Rian● |
Rian and Fukigen desu★ faced off in a singles match. Some say Rian resembles the original Fukigen when he was a rookie. Perhaps they also share a similar skill in pinning. Rian countered Fukigen with her tricky pinning techniques
Fukigen slips through the lock-up and strikes a death pose in all four directions. Rian tries to interfere and get Fukigen to do some rope work, but Fukigen strikes a smoking pose. Rian then delivers a dropkick. Fukigen pinches Rian's nose and chops her down. She corners Rian and stomps on her face, striking a pose. She then applies a death lock while looking at a sports newspaper. Rian sends Fukigen flying with a dropkick, newspaper and all, and follows up with a series of elbows. Fukigen attempts a senton but only gets a two count. Rian rolls Fukigen up as she signals a brainbuster. Fukigen tries to roll her up again but manages to escape. Finally, Fukigen rolls her up for the three count

Hazuki pulled Iida up and dropped her vertically, and Koguma delivered a diving body press. At that moment, Hazuki went straight for Hanan with a tope to the outside. Iida couldn't kick out, and Koguma got the three count.
Koguma: "Wing☆Gori... My throat's sore... My throat's sore. My throat's sore, so Hazuki, please..."
Hazuki: "First of all,the secondtime! Wing☆gori, you guys are strong, as you've been teaming up for a long time, and you've definitely studied us well. However, we still want to be a formidable wall for tag teams in the world, not just Wing☆gori. We'll be waiting for you to challenge us again and again, so improve your tag team skills and come challenge us. Thank you for today (Wing☆gori bows). So, since we defended the title, who will be the next challenger...? Hey, hey? Since we defended the title, someone should come out. I mean, they should come out, normally. Backstage, Shuri and Konami were saying, 'Goddess, we want you!' What? Can't you say anything but backstage? Are you scared of us? I had this image that Shuri would be like, 'Thetwoofoneperson!', but I guess she's scared. Oh well. For the next title defense, it's Shuri and Konami, right?" Huh? No? No? Okay, okay. So, next week? Next week? Let's do it next week. That's right! I'll be defending my title at Korakuen Hall next week! Everyone, FWC will be putting on the best tag team match at Korakuen Hall, so please come and see it!
Hazuki & Koguma's comments
Hazuki: "Second successful defense! Your voice... you've been hit!" Koguma: "(His voice was hoarse and unintelligible)"
Hazuki: "But that means they really went all out. They pushed us harder than we expected, but there are still things we haven't shown them yet."
Little Bear: "(His voice was hoarse and inaudible)"
Hazuki: "We can't stop now! We'll be facing these two people at Korakuen Hall, who we can only talk about backstage, and we'll defend our titles. To set a record for most title defenses, we have to get much, much stronger. We're still developing. It was hot in Yoyogi today too!"
Koguma: "FWC!"
Hazuki: "Who are the best women?"
Hazuki & Koguma: "FWC!"
Comments from Hanan and Iida Saya
Iida: "As I thought...the wall is there...!"
Hanan: "There were several times when it seemed like we could have won, right?" Iida: "I think so."
Hanan: "Even so, I thought they were opponents we couldn't beat, and I'm glad that Iida-chan was my partner."
Iida: "There were many times when I almost died, but I had a reliable tag team partner in Hanan-san, and the support of the audience, so I was determined to win no matter what."
Hanan: "We didn't become the first tag team to win two titles in history, but we'll learn from FWC and grow, and we'll take them from FWC, so please wait for us!"
Iida: "Akari and Konami, Korakuen next week?"
Hanan: "That's just too crazy!"
Iida: "We need to learn from that aspect as well."
Hanan: "I will continue to grow with STARS! Thank you very much!"

Starlight Kid Comment
"Hey! Mei-chan, you're fast and strong! I was in danger for a second when you hit me with a dropkick to the face, but I knocked Seira Mei down! (Showing her arm) I came up with the same thing as Mei-chan without asking! Mei-chan, how was your first singles match against SLK? I had so much fun. I had so much fun that I threw her with a star suplex at the end. I think Mei-chan is one of those opponents I can do anything with, whether teaming up or fighting. Suzu was also at ringside today, though she wasn't my second. Hahaha."
Comment from Mei Hoshirai
"After being in Stardom for a year and a half, I finally got to have a singles match with Kid, which was something I'd always wanted to do. She was also my partner in my comeback match, so I'd like to continue working with her, both as a teammate and as a rival."

