Shuri: "Today was the start of my Stardom career, and I faced Oedo Tai and Konami. Wow, we had a great kicking exchange right from the start, so I'm looking forward to heating things up even more in our next match and going head-to-head with Konami. And this year, I'm going to shine the brightest in Stardom. And I'm definitely aiming for the red belt."
