Wonder of Stardom Champion Starlight Kid is defending her title for the second time, following her victory against Rina. Her opponent is Konami of H.A.T.E. Kid suffered a shoulder injury at the Barb Sasaki referee show at Korakuen Hall on March 10, forcing her to miss the Strong Style Pro Wrestling show at Korakuen Hall on March 13, which was supposed to be her debut. This leaves Kid with some concerns about the title match. On top of that, challenger Konami has been toying with the champion with repeated provocations. If Konami wins, it will be her first singles title in Stardom, but...
Kid has tape on both shoulders. Just as they are about to get into a collar-and-elbow stance, Kid steps back. Konami sits down, inviting Kid in. As Kid moves forward, Konami grabs her arm. After a struggle for the back, Konami hits Kid's left arm with an elbow, a headlock, and feigns a soccer ball kick, but as Kid runs, her second, Momo, pulls her leg from below the ring. Kid dodges Konami's sliding kick and, on the apron, shouts "Don't mess with me!" before delivering a knee crusher.
Back in the ring, Kid delivers another knee crusher and a leg lock. When Konami escapes, Kid stomps on her repeatedly. He delivers a knee crusher over the ropes. Konami returns and delivers a diving foot stomp to Kid's left shoulder. Konami kicks Kid's left arm and drops several elbows. He kicks her left arm again and applies an armlock. Konami pulls Kid's arm while kicking her. Kid is thrown into the ropes and delivers a hurricanrana. Kid delivers a dropkick to the back of Kid's right knee. Konami attempts a Black Tiger Leg Kill but Kid counters and sends her to the apron. Konami delivers an armbreaker over the ropes. Kid dodges Konami's charge and kicks her leg, then delivers a DDT over the ropes. Outside the ring, Kid dives with a plancha. Kid brings Konami back into the ring and delivers a series of fisherman suplexes. Konami counters, and Kid prepares for a chicken wing face lock, aiming for a Tiger Suplex. Konami countered with a flurry of elbows. Kid landed a counter elbow, but Konami prevented him from running and took his back. Konami landed a series of strikes, then a back elbow that took Kid down, and Konami down as well. Both got up, and as Kid charged, Konami landed a high kick. Konami did a German suplex, but it was only a two count. Konami went for a buzzsaw, but Kid dodged it and got on top. Konami countered, and Kid hunched over, clutching his left shoulder. Konami stood tall and looked down at him, asking, "What's wrong, Kid?" Kid charged forward and landed an elbow, but Konami stood up and said, "That doesn't hurt at all." Konami knocked him down with one hit and landed a flurry of elbows. Kid did a fisherman suplex. 10 minutes had passed. Kid did a double knee attack from behind, followed by a spinning diving body press. Konami countered, and Kid went to the corner, aiming for a moonsault press. Kamitani broke up the pin, and Konami climbed up with two cans of spray. She threw the Cold down and sprayed Crossplay. After dropping Kid, Konami delivers a triangle kick, a knee attack to the face, and a buzzsaw kick. She pulls his hand back and delivers another one. She pulls Kid up and kicks him in the face. She covers him with one knee, but Kid lifts his shoulder. Konami hits a buzzsaw, but Kid kicks out for one. Konami pulls him up and goes for a triangle lancer. Kid manages to escape. Kid is bleeding from his mouth. She pulls both his hands and says "It's over!" and delivers a knee. Kid grabs her leg to avoid it, then slips through and hits a Momo☆Latch. Konami counters, grabs her kicking leg and hits a dragon screw. Konami pulls him up and delivers a high kick. Kid dodges and hits a Black Tiger Divine Punishment, then gets into a chicken wing face lock position and goes for a dragon. Konami says "I got it" and counters with a triangle lancer. Kid turns and goes for a Black Tiger Leg Kill. Konami counters and kicks him up. Konami applies a sleeper hold, and without letting him escape, hits a German suplex. Konami pulls both his hands and hits a knee, but Kid dodges and hits a Tiger for two. Kid performed a Star Suplex without missing. Konami couldn't counter, and Kid successfully defended the title. Konami attacked Kid without accepting the white rose and left the ring.
Kid: "My face is black and red. I got injured before the title defense, and I was really worried about what would happen, but I managed to defend it by the skin of my teeth. I'm so glad. Ah, I have a responsibility as the Wonder Champion. When I think about the fans and this belt, I really didn't want to give it up, so I fought today. Konami is a 100% psychopath, she was so strong and dangerous that I wonder why she doesn't wear a singles belt. I almost gave up so many times, I almost passed out so many times. But I was still able to defend it thanks to all the fans who support me. Thank you so much. After this, a beautifully transformed Cinderella will appear!"
Kamiya entered the ring.
Kamiya: "Kid, congratulations on your title defense. You're not seriously planning on having a singles match with me in Okinawa next week in this condition? First, I'll make sure your arm and nose are properly healed, and then I'll crush you once you've reformed. Fix them by then, little kitten. In return, I'll have a singles match with that ugly Cinderella in Okinawa next week, so you guys look forward to it!"
Kamiya leaves the
ring. As you can see, I'm in terrible shape. Personally, I absolutely do not want to lose to Kamiya. If you're going to say that, then please let me have a singles match with Kamiya when I'm in perfect condition. I'm really sorry to everyone who was looking forward to the match in Okinawa, but let me have a match with Kamiya when I'm in perfect condition! As you can see, I'm in terrible shape and have no energy left. I want to hear a big SLK chant to cheer me up! Thank you! Today I defended my title, and I am the 24th Wonder of Stardom Champion, White Tiger SLK. Don't miss my future title defenses. Goodbye!
"The white rose is stained a little red, and my mask is pitch black... As a double champion, I've been busy lately and hurt my right shoulder, and I was protecting it so my left shoulder and left arm are a little injured too. But I absolutely did not want to give it up, so I fought today. I was a little selective about the moves I used today. I changed the Quebrada, which I usually use at crucial times, to a plancha, and although I really wanted to debut it at SSPW, I was conscious of Sayama, and as a main eventer, and with that responsibility, I fought with all my might, using what I could at the time. I really thought it would be dangerous because I was up against that psychopathic Konami, and I was really nervous and anxious before the match and I was really worried about what would happen, but today, somehow, it was just barely. I managed to protect it. I'm really glad I was able to protect it. But I can't believe I was able to protect it with my own hands, Uma's condition has recurred, but I've been entrusted with the main event again today, even though I've let my grudge hang in the balance. That's why I think today's title defense was very meaningful. Also, as the Wonder Champion, I'd like to mention that a lot happened in your retirement match, and you were putting the red belt on the line. But I still want the Wonder belt to be the most important belt no matter what, and although my title defense today may have been a bit off, I want to fight in a way that all the fans can support with genuine passion. Honestly, that kind of thing is possible sometimes, but it's something that only Kamitani can do, and I don't think I can do it right now, so I honestly think that's amazing. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry about the singles match with Kamitani. But I want to face her when I'm in top condition. I absolutely don't want to lose! So in that sense, I haven't forgotten my competitive spirit, wanting to make the red belt, which is currently seen as the top in the hierarchy, into a belt that is on par with or even surpasses it. Now that I've defended it today, I have a strong desire to compete at Yokohama Arena. With that kind of greedy spirit, White Tiger SLK will continue to fight with all his might!"
