Kamiya Saya |
Following Mayu Iwatani's match in the daytime show, rookie Saya Kamitani will have a singles match. This time, she will face Natsuko Tora. It is inevitable that Natsuko of the Oedo Tai will bring in some rough tactics. Adapting to a different style from Iwatani is a must for Kamitani. How well she can handle it will be the highlight of the show. Incidentally, Natsuko was originally scheduled to have a 5★STAR GP official match, but won by default due to Utami Hayashishita's injury and subsequent withdrawal. Although she has earned her first win in the league, it will likely result in an unsatisfactory 2 points. She has three more chances to get a real win
Kamitani extends her hand for a handshake, but Natsuko doesn't move from her corner. Natsuko smiles and faces Kamitani. Kamitani tries to lock up, but Natsuko dodges. This repeats, and Kamitani rages, delivering a series of elbows. Natsuko grabs Kamitani's hair and slams her into the corner repeatedly. She corners her, stomps on her face, and follows up with a powerful chop and a shoulder tackle. Kamitani retaliates, and they exchange elbows. Natsuko kicks her in the face and lets Kamitani hit her with an elbow. "Don't mess with me!" Kamitani shouts, attempting a dropkick, but Natsuko dodges and catches her in a camel clutch. Natsuko delivers a series of stomps and charges. Kamitani dodges and lands a series of dropkicks. Natsuko kicks out at one count, and Kamitani deliberately lets Natsuko deliver a series of dropkicks. Kamitani applies a sickle hold and attempts a reverse Boston crab. Natsuko bites her leg and escapes. As Kamitani charged in with an elbow, Natsuko fought back. Natsuko shouted, "Don't mess with me!" and unleashed a flurry of elbows. She then signaled her finish with a frog splash. Kamitani dodged it and applied a submission hold, then switched to a reverse Boston crab. Kamitani tried to force a tap-out, but Natsuko escaped to the ropes. Five minutes had passed. Kamitani pulled Natsuko up and delivered a body slam. Natsuko kicked out, but Kamitani continued to pin her. She pulled Natsuko up and delivered a series of elbows. As Kamitani charged, Natsuko hit her with a knee, a backfist, and an elbow smash. She followed up with a body slam and pinned her, but it was only a two count. Natsuko signaled her hand to Phi again and delivered a frog splash. The referee counted to three, and Natsuko won. Natsuko pretended to shake Kamitani's hand but instead delivered a light uppercut

Saya Iida● |

Arisa Hoshiki has no official matches in the Osaka tournament, neither during the day nor at night. In the evening, she will team with Saya Iida as part of the STARS tag team against the team of Konami and Everly. Having brought her record to 3 wins and 3 losses in the 5★STAR GP, Hoshiki has two official matches remaining. She will use these matches to fine-tune her performance and prepare for the fight in Fukuoka on September 16th
Iida and Konami start the match. Hoshiki interferes with an assist, appealing for STARS, but Everly cuts them off. Konami hits Iida with a soccer ball kick. Everly enters and hits Iida with an elbow attack. Iida retaliates, and Konami stomps on her throat in the corner. Iida goes on with a series of elbows, followed by a dropkick to the knee and another. Hoshiki hits Konami with a double knee attack in the corner. Konami retaliates, and Hoshiki uses the second rope to deliver a kick. Konami retaliates with a middle kick. Hoshiki responds with a middle kick of her own. After an exchange of middle kicks, Konami hits a dragon screw. Konami throws a sliding kick, but Hoshiki counters. Everly hits Hoshiki with a knee to the face and a big boot. Hoshiki retaliates with a jumping kick and charges. Everly stops her and hits an Exploder suplex. Five minutes have passed. Hoshiki hits a knee attack followed by a high kick. Iida unleashed a series of dropkicks, but Everly kicked them out.

