Chapter 24: A Secret Chop of Death

(One week later)

A week after his Blissful session with Alexa, Bullet Club's triple champion Alex Young Blood was now in fight mode as he defends his IWGP Jr. Heavyweight title inside the chain link structure known as Elimination Chamber against five other men, and three of those five was the man he defeated to win the title, the Aerial Assassin Will Ospreay, another was Kenny's friend Kota Ibushi and finally the other one was the legendary Jushin "Thunder" Liger.

In his locker room, he was wrapping his hands and remembered Alexa's request to use the song she collaborated with the band Bowling For Soup. He got on his phone and searched up the song and found it.

Meanwhile, the show has started with the first match being Alexa and Nikki's match as they defend their two pairs of women's tag titles against former champions the Tokyo Cyber Squad. On the last Raw before Elimination Chamber, Alexa fought Konami one on one until the match ended in DQ which resulted in Nikki to return and help out the Goddess to repel against the Squad.

Alex then heard a knock on the door.

Alex: yeah?

Io: Alex, it's me can I come in?

Alex: sure Io, it's open

The Genius of the Sky went in to see Alex on his phone; she sat next to him.

Io: what's this song?

Alex: it's Alexa's song she collaborated with Bowling For Soup, and she wants me to use this for my entrance theme later

Io: well play it, and let's listen to it

Alex pressed play and the two listened and watched the video.

As the two watched, Alex couldn't help but cringe at the first 46 seconds of the video, however he likes the song itself. The first 46 saw two boys and a group of older men on the computer as they use augmented reality to bring Alexa to their bedroom.

Minutes later, the song ended and Alex and Io gave their review on it.

Io: I like it, you should use it for your entrance theme

Alex: the song is good, but who in the hell directed this video? I mean, look a room well more like a shrine to Alexa with these two boys and a group of older men

Io: I do agree with you, that part is creepy

Alex: whoever directed this video is in the fanbase area where they give Alexa's biscuits more "likes" than Larry Steve on Twitter

Io hugged Alex to calm him down.

Io: there there, what's important is the song is really good

Alex: yeah, like a tribute to my love

Io: oh look, Alexa and Nikki are about to end it

On screen, Nikki just flattened Kyona with the fisherman neckbreaker and tagged in the Goddess for the Twisted Bliss as BlissCross Applesauce retained their titles.

Backstage, Alexa joined Alex and Io as the Goddess was lifted into the air by her loving boyfriend followed by a passionate lip to lip kiss.

Alex: I'm so proud of you babe

Alexa: thank you so much

She put her titles down on the table.

Alexa: so, did you two listen to Bowling's new song about me?

Io: yeah we did

Alex: I gotta be honest, the song is great, but I have some irks on the video

Alexa: which part?

Alex: the first 46 seconds of it with the two boys and the group of older men using a computer to project you to their room

Io: I agree with Alex on this, that was creepy

Alexa: I see, but what about the song itself?

Alex: I'll be definitely using it for my entrance theme

Alexa smiled and hugged him.

Alexa: please be careful

Alex: I'll be fine

The three went to watch the show as Alex's match wasn't until later due to it being the main event. The three watched Kenny's match as he defends the IWGP Heavyweight title against his Bullet Club predecessors Finn Balor and AJ Styles. Prior to the match, Finn has changed and repackaged himself as Prinxe Balor, becoming a combo of his past as Prince Devitt with his Demon King habits still inside of him.

Throughout the match, it was back and forth between three of NJPW's top gaijin as they adapted each other's moves like Balor's Bloody Sunday and AJ's Styles Clash. However, as the smoke cleared, Kenny came up on top after nailing Balor with the One-Winged Angel.

As Kenny went to do his post-match celebration, he was interrupted by the Messiah Seth Rollins. The Messiah along with his heavy hitters AOP made their way down to confront the Cleaner. Rollins looked at the IWGP title and went to stake his shot as he wants to fight Kenny at WrestleMania. The Cleaner smirked and went on to point at Seth with the gun taunt, indicating he accepted the Messiah's challenge. As things weren't looking good for Kenny, the Young Bucks made their way down to even the odds for their Bullet Club leader. Seth and the AOP backed up and exited the ring.

It didn't take too long for WWE and New Japan management to confirm the match for WrestleMania.

Backstage, Alex clapped for his friend for a successful title defense.

Alex: wow, now Kenny has his hands full with the so called Messiah

Alexa: that is going to be a great match

Minutes later, it was now time for the main event, the Elimination Chamber match for the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship. The two girls gave Alex good luck kisses to his cheek and decided to give him good luck nibbles to his neck as well.

Alex: you two will be the death of me

He left the locker room bringing along his three championship belts.

(In the ring)

The Chamber was already lowered down; Mustafa Ali, Ricochet, Will Ospreay and Jushin "Thunder" Liger were in the glass pods while Ibushi was ready. Alex made his promise to use Alexa's song and the Pharaoh made his entrance with a smirk on his face while he stared at the structure.

