Plot[]
The four Turtles are watching wrestling matches hidden in the rafters and eating pizza, and Leonardo and Raphael start to argue over pro-wrestling. Raph is insistent that his hero Ghostbear is just generally awesome on his 200th fight, while Leo maintains that wrestling is fake.
Meanwhile, Donatello reaches for the last slice of pizza, which is grabbed away from him by Michelangelo, much to Donnie's chagrin..
During their bickering, Leo falls into the ring, landing right on Ghostbear and knocking him out, his hand falling into Jessica Jaclyn's and lifted. He is instantly declared the champion of the match and handed the belt, then walked off to become the next Champion. Despite his low opinion of wrestling, Leo is all too happy to have his ego buffed and receive the perks, given the stage name of 'Primetime', Raph, Donnie and Mikey go after him to stop him from giving them all away.
Meanwhile, Donnie and Mikey spot a trio of favorite wrestlers. As a fan, Donnie moves in for a Hi-Five, but Mikey gets there first and takes it from him, irritating Donnie further.
In the Star's Room, the swaggering Leo starts mocking Raph, pointing out that wrestling is easy, and that Raph should now worship him as a champion, while Raph is adamant that Leo won through luck and wouldn't have a chance in a real fight, before storming out of the room.
Meanwhile, Donnie spots a cool scientist costume and Einstein wig, but Mikey snatches it for himself, designating himself as Leo's new Hype-Man. Donnie is now infuriated.
Later, back in the ring Jessica announced the new Wrestler while he faces off a wrestler Red Reign. However, Leo didn’t notice that it was Raph as Red Reign, and Donnie turned against them sick and tired of taking his stuff and joining Raph's side.
The arena starts and Leo starts to battle Raph. Meanwhile, Mikey tried to reason with Donnie why he turned away. Back at the ring, Leo was easily beaten down until suddenly, all of the lights had gone out. To their surprise, Ghostbear has entered the ring, recovered. Jessica then announced that they will now be in a cage for a triple trouble chaos.
Raph tells Ghostbear he has plans to defeat Leo but Ghostbear said that he doesn’t team up with turtles and he too started to battle Raph and Leo.
Mikey and Donnie admit that they need to save Leo and Raph from Ghostbear. Having an Idea, Mikey threw a lobster at Ghostbear to distract him long enough. Leo began to admit that wrestling was harder than he thought of and Raph admits Ghostbear is a fool. Then, they decided that they should work together to defeat Ghostbear. Using the Three Star Hurricane, the two turtles started to zip across the ring and beat Ghostbear up with their attack. With him defeated, the entire cage breaks down, creating a dust cloud. When it cleared, the turtles were on Ghostbear. Before Donnie could declare the winner, Jessica takes the belt and declares she is the winner.
