The show opens up with footage from BTWF StarShow, showing scenes such as Izuku Midoriya raising the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship while standing on Hell in a Cell, Katsuki Bakugo laying in a pool of his own blood in the ring, Kilik standing over the beaten down Nation of Domination 2.0 after losing the BTWF International Championship match, Minatsuki Takami raising the BTWF Women's Championship over her head while hugging Lauren Gacy, Edward Elric raising the BTWF International Championship, Team RWBY hugging after their victory over the Conglomerate, and Crona Gorgon celebrating with the BTWF Cruiserweight Championship over his head with only one hand.
"At StarShow, a new era descended on the BTWF," a voiceover narrated as the footage also showed Gray Fullbuster & Lyon Bastia winning the BTWF Tag Team Championships, Midoriya celebrating the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship victory with his family, Eren Jeager winning the BTWF Hardcore Championship in a shocking victory, Kuro Sakuragawa winning the Cruiserweight #1 contenders Gauntlet match, Gaara and Marcel raising the BTWF Feast or Famine briefcases over their heads, and Kilik beating down Huey Freeman.
"However, the new era have some new foes in their wake, trying to get the same glory that our current champions have obtained," the voiceover continued. The footage continued, with Bakugo and Boze brawling with each other, Bickslow and Midoriya staring each other down, Zancrow and Gaara brawling throughout the arena, and Juvia attacking Lucy from behind after the steel cage match she had in the main event of the Intensity after StarShow. The footage also showed Syrus Trusdale looking on at Crona and Kuro while they talked and while they wrestled. The footage then showed Luna and Minatsuki talking trash to each other, with the challenge to the strap match being vocalized.
"The old guard are also after their championships, wanting to prove that what happened at StarShow was just a blip in their career," the voiceover continued as footage of Zancrow reverting back to his normal self before Gaara brawled with him in the interview room. The footage continued with Lisa and Louise brawling with Madison & Kim, the NWO attacking Eren, Raj, Wayne, Gray, and Lyon, Lucy, and Juvia calling each other out, and Bakugo threatening Midoriya that he would get the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship back around his waist one way or another.
"Here, in beautiful Mexico City, the BTWF fans will see the new breed of BTWF superstars show what they're capable of, and that they plan on ruling the roost for a long time!" the voiceover explained before the footage showed several BTWF superstars take a tour around the country, such as Izuku Midoriya, 'Amazing' Luna Collins, Juvia Lockser, Lucy Heartfilia, Edward Elric, Raj Saranga & Wayne Copeland, and Crona Gorgon. Several of those same superstars went on local news and radio stations, getting interviewed while hyping up the War of Attrition show.

"Championships on the line, friendships and relationships destroyed, legacies on the line, all taking place in the famous Arena Mexico, tonight!" the voiceover finished as the footage flashed between stills of the BTWF champions, their challengers, and the other wrestlers involved in non-title matches before panning back to the stage.
The camera focused on the stage while 'Smooth' by Santana (feat. Rob Thomas) played throughout the arena. The stage was elevated off the ground, with steps leading the ground down to the floor and aisleway. Underneath the platform, there were a couple more TitanTrons on both sides of the stairs. Pyro began shooting out of the elevated stage and the sides of the TitanTron on the elevated stage. The camera then panned around the arena, showcasing all the cheering fans in the sold-out arena who were chanting 'BTWF!' The camera went entirely around the arena, the crowd continuing to cheer and chant as the camera focused on the commentary team.
"Welcome to Night 2 of BTWF Guerra De Desgate, also known as War of Attrition! Live from Arena CDMX in Azcapotzalco Mexico City, Mexico, I'm Mauro Ranallo alongside my broadcast colleagues, Kotoko Iwanaga and Bob Belcher!" Mauro exclaimed as the camera panned away from the commentary table, to show all three commentators clearly, allowing Kotoko and Bob to wave to the camera.
"Thanks for the amazing introduction, as usual, Mauro! Tonight, we are ready to continue where Night 1 left off, and show off some of the best action in the Fanfiction Wrestling Multiverse!" Kotoko exclaimed as she rubbed her hands together in excitement.
"And we're going to start off the action tonight by determining the inaugural BTWF Intensity Women's Tag Team Championships!" Bob exclaimed as the camera panned to the front, where 'Dirty Work' by Halestorm played, the crowd booing as Linda Belcher led Louise Belcher and Lisa Simpson out of the back. Louise and Lisa turned to each other and shook each other's hands on the stage before giving Linda handshakes as well. Louise and Lisa looked at the BTWF Intensity Women's Tag Team Championships sitting on a pedestal, the crowd continuing to boo as Louise walked over to the belts, and ran her hands over the center plates of both.
"The feud between Louise & Lisa and Kim & Madison has gotten even more personal, especially thanks to Linda aiding her daughter and her friend in attacking Kim and Madison!" Mauro exclaimed as Louise and Lisa walked their way down the aisleway, with Linda following them. The crowd continued booing as Linda extolled the virtues of Lisa and Louise while continuing their walk to the ring, even getting in the faces of several fans booing them. Louise told the fans that those BTWF Intensity Women's Tag Team Championships were going to be theirs and that they were going to take their rightful place on top of the Intensity Women's Division.
"With Linda by their side, they have the advantage here tonight. I think we may have our first Intensity Women's Tag Team Champions right here!" Bob exclaimed, his bias showing clear as day as Kotoko and Mauro rolled their eyes while chuckling. Lisa and Louise stopped in the ringside area, fist-bumping each other before Linda joined in on the fist bump. The crowd continued booing as Lisa and Louise rolled into the ring from underneath the bottom rope at the same time. Louise and Lisa then rolled back to their feet and shook each other's hands in the middle of the ring while Linda applauded her girls from the outside.
"Hold on, Bob. I know you're relationship with Linda and Louise, but our job is to be as unbiased as we can," Kotoko responded as Louise and Lisa went into the corner and stretched as 'Resistance to Resilience' by Reluctant Hero played, the crowd exploding into cheers as Kim came bouncing out of the back with face paint on her face while Madison came walking after her, wearing her usual pink vest, matching cowgirl hat, and bejeweled cowbell. Kim bounced onto the center of the stage, with Madison standing next to her, shooting both of her fists up in the air. Madison then grabbed her cowbell and swung it around in the air as Kim jumped in place and did a Jeff Hardy-esque dance while pyro went off behind them.
"And here comes the feel-good story of the year already, Madison and Kim's reunion and opportunity to become the inaugural BTWF Intensity Women's Tag Team Champions!" Mauro exclaimed as Madison couldn't help but chuckle at Kim's little dance before the two began walking down the aisleway. Madison and Kim high-fived multiple fans in the front row from both sides, Madison and Kim stopping at the center of the aisleway to look back at the BTWF Intensity Women's Tag Team Championships on the podium, telling each other that those championships were theirs. Linda yelled at them from the ringside area, saying that they weren't going to become champions and that those belts belonged to Louise and Lisa.
"It was a nice story to see Madison make up for her past behavior, but…come on, Mauro, Louise, and Lisa finally becoming the faces of the BTWF Intensity Women's Division? THAT's the real story!" Bob exclaimed as Madison and Kim rolled their eyes at Linda's outburst before making their way to the ringside area. Madison and Kim high-fived each other before Kim ran to the ring, and jumped from the apron and over the top rope to roll into the ring while Madison slid into the ring from underneath the bottom rope. Linda continued yelling and ranting at Madison and Kim, prompting the former to walk up to Linda, and knock her down with a hard punch to the side of the face.
"Oh come on! Now that was unnecessary! Linda wasn't doing anything wrong!" Bob exclaimed in annoyance as Louise went to check on her mother while Lisa attempted to confront Madison and Kim about what happened. Madison and Kim argued back at Lisa before the referee separated the three women as the ring announcer came into the ring. Louise helped Linda out of the ring, checking on her one last time before moving next to Lisa, telling her that she was going to kick Madison's ass. The lights in the arena then went down as a spotlight appeared over both women before the ring announcer began the match introductions.
"The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall, and it is to determine the inaugural BTWF Intensity Women's Tag Team Champions! Introducing first, to my left, accompanied to the ring by Linda Belcher, the team of Lisa Simpson and Louise Belcher! And their opponents, from Atlanta Georgia, they are the team of Madison and Kim Chin!" Maya Ibuki announced as the crowd booed when Lisa and Louise were introduced but cheered loudly when Kim and Madison were introduced. The referee was then handed the BTWF Intensity Women's Tag Team Championships, raising them up in the air before handing them back to the ringside attendant. The referee then told the timekeeper to ring the bell, starting the match, Madison and Louise decided to start the match, and once the bell rang, the two immediately began exchanging punches with each other in the middle of the ring.
"Louise and Madison brawling right in the middle of the ring, and with what Louise has been doing to and saying about Madison, I can't be surprised that we're starting off this way!" Mauro exclaimed as Madison began winning the brawl, hitting Louise with multiple punches to the midsections and the gut. However, Louise managed to dodge Madison's attempt at a knockout blow, and stun the southern girl with a Spinning Back Elbow to the side of the head. Louise then ran the ropes and attempted to hit her with another Running Back Elbow, but Madison responded with a Jumping Clothesline, knocking Louise back down. The crowd continued cheering as Madison mounted Louise and hit her with multiple punches to the side of the head until the referee pulled her off. Madison picked Louise up by the hair and hit her with a couple more punches to the side of the head before pushing her into the corner. Madison then ran the ropes and hit Louise with a Running Corner Back Elbow before tagging Kim into the match. Madison and Kim threw Louise down with a Double Snapmare before Kim hit a Basement Dropkick to the back of Louise's head.
"What a vicious Dropkick by Kim, and I don't think she and Madison are done yet!" Kotoko exclaimed as Madison hit Louise with a Running Neck Snap before Kim ran into Madison's arms, and used the blonde girl's hands to hit an Assisted Twisting Moonsault onto Louise. Kim then picked Louise back up and hit her with several punches of her own before Louise threw Kim into the ropes. However, Kim responded by decking Lisa in the face, springboarding off the middle rope, and hitting Louise with a Springboard Clothesline. The crowd continued cheering as Kim picked Louise up, and threw her into the corner before running after her, and hitting her with a Running Corner Clothesline. Kim then knocked Louise into a seated position in front of the bottom turnbuckle with a CCS Enziguri. Kim ran the ropes and attempted to hit her with a Hesitation Dropkick, but Louise rolled out of the way, and before Kim could get back to her feet, Louise stomped on Kim's sides and back multiple times.
"Louise quickly takes advantage of Kim missing her Dropkick, making sure that Kim can't get back up!" Bob exclaimed with a smile on his face as Louise picked Kim up, and attempted to throw her into another corner, but Kim was able to block the impact with her foot and hit her with a Pele Kick to the top of the head before tagging Madison back into the match. The crowd cheered as Madison and Kim hit Louise with a Double Dropkick before Madison picked Kim up, the two hitting Louise in the throat with an Assisted Leg Drop. Madison then went for the pinfall, while staring a hole through Linda.

"Say whatever you want about Louise, and she won't care, but she's showing that it's not going to be that easy to beat her, especially when the stakes are as high of being the first-ever BTWF Intensity Women's Tag Team Champions!" Bob exclaimed as Madison picked Louise back up, and attempted to hit her with a Saito Suplex, but Louise responded with several punches to the top of the head. Those punches allowed her to escape Madison's grasp, and throw her into the corner, the crowd beginning to boo as Lisa got back onto the apron. Louise then hit Madison with a Running Corner European Uppercut before tagging Lisa into the match. Louise and Lisa then hit repeated knee strikes into Madison's gut before attempting to throw her out of the corner with a Double Suplex. However, Madison was able to land on her feet, the crowd cheering as she hit both Louise and Lisa with multiple punches, sending Louise falling back onto the apron with a Twisting Forearm to the face.
"Nice forearm to the face by Madison! Madison knows how to throw hands, and she's throwing them like hot potatoes at both Louise and Lisa!" Mauro exclaimed as Lisa turned Madison around, and attempted to hit her with a punch, but Madison dodged, and hit her with another Twisting Forearm to the back of the head, sending Lisa falling into the ropes. Madison then ran the ropes before tagging Kim back into the match and hitting Lisa in the back with a Leapfrog Body Guillotine. Lisa staggered away from the ropes, allowing Kim to knock Lisa back down with a Sling Blade, and hit her with a Standing Corkscrew Senton. The crowd continued cheering as Kim picked Lisa back up, and hit her with several forearms to the side of the head, but Lisa responded by hitting Kim with a couple of headbutts to the gut.
"Lisa using her head as a weapon, taking the air right out of Kim's lungs with those strikes!" Kotoko exclaimed as Lisa attempted to throw Kim into the ropes, but Kim responded by springboarding off the bottom rope and hitting Lisa with a Springboard Stunner. The crowd continued cheering as Kim ran the ropes, and threw Lisa out of the ring and onto the apron with a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors. The crowd continued cheering as Kim clapped along with the cheering crowd before running the ropes, and hitting Lisa with a Leaping Hurricanrana, sending Lisa bouncing off the padded concrete floor back first.
"Kim vaulted herself over the top rope to throw Lisa onto the floor with a Hurricanrana! Kim is the very definition of a risk-taker!" Mauro exclaimed as while Kim was celebrating, Louise ran off the apron and hit Kim with a Running Cannonball Senton, the crowd booing as Louise talked trash to the fans while mocking Kim. However, while Louise was talking trash to the fans, Madison jumped over the top rope, ran the ropes, and hit Louise with a Suicide Dive to the back, sending Louise crashing chest-first into the fan barricade. Madison didn't let up, as she began raining punches down onto the back of Louise's head while the crowd cheered and chanted for her.

