Maika's comment
"I won the semi-final against Unagi Sayaka. I hated her even before the match, but now that it's over, I think she's the first one to bring this up. She keeps complaining about my weaknesses, and even after the match, I still hate her. Next time we face each other, I'm going to crush her. That's all."
Comments about eels
"The miracle ends here. Three of the remaining four are called the 'Golden Generation,' but I think it's boring if it's all gold. I'm going to get something even more spectacular that's uniquely mine."
—What are your impressions of making it to the top four?
"I don't feel like I've achieved anything, and it's frustrating, but this is the best I can do right now as Unagi Sayaka. I've also developed a new finishing move, and there are so many things I want to do. I'll keep working on perfecting them."

8 minutes 51 seconds |
Himeka |
The other semi-final match of the Cinderella Tournament is between Saya Kamitani and Himeka. Kamitani has advanced to the semi-finals by defeating Tam Nakano and Starlight Kid, while Himeka has defeated Hanan and Mayu Iwatani. Kamitani defeated her mentor Nakano with a stunning aerial move and then pinned Kid, showcasing her versatile style. Himeka, on the other hand, has defeated Hanan and Iwatani. Her victory against Iwatani, a former champion, was somewhat unsatisfactory due to interference from the Oedo Tai, but a win is a win. She has been absent due to injury treatment, and there may be concerns as this is her comeback match, but she is focusing on treatment in order to win the tournament, so there should be no major problems. Will Kamitani or Himeka advance to the final?

Himeka's comment
"themonth or so I was out of action, Stardom itself held a lot of shows, and not only Kamiya but also Maika and Unagi improved their skills there. Itamonth, but I felt like I was being left behind."
--Regarding your lower back pain
"My back isn't completely healed yet, but I don't want to blame it on my back, so I hope to be able to have the singles matches I've always wanted to do with Kamiya and Maika once I've fully recovered."
--But the final against Maika was cancelled
"I've never had a singles match with Maika, and the fans love the Maihime tag team, so I really felt that they wanted to see a singles match. I feel bad for both the fans and Maika, but here, Maika will become Cinderella, and I will make a complete comeback and take the victory from Maika."

*The other team is Tam Nakano & Julia
Initially, a three-way tag team match was scheduled between Giulia & Natsupoi,WatanabeMomo & AZM,andNakano Tam & Shirakawa Mina. However, following Giulia's appeal at the June 8 Korakuen Hall event, the partners will be shuffled by lottery on the day of the match. Watanabe Momo, upon hearing this proposal in the ring, strongly objected. Depending on the pairings, a dangerous team may be formed that could prevent the match from even taking place. In stark contrast to the unit rivalries between Donna del MondoandQueen's Quest and COSMIC ANGELS, the match is poised for an unpredictable turn of events.
QQ, DDM, and Kozuen entered in that order. A lottery was held in the ring, determining that Giulia & Nakanovs.Natsupoi & AZMvs.Shirakawa & Momo. The match started with Nakano, Natsupoi, and Shirakawa as the starters. Nakano and Natsupoi locked up. Shirakawa sent Momo out of the ring and teamed up with Nakano of Kozuen.

