Utami Hayashishita

Tora Natsuko

Reo Onozaki

Utami Hayashishita, who had been sidelined since fracturing her right pinky finger during the 5☆STAR GP, is returning to the ring for the first time in about two months, teaming with Reo Onozaki. Their opponents are Hazuki and Natsuko Tora of the Oedo Tai tag team. They finished the tag team league with a record of 2 wins and 3 losses, so they were not in contention for the championship. It is possible that they will vent their frustration from the tag team league on Utami. Rough attacks are inevitable, so it remains to be seen how Utami, who has been out of action for a while, will be able to handle them. Onozaki's assistance will also be essential, but Onozaki has also been out for two weeks with a shoulder injury, so this will be her return match as well

 QQ's Momo and AZM are in the corner for the Utami & Onozaki team. Natsuko nominates Utami, saying, "It's your comeback match, so you should come out." The match starts with Utami vs. Natsuko. The match begins with ground grappling, and Natsuko goes from a neck lock to a headlock. Utami tries to throw Natsuko into the ropes, but Natsuko doesn't release the headlock. When Natsuko takes the match to the ground, Utami applies a head scissors. Natsuko breaks free and charges, but Utami delivers a shoulder tackle. Natsuko manages to withstand it, but Utami sends her flying on the second try. Hazuki interferes from behind as Utami runs towards the ropes. Hazuki body slams Utami. Utami kicks out, and Hazuki tags in Natsuko. Natsuko grabs both of Utami's arms and holds her against the ropes. She also grabs Onozaki, who tries to intervene, and attacks her. Natsuko and Hazuki exchange dropkicks from behind, showering each other with face washes from two directions. Hazuki takes down Onozaki, leaving Natsuko and Utami in the ring. Natsuko charges after a series of elbows, but Utami counters with a dropkick. When Natsuko tries to throw Utami into the ropes, Utami slams her into the mat instead, and sends both of them into the corner as Hazuki enters. Natsuko kicks back and hits Utami with a spear. Hazuki lands a swan dive missile kick on Utami. Hazuki applies a face lock. Onozaki tries to break it up, but Natsuko stops her. Hazuki charges after a double kick, but Utami catches her and delivers a body slam. Onozaki tags in and hits Hazuki with a series of dropkicks and elbows in the corner. She also lands a face crusher, but it's only a two count. Hazuki elbows Onozaki as she charges, and Onozaki slams her into the mat. Utami performs a backflip, and Onozaki rolls up Hazuki. Hazuki kicks out at the last moment, and Onozaki delivers a dropkick. She charges in with a corner attack, but it's dodged. Hazuki attempts a Codebreaker, but Utami makes the save. Hazuki hits Onozaki with a double kick. Onozaki kicks out at the last moment, and Hazuki delivers a body slam, then climbs to the corner and hits a diving senton, getting the three count and winning the match for Hazuki

 

 

Comments from Shimi and Onozaki

-- Shimi is returning after about two months

Utami: "During the two months I took a break, I realized how much I've declined, and watching everyone's matches while I was resting made me realize that I'm being left behind. I was finally able to have a match today, so from now on I want to catch up with the Stardom wave."

—What did you think of your opponents, Hazuki and Natsuko?

Utami: "I had to take a break from the 5☆STAR GP midway through, so I've never had a proper match against Natsuko, but today I was able to have a tag team match with her. We couldn't win the match, but I think it was a good match against these two."

Onozaki was also making a comeback

Onozaki: "It's a double comeback, and I was out for two weeks, but even during that time I felt like I was being left behind, so I'm glad I could come back with them like this. It's a shame that I was the one who lost at the end, but our teamwork went well today, and I'll do my best when we team up again."

—Were you worried about the location of your injury?

Shimi: "I'm still using tape to keep it under control, but I've recovered 120%, so I think I can play in future matches without worrying about my injury at all."

Onozaki: "I still have some anxieties, but I want to continue working hard while managing my injury."

--With the two of them returning, QQ will be complete again

Utami: "That's right. While we were out of action, the only belts left for QQ were my Future and SWA belts, so I've always said that we're aiming to take all the belts for QQ. I hope we can all work together to gather more belts for QQ from now on."

