Press conference report
At the beginning of the press conference, President Taro Okada explained the "Rookie of Stardom" tournament, which will determine the strongest rookie. It was originally scheduled to be held in January or February, but it has been postponed because Emma Mashima and Matoi Hamabe suffered injuries and had to withdraw during the New Year period. The president promised, "We will make an announcement once we have seen how the two of them are doing."
◆Special Singles Match:
Maki Ito vs. Aya Sakura
"The world's cutest" Maki Ito will clash with Sakura Aya in a singles match. This will be Ito's first singles match since joining the company at Korakuen Hall on January 10th. Sakura is her nemesis, having pinned Ito in a tag team match at Korakuen Hall on January 11th, ruining her Stardom debut.
Ito appears with a belt she made herself over two hours, calling it "the cutest of the cutest," while Sakura appears in an all-white outfit and carrying a pure white parasol, seemingly to counter her. It seems they are both burning with a competitive spirit over their cuteness...
Sakura boasts, "There's only one reason why I want this belt. Because I'm the strongest and cutest in Stardom!" and then glances at Ito.
Then, with great confidence, she declared, "When I become champion, Maki Ito! Never again dare to claim to be the 'cutest in the world' in this Stardom ring! And if Maki Ito fails to produce results, she will be fired from Stardom. I will take this belt and the title of 'cutest in the world'!"
Ito, who had been quietly listening to Sakura's comments, was not about to be outdone. Proud of herself as the first ever "Cutest of Cute" champion, she retorted, "If Ito loses, she'll be fired from Stardom? Don't be ridiculous! Ito has only been here for half a month, and hasn't even made any friends yet. That absolutely cannot happen. Ito will definitely earn money here, make friends, and definitely continue to defend the title."
Then, as if suddenly deciding, she added, "If Ito wins, she'll have to do whatever I say. If Ito loses
らスターダムも退団して、『世界一かわいい』を名乗ることもやめようと思います。まあ伊藤が勝つんでいいですけど」。〝かわいい対決〟の行方は果たして――。
◆Unit vs. Unit Battle
E nexus V vs Mi Vida Loca
The feud between the two units began at the Ryogoku tournament on December 29th last year. Maika of E nexus V faced Suzuki Suzu of Mi Vida Loca in an eight-person tag team match. Maika and Suzuki were both counted out, and the rivalry has continued ever since.
President Okada announced that the rules for the Osaka showdown, which will settle the grudge, will be a "elimination team competition." Five members of E nexus V and four members of Mi Vida Loca (due to Bozilla's injury) will clash in an elimination tournament, with the unit that defeats the opposing team's leader winning.
At the press conference, Suzuki read a message from Bozilla saying, "I was really looking forward to the unit competition. I'm really sad that I got injured, but I'll work hard to recover so I can come back, so please wait for me." Suzuki then stated firmly, "We will carry Bozilla's feelings with us. We will do our best in this competition as a group of five."
"I think we need to create a place where Bozilla can come back to, a place where she can return with peace of mind. I didn't really get the feeling that they had much teamwork, so I think we'll win easily," she said with a confident expression.
On the other hand, Maika, who has recently been experiencing some discord within the unit, emphasized, "This is the first time we've had a fight like this, and somehow our bond has deepened even more." "We've cried together, and I think we're a unit that will continue to build strong bonds. Right now, I think we're the best and strongest, and I'm sure they think so too. We really can't afford to lose. I believe in them, and I believe she believes in me," she said, brimming with confidence.
◆Wonder of Stardom Championship
: Champion Konami vs. Challenger Sorei Ami
Ami Sorei is challenging Konami, the Wonder Champion. After the champion successfully defended her title for the second time by defeating Rina, a fellow HATE member, at Korakuen Hall on January 21, Sorei appeared before her.
At the press conference that day, Sorei began by saying, "I've been fighting Konami recently, and it's made me think... I feel like she's not acting like herself." She explained that whenever they faced each other in the ring, Konami would spray her with spray, but in the preliminary match, she didn't even show any sign of using the spray. She
then declared war, saying, "What I'm trying to say is, up until now, Konami has won her white belt defenses without using the spray. But I'm not going to tell Konami of HATE to fight fair and square now. I don't mind if she uses fouls, sprays, or anything else she can think of."
In response, Konami, who had been listening to the challenger's declaration of intent with a smirk, said, "Iida (Saya) studied how to avoid my spray (in the V1 match), but have you studied anything special? I'm looking forward to it." She
continued, "Well, either way, God's Eye, you guys have been in that unit for so long, what have you accomplished? Nobody in God's Eye stands out except for Shuri, nobody has done anything significant, right? You're a part of that too. That's the difference between you and me," she said sharply, and then added, "The day you wear this belt is still a long way off. On the contrary, as long as you're in God's Eye, you'll never be able to break out of your own shell." She spoke defiantly and gave Konami a magnificent, sharp glance.
◆World of Stardom Championship
: Champion Saya Kamitani vs. Challenger Starlight Kid
Can anyone stop the flawless "Saya-sama"? World Champion Saya Kamitani will be challenged by Starlight Kid.
Kid challenged
. At the press conference, Byakko casually grabbed the microphone and began a grand speech. "Kamitani has made me feel an overwhelming amount of jealousy and frustration," she confessed, revealing that she has always been conscious of her opponent since her first defeat in 2020. On the other hand, she said that Kamitani's presence has also been a driving force for her.
Her signature move, "Black Tiger Kick Kill" (also known as "Don't Get Ahead, Kamitani"), was developed for the title match against then-Wonder Champion Kamitani in July 2022. This shows just how determined she has been to defeat Kamitani.
Finally, Kid declared her strong resolve, saying, "To defeat Saya Kamitani, who has achieved so much, means not only becoming the face of women's professional wrestling, but the face of professional wrestling in general. I will bear a lot of responsibility. I am taking on this challenge with that resolve in mind."
On the other hand, Saya, who had been listening to the challenger's comments with a bored expression, immediately said, "You know, you're still talking too much. And you're so nitpicky. I thought I was going to get calluses on my ears." She continued, "I've always felt a kind of jealousy from Kid ever since I was a rookie. I mean, she's always so noisy and annoying. She's always nagging and clinging to me. To put it simply, I've always thought she was an annoying senior."
It was clear from her expression behind her mask that the challenger was trembling with anger after hearing all this. As if mocking Kid, Kamiya said, "Do you want to know the meaning of Star Crusher? I've always said it means destroying star wrestlers, but actually it has another meaning. Starlight Kid, I originally created this move to destroy you. To shut you up because you're so talkative, long-winded, and nitpicky. On February 7th in Osaka, I'll sink you into this glittering Stardom ring!" She ended the press conference in full "Saya-sama world" mode until the very end.
Below are the cards that have already been announced.