"Madison better make sure that she doesn't get too mad, as a count-out won't win her those BTWF Intensity Women's Tag Team titles," Bob criticized as Linda began walking over to Madison, prompting the blonde girl to turn right around and begin to march towards the mother of Louise. Linda backed away, warning Madison not to touch her, with the blonde woman simply responded with a chuckle as she readied to hit her with another punch. However, before Madison could get her hands on Linda, Louise dropkicked the steel steps to the back of Madison's legs, sending the cowgirl falling to her knees, holding the back of her knee in pain. The crowd booed as Louise rushed over to Madison, and stomped on the back of her knee multiple times before picking her up, and hitting her with a Shin Breaker onto the steel steps, leaving Madison in a crumpled heap next to the steps.
Ref: …4…5
"Louise, thanks to her mother, may have just taken Madison out of this match for good!" Mauro exclaimed as when Kim got back to her feet, Louise rushed at her with a Running Double Axe Handle to the back of the head. Louise clubbed Kim while Lisa got back up to her feet, the crowd's boos growing louder as Lisa joined her tag partner on the beatdown. Lisa and Louise then picked Kim up, and hit her with a Double Falcon Arrow onto the ring apron, sending Kim's back bouncing off the steel. Louise and Lisa shook each other's hands, the crowd booing while Linda was applauding her girls from the other side of the ring, with Madison still lying in pain in front of her.
Ref: …6…7…8
"Kim may have to fight this match all alone, as Madison's still having trouble even moving her right leg!" Kotoko exclaimed as Lisa and Louise pushed Kim back into the ring. Lisa slid back into the ring, hitting Kim with several Sliding Elbow Drops to the back, the crowd continuing to boo as Lisa pushed Kim into the corner back first. Lisa then hit Kim with multiple Shoulder Thrusts before tagging Louise back into the match, the crowd booing louder as Lisa hit several European Uppercuts before ducking out of the way, allowing Louise to hit Kim with a Running Jumping Corner Forearm. Lisa and Louise then grabbed both of Kim's arms and wrung them both before hitting Kim with a double punch to the gut and hitting her with a Double Northern Lights Suplex.
"Louise and Lisa continuing to target the back of Kim, which is definitely going to slow down her high-flying!" Bob exclaimed as Louise turned Kim on her stomach, and hit her with a Jumping Knee Drop across the small of the back. Louise then pressed her knee against Kim's back while sarcastically applauding Kim, and telling the booing crowd to cheer for Kim now. Louise then jumped back up to her feet and hit another Jumping Knee Drop to Kim's back. Louise then picked Kim back up and hit her with several punches to the side of the head before turning her around, pushing Kim into the ropes, hitting her with several forearms to the back, and hitting Kim with a Back Suplex.
"Very nice Back Suplex by Louise, sending Kim onto the canvas with high speed!" Bob exclaimed as Louise hit a Basement Dropkick to the side of Kim's head before tagging Lisa into the match. Louise and Lisa then picked Kim up and hit her with a Double Slingshot Vertical Suplex, the crowd booing as Lisa ran the ropes, and hit a seated Kim with a Running Big Boot to the chin. Lisa then turned Kim on her stomach, allowing Louise to hit her with a Running Senton to the back, the crowd booing as she and Lisa shook each other's hands before hitting Kim with a Double Elbow Drop to the back.

"Louise and Lisa slowing the pace of this match down because they know that if Kim gets any chance, she's going to bounce around this ring and make it hard for either Lisa or Louise to catch her!" Mauro exclaimed as Louise picked Kim up by both her arms, and hit her with a Release Tiger Suplex. The crowd continued booing as Kim began pulling herself back up to her feet and Louise hit Kim with a Shotgun Dropkick with enough force to send her crashing into the corner. Louise then tagged Lisa back into the match, with Louise hitting a Running Corner Dropkick to the side of Kim's head before throwing her opponent out of the corner and allowing Lisa to hit Kim with a Spinebuster. Outside of the ring, Madison attempted to pull herself back up to her feet, and Louise noticed this, responding by hitting Madison with a stomp to the back of the head, sending her staggering and falling back to the floor.
"Louise continuing to keep Madison away from her corner, leaving Kim at the mercy of Lisa and Louise!" Kotoko exclaimed as back inside the ring, Lisa picked Kim back up and hit her with two Short-Arm Clotheslines before planting her with a Short-Arm STO. Lisa posed to the crowd as Kim crawled to the corner, leaning against the bottom turnbuckle, allowing Lisa to run into the corner, and hit Kim with a Running Cannonball Senton. Lisa dragged Kim to the corner before tagging Louise back into the match, the two hitting Kim with a Double Back Suplex, the crowd booing as they looked down at the beaten-down woman, admiring their handiwork. Lisa noticed that Madison was beginning to make her way back to her corner, and attempted to hit her with a Baseball Slide Dropkick, but the crowd cheered as Madison was able to dodge. Lisa attempted to take Madison down, but despite her injured leg, Madison hit Lisa in the side of the face with a barrage of Back Elbows, sending her staggering away before Madison pushed her into the steel ring post face first.
"Madison has finally made it back to her feet, and she's taken out Lisa in the process!" Mauro exclaimed as Louise was shocked back inside the ring, but before she could do anything, Kim rolled her up from behind with a School Girl pin.
Ref: 1…2…
Louise kicked out just in the nick of time, hitting Kim with a Savate Kick to the face before attempting to hit her with another Saito Suplex. However, the crowd exploded into cheers as Kim was able to reverse it into a Reverse Frankensteiner. The crowd continued cheering loudly as Madison pulled herself up onto the apron, reaching her hand out for the tag, with Kim crawling over to the corner. However, Louise was able to grab Kim's leg, pull her away from the corner, and attempt to hit her with a Wheelbarrow Facebuster, but Kim was able to counter this with a DDT, the crowd continuing to cheer as Kim rolled into her corner, finally tagging Madison back into the match.
"Madison is finally able to make the tag, and while she may be on one good wheel, she's still got that fire in her eyes!" Mauro exclaimed as Madison went into the ring, and when Louise got back to her feet, Madison hit her with several Clotheslines, a Reverse Atomic Drop, and a Michinoku Driver. The crowd continued cheering as Madison hit Louise in the face with a Pinpoint Elbow before running the ropes, and hitting Louise with another Pinpoint Elbow. Madison stretched her leg out before picking Louise back up and attempting to throw her into the corner, but Louise reversed the Irish whip, sending Madison crashing into the corner. Louise ran into the corner and attempted to hit her with a Running Corner Forearm Smash, but Madison countered with a Corner Kick, and a Corner Enziguri before jumping up to the middle rope.
"I don't think that's a good idea given her bad leg!" Bob warned as Madison hit Louise with a Diving Middle Rope Clothesline before going for the pinfall, hooking both of her legs back.
Ref: 1…2..
The crowd booed as Lisa ran back into the ring, hitting Madison with an Elbow Drop to the back to break up the pin. Lisa then dragged Madison away from Louise and attempted to put her in a Boston Crab, but Madison responded with multiple kicks to the chin while she was on the ground, stunning Lisa.
"Madison fighting back against both Lisa and Louise here, and the adrenaline is making sure that leg isn't a factor at all!" Mauro exclaimed as Madison got back to her feet, and threw Lisa onto Louise with a Gourdbuster. The crowd began cheering again as Madison went into the corner, preparing for the Broken Neck Symphony (Michael McGuillicutty's McGillicutter). Madison attempted to run and hit the move, but Lisa was barely able to move Louise out of the way and hit Madison with a kick to the face as a counter. Lisa then attempted to hit Madison with a Swinging Neckbreaker, but Madison responded with multiple punches to the gut. However, before Madison could escape Lisa's grasp, Louise hit Madison with a Chop Block to the back of the knee, sending Madison crumpling back to the floor.
"Louise taking out Madison's knee again! And just like that, all that adrenaline you talked about earlier is gone!" Bob exclaimed as Lisa rolled out of the ring, allowing Louise to continue the attack on the knee, stomping on the side of the knee. Louise then dragged Madison to the corner by her leg, tagging Lisa back into the match, the crowd booing as the two hit Madison with the Wishbone. Louise then ran the ropes and hit a Running Penalty Kick to a seated Madison before Lisa put Madison on her knees, hit her with a Snap DDT, and went for the pinfall, hooking both of her legs back, putting extra pressure on the right leg.
Ref: 1…2…
Lisa immediately responded to the kickout by grabbing Madison's leg and hitting her with several Foot DDTs.
"And like the genius that she is, Lisa immediately goes back to targeting the leg, making sure that Madison doesn't have the chance to make it back to her corner!" Bob exclaimed as Lisa dragged Madison closer to the ropes, put her leg over the bottom rope, and hit the cowgirl with multiple Sentons to the legs. Madison rolled away back to the center of the ring while holding her leg, and Lisa responded by grabbing Madison's legs, attempting to lock her in the Figure-4-Leglock, but Madison pushed her away. However, as Madison got up, Lisa hit the cowgirl with a Running Basement Dropkick to the knee before running the ropes, hitting Madison with a Running Knee Lift to the face, and going for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…2…
"Madison's not giving up yet! She's trying to get some feeling back in her leg by slapping it harder than we've seen Trish Stratus slap Chris Jericho!" Mauro exclaimed as Madison tried to pull herself back up to her feet, but Lisa responded with multiple kicks to the side of the leg. Madison tried to fight back with multiple punches to the side of the head, but Lisa responded by taking Madison back down with a Drop Toe Hold. The crowd continued booing as Lisa grabbed Madison's right leg and smashed her knee into the canvas multiple times before tagging Louise back into the ring. The crowd continued booing as Lisa picked Madison up, and pushed her, allowing Louise to knock her back down with a Lariat to the back of the head. Louise then pressed her heel against the back of Madison's knee, with her and Lisa talking trash to Kim while the high-flyer was anxiously waiting on the apron.
"Madison's leg is practically useless at this point! She can barely even stand up!" Bob exclaimed as Louise grabbed both of Madison's legs and locked her in the Louise Lock (Chris Jericho's Walls of Jericho) in the middle of the ring. Madison yelled out in pain as Louise added some torque to the right leg, though the cowgirl refused to give up, and tried to strike her way out of it, clubbing Louise in the back. However, Louise countered this by hitting Madison with multiple elbows to the back of the head before pulling back on the Louise Lock (Chris Jericho's Wall of Jericho) even further. After another moment in the hold, the crowd began cheering and chanting for Madison as they noticed that the cowgirl was beginning to crawl back to her corner while still in the Louise Lock (Chris Jericho's Walls of Jericho).
"Madison is trying to crawl to her corner! The question is how long Madison can make it before the pain is too much!?" Mauro exclaimed as Louise, desperate to make Madison finally tap out, hit her knee with multiple punches, but the cowgirl shook her head and continued crawling to her corner, where Kim was ready for the tag. Lisa rushed over to Kim, attempting to pull the high-flyer off the apron, but Kim responded by hitting a Jumping Leg Drop across the back of Lisa's head, sending her staggering away. Kim got back into position, allowing Madison to finally tag Kim in, the crowd exploding into cheers as the high-flyer springboarded back into the ring, hitting Louise with a Springboard Dropkick to the back of the head before she had the chance to let go of the Louise Lock (Chris Jericho's Walls of Jericho).
"And finally, Kim is back into the match, freeing her girlfriend from the Springboard Dropkick!" Kotoko exclaimed as Louise got back to her feet, and Kim responded with a couple of Clotheslines, a Spinning Roundhouse Kick to the side of the head, and a Springboard Moonsault into a Tornado DDT. Lisa began pulling herself back up to her feet on the outside, and Kim immediately responded by running the ropes and hitting Lisa with a Suicide Tornado DDT. The crowd continued cheering and chanting for Kim as the high-flyer jumped back up to the apron, sent Louise staggering away with an Apron Enziguri to the side of the head, and springboarded back into the ring, hitting Louise with a Springboard Hurricanrana before going for a pinfall, hooking both of her legs back.
Ref: 1…2…
"Kim flying all around this ring, and she almost threw Louise onto the floor with that Diving Hurricanrana!" Kotoko exclaimed as Kim threw Louise into the corner before hitting her with a Running Corner Meteora and putting her on the top rope. The crowd exploded into cheers as Kim threw Louise off the top rope with a Top Rope Victory Roll, but before she could go for the pinfall, Linda grabbed Kim's hand and pulled her off Louise. The crowd booed as Kim turned around, and knocked Linda down with a Baseball Slide Dropkick through the ropes before turning around, stomping on Louise's gut, and climbing up to the top rope for the Cymbal Smash (2 Cold Scorpio's Tumbleweed). However, when she got onto the top rope, Kim noticed Lisa climbing back onto the apron, and grabbing her leg, which Kim responded to by kicking Lisa away. However, this gave Louise enough time to get back to her feet and throw Kim off the top rope with a German Suplex, the crowd booing as Louise tagged Lisa into the match.
"Louise once again showing her ring smarts by taking advantage of Linda and Lisa's distractions!" Bob exclaimed excitedly as Lisa went into the ring, and hit Kim with a Double Arm DDT before Louise got onto the top rope, and hit a Louise Splash (D-Lo Brown's Lo Down Frog Splash) before Lisa went for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…2…
The crowd exploded into cheers as Madison, ailing leg and all, ran into the ring to break up the pinfall with a running Pinpoint Elbow to the back of Lisa's head. Louise responded by hitting Madison with a Superkick before attempting to hit her with the Single Knee Facebreaker. However, Madison pushed Louise away from her, hit her with another Discus Forearm, and threw her into the ropes with a Stun Gun before pushing her out of the ring. Madison then picked Lisa up and attempted to hit her with the Perfect-Plex, but Lisa responded by hitting Madison with several punches to the back of the knee.
"Madison trying to help, but thanks to the damage done to her leg, she may have ended her and Kim's chances at the titles!" Mauro exclaimed as Lisa grabbed both of her arms, and put her in position for the Double Arm DDT, but Kim responded by hitting Lisa with a Modified Calf Kick to the back of the head. With Lisa stunned, Madison picked her opponent up and hit her with a Perfect-Plex while Linda helped Louise up on the outside. Madison ran the ropes, and despite the pain going through her leg, nailed both Louise and Linda with a Suicide Dive while Kim climbed back up to the top rope. The crowd exploded into cheers as Kim pointed out to the crowd before hitting Lisa with the Cymbal Smash (2 Cold Scorpio's Tumbleweed) and going for the pinfall, hooking both of her legs back.