He got in the ring and the referee locked the Chamber. The bell rang and the Pharaoh and the Golden Lover locked up. The two made a crazy move sequence by avoiding each other's hits.

(5 minutes later)

The next to enter was Ali, and the 205 Live veteran took out Alex and Kota with a diving cross body. Ali nailed Kota with a missile dropkick and a rolling X-Factor on Alex.

(5 minutes later)

The Aerial Assassin was next to come out and he immediately went after Alex. Will and Alex traded shots while Kota and Ali were throwing each other in the chain wall. Alex and will knew each other, so they avoided each other's rapid fire shots.

Five minutes passed, and the next pod to open was Ricochet's. The Resident Superhero got in the ring and stared down at his old rival, Will Ospreay as memories of their 2016 Best of the Super Juniors came flooding back. Ricochet and Ospreay flew and flipped all over the ring while Alex joined the fight with Ali and Kota.

Five minutes later, the legendary Liger entered the match and laid out everyone with right hand shots.

(Fast forward with the eliminations)

Ali missed the 054 and Alex capitalized with the Blood Cutter, scoring the first elimination of the match.

Ibushi took out Alex with the Golden Star Powerbomb, but the Pharaoh kicked out; the Golden Star went for another one, but he was ambushed by Ospreay's Oscutter and the Aerial Assassin eliminated the Golden Star.

Ricochet went for the 630 on Liger, but the legend rolled out of the way and finished the One and Only with the Liger Bomb.

Ospreay fazed Alex with the Robinson Special corkscrew kick, and looked to end it with the Pip Pip Cheerio flying forearm. The Aerial Assassin measured the Pharaoh, and jumped, but he was caught with a midair Blood Cutter from the champion, resulting in Ospreay's elimination.

Liger and Alex traded shot after shot with suspenseful kickouts. Liger landed two Liger Bombs, but somehow Alex kept kicking out. The same can be said as Alex landed three Blood Cutters and Liger kicked out. However in the end, after countering a third Liger Bomb into the Blood Cutter, Alex retained his Jr. Heavyweight title.

As the chamber rised, Alex helped Jushin to his feet and offered his hand. Liger accepted it and the two embraced in sportsmanship. Liger left the ring to let Alex soak in his win as the Pharaoh was handed his three titles.

However, his celebration was interrupted by an ominous violin intro.

The man who wrestling fans call Death himself, the King and one of the most terrifying and dangerous pro wrestlers Minoru Suzuki walked out with his frightening grin on his face as he marched his way down to confront Alex.

The Pharaoh stood his ground and looked at Death straight in the eyes while Minoru laughed and stuck his tongue out. The King set his gaze upon Alex's WWE Intercontinental Championship. Alex saw him looking and set his two other titles down and raised the white strap in front of Suzuki's face.

The two men traded a verbal tirade, but they were interrupted by another theme.

Out came the current NXT UK Champion, Der Ring General and leader of the faction Imperium WALTER with his arms behind his back as the crowd sang along to his theme. WALTER went in the ring and had a brief stare down with Suzuki before turning his attention to Alex. Der Ring General eyed the white strap, and now Alex was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Suzuki turned WALTER around and trash talked him saying he wants a shot. As Alex watched the two men argue, he attempted to exit the ring, but he was ambushed from behind by Buddy Murphy.

Alex fought back and traded shots with the Best Kept Secret until WALTER and Suzuki joined in on the brawl. The four men brawled in the ring.

Murphy attempted to faze Suzuki with his high knee strikes, but all what Suzuki did was laughed it off with no pain registering. Suzuki laid out Murphy with the Gotch Style Piledriver. WALTER did his signature knife edge chop to the King, and to the Ring General's shock, Minoru absorbed the shot and laughed while he stuck his tongue out. WALTER and Suzuki traded shots until Alex took them out with a missile dropkick.

Alex sent WALTER over the ropes, and used all of his energy to lay out Suzuki with a monstrous Blood Cutter. Alex stood over the King's body and raised his Intercontinental title. He got out of the ring with his three titles and backed up. 

In the ring, Suzuki laid flat on his back, and the camera shot shows that he's smiling and laughing. At ringside, WALTER and Murphy recovered from the chaos.

WWE and New Japan management has confirmed another match for WrestleMania.

Backstage, Alex saw the news and now will be in a world of hurt as he defends his Intercontinental title against three dangerous men. He went into his locker room where he was met with hugs and kisses from Alexa and Io.

Alexa: great match baby

Io: you did so well!

Alex: thanks girls, but now Suzuki is going after me at WrestleMania

Alexa: even WALTER and Murphy

Alex: I have my hands full

Io: worry about them soon, so for now let the two of us give you your reward

Alexa: let's go home

Alex: okay, but let me wash up first

A few minutes later, Alex changed into his casual clothes and the triple champion and his two girlfriends went home where the Pharaoh will get his reward from the Goddess and the Genius of the Sky.
