I think I was able to express my greatest... revenge and my greatest... sorry for hitting you on the head, and my greatest gratitude right here today.

No matter what anyone says, I am Stardom!"
Comment from Kamitani
"I was able to score two points against Watanabe Momo. Last week I got off to a bad start with a loss, but Watanabe Momo was my opponent in my debut match three years ago. We've also trained together at QQ, and she's also the person I hate for betraying me, and as the record holder for most title defenses, I felt she was a wall I absolutely had to overcome. And today I think I was able to give her my greatest revenge and express my greatest gratitude. Tomorrow I have a match against Hanan, so I'll prepare well for that and do my best to aim for the 5★STAR GP championship. Thank you for your support."