Hoshiki grabbed him, separating them, but Iida's foot reached the ropes. Iida dodged a roll-up and lariat, then went for a reverse pin and an Iidabashi. However, Konami made an emergency break. Konami and Everly delivered a brainbuster. Everly then hit Iida headfirst with a hammerlock-style DDT. Iida couldn't kick out, and Everly got the three count
| ◆Red Stars official league match 15 minutes 1 match | ||
| AZM <8 points> |
3 minutes 34 seconds |
Saki Kashima <4 points> |
This is an official match between Saki Kashima and AZM. Although they have played different numbers of matches, both have a 50/50 record. Kashima's victory against Mayu Iwatani in the opening match was significant, but she dropped points in her last match against Everly. Judging from AZM's performance in the league matches, this will not be an easy fight. AZM has made a strong impression in this league match by graduating from the kids' category. If she can beat Kashima here, she will keep her hopes of reaching the final alive. Both are masters of pinning, so a nail-biting match is expected
AZM, who was looking down from the corner as Kashima was called out, immediately cornered Kashima with a series of missile kicks and roll-ups as soon as the call ended. Kashima managed to withstand them and rolled up, resulting in an exchange of roll-ups. Kashima threw AZM into the ropes, and they exchanged high-speed dodges. AZM charged into the corner and delivered a dropkick. Kashima countered, and AZM applied an armbar. AZM locked both arms in, preventing escape. Nevertheless, Kashima stretched out his legs and managed to escape. AZM declared he would finish with a suplex and a diving foot stomp. Kashima dodged and returned a diving foot stomp and a Pedigree. AZM countered and delivered a high kick, then jumped, but Kashima dodged and made a comeback. AZM countered and they exchanged roll-ups. AZM countered at the last moment and Kashima rolled him up again. Kashima countered this at the last moment as well, and AZM countered the comeback and rolled him up. As the three count was made, Kashima looked stunned, and AZM was declared the winner

7 minutes 5 seconds |
Summer violets (2 items) |
Nakano Tam, with a record of 3 wins and 2 losses, and Natsu Sumire, with a record of 1 win and 4 losses, will face off in an official match. Nakano still has a chance to reach the finals, while Natsu has already been eliminated from the league stage. However, it's unlikely that Natsu will back down so easily. She will now be focused on making an impact. For that reason, she might be an even tougher opponent for Nakano, who is desperately needing two points. Will Natsu outmaneuver Nakano and hold her back, or will Nakano take a step ahead with the Red Stars?
Natsu appears with P-sama, which she stole from Nakano, hidden in her chest pocket. When the referee checks, she doesn't take it off, saying, "It's just garbage," and "It's useless garbage." When Natsu asks for a handshake, Nakano says, "Let's do this properly after you give it back." When Natsu refuses, saying, "It's a league match," they get into an argument. Nakano picks a fight and the match begins. Natsu provokes Nakano by pushing P-sama at her. Nakano kicks her after a knee attack. Natsu and P-sama go outside the ring. Nakano demands, "Give it back," but Natsu, at ringside, says, "Everyone's fighting to win the championship, so stop messing around with P-sama!" Natsu sprays her from below. She sprays P-sama as well, incurring Nakano's wrath. Natsu appeals, "Put your hands behind your head and kneel." When Nakano complies, Natsu attacks, drawing boos from the crowd. Natsu corners Nakano and ties her and P-sama to the corner. Then Natsu hit a Bronco Buster. Natsu placed P-sama on Nakano's face and prepared for a pin. Natsu drove Nakano to the ropes and kicked him. Nakano hit a back drop and went for the cover but only got a two count. Nakano climbed to the corner but Natsu caught him and went for the Yōran. Natsu was countered but hit a neckbreaker drop followed by a big boot. Natsu attempted a brainbuster hold but Nakano kicked out. Nakano countered Natsu's dragon sleeper with a reverse DDT and a cartwheel double knee drop. Five minutes had passed. Nakano hit a Destiny Hammer and charged but was rolled up. Natsu hit a spin kick and put P-sama down and prepared for the Yōran on Nakano. Nakano dodged and hit a spin kick. Natsu dodged but was hit with a spin kick and a Violet Shooting. Nakano deliberately pulled up the cover and snatched P-sama, then hit a German suplex. Natsu couldn't kick out and Nakano got the three count. A brawl ensued after the match but Nakano didn't let go of P-sama and succeeded in reclaiming him

