Billy Way

The match opens with both competitors in the ring. Akemi holds the international title high above her head and bounced up and a down before handing it off to the ref. Billy Way grins and licks his lips rubbing his chest before pointing to the title and hip thrusting while he ghosts a belt around his waist. Hayashi is neither rattled nor impressed by way's antics as she simply cocks her head to the side with a grin before nailing him square in the face with a lightning quick enziguri, she comes off the ropes following that up with a sliding D to Way, who was just sitting back up. She covers for a pin that was too quick as Way kicked out at one. Akemi backed up bouncing her feet, she bounced back to Billy and immediately hit a swinging neckbreaker. Way goes down again but it quick to roll to his feet and catch Hayashi with a forearm club to the head. The two trade shots back and forth, before Way gets the upper hand again with a big drop kick. The fans get behind Akemi, railing her to her feet with cheers, but Way shuts her down again with a spinebuster.



Billy goes for a cover and gets a two count off a dazed Akemi, who gets her shoulder up as Way hisses and licks his lips delight. He urges her to get up so that he can show her the true way of entertainment. Instead he's rocked with a knee strike as Hayashi is on her feet not quickly, but suddenly. She seems to switch styles pouncing on him with a side neck crank. Billy Way has the size advantage however and is able to power his way up and drive Akemi into the mat with a sidewalk slam. Way picks her up and sends her for the ride off the ropes setting up for the Billion Dollar kick, instead as he picks his leg up Hayashi slides underneath him. She pops up again, bouncing off the ropes for a tilt-a-whirl DDT to the back of Way's head. She instantly locks the downed Billy into an Anaconda Vice, Billy struggles and flails for the ropes. Akemi attempts to drags Way away from the ropes and actually manages to drag him back a few paces. Way eventually wins the power struggle and makes it to the ropes. The ref forces the break up at the five count, Hayashi goes bouncing away again only to get slammed into the mat by a huge sit out suplex slam. Billy tries to go for a pin but Alamo floats over him and sets up the anaconda vice locking Way back in.



It’s another struggle in which Way inches and claws forward, just to be tugged back away from the ropes, Billy groaning and gripping the mat in agony all the while. It's another struggle that Akemi Hayashi eventually loses as Way makes it back to the ropes and she is once again forced to break the hold. Billy Way is slower to get to his feet this time but he catches Hayashi when she lunges at him and sends her for the ride. She comes off the ropes and runs into Billy's big boot. The momentum shifts in his face as he starts picking up steam, hitting Akemi with a suplex. He drags her over to the ropes for an elevated neckbreaker, Billy then does his weird little shimmy before lining up and hitting the Jaw Dropper(Vertical suplex stunner.) Not content to go for the pin, he grins and gestures at the crowd and leans in to kiss Akemi on the head setting up for The Billy Way(Swinging Reverse STO.) Hayashi isn't one to be out weirded however and instead licks his nose and slips out of his hold. Billy stands in the middle of the ring grinning sickly but he doesn't move in time and gets nailed with the Grapey Marshmallow Fizz (Shining Heel Kick.) Hayashi goes for the cover and the crowd starts to cheer as she gets a two point give count. Way just managing to get his shoulder up in time. Hayashi rolls away and a seemingly enraged Billy gets up, catching her by surprise he hits the Billy Way and covers right after pulling off the mother of all surprise victories as Akemi Hayashi is unable to kick out in time.