Bell Rings*
"Here are your winners, and the INAGURAL BTWF Intensity Women's Tag Team Champions, the team of Madison and Kim Chin!" Maya Ibuki announced, the crowd exploding into cheers as Kim jumped back up to her feet, shooting both her fists up in the air while the ringside attendant went to get the BTWF Intensity Women's Tag Team Championships. Madison, meanwhile, got back up, slid back into the ring from underneath the bottom rope, and limped over to Kim with a smile on her face. Kim and Madison hugged in the middle of the ring while the referee got the BTWF Intensity Women's Tag Team Championships from the ringside attendant, and handed them to the new champions, who took them with awe in their faces.
"Madison, just a few months ago, was on the brink of death due to a crippling addiction! And now, she's not only reunited with Kim Chin but has become BTWF Intensity Women's Tag Team Champions with Kim as well! Talk about a comeback story for the ages!" Mauro exclaimed as Madison and Kim hugged each other once again while throwing the BTWF Intensity Women's Tag Team Championships up in the air with their free hands. After letting each other go, Madison plants a kiss on the top of Kim's head, thanking her for helping make this comeback a reality, which Kim responded to with a smile, clinking her BTWF Intensity Women's Tag Team title belt with Madison's.
"They may be celebrating tonight, but now that they're champions, they're going to have targets on their back! Can this little comeback story survive with targets all over them!?" Bob asked, agitated that his daughter and wife failed to win tonight. On the outside, Linda helped Lisa and Louise back to her feet, the younger woman responded by pushing Linda away, telling her that she let them tonight. Linda responded by saying she tried her best, but Louise countered by saying that her best wasn't good enough. While the argument was going on, Lisa rolled out of the ring and tried to calm both women down and play peacemaker. Louise took several deep breaths and nodded in response, apologizing to her mother while Lisa was nodding and patting her tag partner on the shoulder.
"Oh, give it a rest, Bob. Madison and Kim overcame the odds here tonight, and despite Lisa, Louise, and Linda's best attempts, Madison and Kim are leading a new era in the BTWF Women's Division on Intensity as the inaugural BTWF Intensity Women's Tag Team Champions!" Kotoko exclaimed as Lisa, Louise, and Linda walked away together while Kim and Madison climbed up to different turnbuckles while raising the BTWF Intensity Women's Tag Team titles up in the air. Pyro went off from the stage as Madison and Kim continued celebrating with the cheering crowd and their BTWF Intensity Women's Tag Team Championships. Madison then looked into the camera and told the BTWF Intensity Women's Tag Team Division that they weren't letting go of these titles anytime soon, so the women's teams would have to hit both her and Kim with their best shots. Kim, from the other side of the ring, concurred, telling all the women's teams in the back that if they wanted some, they were more than welcome to come get some.
The camera panned to the backstage interview area, where Scott Stanford was standing next to BTWF Feast or Famine secondary championship briefcase winner Marcel Galliard, who was holding his briefcase off to the side while waiting for his interview.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with Marcel Galliard, who in his in-ring debut at StarShow, won the Secondary Championship Feast or Famine briefcase, giving him a guaranteed shot at the BTWF International Championship anytime he wants to. Now, Marcel, you may not have a match on tonight's show, but I imagine that you're here to scout the BTWF International Championship match between Edward Elric & Kilik Rung later tonight?" Scott asked, which Marcel responded to with a nod before looking down at his Feast or Famine briefcase.
"Right on the money, Scott. Now, I may be able to get this championship match anytime that I want, but that doesn't mean that I don't have to stay at the top of my game, and can just not scout my potential future opponents. The important thing to consider when it comes to the Feast or Famine briefcase is timing. I have to cash this in at the right time, and at the right moment to make sure my in-ring debut wasn't for nothing," Marcel explained, once again giving his BTWF Feast or Famine briefcase a knowing look before looking back at Scott.
"Do you have a preference as to who you would like to face?" Scott asked as Marcel simply responded with a shrug.
"Not really. Edward is one of the unsung heroes of the BTWF in terms of his in-ring abilities, and Kilik's unique boxing background would make him a fun opponent to face off with. But to me, it really doesn't matter who I face as long as they're the BTWF International Champion," Marcel explained. However, before Scott could respond, Haruhi Suzumiya from AVW (Anime Valley Wrestling) strutted into the backstage interview area with a smirk on her face while chucking.
"You seem really confident, don't you, Marcel? Well, that's all well and good, but you made one fatal mistake; you got involved in the SOS Brigade's business, and that means you're on our hit list," Haruhi explained, causing Marcel to respond with a laugh before putting his Feast or Famine briefcase down, leaned forward, and put his hands behind his back, inviting Haruhi to hit him.
"Well then…are you gonna do something about it?" Marcel asked with a smirk. However, Haruhi shook her head, and smirked, backing away slightly before the rest of the SOS Brigade (Yato, Yukine, Kyon, & Hitagi Senjougahara) rushed behind Marcel, and began clubbing him and beating him down with punches, forearms, and stomps. Scott backed away as Haruhi was directing traffic. Yukine mounted Marcel and rained down punches to the side of his head before picking him up and throwing him face-first into the wall. Yato and Yukine then picked Marcel up, and hit him with a Double Gourdbuster, sending Marcel's chest crashing into the top of a production crate.
"Finish him off, Kyon! Show him why nobody messes with the SOS Brigade!" Haruhi yelled out as Kyon grabbed Marcel by the throat. Marcel tried to fight out of Kyon's grasp, hitting him with multiple punches to the side of the head. However, Hitagi was quickly able to stop Marcel's attempt at a comeback with a Hitagi's Kiss (Drew McIntyre's Glasgow Kiss) to the back of the head. Kyon then hit Marcel with a Chokeslam onto the production crate with enough force that Marcel's body crashing into the crate caused cracks to form at the top of the crate. The rest of the SOS Brigade looked down on Marcel's body as Haruhi skipped over to the Feast or Famine winner's prone body, and slapped him right in the side of the face.
"And THAT is why you don't mess with the SOS Brigade! I hope you learned your lesson!" Haruhi yelled out before turning around, and patting Kyon on the shoulder. All five members of the SOS Brigade then walked away, leaving Marcel lying on top of the production crate while medical personnel came rushing to his aid.
The camera panned to the ringside area, where a Plexiglas penalty box with an electronic timer at the top was standing next to the commentary table. The camera then focused on the ring, where Maya Ibuki was in the middle of the ring, preparing for match introductions.
"The following contest is the Iron Survivor Match! Two wrestlers will start this match, and every five minutes, another wrestler will join the match, with the 5th and final participant entering at the 15-minute mark! The objective of this match is to earn the most points before the 30-minute time limit expires! Points can be earned by pinfall, submission, or being the victim of a disqualification! When a wrestler is pinned, taps out, or gets disqualified, they will spend 90 seconds in the penalty box! The winner of this match is the wrestler with the most points before the 30-minute time limit ends, and it is to determine the #1 contender for the BTWF Women's Championship at Hardcore Heaven!" Maya Ibuki explained, the crowd exploding into cheers as Maya backed away slightly, and as 'You Only Live Once' by Suicide Silence played. Yang Xiao Long rushed out of the back, beating her chest and yelling into a nearby camera that this was her time.
"Introducing first, from the Island of Patch, Vale, Remnant, representing Team RWBY, Yang Xiao Long!" Maya Ibuki announced, the crowd continuing to cheer loudly and chant for Yang as she stood on the center of the stage, beat her chest with her right arm several times, and shot her fist up, causing flames to shoot out of not only the stage but the gauntlet on her right hand as well. Yang then marched down the aisleway, high-fiving multiple fans in the front row while shooting her left fist in the air, causing more pyro from her gantlet to shoot out. Yang then went to the other side of the aisleway, high-fiving multiple fans in the front row, and signing a pro-Yang sign in the audience.
"Yang's been on a roll since StarShow! Not only did she get the deciding pinfall at StarShow, not only did she defeat Lucy in a Steel Cage match on Intensity, but she also defeated Houki Shinonono of AVW on Intensity as well! She's got the most momentum coming into this match!" Mauro exclaimed as while Yang was posing and celebrating with the fans, Yang noticed someone in the skybox and glared up at them. The camera panned up to the skybox, revealing Team Stratos (Houki Shinonono, Cecilia Alcott, Laura Bodewig, & Charlotte Dunois) of AVW (Anime Valley Wrestling) sitting in the skybox.
"Speaking of AVW, we have Team Stratos, one of the top female stables in AVW, watching on, most likely to see how the members of Team RWBY do in this match," Kotoko noted as Yang continued glaring at the women in the skybox before rolling into the ring from underneath the bottom rope. Yang then stood back up, and hit her chest with her right arm again multiple times before shooting both her fists up, causing pyro to shoot out of her gauntlets once again. Yang then went into the corner, stretching while saying that she was ready for whoever was coming out next. However, that confident smile faltered a little as 'Can You Feel My Heart' by Bring Me The Horizon played, the crowd continuing to cheer as Blake Belladonna jumped out of the back, did some rotations in the sky, and landed on her feet before looking at the ring and at Yang.
"And introducing the next participant in the Iron Survivor match, from Menagerie, Remnant, representing Team RWBY, Blake Belladonna!" Maya Ibuki announced, the crowd continuing to cheer as Blake, like Yang, had a hesitant look on her face before making her way down the aisleway. Meanwhile, in the skybox, Team Stratos were laughing at the prospect of Team RWBY members and girlfriends going against each other at the beginning of the Iron Survivor match. Blake high-fived fans in the front row but didn't take her eyes off Yang, who was running her hands through her blonde hair, wondering what she was going to do. Blake took a deep breath when she made it to the ringside area, and after trying to psyche herself up by slapping both sides of her face, she jumped onto the ring apron.
"This is going to be interesting. Blake and Yang are very public with their relationship, and you know that despite their desire to become the BTWF Women's Champion, they're going to have a hard time going full force at each other," Kotoko noted as Blake and Yang shared a look before flipping over the top rope and rolling to the center of the ring. Blake jumped back up to her feet and continued looking right at Yang, the two exchanging words with each other. While the two girlfriends talked with each other, the referee told the timekeeper to start the match, starting the 5-minute timer until someone else joined the match. Blake and Yang looked at each other, took a deep breath, and told each other 'May the best woman win' before planting a kiss on each other's cheeks.
"I think your answer is right in the ring, Kotoko, as both women are going to go at each other, knowing that only one woman can win this one!" Bob responded as Blake and Yang locked up in the middle of the ring, neither woman giving an inch as Yang transitioned into a Waistlock, and attempted to take Blake down to the mat, but the Black Cat responded by throwing Yang away with a Wheelbarrow Japanese Arm Drag. The crowd cheered as Blake attempted to hit another Japanese Arm Drag onto Yang, but the Blonde Bombshell responded by grabbing both of Blake's arms and locking her in a Full Nelson. However, Blake responded a moment later by ducking down and attempting to roll Yang up with a Victory Roll, but the Blonde Bombshell responded by trying to lock Blake in a Rear Naked Choke.
"We're starting off technically here, but Yang looks to be going for the quick submission victory!" Mauro exclaimed as Blake landed on her feet, pulling herself out of Yang's grasp. Blake allowed Yang to get back up to her feet and applauded her girlfriend, which the Blonde Bombshell responded to with a smile. After the celebration, Blake attempted to hit Yang with a Tilt-a-Whirl Hurricanrana, but the crowd exploded into cheers as Yang cartwheeled onto her feet as a counter, surprising and impressing Blake. Blake then grabbed Yang's arm and attempted to lock her in an Armbar, but Yang was once again able to overpower her, attempting to throw her into the corner with a One-Armed Powerbomb. However, Blake responded by throwing her into the corner with a Frankensteiner, but Yang was able to stop herself from going into the corner. Blake then put Yang in a Front Facelock and attempted to hit her with a Tornado DDT, but the Blonde Bombshell was able to push Blake off of her. However, the Black Cat was able to land on her feet, the crowd giving both women a round of applause as Yang and Blake once again complimented each other.
"Blake and Yang are even right now, showing that a match for a big opportunity as this isn't even close to enough to break them up!" Mauro exclaimed as Yang looked around, and told Blake that they needed to 'spice things up' a little bit. Blake raised an eyebrow at her girlfriend but nodded as she ran at Yang, attempting to hit her with a Clothesline, but Yang was able to catch her and throw her into the corner with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex, hitting her with multiple punches and Shoulder Thrusts to the gut before moving away from the corner. Yang then ran the ropes, attempting to hit Blake with a Running Corner Forearm, but the Black Cat responded by dodging Yang and hitting her with a Pendulum Kick. The crowd continued cheering as Blake jumped over the top rope, hitting Yang with a Vaulting Hurricanrana before running the ropes, and knocking the Blonde Bombshell down with a Spinning Wheel Kick.
"That's what Yang meant by 'Spice it up!' Blake and Yang are wrestling with each other as if they were wrestling anyone else!" Bob exclaimed as Blake ran the ropes, attempting to hit Yang with a Top Rope Springboard Moonsault, but Yang rolled out of the way. Blake landed on her feet, but Yang responded by stunning the Black Cat with a Discus Forearm to the chin, the crowd continuing to cheer and chant for both women as Yang put Blake over her shoulders for the Burst of Embers (Big E's Big Ending). However, Blake was able to slide out of Yang's grasp, hit her with a Back Kick to the gut, and stunned Yang with a Pele Kick to the top of the head. Blake then ran the ropes and took Yang down with a Leaping Clothesline, the crowd continuing to cheer as Blake climbed up to the top rope. Blake pointed out to the crowd before attempting to hit Yang with a Frog Splash, but the Blonde Bombshell rolled out of the way, but when Yang made it back to her feet, the Black Cat springboarded off the middle rope to hit Yang with a Springboard Enziguri Kick to the side of her girlfriend's head before going for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…2
"Blake almost took her girlfriend's head right off with that Springboard Kick! But, if we know one thing about Yang, it's that it takes a lot to keep her down for the three!" Mauro exclaimed as Blake picked Yang up, and hit her with several Knife-Edge Chops to the chest, but the Blonde Bombshell was able to catch one of Blake's Knife-Edge Chop attempts and made her own attempt to throw her into the corner with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex. However, Blake responded with a Bell Clap to both sides of Yang's face, sending the Blonde Bombshell staggering away and allowing Blake to break free. Blake then ran the ropes and attempted to hit Yang with a Handspring Back Elbow, but Yang responded with a Corner Kick to the back of the head, sending the Black Cat staggering out of the corner.
"Speaking of kicks, Yang almost took Blake's head off with that hard kick from the corner!" Bob exclaimed as Yang jumped up to the middle rope, and hit a dazed Blake with a Middle Rope Diving Bulldog. The crowd continued cheering as Yang beat her chest a few times, preparing for the Burst of Embers (Big E's Big Ending), but when Yang attempted to pick Blake up, the Black Cat slipped out of the Blonde Bombshell's grasp. The two exchanged punches in the middle of the ring as the timer began counting down from 10, and while the fans were counting backwards in Spanish, Blake and Yang ran the ropes before knocking each other down with a Double Clothesline.
"The next participant's about to come into the match, and we've had no pinfalls so far, though Blake and Yang are both down!" Kotoko exclaimed as the timer finally reached zero. The crowd booed as 'Bad Listener' by Beartooth played, revealing Jiro Kyoka coming out of the back with a guitar on her back. Jiro had a look on her face that was serious and determined, not even making any attempt to play on her guitar. Jiro, however, did smirk a little when she realized that both members of Team RWBY were down for the count.
"And introducing the next woman in the Iron Survivor, 'The Queen of Song Style' Jiro Kyoka!" Maya Ibuki announced as Jiro put the guitar on the steel steps. Jiro then ran up to the top of the steel steps, ran into the ring, and pinned Yang.