Andras once again unleashes a barrage of stomps. Kagetsu sprays water on Momo and Priestley, who are waiting on the sidelines. Kagetsu deliberately lets Onozaki land an elbow. This time Hazuki pulls Onozaki's leg and grabs her over the apron, and Kagetsu dives in. Andras delivers a corner elbow attack to Onozaki. Onozaki fights back, but is not allowed to tag.

Jungle Scream <6 points> |
Jungle Kyona, with a 3-2 record, and Jamie Hayter, with a 4-2 record, will clash in an official match. Hayter defeated Konami in the daytime session to take sole possession of the lead in the Blue Stars. However, Kyona, who has won three straight after starting with two consecutive losses, is closing in. A win here would drag Hayter down and tie them in points. Will Kyona ride her momentum, or will Hayter, who stopped her losing streak in the daytime session, win both the daytime and nighttime sessions?
Hater taunts TCS's Kyoko with a "Yes sir!". In a test of strength in a lock-up, Kyoko pushes her into the ropes. When Hater attacks, they exchange shoulder tackles. Hater wins the exchange. She stomps on Kyoko repeatedly and taunts her with "Jungle". She then applies a surfboard stretch over the ropes. Next, she locks Kyoko in a camel clutch
Cornering Kyoko, Hayter unleashed a barrage of stomps. Using the ring post from below, he completely immobilized Kyoko.