Mayu Iwatani & Momo Kogo (STARS) with Mayu Iwatani's comment
Iwatani: "Dirt in my pores... Dirt in my pores... I'm sensitive to it! Dirt in my pores!"
Mayu: "Zombie Mayu!"
Iwatani: "He really was a zombie (laughs). But he got beaten up pretty badly in his first ring appearance!"
Mayu: "It was my first time as a second, and I even got to make a little surprise intrusion...! I've been a runaway wrestler, and I've come to love women's pro wrestling and Stardom, so I was so happy to be able to participate in such an honorable tag team match. I'm grateful to everyone who has been involved with me as a runaway wrestler!"
Kogo: "I never thought we'd be able to have a ring match like this with the runaway wrestler members, so I think some of you had a tough time, but it was incredibly fun!"
Iwatani: "Seriously, seriously, when it was decided that it would be made into a movie, I had a lot of anxieties, but I'm so glad that Anna Hirai was cast as the lead role of Mayu Iwatani. Thank you so much for loving pro wrestling and Stardom, and for putting your heart and soul into this runaway wrestler story!"
Mayu: "I'm about to cry...!"
Iwatani: "Thank you to everyone who watched! I might be making my official debut!? My eyes hurt and I'm worried about my pores, so I'm going to go wash my face!"
Mayu: "Let's wash it right away (wry smile)."
Iwatani "Ragetsu~"!!」
God's Eye comment
Shuri: "Presented by the runaway wrestlers. I'm so, so happy that we were able to have this match. The movie has been released without any problems, and I think a lot of people have been able to see it. I would like even more people to see it, but I really think it's a really wonderful movie. I'm so, so happy that the movie has been released. Anna was in my corner, and I was seriously like, 'Wait, which one is Iwatani Mayu!?' I was right, wasn't I? It was okay, right?"
Sorei: "Uh, hmm...? Was that right? Probably! Today I also entered the ring as part of the Tawashi-zu, carrying a tawashi (scrubbing brush), and it was so, so much fun. After Yoyogi, my next goal is 5★STAR. Before our match today, the opponents for the first round of 5★STAR were announced, and my opponent is none other than Saya Kamitani! Last year, Saya Kamitani was absent in the inaugural year, so even though we were in the same block, we didn't get to fight. I'm really, really looking forward to it. Right now, there's still some uncertainty about what will happen with QQ, but I think it will all be settled by then. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of Saya Kamitani I'll face!"
Shuri: "I'm a Goddess, and since Hazuki & Koguma won the first match, FWC asked me to be a Goddess. Well, I was also thinking that I'd like to challenge whoever won, so thank you. I think they said the next event will be at Korakuen Hall, so Shuri & Konami will definitely wear the Goddess belts. Look forward to it!"

*The four members other than Saya Kamitani have been expelled from Queen's Quest
Queen's Quest and Oedo Tai face off in a 5-on-5 elimination match to determine their final fate. Queen's Quest is represented by Saya Kamitani, AZM, Lady C, Mitsuyoshi Amasaki, and Hinami, while Oedo Tai is represented by Natsuko Tora, Momo Watanabe, Thekla, Ruanka, and Rina in a10-person tag team match. This match marks Ruanka's return to the ring. Originally, the loser of the match was supposed to be forced to leave the unit, but at a press conference, Natsuko forged the agreement, resulting in the other four members leaving the unit. This means that the losing unit will effectively be disbanded. The battle between the two teams has become increasingly complicated, sparked by Kamitani's attempt to recruit Momo.

Crazy Star appears
Suzuki: "That sounds like an interesting conversation! We'd love to join in. Mei-chan, of course, but also Kid, AZM, and Mitsuyoshi. If we all teamed up as contemporaries, wouldn't the pro wrestling world explode even more?"
Seira: "Yes. I just had a match with Kid, and I thought that I'd like to do it with Mei too. AZM, Mitsuyoshi, let's do it together."
Kid: "This is the answer I've come up with!"
AZM: "Thank you everyone...(tears). I'm happy, but right now I'm not in the mood for that. So I'm sorry for now."

