Yuzuki Hoshino gives a greeting
"Good evening everyone, this is Yuzuki Hoshino. I was scheduled to have my last match here at Korakuen Hall today, but I have fallen seriously ill just before the match and will have to withdraw. I sincerely apologize to everyone who was looking forward to it. I have been suffering from an unexplained illness since shortly before my debut, and although I have been diligently seeking treatment each time, there was no end in sight to my recovery, and by the time I finally found out what the illness was, the senior wrestlers I trusted and consulted with had retired, and I was left with no one to talk to, and before I knew it, I had lost the ability to trust anyone. Since then, my health has only gotten worse, and there have been days when I have not been able to attend practice." I've become afraid of professional wrestling. In order to improve the illness I'm currently suffering from, there's no other way than to leave my current environment, that is, Stardom. Therefore, I, Yuzuki Hoshino, would like to announce that I will be stepping down from the Stardom ring and ending my career as a wrestler today. I've been told it's a waste, but whether it's a waste or not depends on what I do from now on. Not just anyone can become a professional wrestler. I am truly proud to have become such a professional wrestler, and I intend to live the rest of my life more happily than anyone else. Thank you so much for everything up until now."

Iroha: "Hello everyone at Stardom, this is Marvelous. I'm sure you all expected Hoshizuki Mei to lose, but she won. QQ, Momo-chan. You've gotten stronger. But we can say this because we won. See you again someday. Someday. I'm looking forward to it. And there's one thing I want to say. Hayashishita Utami? Um, I heard that you might or might not have a match against the winner of Iwatani Mayuvs.. It's just talk about whether or not you will, sorry. I know you won the league tournament. But before that, before that, I was the one who made the promise. Iwatani Mayuvs.Iroha Takumi, but I wonder if Mayu can take (defend) the red belt as she is now. That's what worries me, but please let me go next. Hayashishita Utami will be after that. Maybe she'll have a match against me, but I made the promise first, so please keep that in mind."
Utami: "Next, before I have a match against the winner of Mayu Iwatanivs.Shuri, Iroha wants to challenge first. Well, I understand what she's saying. She has already beaten Mayu Iwatani. So, I'll let her go first. It's best to keep your promises. I will have a match later against either Mayu Iwatani, Shuri, or Iroha Takumi for the red belt, so I will take the best part in the end. You three should do your best to raise the value of the red belt for my sake."
AZM: "Is that enough? Mei Hoshizuki, you're quite something. If you don't mind, I'd love to have another singles match with you! If you don't mind, would you be willing to challenge for the next High Speed Championship?" Hoshizuki: "People often say that Mei looks like AZM."
AZM: "They look alike, they look alike."
Hoshizuki: "It's good to take on challenges, but I really want to do it as a tag team with Mei."
AZM: "Well, it's up to Rossy Ogawa and Nagayo to decide, so please look forward to it."
Marvelous comment
—What was it like to participate in your former promotion, Stardom, leading a group of wrestlers?
Iroha: "Right now there are all sorts of events like Assemble, where different organizations come together to do something. But Stardom's name wasn't on the list for the next event onOctober1st. To be honest, I was hoping that (champion Iwatani) would raise the value of the red belt and that I could move up too, seeing the good things. But when I saw that she didn't win the league tournament, I thought, wait a minute, isn't the value of the belt going down? I wrote about that on Twitter, and Watanabe Momo attacked me, which led to this situation. It's true that Stardom has a lot of fans, and it's exciting. But you just saw the matches in the ring, the pro wrestling, right? The results are everything, aren't they?"
Hoshizuki: "I won. This is my first time in Stardom. I've always been very sensitive to the word 'high speed,' and since AZM holds the high speed belt, I was able to have a match against AZM today, and I don't think I lost at all. I'd like to team up with him in a tag match."
Kadokura: "When I looked at social media, everyone was writing about Takumi-san, Takumi-san, and how Ogawa-san also has a player he's keeping an eye on, but I was like, 'Is that all there is to it?' Even if I'm not on their radar, I have no choice but to leave my mark here. Well, the one I was most interested in was Hayashishita Utami. She won the 5☆STAR GP. That really fired me up, yes."
Iroha has declared her challenge for the red belt
Iroha: "Yes. That was back in February."
Did you declare your challenge again today?
Iroha: "Yes. Quite some time has passed, but what do you think? Has the value of the red belt increased? The reaction is lukewarm. In that case, I have no choice but to take it. Utami, I had a match with you this time, and you're a well-built wrestler. I think you're a pretty good wrestler, so I think it would be best for you to keep me in your sights rather than Iwatani Mayu or Shuri."
The challenge for the red belt is an individual one, but will Marvelous, as a group, return to Stardom?
Iroha: "Well, once I win the belt, I'll become the absolute champion of Stardom. I think it would be fun to bring up more wrestlers in an interesting way. All the young wrestlers are working hard. It's not that the Stardom wrestlers aren't working hard, but we also have pride in what we do, so I'm curious to see what kind of interesting things will happen in the ring if we bring those two sides together. When I win the belt, I want to make that happen."

Comments from Julia and Akari
Giulia: "Wow, Stardom is amazing. It feels great."
Akari: "This feels great. I'm in the best mood, the best prelude. Iwatani Mayu, a masochist ? Well ... I'm looking forward to it. I'll fully show my sadistic side, and although I think I'm a sadist , I also have a masochistic side, so I can handle either. So if Iwatani Mayu is a masochist , I want to show her my sadistic side to the fullest ... "
Julia: "Make sure you defend your white suit properly. I'm looking forward to seeing you beat up Mayu Iwatani in the main event."…」
Akari: "I want to show everyone this image of me with a red belt around my waist."
Giulia: "It's been a long, long time since I won the Cinderella title, and we've been arguing and fighting about all sorts of things. Looking back, I think, 'Were we stupid?' But it felt so good back then. The final showdown. Is it really over here? Is this goodbye to Tam? It's sad, but I'm going to show her hell and turn her into a crushed tomato. DDM will take all the belts, the Goddess belt, the Red belt, the White belt, and DDM will rule Stardom."

Comments from Iwatani & Nakano
Nakano: "Are you okay?"
Iwatani: "If you ask me whether I'm okay or not, I'd say I'm not okay. Today we drew, and I couldn't win, but the Red Belt title match at Yokohama Budokan is now unlimited time, so I can fight without worrying about the time. I think I'll be able to show my true colors as Iwatani Mayu, fighting back no matter how many times I get hit. However, the weight of each and every blow is huge. Today was a tag match, so Tam helped me out a lot. Next time, in a singles match, it will be a one-on-one fight, and I want to fully experience the power of kicks."
Nakano: "The cutest face in the universe is all beaten up...But for the first time, Julia and I really clicked, haha. With no time limit and no draws, who will be the one to look up at the Yokohama Budokan ceiling as heaven, Julia or me? Mayu, let's both go to heaven together!"
Iwatani: "That's awesome! Let's definitely wear red and white!"