Jiro looked annoyed before pinning Blake with both of her legs hooked back.

"Jiro trying to pick the bones here, but Yang and Blake aren't going to go down that easily!" Mauro exclaimed as Jiro picked Yang up, and attempted to lock her in the Silencer (Shayna Baszler's Kirifuda Clutch), but Yang responded by ramming Jiro into the corner multiple times. However, seeing that Blake was getting back to her feet, Jiro pushed Yang out of the corner, causing the two girlfriends to collide heads in the middle of the ring. With Blake staggering, Jiro rolled Yang up with a Victory Roll, the crowd booing while Yang was still holding her head in pain.

"Ladies and gentlemen, 'the Queen of Song Style' Jiro Kyoka has earned a point, and Yang Xiao Long will be put in the Penalty Box for 90 seconds!" Maya Ibuki announced, the crowd booing as Jiro kicked Yang out of the ring before immediately picking Blake back up and hitting her with multiple kicks to the chest and the legs. However, when Jiro attempted to lock Blake in the Silencer (Shayna Baszler's Kirifuda Clutch), but Blake countered with a Jawbreaker, the crowd cheered as the Black Cat hit Jiro with a Lifting Reverse STO. The crowd continued cheering as Blake mounted Jiro and hit her with multiple punches to the side of the head, which Jiro responded to by hitting the Black Cat with a hard headbutt to the face, sending Blake rolling away.
"Jiro once again stunning Blake! That headbutt looked like it rattled Blake's brain!" Mauro exclaimed as Jiro pushed Blake into the corner, and hit her with multiple corner forearms to the side of the head before putting her on the top turnbuckle. Jiro then climbed up to the top rope, attempting to hit Blake with a Superplex, but the crowd cheered as Blake began hitting the Queen of Song Style with multiple punches to the chest before pushing her off the top rope. The crowd continued cheering as Blake dived off the top rope, and hit Jiro with a Diving Reverse STO before going for the pinfall.

Blake looked annoyed before she picked Jiro up, and hit her with a couple of Knife-Edge Chops to the chest. The crowd continued cheering as Blake Irish whipped Jiro into the ropes while Yang was impatiently waiting for the timer to go off. When Jiro rebounded off the ropes, she hit Blake with a Kick to the face, standing Blake straight up before the Queen of Song Style knocked the Black Cat down with a Roundhouse Kick. However, the crowd exploded into cheers as the timer went off, freeing Yang from the Penalty Box, and immediately allowing the Blonde Bombshell to grab Jiro's legs, pull her out of the ring, and throw her face first into the announcers' table.
"Yang's back and all that waiting in the Penalty Box has only made her more upset!" Bob exclaimed as Yang turned Jiro around, and hit her with multiple punches to the side of the head before smashing the side of her face into the commentary table multiple times. While Yang continued pummeling Jiro, Blake ran the ropes and hit both her girlfriend and Jiro with a Vaulting Somersault Plancha. The crowd continued cheering as Blake pounded the top of the commentary table multiple times before grabbing Jiro, and throwing her back into the ring. Blake then climbed up to the top rope and hit Jiro with a Frog Splash to the back before picking the Queen of Song Style back up, hitting her with a Deadly Nightshade (Cedric Alexander's Lumbar Check), and going for the pinfall.

Maya Ibuki announced as Jiro rolled out of the ring, with the referees leading her into the Penalty Box. Meanwhile, Blake noticed that Yang was getting back to her feet, and Blake responded by running the ropes and attempting to hit her girlfriend with a Suicide Dive. However, Yang was able to catch Blake in mid-air and hit her with a Stalling Gourdbuster onto the commentary table. The crowd continued cheering as Yang picked Blake up, threw her back into the ring, jumped onto the apron, and waited for the Black Cat to get up before hitting her with a Vaulting Clothesline and going for the pinfall.

"And just like that, Blake and Yang are back at it!" Bob exclaimed as Jiro yelled at one of the referees to hand her the guitar so that she could play it while waiting for the timer to go off. Meanwhile, in the ring, Yang ran the ropes and hit a Twisting Jumping Splash to Blake's chest before picking her up by both of her arms. Yang hit Blake with a Cross-Armed Neckbreaker before she began climbing up to the top rope, preparing for a Frog Splash of her own. However, while Yang was climbing up to the top rope, Blake pulled herself back up to her feet, and began climbing up to the top rope, hitting Yang with several Forearms to the side of the head before meeting her at the top turnbuckle. Blake attempted to put Yang in position for the Spanish Fly, but the Blonde Bombshell was able to push her girlfriend off the top rope, who responded by landing on her feet on the canvas and hitting a Jumping Kick to the side of Yang's head, stunning her.
"Blake and Yang are fighting in the corner, but Jiro's about to be freed from the Penalty Box in half a minute!" Okabe exclaimed as Blake then ran up to the top rope, and hit Yang with a Top Rope Spanish Fly before going for the pinfall, hooking both of her legs back.
Ref: 1…2…
"Yang barely, and I do mean BARELY, kicked out there! Even Blake looks completely shocked that her girlfriend kicked out!" Mauro exclaimed as Blake, after double-checking on Yang, slid into the corner, waiting for the Blonde Bombshell to get back to her feet. When she did, Blake ran out of the corner and attempted to hit Yang with a Shadow Pounce (R-Truth's Jumping Corkscrew Flying Forearm Smash). However, Yang was able to catch Blake and hit her with the Burst of Embers (Big E's Big Ending) as Jiro was freed from the Penalty Box and the timer for the next participant began. Jiro waited on the outside while Yang went for the pinfall, hooking both of her legs back.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Yang Xiao Long has scored a point, and Blake must go into the Penalty Box for 90 seconds!" Maya Ibuki announced, the crowd cheering as Yang looked a little guilty about pinning Blake. However, as Yang was getting up, Jiro hit Blake with a Running Jumping Knee Strike to the side of the head just as the timer went off. While Jiro mounted Yang and rained down punches on the top of her head, Marin Hollow came walking out, the crowd booing as Blake was put into the Penalty Box, a cup of coffee in one hand and a microphone in the other. However, rather than cut a promo, Marin simply presented Brandish My as Franky Monet's 'I'm a Star' theme song played, the crowd continuing to boo as Marin applauded while Brandish posed for the fans and Marin's camera.
"Introducing the next participant in the Iron Survivor Match, accompanied to the ring by Marin Hollow, she is 'the Influencer' Brandish Myu!" Maya Ibuki announced as while Brandish continued posing, Jiro picked Yang up, threw her into the corner, and hit the Blonde Bombshell with a Running Corner Knee Strike before running the ropes and hitting a Single Leg Running Dropkick to the side of Yang's head. Jiro then picked Yang back up and attempted to hit her with the Sound Off (Gutwrench Powerbomb), but the crowd exploded into cheers as Yang countered into a Hurricanrana, sending the Queen of Song Style into the corner.
"Brandish doesn't seem to be in too much of a rush to head into the ring. She seems fine with letting the women in the ring beat each other up for a little while longer," Kotoko explained as Yang ran into the corner, and attempted to hit Jiro with a Running Corner Discus Forearm. However, Jiro was able to dodge the hold and send Yang stunning away with a Corner Step-Up Enziguri. Jiro then jumped up to the middle rope, and hit Yang with a Diving Knee Strike to the face, sending her back down while Brandish continued posing at the ringside area with Marin taking photos of her. While Jiro was ramming her knee in the side of Yang's head multiple times, Brandish jumped onto the apron to pose, annoying the Queen of Song Style. After pushing Yang away, Jiro walked up to Brandish while she was posing, grabbed her, and attempted to lock her in the Silencer (Shayna Baszler's Kirifuda Clutch).
"Jiro's had enough of Brandish's antics on the outside, and is going to bring her in the ring the hard way!" Mauro exclaimed as Brandish responded by Hotshotting Jiro's throat over the top rope, sending her staggering away. Brandish then climbed up to the top rope, and hit both Jiro and a stunned Yang with a Diving Crossbody, the crowd continued to boo as she picked Jiro up and threw her into the corner post shoulder first. Brandish then ran the ropes and hit Yang with the Command T (Single Leg Running Dropkick) just as Blake was freed from the Penalty Box. However, before Blake could get into the ring, Brandish knocked Blake off the ring apron with a Running High Knee Strike. Brandish then picked Yang up and hit her with a Shot of Brandi (Single Knee Facebreaker) before going for the pinfall.

