Hannan |
*The other person is Starlight Kid
A three-way battle between Starlight Kid, Hanan, and Hana Kimura. Normally, the focus would be on the young rivalry between Kid and Hanan, but with Hana joining in, the match will take on a completely different character. Kid is becoming the undisputed champion of the Future of Stardom Championship, but it's undeniable that she's weaker than Hana. One option would be for Kid and Hanan to team up and focus their attacks on Hana. First, Kid and Hanan will need to make Hana anxious
Hana was the first to enter the ring. Kid entered next and stood in Hana's corner, whispering something to her. Finally, Hana Kimura entered the ring. The moment she stepped over the ropes, Kid and Hana delivered a double dropkick. They continued to hit her with dropkick after dropkick. They did another double dropkick and Hana went for the cover. However, Kid stomped on Hana. Then Kid and Hana exchanged elbows. Hana intervened and the two teamed up again. However, Hana hit them both with a dropkick. Hana threatened Hana with a brainbuster. But Hana managed to counter. Hana took Hana to the ground and rolled her up. She targeted Hana's arm, but Kid also joined in and applied an armbar from both sides. Kid helped Hana up and Hana threw her over her shoulder. She cornered Hana, but Hana caught Kid's crossbody. Hana then delivered a dropkick. After sending Hana out of the ring, Hana delivered a body slam to Kid. As Hana attempts a throw, Kid counters with a DDT and a standing moonsault. Kid declares he's going for the finish and attempts a fisherman suplex, but Hana manages to escape. Hana applies a submission hold to both Kid and Hana, who has come to the rescue. Hana prepares for a brainbuster on Kid, but Hana intervenes and teams up with Kid. Hana slides in and Kid hits a 619, and as Hana throws her, Kid tries to throw her into the corner. After a series of counters, Hana slams Kid down. Hana applies a ground Manji hold to Hana. Hana gives up, and Hana is declared the winner

Queens Quest and Oedo Tai faced off in a six-woman tag team match. Watanabe Momo and Natsu Sumire had just competed for the white belt in Nagoya on November 25th. This title match was an all-out battle with both units giving their all. In Nagoya, Momo defended the belt and AZM, but Natsu once again stole the unit flag and mask. Therefore, QQ will be aiming to reclaim their stolen goods in this match
Manager Nao Yamaguchi, nicknamed "Naotan," also participated in the Oedo Tai's entrance dance. All three members of QQ appeared wearing overmasks. When AZM was called, Kagetsu gave a big round of applause. The call of "Oedo Tai is after AZM" drew laughter from both the audience and the Oedo Tai members. Kagetsu offered the transfer fee that she had promised before the match. "Oedo Tai's AZM would be good, wouldn't he?" she asked the audience for their agreement. AZM retorted, "I don't need that kind of paltry sum!" and attacked the Oedo Tai, and they all went outside the ring for a brawl. AZM slapped Kagetsu outside the ring. Kagetsu brought AZM back into the ring and stomped on him repeatedly. She threw him against the ropes and sprayed him with water. She sprayed the referee as well, and then kicked AZM in the head. AZM tried to dash, but Kagetsu pulled his leg down and Hazuki grabbed him. Kagetsu then dove in. Natsu comforted AZM, saying, "You're going to be teammates, so you have to get along." However, AZM