70. BTWF Intensity (March Week 4)

BTWF Intensity (March Week 4)

The show opens up with Crona Gorgon arriving at the arena with his bags slung over his shoulder. Crona looked happy thanks to the fact his plan to get a BTWF Cruiserweight Championship match worked, holding the BTWF Cruiserweight Championship contract while twirling it around his fingers. However, Crona stopped when Megumin and Darkness came stomping over to him, with Megumin pushing Crona.

"You got a lot of nerve walking in here like you're hot shit when you forced Kazuma into a title match that you don't deserve!" Megumin exclaimed with Darkness nodding in agreement before Crona put the BTWF Cruiserweight Championship match contract in his pocket.

"Actually, Kazuma's the one who doesn't deserve the BTWF Cruiserweight Championship. I remember that day at Christmas Chaos when he nearly caved my skull in with a wrench. And ever since then, he's snuck away with my title in almost every match he's ever defended the title in," Crona countered as Megumin looked irritated, but Darkness put an arm in front of Megumin and walked up to the former Cruiserweight Champion.

"You might think you have the upper-hand going into StarShow, but we're not going to let Kazuma lose the championship he's worked hard to keep just because of some cheap trick!" Darkness countered back. However, Crona smirked as he took the match contract out of his pocket, and opened up the contract.

"Actually…you won't. See, the contract I…persuaded Kazuma to sign said that nobody is allowed at ringside. Meaning that if you or Megumin decide to try and interfere on Kazuma's behalf, not only is Kazuma gonna lose, but the Cruiserweight title will come back to me. Oh, and you can forget about any more wrenches and over weapons getting involved, because Kazuma also agreed that there would be a second referee on the outside, to make sure that nothing like what happened at Christmas Chaos happens again," Crona explained, his finger moving down the contract as he explained the rules. Megumin and Darkness leaned in to get a better look at the contract and looked incensed as everything Crona said was confirmed by the legally binding contract he produced.

"Well…well that doesn't matter! Kazuma's going to destroy you at StarShow!" Megumin exclaimed as Crona let out a chuckle before putting the contract back in his pocket.

"Don't sound as confident as you did on the first DFW (Draconic Fury Wrestling) show, huh? Well, that Cruiserweight Championship helped me find my voice in the BTWF, and I'm going to get it back no matter what!" Crona exclaimed before Megumin walked up to him once again. Megumin slapped Crona hard in the face, turning Crona around and stunning him, allowing the BTWF Cruiserweight Champion to hit Crona in the back of the head with the championship belt. Kazuma then handed the championship over to Darkness before mounting Crona, and hitting him in the side of the head with multiple punches and forearms, busting the side of Crona's head open.

"You're never going to get that title back!" Kazuma yelled before picking Crona up and throwing him into the wall. Kazuma then stomped and kicked at Crona's face and chest before picking him up and dropping him on a production crate with a Back Suplex before backing away. Kazuma then patted the BTWF Cruiserweight Championship Darkness was holding before hitting Crona in the face with a Kazuma Kick (Running Machika Kick). Kazuma then grabbed the contract out of Crona's pocket and shoved it in his mouth.

"You know, Crona? I could've gotten my lawyers to call this match off given the fact that you forced me to sign that contract! But I realized that this was a golden opportunity; an opportunity to make sure you NEVER get your hands on this belt again. So I had Overhaul write an extra clause in this contract; when you lose at StarShow, you're NEVER going to get another BTWF Cruiserweight title match again!" Kazuma exclaimed before choking a bloodied Crona with his boot, Megumin and Darkness kept the referees at bay so they couldn't get Kazuma.

"You better say goodbye to the Cruiserweight Championship, Crona, because this is the last time you're EVER gonna be in the same vicinity of it!" Kazuma exclaimed before giving Crona one last stomp on the nose before Darkness handed him his BTWF Cruiserweight Championship back. Kazuma glared down at Crona, raising the championship over his head before walking away with Megumin and Darkness quickly following him while several referees checked on a dazed and bleeding Crona. The camera then panned to the stage while the referees helped Crona back to his feet and put the contract back in his pocket.

'Fight' by Oleander played, the crowd exploding into cheers as pyro went off from on the stage and around the TitanTron. The crowd continued cheering as the cameras panned around the arena, showing off the signs that the fans brought to the ring, such as 'Midoriya's Coming For You, Bakugo!', 'Luna's Gonna Kick the Demon Away!', and 'Lucy Still Sucks Eggs!'. The camera then panned around and settled on the commentary team, who looked jazzed to be at the show.

"Welcome to the last episode of BTWF Intensity before StarShow, ladies and gentlemen! From Henderson, Nevada, I'm Matt Striker alongside my broadcast partners Kotoko Iwanaga and Bob Belcher, and do we have a stacked show for you tonight!" Striker exclaimed as the camera focused on Kotoko and Bob, who waved to the camera while Matt looked back at the cheering crowd and smiled at the fans.

"That's right, Striker! Not only will we have BTWF World Heavyweight Champion Katsuki Bakugo going up against Bickslow in our main event, but we also have Blake Belladonna going up against Lucy Heartfilia to determine how Team RWBY vs. the Conglomerate at StarShow will happen, and Maka & Winry battling Louise & Lisa to see who will be the last team to join the Fatal-4-Way Women's Tag Team #1 contenders match!" Kotoko exclaimed as the camera panned to the stage, where 'Young' by Hollywood Undead played, the crowd booing as Gray and Lyon came walking out of the back with their Fiore's Top Team tracksuits.

"And speaking of action, we're starting off with our own 8-man tag team match!" Bob exclaimed as Gray and Lyon fist-bumped on the center of the stage before 'MANTRA' by Bring Me The Horizon played, the crowd booing louder as Pete Corvus came out with Tsubaki in one hand, and his BTWF Tag Team Championship in his other hand, and Kite next to him. Corvus and Kite showed off their BTWF Tag Team Championships by raising the belts in the air while Gray and Lyon looked at the titles with smirks on their faces.

"The following contest is an 8-man tag team match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, the team of Gray Fullbuster & Lyon Bastia, Fiore's Top Team, and accompanied to the ring by Tsubaki and representing the NWO, they are the BTWF Tag Team Champions, Pete Corvus and Kite!" Tony Chimel announced, the crowd continuing to boo as Corvus and Kite noticed Gray and Lyon looking at their titles, swiping them out of Fiore's Top Team's faces before beginning their walk to the ring. Gray and Lyon looked at each other with their smirks not leaving their faces and fist-bumped each other again before following the BTWF Tag Team Champions and Tsubaki to the ring.

"The match hasn't even started yet and we already have tension between the two teams! But you can't be surprised, since they both want those BTWF Tag Team Championships!" Striker exclaimed as Corvus and Kite continued showing off the tag team titles while Gray and Lyon told the camera that StarShow was going to be their coronation as tag champs. Corvus turned around, telling them that he heard that and that they were never going to get the BTWF Tag Team Championships. Lyon told him that they'd see about that before he and Gray slid into the ring from underneath the bottom rope.

"If they want to win this match, they better get their act together and focus," Bob explained as Corvus kicked the side of the steel steps in frustration before rolling into the ring from underneath the bottom rope after he and Kite handed their BTWF Tag Team titles to Tsubaki. Kite walked up the steel steps, jumped over the top rope, and high-fived Corvus before the two went into the corner, immediately starting another argument with Gray and Lyon. While the four were arguing, TM-61's 'Stand Tall' theme song played, the crowd cheering as Tanjiro and Ganta came out with Boze and Shane following them out of the back.

"And their opponents, the team of Boze, Shane, and the Japanese Destroyers of Tanjiro Kamado and Ganta Igarashi!" Tony Chimel announced as Tanjiro got onto his knees and clapped his hands together while Ganta kissed his fist, and raised it in the air. Boze and Shane high-fived Tanjiro and Ganta once they jumped back up to their feet. The crowd continued cheering as the four men walked down the entranceway and high-fived as many fans as they could. Tanjiro and Ganta slid into the ring from underneath the bottom rope and did the same pose in the ring as they did in the center of the stage. Meanwhile, Boze and Shane walked up the steel steps, with Shane jumping up to the top rope and Boze walking into the ring. He crowd continued cheering as Boze did some break-dancing right in the middle of the ring, with Shane, Tanjiro, and Ganta cheering him on.

"Unlike Fiore's Top Team and the NWO, the Japanese Destroyers, Boze, and Shane seem to be getting along really well," Bob noted as the four men got into the other corner, discussing battle plans before the referee made sure both teams were ready. The referee then told the timekeeper to ring the bell, with Tanjiro and Gray being in the ring as the legal participants, the crowd loving it as both men immediately locked up with each other once the bell rang. Gray pushed Tanjiro into the corner and attempted to hit him with a Knife-Edge Chop, but Tanjiro blocked the chop, threw him into the corner, and attempted to hit him with a kick to the chest. Gray was able to grab the foot and attempted to lock him in an Ankle Lock, but Tanjiro was able to use his leg power to throw Gray off of him. Gray attempted to hit Tanjiro with a Back Elbow, but Tanjiro ducked and attempted to hit him with a kick to the side of the head, but Gray ducked and attempted to put him in position for a German Suplex.

"Tanjiro and Gray's respective tag teams had an impressive feud over bragging rights, and this opening sequence shows just how much these two teams know about each other!" Striker exclaimed as Gray attempted to hit him with a German Suplex, but Tanjiro was able to land on his feet behind Gray and roll him up with a Victory Roll.

"Gray and Tanjiro continuing to show just how much their feud helped them learn about each other's moves, making them even!" Kotoko exclaimed as Tanjiro kipped back up to his feet, and attempted to hit Gray with a kick. Gray grabbed the kick and spat in Tanjiro's face, the crowd booing before going back to cheering as Tanjiro knocked Gray down with a Somersault Kick. Tanjiro then grabbed Gray by the side of the head, hitting him with several punches before sending him staggering into the corner with a Spin Kick to the gut. Tanjiro then ran into the corner, hitting Gray with a Running Corner Spin Kick before tagging Ganta into the match. The crowd continued cheering as Tanjiro threw Gray out of the corner, allowing Ganta to hit Gray in the back of the head with a Springboard Dropkick.

"That Somersault Kick almost knocked Gray's head clean off, but it made sure that the Japanese Destroyers got control of this match!" Striker exclaimed as Ganta picked Gray up, and hit him with several Knife-Edge Chops to the side of the head. Gray, however, blocked one of the chops, and put him in a side Headlock, pushing him into the ropes, and allowing Lyon to tag himself into the match. Gray pushed Ganta into the ropes, and he and Lyon attempted to hit the rebounding Ganta with a Double Hip Toss, but Ganta landed on his feet, the crowd cheering as he springboarded onto the middle rope, knocking both down with a Springboard Crossbody. The crowd continued cheering as Ganta grabbed Gray, and threw him out of the ring before hitting Lyon with a Basement Dropkick to the side of the head before pushing him into the ropes.

"That was a brilliant counter by Ganta, sending both members of Fiore's Top Team down!" Bob exclaimed as Ganta ran the ropes, tagged Boze into the match, and hit Lyon with a Tiger Feint Kick. Lyon staggered to the center of the ring, allowing Boze to hit him with a Diving Missile Dropkick, the crowd continued cheering as Boze ran the ropes, and hit a Somersault Leg Drop across the throat before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2

Boze picked Lyon up and hit him with several punches before throwing him into the corner, attempting to hit him with a Running Corner Clothesline. However, Lyon responded with a kick to the jaw, sending Boze staggering away before attempting to hit him with a Running Clothesline of his own, but Boze was able to counter with a Snap Powerslam.

"A Randy Orton-esque Powerslam by Boze, almost breaking Lyon's back!" Bob exclaimed as Boze picked Lyon up, and attempted to hit him with the Make Some Noise (Scissors Kick), but Lyon was able to back away and kick Boze in the gut. The crowd booed as Lyon threw Boze into the corner, and hit him with a Running Corner Back Elbow before tagging Gray into the match. The crowd booed as Lyon threw Boze down with a Snapmare before Gray ran the ropes, and hit Boze in the face with a Running Basement Dropkick. Lyon kicked Boze in the side of the head before getting to the apron while Gray hit Boze with a Jumping Knee Drop to the head. Gray picked Boze back up and hit him with several Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before throwing him into the ropes, but Boze dodged an attempted Clothesline and knocked Gray back down with a Running Forearm.

"Corvus and Kite haven't gotten into this match yet, hoping that Gray and Lyon can weaken the opposing team before StarShow," Striker explained as Boze picked Gray up, and hit him with several punches to the side of the head before tagging Shane into the match. The crowd continued cheering as Boze hit Gray with a Reverse Atomic Drop before putting him in a Bearhug, allowing Shane to springboard into the ring with a Springboard Clothesline at the same time Boze hit a Spinebuster. Shane then jumped off of Boze's shoulders to hit a Standing Moonsault onto Gray's chest before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2

"We haven't seen a lot of Boze and Shane since they were under the thumb of the Nation, but they're already showing why the fans have supported them despite their situation!" Kotoko exclaimed as Shane picked Gray up, and hit him with several kicks to the chest before attempting to hit him with a Spinning Savate Kick, but Gray ducked the kick and hit him with a hard Knife-Edge Chop to the chest that sent him staggering into the ropes. Gray then attempted to hit him with a Running Clothesline, but Shane threw Gray overhead, sending him onto the apron. Gray attempted to grab Shane, but he pushed Gray away, kicked him in the gut, and then ran the ropes, and hit a Cartwheel Pele Kick to Gray's head, sending him falling off the ring apron.

"A beautiful kick by Shane sending Gray falling onto the floor! And with Shane, the floor is prime real estate!" Striker exclaimed as Shane ran the ropes again, and hit a Springboard Triangle Moonsault onto Gray. However, while Shane was celebrating with the crowd, Corvus ran onto the other side of the apron and hit a Running Cannonball Senton off the apron and onto Shane. Corvus celebrated taking Shane down, the crowd booing before Boze ran the ropes, and hit a Running Baseball Slide Dropkick to the back of the head, sending Corvus staggering into the ring apron.

"This match starting to break down, with Corvus getting physical for the first time since this match started!" Kotoko exclaimed as Boze slid out of the ring, and began punching Boze in the side of the face. The crowd began booing again as Lyon ran the ropes, and dived over the top rope, taking both Boze and Corvus down with the Vaulting Crossbody. Lyon looked at a downed Corvus but shrugged before attempting to help Gray up, but the crowd cheered again as Ganta vaulted over the steel corner post, hitting both Gray and Lyon with a Vaulting Somersault Senton. Kite then ran the ropes and nailed Ganta with a Suicide Dive to the back while he was celebrating with the cheering fans.

"Kite, like a torpedo, ramming himself right into Ganta's back. I…really hope that doesn't get taken out of context," Bob chuckled to himself as Tanjiro hit a bragging Kite with an Asai Moonsault. Meanwhile, Shane grabbed Gray by the hair, and threw him back into the ring before hitting him with a Springboard Clothesline, going for a pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

Shane stomped on Gray several times before he jumped up to the top rope, and when Gray got back to his feet, Shane attempted to hit Gray with a Diving Hurricanrana, but the crowd booed as Gray was able to catch Shane, and hit him with a Catch Powerbomb.

"Oh, God! Gray almost sent Shane through the ring with that Powerbomb!" Striker exclaimed as Gray picked Shane up, threw him into the corner, and hit him with several hard Knife-Edge Chops to the chest. The crowd continued booing as Gray argued with the jeering fans, but Corvus tagged himself back into the match, much to Gray's chagrin, and began raining down punches onto the side of Shane's head before running the ropes, and hitting him with a Running Corner Forearm to the side of the head. Corvus then swept Shane's leg out, sending him crashing into a seated position in front of the bottom turnbuckle, allowing Corvus to run the ropes, and hit a Running Face Wash. As Corvus made a move to run the ropes again, Lyon tagged himself in once he got back on the apron, the crowd booing again as Lyon went into the ring and began choking Shane with his boot.

"Despite gaining control, Fiore's Top Team and the NWO are still at each other's throats!" Bob exclaimed as Lyon picked Shane up, and hit him with a Snap Vertical Suplex. Lyon put Shane in a seated position, hitting him with multiple punches to the side of the head before running the ropes, and hitting him with a Big Boot to the side of the head. Lyon ran the ropes and hit him with a Running Leg Drop across the throat before rolling back to his corner and tagging Gray back into the match. The crowd continued booing as Gray picked Shane up in a Pumphandle position, hit him with a Pumphandle Gutbuster, and held him in there so Lyon could run the ropes and hit a Running Basement Dropkick to the side of the head. Gray then turned Shane around and hit him with a Backbreaker, and Lyon responded by springboarding off the middle rope, hitting Shane across the throat with a Springboard Leg Drop before Gray went for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

"Lyon and Gray showing off some of their tag team moves, possibly showing Corvus and Kite what they're in for at StarShow!" Kotoko exclaimed as Gray picked Shane up, and hit him with several forearms to the side of the head, sending him falling onto his knees. The crowd continued booing as Gray kicked the side of Shane's head several times before Shane attempted to come back with some punches of his own, aiming at Gray's gut. However, Gray responded with a hard knee strike to the side of the head before hitting Shane with an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex. Gray then picked Shane up, grabbed him by the hair, and slammed his face into the top turnbuckle multiple times before hitting him with a Back Suplex.

"Gray continuing to dominate Shane in the ring, sending him crashing down to the mat with a hard Back Suplex!" Striker exclaimed as Gray picked Shane up, threw him into his corner, hit him with a couple of Knife-Edge Chops, and attempted to tag Lyon back into the match, but Corvus tagged himself into the match. The crowd continued booing as Corvus ran the ropes, and hit a Running Corner Clothesline hard enough to send him falling back down in a seated position in front of the bottom turnbuckle. Corvus then ran the ropes, hitting Shane with a Running Cannonball Senton before pulling him out of the corner, and hitting him with a Neckbreaker.

"Corvus not letting Fiore's Top Team outshine the NWO tonight!" Bob exclaimed as Corvus stomped on Shane's head multiple times before running the ropes to hit him with a Running Senton across the chest. Corvus then tagged Kite into the match, the both of them picking Shane up by the arm, hitting him with multiple punches to the gut, and then hitting him with a Double Gutbuster. The crowd continued booing as Kite hit Shane in the chest with several Elbow Drops to the chest before picking him back up and hitting him with several punches before throwing him back down with a Gourdbuster.

"Shane is worlds away from his corner, but Tanjiro, Ganta, and Boze look ready to get back into the match!" Striker exclaimed as Corvus ran the ropes, and turned Shane inside out with a Running Clothesline before going for the pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.

Ref: 1…2..

Corvus looked annoyed at the fact Shane had kicked out, responding by locking him in a Bodyscissors, with Shane yelling out in pain while trying to pull himself away from Corvus' legs. Shane shook his head, refusing to give up as he continued trying to pull himself away, this time trying to reach for the ropes. Corvus began clubbing Shane in the chest before continuing to squeeze his midsection with his legs, but the crowd began cheering as Shane hit Corvus in the side of the head with several Back Elbows to the side of the head, allowing himself to pull away from Corvus' legs.

"Shane is able to free himself, but he's been beaten so much that he's fallen straight onto his knees!" Kotoko exclaimed as Shane attempted to get to his corner, but Corvus was able to make it back to his feet and attempted to hit him with a German Suplex. However, Shane was able to land on his feet behind Corvus. However, Corvus turned around and attempted to hit him with a Superkick, but Shane was able to Matrix out of the way, and hit Corvus with a Superkick of his own, sending him staggering into his own corner. Lyon tagged himself back into the match, the crowd booing as he clubbed Shane in the back of the head, before hitting him with another Leg Drop across the back of the neck.

"Lyon stopping Shane when he was only fingertips away from his partners!" Striker exclaimed as Lyon picked Shane up, and attempted to hit him with the Ice Pick (Snap Inverted DDT proceeded by a Scoop Slam). However, the crowd cheered as Shane was able to counter with a Stundog Millionaire, sending Lyon staggering away. This allowed Shane to finally make the tag, the crowd exploding into cheers as Tanjiro tagged himself back into the match, hitting a staggered Lyon with multiple kicks to the sides before knocking him to all fours with a Spinning Kick to the gut.

"Tanjiro is finally back in this match, and he immediately goes straight for the kicks, and with the effect they're having on Lyon, who can blame him!?" Kotoko exclaimed as Tanjiro ran the ropes, and hit a Jumping Double Foot Stomp to Lyon's back before putting him in a seated position, and kicking him in the back multiple times. The crowd continued cheering as Tanjiro picked Lyon back up, and hit her with several Open Palm Strikes to the side of the head before throwing him into the corner. Tanjiro ran into the corner, hitting a Handspring Corner Enziguri to the side of Lyon's head before throwing him out of the corner, jumping up onto the middle turnbuckle, and hitting a dazed Lyon with a Missile Dropkick to the back of the head before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

"Tanjiro taking it to Lyon, almost knocking his head clean off with that Missile Dropkick!" Bob exclaimed as Tanjiro clapped his hands together, much to the crowd's delight, before attempting to hit Lyon with a Buzzsaw Kick, but Lyon ducked, hit Tanjiro with a Headbutt to the chest, and hit him with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex. The crowd booed as Lyon grabbed both of Tanjiro's legs, and attempted to lock him in the Diamond Cage (Scorpion Death Lock), but Tanjiro responded by kicking Lyon in the arm several times in the side of the arm before attempting to pull him back down to the mat. However, Lyon responded by stomping on Tanjiro's face several times before picking him up and attempting to hit him with the Ice Pick (Snap Reverse DDT), but Tanjiro grabbed Lyon's neck and hit him with multiple knee strikes to the face.

"Tanjiro not letting up with the strikes, those knees looking hard enough to break Lyon's nose!" Striker exclaimed as Tanjiro turned around, and hit a Jumping Kick to the side of the head, sending Lyon falling onto the floor face first. Tanjiro ran the ropes and attempted to hit a move, but Gray hit him with a knee to the back from the apron, sending him falling onto one knee. The crowd continued booing as Lyon hit a Running Basement Dropkick to the face, and attempted to once again hit him with the Ice Pick (Snap Reverse DDT), but the crowd booed as Corvus tagged himself into the match. Lyon looked annoyed as Corvus grabbed Tanjiro and hit him with a Scoop Slam before hitting him with several Elbow Drops.

"Corvus once again stealing the momentum from Fiore's Top Team, taking advantage of what they did to snuff Tanjiro out!" Kotoko exclaimed as Lyon turned Corvus around, and began arguing with him about stealing their moment. Corvus blew him off and began stomping on Tanjiro before Lyon turned Corvus around, and slapped him in the face. Corvus looked furious at Lyon's disrespect before hitting him with a Superkick in the side of the face, the crowd continuing to boo as Gray pulled a dazed Lyon out of the ring, walking him away from the match, and yelling at Corvus and Kite that they can handle this themselves. Corvus responded by spitting at Fiore's Top Team before picking Tanjiro up, attempting to put him in position for the Package Piledriver, but Tanjiro was able to keep himself on his feet and hit Corvus with a kick to the side of the head. Corvus responded with a Forearm to the side of the head, and Tanjiro responded with a Scorpion Kick to the top of the head. Corvus in turn responded with a Discus Forearm to the side of the head.

"These two are exchanging hard strikes with each other, but I'll give it to Corvus, he's taking it to the striker of the Japanese Destroyers!" Striker exclaimed as Corvus and Tanjiro glared at each other before hitting each other with a Superkick, knocking both men down. While Gray and Lyon continued walking back up the entranceway, Tanjiro made his way into his corner, but the crowd booed as Kite ran over to the opposing corner, pulled Ganta down off the apron, and threw him into the steel steps. The crowd continued booing as Kite picked Ganta up, and hit him with the Fireman's Carry Rolling Slam onto the padded concrete floor. However, while Kite was basking in the negative reaction of the fans, Shane ran off the apron, throwing Kite into the fan barricade with an Apron Hurricanrana.

