Dump Matsumoto and ZAP, the notorious villainous alliance, are back in the Stardom ring. Dump teams up with Natsuko Tora of H.A.T.E., whom she sees as her successor, to face the Cosmic Angels, a six-woman tag team consisting of Saori Anno, Natsupoi, and Sayaka Kurei. Can Kurei, who has been on the defensive since her appearance at the Gokuaku Matsuri, strike back? It's no exaggeration to say that stopping the Queen of Evil depends on the lead of Anno and Natsupoi. Dump
enters the ring and threatens Cosmic Angels with a bamboo sword, then punches ring announcer Ando, and then referee Murayama. Dump's team then attacks Cosmic Angels, and Natsuko throws Anno out of the ring, leading to a brawl outside. Dump stabs Natsupoi with the bamboo sword and stomps on her with both feet. Dump returns and punches Natsupoi, preventing her from entering the ring. The bell finally rings to start the match. The evil team isolates Natsupoi and attacks. ZAP throws her out and Dump hits her with a bamboo sword. Natsupoi dodges Natsuko's lariat but gets hit with a shoulder tackle. Natsuko pulls her hair to prevent her from tagging in. Natsupoi gets behind ZAP and delivers a German suplex. Anno hits ZAP with a missile kick and Dump, who is waiting on the sidelines, with a series of elbows but Natsuko makes the cut. Anno hits Natsuko with a neckbreaker. Dump interferes and prevents Anno from doing a fisherman suplex, hitting her repeatedly with a bamboo sword. Anno kicks the bamboo sword up but ZAP makes the cut. Natsuko drags Kurei out and ZAP delivers a brainbuster. Natsuko follows up with a brainbuster of her own and Dump hits her with a bamboo sword. Kurei dodges Natsuko's corner attack and delivers a dropkick. Natsuko hits Kurei with a metal can and covers her. When Kurei kicks out, Natsuko applies a reverse Boston crab. However, Kozuen manages to break it up. Anno and Natsupoi go in, but Dump hits them with a lariat. Natsuko lays Kurei down and ZAP hits her with a diving body press, Natsuko follows up but is broken up. Anno and Natsupoi prepare to hit Natsuko with a brainbuster. Natsuko counters and offers Kurei, and they land a double dropkick. ZAP's lariat misses, and Dump's metal can also hits Natsuko by mistake, and Kurei pins Natsuko for the three count.
Dump: "Hey, referee! Where did you run off to?! Referee! Your shoulder was up, you bastard. Shut up! I said it was up. The referee ran away. By the way, who are you?!"
Kuri: "It's Kuri!"
Dump: "Clara? Heidi is waiting for you, please come in. Heidi is waiting for you, please come to the entrance. Don't mess with me, you bastard! Don't think that's all it takes. It's still a while away, but on May 25th, at Shinjuku FACE... oh, I made a mistake. At Shinkiba (1st RING), we're having a wicked festival! You, Kuri? You, come out. Are you going to come out? Are you going to come out wanting to get beaten up? (To the Clara chants) Dump: "Shut up. I can't hear you!"
Kuri: "I'll do it!"
Dump: "Alright! Natsupoi, are you going to come out too? "I'm not lending you the mic. I'm asking if you want to come out too, answer loudly!"
Natsupoi (without mic) "I'll do it!"
Dump "Who needs a mic, are you coming out!?"
Natsupoi (without mic) "I'm coming out!"
Dump "Alright, I'm looking forward to seeing you two. This isn't just a matter of bloodshed, the referee is in trouble. Where did the referee go? Did he go home? An ambulance? With that? Happy New Year everyone! Stardom is so much fun. Don't think this is over, man. Hey, little boy... little boy? President, you'd better look forward to it. One punch won't be enough. Remember that, everyone!"
Natsuko "Hey, the evil festival?" Are you going to participate? That's fine, but the Wicked Festival isn't a tournament for you babyfaces. It's a festival of evil. Be prepared. Today's results aren't everything. I'll show you what I've got at the Wicked Festival in May, so tremble in your sleep until then!
Natsupoi: "You did well, Kuri."
Kuri: "Today, I, I made a three. I have this huge bump on my head and I'm all beat up, but I made a three. I'll make the Gokaku Matsuri like today.
" Natsupoi: "Yeah! Gokaku, May 25th, Shinkiba... It's going to be even more intense than now? We're going to be even more fired up than we are now, and we're going to beat you to a pulp on May 25th, so you better be prepared."
Anno: "That day, I felt so incredibly frustrated. Since that day, I've watched all sorts of videos of Dump Matsumoto's matches, interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, and so on. I thought, 'Is this the Dump Matsumoto that took the world by storm?' But you know, isn't it up to us to make our mark on this era now?" Let's leave a mark, we'll leave a mark. It was great to be able to fight Dump Matsumoto in the first match of 2025. Thank you for leaving a mark. Let's do it, May 25th!
Natsupoi: "Yeah, let's do it. Bye-bye!"
Anno: "Happy
New Year." Kurei: "I'll make 2025 my year at this rate!"