slapped Natsu in the summer. This made Natsu furious, and she cornered AZM and stomped on her face. Natsu then subjected AZM to a Bronco Buster. Hazuki gave AZM a face wash. Kagetsu came in and kicked AZM, saying, "Is that all you've got?" AZM hit a Frankensteiner followed by a dropkick. At this point, Konami finally tagged in. Konami charged at the Oedo Tai and delivered a series of kicks to Kagetsu and Hazuki. However, Kagetsu and Hazuki teamed up. Still, Konami hung onto Kagetsu and applied an armbar. She then applied it to Hazuki, who tried to break it up. Konami hit Kagetsu with a triangle kick. Kagetsu countered, and Konami delivered a series of middle kicks. Kagetsu caught them and delivered a dragon screw. Five minutes had passed. Hazuki kicked Konami and pointed to Momo. Momo and Hazuki exchanged elbows. Momo hit Hazuki with a knee as she charged. Momo attempts a brainbuster, but Hazuki counters with a DDT. Hazuki helps Momo up, and Momo counters with a high kick, sending both of them down. AZM attempts a dropkick to Natsu. She dodges Natsu and goes for a hurricanrana, but Natsu stops her and applies a reverse Boston crab. AZM counters and rolls her up. AZM charges in with a high kick, but Natsu hits a big boot. Natsu stomps on AZM and then knees her in the stomach. She hits another big boot and a fisherman suplex. AZM kicks out, and Natsu kicks her in the head. Natsu charges in, but Konami cuts her off, and AZM attempts a brainbuster, followed by a kick from Konami and a roll-up. Natsu kicks out, and AZM delivers a diving foot stomp. However, Natsu kicks out on her own. AZM jumps on Natsu from behind and applies a spinning leg lock. Oedo Tai cuts her off, and AZM applies a Mystica-style armlock to Natsu. However, Yamaguchi covers the referee's head with a flag. In the summer, Kagetsu and Hazuki joined in, delivering a barrage of stomps to AZM. Natsu pushed referee Barb Sasaki and whipped him. When Konami took control, Natsu deliberately whipped the referee. After slamming him with a body slam, Natsu was disqualified
AZM: "Hey (x4). Hold on a second. Hey, are you listening? This is no laughing matter. You've been playing a crazy match. What are you doing at your age?! Today's win wasn't a good one, but a win is a win. Give me back my flag and mask!"
Natsu: "So, I'm saying it's fine. But, you see, if you're going to return the flag and mask, AZM, you're in the Oedo Tai. If you join the Oedo Tai, I'll return the flag and mask. I'm saying I'll return them. It's fine. The other day, I had a singles match against Watanabe Momo, and although it was a sneaky win due to interference from her second, it's Konami's turn to come out next."
AZM: "Enough with that stuff. You're just going to run away again after taking Konami, aren't you? Have a singles match against AZM directly!"
Natsu: "Well, that's fine. It's fine, but you've never beaten me, right? If that's okay with you, then fine, let's have a singles match. But you've never beaten me in a singles match, do you understand? If you lose, you'll be joining Oedo Tai."
AZM: "I'm telling you this because it seems you don't understand. AZM always adjusts to Natsumi Sumire's level! If you understand that, then go home. Go home, go home."
Natsu: "No matter how much time passes, I'll always be under Big Daddy's thumb."
AZM: "Okay, a singles match against Natsu Sumire, at Korakuen Hall in December, that would be a good finale. Will you all come? Thank you."