"Kite was able to take Ganta out, but he himself was taken out by Shane, leaving Corvus alone with two men in the ring!" Kotoko exclaimed as Corvus grabbed Tanjiro by the foot, and attempted to pull him back to the center of the ring, but Tanjiro pushed Corvus away with his feet, tagging Boze into the match. The crowd continued cheering as when Corvus got back onto his feet, Boze turned Corvus inside out with a Jumping Leg Lariat. Boze then ran the ropes and hit a now-bent over Corvus with a Make Some Noise (Scissors Kick) before going for the pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.

*Bell Rings*

"Here are your winners, the team of the Japanese Destroyers of Tanjiro Kamado & Ganta Igarashi, Boze, and Shane!" Tony Chimel announced, the crowd continuing to cheer as Boze did some break-dancing while on the floor, pulling himself back up on his feet. Tanjiro came into the ring with a smile on his face, high-fived Boze, and hugged him, the crowd continuing to cheer as Corvus rolled out of the ring while holding the back of his neck. Tsubaki knelt down to hug Corvus while being careful of his neck, while in the ring, Boze and Tanjiro continued celebrating in the ring.

"The ego of the BTWF Tag Team Champions cost them big in this match! We may have gotten a sneak peek at the StarShow tag title match!" Bob exclaimed as Boze and Tanjiro respectfully talked to each other about their goals for the StarShow title match. As they did so, Ganta Igarashi and Shane slid into the ring and walked next to their respective partners. Tanjiro and Boze looked at their partners, and then back at each other, with Boze telling Tanjiro that after everything they went through with the Nation of Domination 2.0, they were going to become BTWF Tag Team Champions.

"The NWO have a busy schedule at StarShow, and two motivated teams are not going to be good for their goal of maintaining their grip on the BTWF Tag Team Championships!" Striker exclaimed as on the outside, Corvus and Kite looked furious at the loss, with Kite kicking the side of the steel steps in frustration, while Corvus growled under his breath that someone was going to pay for this. Gray and Lyon looked at what was going on from the stage, and smirked, with Gray looking at the camera before telling the fans at home that they were going to let the Japanese Destroyers, Boze, and Shane have their moment because they weren't going to be standing around and celebrating at StarShow.

"Make that three motivated teams, as Gray and Lyon don't look like they're going to take it easy at StarShow!" Kotoko exclaimed as they continued with Lyon saying that they were going to become the BTWF Tag Team Champions like they deserve. The camera then panned to the backstage area while Boze, Shane, Tanjiro, and Ganta raised their arms up in victory while the crowd continued cheering.

The camera focused backstage, with Kim Chin sitting on top of a production crate criss-cross applesauce, her eyes closed while her head was tilted down to the floor. Madison walked up to her without her cowgirl accessories and looked very remorseful, but before she could say anything, Kim shot her eyes open, revealing an irritated look when she saw who was standing in front of her.

"What do you want, Madison? I thought I told you that I don't want a thing to do with you," Kim asked irritably, clearly not wanting to hear anything Madison had to say. However, Madison didn't get the message, took a deep breath, and continued talking to her former friend.

"Kim, I know you're probably tired of hearing this, but…I'm sorry for everything. I can't explain what I was thinking when I took you out with a steel chair years ago, but I've regretted it ever since, and it's eaten at me for so long," Madison explained before Kim jumped off the production crate, and stomped over to Madison, getting right into her face.

"Oh, it's eaten at YOU for so long!? How do you think I felt!? We've been friends since we went to Westley School for the Performing Arts together, and you just stabbed me in the back like it was nothing! And you think you can just come back into my life just because you…kissed me!?" Kim yelled out, her face exploding into a red blush as she remembered the kiss Madison gave her at Last Gasp.

"My life spiraled out of control last year. There were several times that I almost died and thought I was never going to come back to the BTWF. Those moments really put a lot of things in perspective and made me realize that I made a lot of mistakes in my life. One of those mistakes was betraying the woman I love," Madison confessed, looking down at the ground, the corners of her eyes forming tears. Kim, on the other hand, looked unmoved as she looked down at a downtrodden Madison, conflicted as to how she should be feeling about this confession.

"What you did to me was unforgivable," was all Kim said, though she couldn't look at Madison. Before Madison could say anything else, Kim turned around and walked away, but Madison didn't look dejected. Rather, Madison had a small smile on her face, with Kim's unsure response to her gave her hope that they could be together once again. Madison walked away, her small hopeful smile still evident on her face before the camera panned back to the stage.

The camera focused on the stage, with Riley Osborne's 'Engine' theme song played, the crowd cheering as Colt came running out of the back, jumping and cartwheeling in the air before landing on his feet. Colt then went to the camera, telling the fans at home that he didn't need TJ or his advice. Colt then stopped at the center of the ring, slapped the floor several times, and slapped both sides of his face several times to hype himself up before walking down the entranceway.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Liberio, Marley, Colt Grice!" Tony Chimel announced as Colt continued making his way to the ring, high-fiving the fans in the front row. Colt told the camera that he was coming after the Cruiserweight Championship and that he was going to rub it in TJ's face before continuing to high-five fans on his way to the ringside area. When Colt made it to the ringside area, he looked over at the cheering fans before taking his white ring jacket off, throwing it to the ground, and running to the ring, jumping onto the ring apron.

"Colt's only been on this roster for a few weeks, but has already gotten under the skin of our resident guru, TJ Detweiler!" Bob exclaimed as Colt springboarded into the ring, rolling to the center of the ring before kipping back up to his feet. Colt then ran over to one of the corners, jumped up to the top rope, and pointed at all the cheering fans, telling them that he was doing this for them. Colt then jumped back down to the center of the ring and pointed at all the cheering fans before hitting a Jumping Cartwheel and sliding onto his knees.

"And from what we've seen given TJ's recent obsession with trying to become a mentor to Colt, this may not even be the last time we see them together!" Striker exclaimed as Colt went into the corner, looking straight at the stage. The crowd began booing as Joe Gacy's 'Love is Blind' theme song played, with TJ coming out of the back with his usual white robe and new smiley face mask. TJ raised his head so that the mask was looking right at Colt before he began walking down the entranceway.

"And his opponent, from the Temple of Wisdom, 'the Guru' TJ Detweiler!" Tony Chimel announced as TJ ignored the fans booing him, and continued walking down to the ringside area. When TJ made it to the ringside area, he took off his robe, gently placing it on the floor before taking off his mask, revealing a sick smile of his own. TJ stayed at the ringside area, telling Colt that things didn't have to be this way and that they could've been the best of friends. Colt shook his head while TJ continued with his rant, telling Colt that he needed TJ almost as much as TJ needed him.

"I don't know what about Colt makes TJ so enamored with him, but he clearly still believes that they can be an effective pairing," Kotoko noted as TJ rolled into the ring from underneath the bottom rope, and outstretched his arms, seemingly not noticing that the crowd were booing him. Colt shook his head while stretching in the corner as TJ looked back at him, glared at him, and warned him that he didn't want to be TJ's enemy. Colt responded by shaking his head, and telling him that he wasn't scared, which TJ nodded at, smiling while saying that he was going to regret saying that.

"I have to respect Colt for not backing down and sticking to his guns, but hopefully he can back it up in the ring," Bob admitted as the referee checked to see if the trash-talking rivals were ready. The referee then told the timekeeper to ring the bell, starting the match, with Colt immediately bum-rushing TJ, tackling him to the ground, and punching him in the side of the head multiple times. The crowd continued cheering as TJ tried to get away from Colt, but Colt maintained his grip on TJ, hitting him with more punches and forearms to the side of the head. TJ finally made it to the ropes, the crowd booing as Colt was forced to back away as TJ kept his grip tight on the top rope.

"Colt's anger at TJ's harassment of him for the past few weeks coming out in a big way at the beginning of this match!" Striker exclaimed as TJ attempted to hit Colt with a Spinning Leg Lariat, but Colt ducked and hit him with several punches to the side of TJ's head before throwing him into the ropes. When TJ rebounded, Colt hit a Single Leg Running Dropkick to the face, but TJ was able to jump back to his feet, which Colt responded to by hitting TJ in the side of the head with a hard Spinning Forearm to the side of the head. Colt then picked TJ up and attempted to hit him with a Brainbuster, but TJ hit several knees to the top of the head, allowing him to free himself from Colt's grasp.

"TJ with some hard knees to the face, finally able to get some offense in on Colt!" Bob exclaimed as TJ hit Colt with a Spinning Kick to the gut before running the ropes, attempting to hit him with a Clothesline. The crowd cheered, however, as Colt matrix-dodged out of the way of the Clothesline before taking TJ down with a Hip Toss. The crowd continued cheering as Colt cartwheeled in front of TJ and hit a seated TJ in the face with a Basement Dropkick to the face. TJ once again attempted to get away from Colt, but he responded by picking TJ up and hitting him with a Snap Vertical Suplex before picking him back up and throwing him into the corner. Colt then ran into the corner, hitting him with a Running Back Elbow to the side of the head before climbing up to the middle rope, and began hitting him with the ten-punch salute.

"Colt not letting up on TJ, trapping him in the corner with multiple punches!" Striker exclaimed as Colt attempted to throw TJ out of the corner with a Monkey Flip, but TJ pushed Colt off of him, sending him onto the ground. Colt rolled back onto his feet, but TJ was able to respond by hitting him with a hard kick to the chest. The crowd continued booing as TJ grabbed Colt by the hair, and hit him with several European Uppercuts to the chin before putting him over his shoulders. TJ walked over to the ropes and attempted to throw Colt out of the ring, but the crowd cheered as Colt hit him several times in the side of the head with Back Elbows. TJ, however, put Colt in position for a Powerbomb instead, but when TJ attempted to hit Colt with a Liger Bomb, Colt countered with a Hurricanrana, sending TJ flying to the other side of the ring.

"Amazing counter by Colt! Had he not countered that we may have had to pry Colt off the floor with a spatula!" Bob exclaimed as Colt attempted to hit a stunned TJ with a Running Big Boot, but TJ ducked and pulled down the top rope, causing Colt to fall onto the apron. The crowd continued booing as TJ stunned Colt with a kick to the side of the head before walking onto the ring apron. TJ continued going after Colt with several hard forearms to the side of the head before picking him up in a Fireman's Carry, attempting to hit him with a Death Valley Driver onto the ring apron. However, Colt countered by hitting TJ in the side of the head with multiple elbow strikes before attempting to push TJ into the ring post.

"I don't feel comfortable about this. The apron of the ring is one of the most dangerous parts of the ring with all the steel and sharp edges surrounding the competitors," Kotoko admitted as TJ blocked his throw into the post with his foot. The crowd began booing again as TJ hit Colt with several kicks to the chest before attempting to throw him into the steel ring post, but Colt was able to swing to the other side of the ring apron, kicked TJ in the side of the head with a Tiger Feint Kick, and then jumped over the top turnbuckle, and threw TJ off the ring apron with a Sunset Flip Powerbomb. Colt stretched his back while TJ was writhing around on the ground in pain before Colt stomped on TJ's back several times.

"Some amazing athleticism by Colt, vaulting over the top of the ring post to send TJ crashing down onto the padded concrete with a Sunset Flip Powerbomb!" Striker exclaimed as Colt picked TJ up, and smashed his head into the steel ring apron several times before throwing him back into the ring. The crowd continued cheering as Colt jumped back onto the apron, and springboarded back into the ring with a Tope Col Hilo to TJ's chest before going for the pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.

Colt looked surprised at TJ kicking out, but immediately responded by picking him up by the hair, and hit him with several Knife-Edge Chops to the chest.

"Colt trying to cave TJ's chest in with those chops!" Bob exclaimed as Colt threw TJ back into the corner, and attempted to hit him with a Running Kick in the corner, but the crowd booed as TJ was able to catch Colt in a Powerbomb position. TJ then hit Colt with a Powerbomb that sent his back crashing against his knee. Colt grabbed his back in pain, and TJ responded by hitting him in the side of the head with a Running Knee Strike before dropping multiple knees onto Colt's back.

"TJ's immediately found a target, and that's the back of Colt! Colt did bounce off the floor like a bouncy ball after that Sunset Flip Powerbomb!" Kotoko exclaimed as TJ grabbed Colt, and threw him into the corner before ramming his shoulder into Colt's back multiple times until the referee pulled him out of the corner. TJ then went back into the corner and hit a Running Knee Strike to the side of Colt's back before pulling on his hair, and yelling at Colt that the pain he was going through was all his fault. TJ then folded Colt up like an accordion with a Back Drop Driver before running the ropes and hitting a Jumping Elbow Drop across the small of his back.

"TJ trying to gaslight Colt into thinking that the pain he's going through is his own fault, which is absolutely delusional," Striker noted as TJ picked Colt back up, and began hitting him in the back with multiple forearm strikes, sending Colt back onto his knees. TJ grabbed Colt by the hair again and yelled that he should've just listened to him and that he and Colt would've been a great team together. Colt attempted to fight back with several punches to the gut, but TJ kicked Colt in the nose before hitting him with a Back Suplex. The crowd continued booing as TJ ran the ropes, and hit a seated-Colt with a Running Penalty Kick to the chest before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

TJ glared down at Colt, grabbing him by the hair before hitting him with multiple punches to the side of the head.

"I've never seen TJ this aggressive before. He's usually all about embracing positivity and trying to help people," Bob noted as TJ picked Colt up, and hit him with several forearms to the side of the head before grabbing him by the arm. The crowd continued booing as while wrenching Colt's arm, TJ hit him with several kicks to the chest before running to the ropes, hitting Colt with a Hotshot over the top rope. The crowd continued booing as TJ springboarded back into the ring, hitting a downed Colt with a Springboard Twisting Splash, and went for another pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.

Ref: 1…2..

"Bob, that was all an act. You can clearly tell that TJ is someone who just wants people to listen to him and do whatever he wants," Striker countered as TJ glared down at Colt, grabbing him by the hair, and hitting him with multiple crossface shots across the face before picking him back up, and hitting him with a Spinning Back Suplex. Colt attempted to make it to the ropes for some reprieve, but the crowd booed as TJ kicked the middle rope, sending it bouncing off of Colt's throat. Colt tried to get his breath back, but TJ responded with a Big Boot to the back of the head, sending Colt falling onto all fours. TJ ran the ropes again before hitting Colt with another Big Boot, this time to the side of the face.

"Well, that's a little judgmental of you, Striker. For all you know, TJ really could've wanted to help Colt, and he's trying to show him that he doesn't know everything," Bob countered as TJ grabbed Colt again, and attempted to hit him with another Snap Vertical Suplex, but the crowd cheered as Colt landed on his feet behind TJ, and hit him with a Pele Kick to the back of the head, sending TJ staggering into the corner. Colt stretched out his back again before running into the corner, attempting to hit TJ with a Running Corner Clothesline, but the crowd booed as TJ was able to catch him and drop him onto the middle turnbuckle with a Reverse STO. The crowd continued booing as TJ began hitting some hard stomps onto the small of Colt's back

"And…that includes trying to stomp the vertebrae out of his spine?" Kotoko asked as TJ backed away before hitting Colt with another hard kick right to the face. TJ backed away from his opponent, continuing to yell at Colt that this was all his fault and that Colt should've listened to him. Colt pulled himself back into the corner, but TJ immediately responded by hitting him in the back of the head with a Running Corner Forearm before hitting him with a German Suplex, bridging into a pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"Sometimes, the best lessons in life hurt the most, but they'll all be worth it when it makes you a better person," Bob recited, causing Striker and Kotoko to look at him with raised eyebrows as TJ stomped on Colt's back multiple times before locking him in a Camel Clutch in the middle of the ring. The crowd continued booing as TJ hit Colt in the face and the forehead with multiple Crossface shots, dazing him while TJ continued wrenching back on the Camel Clutch. Colt attempted to reach out for the ropes, but TJ grabbed one of his hands and started pulling back on his fingers with his free hand.

"…did you learn that from TJ, Bob?" Striker asked in a dead-panned manner as Colt screamed out in pain, but refused to give up as he freed his hand from TJ's grasp, and once again attempted to reach out for the ropes. However, TJ responded by letting go of the Camel Clutch, and quickly hitting Colt in the back with a Jumping Double Foot Stomp before putting the Camel Clutch back on. Colt continued telling the referee that he wasn't giving up before beginning to pick himself up, the crowd cheering as Colt was able to make it to his feet while TJ continued pulling back on his neck and back.

"Well, that doesn't matter now, because Colt showing off some impressive strength by lifting TJ off the ground while he's still on his back!" Kotoko exclaimed as Colt rammed TJ back first into the corner several times, breaking free from his grip. However, while Colt tried to regain his breath, the crowd booed as TJ kicked the back of his head with a Corner Big Boot, sending him staggering away from the corner. TJ then jumped back up to the top rope and waited for Colt to turn around, and when he did, TJ attempted to hit him with a Diving Missile Dropkick. However, the crowd cheered as Colt captured him in mid-air, and threw him across the ring with an Exploder Suplex.

"Colt is finally able to create some separation between him and TJ thanks to that Exploder Suplex!" Striker exclaimed as Colt fell on his ass again, holding his back in pain while TJ began pulling himself back to his feet. TJ walked over to Colt and picked him up, but the crowd cheered as Colt hit him with a Jawbreaker, sending him staggering away while holding his mouth. The crowd continued cheering as Colt ran the ropes and hit TJ with two Clotheslines, a Reverse Atomic Drop, a Running Neckbreaker, and another Exploder Suplex. Colt then kipped back up to his feet while TJ began crawling to the corner while Colt held his back in pain, gritting his teeth in pain.

"The pain in Colt's back is still very present, but he's so determined to try and beat some sense into TJ that he's put the pain in the back of his mind!" Kotoko exclaimed as Colt ran into the corner, hitting TJ with several Running Corner Clotheslines to the chest and neck. TJ then staggered into the corner, with Colt responding by knocking TJ back to the ground with a Backfist before hitting TJ in the chest with a Jumping Senton and going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

Colt cracked his back in pain before picking TJ up, and hitting him with multiple slaps to the side of the face, yelling in TJ's face that he didn't need him before sending him staggering away with a Discus Knife-Edge Chop to the chest.

"What a Chop to the chest! It was hard enough to knock the wind right out of TJ!" Bob exclaimed as Colt threw TJ overhead with a Teardrop Suplex, the crowd continuing to cheer as Colt began climbing back up to the top turnbuckle. When Colt finally made it to the top turnbuckle, TJ finally made it back to his feet and hit Colt in the side of the head with several Forearms. TJ then went back up to the top turnbuckle, hitting several more Forearms to the side of the head before grabbing both of his arms and attempting to hit him with a Butterfly Suplex from the top rope. However, the crowd cheered again as Colt was able to lift TJ over his head, and throw him down onto the canvas chest and face first.

"Colt once again showing off some impressive strength for someone of his size!" Striker exclaimed as Colt balanced himself on the top turnbuckle, and hit TJ with a Diving Knee Drop across the chest before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

The crowd booed as TJ was able to put his foot on the rope, breaking up the pinfall. Colt looked at TJ's foot on the rope in shock and annoyance before dragging him away from the ropes, and going into the corner.

"See that!? TJ was able to save himself from being pinned in this match thanks to a ropebreak! That's the type of thing that he can teach Colt!" Bob exclaimed as Colt waited for TJ to get back to his feet, and when he did, Colt attempted to hit him with the Beast Throw (Ilja Dragunov's Torpedo Moscow). However, TJ responded by hitting Colt with a Superkick in mid-air before quickly picking him back up and hitting him with the Reverse STO. The crowd continued booing as TJ stomped on the back of Colt's head before climbing back up to the top rope, telling the crowd that this was all Colt's fault while he was doing so. TJ then balanced himself on the top rope and hit Colt in the back with a Frog Splash, the crowd continuing to boo before turning him around and going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"Colt kicked out! A Frog Splash right onto his weakened back, and Colt was still able to kick out!" Striker exclaimed as TJ looked shocked as Colt tried to pull his chest off the ground. However, TJ grabbed Colt in a Cravate and hit him with several Knee Strikes to the face before attempting to hit him with the Divine Intervention (Brian Kendrick's Sliced Bread #2). Colt was able to respond by throwing TJ into the corner chest and face first while he was shaking his head, trying to get the cobwebs out of his head. TJ staggered out of the corner, and Colt responded with a Jumping Big Boot to the side of the head before hitting him with a German Suplex.

"Colt's back looks like its seconds away from collapsing in on itself, but he's still throwing TJ around with a tasty German Suplex!" Striker exclaimed as Colt attempted to pick TJ up and hit him with the Death Valley Driver, but TJ responded by raking Colt's eyes and attempting to hit him with an Inverted Powerslam. However, the crowd cheered as Colt was able to backflip out of the Inverted Powerslam attempt, run the ropes, and hit TJ with a Rope Rebound Lariat, turning him inside out. Colt then picked TJ up, attempting to hit him with a DDT, but TJ pushed him away, and attempted to hit him with a kick to the side of the head, which Colt ducked, and responded by hitting TJ in the side of the head with a Jumping Enziguri kick to the side of the head.

"Colt almost taking TJ's head off with that Enziguri to the head!" Bob exclaimed as Colt attempted to hit TJ with another Exploder Suplex, but TJ responded by hitting him with multiple Back Elbows to the side of the head before planting him with a Snap DDT and going for another pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

TJ punched the mat in frustration before attempting to lock him in the Euphoric Epiphany (Brian Kendrick's Captain's Hook), but Colt was able to counter by rolling him into a pinning situation.

Ref: 1…2…

"Colt was almost put in the same submission hold that TJ trapped him in a couple of weeks ago, but luckily, he was able to escape!" Kotoko exclaimed as TJ and Colt hit each other in the face with punches, sending each other staggering away. TJ and Colt then looked at each other with intense fury from the other side of the ring, with TJ yelling at Colt that they didn't need to do this, to which Colt responded by nodding and saying that he did. The crowd cheered as both men ran at each other, Colt dodging TJ's attempt at a Clothesline, rebounding the ropes, and hitting TJ to the back of the head with a Beast Throw (Ilja Dragunov's Torpedo Moscow) before going for the pinfall.

*Bell Rings*

"Here is your winner, Colt Grice!" Tony Chimel announced as Colt smiled while pulling himself back on his feet. While holding his back in pain, Colt raised his fist in the air and let out a battle cry. Colt then went into the corner, jumped up to the top turnbuckle, and began pounding on the turnbuckle while the crowd continued cheering and chanting for Colt. TJ rolled out of the ring, while holding the back of his head in pain and looking shocked at his loss while Colt continued celebrating his win with the crowd.

"Colt pulling off a major singles victory here tonight, and giving himself some big momentum heading to the 10-man Cruiserweight Gauntlet at StarShow!" Striker exclaimed as TJ walked over to his robe and mask, picking them up before glaring at Colt, telling him that this was far from over. Colt looked over at TJ and told him that if he wanted to keep coming at him, then he welcomed it and said that if TJ came at him, he was going to push him back and keep proving that he didn't need TJ's help.

"TJ almost getting his skull caved in hasn't calmed him down, and he's still telling Colt that they're not done," Kotoko noted as TJ shook his head in disappointment before walking to the back, where Colt shook his head in annoyance before shooting both his fists in the air. The crowd continued cheering and chanting for Colt as he told the fans that TJ was nothing but a roadblock in his career and that he was going over that roadblock one way or another. Colt then jumped out of the ring and continued his walk to the back while holding his own back, high-fiving the fans in the front row who had their hands out for one.

"Colt may come to regret those words, as TJ is not one known to give up!" Bob exclaimed as the camera panned away from the ring while Colt continued walking up to the back.

