But still, all of them still feels the same way as they know that they got what the desires in the end nevertheless.

"Please welcome, the current Japan Fightful Federation Tag Team Champions, The Myouis and Minatozaki Sana!" Shutdown's ring announcer Song Jihyo exclaimed to introduce them.

The three posed with their signature one finger up into the sky before they walked through the camp, vibing to the entrance theme while keeping up with their bad attitude, ignoring the fans throwing mixed reception at them.

"When it comes to the Bloodline, Kwangsoo; you gotta talk about the numbers." Knight talks to his partner on the commentary team. "Because The Myouis has been the tag team champions now for 418 days and ofcourse the Empire Chief and the Highness of the Land Yuta Nakamoto with a whopping 740 days as the World Champion in over 2 years of his reign.

"I thought the numbers you were talking at Knight is a reference to the members of the Bloodline which grew this past Saturday and officially will grow in only a matter of moments." his partner Lee Kwangsoo replied. "I said it back at Clash In The Combat, The Bloodline is as deep as they are: dangerous and badasses since birth. And Minatozaki Sana who is like an invaluable neighbor, always making sure that nobody's checking on your windows when you're out of the town."

"Sounds like a pest." Knight argued.

"Makes sure that the trash cans are not down in the road."

"Sounds like a pest." Knight repeated.

"N-no, he's not like that. I think he's more of a friend than a pest, Knight." Kwangsoo defended the Bloodline fron Knight.

"Someone who can't mind his own business, yeah."

The Bloodline enters the ring and Sana snatches a mic from a production staff after requesting one. The entrance theme has been stopped from playing in the background to let The Bloodline start their opening segment.

"SAPPORO!" The crowd cheered.

"THE BLOODLINE IS NOW IN YOUR CITY!!!" Sana raised his finger to the sky, encouraging the rest to do the same as their sign of acknowledgment to the powerful group.

"THROW YOUR ONES UP! THROW YOUR ONES UP! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU, THROW YOUR ONES UP RIGHT NOW!" Sana commanded the crowd as he circled around the ring to let every sides hear her audibly.

"That's what I'm talking about! I'm feeling the heat- do you feel it Minari? You know what I mean?"

"Yeah."

"Yes, ofcourse you do!"  Sana high fived Mina and hugged her which elicited a gummy smile from the champion.

Sana turns over to her left to ask the same question to YN. She was about to hug her but YN glared sharply at her, effectively paused her movements and instead retreats her hands from almost touching the irritated individual.

"W-well we do have some serious things to talk about, yes. But right now I want to talk about this. You know, growing up as a young Honorary Muse-"

Sana was interrupted by YN during her speech which puzzled the latter as he used his mic to speak up to her.

"Alright, look. I got it now Sana, That's funny but you gotta chill." YN said.

"Y-yeah... chill." Sana got shy and decided to just understand it, backing away as she nodded.

YN took the spotlight, having the initiative to express what's on my mind next. "To all the doubters and haters, your Empire Chief Yuta Nakamoto is still your Japan Fjghtful Federation World Champion!"

The crowd becomes divided with their reaction. Some went cheered, some gestured and echoed boos at them.

"At Clash In The Combat, Yuta Nakamoto beats Kim Jennie in front of her hometown!" YN continued. "Little does Jennie just know how this bloodline runs deep!"

"And now, Sapporo. I want everybody to get off their feet." Mina speaks up after her twin brother. "Put your ones to the sky and help me welcome the newest member of the Bloodline: the fighting machine and our younger cousin, Hirai Momo!!!"

Everyone did the gesture as the theme played in the arena, lights directed at the entranceway when Hirai Momo finally emerged for the first time in the main roster, allowing the crowd to take a closer and clearer look at her appearance for them to be familiar with now that they learn that this dangerous woman right here is now a new member of such a dominant faction in JFF's recent times.

Momo enters the ring. The Myouis greeted their younger cousin, and Sana did a kind nod before they let her stand in the center.

Sana reached for another mic and gave it to Momo, who is about to address something in front of the live audience.

She stood straight and with tough composure, staring fiercely into the camera as she raised the mic near her mouth to prepare herself.

