BTWF Last Gasp (Night 1 Part 1)
'Through Hell' by Citizen Solder & Royal Bliss played as the crowd exploded into cheers, chanting 'BTWF!' Pyro went off on the stage and the sides of the TitanTron, which had chain decorations on the side, with more chains hanging from the ceiling. Two Chamber pods were also displayed on either side of the stage, the camera panning around the arena, with the crowd showing off their pro-Midoriya, anti-NWO, pro-Luna, anti-Lucy, etc. signs. The camera finally focused on the announce team, who gave a wave to the fans at home.
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to Silver Springs, Maryland for the final PPV stop on the Road to Starshow! I'm Matt Striker, alongside my partners in crime, Kotoko Iwanaga and Bob Belcher, and guys, do we have a show planned tonight!" Striker exclaimed with Kotoko and Bob nodding in agreement.
"That's right, Matt, we not only have multiple title matches, the BTWF Battle Riot winner in action, and a grudge match between Yang and Lucy, but two of those title matches are going to take place in the Elimination Chamber, one of the most dangerous and brutal structures in all of wrestling!" Kotoko exclaimed, the camera panning up to show the Elimination Chamber coming down around the ring. The camera panned around the Chamber, showing off the long chain walls, the Plexiglas pods, the hard metal floor only covered with a small amount of padding, and the long chain roof.
"Chain, metal, and Plexiglas the far as the eye can see! I thank God that I retired before this match became commonplace!" Bob exclaimed. The crowd cheered louder as the Elimination Chamber was set, the lights dimming as the bell rang, with Tim Barr standing on the side of the commentary table and behind the Elimination Chamber match.
"The following contest is the Elimination Chamber match, and it is for the BTWF International Championship!" Tim Barr announced, the crowd's cheers continuing, as 'I Bring the Darkness' by Tommy Vext played, and Kuro came out with his usual determined look on his face. Kuro swung his arms to stretch his muscles on the center of the stage before walking down the entranceway, responding to the fans' adulation only with a curt nod.
"Introducing the challengers, first, from Tokyo Japan, he is 'the Iceman' Kuro Sakuragawa!" Tim Barr announced, the crowd continuing to cheer as Kuro stopped at the front of the Elimination Chamber, looking up at the chain and the steel. Kuro steadied himself with a deep breath before stomping up the steel steps, and immediately headed to one of his pods, patting on the Plexiglas.
"Kuro is a technical wizard, but this type of environment may put him at a disadvantage," Striker noted as the ringside attendant opened the pod, allowing Kuro to walk into the pod. The crowd continued cheering as Kuro grabbed the top of the pod, grabbed the chains, and started doing pull-ups while he was waiting for the next person to be called. Kuro didn't have to wait long, as 'Straight out the Gate' by Tech N9ne (feat. Serj Tankian) played, the crowd booing as Kilik came walking out of the back with a black and gold cape. When Kilik got to the center of the stage, Kilik shadow-boxed in the center of the stage, much to the crowd's chagrin.
"And introducing his opponents, first, from Death City, Nevada, and representing the Nation of Domination 2.0, Kilik Rung!" Tim Barr announced, the crowd continued booing as Kilik walked down the entranceway, turning to the camera, and telling the fans that he was going to add some gold to the Nation of Domination 2.0. Kilik looked at some of the booing fans and shook his head before walking over to the chamber. Kilik looked over at the chamber, patting the top of the steel steps, and then jogged into the chamber, and slowly walked on the floor, looking around at his environment. Kilik then went into the chamber pod next to the door on the door's right and began shadow-boxing again while in the pod.
"Kilik is a brawler for sure, and we've seen him get aggressive before, so this could be right up his alley," Bob noted as Kilik looked over at Kuro, and told him that he may as well have walked away before Otis' 'Blue Collar Solid' theme song played, the crowd going back to cheering as Rolf walked out of the back. The crowd cheered louder as Rolf tore the shirt off of his body, threw the tattered piece of cloth onto the floor, and walked down the entranceway. Rolf continued down the entranceway, high-fiving fans on their way to the ring, while telling the crowd that he's seen more dangerous things in his old country.
"And their opponent, from the Old Country, Rolf!" Tim Barr announced as Rolf walked up the steel steps, and when he got to the top of the steps, flexed for the cheering fans, and the two other participants in the match. Rolf walked over to Kilik, and punched the side of the pod, causing Kilik to say that he was going to beat Rolf tonight and on Intensity in the 6-Man Tag Team match. Rolf shook his head with a smirk on his face before walking over to Kuro, simply telling him 'Good luck' before patting the side of the pod and heading into his own.
"Rolf is the type of guy who loves hard work and doesn't mind challenges, so you know he's ready for this match," Kotoko noted as Rolf got into his pod, continuing to get familiar with his surroundings before TM-61's 'Stand Tall' theme song played, the crowd cheering loudly as Tanjiro rolled out of the back and landed on one knee at the center of the stage. Tanjiro then clapped his hands together, looking back up at the cheering fans before jumping back to his feet.
"And their opponent, from Tokyo Japan, representing the Japanese Destroyers, Tanjiro Kamado!" Tim Barr announced while the crowd continued cheering as Tanjiro high-fived fans in the front row. Tanjiro looked up at the Chamber, nodding as he continued observing the steel and chains. Tanjiro didn't look upset, but rather, he looked as though he was anticipating getting into the match, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.
"Tanjiro looks the happiest I've seen anyone else come into this match. Is he…actually excited about getting into the Elimination Chamber?" Bob asked in shock as Tanjiro walked up the steel steps, and looked over at the pods, turning his attention to Kilik trash-talking him, telling him that he was not going to make it in the Chamber. Tanjiro responded by walking over to Kilik and causing him to jump by kicking the side of the pod, the crowd cheering and laughing as Kilik jumped to the other side of the small pod.
"I think he might be because Tanjiro literally just kicked the side of Kilik's pod with no hesitation and with the same force he kicks a person," Striker responded with a chuckle as Tanjiro waved at Kuro and Rolf before getting into the last available pod. Tanjiro continued looking on at the rest of the participants in the match while shaking the leg he used to kick Kilik's pod. The crowd then began booing as 'Just Don't Care Anymore' by American Fangs played and Floch came walking out of the back with a dress jacket worn over his shoulders and back, and a grimace gracing his face.
