In the World of Stardom Championship match, reigning champion "Energetic Champion" Suzu Suzuki defeated Natsuko Tora of HATE, successfully defending her title for the second time
The match was played under the No DQ rules, with no disqualifications, as requested by both fighters. The match, which started with a chair fight, escalated into a fierce brawl outside the ring. The Red Champion, who specializes in deathmatches and hardcore matches, rubbed a barbed-wire bat against Tora's forehead
This left Tora bleeding. Nevertheless, he laid Suzuki on a table outside the ring and proceeded to perform a table crash
The desk broke in two, and the champion suffered serious damage. Furthermore, Suzuki was also bleeding profusely from a barbed-wire bat attack in retaliation
After executing an avalanche-style Frankensteiner, Suzuki staples a piece of paper with the word "Harikiri" (meaning "enthusiasm") written on it to Tora's right arm. In a display of sheer madness, she even has Tora staple one to her own arm
From this point on, the match became even more intense. Suzuki was once again cornered by a lariat after a Blue Mist, and immediately afterwards took a Swanton Bomb, but she refused to be pinned for the three count
In response, Tora brought in a ladder. The champion blocked it by throwing a steel chair at it, then launched a superplex from the top of the ladder, preventing Tora from landing a decisive blow
When Tora attempted a chain attack at a crucial moment, he was met with a tequila shot. Tora kicked out at 2.9, and Tora followed up with two German suplexes, but still the match remained undecided
In the end, he delivered a German suplex onto a stack of folding chairs, winning the grueling 22-minute and 56-second battle
After the match, Suzuki grabbed the microphone and praised her challenger, saying, "Natsuko, I could never have a fight like this with anyone but you. Well, I think everyone expected that if Tora Natsuko and Suzuki Suzu were to fight, it would turn out like this, but we're the only ones who can make a crazy match at the World Championships."
Tora responded, "It's frustrating. What's frustrating is that even though I lost, I had fun. I'm actually a regular at No DQ matches, but of all the matches I've played, before and since, the one with you was the most fun." He revealed his honest feelings
Upon hearing this, the champion extended his right hand and said, "Thank you for confessing. It doesn't matter that you're a heel. I accept your honest feelings of love. I look forward to our future together."
When Suzuki was overjoyed to have her hand squeezed back, she hugged him, but this time he pushed her away
Nevertheless, the Red Champion grinned and said, "Wow, I might be happy. I never thought this would happen. The red belt is popular, but Suzu Suzuki is popular too." She then added, "Starlight Kid, you're watching from Mexico, aren't you? I won just like you wanted. Please come back to Japan safely," making a match against her in her third title defense seem highly likely
She concluded the event by calling out, "This is the era of Suzu Suzuki as World of Stardom Champion. All of you, come along and give it your all!"
[Suzuki Suzu's Story]Energetic Champion got a little too excited for her fight against Tora Natsuko. Well, I'm sure you all figured it out today. Tora Natsuko has a crush on Suzuki Suzu. But today, we might have become a couple. From now on, I'll be thinking about Natsuko every day, and she might even appear in my dreams every day. That's how it is, but I successfully defended my title, and Energetic Champion is so popular that lots of people will want to challenge me. But, she said something about the next challenger, didn't she? That Starlight Kid. She was blah blah blah blah. Well, she has a good nose, so she'll go and grab the tasty stuff right away. So Starlight Kid, hurry up and come over, I'm going to make a fool of you. Damn, Energetic Champion is super happy today. So everyone, Energetic Champion will continue to be energetic, so please support her!
[Natsuko Tora's Story]
What is this, hey? It hurts. But I've done a lot of No DQ runs up until now. I've done them all, but no one has ever left such a mark on my body, seriously. As I said in the ring, it was so much fun. That's what's most frustrating! Seriously. But if HATE and Mi Vida Loca keep doing the same thing from now on, it'll just get monotonous. Maybe something should happen around here... Ah! I feel like I'm being led astray by Suzuki Suzu! That's enough! I'm going home! That's all!
