Artist of Stardom champion Ami Sorei has challenged Emma Mashima, who is rumored to be joining NEO GENESIS, for the title
At "STARDOM in KOBE 2026 May." held on Saturday, May 30th at the Kobe Sanbo Hall 2F Grand Exhibition Hall, the new Artist Champions, Sorei, Hinan, and Lady C, faced Starlight Kid, AZM, and Mashima. This was the first match for the champions, God's Eye, since winning the title at Korakuen Hall on May 26th
The match saw God's Eye gain the upper hand through their excellent teamwork. After landing a triple dropkick on Mashima, who was teamed with NEO GENESIS, Lady spun him around in a giant swing 10 times
Sorei withstood five consecutive dropkicks from Mashima head-on and retaliated with an Argentine backbreaker. After enduring the enemy's fierce onslaught, God's Eye unleashed their combined move, the Flapjack Neckbreaker. Finally, Sorei defeated Mashima with a Blue Thunder Bomb
After the match, Sorei grabbed the microphone and announced to the Kansai fans, "I am the new Artist Champion, Dream Trine!"
Furthermore, he called out to Mashima, "By the way, Emma, have you decided which unit you want to join? Neo Generation? Or are you still undecided? Whenever you meet wonderful friends and think, 'I want to win the artist belt with these people,' come over. We'll be defending our titles and waiting for you."
Then Shimajima quietly bowed his head. He had been invited to join NEO GENESIS by AZM at the Aichi tournament on May 26, but had kept his decision undecided. Backstage that day, he said, "I teamed up with Neo Genesis again today, and I have immense respect for the speed and agility of the two of them," but added, "We're not a full team yet... I'm really happy that they invited me, but I'm still a little hesitant..."
At the Kyoto event on May 31st, NEO GENESIS member Mitsuyoshi Amasaki, who had been sidelined, will return. AZM, Amasaki, Kid, and Namishima will face Maika, HANAKO, Koguma, and Ranna Yagami. Attention is focused on whether Namishima's mindset has changed