The crowd is going louder with the boos, but the stoic woman is left unbothered thanks to the additional support being sent by Sana, who is whispering it to her.

"You come for my family, and I did surely as hell that I will come for you." Momo spoke her first lines to the main roster as she pointed at the camera to sent a message directly to Jennie who is watching at the backstage.

"You create problems, and I finish it." Momo glared seriously around the fans who are watching her, probably dissatisfied and disliking the decision of her also adapting the unpleasant character being possessed by her family members.

"Hirai Momo is here to stay and I promise you, because of me... The Bloodline just became stronger and better than ever." Momo assured as The Myouis and Sana all nodded in agreement.

"Because Kim Jennie, you're just a part of the twos... and WE. THE. ONES!" Mina exclaimed, signalling the others to do their symbol of higher power again with confidence.

Suddenly, the crowd erupted in cheers when the arena played another theme, but this time it wasn't coming from a cold-blooded fighter but rather a vengeful and defensive one who has his sights set on these people in the ring responsible for her loss at Clash In The Combat that she didn't deserve to get.

Kim Jennie walks out and marches into the entranceway with a steel chair in hand. All of The Bloodline members left and stayed out of the ring as they let Momo, who remained inside, take care of this problem on her own.

"Uh oh, Kim's heading to the ring and Hirai's not backing down." Knight said as he watches the scenario going on.

As Jennie reaches the unoccupied side of the ring, Momo approaches her, but she caught her off guard when she pushed the folded chair through her midsection, bending Momo as she stepped back into the ring.

Jennie enters, and she was about to smash the chair off into Momo's back when, out of nowhere, Sana hurries and pushes Momo away, causing her to be the one who takes the impact of the chair smashing onto her back.

Sana gritted her teeth and reacted painfully to that hit. The Myouis distracted Jennie by attempting to go into the ropes, just for Sana to roll out of the ring. They ran and helped Sana and Momo, who were attacked, as Jennie stared down at them furiously.

"I want you. I WANT YOU TONIGHT!" Jennie shouted at Momo.

"You want to fight me?"

"YEAH!"

"YEAH! COME ON! YOU WANT A FIGHT, YOU GOT IT!" Momo points at Jennie with a smug on her face.

"LET'S DO THIS!"

" I'LL BEAT YOUR ASS TONIGHT!"

"It looks like Kim Jennie wants a match to happen tonight wth Hirai Momo. She clearly haven't forgotten what she did to her last Saturday which costs her to win the title from Yuta." Knight said before the camera cuts to a backstage interview with another fighter.

---------------------

After two matches have passed, the crowd and the people watching through their TVs at home had their attention shifted back to The Bloodline when they were showed at their locker room having a group meeting together.

"You got this, Momoring. This is it. This is what you've been waiting for!" Mina motivates Momo who is getting pumped up, nodding through every uplifting words being said to her.

"Yeah, level up. Level up with that, couz." YN joins with Mina's thread of encouragement.

They both stopped when they heard the door open, their eyes drew towards Sana who just entered the room.

Mina and YN looked at Sana who became unresponsive, especially when Momo stepped forward and stared intensely at Sana before her eyes travelled up and down to check out The Honorary Uce.

"Yuta said he chose a girl, huh." Momo stated.

She scoffed. "You?"

YN grinned at Momo's tone sounding like she's judging Sana's apperance while Mina remains blank as she just listened closely to their conversation.

"He's right. I appreciate the help on this one, Sana."

YN's smile faded away, he crunched his forehead and massaged it while Mina smiled at Momo's appreciation for Sana's service.

"Well..." Sana grinned and chuckled. "I mean...  Yuta knows what he's talking about so..."

"Ugh bruh please..." YN spat out bitterly with a slight disguise of hilariousness in his smile.

Mina and Momo glared at YN while Sana exhaustedly and unbelievably glanced at YN.

"Now what?!" Sana snapped out as she heard that same belittling and mockery of a remark she always get from YN.

"What?" YN pretends like he didn't knew what he did.

"He's at it again!"

"Sana. Sana, calm down. Please." Mina said as she acted immediately to lessen Sana's irritation.