Maya Ibuki announced as Brandish posed over Yang's body, the crowd booing as the Influencer looked down at Yang, who was now bleeding from the side of the head. Before Brandish could do anything else to Yang, Blake springboarded back into the ring to hit Brandish with a Springboard Hurricanrana. The crowd continued cheering as Brandish pulled herself back up to her feet, and Blake responded with several punches to the side of the head before running the ropes and hitting two Clotheslines, a Jumping Clothesline, a Jumping Knee Strike, and a Spinning Kick to the gut. The crowd continued cheering as Blake springboarded off the middle rope, and hit Brandish with a Springboard Leg Drop to the back of the head before going for the pinfall.

"Blake flying all around the ring, almost taking Brandish's head off with a Springboard Leg Drop!" Bob exclaimed as Blake picked Brandish up, and hit her with several forearms to the side of the head before throwing her into the corner. Blake put Brandish on the top rope, attempting to hit her with a Top Rope Frankensteiner, but the crowd booed as Jiro came back into the ring, grabbed her by the leg, and pulled her down to the mat while putting her in an Ankle Lock. Blake yelled out in pain while Yang looked on in worry from the Penalty Box, yelling at the referees around the Penalty Box about how much longer she had in the box. Jiro, meanwhile, twisted Blake's ankle to increase the pressure on the Ankle Lock, but Blake refused to tap out, trying to make it to the ropes. However, when Blake was fingertips away, Jiro pulled her back to the center of the ring, but before she could do any more damage to the ankle, Brandish dived off the top rope to hit the Queen of Song Style in the back of the head with a Missile Dropkick.
"Brandish stopping the Ankle Lock there, wanting to be the one to get the pinfall or submission herself! She knows that if she didn't stop the Ankle Lock there, the Feast or Famine briefcase winner would've gotten another point!" Kotoko exclaimed as Brandish picked Blake up, and attempted to lift her up for Influenced (Jade Cargill's Jaded), but Blake responded with a couple of headbutts to the nose, stunning her, and allowing the Black Cat to escape Brandish's hold. Blake then attempted to hit a Spinning Roundhouse Kick to the side of Brandish's head, but the Influencer dodged, kicked Blake in the right knee, and hit her with a Shin Breaker. While Blake was holding her leg in pain, Brandish slammed the back of Blake's head into the mat, the crowd booing as the Influencer ran the ropes to hit a Jumping Knee Drop on the Black Cat before going for the pinfall.

"Blake's leg may be a target for everyone in this match, and that's definitely going to affect her ability to get points," Bob noted as Brandish dragged Blake to the corner, sat her in front of the bottom turnbuckle, and ran the ropes to hit her with a Running Corner Crossbody. The crowd continued booing as Brandish began choking Blake in the corner with her foot, she and Marin mocking Yang as she continued waiting in the Penalty Box. Brandish then ran the ropes and hit Blake with a Running Corner Knee Strike to the side of her face before Yang was freed from the Penalty Box, the crowd exploding into cheers as Yang turned Marin inside out with a Clothesline. Brandish attempted to head out of the ring to get a one-up on Yang, but the Blonde Bombshell caught Brandish in a Suplex position and hit her with a Gourdbuster onto the steel steps.
"Brandish and Marin really should've minded their manners in front of the Blonde Bombshell!" Mauro exclaimed as Yang threw Brandish back into the ring, climbed up to the top rope, and hit the Influencer with a Frog Splash from the top rope before going for the pinfall, hooking both of her legs back.

Brandish rolled out of the ring, the crowd chanting 'Hey, Hey, Goodbye' as the referees were leading her to the Penalty Box, despite Marin arguing with the referees while holding his head in pain. Meanwhile, in the ring, Yang helped Blake back up to her feet, asking if she was OK, but while she was checking on Blake, Jiro grabbed Blake's leg from the outside, dragged her to the steel ring post, and smashed the side of her leg into ring post multiple times. The crowd continued booing as Jiro grabbed Blake, and threw her into the fan barricade face first before sliding into the ring, telling Yang that she needed to focus if she wanted to win. However, while the two were talking trash to each other, the timer on the screen showed up, and Jiro was attempting to lock Yang in the Silencer (Shayna Baszler's Kirifuda Clutch).
"Our last participant is coming to the ring! And Blake is on the outside getting her leg checked on by our ringside medical attendant!" Mauro exclaimed as the timer went off and Jiro finally took Yang down while still having her in the Silencer (Shayna Baszler's Kirifuda Clutch). The crowd cheered as 'This Fire Burns' by Killswitch Engage played as Rally Vincent ran out of the back, quickly checking her watch before yelling that it was clobbering time. Rally then began running down the aisleway while Jiro tightened her grip on the Silencer (Shayna Baszler's Kirifuda Clutch) to try and get Yang to tap out faster.
"And introducing the final participant in the Iron Survivor match, she is 'The Second City Shooter' Rally Vincent!" Maya Ibuki announced as Rally quickly ran up the steel steps, climbed up to the top rope, and hit Jiro with a Diving Elbow Drop while she still had Yang locked in the hold. Rally then quickly picked Jiro back up, and hit her with the AK-47 (CM Punk's G.T.S.) before going for the pinfall, hooking both of her legs back.

"Rally Vincent has won a point, and Jiro Kyoka will be put into the Penalty Box for 90 seconds!" Maya Ibuki announced as the referees led Jiro to the Penalty Box, with Brandish not looking happy that she had to share the Penalty Box. Meanwhile, Rally rolled out of the ring, grabbed Blake, and threw her back into the ring, the crowd cheering as Blake began to pull herself back up to her feet, and Rally responded by hitting the Black Cat with a Springboard Clothesline. Rally landed on her feet and when Yang pulled herself into the corner, the Second City Shooter ran the ropes and hit Yang with a Running Corner Knee Strike before hitting her with a Springboard Tornado Bulldog. Blake began trying to pull herself back up to her feet, but Rally responded by hitting Blake with a Shining Wizard.
"The Second City Shooter establishing dominance in the match, which is for the best, since she is the freshest competitor with only 10 minutes left," Kotoko explained as Rally picked Blake up, and attempted to hit her with the AK-47 (CM Punk's G.T.S.), but the crowd cheered louder as Blake began hitting Rally with several elbow strikes to the side of the head. Rally tried to keep her grip on Blake, but the Black Cat took advantage of Rally briefly losing her grip and hitting the Second City Shooter with a Reverse Frankensteiner. The crowd continued cheering as Blake pulled herself back up to her feet while holding her leg in pain, while the camera panned to Brandish, who was ignoring Jiro's complaining while waiting to be released.
"Blake better put the pedal to the medal if she wants to win here! Ignore the pain and get some points!" Bob exclaimed as Blake picked Rally up, and hit her with several kicks to the chest, but Rally blocked one of the kicks and took the Black Cat down with a Dragon Screw. The crowd continued cheering as Rally locked Blake in a Figure-4-Leglock, the Black Cat screaming in pain as she attempted to pull herself to the ropes, but the Second City Shooter responded by pulling her back to the center of the ring. Blake continued fighting, even landing several punches to the side of Rally's head, but the Second City Shooter responded by hitting Blake with multiple Open-Palm Strikes before turning around, turning the Figure-4-Leglock into an Indian Deathlock. After a moment, Blake is forced to tap out, the crowd giving a mixed reaction as Rally lets go after Blake kicked out.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Brandish Myu has earned another point, and Rally Vincent will be sent to the Penalty Box for 90 seconds!" Maya Ibuki announced as Brandish posed for the booing fans, but the fans exploded into cheers again as Yang turned Brandish inside out with a Jumping Clothesline. The crowd continued cheering as Yang mounted Brandish, and hit her with multiple forearms to the side of the head before smashing the back of the Influencer's head into the canvas. Marin yelled at the referee, telling him to get Yang off of Brandish, but the referee told Marin to stay out of it. The crowd continued cheering as Yang picked Brandish up, and hit her with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex before running the ropes and attempting to hit her with a Jumping Twisting Splash. However, Brandish responded by raising her knees up, causing Yang to crash right into the Influencer's knees chest first, stunning her enough for Brandish to hit Yang with a DDT.
"Beautiful DDT there by Brandish. As deadly as she is beautiful!" Bob exclaimed as the timer went off again, allowing Jiro to leave the Penalty Box, rush into the ring, and hit a Running High Knee to Brandish's head, sending a stunned Influencer into the corner. Jiro then pushed Yang into the corner, the crowd booing as the Queen of Song Style ran the ropes, and hit multiple Corner High Knee Strikes to both Yang and Brandish's faces. After hitting Yang with another Corner Knee Strike, Jiro put Yang on the top rope and hit her with a Top Rope Gutwrench Suplex. But before Jiro could go for the pin, Brandish got back to her feet and knocked the Queen of Song Style down with a Running Clothesline to the back of the head. Brandish then grabbed both of Jiro's arms and attempted to hit her with Influenced (Jade Cargill's Jaded), but Jiro responded by rolling the Influencer up with a Victory Roll.

The timer went off, the crowd cheering as Blake limped out of the box, and while Brandish was attempting to go for another pin, Brandish springboarded into the ring with Springboard Facebuster onto Brandish.
"Blake, despite the pain coursing through her leg, coming back into this match in a big way!" Mauro exclaimed as Blake attempted to hit Brandish with the Deadly Nightshade (Cedric Alexander's Lumbar Check). However, Jiro responded by kicking Blake in the back, prompting the Black Cat to let go of the Influencer, and allowing Jiro to turn Blake around, attempting to hit her with the Sound Off (Gutwrench Powerbomb). However, the crowd cheered as Blake was able to respond by throwing Jiro out of the ring with a Hurricanrana. Brandish then attempted to hit Blake with a Superkick, but the Black Cat responded by ducking the Superkick, hitting Brandish with a Spinning Roundhouse Kick. While Brandish was stunned, Blake ran the ropes and hit the Influencer with the Shadow Pounce (R-Truth's Jumping Corkscrew Flying Forearm Smash) before going for the pinfall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Blake Belladonna has scored another point, and Brandish Myu will be sent to the Penalty Box for 90 seconds!" Maya Ibuki announced as while Brandish rolled out of the ring, the timer in the box went off, allowing Rally to go free. However, the crowd booed as while Marin was arguing with the referee, Lauren Gacy, the friend/biggest fan of the BTWF Women's Champion Minatsuki Takami rushed the ringside area, and knocked Rally down with a Running Forearm to the back of the head. The crowd booed as Lauren mounted the back of Rally's head, and hit her with multiple punches to the back of the head while screaming like a lunatic.
"We only have a few minutes left of this match, but Rally may have been taken out of this match for good!" Kotoko exclaimed as Lauren grabbed Rally, and threw her into the Penalty Box multiple times before hitting her with the Murder She Wrote (Hammerlock Cradle DDT) onto the floor. Lauren slinked away as the referee finally stopped listening to Marin and paid attention to Rally being put down on the mat while Lauren chuckled at the Second City Shooter's downed body. Meanwhile, back in the ring, Blake ran the ropes and hit Jiro with a Handspring Kick to the side of the head. Yang then attempted to hit Blake with a Clothesline, but the Black Cat matrix dodged out of the way, and hit her with a Pele Kick, sending her staggering into the ropes. Blake, while slapping some feeling back into her leg, ran into the corner, attempting to hit Jiro with a Handspring Back Elbow, but the Queen of Song Style responded with a Corner Kick to the back of the head.
"Lauren took Rally out of the match, and she's still lying down on the outside! Meanwhile, in the ring, Blake stunned Jiro with a hard kick to the back of the head!" Mauro exclaimed as Jiro grabbed Blake in a Sleeper Hold, and threw her overhead with a Sleeper Suplex. The crowd continued booing as Jiro locked Blake in the middle of the ring with the Silencer (Shayna Baszler's Kirifuda Clutch). Blake tried to pull herself out of Jiro's hold, but the Queen of Song Style responded to this by stomping Blake's leg. However, Blake responded with multiple hard Back Elbows, allowing her to roll out of Jiro's grasp and pull herself back up to her feet. Blake and Jiro began exchanging punches to the side of the head before Blake blocked one of Jiro's punches and hit her with a Spinning Back Elbow to the side of the head. Blake then ran the ropes and attempted another Handspring Back Kick, but Jiro responded with a Superkick to the back of the head before hitting Blake with a Sound Off (Gutwrench Powerbomb) and going for the pinfall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Jiro Kyoka has earned another point, and Blake Belladonna will be put into the Penalty Box for 90 seconds!" Maya Ibuki announced as Jiro threw Blake out of the ring. Jiro then grabbed her guitar, the crowd continuing to boo as the Queen of Song Style began to play a few notes on her guitar. However, the crowd exploded into cheers as Yang grabbed the guitar from behind, pulled it out of Jiro's hand, and broke the guitar over her knee. Jiro looked shocked at Yang's actions, and the Blonde Bombshell responded to the Queen of Song Style's shock by hitting her with multiple punches to the side of the head. Jiro attempted to stop the brawl by poking Yang in the eye, but when Jiro attempted to throw the Blonde Bombshell into the corner, Yang countered by throwing the Queen of Song Style into the corner. The crowd continued cheering as Yang ran into the corner, hitting Jiro with a Jumping Meteora to the face as Brandish left the Penalty Box, the crowd booing as she slid into the ring and quickly attempted to get another point by rolling Yang up with a School Girl.