| ○Tam Nakano | Luaka● | |
This is the second comeback match for Arisa Hoshiki, who returned to the ring at Korakuen Hall on November 23rd. Having joined STARS, Hoshiki will once again team up with Mayu Iwatani as part of the first-generation tag team AMA-Girls. Her other partner is Tam Nakano. Nakano has the Stardom★Idols inaugural event scheduled for the evening show, but at Korakuen Hall she expressed reservations about Hoshiki joining STARS. Furthermore, things are looking uncertain for their opponent, JAN. Natsuko Tora, who lost the Goddess of Stardom Championship, wants a singles match against Jungle Kyona, claiming that she will stick to her own style of fighting. Following their tag team match in Nagoya on November 25th, they will team up again, but there are concerns about their teamwork. How Ruaka will mediate will be key to the outcome. Both units are carrying some trouble in this six-person tag match
As they entered the ring, JAN's Kyoka and Ruaka circled the ringside as usual, but Natsuko went straight into the ring. Hoshiki was the first to volunteer to go first. Kyoka came out from JAN. Hoshiki threatened her with a kick, and Kyoka extended her hand to invite her to a hand-to-hand lock. Kyoka tightened her grip, but Hoshiki managed to get her arm back. Hoshiki spun around and tightened her grip even more, but Kyoka countered with a headlock. Hoshiki tried to throw Kyoka into the ropes, but Kyoka wouldn't allow it. After some rope work, Hoshiki attempted a dropkick, but Kyoka dodged it and delivered a shoulder tackle followed by a body slam. Iwatani and Hoshiki teamed up and took down Kyoka. Hoshiki hoisted Iwatani and spun her around, but accidentally hit Nakano. Nakano got up and pushed Hoshiki away, then teamed up with Iwatani. Hoshiki apologized, but Nakano kicked her away and delivered a body slam to Hoshiki. Nakano slammed Hoshiki into her corner and faced Kyoko. Nakano delivered a soccer ball kick to Kyoko. Near the apron, Iwatani and Nakano stomped on Kyoko's face. Nakano pulled Kyoko up and delivered a body slam. Kyoko kicked out for one count. Iwatani entered and delivered a soccer ball kick to Kyoko. She threw Kyoko into the corner and delivered a running dropkick. The timing seemed off, as Kyoko appealed for another try and they started again. Kyoko powerslammed Iwatani as she charged. Ruaka delivered a series of elbows to Iwatani. She threw Iwatani and delivered a series of big boots. Natsuko delivered a knee followed by a double chop to Iwatani. Iwatani dodged the charge and delivered a dropkick. She pulled Natsuko up and they exchanged elbows. Iwatani delivered a back kick and a sling blade as Natsuko charged. Hoshiki caught Natsuko and she and Iwatani applied a double AMA-Woman-Lock. Nakano followed Hoshiki with a stunned expression. Hoshiki lands a series of middle kicks and a soccer ball kick on Natsuko. She applies a sickle hold, but Kyoka breaks it up and scolds Natsuko. "Natsuko, don't give up!" To this, Natsuko replies, "Shut up!" Hoshiki and Natsuko exchange blows. Kyoka hits Hoshiki with a lariat. Hoshiki hits both Kyoka and Natsuko with a double knee attack. Natsuko sends Hoshiki flying with a shoulder tackle as she charges. Nakano forcibly returns Hoshiki to the corner and makes her tag. Nakano hits Natsuko with a high kick. Natsuko dodges and lands an elbow attack. Nakano lands a knee and then a jumping knee attack. However, Natsuko manages to escape and delivers a counter spear. Natsuko tags Ruaka instead of Kyoka, who reaches out her hand. Ruaka hits Nakano with a series of shoulder tackles. Nakano kicks and calls in Iwatani. Hoshiki sends JAN out of the ring. Nakano delivers a back drop to Ruaka. Kyoka and Ruaka break up the pin. 10 minutes have passed. Ruaka delivers a shoulder tackle to Nakano. Ruaka lands a complete shot, and Kyoka and Natsuko come to her aid one after another. However, Nakano manages to turn the tables. Ruaka attempts a fisherman suplex, but Iwatani and Hoshiki break it up. JAN and STARS are fighting in the ring. Nakano and Ruaka are in the ring. Ruaka rolls up Nakano's German suplex. Nakano lands a high kick, and STARS deliver a trio thrust kick. Nakano jumps in with a Violet Shooting on Ruaka for the three count, giving STARS the victory
After the match, Hoshiki offered Nakano water, but she refused and hugged Iwatani instead
Iwatani: "Alright, hello everyone in Shinkiba! Great. STARS won today, and we're a clean three! Yesterday there was a lot going on on Twitter and I think we confused you all, but as you can see, STARS are super close!"
The screaming woman snatches the microphone
Screaming Woman: "Hey Natsuko, enough is enough! I don't know what you're thinking. Ogawa-san, please set up a singles match as soon as possible! As soon as possible!!"
Natsuko: "You always say you understand because we're always next to each other, but you don't understand at times like this. Right? Don't you think so? I always say this, but a unit isn't about being chummy. Isn't it the strength of each individual that allows us to reach the top? Why am I trying to take on this challenge alone? If you think about it for a second, you should be able to figure it out."
