Reo Onozaki |
Saki Kashima of STARS and Reo Onozaki of JAN will face off in a singles match. Onozaki, who has yet to win a singles match, will be challenging the current Artist of Stardom champion, Kashima, and it will be interesting to see what tactics she employs against a younger opponent
Iwatani, who is in the corner, calls out from ringside, "It's Saki's new T-shirt." Kashima, apparently unaware of this, looks surprised and says, "Really?" The two start making small talk as if ignoring the ring announcement. Oh no! Just as they realize what's happening, the ring announcement for both of them is made. Onozaki extends his hand for a handshake as if nothing happened and says, "Please," and Kashima responds cleanly as if nothing happened. In a struggle for the arms, Kashima grabs both of Onozaki's arms from behind and transitions into a headlock. Onozaki tries to throw him into the ropes, but Kashima doesn't release the headlock. Onozaki tries for the third time and throws him into the ropes, but Kashima follows up with kicks and stomps and applies an armbar in the center of the ring. Onozaki desperately tries to escape, but Kashima stomps on his arm repeatedly. Kashima goes for an elbow, and Onozaki retaliates with a series of blows, saying, "Don't mess with me!" Onozaki dodges Kashima's attacks and lands a back elbow. When Onozaki cornered Kashima with a series of elbows, Kashima countered with a counter-attack. Kashima jumped from the corner, but Onozaki dodged and pinned him. Onozaki went for a body slam, but Kashima resisted. When Osaki dashed in, Kashima countered with a dropkick. Kashima grabbed both of Onozaki's arms and applied a modified triangle choke. When Onozaki resisted, Kashima kicked him with both feet and released the lock. He cornered Onozaki and charged with elbows. Onozaki dodged and delivered a face crusher. Kashima countered, and Onozaki charged with elbows. Kashima dodged and delivered a suplex. Onozaki went for a body slam, but Onozaki rolled him up. Kashima countered and went for a diving foot stomp. Onozaki couldn't kick out, and Kashima secured the three count

Tam Nakano of STARS will lead the Hanan sisters against the multinational team of Hana Kimura and Goja Kong. While they have the numerical advantage, Goja's physique may surpass that of the Hanan sisters. Will STARS have to overwhelm Goja with speed? If the Hanan sisters are the three sisters, Goja is from the prestigious Brazo family of lucha libre. Also, as is well known, Hana Kimura is the daughter of Kyoko Kimura. This match is a pro-wrestling family war that transcends borders and generations!
When Rinami volunteered to go first, the opposing team sent out Goja. Rinami went for a dropkick, and the three sisters followed up with a barrage of dropkicks of their own. They tried to throw Goja into the ropes, but he resisted, and when they charged in with a shoulder tackle, Goja didn't budge. Goja attacked by biting Rinami's forehead. Hana grabbed Rinami's hair and held her in place. Goja and Hana cornered Hinami and stomped on her. With Rinami and Hinami cornered, Goja charged in with a running kick and then pressed his hip against them. Goja and Hana performed a Campana on Rinami and Hinami. Hana and Nakano managed to break it up. Goja threw Rinami and Hinami into the ropes and attempted a lariat. They dodged it, but their dropkicks were ineffective. Hana tagged in and delivered a dropkick to both of them at once. Nakano blocked her charge, and everyone attacked Goja, who was waiting on the sidelines. The Nakano team cornered Hana and launched a series of impaling attacks. Rina and Hinami used judo techniques on Hana in succession. When Hana retaliated, she and Nakano, who had tagged in, exchanged elbows. When Nakano dashed in, Hana countered with a dropkick. Nakano read Hana's movements and landed a knee. Hana retaliated and attempted a brainbuster. Nakano countered with a heel drop. Hana escaped and prevented the tag. Then Nakano landed a knee from behind. Hana delivered a series of dropkicks to Goja, but Goja remained standing with a confident smile. Hana dodged a lariat, and the Nakano team came to her aid, bringing her down. They covered all three, but it was only a two count. The three sisters applied a submission hold to Goja, and Nakano delivered a foot stomp. Nakano threw Hana onto Goja. When Goja kicked out, Rina delivered a jackknife. Hinami prepared for a rolling prawn hold, but Rina rolled her up after a dropkick. Hana also gets a roll-up, but only gets a two count. Hana hits Nakano with a brainbuster. She puts Rinami in a卍-lock and also puts Hinami in a submission hold when she tries to interfere. Hana interferes and tries to body slam Hana. Hana turns the tables and throws Hana, and then body slams Rinami and Hinami onto her. Then Goja does a flying sausage. Goja has finished off all three sisters

