the ground. In the ring, Midoriya picked Kite back up, and hit him with the Blue Thunder Bomb before grabbing both of Kite's legs, and rolling over to pick Kite up, and hitting him with the Bang-a-Rang. The crowd continued to cheer as Midoriya smirked at Bakugo and tagged Zancrow back into the match, causing the crowd to explode as Zancrow walked into the ring.
"And Midoriya, knowing Bakugo all too well, tags in Zancrow to see how Bakugo reacts!" Kotoko exclaimed as Zancrow grabbed Kite by the throat, and threw him into the corner, telling Bakugo to tag him into the match. Bakugo slightly hesitated before tagging himself into the match, and ran at Zancrow, attempting to brawl with Zancrow. However, Zancrow was able to send Bakugo staggering with a Headbutt to the side of the head before picking him up in a Powerslam position. The crowd continued to cheer as Zancrow sent Bakugo crashing into the top turnbuckle with a Snake Eyes before running the ropes, and hitting a staggering Bakugo on a Jumping Clothesline.
"Bakugo chose to fight, but Zancrow is able to take advantage, sending Bakugo straight to the ground with that Jumping Clothesline!" Striker exclaimed as Kite ran to the other side of the ring, and knocked Bale off of the apron with a Clothesline. Kite tried to do the same thing to Midoriya, but Midoriya was able to throw Kite over the top rope with an Arm Drag. While the referee was distracted by Kite, Zancrow ran the ropes, attempting a Leg Drop, but the crowd booed as Gaara came running out of the timekeeper's area with the International title belt in his hands, hitting Zancrow in the back with the belt.
"It's Gaara! Gaara's back from his brawl with Elric, and just sent the International title crashing into Zancrow's back!" Bob exclaimed as Gaara dropped the championship, and ran into the ring to knock Midoriya off of the apron with a Cyclone Bicycle Kick. Bakugo, noticing that Zancrow was staggering with a hand on his back, Bakugo flipped Zancrow off and hit him with the Stunner. Gaara then hit Zancrow with a Bicycle Kick to the back of the head before Bakugo grabbed Zancrow by the hair, and hit him with the AP Shot (Forward Russian Legsweep) before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2…3
*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, Katsuki Bakugo, the BTWF International Champion Gaara, the BTWF Tag Team Champions Pete Corvus & Kite, Jellal Fernandes, and Mercury Black!" Tony Chimel announced, causing the crowd to boo as Bakugo immediately grabbed Zancrow's legs, and locked him in the Indian Deathlock. The crowd booed as Gaara stomped on Zancrow before he went out of the ring, and started beating Midoriya down with clubs to the face.
"Bakugo, Gaara, and the rest of the NWO are able to get the win here! Bakugo though is continuing to beat down Zancrow ahead of their TLC match!" Striker exclaimed as Bakugo kicked Zancrow's knee while continuing to keep him in the Indian Deathlock. However, the crowd cheered loudly as a beaten Edward Elric ran as fast as he could down the stairs, and while Bakugo was distracted, jumped over the fan barricade, and started climbing up to the top rope.
"Edward Elric is back from his beatdown at the hands of Gaara, but what does he have planned!?" Bob asked as Elric hit an unsuspecting Bakugo with a Phoenix Splash, causing the crowd to cheer as Elric mounted Bakugo and started brawling with him. Corvus picked Kite up, allowing the two to go into the ring, and pull Elric off of Bakugo. Elric brawled with Corvus and Kite as well but was soon taken over by the numbers game, allowing Corvus and Kite to knock Elric down with a Superkick/Package Piledriver combination.
"And the BTWF Tag Team Champions just took out Edward Elric, which has to make Gaara smile inside!" Kotoko exclaimed as Corvus and Kite rolled Bakugo out of the ring. Jellal and Mercury got back to their feet and celebrated with the rest of the NWO while Gaara rolled back into the ring, looking down at Zancrow and Elric. Gaara grabbed Elric by the hair, picked him up, and hit him with the Sands of Time (Burning Hammer) before grabbing his BTWF International Championship and raising it over his head.
"Could this be the scene at the end of Christmas Chaos!? The NWO and Gaara have completely decimated Team Midoriya and Zancrow!" Bob exclaimed as the camera panned to the back while the NWO and Gaara were continuing to celebrate. The camera panned to the garage, where BTWF Women's Champion Luna Collins ran at the Conglomerate with a sledgehammer and hit Tohru in the gut with the sledgehammer. Luna then hits Patty and Liz with the sledgehammer before continuing to hit all three of the female Conglomerate members with the weapon before turning her attention to the scared and angry Lucy Heartfilia.
"Don't mind me, Princess. I'm just making sure that our match at Christmas Chaos stays one-on-one. See you then, Lucy," Luna explained before throwing down the sledgehammer. Lucy glared at Luna's disappearing frame before the show faded to black with Lucy running over to check on her Conglomerate teammates.