Onozaki: "Now that all of us in QQ have made a comeback today, I need to work even harder, grow, and get stronger so that I can catch up with everyone."

Saya Iida●

○ "Session Moth" Martina <4 points>

Saya Kamitani <2 points>

The final official match between the team of Saya Iida & Saya Kamitani and the team of Sumire Natsu & "Session Moss" Martina was a showdown between two teams with a 1-3 record. The Natsu team started the tournament with a win, but their record has not improved since. On the other hand, the Iida team achieved a major upset at Korakuen Hall on November 4th, when Kamitani used a new technique to defeat the Oedo Tai. Both teams have already been guaranteed to have a losing record, but which team will prove that all's well that ends well? If the Iida team manages to get their second win here, that would also be another major upset

 With the league season over, Natsu and Martina toasted with beer, shouting "Cheers to Friday night!", when the Sayasaya duo dropped a kick from behind. However, Natsu's team quickly followed up with two Bronco Busters. Then, the two of them ganged up on Iida. Natsu pressed her crotch against Iida's face and went for the cover. When Natsu tried to spray beer, it accidentally hit Martina. Iida snatched it and chugged it down. Drunk, Iida assumed a drunken boxing stance. She sent not only Natsu and Martina flying, but also Kamiya and referee Murayama. Iida took Natsu down again, but then fell down herself. Everyone was down, but they all raised their shoulders at the two count. Kamiya tagged in, dragging the drunk Iida along. Kamiya delivered three consecutive body slams to Natsu. When Natsu kicked out, Kamiya applied a sickle hold. Martina interrupted by spraying water from the side. Martina then delivered a series of elbows to Kamiya. Kamitani countered with a dropkick. Iida entered the ring and delivered three consecutive dropkicks to Martina. She tried to lift Martina up, but Natsu interfered. She cornered Iida and delivered a running elbow. Iida dodged it and cornered both of them, and Sayasaya delivered alternating running dropkicks. They also landed a double dropkick, followed by a missile kick from Iida, a standing shooting star press from Kamitani, and an Iidabashi from Iida. However, Natsu interrupted with a whip strike. Kamitani sent Natsu flying with a dropkick. Martina grabbed her arm from a suplex. Iida countered and rolled her up for a two count. Iida delivered a series of left and right elbows. As she charged, Martina headbutted her and then delivered a Jaegerbomb. Finally, Martina got the three count

Kagetsu

Zoe Lucas <4 points>

Andras Miyagi <4 points>

The final official match pits Kagetsu & Andras Miyagi of the Oedo Tai against the foreign tag team of Bobby Tyler & Zoe Lucas. Kagetsu & Andras's teamwork remains a concern, but they continue to leave the ring separately regardless of the outcome. Will they finish the league tournament in this divided state? If so, it will become a problem affecting the morale of the unit even after the tournament. Will Kagetsu try to resolve the issue here, or will the series end in an unstable state? Kagetsu's challenge for the red belt has already been decided for Korakuen Hall in December, but internal adjustments should be her priority first

 The match began with the Oedo Tai attacking the foreign wrestlers as they entered the ring. The Oedo Tai dominated the fight outside the ring, and even after returning to the ring, they attacked Tyler together. Tyler charged forward, but the Oedo Tai responded with a clothesline and a double back drop. Andras held Tyler in a headlock. Kagetsu's weapon attack was narrowly avoided by an accidental hit. Lucas delivered a corner spin kick to Andras. This time, Kagetsu held Andras in a headlock over the apron. Andras's charge was dodged, but this time too, an accidental hit was avoided. Kagetsu was caught by Tyler and subjected to a combined attack by Lucas and Tyler. Kagetsu was slammed forward by a double, but when she retaliated, Tyler got in position for a double armlock. Kagetsu countered, and Andras struck her with a weapon. An accidental hit was avoided, but they glared at each other. Taking advantage of the distraction, Tyler rolled up Kagetsu for the three count. The arena was booed. Andras left the ring alone. Kagetsu could only watch from inside the ring…

Kimura Hana

○ Tam Nakano <8 points>

DEATH Yama-san. <8 points>

The Blue Goddesses match will be between Arisa Hoshiki & Tam Nakano and Hana Kimura & DEATH Yama-san. The finals will depend on which team advances to the official tournament. Hoshiki's team's three-game winning streak was halted, but a win here would secure their place in the finals against Bea Priestley & Jamie Hayter, albeit in a tie, due to their head-to-head victory. Hana's team, with an undefeated four-game winning streak, will advance to the finals with a draw or better. With a short 15-minute match time, TCS seems to have the advantage, but which team will ultimately reach the finals?

