And my opponent was Iida-san, a senior from STARS whom I've never beaten before. I'm incredibly happy. But I want to go higher and higher and higher, so there are still so many things I need to improve. I realized that in today's match, but I will continue to grow."

Comments from Maika-gumi
Seira: "I secured three points with dropkicks! I will continue to train my dropkicks and aim to develop a kick that can kill someone!"
Suzuki: "Mei-chan is the best, and hey Maika, this tag team is surprisingly good, isn't it?"
Maika: "It's better than I expected."
Suzuki: "Me too, I thought during the match, 'Isn't this tag team pretty good?' But you guys, you don't really understand what generational rivalry is all about, some of you are saying it's not interesting, but do you know why we do it? We do it to change the landscape of Stardom. It's not fun if we keep seeing the same scenery all the time, right? So don't you dare disappoint us at the next Korakuen Hall
show!" Maika: "Is that a joke? But you know, I still have a lot of things I want to do. Generational rivalry is just the first step. So Mei, Suzu, I'll be counting on you from now on."
Suzu: "Nice to meet you~"
Comments from Nanae's group
Nanae: "This was the second time the three of us teamed up, and HANAKO has passion. We may have lost, but I saw that she didn't give up as much as last time, and her height alone is a real weapon. We may have lost today, but we can win soon. As long as we don't give up, we can definitely win. That's passion!"
HANAKO: "Although I lost, I'm very honored to receive such praise. I want to put more passion into it, practice even more, and definitely win next time."
Mizumori: "Passion! I'm frustrated that I couldn't win even though I teamed up with Nanae Takahashi. This is better than I can do. I have a match scheduled with Nanae at Korakuen Hall. I lost the Goddess belt, and a lot of people are coming to me for a passion-injecting match, but haven't I been playing it safe lately?"
Nanae: "Passive?"
Mizumori: "I think Mizumori Yuna is one of the wrestlers who has received a lot of passion-injecting matches since her debut. That's why, in the singles match on June 4th, I intend to turn the tables and make it a passion-extracting match against Takahashi Nanae. I'm going to make it a match that will completely drain Nanae's passion!"
Nanae: "I told you, didn't I? All those inexplicable actions will all be settled in that match, settled. I'll do it, Passion!"
Mizumori: "I'm going to take on Nanae Takahashi at Korakuen Hall on June 4th! Passion!"

*AZM, the 22nd champion, failed in her 13th title defense. Saki Kashima becomes the 23rd champion
Saki Kashima is challenging AZM for the High Speed Championship for the second time in a row. Last time, the title match was announced by the organization, but this time it will be realized by Kashima exercising her Ehomaki right certificate. However, the champion AZM has expressed his displeasure with Kashima's consecutive challenges. He has proposed a three-way title defense, but Kashima has nominated Fukigen★ from the same Oedo Tai group. This could effectively become a handicap match. Can the struggling AZM extend his defense record, or will Kashima win her first singles championship, or will Fukigen★ surprise everyone with a betrayal and snatch the belt? In many ways, this promises to be a thrilling and suspenseful High Speed match

They deliver a double kick, but AZM sends them both to the outside with a dropkick. AZM tries to go over the ring post but slips.The twoenter the ring and Fukigen dashes in.

Five minutes have passed. Kashima and AZM are thrown into the ropes and Fukigen breaks up AZM's swan dive. Kashima and Fukigen exchange roll-up attempts. In the end, Kashima is on top.
Kashima's comments
"I finally got the singles belt... No, I know, I know what you want to say, I know you want to say that it wasn't a match to cry over, I get it. Saki doesn't have a red or white theme or any kind of emotional story, and yeah, I'm always being called an energy-saving wrestler, and I'm always being told to just do my job properly. I know that better than anyone, but the victory I won with my own Kashima Saki pro wrestling is so great that it makes me want to cry. I'm happy, and at the same time, I want to protect this belt forever and ever and ever. I want to protect it forever. Of course, as champion, I have to defend it. So, I really hope that people who are fast or have a lot of power don't challenge me, and I hope the time limit is only one or two minutes, and on the other hand, on the other hand, yeah, I hope that clumsy guys and weak rookies who just debuted will challenge me."
A bad mood is coming
Unhappy: "Desu! Desu! Desu! Desu! Desu! Desu!"
Kashima: "You heard what I was saying, right? You weren't doing a moonsault today, were you? No way. No way."
Unhappy: "Deesu, deesu, deesu!"
Kashima: "I think when they see this they'll decide on the company card, so I guess the challenge is confirmed. No, not yet, I'm not going to drop it yet, Saki, I'm absolutely not going to drop this belt! Read the mood, Fukigen."
AZM's comment
"I was the one who said it would be 2 against 1, but I lost pretty badly. But Kashima Saki, how many months has it been since my 1 year? About 1 year and 3 months of history isn't something that can be easily erased, so at best it's my, well, to put it bluntly, a curse. I dropped High Speed, and you all tell me not to stay at High Speed when I have it, but yeah. I dropped High Speed. So, current champion, just you wait."