The camera focused on Brandish Myu's VIP Room, where Brandish was sitting on a massage chair with a glass of fruity wine in her hand. Marin Hollow, meanwhile, was going through his phone, checking to see how Brandish's social media accounts were growing.

"Mrs. Brandish, I know this may seem random, but I've been checking LWF's social media, and Ken Warren hasn't even attempted to answer your challenge," Marin explained as Brandish sighed before putting her glass down. Brandish looked up at the ceiling of her VIP Room before looking back at Marin, who was still refreshing Twitter to continue checking Brandish's growing follower count.

"I can't say I'm surprised, Marin. He's scared of going up against an actual internet star. Unlike Ken Warren, people actually know who I am and don't have to search through multiple pages of YouTube videos of some small-time wrestling shows to find out who I am. I'm an actual star, while Ken's just some wannabe star," Brandish exclaimed before stretching and grabbing a couple of grapes and eating them.

"So…is your challenge to Ken Warren still on the table?" Marin asked, looking up from his phone.

"Of course it is, Marin. While you or I may not find this incel to be any real challenge to my star power, the issue is that HE believes that he's on my level. That, in turn, makes others believe that he's on my level, or even worse, above my level. So my challenge is still on the table, and in fact, the next time you go to LWF: Reborn, I want you to make sure that he knows that he WILL accept my challenge," Brandish explained, with Marin continuing to look confused before putting his phone down for the first time in a long time before continuing to talk to Brandish while she leaned back in her chair.

"Like…threaten him?" Marin asked, a little nervous at the prospect of actually calling out someone, potentially to a fight.

"Yes, Marin. I want you to let Ken know that if he doesn't make a decision soon, I'm going to come to LWF myself and…persuade him to make the right decision," Brandish confirmed with a smirk. Marin nodded, but before he could reply, the door to the VIP Room opened, revealing BTWF newcomer Endrossi Jahad. Endrossi's head wasn't buried in her phone, and she was looking around the VIP Room, interested in what she was seeing before walking up towards Brandish and Marin.

"Oh, Mrs. Brandish, I almost forgot about our appointment with Endrossi!" Marin exclaimed before scrambling out of his chair, getting another bottle of wine and a glass, and handing it to Endrossi. Endrossi took the drink gratefully before sitting down next to a fascinated Brandish before taking a drink.

"So, Mrs. Brandish, you wanted to talk?" Endrossi asked as Marin and Brandish both nodded in interest. The camera then panned to a commercial break as the three began talking about their potential future.

*Commercial Break*

*Commercial Over*

The camera then panned back to the backstage area, where BTWF Tag Team Champions Pete Corvus and Kite were beating down on Boze and Shane. Corvus mounted Shane and hit him with multiple punches to the side of the head before Kite grabbed Boze, and threw him into the elevator door. Corvus then grabbed Shane, put him in a Powerbomb position, and Powerbombed him off the ledge and through several tables. Meanwhile, Kite slammed the side of Boze's head into the elevator multiple times before Tsubaki ran up to Corvus with a microphone, giving him the mic.

"This is what happens to anyone who disrespects the NWO! StarShow is going to be our show, and anyone who gets in our way is going to end up like these two losers! None of these teams are worthy of taking these titles, and none of them are ever going to take down the NWO!" Corvus yelled into the camera while Kite walked up to him and Tsubaki before slapping Corvus' shoulders multiple times in support.

"The Japanese Destroyers!? Fiore's Top Team!? Boze & Shane!? All of these motherfuckers deserve to be in the back of the line! Nobody's going to stop the NWO! We're going to keep the gold around our waists as long as we damn well please!" Corvus yelled out before Fiore's Top Team (Gray Fullbuster & Lyon Bastia) came walking up to them with smirks on their faces, applauding what they saw.

"Just when we thought this couldn't get any easier, you guys just took out one of the dark horse teams for this match," Gray explained while laughing and continuing to applaud. Corvus looked as though he was going to start a fight with Gray, but Kite pulled him back, telling him with his eyes to calm down and that they couldn't afford to get into more trouble.

"Well, Gray, let's not say that. Whether Boze and Shane are still in the match or not, it's not going to mean anything in the long-run. We're going to realize our destiny and become the BTWF Tag Team Champions. And if we have to rip the arm off the NWO monster to do so, then that's what we're going to do," Lyon responded before he and Gray stepped up to Corvus and Kite, who didn't back down, and glared back at them.

"You guys can say whatever you want, but we're about action. If what we did to Boze and Shane wasn't enough proof of that, then we can easily show you at StarShow when we send you guys back to the back of the line where you belong," Kite responded with Corvus nodding in response while Gray and Lyon looked at each other and chuckled before walking away, leaving Kite and Corvus to stew in their own fury as multiple medical personnel continued to check on Boze and Shane.

The camera panned back to the stage, the crowd beginning to boo as 'I Just Don't Care Anymore' by American Fangs played. Floch then walked out of the back with a black dress shirt over his back before squatting down. The crowd continued booing as Floch jumped back up to his feet, causing his black dress shirt to fly off his body, pointing both his fingers to the sky with pyro going off from the stage. Floch smirked at the jeering fans before strutting his way down the entranceway, telling the fans that this match was going to help him confirm everything he ever said about Connie.

"The following contest is a 30-minute Iron Man match! Introducing first, from Wall Rose on Paradis Island, Floch Forster!" Tony Chimel announced as Floch faked a couple of high-fives with fans, telling them that they helped create the façade that Connie created. Floch continued telling the camera that Connie's confidence was wavering, which is why he requested a match where it required potentially more than one pinfall to win. Floch then continued making his way to the ringside area where the crowd continued booing and chanting that Floch sucked as he stopped right in front of the ring.

"Floch has been saying since he came to the BTWF that Connie Springer has been faking his upbeat and excited personality and that he's going to prove it's all an act," Striker explained as Floch walked over to and up the steel steps before climbing back up to the top rope. The crowd continued booing as Floch raised both his pointer fingers to the sky again, smirking at the fan's negative response to him before jumping down to the canvas and walking towards the center of the ring.

"Floch has a God complex about him, thinking he knows everything about everyone, but Connie has the chance to prove him wrong tonight," Kotoko explained as Floch went to the center of the ring, slapped the center of the ring several times before raising both his pointer fingers up in the air. The crowd continued booing as Floch turned over to the stage and told Connie to come out so that he could show the fans the real him. After a moment of Floch egging him on, Enzo Amore's 'SAWFT as a Sin' played, the crowd cheering as Connie came running out of the back with a microphone, pointing to the cheering crowd before giving them a little dance. Connie then looked over at Floch, his eyebrows raised to accompany the smirk on his face, before bringing the microphone closer to his mouth.

"Floch, my man! I've been hearing you babble on and on and on and on backstage, and I got you confused for Paul Heyman for a second! Hell, I was half-expecting your dumb ass to bring out your client, Brock Lesnar, from the Great Beyond!" Connie exclaimed while doing a spot-on Paul Heyman impression, the crowd cheering and laughing while Floch rolled his eyes, telling Connie to shut up and get into the ring.

"Look, you wanna tell all my fans that this energy, this charisma, these looks, and this aura are all fake!? My man, I can smell the jealousy from all the way over here, and it smells like someone who spends all their free time on Reddit spouting out bullshit!" Connie continued exclaiming as he moonwalked his way to the ringside, with Floch continuing to try and yell at Connie to get into the ring, though his voice was being drowned out by the cheering crowd.

"But Floch, you gave me an idea! I think I'm going to expose you in the middle of the ring! Yeah! I'm going to remind everyone in this arena that you're just some poser, and I'm gonna be the man who springboards all the way to the top of the ladder!" Connie exclaimed as he dropped the microphone, and rolled into the ring from in between the middle and top ropes. Connie then kipped back up to his feet and began trash-talking in Floch's face, which Floch didn't back down from. While the referee was trying to separate the two, the crowd booed louder as Floch hit Connie with a kick right to the crown jewels, sending him falling right onto his knees.

"Floch getting the first shot before the match even started!" Bob exclaimed as the referee pushed Floch away before turning around and asking Connie if he wanted to continue. Connie, while still holding his aching crotch, nodded and told the referee and the fans that he was gonna kick the crap out of Floch. The referee looked back at Connie one more time before ringing the bell to start the match, and Floch immediately responded by grabbing a still-dazed Connie, hitting him with an Impaler DDT before going for the pinfall.

Floch Forster: 1

Connie Springer: 0

"Ladies and gentlemen, Floch Forster has won his first fall via pinfall!" Tony Chimel announced, the crowd booing loudly as Floch immediately grabbed Connie by the hair, threw him into the corner, and hit him with multiple punches to the side of the head. The crowd continued booing as Floch began choking Connie with his foot before the referee pulled him out of the corner, and threatened to disqualify him if he did that again. Floch blew the referee off before hitting Connie with several forearms to the side of the head, running the ropes, and hitting a Jumping Corner Forearms to the side of Connie's head.

"Floch won the first pinfall of the match before the first minute was up, and is continuing to dominate the loudmouthed Connie Springer in the corner!" Bob exclaimed as Floch threw Connie out of the corner with an Exploder Suplex. Connie pulled himself back up to his feet, and Floch responded by attempting to hit him with a Big Boot, but the crowd cheered as Connie dodged with the splits. The crowd continued cheering as Connie kipped back up to his feet, hitting Floch with several right-handed jabs before doing the splits once again, and sending Floch staggering into the corner with an Uppercut.

"Connie coming back with some fast hands, but his head's clearly not in it thanks to that Impaler DDT!" Striker exclaimed as Connie held his head in pain before running into the corner, hitting Floch with a Running Uppercut, and climbing up to the top turnbuckle. The crowd continued cheering as Connie hit Floch with several punches to the side of the head, but Floch responded by grabbing Connie's pants and attempting to hit him with a Powerbomb. However, the crowd continued cheering as Connie was able to counter the Powerbomb into a Sunset Flip pin.

Floch was able to kick out and attempted once again to hit Connie with a Big Boot, but he dodged and rolled Floch up with a School Boy pin.

"Connie trying to get another fall quick, and with almost five minutes on the board, it is the smartest strategy!" Kotoko exclaimed as Connie kicked Floch in the gut, attempting to him with a Jumping Stunner. However, Floch responded by pushing Connie into the corner chest first before attempting to hit him with a Back Suplex, but Connie flipped overhead and behind Floch. The crowd continued cheering as Connie hit Floch in the back of the head with a Running Dropkick with enough force that sent him falling through the middle ropes. Floch shook his head, and kicked the front of the commentary table in anger, allowing Connie to run the ropes, and hit Floch with a Suicide Dive that had enough force to send him flopping on top of the commentary table.

"And just as we hit the 5-minute mark, Connie sends himself and Floch flying with a Suicide Dive!" Striker exclaimed as Connie mounted the commentary table on top of Floch, and hit multiple punches and forearms to the side of the head before pushing Floch off the table. The crowd cheered as Connie did a small dance on the top of the commentary table before diving off the table, hitting Floch with a Diving Splash. Connie then picked Floch back up, and slammed his face into the top of the steel steps several times, causing him to stagger away while holding his face in pain.

"Connie using every single bit of the ringside area to his advantage, and it's definitely helped him gain control back over Floch!" Kotoko exclaimed as Connie picked Floch up, and clubbed him in the back several times before attempting to throw him back into the ring. However, the crowd booed as Floch countered the throw, sending Connie chest first into the steel portion of the ring apron, causing him to fall onto his knees while trying to regain his breath. The crowd continued booing as Floch hit Connie in the side of the head with a couple of boots before picking him back up and hitting him with a Back Suplex that sent his back and the back of his head crashing against the ring apron.

"Connie almost bounced off the ring apron thanks to that strong Suplex by Floch!" Bob exclaimed while wincing as Floch pushed Connie back into the ring, the crowd booing as Floch immediately slid back into the ring and hit Connie with several Elbow Drops across Connie's back. Floch stepped on Connie's back and posed on top, the crowd booing as Floch continued telling the crowd that he was nothing but a loser and that his false confidence was slowly leaving his body. Floch then picked Connie up and hit him with several Knife-Edge Chops to the chest before hitting him with a German Suplex. Floch then ran the ropes and hit a Running Bicycle Kick to the side of the head.

"Floch almost took Connie's head right off his body with that Bicycle Kick!" Bob exclaimed as Floch hit a Jumping Double Foot Stomp to Connie's back, causing him to roll out onto the apron. Floch chuckled at Connie's pained expression before attempting to pick Connie up, but the crowd cheered as Connie hit him with a Kick to the side of the head. However, before Connie could dive back into the ring, Floch kicked the top rope, causing him to dangle over the rope chest first, allowing Floch to climb up to the middle rope, and hit him with a Suplex from the apron and back into the ring. Floch playfully kicked Connie in the side of the head before throwing him into the corner, and hitting a Running Corner Enziguri to the back of Connie's head, sending him staggering out of the corner.

"We're 9 minutes into this match, and Floch isn't stressing it at all since he's already up by one point!" Striker exclaimed as Floch ran the ropes again, and hit Connie with a hard Running Forearm to the side of the head that sent him falling into the ropes, hit head draped over the middle rope. The crowd continued booing as Floch ran the ropes, and hit a Sliding Forearm to the back of Connie's head before jumping over the top rope, hitting him with a Running Knee Strike that was hard enough to send him away from the ropes, and vaulting over the top rope to hit him with a Slingshot Corkscrew Splash before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"Just as we hit the ten-minute mark, Floch almost made it 2-0 there thanks to that Splash from the apron!" Kotoko exclaimed as Floch ran the ropes, and hit a Jumping Senton onto Connie's chest before getting back up to his feet, and telling the crowd that this was the real Connie Springer; a broken-down man. The crowd continued booing as he picked Connie up, putting him on his knees, before hitting him with several Roundhouse Kicks to the chest. While Connie was stunned, Floch ran the ropes and hit a Running Seated Forearm to the face before going for another pin, hooking both of his legs back.

Ref: 1…2…

"Despite being ahead in this match, Floch wants to make a statement by getting some more falls on Connie, showing him that he's just that much better than him!" Striker exclaimed as Floch picked Connie back up, and hit him with several Knife-Edge Chops, but the crowd cheered as Connie blocked one of Floch's chops, and hit him with several forearms to the face, sending him into the ropes. Floch attempted to kick Connie away, but Connie had blocked his kick. However, the crowd booed as while still leaning against the ropes, Floch knocked Connie back down with an Enziguri.

"Floch once again able to stop Connie in his tracks, this time taking him down with a hard Enziguri to the side of the head!" Bob exclaimed as Floch knocked Connie back down with a Running STO. However, the crowd continued booing as Floch rolled back to his feet while maintaining his grip on Connie, hitting him with a Uranage.

Ref: 1…2…

"Connie isn't one to give up, but Floch is determined to put him through as much pain as possible!" Striker exclaimed as Floch grabbed Connie's arm, and began stomping on it, the crowd continuing to boo as Floch responded to their negative reaction by digging his heel into Connie's arm. Floch then got off of Connie's arm, folded his arm in half, and stomped on his elbow, causing Connie to almost jump back up to his feet in pain. Floch responded by grabbing Connie and throwing him into the steel ring post arm first, the crowd booing as Connie gritted his teeth in pain. Floch then walked out to the apron and started smashing Connie's arm into the steel ring post repeatedly.

"Floch going after the arm, which makes sense given that he likes to use that Scum of the Earth armbar!" Bob exclaimed as Floch jumped onto the middle rope, grabbed Connie's right arm while he was still in the corner, and pulled his arm over the ropes, stretching his arm. The referee pulled Floch away from the ropes, threatening to disqualify him if he kept this up, and Floch responded by blowing him off and kicking the side of Connie's arm. The crowd continued booing as Floch grabbed Connie by the hair, and hit him with a Neckbreaker that sent him back into the ring. Floch then grabbed Connie's arm and locked him in a Hammerlock while pushing Connie's face into the canvas.

"Floch doesn't think he's ready for the Scum of the Earth Armbar yet, but he's got that Hammerlock in tight!" Striker exclaimed as Connie shook his head when the referee asked him if he wanted to quit. Floch yelled in Connie's ear that he should quit, and show the fans that he's really nothing but a quitter. Connie responded by getting back up to his feet and hitting Floch with several Back Elbows to the side of the head, but Floch responded by throwing Connie into the corner, sending his right arm bouncing off the turnbuckles. The crowd continued booing as Floch grabbed both of Connie's arms and hit him with a Tiger Suplex before bridging into a pinfall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Connie Springer has earned his first fall via submission!" Tony Chimel announced as Floch looked at Connie in shock, who was laughing at him while holding up three fingers. Floch glared at the referee before getting back up to his feet, and getting right in Connie's face, the crowd cheering when Connie pushed Floch away. The crowd's cheers grew as Floch and Connie began exchanging punches with each other in the middle of the ring, not letting up as the brawled around the ring. The crowd somehow cheered even louder as Connie blocked a couple of Floch's punches attempts, and hit him with multiple headbutts to the side of the head.

"Just as we reach 15 minutes in this Iron Man match, Connie lights Floch up with some vicious headbutts, something we're not used to seeing from the usually jovial Connie!" Striker exclaimed as Connie hit Floch with a Knee Lift to the face, sending him staggering away. Connie then moonwalked back and gave an irate Floch a little dance, prompting Floch to run after him, but Connie ducked and ran the ropes to hit him with a Running Back Elbow, a Jumping Clothesline, a Dropkick, and a Headlock Driver into the Knee. Connie then ran up the turnbuckles, the crowd cheering as he hit Floch with a Twisting Crossbody from the top rope before rolling into a pinfall.

"Just a two count, but you can see that Connie's immediately going to his arm. He has to be careful about doing too many high-flying moves," Kotoko noted as Connie picked Floch up by the hair, and hit him with several punches to the side of the head before springboarding off of the middle rope, attempting to hit him with a Springboard Satellite DDT. However, Floch was able to catch him mid-dive and attempted to hit him with a Brainbuster, but Connie was able to slide out of the hold, attempting to hit him with a Reverse Frankensteiner, but Floch was able to keep himself on his feet and grab both of his legs. Floch then attempted to hit Connie with an Inverted Alabama Slam into the rope, but the crowd cheered as Connie was able to counter this by throwing Floch over the top rope and onto the floor with his legs.

"Connie throwing Floch out of the ring with his own leg strength! Now THAT is impressive!" Bob exclaimed as Connie got back up onto his feet, jumped back onto the ring apron, and springboarded off the middle rope, hitting a now-standing Floch with an Asai Moonsault. However, Connie wasn't done yet as he ran back up the steel steps, and jumped up onto the top rope, the crowd cheering as he hit Floch with a Diving Splash to the chest. Connie picked himself back up, grabbed Floch by the hair, and threw him back into the ring, the crowd continuing to cheer as Connie climbed back up to the top rope, waiting for Floch to get back up to his feet.

"Connie's been springing all around the ring, and he's not done yet!" Bob exclaimed as Connie attempted to hit another Diving Crossbody onto Floch, but the crowd booed as Floch countered with a Single Knee Gutbuster. Floch then grabbed Connie's right arm and hit him with a Double Knee Armbreaker before attempting to throw him back into the corner arm first. However, Connie was able to stop himself, and when Floch attempted to rush into the corner, Connie hit him with a Forearm strike to the chin. Connie then jumped up the middle rope, hitting Floch with a Diving Tornado Flatliner before going for another pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.

"Connie pulling out all the stops just before StarShow! Both he and Floch will be in the Cruiserweight Gauntlet at StarShow, and this match will be a major momentum booster for either one of these wrestlers!" Kotoko exclaimed as Connie picked Floch back up, attempting to hit him with the Eat Defeat, but Floch pushed him away and into the referee. While the stunned referee attempts to regain his bearings, Floch attempts to hit Connie with another low blow, but Connie blocks the kick and attempts to punch Floch in the side of the head. However, Floch threw Connie's throat into the top rope before grabbing Connie's right arm and hitting him with a Ripcord Lariat. Once he saw that the referee was turning back around, Floch quickly pinned Connie, hooking both of his legs back.

The crowd continued booing as Floch grabbed Connie and threw him into the steel ring post arm first, but he wasn't done, as Floch repeated this move multiple times before hitting him with a Butterfly Suplex.

"Floch cannot be happy here, as Connie's scored two straight pinfalls, and is ahead in this Iron Man match!" Striker exclaimed as Floch kept a hold of Connie's right arm, and repeatedly dropped elbows and knees onto the arm. The referee pushed Floch away before checking on Connie, who told the referee that he was fine despite holding onto his right arm for dear life. The crowd continued booing as an irate Floch picked Connie up, and hit him with a Powerbomb before putting his arm back out and hitting a Leg Drop onto the arm.

"Floch has the Scum of the Earth locked in! Connie has to make it to the ropes if he wants to make it out with two functioning arms!" Striker exclaimed as Floch was able to roll Connie back to the center of the ring, pulling the Scum of the Earth Armbar (Rolling Omoplata Armlock) back even further than he already was. After another minute, Connie finally tapped out, the crowd booing as Floch smirked and celebrated while keeping the Scum of the Earth Armbar (Rolling Omoplata Armlock).

*Bell Rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, with both Connie Springer and Floch Forster scoring three falls, this Iron Man match has been ruled a draw!" Tony Chimel announced, the crowd booing as Floch immediately rolled out of the ring, holding the side of his head in pain. Meanwhile, Connie dragged himself to the ropes, still holding his right arm while asking for a microphone. Tony Chimel offered him his microphone, the crowd cheering as Connie made his way back to his feet, holding the microphone with his left arm before walking to the center of the ring, causing Floch to turn around with a raised eyebrow.

"Nah, nah, it's not gonna end like that! Floch, you've been putting me through bullshit for the past two months, and I'm not gonna let things end like this!" Connie exclaimed, the crowd cheering him on while Floch laughed at him. The crowd chanted for Connie while Floch reminded him that his arm had been destroyed throughout the match, and told him that he'd be a sitting duck.

"Yeah, my right arm hurts like hell right now, but I can still use my left arm to knock your teeth down your throat! Now why don't you get your ass back in the ring, and I can kick your ass for an extra five minutes!" Connie exclaimed, the crowd cheering and chanting 'Five More Minutes!' at him and Floch. Floch began walking back to the ring, nodding at Connie's request, but when he jumped onto the apron, the crowd booed loudly as Floch wagged his finger at Connie, and jumped down from the apron, flipping Connie and the crowd off before walking back up the entranceway.

"Floch walking away from the challenge of five extra minutes, and you can't really blame him either, especially when he's got a chance to become the #1 contender for the BTWF Cruiserweight Championship at StarShow!" Bob exclaimed as Connie threw the microphone down in frustration. Floch smirked and chuckled at his reaction, turning to the fans and telling them that he was right all along about Connie and that he was just proving his point. Floch turned his attention back to Connie, telling him that they would see each other again at StarShow, and he'd humiliate him there too.

"Connie's going to remember this, Bob, and he's going to make sure Floch has a terrible time at StarShow!" Kotoko exclaimed as the camera panned away while Connie and Floch continued exchanging trash talk with each other.

The camera panned to the destroyed remnants of the Happy Place, with an unkempt and miserable Minatsuki Tamaki going through the damaged pieces of the table and the walls. Minatsuki then grabbed a broken picture frame, which featured her and all the friends she made in the Happy Place. Minatsuki gripped the frame of the picture with enough force to cause the picture to shake before she threw it against the wall in anger before running her hands through her hair. Out of the corner of her eye, Minatsuki noticed the camera, and crawled over to the camera, showing off the bags under her bloodshot eyes.