 Hoshiki's team extends their handshake, but Hana's team does the Deathyama pose. When their opponent turns their back, they attack, and Deathyama rolls up Nakano repeatedly. Nakano charges forward, but Hana pulls his leg from under the ring, and Deathyama rolls him up again. Hana enters the ring and teams up with Deathyama, throwing Nakano into the ropes and performing a series of big boots. Nakano throws an elbow, but Hana lands a big boot. Nakano throws a series of elbows, but Hana knocks him down with one big beat. Hana gives Nakano a hair whip. Deathyama joins in and stomps on his face. Hana gives Nakano a body slam and goes for the cover. Nakano kicks out and hits a neckbreaker. Hoshiki delivers a running double knee attack to Hana. She then drops another double knee to his back. She calls Nakano in for a double big boot and a double elbow drop. Hoshiki goes for the cover with a double knee, but Hana kicks out. Hana counters with a dropkick. Deathyama lands a series of hell thrusts, but is countered with a middle kick. Nakano and Hoshiki team up, but Deathyama dodges and they take a missile kick from Hana. Hana applies a submission hold to both of them. She corners them and Deathyama performs a monkey flip on Hana and a running attack. Deathyama attempts a diving senton, but Nakano kicks out. Deathyama gets behind Nakano, but Nakano counters with a spin kick and goes for a Tiger Suplex. Deathyama rolls her up, but Nakano counters again. Nakano attempts a high kick, but Hana dodges it and lands a big boot, then Deathyama rolls her up. Hoshiki and Nakano team up to split them up. Nakano lands a Tiger Suplex and Deathyama is pinned for the three count. This secures Hoshiki & Nakano's place in the finals

○ Jamie Hayter <10 points>

Saki Kashima <2 points>

Bea Priestley and Jamie Hayter have already secured their place in the finals with an undefeated 4-0 record. Although their main event final is already set, they must complete all their official matches. They will likely want to conserve their energy for the main event, but their opponents are Mayu Iwatani and Saki Kashima. The rematch between Iwatani and Priestley is particularly noteworthy. Iwatani defeated Priestley at Korakuen Hall on November 4th to reclaim the red belt championship. Priestley will be looking to win and get her revenge. Former Goddess Champions Iwatani and Kashima would finish the league with only one win if they lose here. Can they surprise the finalists? This final official match between Iwatani and Priestley will not be a meaningless bout

 The match started with Iwatani and Priestley. After a lock-up, Iwatani got behind Priestley, who then put her in a headlock. Iwatani countered, feigning to throw Priestley into the ropes, and then went for a headlock of her own. After an exchange of kicks, Iwatani caught her. When they broke, Priestley got behind Iwatani, but Iwatani rolled her up. Hayter dodged Kashima's dropkick but was hit with an arm whip. Hayter went for a brainbuster, but Kashima rolled her up. Kashima jumped on Hayter, who hit a backbreaker and then a brainbuster. Priestley held Kashima against the ropes, and Hayter joined in. Priestley delivered an elbow attack to the back. Kashima was slammed into the corner and hit a hurricanrana. Iwatani hit Priestley with a low dropkick. Priestley was thrown into the corner, but countered with a back drop. Priestley hit Iwatani with a knee attack, followed by a face wash and another knee attack. Hayter and Priestley tried to hit clotheslines, but they were dodged, and Iwatani and Kashima launched a double attack. Iwatani hits a Northern Suplex but gets a two count. Five minutes have passed. Kashima hits a diving foot stomp but Hayter kicks out. Kashima gets behind Hayter but he resists. Kashima jumps on him and puts him in a submission hold. Priestley makes the break. Iwatani chases Priestley out and Hayter goes for My Emblem but is countered with a series of lariats. However, Iwatani makes the break just in time. Hayter prepares to hit Iwatani with a back drop. Kashima tries to turn the tables but is cut off. Hayter hits a backbreaker but Iwatani cuts it off again. Priestley and Hayter pin Kashima from both sides and Hayter hits a Ushigoroshi and goes for the cover but Kashima can't kick out and gets the three count