* MIRAI & Sorei Ami, the 27th champions, successfully defended their title for the second time
MIRAI and Sorei Ami, who achieved their long-held dream of winning the Goddesses of Stardom Championship at Yokohama Arena on April 23rd, will be defending their title for the second time. This time, they will face the Oedo Tai team of Tora Natsuko and Watanabe Momo. However, this will be a challenging title defense for the champions. MIRAI has been sidelined for the last three tournaments due to injuries, and this will be her return match. Her partner, Sorei, has also lost the Future of Stardom Championship, falling from being a double champion. It must be said that facing Oedo Tai in this battered state will be tough. Natsuko and Momo, although they don't often team up together, regularly team up in unit matches, so there should be no concerns for them. This title match seems to have only disadvantages for the champions. Can MIRAI and Sorei overcome this crisis, or will Oedo Tai's Natsuko and Momo snatch the belts away?
MIRAI volunteers to start the match ahead of Sorei. Sorei sends MIRAI out and MIRAI puts Momo in a headlock. Momo counters with a lariat, but MIRAI dodges it repeatedly. Momo says, "I'll finish this," and targets MIRAI's left knee, but MIRAI doesn't allow it and calls Sorei in, and they deliver a double chop. However, the Oedo Tai pull her leg from under the ring, and Momo delivers a Soma-to to the outside. In the brawl outside the ring, Momo attacks MIRAI, saying, "I don't care what happens!" Natsuko throws Sorei into the audience. Momo hits MIRAI with a bat and brings her back into the ring. MIRAI is in agony, clutching her left knee. She is captured in her corner and handed over to Natsuko. Natsuko attacks MIRAI's left knee and puts her in a reverse figure-four leglock. Momo continues her attack on MIRAI's left knee. MIRAI gets up and tries to move forward but collapses. Momo taunts her, "What did you come here for?!" MIRAI lands a series of elbows but it doesn't last, and Momo says, "I'll finish you off," and applies a leg lock. Sorei breaks up the hold and tackles Momo, and MIRAI dodges the tag with Sorei. Sorei enters and hits Momo with a running body attack. Natsuko interferes, but Sorei corners both of them and hits her with a running body attack. Momo counters by kicking Sorei's right arm. Natsuko enters and her lariat clashes with Sorei's. Natsuko goes for a series of elbows, and Sorei retaliates. Sorei dodges them, but Natsuko hits a cross body. MIRAI calls for a tag and enters the ring. She hits Natsuko with a missile kick from the corner. MIRAI attempts a back drop, but Natsuko resists and hits her with a face crusher, followed by a series of elbows and a lariat. MIRAI taunts from the corner, but Natsuko interferes, delivering a lariat with "all my soul" on it. However, Sorei intervenes. Natsuko and Momo charge forward, but the champions pull the ropes and deliver lariats on the apron. Sorei lifts Natsuko and throws her out of the ring. MIRAI brings Natsuko back into the ring, and10minutes have passed. Sorei delivers a kamikaze, and MIRAI follows with a reverse splash senton. MIRAI helps Natsuko up and climbs to the corner. Then Ruika hits her with a box, Natsuko delivers a shoulder throw, and Momo delivers a Soma-to. Natsuko delivers a frog splash. MIRAI counters, and Natsuko locks her left leg in a stretch muffler. MIRAI manages to escape. Natsuko and Momo team up, but MIRAI kicks Natsuko away, separating her from Momo. Natsuko and MIRAI exchange blows, and Natsuko takes the hits and gets up to deliver a lariat. MIRAI reverses and goes for the cover, but it's only a two count. MIRAI throws a lariat, but Natsuko kicks out. MIRAI and Sorei exchange lariats, but Momo manages to break it up. MIRAI tries to lift Natsuko, but she resists. Natsuko counters, but MIRAI rolls her up. MIRAI jumps in and puts an armlock on Natsuko as she attempts a lariat. MIRAI takes her to the center and delivers a Miramare. Momo cuts it off with a bat, hands Natsuko an iron pipe, and they double-team her. Natsuko attempts a Death Valley Bomb, but Sorei breaks it up, and15minutes have passed. Natsuko woke MIRAI and charged at her for a lariat, but MIRAI stopped her and did a backflip. Momo landed a counter high kick on MIRAI and teamed up with Natsuko to slam her to the mat, but it was only a two count. Natsuko laid MIRAI down and declared she was going for the finish with a Swanton Bomb. MIRAI dodged it and got on top, and the referee counted to three. Momo confronted the referee, but the decision was not overturned.
Then Queen's Quest appeared and Shimi took the microphone
Shimi: "I have no use for you two (MIRAI & Sorei), get out of the way. Hey, hey,Twitter, and then you lost. What happened? Were you always that weak? Were you always that all talk?"
Tora: "Shut up. You guys are always fighting over something stupid, and you're always picking fights with us!"
Oedo Tai and QQ are in a brawl
Momo: "Hey, Queen's Quest, if you guys have the energy to do something this rough, why didn't you do it sooner? What's the point now? Fine, if you're motivated, let's settle this already. Since there are so many of you, how about a cage match? Let's settle this completely."
Kamiya: "A wire fence? That's perfect. Let's do it. But can you guys get outside the wire fence?"
Kid: "Well, let me ask you a question in return, Aphrodite, are you sure it's okay to go into the cage in this situation? You're acting strangely confident, but... I mean, last time we had an all-out war, Momo betrayed me and I got utterly defeated, so I want to show him that again.1,2,3,4,5,6(counting the number of members in the Oedo Tai). (QQ)
(Pointing) 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , and then Amasaki. 6 against 6 , it's an all-out war between Oedo Tai and Queen's Quest, settled! Sounds good, right ?!
After the brawl, the Oedo Tai members left the ring via the ramp, and Kid exited shouting, "Now, let's fight in the cage!"
Comments from MIRAI & Sorei
Sorei: "Today, Oedo Tai, together with MIRAI, successfully defended the Goddess belts against Natsuko and Momo."
MIRAI: "Am I okay? Well, I'd say I managed to defend this belt somehow. I feel like if I put these feelings into words they'll just sound cheap, but this was my first time missing a match, I caused a lot of trouble and worry, and for the first time I felt that pro wrestling was tough. But Ami, Shuri, and everyone around me gave me lots of support and comments. In the end, I think this was a good opportunity to confront my own weaknesses, and I felt that only by knowing my weaknesses can I truly understand what strength is. What I felt today was that the ring is great after all. I really felt alive. From here on, I have no intention of being buried, I will go to the top. And I will forge a new era. With all my heart! Thank you."
Magnificent: "We're also looking for the next challenger, so anyone is welcome to take on the challenge anytime."