"Luna…Luna, you hurt me last week. This…this Happy Place…was really all I had. This place gave me something to look forward to, a place where I could calm myself and maintain my composure, and gave me a new lease on life. AND YOU DESTROYED IT!" Minatsuki screamed, throwing a couple of pieces of the broken desk into the last of the wall, breathing heavily while scratching her cheeks with her nails, drawing some blood.

"Your problems were with the Demon, not me! And you…you destroyed the last good thing in my life! I was fully prepared to have a fun match with you, Luna, but you drew first blood!" Minatsuki exclaimed before closing her eyes. While breathing in and out, the screen began fading in and out with the colors on the screen contorting to blood red before Minatsuki appeared as the Demon. Her face paint, this time, had touches of gold along the red, purple, and black, with the irises of her eyes being gold and black.

"At StarShow, Luna, I will take what you treasure the most, the BTWF Women's Championship and reduce you to what you were before you won that title; a pathetic woman burying her face in nothing but a puddle of tears and blood!" the Demon exclaimed in her distorted voice before headbutting the camera, causing the camera feed to cut before the camera panned back to the stage.

'The Ballad of Mona Lisa' played, the crowd booing as Lisa and Louise walked out of the back with confident smirks on their faces. Louise and Lisa then turned to face each other, shaking each other's hands before walking off the stage and down the entranceway, looking at the booing fans with looks of disgust and bemusement.

"The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall, and the winner of this match will be the final team in the Fatal-4-Way BTWF Women's Tag Team #1 contenders match at StarShow! Introducing first, the team of Lisa Simpson and Louise Belcher!" Tony Chimel announced, the crowd continuing to boo as Lisa and Louise looked at the camera, and told the fans at home that they were not only heading to StarShow, but they were going to become the BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions.

"Lisa and Louise certainly not lacking in confidence, though it's that overconfidence that drives people like the BTWF fans up a wall," Striker explained as Louise mentioned that, unlike Madison and Kim, they were actual friends, and also told Madison that she and Kim were never going to be together, as a tag team or a couple, that she might as well give up, causing Lisa to laugh at Louise's insults.

"I don't even know why they're bringing up Madison and Kim, they're not involved in this and they should focus on their opponents," Kotoko complained as Louise and Lisa rolled into the ring from underneath the bottom rope at the same time, and jumped back up to their feet before walking over to the ropes, and shooting their right fists up in the air. The crowd continued booing as Lisa and Louise once again shook hands before walking over to the corner and going over the battle strategy for this upcoming match.

"Well, if I were able to get under the skin of two great women's wrestlers like Kim and Madison, I'd want to make sure everyone knew it too," Bob countered as Oney Lorcan's 'Combative' theme song played, the crowd cheering as Maka and Winry coming out of the back. Maka and Winry looked at each other and high-fived each other before Maka raised her pointer finger up at the same time Winry raised two fingers up. Maka and Winry then stomped down the entranceway, the crowd cheering and chanting for the two, while Lisa and Louise looked unimpressed in the ring.

"And their opponents, the team of Maka Albarn and Winry Rockbell!" Tony Chimel announced, the crowd continuing to cheer as Maka and Winry gave some fans in the front row high-fives. When Maka and Winry made it to the ringside area, the two fist-bumped each other before sliding into the ring from underneath the bottom rope. The crowd continued cheering as Maka raised her pointer finger back up while Winry raised her two fingers back up as they walked over to the ropes, and bounced their fingers off the top rope.

"Maka and Winry have been here since we re-introduced the BTWF Women's Tag Team Championships, and they have made it clear that their goal is to become the new BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions!" Striker exclaimed as Maka and Winry went to their own corner, exchanging some trash talk with their opponents before the referee made sure that neither team attacked the other before the match started. The referee made sure that both teams were ready before telling the timekeeper to ring the bell, and once it did, Louise and Maka were chosen as the legal women for their respective teams.

"Let's see if your daughter can get a StarShow moment like you've had in your career, Bob," Striker explained as Maka and Louise locked up in the middle of the ring, with Maka being able to push Louise into the ropes, the crowd cheering as Maka flexed her right arm, and pointed to the muscle that presented itself. Louise looked unimpressed as she ran at Maka, attempting to lock up with her again, but the crowd cheered once again as Maka took Louise down with a Drop Toe Hold, grabbed her arm, and slapped the back of her head playfully, much to the crowd's delight.

"Maka disrespecting Louise like that isn't going to help her. Louise is a firecracker when she's upset," Bob countered as Louise got back up to her feet, escaped Maka's grip, and wrenched on Maka's arm, the crowd booing as Louise pushed her shoulder into Maka's a couple of times before attempting to throw her down with a Hip Toss, but Maka landed on her feet, threw Louise overhead with a Hip Toss of her own, and locked in another Armbar on Louise. The crowd continued cheering as Maka stomped on Louise's back a couple of times, but Louise was able to roll back up to her feet, and hit Maka in the side of the head with a couple of headbutts, stunning her enough for Louise to push Maka in the corner, and stomp on her multiple times in the corner.

"Louise showing some of her own striking prowess, sending Maka's brain rattling with some hard headbutts!" Striker exclaimed as Louise tagged Lisa into the match, the crowd booing as Louise and Lisa stomped and pounded on Maka in the corner before Irish whipped her out of the corner and sent her rebounding off the ropes. However, the crowd cheered as Maka vaulted over Louise and Lisa's attempt at a Double Clothesline, springboarded off the middle rope, and hit both Lisa and Louise with a Springboard Crossbody. The crowd continued cheering as Maka threw Louise out of the ring, picked Lisa back up, and hit her with several forearms to the sides of the face before hitting her with a Knife-Edge Chop hard enough to send Lisa to her knees.

"GÜNTER would be proud of that chop, as it sent Lisa off her feet!" Kotoko exclaimed while wincing as Maka grabbed Lisa by the hair, and hit her with several clubs to the back before tagging Winry into the match. Maka and Winry hit Lisa with several chops to the chest before throwing her into the ropes. Maka knocked Lisa down with a Drop Toe Hold before Winry hit Lisa with a Knee Drop to the forehead, Maka hit Lisa with a Jumping Double Foot Stomp to the chest, and Winry ran the ropes to hit Lisa down with a Sliding Seated Clothesline before going for the pin.

"Some excellent tag team cohesion on display here by Maka and Winry!" Kotoko exclaimed as Winry picked Lisa up and threw her into the corner before running the ropes, and hitting Lisa with a Running Corner Knee Strike. However, when Winry attempted to run the ropes again, Louise tripped her up from the outside, the crowd booing as Winry responded by kicking Louise away. However, this distraction allowed Lisa to hit Winry with a Running Knee Strike of her own to the middle of Winry's back before rolling her up with a School Girl.

"Lisa almost stole the pin there! Man, if Winry wasn't motivated before, she's definitely motivated now!" Striker exclaimed as Winry and Lisa exchanged punches with each other in the middle of the ring before Lisa attempted to poke her in the eye, but Winry grabbed Lisa's arm, wrung it, and hit Lisa in the face with an Arm Wringer Overhead Kick. Winry then picked Lisa up and hit her with a Snap Vertical Suplex before tagging Maka back into the match, with Winry rolling back up to her feet while keeping Lisa in a Suplex position. Maka slid down on her back, and lifted up her knees, allowing Winry to hit Lisa with a Gourdbuster that sent Lisa's gut bouncing off of Maka's knees.

"Louise may have distracted Winry briefly, but she and Maka have come back in this match in a big way!" Striker exclaimed as Lisa attempted to stagger away from Maka, but Maka responded by hitting her with a Palm Strike to the side of the face and knocking Louise back off the apron with a Running Big Boot. Lisa attempted to get the advantage by clubbing Maka in the back several times before attempting to hit her with a Neckbreaker. However, Maka rolled out of it and hit Lisa with her own Neckbreaker before hitting a Jumping Insane Elbow Drop onto Lisa's chest and going for the pinfall.

Maka picked Lisa up and hit her with several Knife-Edge Chops in the corner before tagging Winry back in the match before the two ran the ropes, and hit a Double Running Corner Knee Strike to the sides of Lisa's face.

"Louise is planning something on the floor, I just know it," Bob explained as Maka and Winry threw Lisa down with a Double Snapmare before running the ropes. However, the crowd booed as Louise once again tripped Winry up, and pulled her out of the ring before throwing her face first into the commentary table. This distracted Maka enough for Lisa to drop her with a Running One-Handed Bulldog, the crowd continuing to boo as Louise picked Winry up in an Electric Chair position. This allowed Lisa to run the ropes, and hit Winry with a Suicide Dive Doomsday Device along with Louise, sending Winry crashing onto the floor.

"See!? I told you! Louise has this in the bag!" Bob exclaimed as Louise and Lisa high-fived each other on the outside, but the crowd cheered as Maka ran the ropes, and vaulted over the top rope, attempting to knock both women down with a Vaulting Somersault Senton. However, she only managed to knock Louise down, the crowd booing as Lisa grabbed Maka by the hair, and slammed her back first into the steel ring apron. The crowd continued booing as Lisa rained down punches on Maka, sending her falling into a seated position in front of the steel ring apron. Lisa backed away to the front of the commentary table before hitting Maka with a Running Cannonball Senton, sending the back of her head bouncing off the steel.

"I have to admit, Bob, I didn't expect them to use the outside of the ring to their advantage like this," Kotoko reluctantly admitted as Lisa picked Winry up, and hit her with a couple of European Uppercuts to the chin, but Winry responded with punches to the sides of Lisa's head. However, before Winry could do anything, Louise took her down from behind with a Chop Block to the right knee. The crowd continued booing as Louise and Lisa grabbed Maka and hit her with a Double Gourdbuster that sent her crashing against Winry's chest. The two weren't done, as they picked Maka up, keeping her in a Suplex position, before slamming her on the steel ring apron with a Double Falcon Arrow.

Ref: …4…5…6

"I have to admire the strategy of taking not only the legal woman in Winry down, but the non-legal woman in Maka down as well. Though, I doubt Louise came up with this all by herself," Striker responded as Louise and Lisa sat on the apron, and put their arms behind each other's necks, the crowd booing as Louise called them the best and that StarShow was going to be the start of their journey towards the BTWF Women's Tag Team Championships. Louise and Lisa then got off the apron, grabbed Maka by the hair, and threw her hard into the side of the steel steps before picking Winry back up and taking turns slamming her head on the top of the commentary table.

Ref: …7…8

Louise and Lisa immediately threw Winry back into the ring, with Louise getting back on the apron, allowing Lisa to tag her back into the match, and allowing the two to hit Winry with a Double Back Suplex before Louise went for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

"Well, that's beside the point, Striker, since Louise and Lisa are such a good team together that they share one brain! Therefore, Lisa's ideas are Louise's, and Louise's are Lisa's," Bob explained, much to the confusion of Striker and Kotoko. Louise grabbed Winry by the hair and hit her with multiple punches to the side of the head before picking her up and hitting her with a Knee Lift to the side of the head. Louise then hit Winry with a Neckbreaker before hitting her with a Jumping Senton to the chest. The crowd continued booing as Louise picked Winry back up and hit her with several punches to the gut before pushing her back into the corner. Louise ran into the corner and hit her with a Running Back Elbow to the side of the head before tagging Lisa back into the match.

"Louise almost knocked Winry's tooth out with that Back Elbow, and now she and Lisa have something else planned!" Kotoko exclaimed as Louise threw Winry down with a Snapmare, hit her with a kick to the back, and allowed Lisa to hit Winry with a Neck Snap. The crowd continued booing as Lisa stomped on Winry's chest multiple times before running the ropes and hitting a Jumping Stomp to the top of her head. Lisa picked Winry back up and hit her with multiple forearms to the side of the head before running the ropes and hitting Winry in the chest with a Rolling Dropkick to the chest before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

"Lisa is known for her impressive intellect, but she's also just as athletic as she is smart!" Striker exclaimed as Lisa threw Winry into the ropes, and hit her with multiple stomps to the chest, sending Winry falling to a seated position in front of the bottom rope. Lisa then ran the ropes and hit Winry with a Running Knee Strike to the face before Lisa choked Winry by pressing her knee against her throat. The referee pulled Lisa away from Winry, and while the referee was distracted, Louise kicked Winry in the back of the head, the crowd booing louder as Winry staggered away from the ropes.

"Louise is just as smart, Striker! Louise took advantage of the referee being out of position to kick Winry like her head was a soccer ball!" Bob exclaimed as the crowd continued booing while Lisa grabbed Winry, and hit her with a Snap DDT before tagging Louise back into the match. The crowd continued booing as Louise jumped up to the top rope and hit Winry with a Diving Elbow Drop to the back before turning her around, and going for the pinfall while hooking both of her legs back.

Ref: 1…2..

Louise pounded the mat in annoyance before mounting Winry, and hitting her with multiple punches to the side of the head before picking Winry back up, tagging Lisa back into the match, and hitting Winry with a Jawbreaker. While Winry was staggering, Lisa hit Winry in the side of the head with a Spinning Back Elbow, with Louise knocking Winry back down with an Enziguri before Lisa ran the ropes, and hit Running Knee Strike to the side of the head.

"If Lisa and Louise can keep up the quick tags and quicker moves, they'll punch their ticket to StarShow in no time!" Kotoko exclaimed as Lisa waited for Winry to get back up to her feet, the crowd booing as she sent Winry crashing into her corner with a Rolling Back Elbow before tagging Louise back into the match. The crowd continued booing as Lisa and Louise hit a Double Gutbuster before Louise ran the ropes, and hit Winry with a Running Shooting Star Press before Lisa immediately hit Winry with a Diving Moonsault. Lisa then put Winry in a seated position, and ran the ropes, hitting Winry with a Double Penalty Kick before Louise want for another pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"Lisa and Louise's tag team maneuvers are certainly impressive, but Winry's resiliency is impressive. Though her kickouts are getting weaker and weaker, she's still using what strength she can to make sure she doesn't stay down!" Striker exclaimed as Louise grabbed Winry's arms, and locked her in a Seated Full Nelson, the crowd booing as Louise rammed her knee into Winry's back multiple times while continuing to apply the Full Nelson. The crowd cheered and chanted for Winry as she refused to give up, and attempted to get back on her feet, which Louise responded to by hitting multiple knee strikes to the chest before locking her back in the Full Nelson.

"Louise may not be the strongest woman in the BTWF roster, but she's putting all her power into that Full Nelson!" Kotoko exclaimed as Winry once again got back up to her feet, the crowd cheering as she went into the corner, and pushed her legs off the middle turnbuckle, pushing both her and Louise down, putting her on top of Louise in a pinfall scenario.

Ref: 1…2…

Louise let go of Winry, and with both women back up, the two began exchanging forearms with each other, the crowd cheering and booing accordingly. Louise pushed one of Winry's forearms away and attempted to hit her with a Discus Forearm of her own, but the crowd cheered as Winry knocked Louise down with a Headbutt to the face, sending both women down.

"Winry is finally able to create some separation between her and Louise! Can she make it to Maka before Louise can make it to Lisa!?" Striker exclaimed as Winry and Louise started crawling to their respective partners, with the crowd cheering and chanting for Winry and Maka. Louise was able to roll to the corner and tag Lisa into the match, the crowd booing as Lisa ran into the ring, and grabbed Winry's leg. Lisa attempted to pull her back, but the crowd continued cheering as Winry kipped back up to her free leg and knocked Lisa down with an Enziguri. This allowed Winry to jump into the corner, and finally tag Maka back into the match, the crowd exploding into cheers as Maka climbed back up to the top rope, and hit Lisa with a Diving Forearm Smash to the side of the head.

"Maka finally getting back into the ring, almost knocking Lisa's head off with that Diving Forearm!" Bob exclaimed as Maka immediately knocked Louise off the ring with a Running Forearm Strike. Lisa staggered back to her feet, and Maka responded by hitting Lisa with two Clotheslines, an Axe Kick, and a Flying Headscissors, sending Lisa crashing into the corner by sending her face crashing into the middle turnbuckle. Maka ran into the corner and hit a Running Double Corner Knee Strike to the back of Lisa's head before seating her in the middle turnbuckle. The crowd continued cheering as Maka ran the ropes, and hit a Sliding German Suplex before climbing back onto the apron, hitting Lisa with a Springboard Swanton Bomb, and going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"Lisa barely kicking out there, and you have to thank the support Louise is giving her from the apron!" Bob exclaimed, leaving Striker and Kotoko dumbfounded before Maka picked Lisa up, and mockingly patted her cheek before attempting to hit Lisa with a Spinning Backfist. However, Lisa ducked, hit Maka with a Jawbreaker, and ran the ropes to hit her with a Running Discus Forearm, sending Maka staggering into the ropes. The crowd continued booing as Louise grabbed Maka in a Cravate position, but the crowd cheered as Maka pushed Louise into the steel ring post, sending her crashing into its chest first. However, Lisa responded by grabbing Maka and rolling her up with a School Girl.

Ref: 1…2…

"Lisa almost stole the pin there! But Maka barely kicked out and is still fighting!" Striker exclaimed as Maka attempted to hit Lisa with a Forearm Strike, but Lisa dodged and hit Maka in the side of the head with a Superkick before knocking her back down with an Enziguri. The crowd continued booing as Lisa picked Maka up and hit her with a Rolling Death Valley Driver, but when she attempted to hit Winry with a Forearm to knock her off. However, Winry kicked Lisa's arm away, causing her to stagger away into the corner, allowing Maka to kick Lisa's leg several times before grabbing her legs, and putting her in the Soul Snapper (Bridging Cross-Legged Boston Crab).

"Maka's got Lisa in the Soul Snapper! Louise is still trying to get her bearings back on the outside! This could be the end!" Striker exclaimed as Lisa attempted to pull herself to the center, reaching for the ropes. However, the crowd continued cheering as Maka pulled her back to the center of the ring, and pulled back even further on the Soul Snapper (Bridging Cross-Legged Boston Crab). However, Louise began climbing back up to the top rope, the crowd booing as Louise jumped up to the top rope, and hit a Louise Splash (D-Lo Brown's Lo Down Frog Splash) onto Maka, the crowd booing as she put Lisa on top of Maka, telling the referee to count the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

The crowd cheered as Winry climbed back up to the top turnbuckle, and hit a Diving Double Foot Stomp onto Lisa's back. When Louise attempted to take Winry out, Winry ducked, pushed her onto the apron, and knocked her off the apron with a Springboard Triangle Forearm to the side of the head.

"Winry taking Louise back down with that Springboard Forearm, and it doesn't look like she's done yet!" Kotoko exclaimed as Winry climbed back up to the top rope, and hit a dazed Louise with a Diving Crossbody to the outside. Meanwhile, Maka and Lisa pulled themselves up to their knees and started exchanging punches with each other, the crowd cheering and booing accordingly. However, while they were exchanging strikes with each other, Lisa and Maka began standing up and began having a slugfest in the middle of the ring before Maka dodged one of the punches, and knocked Lisa back down with the Backfist.

"A jaw-shattering Backfist by Maka! This could be all she wrote!" Striker exclaimed as Maka began climbing back up to the top turnbuckle, and while pointing to the cheering crowd, hit Lisa with the Soul Drain (Kairi Sane Elbow Drop) before going for the pinfall.

*Bell Rings*

"Here are your winners, the team of Maka Albarn and Winry Rockbell!" Tony Chimel announced, the crowd continuing to cheer as Maka raised her fist in the air, patting her elbow pad before Winry rolled back into the ring from underneath the bottom rope. Winry then jumped back to her feet, and hugged Maka in the middle of the ring, the two looking at the StarShow sign above the commentary table. Maka told Winry that they were going to become champions, and their road to the belts starts at StarShow, to which Winry agreed with a nod and high-fived her tag team partner.

"Maka and Winry are the last team that have qualified for the Women's Tag Team Fatal-4-Way match!" Striker exclaimed as the crowd continued cheering while Maka and Winry jumped up to opposite corners and continued posing. Meanwhile, Louise rolled Lisa out of the ring while holding the side of her head in pain, but the crowd cheered as Madison ran out of the back and knocked them both down with a Clothesline to the back of the head. The crowd continued cheering as Madison mounted Louise, and began hitting her with multiple punches to the side of the head.

"Winry and Maka may be celebrating their Road to StarShow, but Madison looks to add injury to insult after all the verbal abuse she and Lisa have been putting her through!" Kotoko exclaimed as Lisa attempted to grab Madison and pull her off of Louise, but Madison responded by tackling Lisa down and hitting her with multiple punches to the side of the head. Kim then ran over to the ringside area, pulling Madison off of Louise and Lisa, the crowd cheering as Lisa ran to check on Louise, picking her up and glaring at Madison, who was being pulled up the entrance ramp by Kim.

"Interesting to see Kim pulling Madison away from Lisa and Louise. We'll see where this goes, but for right now, Maka and Winry are going to StarShow, and have the potential to earn a match for the BTWF Women's Tag Team Championships!" Bob exclaimed as in the ring, Maka and Winry hugged each other while continuing to celebrate with the fans. The camera panned to the backstage area while Maka and Winry rolled out of the ring to high-five the cheering fans on the outside.

The camera then focused on the backstage area, where the Japanese Destroyers (Tanjiro Kamado & Ganta Igarashi) were standing next to Scott Stanford in the backstage interview area, looking annoyed and concerned.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after what we saw earlier last night, it has been confirmed by Overhaul that Boze and Shane will not be able to compete in the Fatal-4-Way match for the BTWF Tag Team Championships at StarShow. The match will now be a triple threat match between you, the NWO, and Fiore's Top Team," Scott explained before putting the microphone in front of Tanjiro and Ganta's mouths.

"I can't say I'm surprised. The NWO have been scared for the past couple of months about losing their titles. I mean, for God's sake, look at what they did to Midoriya. Quite frankly, it's pretty pathetic," Tanjiro responded while Ganta nodded, bouncing up and down before putting both his hands over Tanjiro's shoulders.

"It sucks for Boze and Shane, and we wish them a speedy recovery and all that, but we're still going to win those BTWF Tag Team Championships, even if we have to pry it from the NWO's cold, dead hands," Ganta continued with Scott pulling the microphone back before asking another question.

"Corvus, Kite, and Tsubaki have been banned from the arena by Sunny Bridges during the previous match, so we don't have to worry about the NWO breaking up this interview, thankfully. Back to our interview, what about Fiore's Top Team? You guys do have a history together," Scott pointed out. Ganta and Tanjiro looked at each other before smirking and nodding.

"We're not worried about them. We've beaten them before multiple times, and that's not going to change at StarShow," Tanjiro responded, but they immediately turned away from Scott when Fiore's Top Team (Gray Fullbuster & Lyon Bastia) came strutting up to them with cocky smirks on their faces. Ganta attempted to walk up to them, but Tanjiro put his arm in front of him to keep him at his side.

"You guys are out here talking about the past like it's gonna matter at StarShow!" Gray exclaimed, looking as though he was going to attack Tanjiro and/or Ganta, but Lyon pulled him back, whispering something into his ear. Gray sighed before backing off, nodding before Lyon took over the talk.

"Yeah, you guys beat us a couple of times, but we've beaten you before too. And StarShow is when the BTWF Tag Team Championships are on the line, the past is going to stay in the past, and the future is going to consist of us being the BTWF Tag Team Champions," Lyon explained, giving Gray a fist-bump before Tanjiro and Ganta looked at each other and shook their heads with smiles on their faces before both men stepped up to Fiore's Top Team. The two stared at each other intently for a moment before Ganta patted Lyon on the head.

"You keep talking all that shit, and we're going to embarrass you like we did in that 2/3 falls tag match. By the end of StarShow, we're going to become the tag team champions," Ganta explained before he and Tanjiro left the backstage interview area. Gray once again attempted to go after the Japanese Destroyers, but Lyon once again pulled him back, telling him that they would do their talking at StarShow. The camera then panned to a commercial break as Lyon pushed the microphone back in Scott's chest before he walked away along with Gray.

