A battle royale where all players wear dress shirts and enter with timed entry
If both feet touch the outside of the ring, the wrestler will be punished with water guns by the Soaked Machine Guns. This is a time-delayed battle royale using Pro Wrestling Wave's original rules for the Y-Shirt Match. In addition to the usual pro wrestling rules, wrestlers are also disqualified if their Y-Shirt comes off
Wave's Soaked Machineguns were the first to enter and waited ringside. The match started with Shirakawa Mina and Tsukiyama Waka. Shirakawa dodged the lock-up and struck a sexy pose. She dodged Tsukiyama's dropkick and delivered a neckbreaker drop. The third opponent was SAKI. Shirakawa and Tsukiyama greeted her with "Long time no see!" and attacked her. After a double dropkick from behind, Shirakawa betrayed Tsukiyama and rolled her up. The fourth opponent was Ram Kaichou. Shirakawa called for a team-up, saying "A new one has arrived," and tried to take down the Kaichou. The fifth opponent was Iida. Iida overwhelmed her with a series of reverse chops. The sixth opponent was Chanyota. Iida and Chanyota stared each other down before bumping their chests together. The seventh opponent was Sakurai Mai. Sakurai scattered Lady Money in the ring.

The ninth to appear is ZONES, who deliver lariats one after another. Iida shows off his gorilla pose to ZONES. YAKO appears as a surprise wrestler. "Hey, hey, what are you doing? Are you still doing stupid things like a dress shirt match? Come at me, you guys. I'm not backing down," she appeals. The wrestlers who are knocked down get drenched in water guns. Then Natsu appears. "Don't mess with me. What are you doing ruining the dress shirt match? It's your10thanniversary since your debut? There's no place for you anywhere!" she attacks. Natsu is also knocked down and drenched in water. Then Sakurai says, "Hold on a second, are you poorly raised? If you look closely, you look just like Elizabeth, the bulldog I have at home." An enraged YAKO attacks Sakurai. The wrestlers return to the ring and launch a series of impalement attacks on YAKO. YAKO is the first to be disqualified. Chanyota is the second to be disqualified. Sakurai is pinned down by a large group and disqualified. Music starts at Iida's command, and Iida and ZONES show off their muscles. Both are disqualified for taking off their shirts. Shirakawa hits SAKI with a rolling elbow. He tries to go for a DDT, but SAKI resists. Shirakawa lands a series of strikes, but SAKI sends him to the apron. The two get tangled on the apron, and ChiChi and Tsukiyama throw them both out of the ring. While the two are getting soaked in water, ChiChi and Tsukiyama exchange elbows. When the two return and run into each other, Ram Kaichou hits with ectoplasm, and SAKI and Shirakawa are pinned down and disqualified. Three remain. Kaichou and Tsukiyama work together, but Kaichou betrays him, and Tsukiyama rolls up his opponents repeatedly. ChiChi intervened and restrained the chairman, then used that momentum to rip off Tsukiyama's shirt. ChiChi was declared the winner, and Natsu presented her with a commemorative tiara.
Natsu: "ChiChi, is this perhaps your first win? No way. Your first win since your debut is this? Congratulations!"
ChiChi: "I won for the first time! I'm the most surprised of all. It's been about six months since my debut, but I think today is the day that will significantly change the direction of my career. I'm a little nervous, but I'll do my best in pro wrestling as an Evolution woman, and I also have my own show coming up, so please come if you can. Thank you all for today."

Natsu: "Thank you for the match... It's difficult for me to project my voice from my diaphragm right now... Thank you. Excuse me for a moment, but I don't think I'll be able to wrap up the tournament right now, so, um, Akai Saki will be retiring next month. There may be some people here today who are seeing Akai-san's match for the last time, so while I'm taking a break, could you please give a message to the audience from Akai-san?"
Akai: " Thank you all so much for taking the time out of your busy schedules to come to Natsu Sumire's 10th Anniversary show today. Thank you. This year marks my 10th anniversary, and for all of us, and there are so many things I want to say. But for now, let me just say this: Natsu Sumire, thank you so much for being a professional wrestler in the same era as us. It's an honor to be a professional wrestler in the same era as you. Congratulations once again today!"