"Introducing next, from inside Wall Rose on the Island of Paradis, Floch Forster!" Tim Barr announced as Floch bent over for a moment, and patted the steel floor of the stage before jumping back up, shooting both of his pointer fingers in the air, causing a brief burst of pyro to go off behind him. Floch then kicked the dress shirt away before walking down the entranceway, ignoring the booing fans as he continued to stomp his way to the ring.
"Floch cannot be happy after not only being defeated by the BTWF International Champion but being attacked by Kuro after he tried to attack Elric," Kotoko noted as Floch pushed away one of the referees, the crowd booing before walking up the steel steps, glaring at all the participants in the pods, specifically saving his ire for Kuro. Floch walked up to Kuro and told him once again that he shouldn't have played hero on Intensity, and Kuro nodded while rolling his eyes, telling Floch to keep talking once he comes out of his pod.
"Floch and Kuro exchanging some harsh words with each other before this match started," Bob explained as the crowd cheered loudly when Austin Aries' 'Ambition and Vision' theme song played. Elric came out of the back, spinning with his arms outstretched, and pointed at the BTWF International Championship around his waist. Elric then walked off of the stage and down the entranceway, high-fiving fans in the front row, smiling as the crowd began chanting his name along with cheering.
"And finally, from Resembool in the Eastern State of Amestris, he is the BTWF International Champion, Edward Elric!" Tim Barr announced. The crowd continued their cheering as Elric ran up to the steel steps, took the BTWF International Championship off of his waist, gave the championship to one of the ringside attendants, and walked up the steel steps, taking in the sights of the Elimination Chamber.
"Edward Elric specifically requested this match to take place so that he can prove to the fans that he's not a paper champion," Striker explained as Elric got into the ring, and got right into Floch's face, with Floch trading verbal barbs with Elric. The ringside attendant closed the door to the Chamber while Elric and Floch continued arguing with each other, and the argument didn't stop once the referee rang the bell. After some more insults and yelling, Elric sent Floch falling on his ass with a straight punch to the face.
"Elric starting this match off with a hard punch! And they have around five minutes before the next participant comes into the match!" Bob exclaimed as Elric picked Floch back up by the hair, and hit Floch in the side of the face multiple times before attempting to Irish whip him into the ropes. However, Floch was able to counter, sending Elric into the ropes, but Elric was able to jump off of the middle rope, attempting a Springboard Crossbody, but Floch was able to duck. While Floch was bragging about how smart he was, Elric was able to roll onto his feet, and when Floch turned around, Elric knocked him down with a Dropkick much to the crowd's delight.
"Elric and Floch had a great match on Intensity just a day ago, and they're already showing what they learned in that match," Kotoko explained as Elric picked Floch back up, and hit him with several Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before attempting to throw him out of the ring. However, Floch was able to counter by sending Elric onto the apron of the ring, and when Floch attempted to run at a standing Elric, the crowd cheered as Elric sent Floch falling onto the padded steel floor with a Back Body Drop. The crowd cheered as Elric attempted to hit a Springboard Middle Rope Moonsault, but Floch was able to counter by putting both his knees up, the crowd booing as Elric crashed into Floch's knees chest first.
"Elric and Floch continuing to be dead even in the early stages of this match, but Floch is up first," Striker noted as Floch picked Elric up by the hair, told Kuro that he was next after this, and attempted to throw Elric into the steel wall of the Chamber, but Elric was able to stop himself with his foot. The crowd cheered as Elric hit Floch in the side of the head with several back elbows, and a back kick to the gut before attempting to throw him into the chain, but Floch was able to block himself. The crowd continued cheering and booing accordingly as Floch turned around and began exchanging punches with Elric.
"Kuro's been glaring a hole through Floch since he started trash-talking. I wouldn't want to be Floch when Kuro gets out of his pod," Bob said as Floch poked Elric in the eye, and attempted to pick Elric up for a Fireman's Carry Slam, but Elric was able to slide out of the hold and pushed Floch into the chain wall. The crowd cheered as Elric grabbed Floch by the hair, and slammed his face into the chain wall several times before pushing him away, jumping onto the wall, and diving off of the wall with a Moonsault onto a standing Floch, pinning him on the floor.

"Elric taking advantage of the Falls Count Anywhere stipulations of the Elimination Chamber match!" Kotoko exclaimed as Elric picked Floch up, and hit him with a couple of punches to the side of the head, sending him staggering into the ropes. The crowd continued cheering as Elric sent Floch falling back into the ring with a Running Spinning Wheel Kick to the head, and then jumped onto the middle rope, hitting Floch with a Middle Rope Leg Drop to the back of the head. Elric then clapped in rhythm with the audience as he picked Floch up, and attempted to hit him with a Revolution Knee (Ripcord Knee Strike), but Floch was able to duck, grab Elric's arm, and hit Elric with an Arm-Trap Neckbreaker.
"What a counter by Floch! And this could be just what he needed to get back into this match!" Bob exclaimed as Floch started stomping on Elric repeatedly, pressing his foot into Elric's throat while using the ropes to help him apply more force. However, the crowd began cheering and counting down as a timer showed up on the TitanTron while Floch picked Elric up, and hit him with a Snap Suplex. Floch ran the ropes and hit Elric with a Running Leg Drop across the throat before the timer went off, the crowd cheering as the lights over the pods flickered on and off. After a moment, the light over Kuro's pod stayed lit, the crowd cheering as his pod opened while Floch responded with his mouth agape.
"Oh boy…Floch is probably regretting all that crap he was talking to Kuro!" Kotoko exclaimed as Kuro stomped out of the pod, and Kuro quickly ran out, attempting to hit him with a punch, but Kuro kicked Floch's hand away. The crowd continued cheering as Kuro grabbed Floch by the hair, and rammed his face into his Plexiglas pod multiple times before hitting him with a Back Suplex onto the padded steel floor. The crowd continued cheering as Kuro stomped on Floch's gut multiple times before grabbing the chain of the steel wall, jumping up, and hitting a Vader Bomb onto Floch's chest.
"Kuro taking advantage of his environment, hitting moves he normally wouldn't. We are on the Road to Starshow, and it's the best time to try out new moves," Bob explained as Kuro went back into the ring, grabbed Elric by the arm, and pushed him into the corner. The crowd continued cheering as Kuro hit a couple of chops to Elric's chest, and then ran the ropes, attempting to hit a Running Corner Dropkick, but Elric was able to roll out of the way, sending Kuro crashing into the corner upside down into the Tree of Woe. Elric looked at the precarious position that Kuro was in, and ran the ropes, attempting to hit Kuro with a Running Corner Dropkick, but Kuro was able to pull himself up and onto the top turnbuckle. However, Elric was able to stop himself from crashing into the corner post, and Kuro responded by hitting a Twisting Diving Crossbody onto a standing Elric before pinning him.