Shirakawa and Momo then deliver dropkicks to Giulia. Momo corners Giulia and delivers a dropkick. Nakano cuts off Momo's charge and calls Giulia in. However, they can't agree on who to throw the ball to. Giulia lifts Nakano and body slams her onto Momo. Giulia delivers a dropkick to Momo. AZM delivers a triangle jump plancha to Giulia. Momo and AZM engage in an elbow exchange. AZM attempts a brainbuster on Momo, but Momo counters by slamming him down. AZM dodges Momo's lariat and delivers a brainbuster of her own. Natsupoi lays Momo down, and Natsupoi and AZM then lay Giulia and Nakano down as well. Shirakawa delivers a body slam to Natsupoi, using Giulia and the others as springboards, but incurring their wrath, she is attacked by all of them. They corner Shirakawa, but Shirakawa dodges them all and delivers a running elbow attack, scattering Giulia, Nakano, and Natsupoi. Shirakawa calls Momo over and throws Natsupoi into the ropes. AZM joins in, and they exchange dropkicks with Natsupoi. Natsupoi and AZM deliver a diving foot stomp to Shirakawa from the corner, but Momo manages to break it up. Momo climbs to the corner, but Giulia cuts her off and prepares for a superplex. They called Nakano over and instructed him to do a double. Natsupoi and AZM then joined in, completing the avalanche-style pin. AZM faked out Shirakawa's charge and rolled him up. In the end, AZM pinned Shirakawa. After the match, the teams that weren't on the winning team fell out with each other.
AZM: "AZM and Natsupoi's high-speed tag team has won! Natsupoi and I will be tag team... not really, but I wouldn't mind if Natsupoi showed off her high-speed skills again. But my partner is still Momo-chan, right?"
Julia: "Tam, you said you have bad luck with draws, but you're actually pretty lucky to be teamed up with Julia."
Nakano: "That's the worst!"
Giulia: "Well, today's match was a special gift from me, from us, a big match only. Arrivederci. See you next time!"
Shirakawa's comment
"I lost again today, and although I won the Future tournament the other day, I've been feeling really frustrated lately. I feel like I'm in the middle of a storm right now, and I know that the wind won't calm down unless I get out of this situation. I realized today, after fighting and sparring with various people, that I have to break free from this current situation. I'm going to break free."
Julia's comment
"So, what did you think of the third match with no theme? I think it was interesting. We got to see things we don't usually get to see. But I think there are a lot of people who think Giulia is just doing this to create buzz, so if that's the case, don't underestimate Giulia. I had a goal... or rather, something I wanted to confirm, so I suggested shuffling the cards today. And it seems that what I thought was correct, so now I'm looking forward to figuring out how to get that person into DDM. That's another thing to look forward to. Arrivederci, see you next time."

Comment from Kamitani
"Before I encountered professional wrestling, I tried many things like dancing and being an idol, and it was really tough, and no matter how hard I tried, it was never rewarded. But now, for the first time as a professional wrestler, I've been able to win the Cinderella title all by myself, and I'm so happy. Today, I've gone from being a future stardom wrestler to Cinderella. So from now on, I'll do my best to become a true star."
—It was a tough fight with two matches in one day, what was the reason for your victory?
"Up until now, I've always had a very weak will, and even when I held the belt, there were many times when I felt discouraged. But I think the reason I was able to win is because I made my own efforts to strengthen my mental fortitude and was able to face the fight with confidence."
—This is your first victory against Maika, whom you've been hoping to face. And you even won the championship
"Maika always takes the Future Championship first, and I never get to take it. She always takes the Future Championship first, and I always get beaten in singles matches, and she even made the cover of Weekly Pro Wrestling, so she's always one step ahead of me. But I was confident that I wasn't losing, so I'm really proud of myself for being able to fight and win in a singles match like this today."
—Who would you like to face and what kind of battles would you like to have once you reach the top of the tournament?
"That's right. Having won the Cinderella Tournament, I believe I have the right to challenge for the belt. I really want to fight Tam Nakano, the wrestler I defeated in the first round of the Cinderella Tournament, who is my mentor and the one who introduced me to professional wrestling, for that white belt." -- You're about to put on a Cinderella dress
"Yes. Right now I can smell sweat and salt (laughs). The salt is coming out of my body, yes. I feel sticky, but there was a shower room. But I don't have a bath towel (wry smile). What should I do? But I'm happy."
--Please show us your dress
"Yes, thank you very much."

*Utami Hayashishita, the 13th champion, successfully defended her title for the fifth time
Syuri will challenge Utami Hayashishita for the World of Stardom Championship. Hayashishita won the red belt for the first time last year on November 15 in Sendai, defeating Mayu Iwatani. Since then, she has successfully defended the title four times, defeating Momo Watanabe, Maika, Saya Kamitani, and Bea Priestley. In the last two matches, the match was scheduled as a semi-final, but the Stardom championship, the pinnacle of the sport, is back in the main event of a big match. This will be Syuri's second challenge, the first being on October 3 in Yokohama last year . After her loss in Yokohama, Syuri joined Stardom and became a contracted wrestler in order to win the red belt. Currently, Syuri holds the SWA World Singles Championship and the Goddesses of Stardom Championship in a tag team with Giulia, so winning the top title would also give her a chance to become a triple crown champion. Will Hayashishita defend the belt and return the World Championship to its main event position, or will Syuri win the title for the first time and open the door to the "Syuri World" as she declared?

"Excuse me for a moment?" Natsuko appears
Natsuko: "You must be tired, so you don't have to talk so much. I'm on top of the world right now. You know why, right? That's right, I proved what I've been saying all along right in front of you guys today. And apparently, Oedo Tai is trending on Twitter. I can't help but feel great. So, I'd like to challenge you (holding up Kid's mask), what do you say? Of course you'll accept, right?"

