Lady C |
The Future of Stardom Championship Tournament kicked off the previous day at Korakuen Hall. In the first round, Shirakawa Mina defeated Ruanka to advance to the semi-finals. On this day, Unagi Sayaka faced Lady C. Unagi had also advanced through the Cinderella Tournament to reach the semi-finals, making significant progress towards a first-time victory. Therefore, Unagi has a chance to conquer both major tournaments. Will she be able to wear the Cinderella dress and claim the Future belt? First, she will face the formidable Lady C in the first round. Lady, on the other hand, is still winless, but her entry into this tournament is a great opportunity for her to make a breakthrough
Lady charges forward and lands a series of elbows. She attempts a body slam, but Unagi counters and slams her down the other way. Unagi gets a camel clutch but quickly breaks free. She then stomps on Lady and goes for the cover. Lady kicks out and Unagi stomps on Lady's left leg repeatedly. Unagi helps Lady to her feet. Lady comes forward, but Unagi stands firm and taunts her with an elbow, saying "Come on!" As Unagi charges, Lady delivers a shoulder tackle followed by a body slam with some hang time. Unagi kicks out and Lady attempts a Kawazu Otoshi. Unagi dodges, but Lady lands the Kawazu Otoshi again. Lady charges forward and Unagi hits a face crusher and a guillotine drop. Unagi attempts a Daifuhen Gatame, but Lady counters and they engage in an elbow exchange. Unagi taunts her, saying "Come on!" After an exchange of elbows with a running start, Lady landed a series of big boots. Lady then pulled Unagi up and delivered a chokeslam. Unagi kicked out, but Lady continued to press the attack with a series of cover attempts. Lady landed a series of elbows and put Unagi on the corner. Lady dashed forward, but Unagi hit a face crusher, countering with a big boot of her own. Lady kicked out, and Unagi followed up with a heel drop and a mad splash. Lady couldn't kick out, and Unagi advanced to the next round
Comments about eels
"I won safely. I think the passion (of the ladies) for their first victory was incredible. But I'm not ready to give up yet, and I want to face Shirakawa Mina in the final, so I'm still going to keep going. Watch me."
—You have a chance to win both tournaments, along with Cinderella
"That's right. Well, there are a lot of tough opponents, but I still have a long way to go to become my own kind of maverick."
--Shirakawa also said yesterday that he wanted to compete against Unagi in the final, but you're hoping for a final against Shirakawa?
"That's right. I'm definitely going to extend my Artist of Stardom title defense record tomorrow and fight Mina, and Tam is also doing really well as a Cosmic Angel, so neither of us can stop here, and we'll take on more belts and one of us will become a double champion. No, I'll be the one to become a double champion."

It's Fukigen★ |
6 minutes 14 seconds, |
AZM |
*The other person is Momoko Watanabe
Momo Watanabe and AZM of Queen's Quest, and Fukigen Desu★, who was forcibly transferred from STARS to Oedo Tai, will clash in a 3-Way match. The conventional strategy would be for QQ to team up and put Fukigen in a handicap match situation, but... The focus of this 3-Way match will likely be on how MOMOAZ plays out first
First, Momo and AZM shake hands and team up. They throw Fukigen into the ropes and the three of them perform rope work. After dodging each other's cover attempts, they reset. Momo and AZM feel each other out and try to lure Fukigen in. Fukigen stomps on both of their legs but AZM takes him down and Momo delivers a dropkick. Momo and AZM kick from both the front and back. They both go for the cover but Fukigen kicks out. AZM pretends to team up but betrays them and rolls up Fukigen. Momo gets angry and exchanges elbows with AZM. Momo lands a series of corner dropkicks on AZM. AZM kicks out and goes for a triangle jump plancha, but Fukigen breaks it up with a senton. AZM locks into Fukigen's Indian deathlock with a Manji hold. Momo escapes to the ropes and AZM lands a corner dropkick, Fukigen dodges the second one but the two of them dodge the corner attacks in quick succession. When Fukigen gets upset, AZM charges in. Fukigen dodges and pins both of them at once. Fukigen tries for a double brainbuster but is slammed down instead. Momo covers Fukigen and AZM delivers a diving foot stomp. Momo counters AZM but gets hit with a missile kick. AZM jumps on Momo and puts her in a Manji Gatame, Momo counters but rolls her up. Momo counters again with a Soumatou but only gets a two count. Momo and AZM fight in the corner and Fukigen breaks them up and rolls up AZM. Neither of them gives way in the exchange of counters. AZM lands a high kick but Fukigen throws her into the ropes and her second, Natsuko, hits her with a chair from the apron. Fukigen rolls her up and AZM can't kick out, so the referee counts to three

The following day at the same venue, DDM, consisting of Maika, Himeka, and Natsupoi, who will challenge Tam Nakano, Mina Shirakawa, and Sayaka Unagi for the Artist of Stardom Championship, will face off against Oedo Tai's Natsuko Tora, Konami, and Ruanka in a six-woman tag team match. While this could be seen as a test run for the title match, as a heel unit completely different from the champion team, there is a significant risk of them being caught off guard. In particular, the previous day at Korakuen Hall, Himeka defeated Mayu Iwatani to advance to the semi-finals of the Cinderella Tournament, but it was an unwelcome victory due to interference from Oedo Tai. In a sense, this match is also a chance for revenge. What strategy will Himeka use to surprise Oedo Tai, or will DDM come to a sudden halt before the title match?
When Himeka volunteered to go first, Ryuka came out from Oedo Tai. They locked up and grappled, testing their strength. Himeka got a headlock, and Ryuka threw her into the ropes, and they exchanged shoulder tackles. Oedo Tai interfered, and Ryuka gave Himeka a body press at ringside. Natsuko brought Himeka back into the ring, and Ryuka charged at her. But Himeka countered with a shoulder tackle. Natsupoi came in, but Ryuka hit her with a body slam and a series of hair whips.