Ref: 1…2.
"Kuro almost eliminated the BTWF International Champion with that beautiful Twisting Crossbody!" Striker exclaimed as Kuro stomped on Elric's gut several times before noticing that Floch was staggering back to his feet. Kuro ran the ropes and attempted to hit a Suicide Dive outside of the ring, but Floch was able to dodge and push a flying Kuro head-first into the steel chain wall. The crowd booed as Floch immediately ran back into the ring, and hit a staggering Elric with a Big Boot before going for another pinfall.
Ref: 1…2.
Floch looked annoyed as he picked Elric up, and hit him with a Scoop Slam. The crowd continued booing as Floch dug his heel into the side of Elric's head, the crowd booing as Floch continued yelling at the booing crowd that he was going to become the new BTWF International Champion.
"Floch may be talking big now, but he has to make sure that he doesn't lose focus on the two wrestlers in the ring right now," Kotoko explained as Floch picked Elric up, and threw him into the corner before running the ropes and hitting Elric with a Running Corner Clothesline. Floch then noticed that Kuro was staggering back to his feet, with the top of his head bleeding, and ran the ropes to hit a Suicide Forearm to Kuro's chest, sending his back crashing into the steel chain wall. The crowd continued to boo as Floch grabbed both of Kuro's legs, pushed him down to the floor, and threw him into the steel wall with a Catapult, sending his face and chest crashing into the steel wall.
"Floch continuing to dominate Kuro, sending him crashing into the steel with that Catapult!" Striker exclaimed as Floch once again told the crowd that this is what happens to people who play the hero. However, the crowd cheered as Elric jumped up onto the top rope, and hit Floch with a Springboard Hurricanrana, just as the timer went off again, with the fans counting down along with the timer as Elric mounted Floch, and hit him with several punches to the side of the face before the lights over the Chamber pods once again began to light up. After a moment, the lights over Rolf's pod stayed on, the crowd continuing to cheer as Rolf's pod opened, and he ran out of the pod and into the ring.
"And here comes the powerhouse of this match, Rolf!" Bob exclaimed as Elric attempted to catch Rolf in the corner, but the crowd cheered as he was able to counter with a Swinging Sidewalk Slam. Rolf then ran out of the ring, grabbed Floch, and hit him with several forearms to the side of the head before picking him up in a Military Press, walking him over to the side of the ring, and throwing him back into the ring. The crowd continued cheering as Rolf springboarded back into the ring with a Springboard Shoulder Tackle onto Floch before pinning him.

However, the crowd cheered as Elric was able to slide out of the Powerslam and push Rolf into the corner. Elric then started hitting Rolf with multiple punches and forearms to the side of the head before running the ropes and hitting him with a Running Corner Big Boot.
"Elric fighting back against Rolf, almost kicking the features off of his face with that boot!" Kotoko exclaimed as Elric started stomping on Rolf's chest, but the crowd cheered as Kuro got into the ring, and hit Elric with a German Suplex. The crowd continued cheering as Kuro hit Rolf with multiple kicks to the chest before picking him up and putting him on the top turnbuckle. Kuro hit Rolf with multiple open-palm strikes to the side of the head. When Kuro attempted to climb up to the top rope, Rolf pushed Kuro off of the top rope and into the ring. Rolf then attempted to balance himself on the top rope, but Kuro was able to jump up to the top turnbuckle. However, when Kuro attempted to hit Rolf with a Top Rope Arm Drag, Rolf pushed him off of the top rope.
"Rolf and Kuro have counters for their counters here, and Kuro's in position for something big!" Bob exclaimed as Rolf balanced on the top turnbuckle, and hit Kuro with a Diving Splash to the chest. However, before Rolf could go for the pin, Floch got back up and attempted to roll Rolf up with an Oklahoma Roll.
Ref: 1…2.
Floch prevented Rolf from getting back to his feet, stomping on his back before running the ropes, and hitting him with a Basement Big Boot to the side of the head. Floch then moved his attention to Kuro, stomping on him multiple times before picking him up, and hitting him with a Gourdbuster that sent him crashing into Rolf's chest. Floch then walked up to Elric and hit him with several punches to the side of the head before pushing him out of the ring. The crowd continued booing as Floch threw Elric into the Plexiglas pod, pushing Elric's face into the pod. Floch then threw Elric into another pod, smirking at Tanjiro, who watched the onslaught with a smile on his face while Floch stomped on Elric's chest multiple times.
"Floch taking complete control of this match, putting all of his opponents down!" Bob exclaimed as Floch went back into the ring, and hit Rolf with a Clothesline when he saw that Rolf had stood back up. Floch then ran the ropes and hit a Jumping Elbow Drop across the chest, the crowd cheering as the timer came back onto the TitanTron, which Floch responded to by picking Rolf up and attempting to hit him with the Impaler DDT, but Rolf responded with several punches to the gut, and Floch responded with a Knee Strike to the side of the head as the timer went off, the lights over Tanjiro and Kuro's pods going on and off before Tanjiro's pod stayed lit. The crowd continued cheering as Tanjiro walked out of his pod, noticed Elric attempting to get back to his feet, and hit him with a Spinning Kick to the side of his head.
"Tanjiro starting this match off big, knocking the champion down with a hard kick to the head!" Striker exclaimed as Tanjiro ran the ropes, and hit a Sliding Shining Wizard onto Kuro, and while Floch and Rolf were scrapping in the middle of the ring, Tanjiro ran the ropes and knocked them both down with a Double Handspring Back Elbow. The crowd continued cheering as Tanjiro basked in the applause of the fans and hit Rolf with a Standing Moonsault before jumping over to Kuro and hitting him with another Standing Moonsault. Tanjiro kicked Kuro up and hit him with several kicks to the sides of the midsection and the sides of the legs before attempting to Irish whip him into the corner.
"Tanjiro lighting up an already bloodied Kuro-Senpai with some hard kicks all over his gorgeous body!" Kotoko exclaimed as Tanjiro attempted to sweep his leg out, but Kuro was able to jump over Tanjiro's leg and hit him with several forearms to the side of the head. The crowd continued cheering as Kuro grabbed both of Tanjiro's arms and attempted to hit him with a Butterfly Suplex, but Tanjiro was able to slide out of it, push Kuro down to the mat, and put him in the Cattle Mutilation. Kuro shook his head, saying that he wasn't going to give it up, but Tanjiro couldn't keep the hold in long as Elric springboarded back into the ring, and hit both Tanjiro and Kuro with a Springboard Splash.
