Suzuki: "What do you mean?"
Iwatani: "I don't know, I don't know, but I'm certain I won today. I won and gained 2 points, that's Iwatani Mayu's ability. If you have something to say, go ahead. I'm tired..."
Suzuki: "I can't understand what you're saying. Speak properly and organize your thoughts. This is bad. Three losses is bad. If we lose one more, we won't be able to win the championship."
Iwatani: "Everyone knows that."
Suzuki: "You idiot! Go home!"
Iwatani: "I'm the one who won."
Suzuki: "But you know, being on the brink of disaster is what really gets me fired up. I'm going to win all the remaining 5★STAR matches, become the champion, and become the face of the pro wrestling world. Hey, Icon, you better be prepared."
Iwatani: "Even Mayu or an idiot can understand this, let me tell you one thing, Suzu Suzuki. She was saying something about being some kind of icon, but she clearly acknowledges Mayu as an icon. I'll be watching your growth from high up, like up in the mountains, so let's meet again in a singles match. Go home. Mayu won, so she didn't lose. Anyway, since STARS won the main event today, can we wrap things up with STARS? Thank you so much to everyone who came to see us at the Kyoto show. It's thanks to all of you that Stardom is able to thrive, so we'll be back in Kyoto soon, and we hope you'll come see Stardom again. Why aren't you going up?" Ah, I'm closing things out by myself today. It's a singles festival after all. Right now, I'm fighting in a singles match, so I can't close things out with all the STARS members, but if I win the tournament, I'd like to come back to Kyoto again and close things out with everyone as We Are STARS, so please come to Stardom many, many times until then. Thank you all for today. Thank you for watching until this late hour. Believe in the present and shine tomorrow, We are STARS!
Iwatani's comment
"Did I say good evening to everyone today? It was the second match of the 5★STAR GP, and my opponent was Suzuki Suzu, and I won without incident. Well, last year at 5★STAR I also got the three count against her, but she's really strong. She has determination. But I'm not ready to hand over the top of Stardom to a wrestler who came in so late, so today I just wanted to show her that I'm still the icon of Stardom. I've only had two matches in 5★STAR so far, and a tough summer has just begun, so10thappearance in 10 consecutive years. It will be Iwatani Mayu who survives this grueling league battle and wears that crown and cape again. A victory after 5 years?" I can't even remember how many years it's been, but I'm back wearing the crown and cape, and Iwatani Mayu, the icon, will be leading the pack. I just want to show everyone what I look like. Today, Suzuki was pretty strong. She was strong, but she still can't beat the icon. Summer has just begun, so let's fight hard through this hot summer."