STARS and JAN will clash in a six-woman tag team match. The day before at Shin-Kiba, Tora Natsuko declared her challenge for the WOH Championship, which Iwatani Mayu successfully defended for the first time in Osaka. However, Iwatani has a title defense scheduled in America first, so Iwatani's second successful defense is a prerequisite for Natsuko to challenge. Whether this match will serve as a preliminary bout depends on the current champion. In any case, Natsuko will need to leave her mark directly on Iwatani in order to make her aware of her
Both teams cautiously shook hands, and Yoneyama and Kid went first. Yoneyama tried to get the crowd to call out, but the cheers for Kid were louder. Yoneyama held his head in his hands and cried to referee Murayama. Yoneyama then raised his hand and said, "Come on!", but Kid stomped on his foot. Kid and Yoneyama did some rope work. Kid delivered a dropkick, and STARS worked together to focus their attack on Yoneyama. Kid tried to body slam Yoneyama, but Yoneyama slammed Kid down. Natsuko hit Kid with a series of shoulder tackles. Kid fought back, and JAN chased STARS out, capturing Kid alone. JAN body slammed Kid. Natsuko, Kyoka, and Yoneyama took turns body pressing. They also hit Kid with a body press from all three of them. Kyoka threw Kid into the ropes, and Kid forcefully executed a hurricanrana. Zaiya tagged in and took a corner body attack from Kyoka.

*The second champion, Utami Hayashishita, successfully defended her title for the third time
Four-time champion Utami Hayashishita is defending her Future of Stardom Championship for the third time. Her challenger is JAN's Saya Iida, who has yet to secure a victory on her own. Under normal circumstances, Utami should win easily, but..
When Iida asked for a handshake, Utami silently walked to the center of the ring and responded. Iida tried to push Utami into a lock-up, but Utami pushed her against the ropes for a break. Iida shouted, "Don't mess with me!" and delivered a series of elbows. However, Utami sent her flying with a shoulder tackle. Iida attempted three dropkicks in a row, but Utami stood up and absorbed them. As Iida went for a fourth, Utami countered with a dropkick, sending her flying. Utami delivered a front kick to Iida. She cornered Iida and stomped on her throat. Utami attempted a body slam, but Iida resisted and delivered a dropkick. However, Utami brushed it away and delivered a body slam of her own. Utami stopped Iida's movements with a camel clutch. Iida shouted, "Don't mess with me!" and attacked with a series of elbows, but Utami knocked him away. She taunted Iida, "What's wrong, Iida?" and cornered her. Iida became thirsty and unleashed a flurry of dropkicks. Utami takes Iida down and slams her with a body slam.

Iida escapes to the ropes, but Utami returns to the center. Iida attempts a series of roll-ups. Utami withstands them and lands a series of elbows. As Iida charges, Utami throws her over her shoulder. Declaring she's going for the finish, Utami goes for the Argentine backbreaker. Iida dodges, and Utami applies a reverse Boston crab. Iida manages to reach the ropes. Utami declares she's going for the finish again and goes for the Argentine backbreaker. But Iida rolls her up once more. As Iida charges, Utami catches her and delivers a body slam. Utami takes some time in the air before delivering another body slam. She declared it was "over" and then proceeded to shake things up in Argentina. Iida gave up, and Utami successfully defended her title
Utami: "I was able to successfully defend the Future of Stardom title. Iida Saya, I want to have another match. I'll accept any number of matches, anytime. But shouldn't I get my first win first? Once I get my first win, I'll accept any number of challenges, anytime. I'll be waiting."
Comment from Utami
"I was able to successfully defend the Future belt for the third time. It was the first time I properly fought against my contemporary, Saya Iida, not just in singles matches, but I thought she was an incredibly gutsy wrestler. I was able to defend my title today, but in the future, I hope Saya Iida will also keep winning and become a rival who can fight on equal terms with me, since we are contemporaries. I think this was a match that made me look forward to the future of Stardom."