"Elric coming back into this match in grand style! Elric was able to break this painful submission hold Tanjiro had on Kuro by hitting them both with a Springboard Splash!" Striker exclaimed as Elric picked Tanjiro up, and hit him with several Knife-Edge Chops, and a kick to the gut. Elric then ran the ropes, attempting to hit Tanjiro with a Running Knee Lift, but Tanjiro was able to dodge the Knee Lift and kicked him right in the gut. Before Tanjiro could hit Elric with something else, Floch grabbed Tanjiro in a Waistlock, and attempted to hit him with a German Suplex, but Tanjiro was able to land on his feet, and hit Floch in the back with a Dropkick, sending him crashing into Kuro.
"Tanjiro continuing to dominate in this Chamber match, sending Floch and Kuro crashing right into each other!" Bob exclaimed as Tanjiro ran the ropes, but Rolf was able to knock Tanjiro down with a Running Big Boot to the side of the head. The crowd continued cheering as he and Elric exchanged punches to the side of the head before Rolf picked Elric up for a Scoop Slam, which Elric was able to counter into a Neckbreaker. The crowd continued cheering as Elric attempted to climb up to the top turnbuckle to hit a Phoenix Splash, but Tanjiro was able to counter by hitting Elric in the side of the head with a Cartwheel into a Jumping Side Kick. Tanjiro then climbed up to the top rope, clubbing Elric in the back multiple times before Floch got up, and started punching Tanjiro in the gut before climbing up to the middle turnbuckle.
"Bodies stacking up in the corner, but who's going to go down first!?" Kotoko asked as Kuro joined Floch on the middle turnbuckle, hitting him with several Knife-Edge Chops as the timer appeared for the last time on the TitanTron. The crowd began counting down as Rolf got back to his feet, and after Kuro and Floch grabbed Tanjiro and Elric, Rolf grabbed both Kuro and Floch. The lights focused on Kilik's pod as Rolf pulled the rest of the competitors down out of the corner with a Tower of Doom, causing the crowd to explode into cheers as Elric, Tanjiro, Floch, and Kuro crashed onto the mat while Rolf was on all fours, recovering from using a major portion of his strength to pull all four men down.
"The answer to that, Kotoko, is pretty much everyone except Rolf! And Kilik is now in the match! What is he going to do now that almost everyone is down!?" Bob asked as Kilik walked out of his pod, into the ring, and nailed Rolf with a Snap DDT, putting him down along with everyone else. Kilik then looked at the top of the pod that he just got out of, and much to the crowd's shock, Kilik jumped up onto the top turnbuckle and started climbing to the top of the pod, as everyone else on the ground began to stagger back to their feet. Kilik then climbed the pod so he could get to the top, turned so that his back was facing the wrestlers in the ring, and then grabbed the steel chain ceiling to maintain his balance.
"Well, it looks like he's got something huge planned! We know that Kilik likes to be the center of attention, and he certainly has all eyes on him!" Striker exclaimed as the wrestlers in the ring started standing up, and the crowd exploded in shock as Kilik jumped off of the top of the Chamber pod, and hit all five standing wrestlers in the ring with a Diving Moonsault. The crowd chanted 'Holy Shit!' as Kilik landed on all five men, knocking them all back down.
"Oh, my God! Kilik, from the heavens, knocking down all his opponents with that beautiful Moonsault!" Striker exclaimed in shock as Kilik immediately jumped onto Tanjiro to pin him.

"Kuro-Senpai kicks out, and Kilik looks furious that he wasn't able to get a single elimination off of that gorgeous Moonsault. Not as gorgeous as Kuro-Senpai, but still really good," Kotoko noted as Kilik noticed that Rolf was staggering, and he responded with a Running Single Leg Basement Dropkick to the side of the head. The crowd continued booing as Kilik threw Tanjiro, Elric, Floch, and Kuro out of the ring before running into the corner to hit a Running Corner Forearm to Rolf's face. The crowd continued booing as Kilik hit Rolf with multiple punches to the sides of his face and body before throwing him out of the corner with a Snap Vertical Suplex. Kilik then pulled Rolf to his knees by his hair and started hitting him in the back of the head with several forearms before running the ropes and attempting to hit him with a Running Discus Forearm. However, Rolf was able to dodge and hit Kilik in the side of the head with several punches of his own.
"Rolf fighting back, but I wouldn't recommend trading punches with Kilik, who is a Golden Gloves Boxer!" Striker exclaimed as Kilik pushed one of Rolf's punches away, and hit him with a shot to the throat, allowing Kilik to pick Rolf up, and hit him with the Wasteland. The crowd continued to boo as Kilik playfully kicked Rolf in the side of the head a couple of times before running the ropes, and hitting Rolf in the chest/throat area with a Jumping Elbow Drop. Kilik noticed that Kuro attempted to come back into the ring, and sent him back out onto the floor with a Standing Side Kick to the side of the head. However, when Kilik attempted to pick Rolf back up, Rolf rolled him up in a Small Package.
Ref: 1…2..
"Rolf almost got the shock elimination there, but that only made Kilik angrier!" Bob exclaimed as Kilik kicked out of the pin, and started stomping on Rolf's chest and face. Kilik then backed away, told the booing crowd that it was over, and ran into the corner, attempting a Middle Rope Moonsault. However, the crowd cheered as Rolf was once again able to counter, putting his feet up, causing Kilik's chin to crash right into Rolf's feet. Rolf got back to his feet, and when Kilik attempted to hit Rolf with a right jab, Rolf blocked it and cold-cocked Kilik's chin.
"Rolf showing that he's no slouch when it comes to strikes, nearly knocking Kilik's chin out of place with that hard punch!" Kotoko exclaimed as Rolf ran the ropes, and hit Kilik with two Clotheslines. Rolf noticed that the guys on the outside were getting back up, and the crowd continued cheering as Rolf ran all around the ring, knocking Kuro, Elric, Floch, and Tanjiro with Running Clotheslines, before knocking a staggering Kilik down with a Running Big Boot to the chest with enough force to send him crashing back into the corner. The crowd continued cheering as Rolf ran into the corner, hitting Kilik with a Stinger Splash in the corner before turning him around, and taking him down with a Back Suplex.