Konami stomped on Natsupoi's face and delivered a soccer ball kick. Natsupoi dodged Konami, and Maika tagged in for a brainbuster. Oedo Tai interfered, creating a brawl, and Konami jumped on Himeka and applied a sleeper hold, followed by a dropkick from the front. Natsuko hits Himeka with a senton, a spear body attack, and a cannonball. After an exchange of elbows, Himeka charges in, but Natsuko hits her with a spear. Natsuko hits her with a body slam and climbs to the corner, but Natsupoi interferes. Himeka hits her with a running knee and prepares to powerbomb Natsuko. Natsuko withstands it and retaliates with a series of strikes and a lariat. However, Himeka also retaliates with a lariat. Natsupoi hits Ryuka with a series of dropkicks, climbs to the corner, and attempts a diving body attack. However, Konami interferes with her dash, and the Oedo Tai trio attacks Natsupoi. Ryuka hits Natsupoi with a big boot. Ryuka and Natsupoi exchange elbows, and Himeka assists Natsupoi with a neckbreaker.10minutes have passed. Ryuka dodges Natsupoi, and the Oedo Tai launch a coordinated attack, with Ryuka hitting a fisherman suplex. When Natsupoi responded, Ruanka declared her finishing move and attempted a freezer bomb. However, Natsupoi managed to dodge it. Himeka and Maika slammed Ruanka onto the mat. Natsupoi then hit Ruanka with a swing neckbreaker, but only got a two count. However, when Natsupoi hit her with a Fairial Gift, Ruanka couldn't kick out, and Natsupoi secured the pinfall victory.
Konami: "Hey, I can smell you're in a bad mood. Hey, you're in a bad mood, you want the High Speed belt, right?"
"I'm in a bad mood!"
Konami: "Since you've said you want it, you've been given the opportunity to challenge for the High Speed belt! Do your best to keep up with the well-trained, grumpy Super High Speed. Natsupoi, the end!"
"I'm in a bad mood!"
Natsupoi: "Hold on a second. You lost, but the Oedo Tai have no pride whatsoever? Fine, I'll take you on. Fukigen is a hidden powerhouse. But one thing, if you keep smoking cigarettes, you'll slow down."

Shuri: "Giulia, are you okay? Your head was bleeding so much yesterday, I was worried you wouldn't be able to defend the Goddess title today. But you managed to win it, Giulia, thank you so much. How are you all doing in Nagoya? We, Alto Rivette Cavalian, or Alicaba for short, have successfully defended our title. We, the number one tag team, will continue to defend our title without losing, so please continue to support us. And, well, we haven't decided on our next opponent yet. I was wondering if there's any tag team that would like to take us on,!?」
Shimi and Kamiya appear
Shuri: " Isn't that Utamin and Saya Kamitani, the 18th Tag Team Champions?"
As Akari was about to go towards Shimi, Kamiya put up a barricade
Utami: "To the two of you on the strongest team, please let me and Kamiya, as Aphrodite, challenge for the Goddess belt."
Akari: "Sounds good, I want to do it, I'm looking forward to it. Shall we kiss? (Julia) got mad at me, so that's why I'm looking forward to it. Bye-bye. Shall we kiss after all?"
Shimi and Kamiya left the ring and exited
Akari: "Bye-bye. See you later."
Giulia: "How are you all doing in Nagoya? I guess I look like I'm completely worn out from yesterday and today. But no, I'm totally fine. We don't know when our next match will be, but we'll defend our titles and charge ahead to become number one. I believe (Maika's team) will win Artist of Stardom. So, I'd like to wrap things up. Natsupoi, Himeka, Maika, Shuri, and Giulia. Donna del Mondo, the women who will explode onto the world stage, Arrivederci, see you again!"
Comments from Julia and Akari
Julia: "This is bad, really bad. Starlight Kid is seriously after me. I..."
Akari: "This is bad. This is bad."
Julia: "Well, the reason I didn't touch the mask today is because yesterday I got a big cut on my head, and as you saw last time in Sendai, when I tried to take off the mask, those guys started pulling out my hair. I thought that was bad, so I didn't touch it today. As a result, it went according to plan with me and Akari. We were able to defend ourselves properly."
Shuri: "Today , I had fun facing Mayu Iwatani again after a long time. I lost to Mayu Iwatani in a match for the red belt on October 3rd , so I want to get my revenge somewhere. Also, next..."
Julia "The Challenger"
Akari: "Aphrodite has arrived."
Julia: "We've had MOMOAZ and the MK Sisters, and now here comes another formidable opponent who's been around since the beginning."
Shuri: "We're playing against some incredible opponents. They call us the number one tag team, but we're also playing against strong tag teams and growing stronger, so it might sound strange to say this, but I feel like I should be grateful. We're really playing against a lot of different people."
Giulia: "I'm exhausted. Anyway, homegrown talent is the strongest, it's insane. Iwatani Mayu and Kid are seriously strong. They're strong, and you can tell they've really honed their skills. I understand that, but we've overcome them, and we'll definitely defend our title next time, and as we declared, we'll aim to become the top tag team in the pro wrestling world, so I hope you all look forward to that. So, Arrivederci. See you later."