| Mayu Iwatani <8 points> |
11 minutes 59 seconds |
Hana Kimura <6 points> |
The main event of the daytime and nighttime tournament will be an official match between Mayu Iwatani and Hana Kimura. Iwatani has neither a winning nor losing streak, but a second consecutive win is essential for her to achieve her second title defense. A win will keep her in contention for the championship, while a loss will eliminate her. Hana lost to AZM at the 9/8 Shin-Kiba event, missing her chance to be the sole leader of the Red Stars. A victory here would eliminate Iwatani and open up another big opportunity for herself. Neither of them can afford to lose. Who will prevail!?
As Iwatani is called, Hana attacks and drives her out of the ring. Hana slams Iwatani into the audience in two directions. When Hana tries to throw Iwatani into the corner, Iwatani slams Hana into the ring post to retaliate. Iwatani attempts a plancha from the corner, but Hana dodges it. Hana pretends to bring Iwatani back into the ring, but instead takes her back to the floor. She then drags her to the back of the audience and throws her down the stairs. Hana returns at the 13 count and waits for Iwatani to return. When Iwatani returns, Hana puts her left leg on the ropes and applies a chokehold. Hana delivers a body slam followed by a single-leg cover. Iwatani kicks out and goes for an elbow, but Hana hits a big boot. Hana kicks Iwatani in the head repeatedly. Hana drives Iwatani into the corner with a series of elbows. She throws Iwatani into the corner and charges in for a running kick. Iwatani dodges and delivers a thrust kick. Iwatani grabs Hana's hand and delivers an arm whip and a low dropkick. Hana counters with a dropkick and a series of big boots. Iwatani kicks out, and five minutes have passed. Hana prepares for a brainbuster. Iwatani grapples with Hana and applies a neck lock on the ground. She tries to force a submission, but Hana resists and lifts her up. She forcefully slams Hana down with a brainbuster, but Iwatani escapes. Hana charges forward, but Iwatani dodges. After dodging each other, Iwatani hits a sling blade. Both are down. They exchange elbows while on their knees, and Iwatani is down. Iwatani gets up and they exchange elbows again. Iwatani hits a thrust kick and goes for a dragon. Iwatani hits Hana down with a dodonpa, but it's only a two count. Iwatani declares she's going for the finish and heads to the corner. Hana hits a superplex, but Iwatani kicks out. Now it's Hana's turn to declare she's going for the finish. She climbs to the corner and Iwatani hits a superplex followed by a moonsault. "One more!" she shouts, but it's dodged. Hana goes for an armlock, but Iwatani reaches the ropes. 10 minutes have passed. Hana charges forward, but Iwatani dodges and hits a high kick. Hana is sent outside the ring. Iwatani hit Hana with a plancha and brought her back into the ring. Iwatani then dropped a frog splash. Hana kicked out, and Iwatani went for a dragon suplex. Hana rolled her up for a pin, but it was only a two count. Iwatani quickly got behind Hana and delivered a dragon suplex. Hana couldn't kick out, and Iwatani won by pinfall
Iwatani: "Good evening, everyone in Osaka! This is great. We had two 5★STAR official matches, one in the afternoon and one at night, and I beat Hana Kimura at night. I got 6, 7, and 8 points! I have another match coming up at Korakuen Hall against Momo Watanabe, so I'm sure I'll win and become a 5★STAR champion for the second year in a row. Please cheer me on! So, today was the first 5★STAR main event in a while, and I won, so I can finally give a proper closing. Everyone, have fun guessing who the winner will be. So, believe in the present, shine tomorrow, We are STARDOM!"
Iwatani's comment
"Okay, so, I don't know why, but I was able to headline the evening show in Osaka for the first time in a while. It was my first main event singles match in a long time, and I don't know how to put it, but it was really intense, and I felt really pain and sadness, but the sense of fulfillment and happiness I felt being able to fight in the main event was something I hadn't felt in a long time, and it was really fun. If I had lost today, I would only have one more match left, so my chances of going to the finals would have really dwindled, so it was a very important match, but I won today and now I have 8 points, so I think I still have a good chance of going to the finals, and I definitely want to win for the second year in a row. I'll do my best. Please support me. Okay, that was good."
—The league season started with a loss, but then you went on to win after a loss, achieving your first consecutive wins
"I see. But when it comes to losing, last year I started the season with two straight losses, so I had a bit of a sense of complacency, thinking I could still manage. I thought that no matter how many times I lost, I'd probably be okay, and that I could just keep trying. But I only have two more matches left, including today's, while some people have three more matches, including today's. If I lost today, well, I'd definitely not be able to win the championship, or rather, my chances of making it to the final would drop to less than half, so I'm really glad we won."
—With this win, you've advanced to the finals and still have the chance to win the championship, but your next match will be against Momo Watanabe at Korakuen Hall
"I agree"
-- Momo also has a chance to win
"It feels like we've got a whole bunch of tough opponents lined up at the end. Not that the opponents in the first half weren't tough, but the ones who are left are the ones who really go head-to-head... what am I even saying?"
--This is your first singles match against Hana in a while. It's been since the Wonder of Stardom Championship match at Shin-Kiba in 2017, when Kagetsu interfered
"Yes. Last time, I was the champion and Hana Kimura was the challenger, but in the end Kagetsu interfered and it was an unsatisfying match, so this isn't my first proper singles match, but today was the first time I had a match with a proper winner and loser, and she was just as monstrous as she looked. I guess you could say she had a rough fight, and every single one of her blows was powerful."
—How does this year's league season compare to last year's championship?
"Well, all I can say about 5★STAR itself is that it's really tough, so I guess it's like summer has come again this year. It's a given that it's going to be grueling... I'm not sure what I'm saying anymore."
--Only Iwatani has the right to win two consecutive titles
"Yes, that's right. Winning two consecutive titles sounds cool, doesn't it? And besides, I had the experience of winning last time but not being able to challenge for the red belt, so this year I want to win properly and challenge for the red belt again."
—Is the red belt the next goal after winning the championship?
"high"