Oedo Team Comments
Ryuka: "Hey, QQ! It's finally, finally, finally over! To be precise, only Kamiya Saya remains. It's practically a disbandment, what can she do all by herself? And it's not just QQ. This is just the beginning. I'm going to destroy them one by one." Momo: "Kamiya, QQ all by yourself? Do your best, I'm rooting for you."
Comments from Crazy Star & Kid
Kid: "The answer I came up with is that what I want to do now is to form a new unit with people of the same generation. Suzu, Mei, thank you so much. (Suzuki) is absent though."
Suzuki: "I'm absent from the competition, but when I saw their faces today, I just couldn't stand it anymore. But even though you're all super fired up, I still don't acknowledge you (Kid). You can get more fired up after you've beaten Suzuki Suzu properly."
Kid: "We can do it whether we team up or fight against each other."
Seira: "It's peace, peace. Well, I was so happy when Kid asked me to do it with her. Plus, it's my first unit since coming to Stardom, so if it can be done with those members, it'll be the best. So I'll believe and wait. Let's believe and wait."
Kid: "Okay, okay. But I think it's perfectly natural that AZM and Mitsuyoshi can't give an answer right away. I totally understand how they feel. But I'm the same generation as them, and I want to continue working with AZM and Mitsuyoshi, and I think they're absolutely essential. So I'll believe in them and wait. That's all I can say for now. For the time being, this is my answer."
Suzuki: "That's all!"
Former QQ comment
AZM: "It's a different kind of despair than when I was betrayed by Watanabe Momo before, and I was determined to protect QQ today, but I'm sorry everyone."
The lady burst into tears
AZM: "After today's show, God's Eye, Kid, and Crazy Star came to help me out, and I love QQ, but I can't just decide on a unit for Kamiya, who I left alone. I need a little more time."
Lady: "I was the first to lose today, and I realized there are so many things I'm lacking, and I need to find my own style of wrestling more and more. But I can't decide on that path right now. But I was really happy to be invited."
Hinami: "Well, I'm sad that we lost, but I have a goal now so I can't dwell on it. I've also been approached by other units, so I want to think positively."
Amasaki: "I really, really love QQ. I've been QQ ever since my debut, and I thought I would always be QQ. It's really painful that I can no longer be the QQ I love so much, but I don't want to give up on QQ, and I can't give up yet. I will improve myself and believe in myself."

That's why I'm telling youagain. Don't make me say this. You know that, right? If you're so frustrated that you can't say anything, then hurry up and come and challenge me! If Anno won't challenge me, then anyone will do. Natsupoi? She might not be all talk, but she's not you yet. I want to have a head-on battle with Anno Saori. This isn't enough, Anno Saori. It's not enough for me!" I've been getting some pretty crazy love calls from you, but I've been thinking about your face every single day and preparing myself. I'll stick with you all the way until you reach your goal. I'll be watching you closely until you can say something properly with your own mouth. Bring it on. That's all!

Thanks for coming to the JTO Korakuen Hall event the other day despite your busy schedule. You said it then, didn't you !? You said you wanted to fight me for that red belt at my 5th anniversary Korakuen Hall event on July 15th , right?"

Natsuko: "Okay, okay, just get along well. It doesn't really matter which one it is, we're doing it in Sapporo. I'm looking forward to whichever one it is."
Inaba: "Maika, the World of Stardom Champion, the top belt of Stardom, the number one organization in women's professional wrestling. I'm going to take everything from you! I'm not that crybaby Tomoka anymore!"
Maika extended her hand and shook hands with Tomoka
Maika: "Ugh, that interruption messed up the tempo. Oh well. Gina! You are very strong. And I respect you. Thank you for fighting."
Gina also expressed her respect for Maika and declared that they would continue to be in the same unit. They then shook hands and hugged. The audience chanted Gina's name
Maika: "I was worried about what would happen, Gina... But thank you for deciding to stay with E nexus V. I've been through a lot too. I know how important it is to lose a friend...Friends are really important...And it's not just Gina! Shirakawa, Tsukiyama, HANAKO, all of you get in the ring! Ah, I'm sorry that I've caused so much anxiety to these members as well. But I think this has only deepened the bond of E nexus V. Beyond imagination, to the world. E nexus V is here!"
Maika's comment
"What is this feeling? It's a feeling I've never experienced before. Maybe I'm splitting in two. I really didn't understand what Gina was thinking, and maybe we weren't communicating at all, but after going at it one-on-one with Gina today, I somehow—no, not just somehow—I really started to understand what Gina was thinking. I'm so glad I was able to fight with her today. And also, Tomoka. It's not that I forgot about you, but I'm sorry. When you come at me like that, I tend to get angry and make decisions impulsively, but thank you for stopping me. That's what I mean by teammate." "The old her probably wouldn't have come, she was the type to keep her distance and watch from the sidelines, but she's changed now, hasn't she? I know that perfectly well, so on July15th, I'll be returning to JTO as the champion of this top-tier Stardom, so everyone at JTO, look forward to my return. And above all, I'm going to crush you (Natsuko) after that. It seems like you've been causing trouble in various ways, but I'm going to completely crush you. It's not like I haven't been watching you. Your methods, your way of doing things, don't suit me, so I'm going to crush you fair and square."
Gina's comment
"About a year ago, when I came to Japan and left Stardom for a while, my opponent was Shuri. Then, when I returned to Stardom, the one wearing the red belt was Maika, a member of the same unit. I respect Maika. I respect her from the bottom of my heart. We will continue to work together as a team. We will also fight individually. And now E neXus V has become my home. I want to seize another chance to challenge myself."
