Mina Shirakawa, who had been sidelined due to injury, returns and will face Natsuko Tora and Thekla in E neXus V with Maika. Maika had called out to Thekla, so will we see new developments with Shirakawa's return?
As soon as Maika and Shirakawa enter the ring, they attack H.A.T.E. Maika and Shirakawa deliver a corner attack to Thekla and a double dropkick. Thekla retaliates, and Shirakawa follows up with a series of mounted punches. Natsuko tries to break up the attack, but Maika sends her out of the ring. Shirakawa kicks Thekla in the face and charges, but Natsuko pulls her leg to stop her. Thekla throws Shirakawa out of the ring and slams her into the audience. Natsuko also throws Maika into the audience. Thekla brings Shirakawa back in at the 17 count and delivers a series of stomps, a slap, and a thrust kick. Natsuko ties Shirakawa to the ropes and pours water on her. Shirakawa unleashes a barrage of strikes, dodges Natsuko's lariat, and delivers a Kawazu Otoshi. Maika takes down Thekla, who is on the sidelines, and then clashes shoulders with Natsuko. Maika gains the upper hand and prepares for a brainbuster. Natsuko resists and they exchange elbows. Maika counters with an elbow and a brainbuster. Natsuko lands a crossbody attack and a senton. Thekla stomps on Maika's face, delivers a series of big boots, jumps from the corner to dodge a lariat, and applies a modified Manji Gatame. Maika resists and delivers a fallaway slam, a corner lariat, a series of elbows, and a sliding lariat. Maika declares she's going for the finish and attempts a Michinoku Drive. Thekla resists and tries to lure her in from the apron. Natsuko hits a cannonball, and Thekla lands a spear. However, Shirakawa breaks it up. Thekla lands an elbow and a buzzsaw kick. Shirakawa interfered with a rolling elbow, and then teamed up with Maika for a body press. Maika hit a Flame Drop, but Natsuko made the save. Maika lifted Thekla and Shirakawa went to the corner, but Natsuko made the save. Maika hit Thekla with a lariat and then attempted a Michinoku. Thekla countered with an elbow and hit her with an iron pipe. She shoved the referee and hit Maika. The referee called for the bell, ending the match. Thekla was declared the loser by disqualification. After the match, both teams continued to brawl. Thekla assaulted President Okada at the commentary table.
Shirakawa: "Hey, Thekla, don't mess with me. This Stardom ring is a place for the real deal. It's not a ring for someone like you who uses weapons and does whatever you want. You're deluding yourself about your own strength! Next week, I'm going to crush you in a singles match! If I win, you'll have to get down on your knees in the ring and apologize to everyone. Apologise for tarnishing the name of Stardom! And pay the fine. Right, ladies?"
Thekla: "Hey hey hey hey, everyone, let me understand."
Shirakawa: "Ah, you don't understand Japanese."
Thekla: "I can speak English. (To a bewildered Shirakawa) Shut up!"
Shirakawa: "When you beat you, you apologize to everyone. And you pay the fine, bitch!"
Thekla: "Bitch? You want a singles match with me next week?" So if I lose, I have to pay a fine and apologize to everyone?
Shirakawa: "Yes."
Thekla: "You're such a stupid bitch! But if I win, I want to choose one person from Stardom for a singles match. Did you hear that, Okada? Translate."
Shirakawa: "Thekla says if she wins, she wants to be able to have a one-on-one match with someone from Stardom. She wants to be able to choose who it is... I'm willing to do a singles match. Because you're not going to win, Thekla."
Thekla: "Okay, okay, see you there, see you over there. Shirakawa 'Oppai-san' Mina
." Thekla leaves.
Shirakawa: "Okada-san, is it alright, let's have a singles match? I'll win and make her apologize in front of all the Stardom fans."
Maika: "Argh! Tekla, do you think you're satisfied with using an iron pipe? What do you really want to do? You want to talk, and you want to talk using an iron pipe? You can't talk like that."
Shirakawa: "What Tekla is doing is just assault. He's not a pro wrestler, it's not a fight. You've got the wrong idea about strength. Doing whatever you want. Pro wrestlers are supposed to give the audience dreams. What are you showing them? Just your own assault. An assault scene. Those guys can't do it without a weapon." Maika: "We don't need
it."
Shirakawa: "We don't need it. Next week I'm going to crush him and put an end to him. Enough is enough."
"I finally have some company and can start again. Listen. My name is Tekla and I am the most hated person in Stardom. Maybe the most hated foreigner in Japan. Today is again sudden, but it can't be helped. Because next week I have a special singles match with Shirakawa Mina. If I lose, I have to pay the full fine. I haven't paid it yet, but I guess I'll have to if I lose. But the worst part is having to apologize to all those beautiful, beautiful Stardom pervs. But if I win, I get a singles match with whoever I want. So yeah, I better get ready. See you next week, bitches."