"Rolf throwing Kilik around not only strikes but a devastating Back Suplex as well!" Bob exclaimed as Rolf ran the ropes, and hit a Running Headbutt to the chest before deadlifting him up over his head. Rolf attempted to hit Kilik with the TKO, but Floch ran into the ring, and kicked Rolf in the gut, the crowd booing as Floch attempted to hit Rolf with the Impaler DDT, but the crowd cheered as Rolf picked Floch up, and hit him with the TKO. Rolf then noticed Kuro attempting to Springboard back into the ring, and picked him up in mid-air, attempting to hit him with a TKO of his own, but Kilik got back to his feet, and hit Rolf with a Running Discus Forearm strike, sending Rolf to his knees.
"Kilik sending Rolf right to his knees with that Discus Forearm! And Kuro also falls down from the impact!" Striker exclaimed as Kilik flipped the crowd off before running the ropes and hitting another Running Discus Forearm to the side of Rolf's head before going for the pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Rolf has been eliminated!" Tim Barr announced as Kilik grabbed Rolf by the hair, and told him that this exact same thing was going to happen to him next week on Intensity in the 6-man tag team street fight. Kilik then threw Rolf out of the ring and told the ringside attendants to take out the trash. Kilik then turned around, attempting to go after Kuro, but Elric springboarded back into the ring and hit him with a Springboard Knee Strike to the side of the head. Elric noticed that Kilik was on his knees, so jumped up to the middle rope, and hit Kilik with a Diving Bulldog before going for the pin, hooking both of his legs back.

"Kilik eliminating Rolf and surviving that combination of moves by Elric!" Bob exclaimed as Elric picked Kilik up, put him in the Ripcord Position, and hit him with the Revolution Knee (Ripcord Knee Strike).

Tanjiro noticed that Elric was on his knees, and attempted to hit him with the Buzzsaw Kick, but Elric was able to dodge and attempted to put Tanjiro in position for the Revolution Knee (Ripcord Knee Strike).

"Ladies and gentlemen, Kilik Rung of the Nation of Domination 2.0 has been eliminated!" Tim Barr exclaimed as Elric got back to his feet, and attempted to climb up to the top rope for another Phoenix Splash on Tanjiro, but the crowd cheered as Kuro jumped up from the outside and onto the top rope, taking Elric down with a Top Rope Spanish Fly. The crowd continued cheering as Kuro grabbed Elric's legs, and locked him in the Texas Cloverleaf, Kuro bending back as far as he could, with Elric gritting his teeth, and attempting to fight out of the Texas Cloverleaf. The crowd booed as Floch got back into the ring, and punched Kuro in the face, the crowd cheering as Kuro shook his head while continuing to pull back on the Texas Cloverleaf.
"Floch is trying to break the Cloverleaf, and potentially a submission, but Kuro isn't letting go!" Striker exclaimed as Floch hit Kuro with several more punches, but the crowd cheered as Kuro spat right in Floch's face. Floch growled at Kuro, hitting him in the side of the face with a Standing Big Boot, but Kuro still held onto the hold, so Floch grabbed Kuro in a Front Facelock and clubbed him in the back and the back of the neck multiple times. The crowd booed as Floch was able to pull Kuro away from Elric, but when he tried to hit Kuro with the Impaler DDT, Kuro was able to pull Floch up for a Northern Lights Suplex, bridging into a pin.

"It may have seemed strange for Floch to break up a potential victory and prevent a potential elimination of the champion, but you have to remember that Floch has promised that Kuro-Senpai was going to regret 'playing the hero' on the Intensity before Last Gasp," Kotoko explained as Floch kicked out, and attempted to hit Kuro with a blow to the head, but Kuro was able to duck, and hit Floch in the side of the head with a Kick. The crowd continued cheering as Kuro grabbed Floch's legs and deadlifted him up for the Alabama Slam. However, rather than bridge into a pin, Kuro once again picked Floch up by both legs and hit him with a Sit-Down Powerbomb. Before Kuro could lock Floch in the Texas Cloverleaf, Tanjiro grabbed Kuro by the hair and hit him with multiple Open-Palm Strikes to both sides of the face before hitting Kuro with a Spinning Back Kick to the gut.
"Tanjiro now taking Kuro down with a devastating kick to the gut!" Bob exclaimed as Tanjiro ran the ropes, attempting another Handspring Back Elbow, but Kuro was able to catch him in mid-air, hitting him with a German Suplex, bridging into a pinfall.
Ref: 1…2…
Tanjiro barely kicked out, and Kuro responded by picking him up by the wrist, attempting to pick him up for a Back Suplex, but Tanjiro elbowed Kuro on the side of the head before jumping up and taking Kuro down with a Headscissor Takedown. Tanjiro stomped on Kuro's face a couple of times before running the ropes and running up to the top rope to hit Kuro with a Top Rope Springboard Moonsault. Tanjiro then put Kuro on his knees, did the cut-throat taunt with his hands, and then attempted to hit him with a Buzzsaw Kick, but Kuro was able to dodge it and hit Tanjiro with multiple punches to the gut.
"Kuro still fighting back, nailing Tanjiro in the gut several times, knocking the wind out of him with those hard punches!" Striker exclaimed as Kuro threw Tanjiro out of the ring and onto the padded steel floor. The crowd continued cheering as Kuro ran after Tanjiro, hit him with a couple of Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before picking him up, attempting to hit him with an Alabama Slam onto the steel chain wall, but Tanjiro was able to counter mid-Alabama Slam and sent Kuro's head crashing into the chains with a Hurricanrana. The crowd continued cheering as Tanjiro grabbed a bloodied Kuro by the face, and threw him into the Plexiglas pod, ramming his face into the side of the pod multiple times before turning him around, and hitting him with several kicks to the chest before backing away from a dazed Kuro.
"Tanjiro using the Chamber as a weapon, realizing that his feet aren't the only weapons that he has at his disposal!" Bob exclaimed as Tanjiro ran at Kuro, hitting him with a Running Back Elbow to the side of the head, sending his head bouncing off of the Plexiglas before Tanjiro took Kuro back with a Snapmare, rolled in front of him, and kicked Kuro in the side of the head before going for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…2…
Tanjiro looked shocked that Kuro had kicked out, picked him up, and attempted to hit him with the Japanese Destroyer (Canadian Destroyer), but Kuro was able to keep himself up and hit Tanjiro with an Alabama Slam onto the padded steel floor.
