The match began without a handshake. They locked up and grappled, and when Sorei tried to corner Iida, he broke free. They broke free and slammed shoulders into each other, Iida provoked Sorei, who charged, they slammed shoulders into each other again, and Iida pulled the ropes, sending him to the outside. Iida climbed to the corner, but Sorei delivered a deadly drive onto the apron. Iida delivered a series of chops at ringside. They slammed shoulders into each other and exchanged chops. At the 16 count, both slid back into the ring and delivered a shoulder tackle. Sorei won the exchange and tried to force a tap-out with an Argentine backbreaker. Iida resisted, and Sorei delivered a series of chops and a corner body attack. Iida avoided the combo and countered with a shoulder tackle. Iida got into position for a brainbuster. Sorei resisted, but Iida delivered a lariat. Sorei kicked out, and Iida applied a dragon sleeper. As Sorei made his escape, Iida announced his intention to go for the Iida Rocket. Sorei responded with a chop, saying "You think I can do that?", and attempted a superplex. Iida resisted and knocked him down with a chop. Iida went for the Iida Rocket, but Sorei dodged it and delivered a lariat. Iida stopped Sorei's charge and went for a brainbuster. Sorei resisted and they both went for it, but Iida landed the brainbuster. Both men were down. They got up at the 8 count and Iida delivered a series of chops. Ten minutes had passed, and Sorei stopped Iida's charge and slammed him to the mat. Iida kicked out, and Sorei delivered a Blue Thunder. Iida reversed the cover, and when it was reversed, he went for the Iida Bridge, but Sorei reversed it and went for the cover, but it was only a 2 count. Iida dodged a lariat and delivered a lariat of his own. Sorei delivered a high-angle Blue Thunder. It looked like it was over, but Iida kicked out. Sorei pulled Iida up and delivered a lightning-fast attack. Iida was unable to retaliate, and Sorei claimed the victory.
Sorei: "I've earned 4 points in the 5★STAR GP! It's been over a year since I fought Iida before her return. Seriously, her chops...don't hurt anymore! Iida has worked incredibly hard to get so strong despite her small size, and she's really, really cool, which makes me a little jealous! But today, I won. Iida, thank you for fighting me in Koriyama, Fukushima today."
The two bump fists.
Sorei: "Good evening everyone who came to the Koriyama tournament! Following the Iizaka tournament in July, I'm really, really happy that we've been able to have two tournaments in such a short period of time, today in Koriyama. I will work even harder so that more and more people will come to any venue in Fukushima. I believe that winning is the first step towards that, so next time I come back, I want to come back having won! I'll be back soon, so please wait until then. Thank you so much for coming today!"
"My second match with 5★STAR earned me four points! In this triumphant homeland of Koriyama, Fukushima Prefecture, I was able to bring down lightning on Iida Saya. My third match will be against Anou Saori. I was unable to beat her in the white belt match, so I would like to win. Iida Saya said on the mic that the chop didn't hurt, but the truth is it really hurt."
"Damn, I lost to Souri Ami in my second 5★STAR match. Souri Ami has risen like a dragon since her return. It's frustrating. But, strangely enough, I'm enjoying this singles match. It's been about a year since I last had a singles match, right? It's been a while since I fought Souri Ami, one-on-one, in my own battle, so all the 5★STAR matches are fun. I've taken a lot of damage, but next up is Ryuuka? Is she okay? I'll get my revenge on you in the singles match. Come back healthy."
