At the request of Saori Anno and Natsupoi, this will be the first and last time they face the current Sendai Girls' Tag Team Champions, "Team 200kg," Chihiro Hashimoto and Yuu. The event itself was hastily organized to accommodate this match, as Yuu will be retiring just 10 days later. This will be Yuu's first appearance in Stardom in eight months, since April of this year. It will also be her first match against Natsupoi in Stardom in three years, and her first against Anno in one year and eleven months. Anno has faced Team 200kg many times in the Sendai Girls' ring in 2023, and Natsupoi lost the Goddess Championship to Team 200kg at Ryogoku three years ago. Both sides have faced each other many times, but it will be a very long time since they face Yuu. How will Natsu and Saori make the most of this last-minute opportunity? For Anno, this is a challenge against the World of Stardom Champion, currently held by "2025 MVP" Kamitani Saya. For Natsupoi, it's a match to build momentum before her one-on-one match against her best friend Sareee. On the other hand, for Hashimoto, it's a match with an eye on future battles, and for Yuu, it's a chance to end her Stardom career on a high note.
In the previous match, Maika appealed for a match against Team 200kg. Natsu and Saori climbed onto the ropes and posed, and 200kg let out a roar from behind them. Natsupoi volunteered to start the match, and 200kg offered a handshake. Natsupoi responded with her signature "poi" pose, and 200kg reciprocated. The match started with Natsupoi against Yuu. Natsupoi took her back, stomped on her leg, and delivered a cross body. Yuu endured and avoided an arm whip, instead throwing her into the ropes and delivering a shoulder tackle. Hashimoto glared at Anno and attacked Natsupoi. Natsupoi dodged and delivered a double dropkick with Anno. They attacked in coordination and then followed up with a dropkick from both sides. Anno and Natsupoi pulled at their arms, but Hashimoto and Yuu remained unfazed. They lifted the two and performed a reverse Boston crab, then stomped on their backs and struck a pose. As the two were sent out of the ring, Yuu crushed them with a mitarashi dango. Natsupoi was brought back in, and Hashimoto took some time in the air to deliver a brainbuster. Yuu delivered a corner body attack to Natsupoi, but Anno broke it up. Yuu delivered a body slam to Natsupoi. Hashimoto stomped on Natsupoi and threatened Anno, "Don't come out here!" As Natsupoi charged forward, Hashimoto dodged and applied a cobra twist, then lifted her up and slammed her into Anno before slamming her onto the mat. Yuu delivers a series of chops to Natsupoi. Natsupoi lands a back kick followed by a neckbreaker. Anno drops a kick to Yuu and gets behind her, but is cornered. Anno dodges Yuu's charge, but Hashimoto hits her with a body attack. Hashimoto dodges Yuu, and Anno hits them both with a missile kick. Anno stands up after receiving a series of chops from Yuu. "This is the last one, you come too," Yuu taunts, and Anno delivers a chop and charges. Yuu stops her and delivers a lift-up slam, crushing her. Hashimoto hits Anno with a running lariat. Anno dodges a brainbuster, but Hashimoto applies an ankle lock. Anno counters with a neckbreaker, hurricanrana, and dropkick. Natsupoi hits Hashimoto with a diving body attack, armbar, and triangle choke. Hashimoto lifts her up and delivers a shoulder tackle, followed by a senton from Yuu. Natsupoi dodges Hashimoto, and Anno sends her opponent out of the ring. Following Anno's instructions, Natsupoi jumps with a plancha to the outside. Hashimoto is brought back in, and Anno and Natsupoi perform a fantastic flip, with Natsupoi heading to the corner. Yuu stops them, and Hashimoto throws her away. Hashimoto heads to the opposite corner. Anno cuts in, and she and Natsupoi attempt a double avalanche. Yuu blocks it, and Hashimoto applies a hanging sleeper hold, with Yuu delivering a cannonball. Hashimoto dives, but Anno cuts in. Anno delivers a German suplex to Hashimoto. Natsupoi attempts a throwaway German suplex. Hashimoto dodges, and they exchange elbows. Hashimoto hits a Vader Hammer, and Natsupoi delivers a thrust kick followed by a throwaway German suplex. Anno and Natsupoi then engage in a kicking contest. Anno hits a missile kick, and Natsupoi hits a Fairial Gift. Yuu's cut was dodged and hit Hashimoto by mistake. Natsupoi hit Hashimoto with a Fairing Ring but it was countered. Yuu also managed to interrupt Natsupoi's Fairy Magic. Yuu slammed them all to the mat. Yuu called Hashimoto over, and Yuu powerbombed Anno and Hashimoto powerbombed Natsupoi. However, they were both counted out at two. 15 minutes had passed. Yuu and Hashimoto combined to deliver a diving body press to Natsupoi. Hashimoto hit Natsupoi with a lariat, and when Natsupoi countered, Hashimoto went for a powerbomb. Natsupoi attempted a Fairy Blink, but Hashimoto countered and got on top, pinning her. The referee counted to three, and Hashimoto pinned Natsupoi.