Yang kicked out, and then grabbed Brandish, attempting to lock her in the Too Hot to Handle (Sasha Banks' Bank Statement). However, Brandish responded by rolling on her back and putting Yang back in a pinning position.
Ref: 1…2…
"Yang once again kicked out, and you can see the frustration on Brandish's face!" Kotoko exclaimed as Brandish immediately responded to the kickout with a Superkick to the chin. The crowd continued booing as Brandish hit Yang with a Michinoku Driver, but before she could go for the pin, the crowd cheered as Rally springboarded back into the ring with a Springboard Elbow Drop to the Influencer's chest. The crowd continued cheering and chanting for Rally as she mounted Brandish and hit her with multiple forearms to the side of the head, but while she was in control, Lauren Gacy returned, jumping onto the apron, and screeching at Rally. Rally responded by knocking Lauren down, hitting her with a Savate Kick to the chin, the crowd continued to cheer as Rally springboarded over the top rope to hit Lauren with a Vaulting Crossbody.
"Once again, Lauren's trying to take Rally out, but the Second City Shooter is making sure that Minatsuki's friend won't take her out again!" Mauro exclaimed as Rally slid back into the ring and attempted to hit Brandish with the AK-47 (CM Punk's G.T.S.). However, thanks to Lauren taking Rally out of focus for a moment, Brandish raked Rally's eyes, hit the Second City Shooter with a Backstabber, and then hit Rally with Influenced (Jade Cargill's Jaded) before going for the pinfall, hooking both of her legs back.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Brandish Myu has earned another point, and Rally will spend another 90 minutes in the Penalty Box!" Maya Ibuki announced, the crowd booing as Brandish kicked Rally out of the ring, with Marin laughing and mocking the Second City Shooter. Yang was beginning to get back to her feet, but Jiro responded by hitting the Blonde Bombshell with a kick to the back of the head. The crowd booed even louder as Brandish and Jiro began stomping on Yang multiple times before picking her up, hitting her with a Double Gourdbuster, and hitting her with a Double Knee Strike to both sides of her head. Jiro attempted to go for the pin, but Brandish responded by pulling Jiro away and attempting to pin Yang herself. However, Jiro responded by grabbing Brandish and locking her in the Silencer (Shayna Baszler's Kirifuda Clutch). However, a moment later, Brandish was able to throw Jiro over the top rope, the crowd booing as Brandish ran the ropes, and hit Jiro with a Suicide Dive that sent the back of her head bouncing off the Penalty Box.
"Brandish taking complete control of this match, but Blake only has seconds left in the Penalty Box!" Bob exclaimed as Brandish posed for the crowd just as Blake's time in the Penalty Box came to an end. Blake grabbed Brandish by the hair and hit her with several punches to the side of the head, but the Influencer was able to push Blake into the steel steps, sending that already injured leg bouncing off the edge of the steel steps, causing the Black Cat to crumple. Brandish smirked down at Blake before rolling into the ring, picking Yang's arms, and attempting to hit her with Influenced (Jade Cargill's Jaded). However, Yang responded with multiple headbutts to the nose before turning around, and stunning Brandish further with a Discus Forearm. With less than a minute left, Yang picked Brandish up in a Gory Special and hit Brandish with the Blonde Bombshell (Mercedes Mone's Mone Maker) before going for the pinfall, hooking both of her legs back.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Yang Xiao Long has scored another point, and Brandish Myu will be put into the Penalty Box for 90 seconds!" Maya Ibuki announced. With only 30 seconds left, Yang quickly slid out of the ring, grabbing Jiro, and throwing her back into the ring. Yang waited for Jiro to get back to her feet, and when she did, Yang hit the Queen of Song Style with the Burst of Embers (Big E's Big Ending) before immediately transitioning into the Too Hot to Handle (Sasha Banks' Bank Statement). Jiro tried to fight out of the hold, but after Yang pulled the Queen of Song Style's neck back further, Jiro had no choice but to tap out, with only a few seconds remaining.
Jiro Kyoka: 2, Blake Belladonna: 2, Yang Xiao Long: 4, Brandish Myu: 3, Rally Vincent: 2
Yang then looked up at the timer, counting down along with it along with the fans before Rally rushed into the ring with a Flying Clothesline. Rally then picked Yang up, attempting to hit her with the AK-47 (CM Punk's G.T.S.), but before she could hit the move, the bell rang, indicating the end of the match.
Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, Yang Xiao Long has scored another point, bringing her total number of points to 4. Therefore, here is your winner, representing Team RWBY, Yang Xiao Long!" Maya Ibuki announced as Rally let go of Yang, looking completely infuriated that she couldn't get another pinfall in on time. Meanwhile, Yang, from a seated position, shot both of her fists up in the air while letting out a battle cry, much to the crowd's delight. On the outside, Jiro pounded the mat in frustration, Brandish glared at Yang from her view in the Penalty Box, and Blake, despite still being in pain, smiled at the idea of her girlfriend getting a BTWF Women's Championship match.
"Yang has survived all the odds, and has added to her pile of momentum which will lead her to a BTWF Women's Championship match next month at Hardcore Heaven!" Mauro exclaimed as before Yang continued celebrating, she rolled out of the ring to check on Blake. Blake admitted that she was having a hard time standing up, and Yang responded by grabbing onto Blake's hand, and pulling her back to her feet. Yang offered some support while helping Blake into the ring, and after Yang pulled her girlfriend up again, the two celebrated together in the ring while Rally rolled out of the ring. While Rally began her walk up to the backstage area, she talked into a camera, warning Lauren to never get involved in her business again and that she was coming after her to make sure the super-fan regretted attacking her.
"Rally isn't happy that Lauren interfered twice to cost her the match, but her time will come soon, I just know it," Kotoko explained as Weiss Schnee and Ruby Rose, the rest of Team RWBY, came down to the ring and hugged Yang and Blake, the crowd cheering loudly and chanting for Team RWBY as Ruby and Weiss lifted Yang over on their shoulders. Blake applauded her girlfriend while Yang continued posing with her fists in the air, letting out another battle cry. Outside of the ring, Brandish was let out of the Penalty Box by Marin, and while Marin was trying to calm the Influencer down, Brandish stomped away from the ring while making sure she didn't have any marks on her face.
"At Hardcore Heaven, it's going to be Yang Xiao Long vs. Minatsuki Takami or 'Amazing' Luna Collins for the BTWF Women's Championship! Can Yang make the most of all this momentum and become the new BTWF Women's Champion!?" Bob asked as Weiss and Ruby put Yang down, the tensions of the previous couple of weeks momentarily forgotten as, along with Blake, Team RWBY continued their celebration in the ring, with Yang telling Minatsuki and Luna that whoever wins the BTWF Women's Championship Strap match later tonight was going to have to battle the Blonde Bombshell next month, and that she was going full force to make sure she brought gold back to Team RWBY.
The camera panned to the backstage gym, where BTWF International Champion Edward Elric was taping his wrists up, getting ready for his match later tonight while seated on a bench. Elric heard the door opening, resulting in the BTWF International Champion standing up and getting ready for a fight. However, the camera panned over to Huey Freeman, who had his hands up in surrender while walking closer to Elric.
"Listen, listen, I'm not here to fight. I'm here to make you an offer; I know you don't trust me, but I have something that can help you get Kilik out of your hair. I've worked with him for months, so I can help you know what to expect from him in-ring," Huey explained. Elric raised an eyebrow, not sure if he could believe Huey, even with the former Nation leader having a bandage wrapped around the nose that Kilik had broken on the most recent episode of Intensity.
"And why should I trust you?" was all Elric asked while he continued taping up his wrists. "You may have gotten your nose broken by the prick, but you've proven to be one of the most untrustworthy people out there," Elric continued as the BTWF International Champion looked down while Huey continued staring at his one-time rival. Huey sighed before walking over to the bench Elric was sitting on, and taking a seat next to him, and while Elric didn't look exactly comfortable with the situation he found himself in, didn't move or move Huey, allowing the former Nation leader to continue his appeal.
"Because Kilik betrayed me, and that created a Domino effect that destroyed the Nation of Domination 2.0. I genuinely believed in Kilik, and that he could be the next big star of the Fanfiction Wrestling Multiverse, but his ego has gotten out of control, and he needs to be put down a peg. I want to help with that, because now that he doesn't have the Nation, and if you beat him again, he'll run out of excuses and, hopefully, get a reality check," Huey explained, with Elric nodding and reluctantly having to admit that Huey made a good argument. Elric leaned closer and patted Huey on the shoulder before handing him a bottle of water.
"Alright, Huey, you convinced me. Tonight, and tonight only, you can accompany me to the ring, and make sure that Kilik doesn't leave Mexico with the BTWF International Championship," Elric said, extending his hand out to Huey who, after a moment of hesitation, shook the hand of the BTWF International Champion. Huey then took a folder out of his jacket and began discussing some of the plans he had with Elric as the camera panned away from the locker room, with the audio cutting out.
The camera panned back to the stage, where 'MANTRA' by Bring Me the Horizon played, the crowd booing as former BTWF Hardcore Champion Jellal Fernandes walked out of the back, blowing paper NWO logos into the camera before stretching both his arms out with his hands open. The crowd continued booing as Jellal walked off the stage, went down the aisleway, and began making his way to the ring. While walking to the ring, Jellal glared at some of the fans booing him, and began arguing with some of the fans talking trash to him to the point where he grabbed one of the pro-Eren signs from a fan, and ripped it into pieces.
"The following contest is a Mexican Death Match, and it is for the BTWF Hardcore Championship! Introducing the challenger, first, representing the NWO, from the Tower of Heaven, he is 'The Galaxy' Jellal Fernandes!" Maya Ibuki announced, the crowd continuing to boo as Jellal told the camera that what happened at StarShow was a fluke and that he should still be the BTWF Hardcore Champion. Jellal continued to rant, telling the fans in the arena and at home that Kokonoe Mercury, BTWF PPV General Manager, wasn't going to screw him out of the championship tonight.
"Jellal has been seething for an entire month after the events of StarShow, being put into a second BTWF Hardcore Championship match at the behest of Kokonoe Mercury, who wanted some revenge for the disrespect she suffered through at the hands of the NWO when she was a guest as part of S7W," Mauro explained as when Jellal made it to the ringside area, he jumped up onto the top of the fan barricade and began walking on the top of it until he made it on another side of the ring. Jellal had to dodge several fans trying to push him off, and the Galaxy responded by flipping the fans off before jumping from the fan barricade to the ring apron, the crowd continuing to boo as he rolled into the ring from the middle rope.
"Well, now he has had ample time to prepare, and with that time, he may have the chance to earn the BTWF Hardcore Championship back!" Kotoko exclaimed as Jellal kipped back to his feet in the center of the ring, once again stretching his arms out with his hands open. While he was posing, 'Balboa' by Blind Channel played, and the crowd cheered as Eren Jeager came running out of the back, interrupting Jellal and annoying the NWO member. Eren spun around on the center of the stage before opening up his ring jacket, revealing the BTWF Hardcore Championship around his waist. Eren smiled and nodded as the crowd continued cheering for him and chanting his name as he made his way down the aisleway.
"And his opponent, from-!" Maya Ibuki attempted to announce, but Jellal responded by running out of the ring and up the aisleway, attacking Eren with some punches to the side of the head while he was trying to make his way to the ring. This match being a Mexican Death Match, the referee told the timekeeper to ring the bell and start the match as Eren began fighting back against Jellal, the two exchanging multiple punches to the side of the head. Eren won the brawl by hitting Jellal with multiple headbutts to the nose, stunning the NWO member and allowing Eren to take the BTWF Hardcore Championship off from around his waist. The crowd continued cheering as Eren began whipping Jellal in the back with the championship belt multiple times before jumping up to the top of the fan barricade and raising the championship over his head.
"Eren using the very championship he won from Jellal as a weapon!" Bob exclaimed as Eren attempted to pick Jellal up, but the Galaxy responded with a poke to the eye, the crowd booing as he grabbed the BTWF Hardcore Championship from Eren, and hit him in the side of the head with the title belt. Eren staggered up the aisleway, and Jellal responded by whipping the new BTWF Hardcore Champion in the back multiple times, the two continuing their way up the aisleway. Jellal then put the BTWF Hardcore Championship back around his waist, telling the booing crowd that the belt was back where it belonged before hitting Eren with a Superkick to the side of the head.
"Eren and Jellal are brawling to the stage, showing just how much hatred is there between these two!" Mauro exclaimed as Jellal grabbed Eren, and attempted to hit him with a DDT onto the steel aisleway, but Eren responded with several knees to the gut and more forearms to the side of the head. Jellal pushed Eren away, but the BTWF Hardcore Champion immediately responded by hitting the NWO member with a Float Over DDT, sending the top of his head bouncing off of the aisleway. The crowd continued cheering as Eren picked Jellal up, and threw him into the BTWF logo on the side of the stage before throwing him into the LED screens on the stage.
"Eren exploring the space around him, making sure that he uses everything in his power to keep the BTWF Hardcore Championship away from the NWO!" Kotoko exclaimed as Jellal hit Eren with several punches to the gut when the BTWF Hardcore Champion tried to pick him up again. Jellal then attempted to throw Eren off the stage and through several tables, but Eren was able to stop himself from falling. A frustrated Jellal attempted to hit him with a Clothesline, but Eren responded by picking him up and attempting to hit him with a Back Body Drop to the floor and off the stage, but Jellal quickly responded by hitting Eren with several elbows to the top of the head. Jellal escaped Eren's grasp before attempting to hit him with a German Suplex off the stage, to which the BTWF Hardcore Champion responded by hitting the NWO member with several back elbows to the sides of the head.
"Eren and Jellal are battling in a precarious position right now. They have to be careful because one wrong move can not only end the match, but potentially, their careers as well," Mauro explained as Eren turned around, and attempted to throw Jellal off the stage with a Gourdbuster. However, Jellal responded with several knee strikes to the chest and the face, stunning him. Jellal then put Eren in position for the Meteor (Stardust's Dark Matter) off the stage, but Eren responded by hitting the NWO member with several punches to the side of the head before hitting Jellal with an Overhead Kick to stagger the NWO member. Eren then backed away slightly, the crowd exploding into cheers as the BTWF Hardcore Champion threw Jellal off the stage with a Running Frankensteiner, sending the NWO member through the tables below. The crowd went 'Mierda!' as Eren hung precariously by his hands while Jellal was writhing in pain in the pile of broken table.
"Mamma Mia! Eren sent Jellal falling from the stage and through the tables below! And we're just starting this BTWF Hardcore Championship match!" Mauro exclaimed as Eren pulled himself back on the top of the stage, and waited for Jellal to get back to his feet. When Jellal pulled himself back up, Eren ran off the stage and hit Jellal with a Somersault Senton before rolling to the fan barricade and jumping on top of it, celebrating with the roaring crowd. While Jellal was down, Eren took the BTWF Hardcore Championship off of the NWO member's waist, raised it above his head to get a louder cheer from the crowd, and handed it over to one of the ringside attendants, who was there to check on Jellal. The crowd continued cheering and chanting for Eren as he grabbed Jellal by the hair, and threw him onto the aisleway before following him up there.
"If this Mexican Death Match was Falls Count Anywhere, there is no doubt in my mind that Eren would've won that one!" Bob exclaimed as Eren dragged Jellal down the aisleway and back to the ring. The crowd continued cheering as Eren slammed Jellal's face into the ring apron multiple times before throwing him into the ring, jumping onto the apron, and waiting for Jellal to get back to his feet. When Jellal staggered back to his feet, Eren springboarded back into the ring, hitting the NWO member with a Springboard Dropkick to the face before going for the first pinfall of the match.
Ref: 1…2…
"I have no idea how Jellal kicked out of all of that, but there is a reason that he's one of Bakugo's most trusted confidants in the NWO!" Mauro exclaimed as Eren slid out of the ring, looking under the ring for some weapons. The crowd exploded into cheers as Eren found a trash can full of weapons, such as barbed wire baseball bats, a board covered in nails, a bag full of something sharp, several steel chairs, a towel, a container of gasoline, and several kendo sticks. The crowd exploded into cheers as Eren threw all these weapons into the ring before grabbing the trash can and the trash can lid, and sliding into the ring. Eren then grabbed the trash can lid and hit Jellal in the side of the head with it multiple times before putting the lid on Jellal's face. Eren ran the ropes, and hit a Leg Drop across the trash can lid, sending it bouncing off of Jellal's face. The crowd continued cheering as Eren put the trash can lid on Jellal's chest, and began climbing up to the top rope, attempting to hit the NWO member with the Attack on Titan (Diving Double Foot Stomp). However, while Eren was balancing himself on the top rope, Jellal was able to pull himself back up to his feet, grab the trash can lid, and throw the lid right at Eren's head, sending him falling off the top turnbuckle and onto the floor in front of the commentary team.
"What a throw by Jellal, and what a fall by Eren! Despite Jellal having a hard time standing, he was able to send Eren falling out of the ring!" Bob exclaimed as Jellal began climbing up to the top rope, and when Eren got back to his feet, the NWO member dived off the top rope with a Top Rope Tornillo, hitting Eren and taking him down. The crowd booed as Jellal smirked at the crowd, and told them that the NWO would be getting all the gold again. Jellal then grabbed Eren by the hair and clubbed him multiple times in the back before hitting him with a Gourdbuster onto the top of the English commentary team. Jellal then reached into the ring, grabbed one of the kendo sticks that Eren had put into the ring, and hit him in the back several times before climbing up to the ring apron. Jellal flipped off the booing crowd before attempting a dive, but Eren was able to grab the Kendo Stick and throw it right into the NWO member's face.
"Eren is fighting fire with fire, throwing a weapon at Jellal to stop a dive while he's still lying on our commentary table!" Mauro exclaimed as Eren got off the commentary table, grabbed the Kendo Stick again, and hit Jellal in the chest with multiple Kendo Stick shots. Eren then climbed up to the ring apron, grabbed Jellal, and hit him with a Spanish Fly off the apron and onto the fan barricade. The crowd once again chanted 'Mierda!' as Jellal and Eren both held their backs in pain while Eren grabbed the NWO member by the hair and hit him with several punches to the side of the head. Eren then threw Jellal back into the ring, and climbed back up to the top rope, waiting for the NWO member to get back to his feet. When Jellal got back to his feet, Eren dived off the top rope with a Diving Hurricanrana. However, Jellal was able to catch Eren in mid-air and plant him with a Powerbomb onto the nearby trash can, the crowd booing as Jellal staggered to the corner while holding his back.
"Jellal flattened the trash with Eren's body thanks to that Powerbomb!" Bob exclaimed as Jellal rushed over to Eren and stomped on his chest and back before picking him back up, and throwing him into the corner. The crowd continued booing as Jellal grabbed the flattened trash can, and hit him over the head with it multiple times before putting it back on the ground. The crowd continued booing as Jellal ran the ropes, and hit Eren with a Running Corner Dropkick before grabbing him in a Front Facelock, hitting the BTWF Hardcore Champion with a Tornado DDT that sent his head bouncing off the steel trash can, and going for the pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.
Ref: 1…2…
"Jellal getting the two count there, but Eren's been busted open! I think his head might have caught the edge of the trash can!" Kotoko exclaimed as Jellal mounted Eren, and hit him with multiple punches to the side of the head. The crowd continued booing as Jellal threw Eren into the steel ring post arm-first, before going back over to the stack of weapons and grabbing the barbed wire baseball bat. Jellal climbed up to Eren's back and began pressing the barbed wire of the baseball bat onto Eren's now-bleeding forehead. The crowd continued booing as Eren yelled out in pain, trying to push Jellal off of him, but the NWO member responded by pressing the barbed wire harder into his forehead. Jellal then jumped onto the apron, pulled the baseball bat away from Eren's face, and hit the BTWF Hardcore Champion right in the side of the head with the barbed wire bat.
"I think Jellal just scored a home run there!" Bob joked as Jellal pushed Eren back into the ring before climbing up to the top rope, and hitting a Diving Elbow Drop across Eren's chest, with the barbed wire baseball bat across the NWO member's arm for added pressure, before going for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…2…
Jellal looked annoyed at the kickout and responded by taking the barbed wire off of the baseball bat and wrapping the barbed wire around Eren's throat.
"Oh, dear God! Jellal's choking Eren with barbed wire! Not only could this deprive Eren of oxygen, but this could also prick some major blood vessels that are located in the throat!" Mauro exclaimed as Eren yelled out in pain as he attempted to push Jellal off of him, but the NWO member kept his feet on the ground and his grip tight around the throat. As some blood began trickling from Eren's throat, the BTWF Hardcore Champion responded by hitting Jellal with multiple back elbows to the side of the head and didn't stop until Jellal finally let go, causing the piece of barbed wire to fall to the floor. Eren picked up the piece of barbed wire and smirked while the crowd cheered him on before he began whipping Jellal in the back with the barbed wire.
"Eren's alright, Mauro, but I worry for Jellal's back, as you can see the sharp points on the barbed wire sticking somewhat to Jellal's skin with each and every whip!" Kotoko exclaimed as Jellal rolled out of the ring to escape the whipping. Eren wrapped the barbed wire around his fist before running the ropes and hitting Jellal with a Suicide Forearm that sent the NWO member crashing against the fan barricade back first. Eren then rained down punches on Jellal with his barbed-wired hand, causing the side of Jellal's head to become busted open, before throwing him back into the ring. Eren slid back into the ring, and grabbed Jellal by the hair, attempting to rain down more punches, but Jellal responded by grabbing the black bag, and hitting Eren in the side of the face with it. The BTWF Hardcore Champion staggered away before Jellal ran the ropes, and hit Eren with a Springboard Clothesline to knock him down.
"Once again, Jellal taking control back in this match, but I'm curious as to what's in that bag that stunned Eren!" Bob exclaimed as Jellal opened the bag, revealing it to be full of broken pieces of glass. The crowd let out shocked gasps as Jellal spilled some of the glass onto the canvas in front of him before putting the bag down, grabbing Eren, and attempting to put him in position for a Powerbomb into the glass. However, Eren responded with several punches to the side of the head before jumping down and attempting to hit him with a Shiganshina DDT (Finn Balor's Bloody Sunday DDT) into the glass. However, Jellal responded with several punches to the gut before attempting to hit Eren with a standard DDT into the glass, but Eren responded by pushing Jellal away. However, when Eren attempted to hit Jellal with a Superkick, the NWO member dodged and hit the BTWF Hardcore Champion with a German Suplex before bridging into a pinfall.