Natsu: "Thank you so much for becoming a professional wrestler in the same era as me. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to have met you sooner. I think we could have done so many more things together. I will never forget the warmth of your touch between my legs! Please take care and do your best until the very end. Thank you!" Once again, thank you all for coming today. Referee, come up too. And YAKO, you can come up too, if you're here. If not, that's fine. Come on up, come on up. So, the eight of us who are in the ring right now were all born into the world of professional wrestling in the same year, 2013. That's right, he's actually from the same generation, we all took the same audition. I think each of the eight of us has had our own unique 10 years over the past 10 years . Speaking for myself, I debuted with a promotion, then left the promotion and worked as a freelancer, took a break from wrestling to run a bar, and then came back. I never imagined 10 years ago that I would be doing professional wrestling in this way now. Because, as those of you who have known me for a long time may know, when I first debuted, I said I would definitely quit the world of professional wrestling in 10 years. I think I was probably boasting quite a bit. There are various reasons for that, but anyway, I was determined to leave the world of professional wrestling in 10 years, Now, 10 years later, I feel like I can't leave at all. I 've reached this 10- year milestone, and I'd like to say this in a formal setting, as I don't have many other opportunities to say this: the reason I've been able to celebrate this 10th anniversary in this way is, first and foremost, thanks to Pro Wrestling Wave, and GAMI-san, and everyone else, wherever you are, for bringing me into the world of professional wrestling and allowing me to debut as a professional wrestler . There was a gap in between, but even so, I was truly happy to be able to reconnect with Pro Wrestling Wave at this milestone of 10 years. Once again, thank you so much to wave and GAMI for giving me the opportunity to become a professional wrestler. I wouldn't be able to be here today without Stardom. As soon as I became a free agent, they picked up a woman who was nobody to them and told me I could do whatever I wanted, giving me an environment where I could always be free. I was able to find my place in the world of professional wrestling as Natsu Sumire thanks to Stardom. Now I have left Stardom and am working as an individual. I still think that the women's professional wrestling industry has become so exciting because of Stardom, but still! Let me say this. Women's pro wrestling isn't just Stardom, hey! I'm incredibly happy to see the Stardom wrestlers succeed and grow bigger. It makes me so happy to see my friends, who I used to wrestle with in tiny shacks in Shin-Kiba, succeeding, but it's frustrating to just watch them succeed with my fingers in my throat. I think I'm not the only one who feels this way, and all the other wrestlers feel the same. We'll do our best to avoid being swallowed up by the rough waters of the women's pro wrestling world, so I hope Stardom will continue to grow bigger and bigger. And if, by any chance, I ever get swallowed up by the rough waters and almost drown, I hope you'll reach out to me again like this, and not just reach out, but put me on a luxury cruise, pull me to shore, and take me to the top of the mountain, Stardom, please! I wouldn't be where I am without Stardom. Thank you so much for today. "We believe that it is because of all of you who have gathered here in the venue and watched over our activities that we are able to continue to live in the world of professional wrestling. So, to all the fans who have watched over us for the past 10 years, and to all of you who will continue to watch over our activities in the future, we hope that you will continue to support us. We, who debuted in 2013, will take the lead in further enlivening the women's professional wrestling industry, and we hope that watching us will give you energy, so please continue to support us. Thank you for coming to Natsumi's 10th Anniversary, Decade of Queens, today!"
Summer Troupe's Comments
Summer: "Thank you very much."
Yamashita: "Let me speak first. Like Natsu Sumire and everyone else, I also celebrated my 10th anniversary in 2013 , but I have absolutely no plans to hold my own commemorative show. And, I think this is the first and last time that Natsu Sumire will be gathered together like this, not just by myself, but with so many members. Akai Saki will also be retiring in November . I think that the 10 years that Natsu has built up, filled with both fun and hardships, are all condensed into this ring. I can truly say with pride that I am so glad that I have had such amazing contemporaries and have continued until today. Thank you."
Kobayashi: "Congratulations to Natsu on her 10th anniversary. And congratulations to us as well. Just as Natsu said in the ring, I think the 2013 debut group has to take the lead in driving pro wrestling forward from now on. The 2013 group is incredibly strong, and almost none of them have quit."
Natsu: "That's actually quite rare."
