At ''CHIKARA Young Lions Cup VII Night III'', August 16, 2009, there was a four-way tag team elimination match with Team F.I.S.T. (Icarus and Gran Akuma) vs. Chiva V[=/=]Halcon Guerrero vs. Wrestling/{{The Colony|Wrestling}}) (Soldier Ant and Green Ant) vs. The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple (Mantis and [[Wrestling/HunterJohnston Delirious]]). It came down to F.I.S.T. and the Order. A masked man in white walked to the ring and placed a box in the Temple's corner, distracting Mantis enough for Akuma to pin him. After the match, Mantis opened the box and found it contained a message reading "A War Is Coming."

* LeftHanging: Pinkie and Nøkken defeated Battleborn (Wrestling/JukeJointLucasCalhoun and Wrestling/MissileAssaultMan) to win the Tag Team Gauntlet at ''King of Trios 2015 Night III'', September 6, 2015, giving them their third point for a shot at the CHIKARA Campeonatos de Parejas. Nøkken left CHIKARA immediately after this show and later deleted his Website/{{Twitter}}. He was thought to have left wrestling all together until it was revealed he was still active, unmasked, as TJ Marconi. Pinkie left CHIKARA on bad terms a year later and then CHIKARA closed entirely in mid 2020, with them never having cashed in their earned title shot.

* MatryoshkaObject: The 2014 version of the BDK (Ares, Nøkken, Tursas and Milo Schnitzler) were part of The Flood, the amalgamation of {{Heel}} groups out to destroy CHIKARA, which was led by Wrestling/{{Deucalion}}.

Die Bruderschaft des Kreuzes ("The Brotherhood of the Cross" in German) was a ProfessionalWrestling PowerStable in Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}}. The group formed at the end of the 2009 SeasonFinale ''Three-Fisted Tales'' on November 22, 2009, as the culmination of storylines going back to 2007. At ''The Sordid Perils of Everyday Existence'', November 11, 2007, Wrestling/ShaneStorm had defeated Hydra, a member of Wrestling/{{UltraMantis Black}}'s The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple, when Hydra essentially sacrificed himself to end Storm's losing streak. Later that night, Wrestling/ChrisHero defeated Equinox (Wrestling/VinGerard) in a Mask vs. Hair match by breaking the CHIKARA Special[[note]]a submission hold innovated by Mike Quackenbush to utilize against Hero and subsequently taught to the entire ''tecnico'' side of the locker room. Hero - top heel - would have a short losing streak against old enemies and midcarders, all of whom made him tap to the CHIKARA Special[[/note]] and forcing Equinox to tap out to the hold himself. It would slowly be revealed that Storm was the one who sold out the ''[[{{Face}} tecnicos]]'' by giving the counter to Mantis who gave it to Hero, and that Mantis and CHIKARA Commissioner Creator/BobSaget (yes, Bob Saget) had brokered a deal to send Hero to wrestle for Dr. Cube, the BigBad of Wrestling/KaijuBigBattel, in exchange for Cube giving Mantis the Eye of Tyr, a Myth/{{Norse Mytholog|y}}ical artifact that can be used to control minds.

At ''Cibernetico Increible'' on October 18th, there was a Trios Increibles match with The [=UnStable=]'s Colin Delaney, the Temple's Wrestling/{{Crossbones|TheWrestler}} and Icarus vs. Team F.I.S.T.'s Wrestling/ChuckTaylor, The [=UnStable=]'s STIGMA (the former Shane Storm) and Mantis. During the match, the masked man appeared on the video screen, and then he and a much larger man showed up, scaring Mantis away from the match. That same night, Carpenter Ant won the Cibernetico match by making Soldier Ant tap out to the Inverted CHIKARA Special, which Wrestling/MikeQuackenbush had supposedly taught only to Tim Donst. At ''Three-Fisted Tales'', the main event was [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/pa/e/chikara/chikara-t.html CHIKARA Campeones de Parejas]] The Colony (Fire Ant and Soldier Ant) defeating Wrestling/TheOsirianPortal (Amasis and Ophidian). After the match, the two masked men walked out, with the larger man actually pushing down the guardrail. The regular-sized man took the mic and cut a promo starting with the first quote above. Many CHIKARA wrestlers made their way out to see what was happening, with Quackenbush and Wrestling/ClaudioCastagnoli confronting the two men. The man pointed to The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple (Mantis, Delirious and Vökoder) and said, "Send me the man with the real power." The Order walked to the ring, with Mantis handing Vökoder the Eye of Tyr. Mantis told the two men, "I'm sick of all your video threats. I'm sick of you interfering in my business. And quite frankly, I'm sick of you. I don't even know who you are." The larger man removed his mask to reveal a horned mask. His name would later be revealed to be Tursas. Then the regular-sized man removed his mask, causing Mantis' two years of machinations to completely blow up in his face. The man would be revealed to be Ares, Claudio's former Swiss Money Holding partner who had last been seen in CHIKARA in 2006. Quack turned to Claudio, who hit him with a European Uppercut. Carpenter Ant attacked The Colony, Vökoder attacked [=UltraMantis=] Black, Wrestling/SaraDelRey and Wrestling/DaizeeHaze made their way out and just attacked whoever was available, and all seven heels completely cleaned house. They all stood shoulder-to-shoulder, and Ares instructed Carpenter Ant to unmask, revealing Wrestling/PinkieSanchez. Then Vökoder unmasked, revealing Tim Donst, who had appeared earlier that night as himself.