Giulia: "Hold on a second. Um, I won, but can I speak before the lady? Ah, ah, ah, it's been a while, light blue girl. Donna del Mondo took the Artist belt in one go. REstart is off to the starting line now. Ha ha ha. I wonder who the next challenger will be, I wonder. If there isn't one, then maybe thethreeof us can hold the belts forever."
Iwatani Mayu, Hazuki, and Koguma's STARS will be appearing
Julia: "Oh, oh, yes, yes, yes, I see, I see."
Hazuki: "Julia, is your voice okay? Is it really hoarse? Are you alright?"
Julia: "It's totally fine."
Hazuki: "Okay, okay. So, the fact that we're here means that the crazy trio from STARS will be challenging that artist for the belt!"
Koguma: "Julia, your voice is cool."
Julia: "Thank you."
Koguma: "Yes. Well, thesethree, you know, Mayu, they've done a lot of things, haven't they? You know. Thesethreeare what you might call STC. STC."
Julia: "Stop rambling on. Get to the point."
Koguma: "S is for STARS. T is for Triple, three T's. C is for Crazy. That's right, it's STC. So, we were thinking we'd like to try that wire mesh we were just talking about. Right, Mayu?"
Iwatani: "No, no, no, she just said she was going to declare her intention to challenge as an artist, right? That's why I said we should go, right? Again!? Nobody wants to see it again!? Well, huh? Is that okay with the champions? It's fine for Mayu, but aren't the champions getting scared?"
Julia: "You're the one who's scared, Iwatani."
Iwatani: "Yeah, I'm scared."
Julia: "I'll do it. I'll do anything, even wire mesh. But let me tell you one thing. This isn't a game. A bear cub and a person? I'll grill them on the wire mesh and eat them! I accept the challenge. Oh, that's right. My voice is a bit like this, so could you speak like a lady at the end?"