Comment from Juri
"Uh... I'm so frustrated (tears). I went into today's match determined to win the red belt. But I couldn't grab the red belt again. I've been through so much, and there have been so many unpleasant and painful things. I wanted to shine in pro wrestling, and I finally came to Stardom, a place where I can be noticed and shine. Next time, I will wear the red belt! I will definitely wear it! I won't give up! I will wear the highest belt in Stardom. And I will start a new era of red. I will absolutely do it."
Comment from Utami
"Haa haa haa... I've defended my title for the fifth time. I've defended it, but Red Champion Hayashishita Utami isn't satisfied with this, Shuri! Today I defended it, but I have to face Shuri again and settle the score for sure. I thought I had taken the belt from Iwatani Mayu, defeated Bea, and become the world's Hayashishita Utami, but I'm still not ready to call myself the world's Hayashishita Utami. But I still want to create a new era, the era of Hayashishita Utami, together with this belt. I'm not letting go of this belt just yet."
—What do you think about defending the belt against Shuri?
"For convenience, this belt has been successfully defended. The number of defenses has now reached five. As a champion, and as a fan, I think that's something to be happy about. Utami Hayashishita has successfully defended her title. But Utami Hayashishita is happy about the defense, but since she didn't get the pinfall, she's probably feeling half happy and half disappointed."
—You persevered despite being beaten so badly, didn't you?
"My face was beaten to a pulp, I was hit so many times, I don't even remember what was done to me. Shuri, I may have endured it many times, but I don't remember what was done to me, and I don't remember what I was doing at the time. It's out of pride as the red champion that I'm standing here now with this belt. This belt has brought me this far."
Then, Saya Kamiya's theme song plays, and Kamiya, the winner of the Cinderella Tournament, appears from the aisle. This year's dress is green. She is presented with a trophy in the shape of a glass slipper in the ring
Kamiya: "I was able to win the Cinderella Tournament2021! Today, I have gone from being a future stardom to a Cinderella, and from now on I want to aim to become a true stardom. I have been through a lot to get to this point, but I believe that meeting professional wrestling was my destiny. And Tam-san, I would like to challenge for the white belt. I would really appreciate your support!"
Nakano walks towards ringside, but Kamiya doesn't seem to notice?
Kamiya: "I'm sure there will be many more difficulties, hardships, and challenges ahead, but I will work hard towards my dream! Thank you for your support! Thank you very much for today!"
Nakano applauded from ringside. In the ring, Saya Kamitani was introduced again
Comments from Kamiya dressed as Cinderella
"I've asked Nakano to accept everything, and I'm going to take on the challenge of the white belt and wear a white belt around my waist."
—What did you think of wearing the Cinderella dress?
"I've never worn such a beautiful dress in my life, so it's really amazing that my dream came true and I got to wear such a beautiful dress after winning."
—Is today the last time you'll call yourself a future stardom?
"Yes. Up until now, I think I've been saying "the future of Stardom, the future of Stardom" so much that it must have gotten tiresome to everyone's ears, but today I won't be shouting "the future of Stardom" anymore, although I'm not shouting it today, because I've become Cinderella. The next time I shout, I want to shout "I am Stardom."
Nakano comes in
Nakano: "Kamiya, you were there (ringside) the whole time, why didn't you come over?"
Kamiya: "I'm sorry (wry smile)."
Nakano: "Congratulations, Kamiya."
Kamiya: "I became Cinderella."
Nakano: "Say it again."
Kamiya: "Please let me challenge for Tamu's white belt."
Nakano: "I'm happy to. Kamiya has a very bright future ahead of her, but I still have dreams and a future that I want to fulfill, so I'm not giving up yet."
Kamiya: "I don't want to be seen here as a master and apprentice; I want to surpass Tamu-san. I will surpass him. Watch me. No, I will take him from you."
Nakano: "I won't let them take it."
Kamiya: "I'll take it. I'll take it."
Nakano: "I'm looking forward to it."
Kamiya: "Yes."
Nakano: "I'm looking forward to it. It's so beautiful."
Kamiya: "Thank you. I have so many feelings for Tam-san, and if it weren't for Tam-san, I wouldn't have encountered pro wrestling, so I'm really glad that Tam-san was there for me. I'll pour these feelings into the White Belt match and next I'll aim to surpass my mentor."