*Commercial Break*

*Commercial Over*

The camera panned back to the backstage interview area, where BTWF World Heavyweight Champion Katsuki Bakugo was standing next to Joe Dombrowski. Bakugo was smirking while patting the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship that was slung over his shoulder.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the BTWF World Heavyweight Champion, Katsuki Bakugo, who will not only be going one-on-one in our main event with Bickslow after what happened last week in our Falls Count Anywhere BTWF World Heavyweight Championship main event but will be going up against your former friend, Izuku Midoriya, in the main event of StarShow night 2. I wanted to get your thoughts heading into your two big matches tonight," Dombrowski explained. Bakugo rolled his eyes before grabbing the microphone out of Dombrowski's hand, putting him in a playful Side Headlock, and looking right into the camera.

"Listen, Extra, my match tonight is just another match to me. I've kicked Bickslow's ass before, and I plan on using this match just to show Deku what he's going to be in for at StarShow. But I'm going great, personally. These past few weeks, I've messed with Midoriya mentally to the point where he got suspended, I retired that fossil Gourry, and I beat the living crap out of Zancrow to solidify just how much of a fluke Trouble in Tokyo was!" Bakugo exclaimed with a smile on his face, letting go of Dombrowski to pat the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship. Bakugo then pushed the microphone back in Dombrowski's chest, motioning for him to continue the interview.

"Well, Bakugo, speaking of your title match against Midoriya, you're 2 for 2 against Midoriya in title matches-!" Dombrowski attempted to continue after brushing himself off, but Bakugo interrupted by once again grabbing the microphone.

"Damn right, Extra! Deku hasn't beaten me when it's counted. And at StarShow, it's not going to be any different! If I have to, I'm going to beat the little shit within an inch of his life, and all that's gonna be left of him by the end of the show is going to be a puddle of blood, piss, and shit!" Bakugo exclaimed while laughing at the thought of the beating he was going to give Midoriya, but his laughter stopped when Dombrowski grabbed the microphone and leaned it closer to his mouth.

"Actually, what I was going to say was that you may be undefeated against Midoriya, but in your first match together he lost by technical submission, and in the second match together, you used an old Eddie Guerrero trick to secure the victory. What makes you think this third time won't be the charm?" Dombrowski asked. Bakugo looked at Dombrowski with his eyes bugged out, but his eyes quickly slit into a glare before dropping his BTWF World Heavyweight Championship onto the floor. Before Dombrowski could react, Bakugo grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and threw him into the steel fencing behind the backstage area.

"The fuck is that supposed to mean, Extra!? You think I can't beat Deku!? I don't give a shit that he did win the Battle Riot, and I sure as hell don't give a shit that he's the AVW Champion either! I am better than Deku and I've always been better than Deku! At StarShow, I'm going to prove once and for all that Deku isn't in my league!" Bakugo yelled in Dombrowski's ear before pushing him down to the floor, grabbing his BTWF World Heavyweight Championship off of the floor, and stomping away while Dombrowski scrambled back to his feet.

The camera panned back to the stage, the crowd booing as 'Don't Stop' by InnerPartySystem played. The camera then panned to the side, revealing the white limousine that signaled the arrival of the Conglomerate, the crowd continuing to boo as the limo parked to the side of the stage, the driver walking out of the driver's side door. The driver then headed to the back, and opened the last door at the back of the limousine, revealing the Conglomerate (Lucy Heartfilia, Tohru Kobayashi, Liz & Patty Thompson).

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall, where the winner of this match will determine the stipulation of the Conglomerate vs. Team RWBY match at StarShow! Introducing first, representing the Conglomerate and accompanied to the ring by Tohru Kobayashi, Liz & Patty Thompson, now residing in West Palm Beach, Florida, Lucy Heartfilia!" Tony Chimel announced as Lucy and the rest of the Conglomerate pulled themselves up to the stage. Lucy outstretched her arms with her hands open, causing golden pyro to shoot from the ceiling, with the rest of the Conglomerate posing along with her.

"Lucy has been obsessed with taking down Team RWBY for months ever since Yang Xiao Long refused to join the Conglomerate! Tonight, if she wins, she gets to pick the stipulation for StarShow, and you know she's going to pick the most humiliating and punishing stipulation!" Striker exclaimed as Lucy led the rest of the Conglomerate down the entrance ramp, Patty glaring at some fans chanting 'Lucy's a Bitch!' at her leader. Patty attempted to dive into the crowd at the fans, but her older sister, Liz, pulled her away, telling her to focus on the match and the plan that Lucy came up with. Patty nodded but shot one last nasty glare at the fans before she and her sister caught up with Tohru and Lucy.

"Lucy, like she has said before, is not the type of woman that accepts 'no' as an answer. When Yang told Lucy 'No', they essentially made an enemy for life out of Lucy!" Bob exclaimed as Lucy stopped at the ringside area, looked back at her Conglomerate, and high-fived all three of them before walking over to the steel steps. The crowd continued booing as Lucy walked up the steel steps, and jumped up to the top turnbuckle before outstretching both her arms while opening her hands.

"Lucy basking in the negative reaction of the audience, almost as if the boos are feeding her ego and inflating it even more," Kotoko explained as Lucy jumped off the top rope, and walked over to the center of the ring. Lucy looked up into the sky while outstretching her arms again, causing more golden pyro to rain down from the ceiling. The rest of the Conglomerate applauded on the outside before Lucy walked to the corner, laying down on the top turnbuckle while waiting for her opponent. A moment later, 'Can You Feel My Heart' by Bring Me The Horizon played, the crowd exploding into cheers as Blake cartwheeled and backflipped out of the back, and landed right at the center of the stage. Ruby, Yang, and Weiss followed Blake as she turned around, looking at the ring with a determined look on her face before giving her teammates, friends, and girlfriend a fist-bump before making her way down the entranceway.

"And her opponent, representing Team RWBY and accompanied to the ring by Ruby Rose, Yang Xiao Long, and Weiss Schnee, from Menagerie, Remnant, Blake Belladonna!" Tony Chimel announced, the crowd continuing to cheer as Blake gave several fans high-fives while Yang patted Blake on the shoulders, and gave her a supportive peck on the cheek. Blake smiled at her girlfriend and kissed her back before continuing down the entranceway while Ruby and Weiss followed them, high-fiving fans behind Blake. Lucy yelled at Yang, calling her a coward for sending her girlfriend to fight her battles for her, and Yang responds by calling Lucy a bitch and saying that Blake is going to kick her ass.

"Blake has been considered one of the more underrated members of Team RWBY, and this match can remind the fans of how talented Blake is," Striker explained as Blake jumped onto the ring apron while Yang applauded her. Blake then jumped up to the top rope and backflipped into the center of the ring, the crowd continuing to cheer as Lucy continued talking trash, saying that she wasn't that impressed and that it wasn't going to help her win. Ruby, Weiss, and Yang surrounded one part of the ring, making sure that the Conglomerate stayed on their side while Blake jumped up to the top turnbuckle, and pointed at the cheering fans with an appreciative smile on her face.

"Blake is one of the most athletic members of the BTWF Women's Division, but Lucy is a technical wizard and a former BTWF Women's Champion. It's athleticism vs. experience, let's see who wins!" Bob exclaimed as Blake jumped down to the center of the ring and told Lucy to meet her there. Lucy looked annoyed but walked to the center of the ring, but once again told Yang that she was a loser for having Blake fight her. The referee, after checking with the wrestlers, told the timekeeper to ring the bell, starting the match, which prompted both Lucy and Blake to immediately exchange punches with each other.

"The match just started, and both Blake and Lucy are throwing bombs at each other!" Kotoko exclaimed as Blake blocked a punch by Lucy, the crowd continuing to cheer as Blake stunned Lucy with a Back Elbow to the side of the head. Blake then ran the ropes, but Lucy ducked and attempted to hit Blake with a Clothesline. However, Blake rolled underneath the Clothesline attempt and hit a Backflip Handstand Headscissors Takedown onto Lucy. Lucy looked dazed as Blake kipped back up to her feet, and hit her with a Dropkick to the side of the head that sent Lucy staggering into the corner. Blake then kipped back up to her feet and attempted to hit Lucy with a Running Corner Uppercut, but Lucy responded by rolling out of the corner, sending Blake crashing against the corner. Lucy took advantage of this by grabbing Blake by the hair and hitting her with multiple punches to the side of the head before switching to Forearm strikes.

"Lucy keeping Blake in the corner, hitting her with some hard strikes, which is the best thing to do if Lucy wants to keep her advantage in this match!" Striker exclaimed as Lucy Irish whipped Blake into another corner, but the crowd cheered as Blake was able to jump up to the middle rope, and when Lucy attempted to run at Blake, she was able to kick Lucy away, jump up to the top rope, and hit Lucy with a Twisting Crossbody before running the ropes, and hitting Lucy with a Basement Single Leg Dropkick before going for the pinfall, hooking both of her legs back.

Ref: 1…

Blake picked Lucy back up and hit her with a couple of Knife-Edge Chops to the chest, but Lucy responded with a thumb to the eye before kneeing her in the gut a couple of times.

"Lucy once again trying to slow Blake down back with some hard strikes, showing that Lucy has more weapons in her arsenal than her hands!" Kotoko exclaimed as Lucy grabbed both of Blake's arms, and attempted to hit her with a Butterfly Suplex, but the crowd cheered as Blake landed on her feet, and attempted to roll Lucy up with a Backslide. However, Lucy was able to roll herself back up to her feet and attempted to kick Blake in the ribs, but she was able to roll out of the way and attempted to hit Lucy with a Jumping Corkscrew Roundhouse Kick, but Lucy was able to dodge. The crowd booed as Lucy was able to grab Blake in a Waistlock, and pushed her into the corner, attempting to hit her with a Chaos Theory Rolling German Suplex, but the crowd cheered as Blake responded by sweeping Lucy's leg out. Blake attempted to hit Lucy with a Split-Legged Moonsault, but Lucy was able to roll out of the way, and despite Blake landing on her feet, Lucy kicked her in the gut and attempted to lock Blake in the Lock and Key (Cross Armbreaker). However, Blake was able to roll out of the Lock and Key (Cross Armbreaker) attempt, and Lucy responded to this by slapping Blake in the face out of frustration.

"An amazing display of athleticism and counter-wrestling by Blake and Lucy, but Lucy's letting her frustration of not getting the better of Blake in that exchange!" Striker exclaimed as Lucy once again attempted to grab Blake's arm, but the crowd cheered as an irate Blake pushed Lucy's hand away, and hit her with a Standing Savate Kick to the side of the head before running the ropes, and hitting Lucy with a Tilt-a-Whirl Arm Drag. The crowd continued cheering as Lucy pounded the mat in frustration before attempting to run at Blake, but Blake responded by hitting two Japanese Arm Drags and attempted to throw Lucy out of the ring with a Back Body Drop, but Lucy was able to keep herself on the apron.

"Lucy saving herself from a hard fall onto the padded concrete, but the question is how long can she keep saving herself like that," Bob noted as Lucy kicked Blake in the side of the leg a couple of times before putting Blake in a Waistlock, attempting to pull her over the top rope for a German Suplex to the outside. However, the crowd began cheering again as Blake hit Lucy several back elbows to the side of the head, but Lucy countered by grabbing Blake by the hair, preventing her from running the ropes. However, Blake was able to knock Lucy off the apron with a hard Pele Kick to the face, freeing her from Lucy's grip. The crowd continued cheering as Blake nodded at the cheering crowd with a smirk on her face before running the ropes, jumping up to the top rope, and taking Lucy down with a Springboard Corkscrew Plancha.

"Blake flying through the air to take Lucy out, but she has to be careful of the Conglomerate!" Striker exclaimed as Blake grabbed Lucy by the hair, but noticed Tohru storming up to her with a glare on her face. However, before she could do anything, the crowd cheered as Yang stomped over to Tohru, with Ruby and Weiss following her to confront the muscle of the Conglomerate. However, Liz and Patty rushed over to provide back-up for Tohru, the two teams arguing while Blake picked Lucy back up, and smashed her head against the top of the commentary table multiple times. The referee then told the groups on the outside to back away from the wrestlers while Blake hit Lucy with several forearms before throwing her onto the ground, jumping on top of the commentary table, and hitting her with a Diving Moonsault from the top of the table.

Ref: 1…2…3

"Blake using our commentary table to hit a spectacular Moonsault onto Lucy, and thanks to the referee, we have avoided more chaos thanks to the Conglomerate and Team RWBY!" Kotoko exclaimed as Blake picked Lucy up, and attempted to throw her into the steel steps, but Lucy jumped over the steel steps and landed on her feet on the other side of the steps. Blake noticed this and attempted to run at her, jumping on the steel steps for a dive, but Lucy was able to intercept her, grabbing Blake's arm, and throwing her into the fan barricade, sending her side and her arm bouncing off the barricade. The crowd booed while Lucy caught her breath, smirking when she noticed Blake writhing around in pain on the outside.

Ref: …4…5

"Lucy taking control in this match back in a major way, sending Blake's arm crashing against the fan barricade!" Striker exclaimed as Lucy immediately ran over to Blake, stomping on Blake's arm and pressing the heel of her boot against Blake's right shoulder. Lucy then picked Blake up by the hair, put her in position for a Vertical Suplex, and then hit her with a Gourdbuster that sent her crashing onto the top of the steel steps chest first. The crowd continued booing as Lucy grabbed Blake's right arm and smashed it against the side of the steel steps multiple times. Lucy wasn't done, however, as she grabbed Blake's arm, and pressed it against the sharp edge of the steel steps, the crowd booing as Lucy laughed while grinding the heel of her boot into Blake's arm.

Ref: …6…7

"Lucy showing off a vicious side to her, and you have to imagine that if she locks in that Lock and Key, that the match will be over!" Bob exclaimed as Lucy quickly rolled back into the ring, the crowd booing as Lucy climbed back onto the apron, and hit Blake with a Jumping Double Foot Stomp from the apron and onto her back. The crowd continued booing as Lucy playfully kicked at Blake's bruised arm, telling the fans that this was all Yang's fault, and she was going to have to live with it. Lucy then grabbed Blake's arm, pulled it in front of the steel ring post, and smashed it into the ring post a couple of times.

"And not only that, but the arm is good for balance, and balance is important for the high-flying and high-impact moves that Blake likes to use in her matches," Kotoko explained as Lucy then stretched Blake's arm around the steel ring post, Blake screaming as the referee threatened to disqualify Lucy if she didn't let go at the count of 5. Lucy let go of Blake at the count of 4 but kicked Blake in the arm hard enough to send her elbow bouncing off the steel steps. Lucy then pulled Blake away from the steel steps and hit her with multiple punches to the side of the head before smashing her face into the steel ring post. Lucy then pushed Blake back into the ring, climbed back up to the apron, and hit her with a Tope Con Hilo to the chest.

"Lucy is now in complete control in the match, and I'm not even sure if Blake can use her arm!" Bob exclaimed as Lucy picked Blake back up to her feet, hitting her with several Forearms to the side of the head before pushing her into the corner. The crowd continued booing as Lucy stomped on Blake's chest and arm multiple times before running the ropes and hitting Blake in the side of the head with a Running Corner Enziguri. The crowd continued booing as Lucy turned Blake around, hit her in the small of the back with multiple forearms, grabbed Blake in a Waistlock, and then pulled Blake out of the corner. Lucy then pushed Blake back into the corner before hitting her with a Chaos Theory Rolling German Suplex before bridging into a pinfall.

Ref: 1…2...

"Blake barely kicked out, though you can notice that the damage done to her arm made it harder for her to kick out," Striker noted as Lucy turned Blake on her stomach, and dropped a couple of Leg Drops over Blake's right arm. The crowd continued booing as Lucy threw Blake into the ropes, and when she rebounded from the ropes, Lucy hit her with a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker before hitting her with a Backstabber. The crowd continued booing as Lucy dragged Blake by the hair to the ropes, Lucy draping Blake's head over the middle rope, pressing her knee against the back of Blake's neck, choking her while yelling and laughing at Yang.

"Lucy just showing off the damage she's done to Blake, trying to make Yang regret telling her 'no'!" Bob exclaimed as Yang glared at Lucy, with Ruby grabbing Yang's arm, telling her to be careful and to not let Lucy get to her. Lucy then ran the ropes and hit Blake in the back with a Leapfrog Body Guillotine before jumping over the top rope, kicked her in the side of the head, and springboarded back into the ring, hitting Blake with a Springboard DDT. The crowd continued booing as Lucy yelled at the crowd that nobody says 'No' to Lucy Heartfilia before running the ropes, hitting a Jumping Double Foot Stomp to Blake's chest and right arm, and going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"I don't know how Blake is able to even more her arm at this point, but it speaks a lot to her resiliency and how important this match is to her and Team RWBY!" Kotoko exclaimed as Lucy picked Blake up, grabbed both her arms, and threw her overhead with a Butterfly Suplex, the crowd continuing to boo as Lucy bridged while holding Blake's arms, and locking her in a Cattle Mutilation submission. Blake grit her teeth in pain as she attempted to drag herself to the ropes, but Lucy was able to roll Blake back to the center of the ring, yelling at her to give up. Blake responded by shaking her head and attempted once again to roll herself to the ropes, the crowd cheering as Blake was able to grab the bottom rope with her feet.

"Lucy almost got the submission thanks to that Cattle Mutilation, but Blake used her ring awareness to make it to the ropes and break the hold!" Striker exclaimed as Lucy looked frustrated at the fact Blake had gotten a ropebreak and attempted to pick her back up, but the crowd cheered as Blake hit Lucy with a Sit-Out Jawbreaker, stunning her. The crowd continued cheering as Blake got back up to her feet, and hit Lucy with a Spinning Kick to the gut, a Kick to the face, and an Enziguri, sending her staggering into the corner. Blake then ran into the corner, attempting to hit a Running Kick into the corner, but Lucy was able to counter with a corner Superkick, sending Blake staggering away. Lucy then jumped up to the top rope and hit Blake in the side of the head with a Middle Rope Missile Dropkick before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"Blake had some fire briefly, but Lucy put that out quickly thanks to a couple of hard kicks to the side of the head!" Bob exclaimed as Lucy mounted Blake, and hit her with multiple punches to the side of the head before getting back up, grabbing Blake's arm, and dropping several knees onto the middle of Blake's arm. Blake attempted to escape Lucy's grasp, but Lucy kept hold of Blake's arm, wringing it, kicking it, and then throwing her back down to the mat with a Hip Toss, the crowd continuing to boo as Lucy pulled Blake's arm back with a Hammerlock. Lucy then started ramming her knee into Blake's right arm while continuing to bend it back in a Hammerlock.

"Lucy continuing her dissection of the arm. It's only a matter of time before she tries to put Blake in the Lock and Key again," Kotoko explained as Lucy continued pushing the arm, bending it as much as she could, but Blake wouldn't give up, shaking her head when the referee asked her if she wanted to give up. Lucy yelled at her and the booing crowd that Team RWBY were nothing compared to the Conglomerate, but the crowd began cheering as Blake pulled himself back up to her feet while Lucy still had her in the Hammerlock. Blake began hitting Lucy with several Back Elbows to the side of the head, but Lucy responded by pushing Blake into the corner while keeping her in a Hammerlock, sending her right arm crashing against the turnbuckles.

"Lucy smartly able to continue her beating on the arm despite Blake trying to free herself!" Bob exclaimed as Lucy hit Blake with a Hammerlock Back Suplex before climbing up to the top rope. The crowd continued booing as Lucy told Yang that Blake was done before attempting to hit Blake with a Diving Moonsault, but the crowd cheered as Blake put her feet up, causing Lucy's chin to crash against Blake's feet. The crowd continued cheering as Blake put herself into the corner to try and regain her bearings. Lucy held her chin in pain before attempting to run into the corner with another Running Corner Enziguri, but Blake was able to duck out of the way, push Lucy away from the corner, jump up to the middle turnbuckle, and hit Lucy with a Diving Bulldog onto Lucy.

"Blake is finally able to get some momentum back on her side, but look at her arm! It's still practically hanging at her side!" Striker exclaimed as Blake stomped on the canvas multiple times to get the crowd clapping and cheering along with her. Lucy staggered back to her feet, and Blake responded by hitting two Clotheslines, a Jumping Clothesline, and a Michinoku Driver. The crowd continued cheering as Lucy staggered back into the corner while Blake shook her right arm to get the blood flowing back into it. Blake then ran into the corner, hitting Lucy in the gut with a Corner Crossbody through the ropes, allowing Blake to slide onto the apron, kick Lucy in the side of the head, push her away from the ropes, and hit her with a Springboard Clothesline before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"Blake almost got the win with that Springboard Clothesline, but she still has to deal with the pain in her arm!" Bob exclaimed as Blake picked Lucy up, and attempted to hit her with a Suplex Stunner, but the crowd booed as Lucy landed on her feet behind Blake, and attempted to hit her with a German Suplex. However, Blake was able to duck down, push both her feet into Lucy's chin, kip back up to her feet, and hit Lucy with a Sit-Out Full Nelson Facebuster. The crowd continued cheering as Blake threw Lucy back into the corner and hit her with a Handspring Back Elbow before hitting her with a Suplex Stunner.

"Lucy getting her jaw-jacked with that Suplex Stunner! She's on all fours right now! What does Blake have planned here!?" Kotoko exclaimed as Blake went into the corner, and attempted to hit her with a Corkscrew Kick to the back, but Lucy was able to roll out of the way, kick Blake in the side of the arm, and hit Blake with a Jumping Double Knee Armbreaker. The crowd continued booing as Lucy pushed Blake into the corner, put her on the top turnbuckle, and attempted to hit her with a Top Rope Butterfly Suplex. However, the crowd cheered as Blake was able to fight out of Lucy's grasp, hitting her with several punches to the side of her head before smashing her face into the top turnbuckle a couple of times, sending Lucy falling off the top turnbuckle and onto the canvas.

"Blake is able to send Lucy flying off the top rope! This could be the end right here!" Bob exclaimed as Kotoko dived off the top rope with a Split-Legged Moonsault before going for another pin.

Ref: 1…2…

Blake looked irritated before she got back up on her feet, picked Lucy up, and attempted to hit her with the Deadly Nightshade (Cedric Alexander's Lumbar Check), but Lucy was able to grab Blake's arm and twisted it to escape her grasp. Lucy then wrung Blake's arm and hit her with an Arm Wringer Jump Kick to the side of the head. Lucy then attempted to hit Blake with another German Suplex, but Blake was able to jump behind Lucy, hit her in the back of the head with a Forearm strike, and then ran the ropes, attempting to hit a Handspring Back Kick. However, Lucy was able to duck out of the way of the kick, push Blake into the ropes, and hit her with another Chaos Theory Rolling German Suplex.

"Nice counter by Lucy, dropping Blake with another Rolling German Suplex!" Kotoko exclaimed as Lucy went into the corner, told the booing crowd that she was done, and hit Blake in the side of the head with a Kneeling Superkick before going for another pin, hooking both of her legs back.

Ref: 1…2…

"Blake kicking out once again! And Lucy looks like she's about to blow her stack!" Striker exclaimed as Lucy grabbed Blake's arm, attempting to lock her in the Lock and Key (Cross Armbreaker). However, Blake made it to the ropes, the crowd cheering as the referee pulled Lucy away from Blake, but while the referee and Lucy were arguing, Tohru hit a Bicycle Kick to Blake's arm. The crowd booed as Blake rolled away from the ropes while holding her arm, but the crowd cheered as Yang came running at Tohru, knocking her down with the Ember Celica (Superman Punch), knocking her down before mounting her and hitting her with multiple punches.