Oh, and by the way, feel free to add toppings today. Well then, excuse me!"
Comments from Julia's group
Giulia: "I got the belt! This is Sakurai's first belt!"
Sakurai: "I was able to win my first title, thank you!"
Giulia: "My opponent was a tough one, and I'm not satisfied with this kind of win, but a win is a win. I still want to have more matches with KAIRI. There are other opponents I can fight because there are other belts to consider. For example, Nanae Takahashi, there are a lot of others. I have to back up this Artist belt for the sake of the unit and for Sakurai to grow even more. That's why Thekla and I have to keep showing the way. Keep an eye on DDM's title defense road from now on. But before that, there's STARS, right? I don't care if it's a cage match or whatever. There seems to be one guy who's scared, but I'm not scared at all. I'll grill them all on the grill. Arrivederci!"
Sakurai: "I'm sorry."
Comments from KAIRI Group
KAIRI: "REstart's first title defense as champions. We lost in the most frustrating way possible, but I think this loss is my responsibility as the leader. Everyone really did their best, and we wanted to end it with a win. Remember why the three of us decided on the name REstart, we will never give up no matter what happens, and this is not the end for REstart. Please, those in positions of authority, give REstart another chance. Let's start over again."

<Wonder Champion> |
| Nakano Tam | Shirakawa Mina | |

This will be the second Red and White double title match in Stardom history. The previous one took place on September 30, 2018 in Nagoya , with Kagetsu as Red and Momo Watanabe as White. That match ended in a 30 -minute draw, with both wrestlers retaining their titles. Furthermore, Mayu Iwatani is the only wrestler to hold both Red and White titles simultaneously, so there is much anticipation to see if a second double champion will be crowned. Moreover, this time the Red champion is Tam Nakano and the White champion is Mina Shirakawa. Nakano defeated Giulia to win the Red title for the first time. Shirakawa overcame the pain she suffered against Saya Kamitani and achieved her long-awaited victory. After successfully defending her title for the first time against Natsupoi, the new White champion, who left Cozuen and established Club Venus independently, proposed a double title match against Nakano. Does this mean that she will become Stardom's second double champion without ever allowing Nakano to defend the Red title? With various emotions intertwined in this double title match, will a winner be determined?