○AZM<6 points>

Small waves <3 points>

The Goddesses of Stardom champions, Jungle Kyona and Konami, have surprisingly suffered a losing record in the tag team league tournament leading up to the final match. Even if they win here, they'll only break even at best, putting them in a situation where even a winning record is impossible, let alone advancing to the finals. However, they can't end it with just one win. Watanabe Momo and AZM, who have an even record so far, also have a winning record on the line in their final official match. Momo lost the Goddesses of Stardom Championship, which she held with Hayashishita Utami, in Nagoya, albeit at a different venue. She declared at the previous Osaka tournament that she would get revenge. Since the tag team league winner will be decided at this tournament, there is a high possibility that the champions will challenge for the title. This will likely be a tough test for the Goddesses of Stardom champions

 Momogumi attacked before the bell even rang, gaining the upper hand. They cornered Kyoka and launched a double spear attack, followed by a flurry of kicks. They then combined for a middle kick, but Kyoka dodged and sent her out of the ring with a lariat. Kyoka then attempted a dive to the outside. Kyoka hit AZM with a shoulder tackle and a body press. Konami applied a hanging armbar. Kyoka slammed AZM with a body slam and declared she would do a giant swing, but AZM rolled her up. AZM jumped on Kyoka, but Kyoka caught her, only to throw her away. Momogumi delivered a spear dropkick, slammed Konami with a back suplex when she tried to interfere, and then hit Kyoka with a PK. Momogumi hit Kyoka with a middle kick. Kyoka retaliated with an elbow. Momogumi won the exchange of strikes but only got a two count. Momogumi applied a chicken wing face lock. AZM applied a sleeper hold to Konami. Kyoka and Konami countered and turned the tables with a series of submission holds. Momogumi prevented a tag, and AZM hit Kyoka with a hurricanrana and a middle kick, followed by a Soumatou from Momogumi. Kyoka countered, and Momogumi went for a B-Driver. Kyoka countered, but Momogumi stopped her charge and hit a B-Driver. Five minutes had passed. Momogumi and AZM were thrown by Kyoka with a brainbuster. Konami and Kyoka worked together to grab Momogumi, and Konami hit a missile kick. Kyoka went for the cover, but Momogumi kicked out. Kyoka hit Momogumi with a running lariat and attempted a superplex. Momogumi hit a high kick followed by a diving Soumatou. Kyoka countered, and with both down, Momogumi dodged a tag. AZM entered first and hit a missile kick without allowing TCS to tag. AZM applied an armlock. Outside the ring, Momogumi had Konami in her grasp. AZM tightened her grip on Konami's arm, but Kyoka managed to escape. Kyoka cornered AZM but was hit with a high kick. AZM attempts a diving foot stomp, but Kyoko's shoulders rise. Kyoko follows up with an elbow and a swinging sleeper hold, but Momo intervenes. Kyoko drives Momo away with an elbow and goes for a powerbomb. AZM counters, but only gets a two count. AZM rolls Kyoko up again, and she can't kick out, so the referee counts to three

AZM: "We beat the tag team champions! I'd like to say that we're going for the belts, the tag team belts, but today, since Utami has returned, let's challenge for the Artist title!"

Shimi: "Today, I made my comeback, and I saw that the Oedo Tai (artist champions) weren't in good form today, they weren't getting along, so we'll take on the challenge."

AZM: "We're going to get some artists!"

Shimi: "Please support us!"