Screaming woman: "Natsuko is the one who doesn't understand!"
Natsuko leaves the stage. After that, Kyoko also leaves the stage
Iwatani: "...Judging from what I've seen so far, the STARS members are really close, aren't they! Right?! (laughs) They even go at each other on Twitter, so you can't do things like this unless you're close. Maybe the two of you should shake hands?"
Nakano pointed out that the AMA hold had been broken
Hoshiki: "Okay, let's do it with the three of us next time."
Iwatani: "The three of us will do the AMA-Woman-Hold. So today we're making up."
Iwatani forcibly raised Nakano and Hoshiki's hands to get out of the situation

| Utami Hayashishita |
2 minutes 46 seconds |
Hinan |
The 2018 Rookie of the Year Championship. This year, Utami Hayashishita, Natsumi, Rina, and Hinami are participating. The match is a gauntlet match elimination tournament, with Utami going first. She has already achieved an impressive record despite only being a three-month veteran, so Utami seems to have the absolute advantage. However, it is a gauntlet match. Will any wrestler be able to stop Utami, who is expected to fight back-to-back matches? Or will Utami win the Rookie of the Year title by a landslide?
The first to appear was Goddess of Stardom Champion Utami, wearing a QQ mask. The second to be called was Hinami. Kid and Hanan welcomed Hinami. Hinami offered a handshake, which Utami quietly accepted as the bell rang. They locked up, and Utami drove Hinami to the ropes. When Hinami broke free, she delivered a dropkick. Utami responded with a shoulder tackle from close range. She slammed Hinami down with a body slam, but Hinami kicked out. Utami went for a reverse Boston crab, but Hinami resisted. Hinami rolled her up for a pin, but it was only a two count. Hinami delivered a dropkick, followed by an outer leg sweep and an armbar. Utami tried a triangle choke, but Hinami countered, only to be met with a series of roll-ups. When Utami kicked out, Hinami went for a Gedo clutch. When Utami kicked out, Hinami went for an outer leg sweep. Utami forcefully slammed her to the mat and pinned her down. When Hinami kicked out, Utami delivered a series of throws. Hinami could not be returned

When Utami retaliated, Rinami pulled her up and delivered a series of elbows. As Rinami charged, Utami countered with a shoulder tackle. Rinami dodged Utami's attempt at a sleeper hold by lowering her body. Utami shouted that she would finish the match and attempted an Argentine backbreaker, but was rolled up instead. Rinami shouted "I got you!" and went for a reverse pin followed by a jackknife pin. Utami applied a sleeper hold and then a reverse slam, tightening the choke and forcing Rinami to give up

*The 2018 Rookie of the Year was Utami Hayashishita
The fourth to compete is Natsumi. The winner of this match will become Rookie of the Year. Natsumi offers a handshake, and Utami responds with "Yes, please." As soon as the bell rings, Natsumi delivers a series of tackles and rolls Utami up. Natsumi tries to force a submission with a submission hold. From there, she transitions into a rolling prawn hold. When Utami kicks out, Natsumi throws her into the ropes and slams her forward. She stops Utami's movement with a knot hold and delivers a running foot stomp. When Utami kicks out, Natsumi pulls her up. Utami lands an elbow, and they engage in an elbow exchange. Natsumi slips past Utami and delivers an arm whip. She throws Utami into the ropes and delivers another arm whip. When Utami kicks out, Natsumi puts her in a headlock. Utami lifts her up, but Natsumi counters and holds her down. When Utami kicks out, Natsumi delivers a series of elbows. Utami attempts a shoulder throw, but Natsumi holds her down. Natsumi pulls Utami up and throws her into the ropes. Utami delivered a dropkick followed by another dropkick. She threw Natsumi into the corner, but Natsumi retaliated with a running charge. Utami took her to the apron and hooked her onto the ropes, then delivered a dropkick from the side. "Here we go!" she shouted, pumping herself up, before dropping a missile kick from the corner. She got behind Natsumi, who resisted with a "No, no," and Utami forcefully rolled her up. Utami kicked out and threw her into the ropes, but Natsumi hit a hurricanrana. Natsumi dashed forward, but Utami delivered a series of STOs. Natsumi kicked out, and Utami got behind her and applied a sleeper hold. Five minutes had passed. She tightened the hold with an Argentine backbreaker, and Natsumi could no longer endure and tapped out. Utami won her third consecutive match and earned the title of Rookie of the Year
Utami: "Since my debut, I've won the tag team league, won the belt with Momo, and now I've achieved my third big victory! From now on, I'll be aiming for all the belts and titles in Stardom, so please continue to support me!"