Nakano brings Shirakawa back into the ring. As Nakano tries to return, Shirakawa delivers a dropkick, slamming both his knees into the mat. Unable to bear it any longer, Nakano goes outside the ring. Shirakawa follows, slams him into the ring post, removes the mat outside the ring, and slams his knees into the mat. Shirakawa drags Nakano to the entrance ramp. However, Nakano delivers a back drop on the stage. Shirakawa runs down the ramp and delivers a dropkick. After an exchange of elbows, Nakano and Shirakawa return to the ring. Both men extend their legs and kick each other in the face. Nakano dodges Shirakawa's attempt at a figure-four leglock and delivers a spin kick and a German suplex. Shirakawa anticipates Nakano's Violet Shooting and attempts a figure-four leglock, but Nakano escapes. Shirakawa grabs Nakano's leg, but Nakano spins him around and takes him to the ground. Nakano gets into a Tiger Suplex stance, but Shirakawa resists and avoids it. Nakano delivers a heel drop and climbs to the corner. Shirakawa catches up and Nakano delivers a series of open-hand slaps. Shirakawa slaps back and delivers a top-rope avalanche implant DDT.10minutes have passed. Shirakawa attempts a Glamorous Driver, but Nakano counters. Shirakawa hits a rolling elbow and an implant DDT. Nakano kicks out, and Shirakawa lands a Glamorous Driver. However, Nakano manages to kick out. Shirakawa pulls the downed Nakano over and tries for another one. Nakano kicks out but is down. Shirakawa puts him on his shoulders and takes him to the center, spins him around and slams him down, then applies a figure-four leglock. Nakano escapes, and Shirakawa yells "It's over!" Nakano resists, and Shirakawa delivers a neckbreaker followed by a figure-four driver. Shirakawa punches Nakano as he kicks out. After kicking Shirakawa in the face and charging forward, Nakano delivered a thrust kick and a spin kick. Shirakawa attempted a back blow, but Nakano slammed him down with a bomb. Both men were down when they locked hands and exchanged elbows. Nakano hit a Tiger Suplex followed by a Violet Shooting, but Shirakawa kicked out at one count. However, he took a kick from below, followed by a Violet Screwdriver and a Twilight Dream. The referee then counted to three, and Nakano became the two-time champion.
Nakano: "Hello everyone in space, and everyone at Ota City General Gymnasium! Nakano Tam has become the second ever Red & White double champion! Shirakawa Mina, who has been chasing Nakano Tam, will never be able to surpass her. That's the reality! (Kneels beside Shirakawa) Mina, if you're okay with it, you can come back to Kozuen with Club Venus. However, you 'll become the fourth woman at Kozuen!"
Shirakawa: (Crying in frustration) It's hell again! I'm going straight to hell... because I've experienced the joy of holding the belt. Ahhh! I'm Shirakawa Mina. I'm not gonna die here! I'll definitely beat Nakano Tam next time! Come back to Kozuen? The fourth woman? Don't mess with me!
Shirakawa shoved Nakano, slammed the microphone down, and left the ring
Nakano: "Goodbye"
Shirakawa: "Goodbye."
After Shirakawa and Club Venus left the ring, MIRAI entered the ring
MIRAI: "Congratulations to Tam Nakano on becoming a two-time champion."
Nakano: "Thank you."
MIRAI: "I've won the Cinderella Tournament twice in a row. You understand why I, MIRAI, the real Cinderella covered in ash, have come here, right? Let me challenge for... that white belt."
Nakano: "Huh? Tam is a two-time champion, you know? Is white all you want? (The audience) is saying, 'Go for both!'"
MIRAI: "Well, well, well. If this were me before my injury, when I heard that Tam Nakano had become a two-time champion, I think I would have jumped out and told her to fight for both of those titles. But now I have my own reasons for wanting that white belt. And I'm not in a hurry like you guys. I'm still23, so I want to take each belt one by one and get it for sure. I'll put my heart and soul into challenging for that white belt that Tam Nakano holds."
Nakano: "Youth, huh? That's nice. Hmm, but you know, Tam has been through a lot of hardship in life to finally get here! MIRAI-chan is still just a baby! Let me show you the strength of someone who has overcome many setbacks."
MIRAI: "I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in Nakano Tam's life."
MIRAI leaves the field
Nakano: "Everyone! Thank you so much for shining with us for such a long time today! Is your butt split into four sections? Are you okay? It's youth. There's no talent that can replace youth, but in life, you can keep fulfilling your dreams endlessly until the day comes to an end! From now on, I will carry these two belts, which are filled with the souls of many people, and make Stardom history with all of you. So please continue to dream a lot with us! Hey, can we do that again today? Do you remember? When Tam says "Believe in," you say "Ta-mu," follow Tam's sparkling road into space! Believe in Tam!"
Shirakawa's comment
"It's so frustrating... I was the one who proposed the two-title match, and I know so many fans were cheering me on, and I had just won the white belt and had just grasped my hopes... It's painful. I'm so sorry. It's painful. I can't beat Nakano Tam! I couldn't win today either. All I feel is so sorry. To the fans, to Club Venus, I want to show everyone hope... I want to show you that if you work hard and climb your way up, you can become big and stand at the top. Aaaah... I'm so sorry. Please give me some time to think about what I should do next, what my future holds. I never thought I would lose. I was planning to challenge for the IWGP (Women's) title next. I haven't even had a match in the New Japan Pro-Wrestling ring, which I've always admired. I was planning to go and have a match. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry that this is the only way I can show you all. Please wait for a while."
Nakano's comment
"I'm ugly, right? Am I cute? I'm a little ugly, so don't film me... I've become the second person in history to win both the red and white belts, following Mayu Iwatani. Thank you, Mina Shirakawa. Goodbye. There's nothing more painful than taking away something precious from someone you care about, but this is how we draw the line. Mina, you should stop following in Tam Nakano's footsteps. Mina Shirakawa, you've come this far with the resolve to quit Cozuen, and you've become strong by winning the white belt, so now go your own way, Mina Shirakawa. And I'm sure Mina Shirakawa will crawl back up from hell again. We'll be waiting. The next challenger has also been decided. The white belt, two-time Cinderella champion, MIRAI. MIRAI, you know, even though you've won the Cinderella twice in a row, you haven't achieved the best results in history, history A truly rare wrestler. She's kind of a weirdo. But she's a weirdo who's beaten Giulia and Mayu Iwatani. She said she's only got the white belt because she's young, but life ends in the blink of an eye, so not having ambition is fatal for a pro wrestler. Look at Mina Shirakawa, she's walking ambition. ...Anyway. MIRAI, let's show her the fear and strength of Tam Nakano, who has been through the roughest of life. ...Isn't the air getting thin? This red belt, this white belt, I'm a double champion. Carrying the souls of so many wrestlers embodied in these two belts, I will now make Stardom history. Everyone, please believe in Tam Nakano and follow me. Thank you."
