At OZ Academy's August 17 Korakuen Hall event, H.A.T.E. stormed the Openweight Championship match between Saori Anno and Mayumi Ozaki, disrupting the title match. This sparked a feud between Natsuko Tora and Mayumi Ozaki, leading Ozaki to decide to enter Stardom alone, resulting in a singles match at this event. Natsuko, the leader of the heel unit H.A.T.E., clashes with Ozaki, a legend who has long led the heel Seikigun and is still very much active in the sport. Will something new be born from this, or will it be destroyed?
Ozaki charges with a chain, Natsuko dodges, and Ozaki takes an iron pipe from the opponent's corner and throws it to Natsuko. Natsuko takes the iron pipe and attacks as the bell rings. Ozaki dodges and hits with the chain, then a back blow. She mounts Natsuko and attacks with the chain. Ozaki wraps the chain around Natsuko's neck and attempts a hanging. She leaves the ring and throws her seconds into the audience one by one. She pulls the chain and slams Natsuko into the commentator's table. She returns to the ring and pulls the chain, repeatedly hitting Natsuko on the head. She releases the chain and ties Natsuko to the ropes for a show. She hits her again with the chain, attacking her forehead. Natsuko is thrown into the corner but responds with a shoulder tackle and a running lariat. When Natsuko dodges, she hits a cross body and a senton. Ozaki counters, and Rina pulls her leg from under the ring. The seconds intervene and attack Ozaki. Natsuko grabs Ozaki and throws her into the audience. When she returns to the ring, the seconds interfere and attack. Ozaki hits Rina and Ruanka with backfists. She puts Natsuko and Momo in neckbreakers. Natsuko counters Ozaki's attempt at a tequila. Ozaki wraps a chain around the downed Natsuko and waits for her to get up before hitting her with a backfist. Ozaki! Ruanka throws a weapon to break up the hold. Ozaki pulls Natsuko up, but Ruanka's box hits her by mistake, and Ozaki uses mist. She goes for the cover, but the seconds pull her leg back. Ozaki attacks the seconds one after another with the chain. She hits Natsuko with a tequila. The referee comes in but it's only a two count. Ozaki goes outside the ring and takes out the chain. She eliminates Konami on the apron and hits Natsuko with a backfist, Natsuko attacks with mist, snatches the chain and hits her with a lariat. Ozaki kicked out at the last moment, and Natsuko hit a Death Valley Driver. Ozaki kicked out again, and Natsuko hit a Swanton Bomb. Ozaki reversed the cover, and Natsuko lifted her up. Natsuko hit Momo with a bat, and then a Death Valley Driver for the three count
Natsuko: "This old hag is acting really childish. Haha, she's going to barge in alone? Into Stardom where HATE is? That's not cool at all. What kind of babyface stuff is she spouting? Hey Ozaki, do you understand now? It's not your time anymore! Are you ready to admit it? Come on, tell me. Whose era is it now?"
Ozaki: "Whose era is it now? It's the era of Mayumi Ozaki-sama-sama-sama!"
Natsuko delivers a senton
Natsuko: "All talk, huh? Just like an old hag. All that's left is that useless old age! Ozaki... (to Ozaki fans) Shut up. Listen quietly, you idiot. Shut up, you were in OZ, weren't you? I remember you. That kind of thing doesn't matter! Hey, I'm super clingy. I'll keep chasing you until you get the name of Tora Natsuko out of your filthy mouth. Get lost!"
As Natsuko was trying to go backstage, Ozaki attacked her from behind. An argument ensued, followed by a struggle over hair. Saori Anno watched the whole thing from the back of the venue
"Ozaki, Ozaki, Ozaki! How pathetic. After all that boasting and saying he'd come in alone, listen up. For heels, there are no rules. It's just about winning or losing. The moment he came in alone, there was not a single chance he could beat me. How many people are in the audience at OZ Academy? What a pathetic organization. If that's the top, then I guess only the big spenders who surround the ring will come. So I'm going to show those big spenders what a heel is like in the Reiwa era. Though the old men and women who are being left behind by the times might not be happy."
"Their methods are similar to those of the Seiki-gun, so I can't tell them to come one-on-one, and even if I did, I know that two of them would come out like they do with us. I expected everyone to come out in today's match, so I knew that would happen. Tora's getting a little too cocky. She's really fired me up. It's going to be interesting to watch. And Okada? It's fine if she interferes in our Korakuen Hall show on August 17th, I do that in other promotions too. But it's ridiculous to ruin a title match. As president, she should take responsibility for that. I want her to come and apologize to the OZ fans tomorrow. Tell Okada that. It's common courtesy. Stardom hasn't contacted us at all, so she should just say sorry. That's what a president should do. And it's a title match at Korakuen Hall. And she interferes in the middle of it. I'm actually looking forward to seeing how I'll deal with this. Tora Natsuko, I've memorized her name, so I'll be watching her from now on."