"Yang coming to the aid of her girlfriend, and you have to imagine that the guilt of getting Team RWBY involved with this is gnawing at her insides, and she feels like she HAS to do this!" Kotoko exclaimed as Liz and Patty ran over to Yang, and began stomping on her, but the crowd continued cheering as Ruby and Weiss came running down, and began brawling with the Thompson Sisters. While the brawl between the Conglomerate and Team RWBY was still happening outside the ring, Lucy and Blake hit each other at the same time with Forearms to the side of the head. Blake then dodged a kick from Lucy and hit her with a Kick to the side of the head.

"Blake with a hard kick to the side of the head! And thanks to Team RWBY, the Conglomerate are no longer a factor in this match!" Striker exclaimed as Blake went into the corner, and attempted to hit Lucy with a Handspring Kick, but Lucy rolled out of the way of the kick, grabbed Blake's bad arm, and hit her with the Urano Metria (Hammerlock DDT). The crowd continued booing as Lucy immediately grabbed Blake's arm, and locked her in the Lock and Key (Cross Armbreaker). Blake attempted to pull herself to the ropes and out of the Lock and Key (Cross Armbreaker), but Lucy was able to pull Blake back to the center of the ring, and after almost another minute in the hold, Blake reluctantly tapped out.

*Bell Rings*

"Here is your winner as a result of a submission, representing the Conglomerate, Lucy Heartfilia!" Tony Chimel announced as Lucy stood back up on her feet, raising her fist in the air. The crowd continued booing as Lucy pushed Blake out of the ring with her foot, and jumped up to the top rope, outstretching her hands while the brawl on the outside stopped. Yang ran over to Blake with Weiss and Ruby quickly following and helping Yang pick a battered Blake up, the crowd continuing to boo as Lucy looked over at Yang, and reminded her that she told her that Blake would lose.

"Lucy is able to get the submission victory, which means she and the rest of the Conglomerate are in control of the stipulation for the Team RWBY vs. Conglomerate match at StarShow!" Striker exclaimed as the Conglomerate rolled into the ring, with Tohru lifting Lucy on her shoulders in celebration, the crowd continuing to boo as Liz and Patty applauded Lucy's victory. Lucy, while celebrating on Tohru's shoulders, told Patty to get her a microphone, which Patty obliged by taking the microphone from Tony Chimel, and handing it to Lucy while she climbed down from Tohru.

"See!? I told all of you that I would win tonight! Now, I've had just about enough of Yang, her idiot girlfriend, and the rest of Team RWBY! StarShow is going to be the last time that the Conglomerate deals with Team RWBY!" Lucy exclaimed, the crowd booing and chanting 'Lucy's a Bitch!' while Yang yelled at Lucy that she wasn't going to get away with all of this while she tried her best to keep Blake on her feet.

"Now, the Conglomerate and I already decided on what we were going to do for StarShow. At StarShow, it's going to be an 8-woman tag team match. Team RWBY vs. the Conglomerate. But, there is a catch; WHEN I win at StarShow, Team RWBY not only disbands, but they have to join the Conglomerate and be our servants!" Lucy exclaimed, the crowd booing even louder as Weiss and Ruby looked at Lucy and the rest of the Conglomerate in shock, while Yang shook her head, and yelled at her that that was never going to happen.

"That's right! StarShow is going to be the final show for Team RWBY, and it's all Yang's fault! I told you before Yang; nobody says 'No' to Lucy Heartfilia! And trust me when I say this; if you think what we do to you as out servant is going to be bad, I'm going to make your little sister and your girlfriend over there work their fingers to the bone around my mansion!" Lucy exclaimed, the crowd cheering as Yang handed Blake off to Ruby, slid into the ring, and tackled Lucy to the ground, raining down punches on her while the rest of the Conglomerate pulled her off of Lucy, which Ruby, Weiss, and Blake responded to by sliding into the ring after Yang, and incited another brawl with the Conglomerate.

"Lucy just doesn't know when to take the win and leave, as she's just started another brawl between the two factions!" Kotoko exclaimed as multiple referees came rushing into the ring, trying to pull the women apart from each other, but this wasn't going to be easy, as Yang was hell-bent on getting her hands on Lucy. The camera panned to the backstage area while referees continued trying to separate the brawling women.

The camera panned to the backstage interview area, where Miwa Kasumi was standing next to BTWF Women's Champion 'Amazing' Luna Collins. If Luna was perturbed by Minatsuki's words earlier, it didn't show on her face, as Luna had her usual focused stoicism on her face, holding the BTWF Women's World Championship in her hands while it was slung over her shoulders.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the BTWF Women's Champion, 'Amazing' Luna Collins, who will face Minatsuki Takami at StarShow with the championship on the line. Now, Luna, we haven't seen Minatsuki like this, and some people are saying that when you destroyed the Happy Place, you broke Minatsuki and that you made the Demon even more dangerous than she already was. What's your response to that?" Miwa asked. Luna sighed, looked at her championship, and then back at Miwa before responding.

"Look, Miwa, I'm not going to pretend I know what goes on in Minatsuki's head, or what made her like this. I'm not a psychologist, but I'm going to be completely honest with you and the fans here; I don't feel bad about what I did to Minatsuki," Luna responded with a shrug of the shoulders, causing Miwa to raise her eyebrows in surprise.

"Listen, I know what I did last week may have seemed like…a lot to some people, but Minatsuki is dangerous. For weeks, she's put on that Demon makeup, and attacked me from behind and after my matches, while also trying to play mind games with me. I'm not going to let anyone take this BTWF Women's Championship from me, especially not Minatsuki," Luna continued before Miwa finally pulled the microphone back to her mouth.

"Given what you just said, would you say the pressure of defending that championship is starting to get to you?" Miwa asked.

"No, I understood the pressures of becoming champion perfectly well the second I won the belt from Lucy back at Trouble in Tokyo. My issue with Minatsuki is that she's used her Happy Place to brainwash people into believing that she's just some misunderstood girl who never means to hurt anyone. She's not just some misunderstood girl. When the Demon attacked me, I saw her eyes, and there was a sparkle in those eyes like she was enjoying what she was doing to me. I cannot let someone like that become the BTWF Women's Champion, especially when I'm the only one keeping the gold from that monster," Luna explained, with Miwa nodding in understanding before pulling the microphone back to her mouth.

"Luna, I know of your past, where you were tricked into a contract with Jennifer Kajiwara, and forced to be her plaything, and all the while, she would manipulate you into thinking what she was going was good for you. Has what Minatsuki done with the fans reminded you of what you went through?" Miwa asked before putting the microphone back underneath Luna's mouth. Luna took several deep breaths, trying to get the memories of her time with her biological mother out of her mind before continuing.

"Yes, but at the same time, I can understand where Minatsuki is coming from. We both have been betrayed by the people who were supposed to love us the most, but we went different ways. I try to be as far away from my mother as I can be personally, while Minatsuki has taken what her mother did to her to the next level. And I'm not letting anyone like that take the BTWF Women's Championship from me," Luna responded before taking the microphone back, motioning for Miwa to leave, which she obliged before Luna turned her attention to the camera.

"Minatsuki, listen to me, and listen to me good; I fought tooth and nail to earn this championship. I put my and my father's career on the line for this championship. I've defended it against all-comers, whether on PPV or on Intensity, and I've defended it with everything I have. And Minatsuki, at StarShow, I don't care if you bring out your Demon, your puppets, your Happy Place, or any more of your weird bullshit! I am walking out of StarShow the BTWF Women's Champion, and I'm going to continue showing everyone why I am amazing, and why you are nothing but a lunatic that has no business with this championship!" Luna exclaimed before throwing the microphone back at Miwa, and stomping away, all fired up. While Miwa was staring at Luna's disappearing frame, out of the corner of the camera's frame, Minatsuki Takami was glaring at the scene before her, having heard everything that Luna had said about her.

The camera then panned to the stage, where 'Straight Out the Gate' by Tech N9ne (feat. Serj Tankian) played, the crowd booing as Kilik Rung walked in front of Huey Freeman while Cleveland Brown Jr. and Vincent LeSalle came walking out of the back behind them. Cleveland Jr. gave the jeering fans a gunshow, while Vincent patted Cleveland Jr. on the back while Kilik ordered Cleveland Jr. and Vincent to follow him to the ring, and Huey glared at Kilik trying to order the Nation 2.0 around.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, representing and accompanied to the ring by the Nation of Domination 2.0, from Stoolbend, Virginia, Cleveland Brown Jr.!" Tony Chimel announced as Huey told Kilik that he was the leader and that Kilik shouldn't be ordering anyone around, which Kilik responded to by blowing Huey off, and telling Cleveland Jr. and Vincent to hurry to the ring. Huey continued glaring at Kilik while he led the rest of the Nation of Domination 2.0 to the ring, before stopping at the ringside area, and raising his fist in the air.

"Kilik has been having tension with the Nation of Domination 2.0 for a while now, but that doesn't mean he's against using the other members of the Nation to get an advantage against his StarShow opponent," Striker explained as Huey and the rest of the Nation raised their fists in the air along with Kilik, though Huey continued glaring at Kilik while the other men had their heads down with their eyes closed. Kilik patted Cleveland Jr. on the back before Huey told him to get in the ring while the rest of the Nation surrounded the ringside area. Cleveland Jr. nodded before stepping up to the apron while walking over the top rope and into the ring, raising his fist in the air while the rest of the Nation took their places around the ring.

"Edward Elric beat Vincent last week in a competitive match, but now he's going to go against the powerhouse of the Nation of Domination 2.0," Bob noted as Cleveland Jr. walked into the corner, and began slapping himself in the face to hype himself up before Austin Aries' 'Ambition and Vision' theme song played, the crowd cheering as Elric walked out of the back with the BTWF International Championship around his waist. Elric spun around on the center of the stage and outstretched his arms, the crowd continuing to cheer as some pyro shot out of the stage before he began his walk down the entranceway.

"And his opponent, from Resembool in the East State, Amestris, he is the BTWF International Champion, Edward Elric!" Tony Chimel announced, the crowd continuing to cheer as Elric high-fived several fans in the front row while taking the BTWF International Championship off from around his waist and raising it over his shoulder. Elric continued high-fiving fans in the front row while Huey, Kilik, and Vincent were talking outside of the ring to go over strategy, thought Kilik occasionally looked over at Elric and the BTWF International Championship that he was showing off to the fans.

"Elric doesn't seem to have any worry about going against the biggest member of the Nation of Domination 2.0," Kotoko noted as Elric looked over at Kilik, and raised the BTWF International Championship over his head before sliding the BTWF International Championship underneath the bottom rope and into the ring. Elric smirked at Kilik before sliding into the ring from underneath the bottom rope, picking up the BTWF International Championship, and jumping on the middle rope. Elric raised the BTWF International Championship over his head once again before jumping off the middle rope, putting the title down in the corner, and telling the referee he was ready.

"He looks ready for the challenge ahead of him! And that's exactly the right attitude to have with StarShow just around the corner!" Bob exclaimed as the referee made sure Cleveland Jr. was ready before telling the timekeeper to ring the bell. Elric and Cleveland Jr. met in the middle of the ring, locking up, the crowd booing as Cleveland Jr. pushed Elric away, flexing one of his arms while Elric rolled back up to his feet. Elric responded by locking up with Cleveland Jr. again, though this time when Cleveland Jr. pushed him away, Elric rolled back up to his feet and hit him with a Running Knee Strike to the side of the head.

"Elric quickly learned that trying to overpower Cleveland Jr. isn't going to work, and going for the full-frontal assault strategy!" Striker exclaimed as Elric hit several punches to the side of Cleveland Jr.'s face before kicking him in the side of the head. However, Cleveland Jr. blocked one of those kicks and hit him with a couple of headbutts to the chest before throwing Elric into the corner. The crowd continued booing as Cleveland Jr. hit Elric with several clubbing Forearms to the sides of the head, the referee threatening to disqualify him if he didn't stop at the 5 count. Cleveland Jr. went back into the corner and hit Elric with several headbutts to the face and the side of the head before the referee once again stopped Cleveland Jr. from continuing the onslaught.

"Cleveland Jr. answering Elric's strikes with some hard ones of his own!" Bob exclaimed as Cleveland Jr. attempted to run into the corner with a Jumping Stinger Splash, but Elric moved out of the way, the crowd cheering as he hit Cleveland Jr. with a Revolution Knee (Ripcord Knee Strike). Cleveland Jr. fell to his knees, and the crowd continued cheering as Elric ran the ropes, him in the side of the head with a Running Knee Trembler to the side of the head. The crowd continued cheering as Elric, much to the delight of the fans and the shock of the Nation of Domination 2.0, hit the Phoenix Splash before going for the pinfall, hooking both of his legs.

*Bell Rings*

"Here is your winner, he is the BTWF International Champion, Edward-" Tony Chimel attempted to announce, but he was interrupted by Kilik, Huey, and Vincent rushing the ring, and attacking Elric. The crowd began booing as Elric attempted to fight the three, but Kilik was able to stop Elric from fighting back by hitting him with a Discus Forearm to the side of the head. Kilik, Vincent, and Huey began stomping on a downed Elric while the crowd booed and chanted for Elric as Vincent and Kilik picked a dazed Elric up, allowing Huey to hit Elric with a Spinning Kick to the side of the head.

"Elric pulling off the surprisingly quick victory here on Intensity, but the Nation 2.0 look to get the last laugh!" Striker exclaimed as Cleveland Jr. picked himself up, angrily grabbed Elric by the throat with both of his hands and hit him with a Double-Handed Chokebomb, the crowd continuing to boo as Elric practically bounced from the impact. Vincent then climbed up to the top rope, the crowd continuing to boo as he hit the Frog Splash into an Elbow Drop to the chest, with Kilik high-fiving both Cleveland Jr. and Vincent while patting Huey on the back.

"Elric's being decimated by the Nation of Domination 2.0! This may be the first time in a while that we've seen Huey and Kilik getting along!" Kotoko exclaimed as Kilik picked Elric up, did the cut-throat taunt over Elric's throat, and hit him with the Ripcord Discus Elbow strike to the side of the head, sending Elric crumpling to the mat. Huey smirked at Kilik before grabbing the BTWF International Championship and wrapping it around Kilik's waist, the crowd booing as Kilik and Huey fist-bumped each other before they, Vincent, and Cleveland Jr. raised their fists up.

"Could this be the scene at StarShow!? Could Kilik become the brand new BTWF International Champion!?" Bob asked as the camera focused on the Nation continuing to celebrate while Elric rolled out of the ring, holding the back of his head in pain.

The camera panned to the backstage interview area, where Kurt Bale was standing next to Scott Stanford, who was holding a microphone in his hand.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the #1 contender for the BTWF International Championship at StarShow, Kurt Bale. Now Kurt, up next, you're going to go up against Duncan of the NWO. How are you feeling, knowing that the NWO are going to be lurking around the ringside area?" Scott asked, which Bale responded to with a smirk before responding.

"I'm not scared of the NWO, Scott. They can beat me up all they want, but all it proves is that they're nothing but cowards. I don't need an entire group of guys to fight my battles for me, and that's what makes me different from Jellal," Bale explained before Scott took the microphone back while nodding.

"So, you're willing to face off against more members of the NWO during your Hardcore title match?" Scott asked. Before Bale could answer, however, BTWF Hardcore Champion Jellal Fernandes hit Bale in the back of the head with the championship. Duncan and Marco followed Jellal and immediately began raining down stomps and punches on Bale, and despite Bale's best efforts to fight back, Duncan and Marco grabbed both his legs and hands before throwing him to the side of a production crate.

"You know something, Bale? I don't need these guys to beat you up for me, we just like beating down losers like you. And at StarShow, you're going to see what happens when you go up against the NWO!" Jellal exclaimed as he stomped on Bale's head multiple times. Jellal then opened the production crate and threw Bale halfway into it, his midsection being draped over the crate. Jellal then smashed the cover of the production crate into Bale's back multiple times, but multiple security guards came by followed by an irate Sunny Bridges.

"I've had my fill of y'all! StarShow is just around the corner, and I'm not gonna have y'all ruin StarShow by injuring our wrestlers! I already kicked Corvus, Kite, and Tsubaki out, and now the rest of the NWO is banned from the building tonight!" Sunny exclaimed, causing Jellal, Duncan, and Marco to look at one of the GMs of Intensity in shock.

"What!? You can't do that! What about Bakugo!? He's supposed to be in the main event tonight!" Marco exclaimed, with Duncan nodding in agreement while several security guards pushed them back, away from Bale. A couple of medical personnel then helped Bale back to his feet and walked him away to the trainer's room.

"Oh, and he still will. You guys just won't be around to ruin the main event," Sunny explained before telling the security to take them out of the building. Jellal, Duncan, and Marco looked like they were going to fight back, but they stopped in their tracks when Sunny continued talking. "If y'all don't leave right now, I'm going to strip EVERY member of the NWO of their championships," Sunny warned. Reluctantly and through gritted teeth, Jellal, Duncan, and Marco left with the security guards, who went to get the rest of the NWO, sans Bakugo, out of the arena. As Sunny walked back to his office, Overhaul came stomping up to him, with a glare on his face.

"What the hell do you think you're doing!? We're so close to StarShow, and you're kicking one of the biggest acts we have out of the building!?" Overhaul asked incredulously, attempting to stomp over to security to stop them, but Sunny grabbed Overhaul by the back of the shirt and pulled him back so that he was standing face-to-face with Sunny.

"Yeah, because they're risking some of our big matches! And speaking of risks, I've been meaning to ask what the hell lifting the ban I put on Lucy and the Conglomerate being at ringside for their matches!?" Sunny countered, poking Overhaul in the chest repeatedly with his pointer finger, which he responded by pushing Sunny's finger away from his chest.

"Lucy and the Conglomerate have made things more interesting! Why wouldn't I want to make sure the Conglomerate are on screen more!? Are you too much of a pussy to make your show more interesting!?" Overhaul countered, pushing Sunny with both of his hands.

"Oh, I'm the pussy!? You're the one who suspended Midoriya, the #1 contender for the World Heavyweight Championship at StarShow mind you, all because he brought the AVW Championship over, and don't give me that crap that it was because of the brawl he had with Bakugo in the parking lot, because he's done much worse without so much as a slap on the wrist!" Sunny responded back, pushing Overhaul back, the two getting nose-to-nose with each other.

"Yeah, don't think I didn't notice that Bakugo was able to do what he did to Eri, attack multiple wrestlers and officials without any punishment, despite the face YOU told me that you were taking care of it. And not only that, but you blatantly canceled my punishment for the Conglomerate behind my back," Sunny explained, his voice quieter than before, but also holding the same venom as before.

"So what!? I'm a general manager of this show too, and my decisions hold just as much weight as yours!" Overhaul exclaimed, running his hands through his hair in frustration.

"It won't for long, because I got the Board of Directors involved in this, and they're going to be investigating your performance as one-half of the Intensity General Managers," Sunny explained, but Overhaul wasn't having it, walking away from the scene, pushing Sunny out of the way.

"Oh hell no! I'm not going to be a part of any fucking investigation! You're not going to destroy my reputation with this bullshit! I quit!" Overhaul exclaimed before stomping out the door, grumbling about how Sunny was going to pay for this. Sunny looked at Overhaul's disappearing frame and sighed while rubbing the side of his temples with his fingers before walking back to his office.

*Commercial Break*

*Commercial Over*

The camera panned to a graveyard, where Zancrow was walking to an open grave that had his name written on the tombstone. Next to the open grave, there was a decrepit old coffin, with rotting flowers on top and a shovel right next to it.

"This…this is a place that haunts me to this day. Every time I close my eyes, I imagine myself trapped in this very coffin, and being buried underneath the dirt of this cemetery," Zancrow explained as he grabbed the shovel, and opened the casket, revealing a Bickslow model, with his eyes closed, his face bruised, his arm broken, and both his legs wrapped in bandages.

"Bickslow, I set you on fire and I put you in a casket, but that's not enough. You almost put an end to not only my career but my life as well. At StarShow, the only way for me to finally be free and at peace is if I take away what you almost took away from me," Zancrow explained as he kicked the coffin into the grave, almost sending the fake body of Bickslow falling out of the casket. However, Zancrow didn't seem to care, as he grabbed the shovel, and began scooping up dirt before shoveling it into the grave.

"At StarShow, Bickslow, you will rest in agony, and I will live in peace. See you in hell," Zancrow said before he continued putting dirt into the casket. The camera then panned to the backstage interview area, where Levy McGarden was standing next to Kohaku and Homura Momiji, who looked a little disturbed at what they had just seen.

"Yeah…that was weird. I would not want to be Bickslow at StarShow. Anyway, Levy, you had something to ask us?" Kohaku asked, Levy, responding by turning her head towards the tag team in front of her, shaking her head, and blinking her eyes as if she had forgotten that she was conducting an interview.

"Oh! Right…right, sorry. I…I wanted to ask you both how you felt about Maka and Winry becoming the last team to qualify for the Fatal-4-Way #1 contenders match?" Levy asked.

"We're happy to be in the ring with Maka and Winry at StarShow. We've always wanted to face those guys-" Kohaku began saying before Darkness and Megumin stomped over to them and got right in their faces, Darkness pushing Levy out of the way before handing Megumin the microphone.

"Maka and Winry this, Maka and Winry that. I am damn sick and tired of hearing about Maka and Winry. If we had half the opportunities that Maka and Winry got, we'd be at the top of this division!" Megumin exclaimed, attempting to get into Kohaku's face, but Kohaku responded by lightly pushing her away.

"Weren't you in that same match Maka and Winry were in to get the match they had tonight? You guys lost fair and square," Kohaku countered, but this made Darkness and Megumin even angrier.

"Maybe, but we're not seen as the stars we are. My performance in Draconic Fury Wrestling's inaugural PPV alone shows how much of a star I am! And I refuse to be in second place in this company anymore! Darkness and I are going to become the BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions, one way or another!" Megumin continued yelling in Kohaku's ear, to which Homura responded by getting in between the two.

"Look, we really don't care about your problems with Winry and Maka, but if you two want to fight, we have no problem giving the Nevada crowd a preview of what we're going to do at StarShow," Homura threatened, with Darkness and Megumin looking ready for a fight. However, before the two could exchange strikes, Maka and Winry came running from behind, knocking both Darkness and Megumin down with Clotheslines to the back of the head. Maka and Winry then looked over at Kohaku and Homura with smiles on their faces.

"Sorry about that guys, those two have been on our asses for the past month. Didn't mean for you guys to get caught up in that," Winry explained as Kohaku and Homura looked at each other before nodding.

"Hey, don't worry about it. Not the first time we've had people wanting to get in our faces to prove a point. Like we were saying before we were so rudely interrupted, we cannot wait to wrestle you guys at StarShow," Kohaku responded, the two teams shaking each other's hands, with Maka handing the microphone back to Levy.

"Same here, guys. But don't think we're going to take it easy on your guys. A shot at the BTWF Women's Tag Team Championships is on the line, and we want those titles as much as you guys do," Maka responded, the two not noticing that Darkness and Megumin were beginning to pull themselves back up to their feet.

"Oh, for sure. We gotta get more training in, so we'll see you guys. Hey, Homura! Race you back to the gym!" Kohaku exclaimed, running out of the backstage interview area, with Homura following close behind. However, before Maka and Winry could leave the backstage interview area, Megumin and Darkness got back up to their feet and began brawling with Maka and Winry. Levy ran out of the backstage interview area to call security while Megumin hit Maka with multiple rabbit punches to the side of the head and while Darkness pushed Winry into the wall while the two exchanged punches. The camera panned away as security finally arrived, and tried to separate the four women brawling with each other.

The camera focused on the stage, where 'My Fight' by Ashes for New played, the crowd cheering as Spinelli and Hana came out of the back. The camera panned around the stage and the ringside area, where various instruments such as drums, guitars, xylophones, trumpets, and a grand piano, were around. Spinelli and Hana looked around the stage and fist-bumped each other before Hana shadow-boxed on the center of the stage while Spinelli raised her fist in the air.