Comment from Utami
--After winning the Rookie of the Year title
"I felt like I had to win because I hold the Goddess belt, but this time, all my opponents were teenagers except for me, and they had incredible momentum, power, and energy, so I'm happy that I was able to win the Rookie of the Year award."
—Do you think this was an expected outcome?
"Yes, I'm a little tired, but I thought this was a tournament that I, as the Goddess Champion, had to win, so I think winning was only natural."
—What did you think when you learned about the match format?
"I thought I'd be the first one. I'm not particularly physically fit, so that was a bit of a concern for me."
—What were some of the challenging parts?
"There were a lot of pinfall attempts. I was constantly being attacked and pinned a lot, so there were some close calls, but I could really feel the desire of the three opponents to win, and they are future Stardom stars, so I'm looking forward to future matches."
—This was certainly your first time playing in a gauntlet match format
"Yes, it was tough, physically. I'm completely exhausted."
—Is that a challenge for the future?
"Yes, that's right. I can't really say that I took on three opponents at once. I want to build up the stamina to be able to do that again. -- You appealed for all the belts after the match, including Future of Stardom?"
"Yes, that's right. Including Future of Stardom, I want to aim for everything I can win."
—What are your goals going forward?
"Right now, I was able to win the belt with Momo-san the other day, but next I want to achieve something on my own in a singles match."
--Is its momentum unstoppable?
"That's right, since my debut, my momentum hasn't stopped, and I don't want it to stop. Rather, I want to keep sprinting from here and make my momentum stronger and stronger."

◆High-Speed Championship Match: 30-minute, one-fall match |

|
<Champion> |
10 minutes 39 seconds |
<Challenger> |
| Marie Apache |
Kashima Saki |
|
*The 15th champion, Marie Apache, successfully defended her title for the fourth time
Marie Apache will be defending her High Speed title for the first time in a while. Her challenger is Saki Kashima, who pinned Marie in a 3-Way Tag Team Battle on November 10th in Shin-Kiba. Kashima is clearly at a disadvantage in terms of power, but the challenger will likely try to win with her speed and a comeback pin. A head-on fight would be extremely disadvantageous for the challenger. For that reason, Kashima will need a well-prepared strategy. This will be Kashima's second singles title challenge since her return (she also challenged for the White Peach Belt on August 12th at Korakuen Hall), and her first challenge for the High Speed Championship in six years. Will she defeat the lucha libre veteran and win her first singles title? Or will Marie defend her title and face off against Hazuki, who has declared her intention to challenge her next?