Prestley catches him and delivers a back drop. Both are down, and Nakano hands the ball to Hoshiki. Hayter hits Hoshiki with a series of big boots and a lariat. Hayter charges in and hits Hoshiki, who is half down, with a lariat. He throws another one but only gets a two count. Hayter picks Hoshiki up and lifts him up. Hoshiki tries to counter but gets hit with a backbreaker. Hayter picks him up and teams up with Priestley, but their knees hit each other by mistake. Nakano teams up with Hoshiki and Hoshiki hits a high kick, but Priestley makes the save. Priestley picks up Hayter and they team up, throwing him into the ropes but instead he gets kicked. Hoshiki and Nakano perform a 1399 and a Destiny Hammer from two directions. They then perform dives to the outside from two directions. Hoshiki brings Hayter back into the ring but Hayter dodges his Brazilian and hits him with a lariat. Hayter tries to hit Hoshiki with a Ushigoroshi. Hoshiki and Nakano hit knees, and Hoshiki hits a Brazilian kick. The three count is called, and the Hoshiki & Nakano team is declared the winner

Nakano: "We won, we won! I'm really disappointed that I couldn't get the three count myself, but... Hoshiki, do you remember when I said I'd tell you why I wanted to team up with you if we won? I said it was to take the white belt you have and to find your weakness. That was part of it, but I also wanted to team up with you because I thought that if we teamed up, we could see a new landscape in Stardom. (To the crying child) It's okay. That child is saying this too, so from now on, let's dream together again, (to the crying child) you too."

Hoshiki: "What's wrong? Hahaha. What's wrong with this person? Hahaha."

Nakano: "Don't laugh!"

Hoshiki: "From now on, we'll dream together, and not just dream, but I want to make those dreams come true together. When you talk about dreams, there are each milestones, each goal. Our first goal is, of course, to win the championship, you know that, right? Let's challenge for the Goddess belt together."

Nakano: "Of course, that's my intention."

Hoshiki: "Well, then we'll have to call him. Gen..."

The Kyoko and Konami teams make their appearance

Hoshiki: "Here he comes."

Konami: "I demand a Goddess title match as soon as possible."

Kyoko: "We lost today in our hometown of Nagoya. We are tag team champions standing on the brink of elimination. Today marks the start of my fifth year as a professional wrestler. I have a big ambition for my fifth year. To fulfill this ambition, I cannot let go of this belt, or Konami. So, I will successfully defend the title and return to Nagoya as tag team champions once again."

Hoshiki: "I don't know when it will be yet, but the current champion says he wants it to happen as soon as possible, so I think I'll be able to show you all my challenge for that belt in the near future!"

Nakano: "It's not about the act of taking on the challenge, but about the act of bringing back something valuable!"

Hoshiki: "I want everyone to see us bring it back. So, we won today, and since today is the last day of the tag league tournament, I want to wrap things up with everyone from Stardom. Believe in the present, shine tomorrow, We are Stardom!"

Comments from Hoshiki and Nakano

Hoshiki: "At first, when I won the first match today, I was super excited and determined to win the championship, so I went all out. But I realized something again: tag team is wonderful. This person is really mean to me, but today there were no accidental hits or weird attacks, and I think we actually had some really great teamwork."

Nakano: "Even now, I still get really annoyed with you and I still hate you, but as I said earlier, if I team up with Hoshiki, I think I can see a new view in Stardom, you can see a new view, and everyone in Stardom can see a new view. That's why I said I wanted to team up with you. If we didn't get results with this, I was thinking I would never say that again and just live on my own (laughs)."

Hoshiki: "It's a good thing we didn't take it to the grave (laughs), together (laughs)."

Nakano: "You'll still dream with me, right?"

Hoshiki: "Of course. Let's make it happen together. Let's think together about what we want to do and what we want to do, and then let's achieve it together."

Nakano: "That's not it."

Hoshiki: "Why? Is it wrong? We need to do it concretely."

Nakano: "Are you the type to plan trips and things like that?"

Hoshiki: "Not really."

Nakano: "(laughs)"

Hoshiki: "He's the type who doesn't really know what he's talking about? Well, as for the next time, we don't know when it will be, but the tag team champions have said they want it to be soon, so we'll adjust accordingly, get ourselves in top condition, challenge them, wear the belts, and stand before everyone."