"The following contest is a Symphony of Destruction tag team match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, the team of Ashley Spinelli and Hana Morenos!" Tony Chimel announced. However, before Spinelli and Hana could even leave the stage, Jiro and Juniper came running out of the back. The crowd booed as Jiro hit Spinelli in the back of the neck with her guitar, allowing Juniper to push her off the stage, and through the drumset. Hana attempted to go after Jiro, but June tackled her to the ground and began exchanging punches with Hana, the crowd continuing to boo as Jiro grabbed Hana by the hair, and attempted to lock her in the Silencer (Kirifuda Clutch).

"Juniper and Jiro not letting Spinelli and Hana even get started in this match! Jiro's already trying to finish this match with the Silencer!" Striker exclaimed as Hana hit Jiro with a Jawbreaker, sending Jiro staggering away before Juniper attempted to grab Hana. While Hana fought out of Juniper's grip with punches, the timekeeper rang the bell to start the match. Hana pushed Juniper away and sent Juniper staggering away with a punch to the side of the head, the crowd cheering as Hana grabbed a violin bow, and hit Juniper in the back several times. The crowd continued cheering as Hana began choking Juniper with the hair of the violin bow while Jiro grabbed the guitar strings from the pieces of her broken guitar on the floor.

"This is almost as chaotic as the antics going on backstage! We lost half our Intensity General Managers before this match, and Spinelli's in a crumpled heap, buried underneath that drumset!" Kotoko exclaimed as Jiro used the guitar strings before choking Hana with the guitar strings. The crowd continued booing as Hana walked off the stage and on the entranceway, and Hana responded by pushing Jiro back first into the side of the fan barricade. The crowd continued cheering as Hana turned around and hit Jiro with several forearms to the side of the head, but June responded by hitting Hana in the back with a timpani drumstick. The crowd continued booing as June dragged Hana to the ringside area before throwing her into the steel steps. June smirked at the booing crowd before running into the steps, hitting a Hesitation Dropkick to the chest, sending Hana's back and the back of her head bouncing off the side of the steel.

"We don't know what this means for the future of our Intensity General Managers, but hopefully, we get some answers at StarShow," Bob noted as June picked Hana up, and slammed her face into the top of the steel steps multiple times before Jiro came back with the timpani drumstick. June smirked before putting Hana in a Front Facelock, allowing Jiro to hit Hana in the back multiple times with the Timpani drumstick. After several hits with the drumstick, June picked Hana up in a Vertical Suplex position before dropping her down on the steel ring apron with a Falcon Arrow.

"And hopefully, Spinelli can get back into this match to help Hana back in this match!" Striker responded as June pushed Hana back into the ring, and springboarded back into the ring, hitting a Springboard Tope Con Hilo to Hana's chest. The crowd continued booing as June picked Hana up, and hit her with several punches to the side of the head before pushing her into the corner. While Juniper continued beating Hana in the ring, Jiro grabbed several instruments and slid them into the ring, such as a couple of cymbals, a couple of xylophones, a violin, and a trombone. Juniper then ran the ropes and hit a Running Back Elbow to the side of the head before throwing her to the other side of the ring with an Exploder Suplex.

"Jiro filling the ring with instruments while Juniper continues to dominate Hana!" Bob exclaimed as Jiro grabbed the cymbals, and smashed them in between Hana's head before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

Jiro grabbed one of the cymbals and smashed it into Hana's gut multiple times before Juniper ran the ropes, and hit a Running Senton onto Hana's chest while crashing down right on one of the cymbals.

"Spinelli is still being tended to by the medical personnel at the stage. That fall could not have been good for her neck," Kotoko noted as Juniper picked Hana up, and threw her into another corner. The crowd continued booing as Juniper hit Hana with a Running Corner Back Elbow, and Jiro responded with a Running Corner Knee Strike to the chin. Jiro then threw Hana out of the corner with a Snapmare, held her in place so that Juniper could run the ropes, and hit Hana in the chest with a Penalty Kick. The crowd continued booing as Jiro ran the ropes, hitting Hana in the side of the head with a Jumping Knee Drop before Juniper hit a Double Leg Drop across the chest before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"Hana is still fighting, and all the while, the worry for her tag team partner and friend has to be on her mind," Striker explained as Jiro mounted Hana, and hit her with several forearms to the side of the head before Juniper grabbed the trombone, and hit Hana in the chest with it several times. Hana attempted to kick Juniper away, but she responded by pressing the bottom of the trombone against her throat. Meanwhile, on the stage, the medical personnel were checking in on Spinelli, who was shooing them away, telling them that she was fine, despite holding the back of her neck. In the ring, June and Jiro picked Hana back up and attempted to hit her with a Double Suplex, but the crowd cheered as Hana was able to hit both women with knee strikes to the top of the head, allowing herself to escape their grasp.

"Hana finally fighting back here, realizing that it could be a long time before Spinelli could get back to the ring!" Bob exclaimed as Hana grabbed Jiro, and threw her into the corner, hitting her with multiple punches to the chest and the side of the head. Juniper attempted to run at her with a Running Clothesline, but Hana grabbed the trombone Juniper had dropped and hit her in the chest with it. The crowd continued cheering as Hana continued smashing the trombone into Juniper's back, and when Jiro turned Hana around to try and stop the onslaught, Hana hit her in the side of the head with a trombone, sending her falling into the ropes.

"Hana, with the steel of the trombone, bouncing off the skull of the Queen of Song Style!" Bob exclaimed as Hana ran the ropes, and hit a Single Leg Basement Dropkick to the side of Jiro's head before throwing her overhead with a Back Body Driver. Jiro got back up to her feet while holding the back of her head before attempting to hit Hana with a Forearm, but Hana ducked and hit her with several kicks to the legs and the chest of Jiro before hitting her with a Northern Lights Suplex, bridging into a pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

The crowd booed as Juniper came back into the match, hitting Hana in the stomach with the trombone.

"Juniper preventing another loss here, slamming the trombone right into the midsection of Hana, and look at how she's rolling on her stomach, trying to get her breathing back to normal," Kotoko explained worriedly as Juniper responded by hitting a Running Knee Strike to Hana's side before grabbing one of the xylophones and putting Hana's head on top of one of them. Juniper playfully slapped the back of Hana's head before running the ropes, attempting to hit Hana with a Curb Stomp, but the crowd cheered as Hana moved out of the way, causing Juniper to send her leg through the xylophone.

"Juniper breaking the xylophone with the force of that Curb Stomp! Imagine what that could've done to Hana had she not moved out of the way!" Striker exclaimed as Hana kicked Juniper's right knee before locking her in a Kneebar, the crowd cheering as Juniper started screaming in pain, shaking her head and saying that she wasn't giving up. However, after another minute in the hold, Jiro got back to her feet and attempted to pull her off with a Silencer (Kirifuda Clutch), but Hana responded with several back elbows before transitioning into an Ankle Lock on Juniper.

"Hana now has the Ankle Lock locked in on Juniper! We've seen this move put away dozens of champions and Hall of Famers! There's no shame in tapping out to the move made famous by former UFC Champion Ken Shamrock!" Kotoko exclaimed as Juniper attempted to reach the ropes, despite there being no ropebreaks in this match. While Hana continued wrenching on the Ankle, Jiro hit Hana with a Roundhouse Kick to the back of the head before throwing Hana off her partner with a German Suplex. The crowd continued booing as Jiro picked Hana up again, hit her with a Gutwrench Suplex, and then put her on her knees and hit her with a Knee Strike to the face before going for another pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"And just like that, Jiro snuffed out Hana's fire!" Bob exclaimed as Jiro stomped on the back of Hana's head multiple times while on the stage, Spinelli pushed a couple of medical personnel away before stomping down the entrance ramp. Spinelli grabbed a clarinet from the side and attempted to make it into the ring, but Jiro noticed this, and when Spinelli got onto the apron, Jiro threw the trombone on the side of Spinelli's head, sending her falling off the apron. Jiro then ran the ropes, and hit Spinelli in the side of the head with a Running Baseball Slide Dropkick, putting her back onto the floor.

"Spinelli clearly thinks that she can continue the match, but Jiro put her back on the ground, maintaining her 2-on-1 advantage!" Striker exclaimed as Jiro immediately picked Hana back up, and hit her with several more forearms to the side of the head before dropping her on the broken xylophone with a Falcon Arrow. Jiro then grabbed one of the longer pieces of the xylophone and hit her in the back with it several times before hitting her in the back with a Jumping Double Foot Stomp. By this point, Juniper had pulled herself back up to her feet, and Jiro responded by picking Hana up, and kneeing her in the gut before pushing her away, allowing Juniper to knock Hana back down with a Jumping Back Elbow to the side of the head.

"Juniper almost knocked Hana's jaw off with that Jumping Back Elbow!" Bob exclaimed as Juniper picked Hana up, and hit her with a Gourdbuster, sending her crashing into Jiro's knee. The crowd continued booing as Juniper took the trombone apart, and began choking Hana with the hand slide. Jiro yelled at Hana, saying that they should never have messed with her and Juniper, kicking her in the side of the head before running the ropes, and hitting a Penalty Kick to the chest. The crowd continued booing as Juniper hit Hana with a Russian Legsweep while keeping the hand slide around her neck, pinning her.

Ref: 1…2…

Juniper put Hana in a side headlock, hitting her with multiple punches to the side of the head before taking the hand slide off of around Hana's throat, and hitting her in the back with it multiple times.

"That hand slide's been bent thanks to the force Juniper's been hitting Hana with!" Kotoko exclaimed as Juniper noticed that Spinelli was trying to climb back into the ring, and the crowd continued booing as Juniper hit Spinelli in the back of the neck with the hand slide. Juniper then kicked Spinelli down and spat at her before attempting to hit Hana with a Jumping Spin Kick, but Hana was able to duck and hit Juniper in the throat with a Savate Kick. Jiro prevented Hana from taking control by hitting her with a Running Knee Strike to the back, sending her falling into the ropes. Jiro then grabbed the hand slide and started hitting Hana in the back multiple times before running the ropes and hitting Hana with a Leaping Body Guillotine.

"Jiro and Juniper continuing their domination of Hana, and all Spinelli can do is writhe on the ground in pain!" Striker exclaimed as Juniper picked Hana up, and hit her with a Gourdbuster that sent Hana's chest crashing into the top rope. Juniper held Hana in place with a Front Facelock while Jiro started climbing up to the top rope, diving off the top rope to hit a Diving Knee Drop across Hana's back, allowing Juniper to hit her with a Rope Hung DDT before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

Juniper and Jiro looked absolutely shocked that Hana had kicked out, the crowd cheering and chanting for Hana as she attempted to pull herself back up to her feet. Jiro climbed back up to the top rope, attempting another Diving Knee Drop, but the crowd exploded into cheers as Spinelli got back up onto the apron, and hit Jiro in the back of the head with a violin, sending Jiro falling out of the ring and through a table that contained several percussion instruments.

"Spinelli's back in this match, and she just sent Jiro crashing through a table outside of the ring!" Kotoko exclaimed as Juniper looked at Spinelli incredulously, and attempted to rush her, but Spinelli hit her in the side of the head with the broken piece of the violin that she was holding. The crowd continued cheering as Spinelli springboarded back into the ring, hitting Juniper with a Springboard Hurricanrana. The crowd chanted for Spinelli as she grabbed pieces of the second xylophone, and threw them at Juniper. After throwing a couple of pieces at a downed Jiro before running the ropes, and hitting Juniper with two Clotheslines, a Reverse Atomic Drop, a Flying Forearm, and a Running Facebuster.

"Spinelli's fire is burning bright, and Juniper is getting burned by that fire!" Striker exclaimed as Spinelli picked Juniper up, and threw her into the corner. Spinelli ran after Juniper in the corner, hit Juniper with a Running Knee Strike to the face, jumped up to the middle rope, and started hitting her with multiple punches to the side of Juniper's head. The crowd continued cheering as Spinelli threw Hana out of the corner with a Monkey Flip, sending her crashing through the xylophone. Spinelli then picked Juniper up, and hit her with a Snap Swinging Neckbreaker before going for the pinfall, hooking both of her legs back.

Ref: 1…2…

"Juniper barely kicking out, but she may have wanted to stay down, as Hana's back on her feet!" Bob exclaimed as Spinelli held Juniper's arms behind her back, allowing Hana to hit her with multiple kicks to the chest before Spinelli put Juniper in position for a German Suplex. Hana then springboarded off the middle rope and hit a Springboard Kick at the same time Spinelli hit Juniper with a German Suplex. The crowd continued cheering as Hana hit a Sliding Knee Strike to the side of the head and Spinelli immediately responded with a Standing Moonsault. Spinelli then slid out of the ring, grabbing some drumsticks, and throwing a couple to Hana before hitting Juniper in the back and the sides of her face multiple times with the drumsticks.

"Hana and Spinelli playing some beats on Juniper's body!" Bob exclaimed as Spinelli joined in on the beating, the two hitting Juniper in every available area of her body with the drumsticks. Hana then kicked Juniper in the leg, allowing Spinelli to run the ropes, and hit Juniper in the back with a Shining Wizard. Hana ran the ropes and hit a Running Leg Drop across the throat before putting her in a seated position. Spinelli then ran the ropes and hit a Sliding Seated Clothesline to the throat. Spinelli and Hana then picked Juniper up, attempting to hit her with a Double Spinebuster, but Juniper responded by hitting both women with elbows to the top of the head.

"Juniper fighting out of the Double Spinebuster, hoping to finally get momentum back on her side!" Kotoko exclaimed as Juniper grabbed Hana, and hit her with the June Effect (Running Flying High Knee) to the side of the head. Spinelli then grabbed Juniper from behind, but Juniper responded with several back elbows to the side of the head before attempting to throw her into the ropes, but the crowd exploded into cheers as Spinelli hit a Pop-Up Facebuster onto Juniper. The crowd continued cheering as Spinelli started climbing up to the top rope, but while she was trying to balance herself on the top rope, Jiro came out of the wreckage of the percussion table, and hit Spinelli in the back of the neck with a wooden cabasa, sending her falling off the top turnbuckle.

"Jiro coming back in a big way, sending Spinelli falling off the top rope!" Bob exclaimed as Jiro rushed into the ring, and stomped the back of Spinelli's head multiple times before jumping onto the ring apron and hitting Hana with a Running Knee, sending her falling to the floor on the outside. The crowd continued booing as Jiro picked Spinelli up, and hit her with the Sound Off (Gutwrench Powerbomb). Jiro then grabbed Spinelli, slapped her in the back of the head several times, and locked in the Silencer (Kirifuda Clutch). Spinelli tried her best to fight out of it, but after a moment, and Juniper hitting Hana with a Kneeling Superkick to prevent her from helping, Spinelli had no choice but to tap out.

*Bell Rings*

"Here are your winners, the team of Juniper Lee and 'The Queen of Song Style' Jiro Kyoka!" Tony Chimel announced as Jiro continued to choke Spinelli out with the Silencer (Kirifuda Clutch). The referee tried to pull Jiro away, but Jiro started screaming in Spinelli's ear never to mess with her or Juniper again. Hana once again attempted to try and help her partner, but Juniper kicked her in the back of the head and hit her with the Underworld Plunge (Reverse Tombstone Piledriver) onto the pieces of the xylophone that were still scattered around the ring.

"Juniper and Jiro trying to send a message after this match; it wasn't about winning to them, it was about showing the rest of the Feast or Fired field what they can expect!" Striker exclaimed as the referee was finally able to pull Jiro off of Spinelli, who started coughing up blood. Juniper and Jiro raised each other's arms up, the crowd booing as Jiro yelled at the camera to focus on them. The crowd continued booing as Jiro told the audience at home and the rest of the women involved in the Feast or Fired match, saying that what happened tonight was a warning to the rest of the wrestlers in the Feast or Fired. Jiro continued by saying that she may be a talented musician and a great singer, but she's also a dangerous wrestler and she's going to show as much at StarShow.

"Jiro and Juniper sending a verbal warning along with the physical warning!" Kotoko exclaimed as Juniper continued the promo, saying that she and Jiro are the best women on Intensity, and when they win the Feast or Fired briefcases, they're going to dominate the rest of the Intensity women's division. The crowd continued booing as Juniper kicked Hana in the side of the head before leaving the ring with Jiro following her. Medical personnel tended to Spinelli in the ring while the referee helped Hana back to her feet, with Jiro and Juniper continuing to mock their opponents on the outside.

"Jiro and Juniper better hope that they get those briefcases at StarShow because they're making plenty of enemies thanks to their big mouths," Striker explained as the camera panned away while Jiro and Juniper high-fived each other and continued talking about how StarShow was going to be their moment.

The camera panned to the backstage area, where Victor Calavera was standing next to Marcel Galliard with a microphone in his hands.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the newest BTWF signee, Marcel Galliard, who will be in the men's Feast or Fired match. Last week, you and Gaara got into an altercation. How is that affecting your game plan for the Feast or Fired match?" Victor asked. Marcel straightened out his tie, smirked, and responded to Victor while patting him on the back.

"It doesn't. My goal is still to win one of those briefcases to start my BTWF career on the highest note possible. If Gaara wants to get in my way, then he's more than welcome to try, but he's going to get his ass kicked," Marcel said with a shrug, but before Victor could ask another question, Gaara bum-rushed Marcel, tackling him into the wall before hitting him with multiple punches to the side of the head. However, Marcel fought back with multiple head punches of his own, sending him staggering while holding his head.

"I did say you could try, motherfucker!" Marcel exclaimed before tackling Gaara to the ground, the two punched each other while they were on the ground, and Gaara responded by hitting Marcel in the side of the head with several headbutts before grabbing him by the throat, and attempting to lift him over his head. However, Marcel responded with several headbutts of his own before referees came by to pull the two apart, despite Gaara grabbing a handful of Marcel's hair, and attempting to pull him away.

"You're not gonna have these referees to back you up at StarShow, bitch!" Gaara yelled back before the security were able to finally pull Gaara and Marcel away from each other and out of the backstage interview area. The camera then panned to Sunny Bridge's office, where Scott Stanford knocked on the door with one hand while having a microphone in the other hand. After a moment, a much calmer Sunny Bridges opened the door and smiled down at Scott giving him a fist bump before Scott started the interview.

"Mr. Bridges, if I may ask…what the hell is going on?" Scott asked, getting straight to the point. Sunny sighed before taking a deep breath and nodding.

"Overhaul has officially quit being the General Manager of Intensity. He's still working for the BTWF, though I don't know what he'll be doing next," Sunny explained, which Scott responded to with a nod before asking another question.

"Has there been word as to who is going to be replacing Overhaul as your new co-GM?" Scott asked.

"Honestly…I have no idea who that's going to be. The Board of Directors told me that they were gonna go through the names of available people to see who would be the best fit," Sunny explained before Scott took the microphone back.

"Is there anything else you'd like to announce before we head to our main event of World Heavyweight Champion Katsuki Bakugo vs. Bickslow?" Scott asked, and after a moment, Sunny nodded.

"A couple of weeks ago, Gourry Gabriev put his in-ring career on the line against Bakugo for the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship and lost. We didn't give him the sendoff a legend like him deserves, so at StarShow, he will be getting the in-ring sendoff he should've gotten on Intensity," Sunny explained, Scott beaming at the news.

"Well, that just sounds wonderful, Mr. Bridges. Thank you for your time and best of-!" Scott said, about to close out the interview before he and Sunny heard a scuffle behind them. When the camera turned behind them, they caught BTWF Women's Champion 'Amazing' Luna Collins and Minatsuki Takami brawling throughout the hallway. Luna clubbed Minatsuki in the back multiple times, throwing her into a wall before throwing her into the garage. Luna followed her into the garage and attempted to throw her into a car, but Minatsuki reversed the throw, sending Luna flying into the hood of the car.

"I'm going to make sure you pay for everything you've done to me, Luna! You're going to pay in blood!" Minatsuki exclaimed before jumping up onto the car hood and slamming the back of Luna's head into the hood multiple times. Minatsuki then picked Luna up and attempted to hit her with the Bloody Sunday DDT into the windshield, but Luna responded by tackling Minatsuki through the windshield, sending both women falling into the car. However, the brawl continued on as Luna grabbed Minatsuki by the hair, and hit her with multiple forearms to the side of the head while Minatsuki slammed the side of Luna's head into the dashboard.

"Security! Separate those two immediately!" Sunny exclaimed as multiple security guards came rushing to the scene while Luna smashed Minatsuki's face into the steering wheel. The camera panned away as security managed to open both front doors of the car and pulled both women away from each other.

The camera panned back to the stage, where 'Way of the Fist' by Five Finger Death Punch played, the crowd booing loudly as Katsuki Bakugo came stomping out of the back with the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship around his waist. However, rather than the scornful frown he usually had on his face, Bakugo had a Cheshire grin on his face, the crowd continuing to jeer at him as he showed off his BTWF World Heavyweight Championship.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, representing the NWO, from Musutafu Japan, he is the BTWF World Heavyweight Champion, Katsuki Bakugo!" Tony Chimel announced, the crowd continuing to boo and chant 'Deku!' at him. However, the chants for his former friend and future StarShow opponent didn't seem to bother Bakugo, as he just laughed at the fans while stomping to the ring. Bakugo made it to the ringside area, took off his vest, and raised it over his head, the crowd continuing to boo at Bakugo before he threw it down to the ground and made his walk to the ring.

"I have never seen Bakugo this happy before, and it's honestly pretty unnerving," Striker noted as Bakugo stomped up the steel steps, climbed up to the top rope, took the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship off from around his waist, and raised it over his head along with his other first. The crowd continued chanting 'Deku!' at Bakugo, but Bakugo once again seemed unfazed by the chants before jumping down from the top turnbuckle and continuing to show off the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship before sliding it through the bottom rope and out of the ring.

"You'd think with the entire NWO being banned from the building and the fact that the crowd has been showering him with 'Deku' chants, he'd be fuming. He must've gotten some good news," Kotoko responded as Bakugo went into the corner, awaiting his opponent's arrival. After a moment, the crowd began cheering as 'Addicted to Pain' by Alterbridge played throughout the arena. After another moment, Bickslow walked out of the back with a smirk on his face, though he turned his head around the arena and behind him for a quick second.

"And his opponent, from Magnolia, Fiore, Bickslow!" Tony Chimel announced, the crowd continuing to cheer as Bickslow walked down the entranceway and stopped halfway before pounding and slapping the ground. Bickslow then jumped up and flexed while letting out a battle cry, causing an array of pyro to go off behind him, the crowd continuing to cheer as Bickslow slapped his chest several times before shooting his fist up and continuing to walk down the entranceway. Bickslow high-fived several fans in the front row, though looked around the arena for any signs of Zancrow. Bakugo, meanwhile, looked at the scene in front of him with the smile from his entrance still plastered on his face.

"Speaking of people not acting like themselves, look at Bickslow. He seems really worried about what Zancrow said to him earlier tonight," Bob explained as Bickslow made it to the ringside area, and flexed at Bakugo while staring a hole through him. Bakugo continued looking at Bickslow with a beaming grin on his face, telling him that he was gonna get his ass kicked no matter how many times he flexed at him. Bickslow then jumped up onto the apron, the crowd continuing to cheer as he shook the ropes, causing pyro to go off from the corners before he jumped over the top rope.

"I can't say I really blame Bickslow either, given the fact that Zancrow was literally digging a grave for him," Striker responded as Bickslow walked to the center of the ring, slapped the mat a couple of times, and flexed once again. The referee checked to see if both men were ready, and when they confirmed that they were, the referee told the timekeeper to ring the bell and start the match. When the match started, Bickslow and Bakugo looked as though they were going to lock up, but Bakugo responded with a swift kick to the gut. The crowd booed as Bakugo hit several punches to Bickslow's chin before attempting to throw him into the corner, but Bickslow was able to keep his feet on the ground. The crowd began cheering as Bickslow threw Bakugo into another corner hard.