"Tonight ain't even about this, guys. Tonight is about her!" Mina pointed to Momo as she scolds the quarreling duo. "She's about to make a statement for The Bloodline, right? Because Momo here is now a representative for The Bloodline."

"Yeah, I know but I just want to let him know and I want her to know that with anything you need, we are all here looking out for you, okay?" Sana responded to Mina and reminded Momo simulteanously.

"Yes."

"He knows."

"Yeah, I know he knows." Sana stated the obvious.

"But tonight he needs to do it alone." YN did a reminder of his own too. "Kim Jennie called you out, sis."

"Yeah yeah she did and she will regret it." Momo nodded, agreeing to YN. "YN, right, that's why I have to do it on my own... but if I needed help, I trust you."

Momo looks at Sana. "You got it."

Sana was about to invite Momo for a handshake when YN slapped her hand away, startling Sana while Momo shuts her eyes and gritted her teeth in annoyance at these two's dislike for each other.

"Scratch that. No, change of plans. Tonight, we all will be going out there. Sounds cool?"

"I'm in with that." Mina is in favor with YN's suggestion.

"That's good."

"It's cool, I guess." Sana just shrugged and pursed her lip.

"Yeah, let's go. You can do it, Momo!"

YN, Mina and Sana exchanges words of motivation again to hype up and help Momo be fully engaged for a battle later on with Jennie by keeping her to realize how important it is for her to win tonight.

----------------------

It has come to the main event for tonight. Jennie and Momo had their respective entrances, with Momo having her first ever entrance in the main roster after debuting last week through a surprise appearance during Yuta and Jennie's title match.

They settled the ring and stood at each corner, where they eyed each other with all seriousness. The referee became convinced to start the match, the bell rang, and both immediately charged at each other.

During the match, Momo tried to run towards Jennie, but she avoided it, throwing her instead from the top ring, rolling in the canvas, and ending up outside the ring.

Mina climbs near the turnbuckle, where she tried to distract the referee and Jennie, but without effect, as she rather ate a right-hand punch from Jennie.

Jennie plans to fly and crash through Momo and Mina, who are being checked over by Sana. He ran through the ropes to boost her momentum, but he got caught by Sana, who clutched one of her feet to disturb the advantage.

Jennie tugged on Sana's hair and pulled her up, enabling her to yank her inside the ring. Sana ached at how strong the impact was when her back was the first thing that landed on the hard surface at that height.

As Sana crawls away from Jennie, she doesn't have any idea that the latter is instead thinking the opposite. She went into the other turnbuckle and raises his arm, the crowd cheered when they recognized already what does it mean.

"3...."

"2...

"1!!!"

Jennie began to ran when Sana rotated her body, aiming for a Pink Venom only to meet with a devastating superkick from Momo right into her face. The sound of the impact was so crunchy that it made the commentators went "ooh" on the contact.

Sana rolled out of the ring. Momo pinned Jennie who collapsed in the canvas. The referee started to pin.

"1... 2..."

Jennie kicks out at two, swinging her body to the side. Momo was stunned, even Mina, who is watching on the ringside, had her hands placed on her head in disbelief that Jennie was still able to hold on.

Momo put all of her strength into slowly lifting Jennie's body until she could stand again. She tried to carry her on her shoulders, but Jennie hopped out, rotating her body and rather meeting a headbutt from Jennie.

Jennie ran through the ropes. However, The Myouis dumped her out of the ring by tugging the ropes down. The referee didn't see that since he was busy dealing with Sana, distracting him with her fake complaints.

Because of that, The Myouis had the opportunity to unleash a beatdown on Jennie, both punching her at the same time.

YN stood up and did some stomps to Jennie's midsection while monitoring if the referee stopped giving Sana attention. They were so busy weakening Jennie that they weren't aware that they had just awakened a calvary for them.

"Wait a second! Here comes TXT!" Knight Yoo calls out the involvement of the tag team who just recently got drafted from War to be a part of Shutdown.

"Huening Kai, Choi Beomgyu trying to even the score!" Kai and Beomgyu was seen punching each of The Myouis, seperating them away from the mauled Jennie.

Sana saw what's happening at the ringside near the ramp. She joined the fray, helping Mina taking out Kai while Beomgyu is still busy fighting YN.

