Iwata: "Hello Stardom fans, it's been a while. And nice to meet you, I'm Iwata Mika from Sendai Girls' Pro Wrestling. Hey Anno Saori, you keep bothering me every day, telling me to come to Kyoto, or to Osaka. How much do you want to see me? Well, you said you were doing a show in Sendai today, and the rain has stopped, so Iwata came."
Iwata entered the ring.
Anno: "You finally came. But I knew you'd come. Hey Iwata. I think most people don't know about our relationship. Shouldn't we settle this soon? With this Wonder belt on the line. What do you say? Are you going to pass?"
Iwata: "There's no reason not to do it. I'll challenge you fairly and squarely for that belt you hold, Anno."
Anno: "Well, I know Yoyogi is free on June 22nd, so let's do it there."
Iwata: "I'll do it anytime. Congratulations on your 9th anniversary, Anno Saori. I'm looking forward to it."
Iwata leaves the ring.
Anno: "I know everyone is after this Wonder of Stardom belt. I want to live up to those expectations. But for now, I want to be allowed to have my own personal wish granted. On June 22nd, I will defend this Wonder of Stardom belt against Mika Iwata of Sendai Girls Pro Wrestling. After that, I will defeat each of the opponents who have been watching me (Hazuki, Hanan, Natsupoi) one by one. So, thank you for today. I am the Wonder of Stardom Champion, Anno Saori of Stardom!"
As Anno's theme music plays, Natsupoi removes her makeup.
Natsupoi: "Hold on, hold on, the music, the music. I was the one who won the main event. It's always different, isn't it? The winner's song is played. I understand that it's tempting to play a song, but please play Poi's song. Saori! I'll say it again and again. The one who will take that belt from you is Natsupoi... Natsupoi. So, since Natsupoi won the main event today, I'll be closing out the show! Today, Poi and Saori are celebrating their 9th anniversary! We'll continue to run full speed ahead into our 10th year, so please stick with us! Thank you to everyone who came to Sendai today. Bye everyone!"
COSMIC ANGELS comment
Nakano: "(As a prize for winning) I received Sendai beef."
Anno: "Iwata Mika, you finally came. I believed that Iwata, with her courage, would come. I think there are many people who don't know about our relationship, but we've never settled anything. It's about time we settled it, with this belt on the line. I'm Anno Saori, and I'm the one who can do it."
Natsupoi: "Whether you have courage or not, this is Sendai, so it was probably the easiest place for you to come. Well, I understand that there are a lot of people aiming for that belt. I think that's Saori's charm. But that has nothing to do with Poi! No matter who comes, Poi will take that belt from Saori! This is decided! Poi decided it! I will definitely make it happen. Sendai residents, bye-poi. Delicious."
Nakano: "What's bye-poi? Saori-chan, Nacchan, congratulations on your 9th anniversary.
Thank you, poi."
Nakano: "What's thank you, poi?"
STARS Comments
Hana: "I was pinned, but I know that Anno Saori's white belt is super popular, but I'm going to take the white belt from Anno Saori, so I just want everyone to understand that." Hazuki: "There are a lot
of STARS members who are after the white belt, but my love for the white belt is greater than anyone else's. And whether Anno has it or Iwata Mika? takes the belt, it doesn't matter. We're just going to take it from whoever has it."
Iwatani: "Well, everyone's talking about the white belt, but don't forget about the IWGP (women's). Next up, Fujimoto Tsukasa? There are still many unknowns, like whether it will be held or not, where it will take place, or if it will be held here, but one thing I can say for sure is that next year at this time, Iwatani Mayu will still be the IWGP Champion. That much will not change. No matter who becomes the White Champion, Iwatani Mayu will be the IWGP Champion. I will accept any challenge. Everyone, come and challenge for the IWGP. Well, this might become a target someday. Maybe we'll compete for the White Belt, one of us will take it first, and the other will become the challenger, or maybe Iida or Komomo will step up. We'll all work together to make the STARS a unified Champion. Well, let's wrap this up. Believe in the present and shine tomorrow, We are STARS!