"Kuro-Senpai, once again, able to hit the Alabama Slam onto Tanjiro! But he's losing a LOT of blood!" Kotoko exclaimed as Kuro mounted Tanjiro, and started hitting him with multiple Open-Palm Strikes, but the crowd booed as Floch ran over, grabbed Kuro by the hair, and the back of his tights, and threw him into the steel chain wall. The crowd booed as Floch grabbed Kuro, and hit him with a Gutwrench Suplex that saw him land on Tanjiro. Floch then grabbed Kuro and hit him with an Impaler DDT that saw Kuro's head bounce off the padded steel floor, the crowd continuing to boo as Floch blew a kiss to Kotoko before pinning him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, 'the Iceman' Kuro Sakuragawa has been eliminated!" Tim Barr announced as Floch immediately got off of Kuro, mounted Tanjiro, and hit him with several punches to the side of Tanjiro's head.
"This brute Floch got lucky! If Kuro-Senpai wasn't so bust dealing with Tanjiro, he wouldn't have allowed Floch to get one over on him!" Kotoko complained as Floch picked Tanjiro up, put him in a Bearhug position, and rammed his back into the steel chain fence multiple times before throwing him back into the ring with an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex. The crowd continued booing as Floch climbed up to the top rope, turning his back to Tanjiro in an attempt to hit a Moonsault. However, the crowd exploded as Elric got back to his feet, jumped onto the top turnbuckle behind Floch, and threw him off of the top rope with a Reverse Frankensteiner.
"Elric coming back into this contest in grand style, sending Floch flying off the top rope with a Reverse Hurricanrana!" Striker exclaimed as Elric ran the ropes, and springboarded off the middle rope to hit Floch with a Twisting Leg Drop across the throat before going for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…2…
Floch kicked out, and Elric responded by hitting a Standing Moonsault Double Knee Drop onto Floch's chest. Elric then ran the ropes and hit a seated Floch with a Shining Wizard to the side of the head before jumping back up to hit a Knee Drop to the top of Floch's face.
"Floch, much like his match on Intensity, is showing a lot of resiliency against the BTWF International Champion," Kotoko noted as Elric picked Floch up, attempting to hit him with a Back Suplex, but Floch was able to counter by hitting Elric with several punches to the side of the head, allowing him to get on his feet, and hitting Elric in the side of the head with multiple punches to the top of the head. The crowd continued booing as Floch pushed Elric into the ropes, and when he rebounded, Floch turned Elric inside out with a hard Lariat. The crowd continued booing as Floch picked Elric up, and hit him with a Sit-Out Powerbomb before pushing him onto his knees and hitting him with a Hard Knee Strike to the face.
"Floch with a hard knee of his own, and I'd be surprised if Elric was still conscious after that!" Striker exclaimed as Floch told the crowd that he was going to become the next International Champion, but the crowd cheered as Tanjiro hit a Springboard Kick to the side of Floch's face, staggering him, and allowing Tanjiro to run the ropes, and hit a Spinning Front Kick to Floch's chest before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2…
Tanjiro picked Floch up and hit him with a couple of chops to the side of the head before jumping up to the middle rope. The crowd continued cheering as when Floch staggered back to his feet, Tanjiro jumped off of the middle rope, attempting to hit him with the Japanese Destroyer (Canadian Destroyer), but Floch was able to roll out of it, and hit a Jumping Leg Drop across Tanjiro's throat before going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2…
"That was a nice counter by Floch, but still not enough to secure him the elimination!" Bob exclaimed as Floch picked Tanjiro up by the hair, and attempted to hit him with a Ripcord Lariat, but Tanjiro was able to duck the Lariat and hit Floch with a Pele Kick to the face. Tanjiro then ran the ropes, but when he rebounded, the crowd booed as Floch grabbed Elric from the ground, and threw him into Tanjiro, causing both of their heads to collide. The crowd booed louder as Floch threw Elric out of the ring, picked a dazed Tanjiro up, and hit him with the Implant DDT before going for the pinfall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Tanjiro Kamado of the Japanese Destroyers has been eliminated!" Tim Barr announced as Floch basked in the negative reaction he was getting after his second elimination before walking onto the padded steel floor, picking Elric up by the hair, and putting him in position for the Implant DDT, but the crowd cheered as Elric pushed Floch back, and rammed him into the Plexiglas pod back first. The crowd continued cheering as Elric picked Floch up, and rammed him back first into the side of the Plexiglas pod multiple times before throwing him overhead with an Exploder Suplex.
"Elric still has some fight in him, throwing Floch overhead! And look at the Plexiglas pod! It's barely even cracked from the force Elric sent Floch into the Plexiglas! That's how strong the Plexiglas pod is!" Striker exclaimed as Elric ran over to Floch, and hit a Running Shooting Star Press to the chest before going for a pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.
Ref: 1…2…
Elric looked shocked at Floch kicking out, so he responded by grabbing Floch and attempting to hit him with a Powerbomb. However, Floch was able to power out and attempt to send Elric overhead with a Back Body Drop, but Elric was able to land on his feet and attempted to push Floch into another Plexiglas pod, but Floch was able to stop himself. Floch then attempted to hit Elric with the Big Boot, but Elric was able to dodge and attempted to hit Floch with an Enziguri, but Floch was able to dodge and attempted to hit him with a German Suplex, but Elric was able to land on his feet once again.
"Floch and Elric somehow having the strength to counter each other's moves is just a testament to how much they trained for this match!" Kotoko exclaimed as Floch and Elric looked at each other, shocked at all the counters. Elric and Floch then exchanged punches with each other, the crowd cheering and booing accordingly, the crowd cheering louder as Elric was able to dominate Floch with multiple punches to both sides of Floch's head, and throwing him face first into the chain wall several times. Elric then grabbed Floch in a Side Headlock and climbed up the chain wall to hit a Springboard Bulldog, sending his face onto the padded steel floor before going for the pin, hooking both of his legs back.
Ref: 1…2…
"Floch barely kicking out, and we can't even say that since it was more that he barely pushed his shoulder off of the floor!" Bob exclaimed as Elric picked Floch up, and attempted to hit him with a Back Suplex, but Floch hit several Open Palm Strikes to the nose, allowing Floch to put himself back down on his feet, grabbed Elric's head, and slammed the back of Elric's head into the side of the Plexiglas pod. The crowd booed as Floch breathed heavily, telling the crowd that it was his time and that Elric was done, but rather than go for the Implant DDT, Floch threw Elric to the ground, grabbed his arms, and locked him in the Scum of the Earth Armbar (Rolling Omoplata).