"Bakugo trying for an early sneak attack on Bickslow, but it didn't work out the way he hoped," Kotoko explained as Bickslow attempted to run into the corner for a corner Clothesline, but Bakugo responded by lifting both his knees up, sending Bickslow's face crashing into his knees. The crowd continued booing as Bakugo kicked Bickslow in the knee a couple of times before pushing him into the corner, and attempting to hit him with a Running Corner Forearm, which Bickslow dodged, sending Bakugo crashing into the corner. Bickslow turned Bakugo around and rammed his shoulder into his chest with multiple Shoulder Thrusts before hitting Bakugo with multiple forearms to the head.

"Bickslow may be seeing Zancrow in his vision right now, but he has to be careful unless he wants to be disqualified," Striker explained as the referee pulled Bickslow away from Bakugo, and while the referee was distracted, Bakugo poked Bickslow in the eye. The crowd booed as Bakugo jumped out of the corner, put Bickslow in a Side Headlock, and hit him with multiple punches to the side of the head. Bickslow attempted to lift Bakugo up for a Back Suplex, but Bakugo responded with even more punches to the head, allowing him to get his feet back on the ground, and allowing him to continue applying the pressure with the Side Headlock. Bickslow eventually fell to his knees while Bakugo was yelling at the booing crowd that Bickslow wasn't as strong as he was.

"The repeated punches to the top of Biclslow's head have stunned him, allowing Bakugo to put him on one knee with that Side Headlock due to Bickslow not having the balance necessary to stay on both feet!" Kotoko exclaimed as after another moment, Bickslow got back on his feet, the crowd cheering as he dropped Bakugo with a Spinning Back Suplex. Bakugo got back to his feet and attempted to hit Bickslow with a punch, but the crowd cheered as Bickslow blocked the punch, and hit him with several of his own. Bickslow then threw Bakugo into the corner, the crowd cheering as he ran after Bakugo and hit him with a Running Corner Clothesline. However, he didn't leave the corner as Bickslow continued hitting Bakugo with multiple Standing Corner Clotheslines to the chest and throat.

"If those punches stunned Bickslow, I don't want to know what those Clotheslines are doing to Bakugo right now," Bob responded as Bickslow attempted to pull Bakugo out for a Short-Arm Clothesline, but Bakugo ducked, and hit Bickslow with a Back Kick to the gut. The crowd booed as Bakugo attempted once again to hit Bickslow with another Running Clothesline, but Bickslow responded with a Knee Chop Block. The crowd continued cheering as Bickslow picked Bakugo back up, and hit him with a Face Slam, sending Bakugo bouncing on the floor before holding his face in pain. The crowd continued cheering as Bickslow mounted Bakugo and hit him with multiple punches to the side of the head before the referee pulled him away.

"Bickslow throwing Bakugo around, and leveling him with punches!" Striker exclaimed as Bickslow picked Bakugo back up, and attempted to hit him with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex, but Bakugo was able to keep himself on his feet and fought back with several headbutts to the side of the face. However, the crowd exploded into cheers as Bickslow shook his head, and threw Bakugo overhead with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex. Bakugo got back to his feet, and Bickslow attempted an early Spear, but the crowd booed as Bakugo threw him out of the ring, using Bickslow's momentum against him. Bickslow landed on the apron, but the crowd continued booing as Bakugo hit him with a Superkick to the side of the head, sending him falling onto one knee.

"What a Superkick by Bakugo! The Young Bucks would have to give him his props for that one!" Bob exclaimed as Bakugo knocked Bickslow off the apron with a Kneeling Superkick. Bakugo pointed at a stunned Bickslow on the outside, and looked into the camera, yelling that he hoped Deku was watching. Bakugo then waited for Bickslow to get back to his feet, and when he did, Bakugo ran the ropes and attempted a Suicide Dive, but the crowd exploded into cheers as Bickslow caught Bakugo in mid-air, and put him above his head in a Military Press.

"Look at the unbelievable strength of Bickslow! He caught Bakugo off that Suicide Dive with the greatest of ease!" Kotoko exclaimed as Bickslow hit Bakugo with a Military Press Slam, sending his back bouncing off the padded concrete. The crowd continued cheering as Bickslow picked Bakugo up by the hair, and slammed his face into the top of the steel steps multiple times before throwing him into the barricade. Bickslow then ran at Bakugo, hitting him with a Running Shoulder Thrust before throwing him overhead with another Belly-to-Belly Suplex. Bickslow then ran up the steel steps and flexed for the cheering crowd while sticking his tongue out.

Ref: 1…2…3

"Bickslow absolutely dominating Bakugo on the outside, even finding time to pose for the cheering fans!" Striker exclaimed as Bickslow balanced himself on the top of the steel steps, and when Bakugo got back to his feet, Bickslow dived off the top of the steel steps, hitting him with a Diving Shoulder Tackle. Bickslow then picked Bakugo up, and put him in a Fireman's Carry, attempting to throw him into the steel ring post, but Bakugo escaped Bickslow's grasp and attempted to push him into the steel ring post. However, Bickslow was able to stop himself, and when Bakugo ran at Bickslow, he hit Bakugo in the side of the head with a Back Elbow, sending him staggering back.

Ref: …4…5

"Bakugo able to save himself from disaster, but that doesn't mean Bickslow's done!" Bob exclaimed as Bickslow attempted another Spear onto a stunned Bakugo, but he jumped over Bickslow, sending him sliding onto the floor, and Bakugo attempted to hit him with another Kneeling Superkick. However, Bickslow grabbed his legs, and attempted to hit him with a Bickslow Bomb (Batista Bomb) into the apron, but the crowd booed as Bakugo dug his fingers into Bickslow's eye. The crowd continued booing as Bakugo stood on the apron, jumped onto the middle rope, and attempted to hit Bickslow with a Springboard Crossbody, but the crowd cheered as Bickslow once again caught him in mid-air.

Ref: …6…7

"Bickslow once again catching Bakugo! His strength is almost superhuman!" Kotoko exclaimed as Bickslow turned around, and threw Bakugo back into the ring with a Fallaway Slam. Bickslow gave the cheering crowd another flex before jumping back up to the ring apron, climbing back up to the top rope. Bickslow waited for Bakugo to get back to his feet, and when he did, Bickslow attempted to hit Bakugo with a Diving Clothesline, but the crowd booed as Bakugo caught Bickslow in mid-air, hitting him with a Double Knee Armbreaker. The crowd continued booing as Bakugo threw Bickslow into the steel ring post arm first, smirking as he took a couple of breaths to get his bearings back.

"Bakugo might've just changed the complexion of this match, going after Bickslow's arm!" Kotoko exclaimed as Bakugo walked out onto the apron, grabbing his right arm, and smashing it against the steel ring post multiple times. The crowd continued booing as Bakugo grabbed Bickslow's right arm, and started pulling it over the top rope, Bickslow yelling out in pain as the referee threatened to disqualify Bakugo. Bakugo let go of Bickslow's arm but responded by backing away, and hitting Bickslow in the side of the head with a Running Knee Strike, sending Bickslow staggering back into the ring. Bakugo then climbed back up to the top rope and hit Bickslow with a Missile Dropkick to the side of the head before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2.

"A close two count there, but Bakugo's got a sick smile on his face, knowing that he's still got a big target on Bickslow's body!" Striker exclaimed as Bakugo hit a Basement Dropkick right to the base of Bickslow's arm. The crowd continued booing as Bakugo began hitting Bickslow with the Ronnie Garvin Stomps, starting with the legs, before going up to the chest and the left arm. Bakugo stomped on Bickslow's face and forehead a couple of times, the crowd booing louder as Bakugo repeatedly stomped all over Bickslow's right arm, from the hand to the shoulder. Bakugo then pressed his heel on Bickslow's right arm, and basked in the negative reaction from the crowd, telling them that this was exactly what was going to happen to Deku at StarShow.

"Bakugo may be in control right now, but he needs to put Midoriya in the back of his mind for this match so that he can leave with the win," Kotoko advised as Bakugo ran the ropes, and hit a Running Leg Drop across Bickslow's throat. Bickslow attempted to get back to his feet, but Bakugo kicked him in the right arm several times before grabbing him by the hair, and hitting him with a Running Hotshot over the top rope, sending Bickslow flopping down, draping his head over the top rope. Bakugo stayed on the apron, and hit another Hotshot, this time on Bickslow's right arm, sending him staggering away before he turned Bickslow around, and hit him with a Hotshot Neckbreaker over the top rope.

"Bakugo using the rope to his advantage, and I have to be impressed at the level of ring-awareness Bakugo's showing here," Striker explained as Bakugo climbed up to the top rope again, and hit a grounded Bickslow with a Diving Elbow Drop across the chest before going for the pin, making sure to press his right arm down.

Ref: 1…2…

Bakugo looked surprised that Bickslow kicked out, and he immediately responded by running the ropes, and hitting a Running Pinpoint Elbow across the throat.

"Bakugo's back on the attack already after the failed pin, I like that, reminds me of my younger days going up against All Might," Bob said while reminiscing about his battles with All Might before Bakugo stomped on Bickslow's elbow multiple times before putting him in a Keylock, the crowd booing as Bakugo yelled at the crowd that Bickslow was going to give up like Deku did. The crowd booed Bakugo and chanted for Bickslow as he refused to give up, and attempted to make it to the ropes, but Bakugo responded by dragging Bickslow away, putting him on his stomach, and transitioning into a Hammerlock.

"Bakugo continuing to go after the arm, which is smart considering that Bickslow's offense is largely power-based. This could render moves like the Bickslow Bomb ineffective," Striker explained as Bickslow continued refusing to give up, and Bakugo responded by pulling the arm further back, threatening to break Bickslow's arm if he didn't give up. Bickslow responded by telling him to fuck himself before beginning to stand up, the crowd exploding into cheers as Bakugo looked shocked that Bickslow was back to his feet, and Bickslow began hitting Bakugo in the side of the head with several Back Elbows before turning around, and hitting him with several forearms to the side of the head.

"I'm not sure it's a good idea for Bickslow to use his right arm for strikes at the moment," Bob noted as Bickslow attempted to send Bakugo into the corner, but he countered by throwing Bickslow into the corner. Bakugo attempted a Running Corner Clothesline, but Bickslow responded with a Big Boot to the side of the head before pulling himself up to the middle rope. However, the crowd booed as Bakugo turned around, jumped up to the middle turnbuckle, and threw him back down to the mat with a Middle Rope Japanese Arm Drag before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

The crowd continued to boo as Bakugo locked Bickslow in a Fujiwara Armbar immediately after he raised his arm off the mat, pulling back as much as he can.

"Back to the arm submission here! A Fujiwara Armbar right to the center of the ring!" Kotoko exclaimed as Bickslow immediately attempted to drag himself to the ropes, but Bakugo responded by headbutting Bickslow in the side of the head multiple times before pulling back on the Fujiwara Armbar even more. Bakugo yelled at the booing crowd that he was going to take Bickslow's arm as a souvenir like he did with Deku's dignity and Gourry's career, the crowd booing even more as Bickslow looked as though he was going to fade from the pain. However, the crowd continued cheering again as Bickslow was able to drag himself to the ropes, finally able to grab the bottom rope, forcing the referee to break Bakugo's Fujiwara Armbar.

"Bickslow once again escapes the submission, but despite Bakugo's good mood earlier today, he's beginning to get frustrated again," Kotoko noted as Bakugo glared at Bickslow as he tried to get back to his feet, and Bakugo responded by hitting a Running Jumping Knee to the face of Bickslow before throwing him away from the ropes with a Running Bulldog before going for the pinfall once again.

Ref: 1…2…

Bakugo glared at Bickslow once he lifted his shoulder off the mat again, and Bakugo decided to start climbing up to the top rope again, telling the jeering fans that he was ending things right now. Bakugo dived off the top rope, attempting to hit Bickslow with a Frog Splash, but the crowd exploded into cheers again as Bickslow rolled out of the way, heading into the corner while Bakugo bounced off the canvas with the force of his dive.

"Bickslow finally able to turn the tide, rolling out of the way of a Bakugo Frog Splash!" Striker exclaimed as Bickslow went into the corner to get some feeling back in his arm. Bakugo staggered back to his feet, and ran into the corner, attempting to hit another Running Corner Forearm, but Bickslow responded with a Big Boot to the side of the head. Bakugo staggered back, and Bickslow responded by stomping on the ground several times, the crowd clapping along as Bickslow exploded out of the corner, turning Bakugo inside out with a left-armed Clothesline. The crowd continued cheering as Bickslow hit Bakugo with two more Clotheslines, a Big Boot, and a Backbreaker/Fallaway Slam combination.

"Bickslow has adrenaline coursing through his veins, and adrenaline is the best painkiller in a match!" Striker exclaimed as Bakugo staggered back to his feet with a hand over his back, and attempted to hit him with a Chokeslam. However, Bakugo was able to escape it, kicked him in the gut, and attempted to hit him with a Stunner, but Bickslow pushed him off. When Bakugo rebounded off of the ropes, Bickslow hit Bakugo with a Black Hole Slam, the crowd continuing to cheer as Bickslow ran the ropes, and hit a Jumping Leg Drop across Bakugo's throat before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2..

"He may not be feeling the pain, but Bickslow has to be careful. If he does enough damage to his arm, Bickslow could be out of action for a long while," Bob noted as Bickslow went into the corner, and waited for Bakugo to get back to his feet. When Bakugo did, Bickslow attempted to hit him with a Spear once again, but Bakugo responded by dodging and throwing him into the corner. However, Bickslow stopped himself from crashing into the corner, and when Bakugo attempted to hit him with a corner strike, Bakugo knocked him back down with a Big Boot and hit him with a Vader Bomb before going for another pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"We don't see Bickslow hit the Vader Bomb all that often, but it was effective!" Kotoko exclaimed as Bickslow grabbed Bakugo, and attempted to hit him with the Bickslow Bomb (Batista Bomb). However, when Bickslow picked him up, Bakugo punched his arm multiple times, the crowd booing as Bakugo was able to escape his grasp, ran the ropes, and knocked Bakugo down with a Lou Thesz Press, hitting him with multiple punches to the side of the head. Bickslow pushed him off and attempted to hit Bakugo with a Clothesline, but he ducked, kicked Bickslow in the gut, and hit him with a Stunner before going for the pinfall.

Ref: 1…2…

"That Stunner was vicious, but still not enough to put Bickslow away!" Bob exclaimed as Bakugo mounted Bickslow, and hit him with multiple punches to the side of the head before picking him up, and attempting to hit him with the AP Shot (Forward Russian Legsweep). However, Bickslow responded by putting Bakugo on his shoulders, the crowd cheering as Bickslow, trying to ignore the pain in his arm, hit him with a Rolling Fireman's Carry before putting him in a seated position, ran the ropes, and hit him with a Big Boot to the face. The crowd continued cheering as Bickslow picked Bakugo back up, and hit him with a Spinebuster before going into the corner, waiting for Bakugo to pick himself back up.

"Bickslow dominating Bakugo late into the match, but he's still holding his arm in pain! Can he keep his arm up just long enough so that he can finish the match!?" Kotoko asked as Bakugo got back to his feet, and Bickslow responded by turning Bakugo inside out with a Spear, but the crowd booed as Bakugo rolled out of the ring while holding his chest. Bickslow ran his hands through his hair in frustration before running the ropes, and vaulting over the top rope, hitting a Vaulting Crossbody onto Bakugo, the crowd cheering as Bickslow hissed when he landed on his arm on the outside. Bickslow then grabbed Bakugo by the hair and slammed his face a couple of times into the steel ring apron before throwing him back into the ring.

"Bickslow's strong as hell, but he's also got athleticism that you would not believe!" Bob exclaimed as Bickslow attempted to go into the ring, but the crowd exploded into cheers as black flames shot out of the corners of the turnbuckles. Bickslow looked shocked before sliding back into the ring and attempting to hit Bakugo with another Spear, but Bakugo pushed the referee in the way, causing Bakugo to nail the referee with a Spear. Bakugo then turned Bickslow around and hit him with a Stunner before putting him in position for the Howitzer Impact (Sit-Out Package Piledriver), but Bickslow was able to throw him overhead with a Back Body Drop and hit him with a Spinebuster.

"The referee's been crushed thanks to that Spear, but Bickslow is able to take Bakugo back down with a Spinebuster!" Striker exclaimed as Bickslow stomped on the ground multiple times, but the crowd exploded into cheers once again as the canvas of the ring began ripping, revealing Zancrow climbing up into the ring. Bickslow turned around and attempted to stop Zancrow dead in his tracks with some punches to the side of the head, but Zancrow responded with multiple strikes of his own to the side of the head and the chest. Zancrow then attempted to hit Bickslow with a Flame God's Penalty (Damian Priest's South of Heaven), but Bickslow responded with multiple back elbows and attempted to throw Zancrow out of the ring, but Bakugo was able to sneak attack Bickslow and hit him with a Chop Block to the back of the knee.

"Zancrow just came into the ring and attacked Bickslow! Bickslow isn't going to back down though, and tried to take down the fight to Zancrow before Bakugo took him down!" Striker exclaimed as Zancrow took advantage of this, hitting Bickslow with a Flame God's Penalty (Damian Priest's South of Heaven). However, the referee began waking up, so Bakugo responded by throwing Zancrow out of the ring with a Clothesline over the top rope, grabbed Bickslow, and hit him with a Howitzer Impact (Sit-Out Package Piledriver) before going for the pinfall.

*Bell Rings*

"Here is your winner, representing the NWO, he is the BTWF World Heavyweight Champion, Katsuki Bakugo!" Tony Chimel announced, the crowd exploding into boos as Bakugo shot both his fists in the air while the ringside attendant handed the referee the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship. When Bakugo got his BTWF World Heavyweight Championship, Zancrow slid back into the ring, and glared at Bakugo, but the crowd booed louder as Bakugo told Zancrow that he wasn't going to waste his time fighting him, and left the ring. Zancrow responded by pointing at Bakugo, and telling him that he would be next before picking Bickslow up and hitting him with a Leaping Tombstone Piledriver.

"Bakugo once again able to take advantage of the issues between Bickslow and Zancrow to win another main event here on Intensity!" Kotoko exclaimed as Zancrow knelt down next to Bickslow, and whispered in his ear that his brush with death was going to come at StarShow and that Bickslow should cherish the days he had left before the lights in the arena went out. When the lights came on a second later, Bickslow was still lying down in the middle of the ring with Zancrow gone. Bakugo looked annoyed at what had just happened before demanding that Tony Chimel handed him his microphone, the crowd booing and chanting 'Fuck you, Bakugo!' before Bakugo started smacking the top of the microphone.

"In a few short nights, I finally have the chance to take Deku out of the sport of professional wrestling once and for all! Deku should never have gotten in this business again, and the luck he's had since coming to the BTWF is about to run out at StarShow!" Bakugo exclaimed over the fans continuously booing him. Bakugo glared at the fans before producing a contract out from his tights and began opening it up. Bakugo then put the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship around his waist before climbing up on top of the commentary table and continuing his spiel.

"Personally, I don't give a shit about what happened with Overhaul and Sunny, but before he quit, Overhaul gave me this contract for my match with Deku at StarShow! Our match will not only be for MY BTWF World Heavyweight Championship, but we're going to fight inside Hell in a Cell!" Bakugo exclaimed, the crowd exploding into cheers at the mention of one of the most dangerous stipulation matches in professional wrestling. Bakugo smirked at the response the Hell in a Cell match was getting, but he decided to keep talking anyway.

"So Deku, I know your suspension is up, and I know you're in the building somewhere! The trainers just got that piece of crap Bickslow out of the ring, so come into the ring with me and sign this damn contract! My name's already on it, so all you have to do is sign it, and I'll put you into early retirement at StarShow!" Bakugo exclaimed, the crowd chanting 'Deku!' the whole time Bakugo jumped back into the ring, with the contract and the microphone still in his hands. After a moment of the crowd continuing to chant 'Deku!' and 'Bakugo Sucks!', Bakugo smirked and put the mic back up to his mouth again.

"Oh, what!? You're not gonna come out, Deku!? You're scared!? You're scared that I'm going to show everyone that you're the loser I've always said you were! You scared that I'm going to expose you as the choke artist you've always been!" Bakugo yelled out to the crowd, the fans continuing to chant 'Fuck you, Bakugo!' at him.

"Oh, wait, that's not why you're scared. You're scared that I'm going to show your little girl, Eri, that her father is nothing but a loser. Her father is nothing but a coward. But…I don't know why she'd even bother with a worthless sack of crap like you. She'd be better off with that drug-addict mother and jobless father she had before you and Chipmunk Cheeks Ochako took her away from the orphanage!" Bakugo exclaimed with a lot of venom in his mouth, the crowd exploding into boos and chanting 'Piece of Shit!' at him. Bakugo yelled at the crowd that he was right before continuing his rant.

"So where the hell are you, you piece of shit!? What do I have to say to you to make you come out!? Do I have to say your wife's been cheating on you with every loser on Octane!? Do I have to say that your mother was a slut that was such a fatass that she couldn't get a dick in her mouth!? Do I have to say that your father was nothing but a deadbeat who would've run off even if he hadn't died!? Come out here, you piece of shit, and sign the damn contract!" Bakugo yelled out, looking around the arena with a glare, the crowd continuing to rain down boos on Bakugo. Bakugo then threw the microphone down hard enough for it to break, yelling at the camera that Deku was nothing but a coward and a loser and that he was going to be the BTWF World Heavyweight Champion for a long time to come. However, the crowd exploded to cheers as Izuku Midoriya ran through the crowd, glaring a hole through Bakugo.

"Oh boy…I think Bakugo might regret all that bullshit he's been spewing, pardon my language!" Bob exclaimed as Bakugo continued ranting about Midoriya while Midoriya slid into the ring. Bakugo went into the corner, yelling into the camera that he was better than Deku in every way, but the crowd exploded into cheers as Midoriya hit Bakugo with a Detroit Smash (Helluva Kick) to the back of the head. The crowd continued cheering and chanting for Midoriya before he hit Bakugo with multiple punches and forearms to the back of the head before Bakugo escaped the ring, the crowd booing as Bakugo ran out of the ring and to the ringside area, holding the side of his head in pain. Midoriya, on the other hand, picked up the HIAC match contract that Bakugo left in the ring, pulled a pen out of his pocket, and signed the contract without hesitation, the crowd exploding into cheers as Midoriya threw the contract at Bakugo. The crowd chanted 'Welcome Back' as Midoriya went to the ropes, and asked Tony Chimel for his microphone, which the ring announcer happily agreed to.

"Bakugo, you absolute piece of shit! I've had to hear you these past several weeks slander my name, and the name of my family, and for what!? So you can prove some point about me being a coward? Well, guess what? I'm not a coward! I'm back, and I'm going to StarShow, and we're going to be locked inside Hell in a Cell! And I'm walking out of the Cell and StarShow with the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship!" Midoriya exclaimed, the crowd continuing to cheer and chant for Midoriya while Bakugo yelled from the outside, screaming at Midoriya that he wasn't going to take the title away from him.

"You've been on Cloud 9 this past month, Bakugo, but trust me, at StarShow, I'm not only going to drag you back down to Earth but send you straight to Hell!" Midoriya exclaimed before throwing the microphone at Bakugo. Bakugo continued yelling at Midoriya as Midoriya continued glaring at the BTWF World Heavyweight Champion, a smirk slowly forming on his face. Midoriya, while Bakugo was still screaming at him, told Bakugo that the World Heavyweight Championship was his. The show faded to black as Midoriya motioned around his waist, and once again told an irate Bakugo that the World Heavyweight Championship was coming home with him.