Hashimoto: "Natsupoi, Anno Saori. First of all, thank you to President Okada for creating this venue. It's the last fight, but even though it's the last, I still want to focus on winning, and I think it's a battle of how many times you can get your back on this mat and get a three-count. And that's why Team 200kg had the strength today. Natsupoi, you go to Ryogoku and get a three-count on Sareee with sheer determination."
Yuu: "I'm so grateful that you prepared such a wonderful venue for us. Thank you!" "I remember very clearly the time I wrestled with Natsupoi at Ryogoku Kokugikan as part of a different tag team (Nakano Tam & Natsupoi). I remember it very clearly. And Anno Saori. We fought against Team 200kg so many times, and I, as Yuu, have also fought against her at key moments. Thank you. You should also go to Ryogoku Kokugikan and bring home the belt!"
Natsupoi: "I know you were probably surprised by the suddenness of today's event, but thank you for coming. We have a very important match coming up. Fighting against Team 200kg, the two strongest wrestlers, before Ryogoku has left a deep impression on my body and soul. However, it's incredibly frustrating that I can't get revenge again!" I was reminded once again of the gravity of the fact that this is a world-class fight that will never happen again. It's frustrating. I want to do it again. I want to do it again. But I will never let today's loss be in vain. Yuu, I don't know if it will ever happen again, but let's fight again."
Natsupoi and Yuu shake hands.
Natsupoi: "(To Hashimoto) Chichipoi, the words you said on May 31st really stuck with me. It's not about having a good fight. It's about being determined to win, going for the win. Those words have really stuck with me ever since, they're words I've engraved in my heart. I'm going to absolutely crush Sareee at Ryogoku, so then next year, please fight Natsupoi again."
Natsupoi and Hashimoto shake hands.
Anno: "I want seconds. I really want seconds. But there aren't any. Two years ago, when Natsu and Saori won the tag team belts, the Goddesses belts, the first people we said we wanted to fight were the two of you. But I don't know if it was a company issue or some kind of adult relationship issue, but we couldn't do it. But I'm glad we could fight today. Natsu and Saori, was it delicious?"
Hashimoto and Yuu spoke to each other.
Yuu: "It was so delicious!"
Anno: "It was delicious, wasn't it?"
Hashimoto: "It was so delicious. That's why I'm glad we were able to fight one last time, and it's not often that we get to experience a fight like this with no next chance, so I think it was a good experience for both of us. Today is the last day, and all of us still have the goal of holding onto these (Sendai Girls Tag Team Championship) belts until the very end, and the two of you will definitely win at Ryogoku Kokugikan and be able to say that 2025 was the best year ever. So today, all four of us will wrap things up. Let's each say our closing lines."
The four of them discuss.
Hashimoto & Yuu: "Here we go. Thanks for the meal!"
Anno: "Yeah."
: "Bye-bye!"
Hashimoto: "Gyuuun!"
Hashimoto gives Natsupoi a piggyback ride, and Yuu gives Anno a piggyback ride.
Comments from Hashimoto & Yuu Hashimoto
: "Including today, that makes four more times? Or three? It was really sudden, but I'm so grateful that Stardom created this opportunity for us. Thank you."
Yuu: "Thank you."
Hashimoto: "Natsu & Saori, we've always said we wanted to fight each other, so we were able to have our very last, first and last fight, and I think Yuu will have no regrets and will reach the finish line like this."
Yuu: "I've been saying that this is my retirement road, but this retirement road feels like it's going by incredibly fast. But today I was once again grateful that I'm able to run this retirement road because I'm blessed with so many wonderful people around me. I'm truly thankful. Thank you! Natsu & Saori..."
Both: "Thank you for the meal!"
Comments from Natsupoi & Anno
Anno: "A match with no second chances, I wonder why it had to be here now. I thought about why we were fighting today, on this day, 10 days before Yuu's retirement, but I couldn't find an answer. I'm sure today, well, it's meaningless. It was meaningless. But I was really fired up. Towards Ryogoku Kokugikan, both Natsumi and I, you can tell from (Natsupoi's) face."
Natsupoi: "Yeah, that's true. It's obvious, but no two matches are the same, every match is a one-time thing. I really felt that when this match is over it, it's all over. I was really frustrated." But we'll never have the same match, the same lineup again, so I really felt how important this one match was. That's why this year's Ryogoku is a really important match for each of us, and it's a big one, so as Natsu & Saori, this might be our last match this year, so let's each show everyone the last Natsu & Saori."
Anno: "Let's show them. Let's be proud of what we've done for the past 10 years. We always stepped into the ring with our heads held high. We didn't slack off in any of the matches, and we didn't hold back in any of them. Let's do it." Natsupoi:
"(In an unusually serious tone) Bye-bye!!"