"Floch is putting Elric in the Scum of the Earth Armbar! He wants to make Elric tap out so that he can hear the sounds of surrender coming from someone he sees as a fraud!" Striker exclaimed as Elric, while gritting his teeth in pain, shook his head when the referee asked him whether or not he wanted to quit. However, Elric tried to pull himself away from Floch's Armbar, but Floch maintained a grip, pulling Elric's right arm back even further, causing him to finally scream in pain. Elric continued saying that he wouldn't give up, the crowd cheering as Elric started headbutting Floch in the face multiple times, Floch finally being forced to let go as Elric wouldn't let up with the headbutts.
"Elric finally escaping the Scum of the Earth Armbar! And look at Floch's nose! It's like a fountain of blood!" Kotoko exclaimed as Floch staggered back to his feet, holding his nose in pain. Elric got back to his feet, holding his arm in pain before hitting Floch in the side of the head with a Superkick, but the crowd booed as Floch fell to his knees, and flipped Elric off. Elric responded by knocking Floch on his back with another Superkick, looked up at the steel chain wall, and smirked at the cheering crowd. Elric began climbing up the steel chain wall, occasionally having to stop to get the blood flowing back into his arm, before stopping halfway up the wall.
"What is Elric doing up on the wall!? Does he plan on diving from up there!?" Bob asked in shock as Elric continued looking on at the cheering crowd, dived off of the wall, and hit a downed Floch with a Phoenix Splash from the chest before going for the pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Floch Forster has been eliminated, therefore, here is your winner, and still the BTWF International Champion, Edward Elric!" Tim Barr announced, the crowd exploding into cheers as Elric pulled himself back up to his feet, holding his right arm in pain. One of the ringside attendants grabbed the BTWF International Championship from the timekeeper's area and headed to the ring to give it to the referee. Once the referee got the championship, he headed back into the Chamber to give it to Elric.
"Elric stepped into this Chamber to prove that he was worthy of the BTWF International Championship, and I think he did just that tonight!" Striker exclaimed as Elric grabbed the BTWF International Championship with his left arm, holding the BTWF International Championship above his head. The crowd continued cheering as Elric walked over to the corner, jumped up to the top turnbuckle, and once again raised the BTWF International Championship over his head.
"Elric did a fantastic job, but let's not take credit away from the other participants of this match! I thought that Elric was going to lose that championship on several occasions," Kotoko admitted as Elric looked up at the top of the Chamber pod, grabbed the top of the pod by his right arm, and pulled himself up to the top of the pod. The crowd continued cheering as Elric continued his celebration with the BTWF International Championship and the fans. Elric then looked down at the camera, telling the wrestlers in the back that if anyone wanted a shot at his championship, they were more than welcome to come and try their luck.
"Now that his confidence in himself as champion is set, the question is what's next for the BTWF International Champion!?" Bob exclaimed as Elric continued to bask in the audience's cheers while Floch rolled out of the ring, looking frustrated and annoyed at the fact he lost the BTWF International Championship. The camera then panned to Scott Stanford being surrounded by television screens, with Scott turning his chair and facing the audience at home with a smile on his face.
"Welcome to the Stanford Station, ladies, and gentlemen, here to get your heart rates back to normal after that exciting Elimination Chamber match. We did have quite a few matches on the pre-show of Last Gasp, and we're going to visit them…right now!" Scott introduced, turning his chair to face the wall of television monitors. The camera then panned to the television monitors, with one of them showing the Yu-Gi-Bromans (Joey Wheeler, Tristan Taylor, and 'DJ' Yugi Moto) vs. Fry, Bender, & Yuma match graphic.
"Our first match was a 6-man tag team match between the Yu-Gi-Bromans, and the team of Yuma, Bender, and Fry. The match went on for around 10 minutes, and Joey Wheeler was able to get the victory after hitting the Bro-Down (Hart Attack) on Yuma," Scott explained, the television monitor camera was focusing on showing the finish of the match, including Yugi taking both Bender and Fry out with a Diving Crossbody on the outside. The camera then panned to another television monitor, where Ashley Spinelli and Hana Morenos were seen on the match graphic.
"Despite saying that they had something planned for Jiro and Juniper during their concert, Spinelli and Hana were still looking for a fight, so they took on some local competitors from the Silver Spring area and beat them in under two minutes," Scott explained, with the camera showing the finish, which showed Hana hitting a Snapmare-Penalty Kick combination, allowing Spinelli to hit a Diving Knee Drop to the chest before pinning the local competitor. The camera then panned to another television screen, where the graphic for Jonah Von Bruken vs. Vincent LeSalle with the rest of the Nation of Domination 2.0 by his side.
"Before their 6-man tag team street fight on Intensity, the Nation of Domination 2.0's Vincent LeSalle took on former BTWF International Champion Jonah Von Bruken. Despite Boze and Shane causing a fight outside, Vincent was able to use this by pinning Jonah with a Frog Splash after about 8 minutes of action," Scott explained, showing that while Jonah was trying to get the referee to return his attention to the match, Vincent hit a low blow onto Jonah, and then took him back down with a Reverse DDT. While Cleveland Jr. and Huey Freeman were brawling with Boze and Shane, Vincent jumped onto the top turnbuckle, and hit Jonah in the chest with a Frog Splash, pinning him with both his legs hooked back. The camera then panned to one last television screen that showed a match card for Ganta Igarashi vs. Akira Tsubaki with Miyuki Shirogane accompanying him.
"And lastly, one-half of the Japanese Destroyers Ganta Igarashi battled one-half of the Vaudevillians Akira Tsubaki. And after almost 9 minutes of wrestling, Ganta was able to counter Akira's attempt at the Cobra Clutch with a Japanese Destroyer (Canadian Destroyer)," Scott explained, the television monitor showing Ganta able to escape the Cobra Clutch, hitting Akira with the Japanese Destroyer (Canadian Destroyer) before knocking Miyuki off the apron with a Superkick to the side of the face before pinning Akira. The camera then panned back to Scott, still sitting in his chair with a smile on his face.
"And that's going to do it for the Stanford Station, thank you for joining me in revisiting the pre-show. Now back to the PPV!" Scott exclaimed, waving to the audience before the camera panned to the ring, the crowd booing as 'the Queen of Song Style' Jiro Kyoka and Juniper Lee were sitting on stools in the center of the ring. Jiro had a purple acoustic guitar with her name written in glitter pen on the side. Juniper, meanwhile, had a snare drum in front of her, twirling one of the drumsticks in between her fingers. The crowd continued booing and chanting 'No' as Jiro told the sound people to get ready.
"Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Jiro Kyoka. You can call me 'the Queen of Song Style'. And the reason they call me that is because at one time, I have ideas for 100 songs going through my head," Jiro introduced before her eyes widened, and she put a hand over her mouth, Juniper looking at her with a raised eyebrow. "Oh, sorry about that, folks. I shouldn't mention the number '100' in Maryland. It's just a painful reminder that the last time the Orioles won 100 games in one season was over thirty years ago," Jiro explained condescendingly, the crowd booing louder, and chanting 'Shut the Fuck Up!' at her. Jiro couldn't help but chuckle before patting Juniper on the back and continuing.
"I don't know why you're booing me like it's my fault you guys have a baseball team allergic to success. You're all only two years removed from one of your worst seasons, where you LOST over 100 games," Jiro continued, with Juniper feigning a strike, the crowd booing even louder as Juniper pretended to choke as the crowd chanted 'Fuck You, June!' at her.
"And I not only mean on the field but off the field as well, I mean, your team is paying the Nationals 100 million dollars of your tax money to pay back the Nationals in rights fees," Jiro continued talking, not even trying to hold back her chuckling as the crowd continued booing and chanting for both her and Juniper to 'Shut the Fuck Up!' with Juniper raising an eyebrow, telling the audience that she hadn't even said anything.
"Hey Juniper, do you have anything to say before I start the concert?" Jiro asked as Juniper took the microphone, looked on at the booing crowd, and smirked at them before responding.
"All I have to say is that…there's no better team than the Washington Nationals!" Juniper exclaimed, ripping off her jacket, revealing a Washington Nationals jersey. The crowd booed even louder than they have been, with Jiro applauding as Juniper continued showing off her jersey.
"I couldn't agree more. And now, without further ado, I would like to ask everyone in the audience to silence your cell phones, hold your applause, and shut your mouths! Juniper hit it," Jiro explained as Juniper started playing on her snare drum, the crowd booing as Juniper found a steady beat, allowing Jiro to start playing her guitar. As the crowd continued chanting 'Shut the Fuck Up!', Jiro began singing as Juniper continued keeping the rhythm on the drum.
"Ryan Mountcastle feels like he's human again, ready to get back in the MLB playpen. If it only takes vertigo to take him out, then Ryan must be used to making fans pout. All you Maryland losers don't need-" Jiro was singing, the crowd cheering as Ashley Spinelli and Hana Morenos came stomping down to the ring. Juniper stopped playing the drums and looked ready for a fight, but Jiro put a hand out in front of her, telling her to sit down and don't worry about it. Spinelli and Hana rolled into the ring, grabbed a couple of microphones, and stared at Jiro and Juniper.
"I think we speak for everyone here when we say, can the two of you shut the hell up!?" Spinelli asked, the crowd cheering and chanting 'Shut the Fuck Up!' at Jiro and Juniper again, with Juniper arguing with Spinelli and Hana as Hana looked over at Jiro, who looked bored at what the opposing team had to say.
"You know, you two bragged about having this concert, but this is a PPV. On PPVs, we wrestle, and the fact that you two are out here wasting our time with this stupid concert is absolutely ridiculous!" Hana exclaimed, the crowd cheering as Juniper told them to shut up and Jiro continued rolling her eyes and playing her guitar. Spinelli became annoyed at Jiro for not paying attention to them, and kicked the guitar out of Jiro's hands, causing the crowd to cheer even louder.
"Now that I have your attention, why don't you put down the instruments, and get ready for a fight!" Spinelli exclaimed, the crowd cheering as she dropped the microphone and demanded that Jiro got up from her stool, and walked right into Spinelli's face. However, rather than respond, Jiro hit Spinelli in the side of the head with a headbutt, with the crowd cheering as Hana tackled Jiro down and started punching her in the side of the head. Juniper then grabbed Hana by the hair, pulling her off of Jiro, but Hana responded with multiple back elbows to the side of the head, and pushing her into the corner.
"Hana and Spinelli not taking the disrespect from Jiro and Juniper anymore, ending the concert prematurely!" Striker exclaimed as Hana kicked Jiro in the gut, picked her up, and attempted to hit her with a kick to the head, but Juniper grabbed one of the stools and hit Hana in the back with the stool hard enough to break it. Spinelli tackled Juniper to the ground and hit her with multiple elbow strikes to the side of the head, but Jiro grabbed her guitar and hit Spinelli in the back, causing the guitar to crash into pieces. The crowd continued booing as Jiro grabbed one of the guitar strings, and choked Spinelli with them. When Hana attempted to help, Juniper grabbed another guitar string, and choked Hana with it, throwing her to the other side of the ring while continuing the choking.
"Well, it looks like Jiro and Juniper didn't take too kindly to being interrupted either, as they're punishing Spinelli and Hana!" Bob exclaimed as referees came down, and pulled Jiro and Juniper off of Hana and Spinelli. Spinelli began coughing up blood as Jiro and Juniper were pulled out of the ring, with Jiro yelling at Spinelli that she and Hana shouldn't have interrupted her and Juniper. Juniper flipped off the booing crowd, Hana, and Spinelli while being pulled away from the ring by the referees. The camera then panned to the backstage interview area, where Kyle Davis was standing next to Kurt Bale, who had a big smirk on his face.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with Kurt Bale, who lost the Final Chance match on Intensity to be the final entrant in the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber match," Scott explained. Bale looked a little annoyed at the mention that he lost, but nodded and moved the microphone closer to his mouth.
"That's right, Kyle, and you know something? I actually had some respect for Mercury winning that match on his own, without any member of the NWO. But that respect went right down the toilet when he joined the rest of the NWO in beating me down while I was slipping in and out of consciousness," Bale explained, absentmindedly rubbing the back of his head, right where he had been stomped by Bakugo and Mercury.
"So Bale, why are you here tonight?" Scott asked, with Bale responding with a raised eyebrow and a chuckle before putting the microphone back underneath his mouth.
"Well Kyle, I'm here to scout the NWO. I'm here to make sure that nothing goes awry and rest assured, I'm going to be a constant thorn in the NWO's side, and I'm going to make their Road to Starshow a nightmare," Bale explained, patting Scott on the back before giving the microphone back to him, and walking back to the locker room as the camera panned back to the stage.