"So far, nobody's felt the wrath of that glass in the center of the ring, and after what we saw between BTWF Women's World Champion Clover Lamoreaux and Sherry Blendy last night on the Octane portion of this event, I can't say I blame them," Mauro noted as Jellal shook his head in annoyance before rolling out of the ring, and going underneath the ring, grabbing a couple of tables, and a ladder. Jellal slid one table and the ladder into the ring before sliding in after him, the crowd booing as Jellal put the table up in the middle of the ring while spilling the rest of the glass from the back bag on top of the table. Jellal then leaned the ladder against one of the corners before grabbing Eren, hitting him with multiple knee strikes to the side of the head, and placing him on the table right on top of the glass.
"I don't know what Jellal has planned here, but with that glass, it is guaranteed to hurt!" Bob exclaimed as Jellal climbed back up to the top rope, attempting to get into position for a Moonsault off the top rope. However, while Jellal was trying to balance himself on the top turnbuckle, Eren got off of the table and hit Jellal with a Running Corner Dropkick to the back, stunning the Galaxy. The crowd cheered as Eren climbed up to the middle turnbuckle, grabbed Jellal in a Waistlock, and began clubbing the Galaxy in the back multiple times before attempting to throw him off with a German Suplex. However, Jellal responded with several Back Elbows to the side of the head, but Eren responded with a couple of headbutts to the back of the head. The crowd exploded into cheers as Eren threw Jellal off the top rope with a German Suplex, sending Jellal's back crashing through the table and the glass. Eren then went for the pinfall after a moment of writing in pain.