When they saw that YN successfully put down Beomgyu, Mina and Sana joined him, and now all three of them have begun teaming up against the dominated fighter.

Little did they know that Kai was slowly climbing to the turnbuckle. Sana titled her head and caught a glimpse of their enemy now standing high on top. She alerted Mina and YN, but of course that only sets up Kai to perform his attack in mind.

He jumped from the turnbuckle, did a high dive, and crashed through all three members of The Bloodline, creating a dump of beaten bodies at ringside.

The crowd cheered at how awesome the fight sequence they were witnessing was. Multiple attacks and crazy spots back-to-back are enough to make the match already awesome and interesting to watch.

Jennie recovered from the hits she took from The Bloodline, returning to the ring. Momo, who is also recovered, slowly approaches Jennie and tries to carry her again on her shoulder, but Jennie hops out and pushes her to the ropes.

Both catapulted from each other, but that's the secret for Jennie to execute a Pink Venom rocket kick to Momo's face, who slid away from the ring after Jennie hit her finisher.

Jennie roared in rage after Momo gave her more business to throw her back in the ring and finally pin her.

She was about to, but in a shocking incident, someone just appeared from behind Jennie, trapping her neck in a choke hold. "OH MY GOD! I-IT'S KANG SEULGI!!!" Both Knight and Kwangsoo scream their lungs out at the surprise interference caused by this fighter. This wasn't the first time Seulgi targeted Jennie but her apperance still became unexpected because this match mostly highlights being Momo's in ring debut in the main roster.

FLASHBACK

AUGUST 5, 2023 | 1 MONTH AGO

The Bloodline is having a segment to close the show with Sana being absent due to her incoming match for the Fatal 5 Way No.1 Contender for the Intercontinental Title and Jinyoung also who is still on the recovery after the beating he got from Yuta's previous opponent and his former long-time client back at SuperSlam.

"But there's a few things that needs to eb addressed before we get into all of that." says the Empire Chief and the current World Champion Yuta Nakamoto.

"You see, number one. Let's talk about Jeong Jihoon." Yuta mentioned the name of Jinyoung's former client and one of his longtime and popular archenemies he had throughout his entire fighting career who he beat at SuperSlam to finally close their book once and for all.

The crowd slightly booed more because the crowd of Hiroshima mostly supports The Empire Chief.

"Hey, I hate him too." Yuta heard that reception and agreed with them. "I hate Jeong Jihoon... but I respect that man."

....YET I STILL HATE JEONG JIHOON!" Yuta repeated when he noticed that the crowd died down when he complimented him. Fortunately, the crowd cheered again.

"It is not what you think. We hate Jeong Jihoon because he tried to kill the wiseman." Yuta explained. "As you can see, we don't have our special adviser here. We're not sure when is he going to be back so at the end of the day, that's what happens.

You get to be slammed repeatedly onto the table and you'll get to be brought onto the hospital so right now, I just want to send my prayers to the wiseman."

Their segment got interrupted when the arena played the entrance theme and titrantron of 'The Korean Warrior' Kim Jennie, stealing the attention of The Bloodline with Yuta furrowing his eyebrows.

"I don't think that's what prayer sounds like." Kwangsoo said.

"Yeah I'm not sure that Yuta's done either." Knight agreed. "But here comes the woman Yuta is going to face at Clash In The Combat, the number 1 contender for the title, Kim Jennie."

Jennie has a mic in hand and uses it to speak to The Bloodline about her thoughts. "These peopl have heard enough, all I want is to get my hands on you and I can't wait until Clash In The Combat." she said as she walked down in the ramp.

"But if you all want me to tear apart The Bloodline right now, LET ME HEAR YOU SCREAM!" Jennie throws away the mic as some of the Hiroshima people created noises in their anticipation for an impending brawl here to happen.

Jennie flexes her hands as she slowly makes her way into the ring. The Myouis and Yuta became alert and prepared for his attack until both sides and the entire crowd present in the arena were distracted when a familiar gloomy and tragic entrance theme and a titantron displaying a visual of dark clouds, a red moon, and a silhouette of a black crow little by little flew closer and disappeared at the bottom of the arena.

