Saya Kamitani <3 points> |
In the daytime session, Saya Kamitani defeated her senior, Tam Nakano, to claim her first league win, and now she's up against Death Yama, who has lost all four of his matches. Kamitani seems to have the momentum, but Death Yama is not going to end the league season with a clean sweep, so caution is needed. How will Kamitani manage to snatch her second win from Death Yama, who has already been eliminated, or will Death Yama manage to strike back?
As the gong sounded, Deathyama struck his usual pose facing all four directions. However, Kamitani interrupted him, luring him into rope work and delivering a dropkick. Kamitani followed up with a jumping knee attack and another dropkick. When Deathyama countered, Kamitani applied a sickle hold to force a submission. Kamitani transitioned into a reverse figure-four leglock. When Deathyama escaped, he countered Kamitani's body slam and pinched his nose. Kamitani applied a camel clutch and reached for the ropes. Deathyama tried to stop him by wrapping his arm around Kamitani's, but Kamitani managed to escape. Kamitani attempted a big boot, but Deathyama countered with a senton. Deathyama announced a "brainbuster DEA-TH," but was thrown in the opposite direction. Deathyama attempted a series of roll-ups, but Kamitani wouldn't let him get the three count. Kamitani delivered a knee kick and declared his finish, performing a standing double knee drop and a running shooting star press. However, Deathyama reversed it and got the three count. Deathyama was the winner

In the daytime main event, Shuri suffered a surprising defeat against AZM, and now she will face Iida Saya in an official match. With a forfeit loss, she already has two losses, so it's fair to say she's in a do-or-die situation. Iida Saya has yet to win a match so far, so Shuri will definitely want to secure two points, but as this is their first singles match, it's impossible to know how it will turn out. If Shuri gets caught in Iida's Iidabashi, there's a possibility that she could suffer consecutive losses in both the daytime and nighttime matches.

Utami: "My, my undefeated championship... This year I was supposed to win the championship undefeated and become the best summer girl, but Momo-san was strong as expected. So far in this year's 5☆STAR, I have 4 wins and 1 draw for 9 points. I couldn't quite achieve an undefeated record, but even so, I'm still the Blue Goddess, I should be in the lead. This year, this year I want to become the best summer girl of Stardom2020debutant."

Momo's comment
"5☆STAR, 20 minutes just isn't enough time for a match against Utami . I'll definitely settle things with her someday. This time in the 5☆STAR official match, it was a draw, so I only have 5 points so far. I'm going to win all the remaining matches and still aim for the championship, so please support me."
Comment from Utami
"My dream of winning the championship with an undefeated record this year didn't come true, but my first singles match against Momo in a long time, and my first singles match in Japan, was incredibly fun. It was so much fun. There wasn't enough time. I really wanted to win and end it on a high note, but it ended in a draw, but it was really fun. But that doesn't matter in 5☆STAR. I didn't get that crucial point, but I still have 9 points. I still have 9 points left. This year, I will definitely, definitely, definitely win the championship."