Kobayashi: "None of them are gone. My contemporaries and rivals are still here, and we've come this far by going through all sorts of rough waters, so let's keep working hard from now on. Thank you for your support."
Natsu: "Personally, I was happy to be able to team up with these two again after so long. I spent those early days as a young wrestler with these two, a time when everyone goes through hardships. I have many contemporaries, but I have the most memories with these two, and I think it's wonderful that we've been able to reach 10 years together without a single person dropping out. It's actually a miracle that we were able to reach this day, because Akai-san will be retiring next month, and Yamashita and Taku-chan have just returned from America. And Kaho-chan will be out for a while due to various circumstances, so I hope you can understand. It's not like she's pregnant or anything like that, but she'll be out for a while. And just before this, AZM-chan was also absent for treatment, not due to injury, so it's really possible that we wouldn't have been able to reach this day." In the midst of this crisis, October 18th was truly a day where a miracle fell perfectly into place, and I think we were able to offer something that could only be seen on that day. As I said in the ring earlier, I know it's strange to say this at a Stardom-sponsored event, but women's professional wrestling isn't just about Stardom. That's our slogan, and having said that, I think it's because Stardom is leading the industry that the professional wrestling world can continue to gain new power, so instead of fighting each other down, if the women's professional wrestling world can work together effectively, as I did this time, and everyone works for the benefit of everyone else, I think the women's professional wrestling world can go much further into the wider world, and I would be happiest if I could somehow be a catalyst for that."
—Are you the type who strongly desires to be the main character in the summer?
Natsu: "Hmm, that's difficult. Well, as someone who's in the spotlight, I naturally want to stand out more than anyone else. But, I think that each person has their own unique strengths, so I try to make the most of what I can do, and within my role, I try to cleverly take the best parts. I think that's my style, and I11th,12thyear, or even in the future."
—Finally, you were up against Iroha. I imagine you faced your toughest opponent
Natsu: "I wonder how many people think that Takumi and I are contemporaries? That's how formidable a rival she is. She's really amazing, seriously. Even when we were young, Takumi was always one or two steps ahead of me, and when I faced her again today after a long time, I was reminded of how cool she is, and I have nothing but respect for her. I think I'll ask her to teach me some pro wrestling next time. I'll become her apprentice. But Chiba is a bit far, so I'd like her to teach me in Shinjuku."
-- You previously said you would retire in 10 years. Even after your comeback, you said you would retire once you accomplished something, or if you went overseas. Now that you've finished your 10th anniversary match, is the word retirement no longer on your mind?
Natsu: "I didn't have any particular feelings about it, but of course, among my close colleagues, some have retired, and there are quite a few people who, when you think about it, you realize that person is gone.2023, I did think to myself, 'Am I that old now?'"
Comments from the Iroha Group
Akai: "I'm retiring from professional wrestling next month, and honestly, as I've said in previous press conferences, I have no regrets about retiring. But today, being able to interact with such wonderful contemporaries, I wish I had interacted with them sooner. I haven't really interacted with Natsu much in the last10years, and I wondered why I hadn't interacted with such a unique and quirky wrestler until now. I think Natsu's wonderful thoughtfulness and character really shone through in today's show, so I think everyone enjoyed it."
Iroha: " It's our 10th anniversary, but I was injured when it was my 10th anniversary so I couldn't have a commemorative tournament. But my contemporaries have done it for me and invited me to participate, and after doing this for 10 years, I really think that everyone's individual skills, skills that don't overlap, are really intense. Akai-san says she's retiring next month, but I think she'll keep going strong, so please invite us to the 15th anniversary with this group again. Let's do it."
AZM: "Just as I said, everyone has a different personality, and they're all so unique that I almost burst out laughing in the ring. They're really just so different. I also debuted in 2013 and I'm categorized as a kid fighter, so I was really happy to be welcomed as a contemporary like this. "
Iroha: "Actually, it was my senior who joined."
AZM: "That's right, exactly. I joined early, but we debuted at roughly the same time, and I really thought I wouldn't have any opportunities to work with Akai-san, so I was really happy and had a great time when Natsu-san created this for us. I hope to work with you again in five years."
Iroha: "Retirement, you know, in the world of pro wrestling, retirement is a different story (laughs)."