* DisappointedInYou: The 2010 SeasonFinale ''Reality Is Relative'' was not a good night for them.[[note]]Tim Donst defeated Jimmy Equinox Olsen, their only win of the night.[[/note]] Wrestling/TheOsirianPortal (Amasis/Ophidian/Jonathan Gresham) defeated Delirious/Lince Dorado/Pinkie Sanchez. Eddie Kingston defeated Tursas. The Colony (Fire and Soldier) defeated Sara and Daizee[[note]]Who suffered a broken nose due to an error by Soldier.[[/note]] Before the match where Mike Quackenbush and Wrestling/{{Jigsaw|Wrestling}} defeated Ares and Claudio for the tag titles, Claudio was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUvjDWW5g9U shown backstage]] tearing into Pinkie, Lince, Tursas and Sara, even saying, "You have no idea how disappointed I am in you right now."

* FriendOrIdolDecision: At the 2011 SeasonFinale [=iPPV=] ''High Noon'' on November 13, 2011, there was a ''Lucha de Apuesta'' between The Spectral Envoy ([=UltraMantis Black=] and Wrestling/{{Hallowicked}}) and the BDK (Ares and Tim Donst). If Mantis or Wicked lost the fall, he would have lost his mask. If Ares lost the fall, he had to surrender the Eye of Tyr. If Donst lost the fall, he had to lose his hair. Late in the match, Donst, [[ItsAllAboutMe caring more about his hair and his Young Lions Cup]], abandoned the match, leading to Mantis driving Ares through a chair with a Cosmic Disaster for the pin.

* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Tursas (6'8, 376 lbs.) and Daizee (5'4. 110 lbs.), respectively, teamed up to defeat The Throwbacks (Wrestling/DasherHatfield and Wrestling/SugarDunkerton) at ''CHIKARA Aniversario Zehn'' on May 22, 2010.

* LeftHanging: Pinkie and Nøkken defeated Battleborn (Wrestling/JukeJointLucasCalhoun and Wrestling/MissileAssaultMan) to win the Tag Team Gauntlet at ''King of Trios 2015 Night III'', September 6, 2015, giving them their third point for a shot at the CHIKARA Campeonatos de Parejas. Nøkken left CHIKARA immediately after this show. He later deleted his Website/{{Twitter}} and appeared to have left wrestling altogether. With Pinkie leaving a year later, it's likely that they will never cash in those points.

* MatryoshkaObject: The 2014 version of the BDK (Ares, Nøkken, Tursas and Dr. Milo Schnitzler) were part of The Flood, the amalgamation of {{Heel}} groups out to destroy CHIKARA, which was led by Wrestling/{{Deucalion}}.

** TakeThatAudience: Lince Dorado said that he joined because of how the fans hadn't cared about him, which was actually correct.

They would go on to dominate CHIKARA for the next year, eventually breaking up in 2012. They would return in 2014 and finally collapse once and for all in 2016.

At ''Cibernetico Increible'' on October 18th, there was a Trios Increibles match with The [=UnStable=]'s Colin Delaney, the Temple's Wrestling/{{Crossbones|TheWrestler}} and Icarus vs. Team F.I.S.T.'s Wrestling/ChuckTaylor, The [=UnStable=]'s STIGMA (the former Shane Storm) and Mantis. During the match, the masked man appeared on the video screen, and then he and a much larger man showed up, scaring Mantis away from the match. That same night, Carpenter Ant won the Cibernetico match by making Soldier Ant tap out to the Inverted CHIKARA Special, which Wrestling/MikeQuackenbush had supposedly taught only to Tim Donst.

Die Bruderschaft des Kreuzes was a ProfessionalWrestling PowerStable in Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}}. The group formed at the end of the 2009 SeasonFinale ''Three-Fisted Tales'' on November 22, 2009, as the culmination of storylines going back to 2007. At ''The Sordid Perils of Everyday Existence'', November 11, 2007, Wrestling/ShaneStorm had defeated Hydra, a member of Wrestling/{{UltraMantis Black}}'s The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple, when Hydra essentially sacrificed himself to end Storm's losing streak. Later that night, Wrestling/ChrisHero defeated Equinox (Wrestling/VinGerard) in a Mask vs. Hair match by breaking the CHIKARA Special and forcing Equinox to tap out to the hold himself. It would slowly be revealed that Storm was the one who sold out the ''[[{{Face}} tecnicos]]'' by giving the counter to Mantis who gave it to Hero, and that Mantis and CHIKARA Commissioner Creator/BobSaget (yes, Bob Saget) had brokered a deal to send Hero to wrestle for Dr. Cube, the BigBad of Wrestling/KaijuBigBattel, in exchange for Cube giving Mantis the Eye of Tyr, a Myth/{{Norse Mytholog|y}}ical artifact that can be used to control minds. At ''CHIKARA Young Lions Cup VII Night III'', August 16, 2009, there was a four-way tag team elimination match with Team F.I.S.T. (Wrestling/{{Icarus|Wrestling}} and Wrestling/GranAkuma) vs. Chiva V[=/=]Halcon Guerrero vs. Wrestling/{{The Colony|Wrestling) (Soldier Ant and Green Ant) vs. The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple (Mantis and [[Wrestling/HunterJohnston Delirious]]). It came down to F.I.S.T. and the Temple. A masked man in white walked to the ring and placed a box in the Temple's corner, distracting Mantis enough for Akuma to pin him. After the match, Mantis opened the box and found it contained a message reading "A War Is Coming." At ''Cibernetico Increible'' on October 18th, there was a Trios Increibles match with The [=UnStable=]'s Colin Delaney, the Temple's Wrestling/{{Crossbones|TheWrestler}} and Icarus vs. Team F.I.S.T.'s Wrestling/ChuckTaylor, The [=UnStable=]'s STIGMA (the former Shane Storm) and Mantis.
