After the main event's intense battle, a big surprise awaited. Shingo Takagi of New Japan Pro-Wrestling will appear at the Korakuen Hall event on the 11th. He will team up with his wife, Natsupoi, to face Yuna Mizumori and Hirooki Goto
In the High Speed Championship match, reigning champion Mizumori faced off against fellow COSMIC ANGELS member and "High Speed Fairy" Natsupoi. This may be Natsupoi's last title match before she retires from active competition at the Yokohama Budokan on January 3rd next year. From the start, both wrestlers' pride and determination clashed, resulting in a fast-paced battle
After successfully executing a plancha, Natsupoi targeted the champion's right arm and applied a submission hold. Even after taking Kumamoto's Unsinkable Battleship, she immediately counterattacked with her signature German suplex, refusing to give up the initiative easily
With less than five minutes remaining, he unleashed a flurry of attacks including a spin kick, a neck screw, and a Fairial Gift, but it wasn't enough to secure the three-count. His MADE IN JAPOI was also blocked, and although he continued to fight on, he was ultimately defeated by Kumamoto's unsinkable ship. His second championship title in five years and seven months was not to be achieved
Mizumori, who successfully defended her title for the sixth time, expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you for coming with all your might to take the High Speed Belt." She then conveyed her feelings to her senior, who is about to retire, saying, "I really love you, Poi. So please don't say goodbye."
Natsupoi also praised the champion, saying, "I had so many feelings for this belt and for Yunamon that I can't put them into words. But Yunamon is seriously strong." She continued, "I got to fully experience the high speed and power that only Yunamon can do, and I felt like I could say goodbye without any regrets."
At this point, Natsupoi made an unexpected suggestion.
"How about we do it one more time? This time, not as singles, but as a tag team. I was actually planning to say this after winning, but I'd like you to stick with me on the Bye-Poi Road for just a little longer."
He then added, "Isn't Yunamon the unsinkable battleship of Kumamoto? There's someone I really want you to experience," and Takagi's entrance music began to play in the arena. When her husband appeared, the audience erupted in thunderous cheers. "Shingo Takagi has come to the Stardom ring!" was shouted, and a huge "Takagi" chant followed
However, things didn't go smoothly. When Takagi said, "Yunamon, are you ready? For a singles match with me?", Natsupoi quickly corrected him. This time he joked, "We'll team up, and Natsupoi will team up with someone else," which once again drew a retort from his wife. It was an unexpected husband-and-wife comedy routine in the ring
What Natsupoi wants is a match where Mizumori challenges her and Takagi as a husband-and-wife tag team. For their partner, she nominated Hirooki Goto, saying, "He has a deep connection to Yunamon, and he's like a cupid to us husband and wife."
Mizumori, a member of the Goto Revolutionary Army, said hesitantly, "But we haven't seen each other for a year. We're also in different companies, so is it really okay for us to team up?" However, Takagi was not going to wait
"You're the champion, right? You're part of the revolutionary army, right? You're an unsinkable ship, right? Are you going to take on my wife and me? Answer with yes or high."
Faced with a question that left no room for refusal, Mizumori accepted with a resounding "Yes!"
This confirms that a tag team match between Natsupoi & Takagi vs. Mizumori & Goto will take place at the EBARA WAVE Arena Ota (Ota City General Gymnasium) in Tokyo on October 29th
Having fought her way through the high-speed championship match, Mizumori now faces a formidable opponent: a married couple
Mizumori Yuna: "No matter how much I changed, Poi-san always stayed by my side and saw my true core. Thanks to her, I was able to become stronger by focusing on winning. Thank you so much! I've always respected you. And when Poi-san asked me one last thing today...how could I refuse?! Because even though I'm the High Speed Champion, I'm also a member of the Goto Revolutionary Army. When I see the bond between those two right beside me...! Goto-san! Let's meet up after so long and have a Goto Revolutionary Army reunion. And together, let's make Japan and Kumamoto even more vibrant!"
Natsupoi:"High Speed... I couldn't get it. Well, it's frustrating, but fighting with that belt in front of me really reminded me of when I first came to Stardom. I think Yunamon has changed the concept of High Speed. Up until now, there have been many wrestlers who were small and fast, but Yunamon is not just fast, she has technique and power! A High Speed that has it all. I don't think there has ever been anyone like her before. Yunamon ran full speed ahead on her own path, ran full speed ahead and won that belt, and made it her own unique High Speed. I really respect her. But! I'm not letting it end like this. I'm going to make you stick with me on the Bye Poi Road for a while longer. On October 29th, Takagi and Natsupoi will have their long-awaited husband-and-wife tag team match! I would love for Yunamon and Goto to be our first opponents!"
Shingo Takagi:"I don't know what Hirooki Goto will say, but there are no New Japan matches on that day, so I think we can do it. Thanks to everyone, things have turned out this way, and that's definitely thanks to Goto-san. I want to get my revenge in the ring, in the match, by putting in some tough moves. I want to go all out. I want to get my revenge in the match."