"Eren and Jellal have thrown everything at each other, and neither man has decided to stay down!" Kotoko exclaimed as Eren grabbed Jellal's right leg, and locked him in the Wall Rose (Elevated Single Leg Boston Crab), the crowd chanting 'Tap!' at Jellal as he screamed in pain. After a moment, Jellal began crawling to another part of the ring, grabbing one of the kendo sticks from the floor, and attempted to hit Eren with the Kendo Stick, but the BTWF Hardcore Champion grabbed the Kendo Stick and threw it away while continuing to pull back on the Wall Rose (Elevated Single Leg Boston Crab). After another moment in the hold, Jellal grabbed a piece of glass and began stabbing it into Eren's leg, allowing Jellal to push the BTWF Hardcore Champion off of him once he loosened the hold on the Wall Rose (Elevated Single Leg Boston Crab).
"Now that's taking advantage of your surroundings! Jellal using that glass to free himself from the Wall Rose!" Mauro exclaimed as Eren's leg began bleeding as he tried to stand back on his feet. Jellal grabbed the kendo stick that Eren threw away and began hitting him in the back and the leg with the Kendo Stick multiple times, the crowd booing louder as Jellal began choking Eren with the Kendo Stick. Eren attempted to fight out of the choking with several Back Elbows, but Jellal responded by taking the BTWF Hardcore Champion back down with a White Russian Legsweep. However, rather than going for the pin, Jellal grabbed the board covered in nails and waited for Eren to get back to his feet so that he could hit him with it. However, when Jellal swung for it, Eren ducked out of the way and began hitting Jellal with multiple kicks to the chest and the leg.
"Eren trying to fight back with some hard kicks! I can't blame him, given how dangerous the weapon in Jellal's hands looks!" Bob exclaimed as Eren attempted to hit Jellal with a Superkick, but the Galaxy responded by hitting Eren in the leg with the nailed board, causing the BTWF Hardcore Champion to the ground while crumpling to the floor. The crowd booed as Jellal smirked down at Eren, and told the crowd that they were cheering on a loser before picking him up, hitting him with a Piledriver onto the nailed board, and going for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…2…
Jellal looked shocked that Eren had kicked out and even began arguing with the referee, saying that there was no way that Eren was still in the match.
"Eren looks like he can barely stand anymore! I can't blame Jellal for being in complete disbelief that Eren had kicked out!" Kotoko exclaimed as Jellal, after realizing that his arguing with the referee wasn't going to get him anywhere, grabbed Eren's leg, and locked the BTWF Hardcore Champion in one of his own moves, the Titan Killer (AJ Styles' Calf Killer). Eren screamed in pain as he tried to pull himself out of Jellal's grasp, which the NWO member responded to by hitting Eren in the back of the head with some hard Back Elbows. The crowd continued booing as Jellal pulled further back on Eren's leg, with the BTWF Hardcore Champion refusing to give up, trying to make it to the weapons remaining in the center of the ring. However, Jellal responded by hitting Eren with multiple strikes to the leg to try and get him to tap out, but Eren was able to reach the last kendo stick and hit Jellal in the shoulder with the kendo stick. Eventually, Jellal was forced to let go, holding the side of his arm in pain while Eren struggled to get back to his feet. Jellal attempted to hit him with a Jumping Leg Lariat, but Eren responded with a Kendo Stick shot to the arm.
"Eren targeting the arm with that Kendo Stick, and you can see Jellal having trouble with lifting his arm!" Mauro exclaimed as Eren continued wailing on Jellal with the Kendo Stick, only stopping the assault when the Kendo Stick broke. Eren then picked Jellal up, the crowd exploding into cheers as the BTWF Hardcore Champion hit Jellal with a Brainbuster onto the pile of glass shards Jellal had spilled out earlier before going for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…2…
Eren looked shocked that Jellal had kicked out of that Brainbuster, but he didn't let it get to him for too long, as he picked Jellal up, and Powerbombed him into the ladder that was still leaning against the corner of the ring.
"With the force Eren threw Jellal into the ladder, I'm shocked that the ladder didn't break on impact!" Kotoko exclaimed as Eren picked Jellal up, and attempted to hit him with a Sit-Out Powerbomb. However, Jellal produced a glass shard from earlier and stabbed Eren in the top of the head with it until he was able to escape the BTWF Hardcore Champion's grasp. The crowd continued booing as Jellal hit a bloodied Eren with a Superkick before dropping the BTWF Hardcore Champion face-first with a Meteor (Stardust's Dark Matter) into the bloody pile of glass shards and going for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…2…
"Jellal and Eren using the glass to their advantage, and now they're both wearing crimson masks!" Bob exclaimed as Jellal pounded his fist in the apron, wondering what he had to do to stop Eren. The crowd booed as Jellal grabbed Eren by the hair, and yelled at him to stay down, but while Jellal was ranting and raving at Eren, the crowd exploded into cheers as Eren hit Jellal with a Spinning Back Kick to the side of the head with enough force to send the NWO member on his knees. The crowd continued cheering as Eren ran the ropes, and hit a Shining Wizard to the back of the head before climbing up onto the top of the leaning ladder, hitting the NWO member with a Moonsault, and going for another pinfall, hooking both of his legs back.
Ref: 1…2…
"I've never seen anyone try a dive from a ladder that hasn't been properly set up before, but that just goes to show how extreme Eren Jeager really can be!" Mauro exclaimed as Eren went back to the ladder went onto the top rope, and attempted to hit a Diving Splash with the ladder underneath him for extra damage, but Jellal was barely able to roll out of the way, sending Eren's chin and chest bouncing off the ladder. Jellal pulled himself back up to his feet and stomped on Eren's back and the back of his head while he was still lying on the ladder. The crowd continued booing as Jellal ran into the corner, jumped up to the top rope, and hit Eren in the back with a Diving Moonsault. Jellal then rolled out of the ring and set up the table that was taken out earlier in the match before sliding back into the ring. Jellal dragged Eren onto the apron, put him in position for a Suplex, and attempted to hit him with an Apron Superplex through the table on the outside.
"Jellal making sure he uses all the furniture that he can so that guarantee that Eren stays down for the three count!" Bob exclaimed as Eren began fighting back with several punches to the gut, before hitting Jellal in the face with several punches. Eren attempted to put Jellal in position for another Spanish Fly, but the crowd booed as Jellal struck Eren with multiple knee strikes to the chest before attempting to put him in position for a Powerbomb. However, Eren responded with multiple punches to the side of the head before jumping down behind Eren, pushing him into the steel ring post, and throwing him off of the apron and through the table on the floor with a Titan Theory (Chaos Theory German Suplex).
"Mamma Mia! Eren throwing Jellal off the apron and through the table with a Chaos Theory German Suplex!" Mauro exclaimed, the crowd chanting 'Mierda!'" as Eren pulled himself back up to his feet before throwing him back into the ring. Eren rolled back into the ring and went over to the pile of weapons, grabbing a can of gasoline, and spilling it all over one of the towels before wrapping it around a steel chair. Eren then picked up the chair, grabbed a lighter, and lit the gasoline-soaked towel on fire, the crowd exploding into cheers as Jellal looked up at Eren in feat. Eren smirked at Jellal as the Galaxy tried to pull himself back up to his feet, but the crowd continued cheering as Eren hit Jellal in the face with the flaming steel chair. Eren continued hitting Jellal in the back and the chest with the chair until the flames went out before throwing the chair onto Jellal's chest.
"Dear Lord, Jellal's chest and back are covered in burns! And it looks like Eren's going to finish this thing!" Bob exclaimed as Eren climbed up to the top rope, and gave the cheering crowd the cut-throat taunt, hitting Jellal in the chest with the Attack on Titan (Diving Double Foot Stomp), sending the chair and his feet crashing into the Galaxy's chest, before going for the pinfall.

"Here is your winner, and still the BTWF Hardcore Champion, Eren Jeager!" Maya Ibuki announced, barely audible as the crowd continued cheering their heads off while Eren fell to his knees, a good portion of his adrenaline wearing off. Multiple medical personnel came rushing into the ring to check on him. While the medical personnel were checking on him, Eren grabbed the BTWF Hardcore Championship from the ringside attendant and shot his championship up in the air. The crowd continued cheering for Eren as he separated himself from the medical personnel and raised himself to the top rope before once again raising the BTWF Hardcore Championship above his head.
"Eren can barely walk, or even put pressure on his feet, but he is leaving Mexico with the BTWF Hardcore Championship!" Mauro exclaimed as Eren continued celebrating with the crowd and his BTWF Hardcore Championship. Meanwhile, Jellal rolled out of the ring, holding his chest and back in pain while a couple of medical personnel doused Jellal's back and chest with cold water to try and ease the pain from the burns. Jellal tried to pull himself back up to his feet, but due to all the pain coursing through his veins, the Galaxy had no choice but to stay on the ground. Duncan and Dipper came rushing out of the back to check on their NWO teammate, pushing the medical personnel and the referee away before helping Jellal back to his feet.
"Eren showed everyone in the locker room and everyone in the arena that he can go to that dark place inside of him to get extreme. As someone who's had their fair share of matches almost as violent as this, I can respect that," Bob admitted as in the ring, Eren jumped down from the top rope, and told the crowd that he would see them all on Octane before raising the BTWF Hardcore Championship back above his head. Eren then looked over at Duncan and Dipper walking Jellal up the ramp and mockingly waved goodbye to them while continuing to pose with the BTWF Hardcore Championship. Dipper looked back and responded with an annoyed shake of the head while he and Duncan continued assisting Jellal to the back.
"Now that Eren's had kept the Hardcore Championship away from the NWO's clutches, we'll be seeing him as an Octane superstar, keeping the BTWF Hardcore Championship on the Octane brand!" Kotoko exclaimed as Eren finally left the ring, continuing to show off his BTWF Hardcore Championship, high-fiving multiple fans in the front row while the NWO members walked to the back to get Jellal some extra support.
The camera panned to the Stanford Station, where Scott Stanford was sitting in an office chair in front of multiple TV screens.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Stanford Station, where we go into the pre-show matches that took place before the official show," Scott explained before the camera panned to one of the television screens behind Stanford, where it showed that the opening match to the pre-show was Zeke Bailey & Colt Grice vs. Akira Tsubaki & Miyuki Shirogane of Lenity, with Dawn Riverfall and 'The Guru' TJ Detweiler by their side.
"Our first match on the pre-show was this tag team match, where Colt Grice found a partner in Zeke Bailey to take on TJ's henchmen in the Lenity, Akira, and Miyuki. Zeke and Colt looked to have the match won, but thanks to Dawn's interference, Akira was able to send Colt and Zeke crashing into each other's head first before he and Miyuki hit the Support System (The Vaudevillians' Whirling Dervish) onto Colt for the victory in about 11 minutes," Scott explained, the TV monitor showing what Scott had said, focusing on the Support System that Akira and Miyuki hit Colt with to win. The footage also showed TJ giving his teammates a celebratory hug while Dawn got ready for her match, which another TV monitor revealed to be her vs. an Evolve rookie, Emma Dykstra.
"Right after that, the Lenity's Dawn Riverfall had a match, facing off against Evolve's Emma Dykstra, an amateur wrestling standout in high school who went to the Total Drama Training Academy fresh out of high school. Emma impressed in her BTWF main roster debut, but it was not enough, as Dawn was able to put Emma down with the Call of Nature (Liv Morgan's Oblivion) in about 8 minutes," Scott explained as the monitor revealed Emma attempted to hit Dawn with a Northern Lights Suplex, but Dawn countered with several knees to the gut before hitting her with a Jumping Single Knee Facebreaker, sending Emma staggering into the ropes. Dawn then gave one last look at TJ before running the ropes and taking Emma down with the Call of Nature (Liv Morgan's Oblivion). The camera then panned to another TV monitor, revealing the next match, which was revealed to be Damian Morrison taking on Vincent LeSalle.
"Our next match was Damian Morrison, a newcomer to BTWF Intensity taking on former Nation member Vincent LeSalle. It was a back-and-forth affair, but in the end, Damian was able to put Vincent away with a Running Corner Spinning Wheel Kick in about 9 minutes. However, after the match, a suit-clad Caleb Femi came out, congratulated both Damian and Vincent, and told them to come and meet with him later on in the show," Scott explained, the TV monitor showing Damian sending Vincent into the corner with a Superkick before running the ropes, hitting the former Nation member with the Corner Spinning Wheel Kick, and going for the pinfall. While Damian was celebrating, Caleb came down to the ring, raising both Damian and Vincent's arms up before handing them each a card, whispering something into their ears, leaving both Damian and Vincent confused, but intrigued. The final match was shown on the TV monitor, showing Homura Momiji of Power Team vs. Juniper Lee.
"The last match of the pre-show was originally intended to be the high-flyer of Power Team Homura Momiji battling Juniper Lee. During the match, just when it looked like Homura had the match won, Evolve's Ymir Al-Jazeera & Historia Reiss came rushing into the ring, and to make a statement, beat down Homura, ending the match in a DQ at 6 minutes while Juniper joined in on the beatdown. Homura's partner, Kohaku, came rushing down the ring to try and help, but they were still at a 2-to-3 disadvantage. However, another member of the Evolve women's roster, 'Smiley' Sasha Blouse came rushing down to the ring and helped the Power Team fight off Ymir, Historia, and Juniper. When the referees were finally able to separate the six women, BTWF PPV GM Kokonoe Mercury came out and made a 6-woman tag featuring all six women in the ring," Scott explained, the TV monitor showing Homura climbing up to the top rope for a Double Rotation Moonsault. However, Ymir punched Homura off of the top rope, and the referee disqualified Juniper. Historia and Ymir then slid into the ring to beat Homura up while Juniper joined in on the beatdown. The footage continued with Kohaku rushing into the ring to try and help her tag partner, but Juniper took the Power Team member down with a Jumping Knee Strike. Just when all seemed to be lost, 'Smiley' Sasha Blouse came rushing down the ring to brawl with the rest of the women attacking Kohaku and Homura in the ring. The footage on the TV then turned the 1-1 match into a 3-3 match.
"The 6-man tag was a back-and-forth affair, with Sasha, Ymir, and Historia showing why they're the top women's stars of BTWF Evolve. After 14 minutes of the match, Sasha was able to stun Juniper with a Superkick, allowing Homura and Kohaku to hit Juniper with the Grand Amplitude Neckbreaker as Sasha took Ymir and Historia down with a dive from the top rope," Scott explained as the footage on the TV showed Sasha almost knocking Juniper out with a hard Superkick before she climbed up to the top rope. Meanwhile, Homura and Kohaku hit Juniper with the Grand Amplitude into a Neckbreaker while Sasha took both Ymir and Historia down with a Diving Cannonball Senton to the outside.
"That is all for this edition of the Stanford Station, and remember to watch the BTWF PPV pre-shows, where there's just as much action as there is on the main show. Goodbye for now," Scott said, waving to the camera before the camera panned back to the stage, the PPV continuing onto the next match.