Kashima extends her hand for a handshake, but Marie refuses, or so it seems, until she slowly steps forward and accepts. As the bell rings, Kashima unleashes a series of arm whips. When she tries to pin Marie, Marie quickly counters. Kashima dashes after a low dropkick. Marie trips her and takes her down, then goes for a hanging ceiling hold. And she does it with ease. Kashima rolls her up, but it's only a two count. Marie stomps on Kashima's face near the ropes. Marie pulls Kashima up and delivers a series of reverse horizontal chops in the corner. She then scratches his face. Kashima uses the diagonal to execute a hurricanrana. She also throws a big boot and uses the ropes for a head scissors. Kashima counters Marie's lariat with an arm whip and applies a modified Manji hold. However, Marie uses her strength to slam Kashima into the corner. Marie delivers a somersault drop, but it's only a two count. Marie applies a submission hold to Kashima's arm, rotating as she goes. Kashima's feet reach the ropes. Marie uses the ropes to hook her right arm and attack. As Marie appeals, Kashima delivers an elbow from behind. However, Marie retaliates. Marie accepts the elbow exchange. "Don't mess with me," Kashima says, delivering a slap, dodging a knee kick and landing a big boot and a kick to the face. But Marie counters with a big boot. Five minutes have passed. Both are down, but Marie gets up and climbs to the corner. Kashima yells and charges at her, and Marie forcefully delivers a superplex from the corner, shouting "Don't mess with me!" followed by a diving foot stomp. Marie charges, but Kashima pulls the ropes and throws her to the outside. Kashima then dives to the outside. Back in the ring, she taunts, "Come on." Kashima charges, but Marie counters. Kashima counters again and rolls up Marie in a series of pins. Kashima jumps, but Marie slams her down. Kashima still manages to roll her up. Kashima climbs to the corner, but Marie climbs up too and delivers a superplex. Kashima counters and rolls her up. Marie retaliated, pulling Kashima up and attempting a powerbomb. Kashima countered with a headlock, but Marie followed with a backflip and a heel drop. Kashima kicked out, and Marie delivered a thrust kick, sending Kashima down. Kashima dodged a lariat, making a comeback. However, Marie countered this roll-up with a backbreaker. She climbed to the corner and delivered a knee kick. The referee counted to three, and Marie successfully defended her title. Then Hazuki entered the ring
Hazuki: "Marie (x3), wait a minute, how are you guys in Shin-Kiba doing?! One more time, how are you doing?! Once again, congratulations on your title defense, Marie. You did well (x2). You're amazing (x2). I saw it all. You're really slow. Not that you did well, you were slow. I'm going to take this high-speed belt you have. It's meaningless for you to have it. I'll make a low-speed belt for you before our match, so how about we exchange it? Sounds good, right?! If we're going to do it, shouldn't it be in a big venue? At Korakuen Hall on December 24th, at Stardom's final match, I'm going to take your belt."
Marie: "Good evening, everyone. I don't understand Japanese very well, but OK Belt."
Hazuki: "I don't know what they're saying, but it seems like they're willing to have a match with Hazuki. Sounds good, right? Hazuki will take the High Speed belt and revitalize Stardom. So, since there's no one to wrap things up, is it okay if Oedo Tai wraps things up?"
Yamaguchi: "All right! Look, look, hello. Thanks again for supporting Oedo Tai, led by Naotan, today! Hazuki-chan, do your best in your belt challenge! The outcome of this match is too predictable, it's a problem. Masu (x4♪) antenna. Oedo Tai is popular so we're pressed for time, so let's wrap this up quickly. Come on over. Everyone come on over. Oedo Tai is all about everyone working together. Alright, let's go. Everyone stand up. Everyone stand up. Got it? Let's go, everyone. Believe in Oedo Tai, and let's do our best tomorrow, even if it's just casually. We Are Oedo Tai!"
Marie's comment
--What was the title match against Kashima like?
"Saki may be a good wrestler, but she has experience in various title matches in Mexico against Marie Apache and has also had experience in hair vs. hair matches. So she can't afford to lose to a wrestler with her level of experience. Marie is stronger. The same goes for Hazuki. I think the same result will occur at Cora Quen."
--After the match, Hazuki will exchange the belt for the Low Speed belt
"Yes, that's fine. I'll prove in this match that Marie is stronger. The belt doesn't matter. The stronger one will hold the belt. I'll make Hazuki understand that too."
—Hazuki has been saying for a while now that Marie is slow and not suited for high speed
"I understand. Even if they're slow, their strength compensates for it, so the stronger one will win. And when you add experience to that, you can see who will win."
