Utami Hayashishita won her reunion match against Hinami. In a tag team match, AZM and Utami faced Hinami and Lady C. The four, who once worked together in "Queen's Quest," reunited for the event
Utami, who started the match, faced off against Hinami. This was the first time the two had faced each other since Utami's return to the Stardom ring in May
The match began with a quiet exchange of blows, as if to test each other's growth. In their second encounter, Hinami put her on the defensive with a series of elbows, a hip throw, and an STF
Nevertheless, they changed the momentum with a combined attack with AZM, and immediately launched a sliding lariat. When AZM blocked Hinami's frog splash, Utami followed up with a bat hanging drop
In the end, she secured the three-count victory over Hinami with a spectacular German suplex hold
[A conversation between AZM and Utami Hayashishita]
Shimi: I had a match in Shinjuku at 2 AM and then came back to Osaka. My opponents today were Lady C and Hinami. It's been a really long time since I last saw Hinami in the ring. She's definitely not the Hinami I knew; she's much, much stronger, much more amazing, and she's getting more and more beautiful. I was so happy to see her in the ring again today
What about AZM?
Shimi AZM
AZM, it's been a while since we've teamed up. Earlier, all I could hear was Lady and Hinami. That's why our starting coordination failed. You idiots! (AZM leaves in anger)
Shimi: Oh no, I've made you angry. I've taken your presence for granted. It felt like we'd been together for years. AZM, I'd like to ask you again. Thank you so much
[Hina & Lady C's story]
Lady, that was a nostalgic combination
Hinami: Today, I met Utami in the ring for the first time in a long time, and not only that, it had been a really long time since I fought Utami across the ring. I lost today, but I'm not going to just say "welcome back" and leave it at that. It's very meaningful that AZM was next to Utami today, and Lady was next to me today, but since I lost, all I can think about right now is how disappointed I am. However, we have become a new unit, and we are currently in the same unit as Lady, so we cannot leave it at this loss. Let's get stronger and stronger in God's Eye
Lady, today I fought against a familiar combination of opponents, and we naturally performed some familiar tag team moves, which brought back a lot of emotions. But as I said before, I've grown stronger with God's Eye, and I want to go even higher as an individual, as a tag team, and as a unit. I think I'll be fighting those two again at Korakuen Hall, so I want to show them what I've got