The Bloodline and Jennie kept on watching when suddenly neither of them noticed that Jennie got blindsided from behind when she took a blow to her back caused by an individual who, for others, had already recognized this woman.

The referee saw it and had no other choice but to instantly command for the ring to be rung, concluding this match to be a no contest, meaning that none of the fighters were a winner or loser.

"What the?" Knight said as he tries to figure out what's going on with Jennie being repeatedly slapped and punched by this mysterious person.

"Is that..?" Kwangsoo on the other hand, seems to almost recognize the woman ahead than Knight.

"Jennie is assaulted and ambushed by... that can't be. I-is that?"

"KANG SEULGI?!" both Knight and Kwangsoo finally corrected the identity of this woman who just made a surprise return into the main roster.

Seulgi proceeded to slam Jennie's head over and over again into the steel steps before she screams terrifyingly.

"Kang Seulgi is back and she's attacking Kim Jennie! The former 2 time champion in Japan Fightful Federation's developmental program is making her return to the main roster after she left the company 2 years ago!" Knight explained to everybody watching who might have forgotten this menacing and diabolical dark personified fighter has been since before.

As Jennie slowly crawled away from Seulgi, she lifted her body up only to receive a killer elbow swing from Seulgi to the back of her head.

Seulgi slowly stood up and faced The Bloodline, who was just watching her click the lights off Jennie's senses.

She reached out to her bag, which she had dropped aside before charging through Jennie. Seulgi pulled out her signature black hourglass and placed it at the ring, in front of The Bloodline, especially at the one she's sending a message to: Yuta Nakamoto.

She reversed the hourglass, letting its sand inside to start falling down.

"If anybody might have been confused what does this mean..."

"It means, tick tock. The clock is ticking. Could it be Seulgi is probably telling Yuta that his reign is running out of time, ladies and gentlemen." Knight cited his insights as Yuta was shown confused alongside YN and Mina who all don't get what does this hourglass symbolizes for their faction's fate.

The show then ended with Seulgi standing at Jennie's unconscious body while staring down The Bloodline and pointing directly at Yuta's title, confirming Knight's guess.

After her return, she began doing segments explaining why did she attacked Jennie and her intentions to everybody in the Shutdown roster.

She continued to disturb both The Bloodline and Kim Jennie. Back at The Bloodline holding a celebration for Yuta Nakamoto's 2 years anniversary of his championship reign, she sent out a cryptic gift to Minatozaki Sana who is the one in charge of hosting the ceremony.

She was confused and weirded out why would anybody would gift a champion... a bouquet of black roses with a message saying "Enjoy while it lasts."

Seulgi was also present at the main event of Clash In The Combat as she watches Yuta and Jennie fight for the titles. That's why she's aware of Jennie's defeat and the expansion of The Bloodline with Momo's surprise debut being the cause for Yuta to retain the titles.

END OF FLASHBACK

"THIS LUNATIC IS CHOKING JENNIE OUT!" Knight said as Seulgi succeeds on making Jennie powerless, crashing onto the canvas where it allowed her to tighten the hold further and wrap her legs around Jennie to make her sleeper hold unescapable.

"The Queen Of Doom, this crazed maniacal Seulgi delivering the doomsday prophecy she has prepared for The Korean Warrior!"

Jennie is doing everything she can to escape Seulgi's sleephold, slapping and hitting her head from behind but that only makes the latter become infuriated and tighten the choke even more, which Jennie now started to struggle on her breathing.

"We need help out here! Somebody send help to Jennie here guys!" Knight pleaded on the commentary as they can see how Jennie is beginning to fade away.

"Wait, Jennie is trying to fight her way out of Seulgi's sleeper hold!" Kwangsoo reacts as the crowd cheered when Jennie slightly gets up on her knees with Seulgi still wrapped on her back.

"... but not enough." Knight continued when the crowd became saddened that Jennie has already given up, her body dropped again. "Kang Seulgi has completely decimated Kim Jennie."

The show ends with The Bloodline walking out of the arena as Momo didn't lose nor win in her first match while Jennie was left faded to black by Seulgi until the medical and security personnel finally rushed to the ring to provide assistance for Jennie and separate Seulgi from her.
