◆World of Stardom Championship Match
Champion Saya Kamitani vs. Challenger Sayaka Kurei
Kurei: "I've finally gotten over it. I will break this curse and this cycle. I will take back everything that Kamitani Saya took from me. COSMIC ANGELS will not disappear. I will live up to the trust that you have in me. I love light blue. I want to wear light blue, wear a shining red belt, and become the blue sky. If you talk about your dreams, you'll be laughed at. If you speak up, if you try, you'll be ridiculed, criticized, and denied. 'You're on a different level,' 'You can't do it,' that's what they say from the start. I will put an end to that kind of world. Everyone can live proudly under the blue sky. I want to create a beautiful Stardom where people can shine just as they are, without fear of criticism or denial. That's why I will definitely wear the red belt. I will take back everything that Kamitani Saya took from me. It is no one else who will take from Kamitani Saya, it is Kurei Sayaka. There is a beginning and an end. I know that, and that's why I don't want to have a single regret when it's all over. That's why I will fight."
Kamiya: "This red belt is an irreplaceable and precious belt that has brought flowers to my life. In the past year and four months, I have fought against some incredibly strong opponents and, thankfully, have been given many opportunities to appear in the media. I also became the first ever Pro Wrestling Grand Prix MVP, and I can confidently say that I have accomplished something that no one else has ever achieved. Sayaka Kurei, if you become champion, won't it be a torrential downpour not just on the sky, but on Stardom as a whole? The burdens you carry, the thoughts you have, the things you do, the things you say, your status—everything is just too different. You say you'll take it back, but even if you win, the loser-retires match will never be erased from everyone's memory, and what I've done won't become yours. That's because I've fought tooth and nail with this red belt. Unfortunately, Cozuen will disband on April 26th at Yokohama Arena. With this red belt, there are still people I want to fight and things I want to do. I'm confident I can take you to the Tokyo Dome, which I've been talking about for so long. So I will definitely defend it. I'll show you a sight you've never seen before, and I'll give you the biggest nightmare in history."
◆IWGP Women's Championship Match
Champion Shuri vs. Challenger Megan Behn
IWGP Women's Champion Shuri's opponent for her third title defense has been decided: Megan Bahn, who is active in AEW in the United States. Only Shuri, dressed in a white dress, attended the press conference, while Bahn sent a video message
Megan: "The current champion wearing this belt is Syuri, who is widely considered the strongest in Stardom history. However, if I defeat her, a new standard will be established. I will proudly hold up the IWGP belt as proof that I am the strongest wrestler in the world."
Shuri: "I've always wanted to have a match against her for the IWGP title, so I'm thrilled to be able to face such a great opponent at Yokohama Arena. Megan has technique and power, and she's a wrestler who's been very successful overseas. I'm incredibly excited. I will definitely defend the title and raise the value of the IWGP title higher and higher."
Goddess of Stardom Championship Match
Champions: Tora Natsuko & Ruanka vs. Challengers: AZM & Amasaki Mitsuyoshi
AZM: "This is 02line's fourth attempt, and BMI has told us, 'If you lose this time, you're not qualified,' but honestly, after teaming up with Mitsuyoshi for five years, we haven't achieved any tangible results. I've even wondered if I'm good enough to be her tag team partner. When we first challenged FWC (Hazuki & Koguma), they told us, '02line should always team up,' and that gave me confidence. I believe we can grow both individually and as a tag team. I want to do my best for Mitsuyoshi, who has believed in me and followed me for five years, and I'm going to win the Goddess of the Ring, a title I've never won in my 12-year career."
Amasaki: "It's been five years since my debut. I want to achieve results both as Amasaki Mitsuyoshi and as a '02 liner. As Ruanka told me, I know I need to change. I'll show you a changed version of myself at Yokohama Arena on April 26th."
Tora: "AZM, why are you acting so gloomy on the mic? We're the ones saying we want to do it again. So be confident. It doesn't make sense to say you regained your confidence because Koguma and Hazuki told you to. I wasn't just making that up; I genuinely enjoyed doing it with 02. I realized that there aren't many tag teams in Stardom right now that are worth mentioning. Stardom has the weakest tag teams. We're way ahead of the pack. We're practically unrivaled. And we're the ones who acknowledge them! Why are you saying things like it's a funeral? You said the other one was going to change, right?"
Ruika: "You said that. I'm looking forward to seeing how Tensaki will change on the day."
◆Future of Stardom Championship Match
Champion Ranna Yagami vs Challenger Emma Namishima
Future Champion Ranna Yagami's third title defense against Emma Mashima, winner of "Rookie of Stardom 2026," has been officially confirmed
Ema Tanijima: "It's been almost 11 months since my debut. During that time, my contemporaries have challenged themselves in NEW BLOOD and FUTURE, and I've been frustrated to see them get ahead of me. But I couldn't say anything. But now, as the Rookie of the Year and with the most momentum, I want to win FUTURE and fulfill my dream. I want to show the best view at Yokohama Arena."
Yagami: "I'm happy to be able to have a title match again as champion at Yokohama Arena, where I stood last year as a challenger. I have an ambition I want to fulfill. Through this title match, I want to spread the word to the world that the current Stardom rookies and young wrestlers are amazing and incredible. I think Emma is the most energetic and confident rookie right now. But for the sake of my ambition, I want to accept all of Emma's confidence and momentum and defend my title."