Queens Quest and Oedo Tai are head-to-head. Oedo Tai's new member, Andras Miyagi, declared her challenge for the Wonder of Stardom Championship and the Goddess of Stardom Championship at yesterday's Shin-Kiba event. This means Andras's target will be Momo, the White & Tag Team double champion. Will she and her tag team partner, Natsu Sumire, unleash a barrage of attacks on Momo? Momo suffered a crushing pinfall loss the day before, so she'll need to get her revenge here. Teaming with Momo are Konami and AZM. The two challenged Hazuki for the High Speed Championship in a three-way match at Shin-Kiba the day before, but failed to win the belts. They will face Hazuki again today. They'll want to make an impact on Hazuki in preparation for a rematch... Meanwhile, the Red Belt champion, Kagetsu, is being targeted by Goja Kong. They haven't faced each other directly yet, but they need to devise a strategy against Goja. First and foremost, they need to maintain their momentum with a victory as a unit
The match began with QQ charging in before the bell. QQ's offensive led to a high-speed exchange of blows between AZM and Hazuki in the ring. Hazuki cornered AZM against the ropes and delivered a face wash. Natsu struck AZM with a whip. Andras took AZM down and delivered a somersault drop over the ropes. Kagetsu teamed up with Hazuki and delivered a double attack to AZM. Kagetsu delivered an elbow drop and went for the cover, but AZM kicked out. Kagetsu continued to attack and try to recruit AZM, saying, "AZM-chan, why don't you join Oedo Tai?" AZM retaliated with a dropkick and handed the match to Priestley. Kagetsu threw Priestley into the ropes, but Priestley dodged and delivered a back drop. Konami delivered a sliding kick to Kagetsu and a triangle choke. Kagetsu escaped and Konami went for a kneebar. Kagetsu countered, but Konami countered again and lifted her up with a stretch muffler from the kneebar. Hazuki broke up the pin and the match became a chaotic brawl. Konami grabbed Kagetsu's leg and Kagetsu delivered a neckbreaker. Five minutes had passed. Hazuki hit Konami with a big boot and then pointed to Momo. Momo came out and exchanged elbows with Hazuki. Momo called out Andras, saying, "Miyagi, come out!" She cornered Andras and delivered a series of dropkicks. Momo followed up with a series of middle kicks and yelled, "Don't get cocky!" She then sent Andras flying with a missile kick. Momo went for a B-Driver but Andras countered. Momo delivered a middle kick and then went for another B-Driver. This time she managed to pull it off but the cover was broken up. The Oedo Tai team cornered Momo and unleashed a barrage of attacks. Andras delivered a spinning back drop.

Andras slammed AZM forward and Natsu went for a Brainbuster hold, but Momo made an emergency break. Natsu went for a Youran on AZM. AZM dodged it and Yamaguchi came in for an Axe Bomber. Then Natsu hit her with a Youran. AZM couldn't kick out and Natsu got the pinfall
Kagetsu: "Hey you guys in Shinkiba, how are you all doing!? One more time, how are you all doing!? Alright, Natsu-san is in great shape! Olympus. Olympus. Thank you. Natsu-san, Goddess, let's keep this up. Next time in Osaka."
Natsu: "Osaka? Isn't that a little early? I mean, the next Osaka event is next week, right? Well, at least it's a daytime event since there's a day and a night, so I'd prefer that. There are two matches."
Kagetsu: "That's up to the company to decide."
Natsu: "But wouldn't a daytime event be more convenient? There's an opponent, too, hey, hey!... Are you ignoring me! Are you ignoring me, you guys!!"
Hazuki: "Either way is fine. I can do day or night." Natsu:
"Well, but... I've already eaten a Milano Sandwich B at Doutor in Shinkiba. A has a lower cost ratio."
Yamaguchi: "Wait, wait, stop it! Stop it!! Talk about that kind of thing in the dressing room. Today, Naotan has an important announcement to make!" Naotan will be leaving Stardom at the end of this month! Naotan loves sweets, so she's going to travel the world to find the best shortcake shop in the world! So, you can see Naotan at the next Shin-Kiba show and at Korakuen Hall on the 28th. She won't be going to the provinces because it's too much trouble. So, please come and see Naotan!
Kagetsu: "The audience definitely doesn't understand. Can I add something? Um, Yamaguchi Nao has been our manager, and I'm serious, it's true. She's leaving Japan. She'll be graduating from her manager position at Stardom and Oedo Tai at the end of this month. She wanted to announce it properly here, but it got a bit confusing, so I'm speaking on her behalf..."
Yamaguchi: "Master, that's enough. So... never mind. Everyone, please come to the next Shin-Kiba show and Korakuen Hall show. Thank you. Now, Naotan will wrap things up today. Everyone, come on! And audience, stand up! Okay, when Naotan says "Thanks Monica!", raise your right leg high. I'll be watching to see if you do it properly. Let's go, thanks Monica for supporting the Oedo Tai led by Naotan, and for supporting Naotan!
Comment from Oedo Tai
Kagetsu: "Well, you know, the two consecutive matches at the Shin-Kiba tournament were a comfortable, overwhelming victory thanks to the great play of the Oedo Tai team. Right, Natsu-san?"
Summer: "Hehehe"
Kagetsu: "I'm glad you won. Great teamwork from Oedo Tai... Well, with Yamaguchi's assist at the end, it was really great, wasn't it? But today, rather than saying we won, it's more that Yamaguchi Nao will be graduating from her managerial position at Stardom and Oedo Tai at the end of this month, so please accept this."
Yamaguchi: "Everyone, be careful not to miss Naotan! Thanks Monica! ..."
Kagetsu: "That's all."
