LOCATION: KORAKUEN HALL IN TOKYO, JAPAN
DATE: MAY 26TH, 2021
(RECAP: Highlights of JET’s biggest show, Cinderella Story XV at Saitama Seibu Dome plays to start the show, a huge collection of clips featuring every major match and moment of the show before a transition to Lethal Takeover II where JET was able to overcome their sister promotion LAW in a seven-match series. Moments from the show play with a focus on the wins and one particular moment where JUNKO cost Team JET the main event by forfeiting to get herself eliminated.)
(Cut to the brand opening video package featuring a new theme song as “Dance No Riyuu” by Yurina Hirate plays. Once the video package ends, the camera cuts to a packed Korakuen Hall. Banners of different JET stars all around the balcony including Midori Miyamoto, JUNKO, Momoko Honda, Mizuki Nakata, and Diantha Rosso with a quick transition to the commentary table where Maki Fujioka and Asuka Kuramochi are ready to go.)
Maki Fujioka: After a month and much more away, JET is back on the road! Welcome everyone to the first tour show of the year as JET is set for two back-to-back weekly shows before we head towards New World Revolution UK and USA. I’m Maki Fujioka and as always, I’m joined by the ever-amazing Asuka Kuramochi.
Asuka Kuramochi: It’s amazing to be back! What a show for tonight as we head towards the biggest international tour in JET history. There’s a lot going in the mind of the fans following Cinderella Story and Lethal Takeover II. We’ve got a huge main event featuring JET World Champion and her MSG opponent, Diantha Rosso along with a contract signing for Azumi Goto vs. Haruna Sakazaki but first JET General Manager Yoko Kudo has something for JUNKO after the DESPERADOS leader costed Team JET in the Night One main event.
(Soon “Rusty Nails” by X Japan plays as Yoko Kudo makes her way out from the back and she seems to be not in a good mood.)
Maki Fujioka: As expected, Yoko Kudo is not in a good mood. Despite JET being able walk out of Lethal Takeover with a 4-3 victory in the best of seven, it could have been 5-2 if not for the actions of JUNKO.
Asuka Kuramochi: Yoko Kudo has made it clear that JUNKO will have to deal with her wrath because of the actions at Lethal Takeover II.
(“Rusty Nails” fades out as Yoko Kudo is handed a mic and she begins to speak.)
Yoko Kudo: Good evening Korakuen Hall! I hope all of you are excited about tonight! We have a great tour show for all of you tonight! The past couple of months have been something that has made me so proud of being JET General Manager. We were the talk of the wrestling industry with Cinderella Story being the biggest wrestling event to grace the Seibu Dome and a month later, we were once again the talk of the world with our victory at Lethal Takeover II.
Yoko Kudo: But something annoyed me at Lethal Takeover. Despite JET winning via a comeback, there was something that happened during the Team LAW versus Team JET match. So JUNKO, get out here right now!
(Immediately after Yoko Kudo demands The Tragic Heart to come out “Spitfire” by Prodigy plays to a loud negative reaction. Flanked by her stablemates, JUNKO makes her way out wearing a custom DESPERADOS tracksuit. She seems to have a smug grin on her face as she enters the ring. JUNKO is handed a mic as “Spitfire” dies down.)
JUNKO: Kudo, why are you so mad? It’s your damn fault for what happened at Lethal Takeover. You should have known that I wasn’t going to play your games. So now you’re going to do the right thing and give me a JET World Championship match.
Yoko Kudo: WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH?! After what you did?! You won’t be near another title as long as I live! Plus you should know better, the next JET World Championship has been set and it’s Diantha Rosso versus Midori Miyamoto.
(JUNKO smirks as her faction members circle the ring before speaking again.)
JUNKO: So?! I don’t care about Midori versus Diantha! So you either add me to the match and make it a Triple Threat or you replace that piece of OWA gaijin trash out with me! Also... as long as you live? I’ve ended a career, I can take it one step further and end a human being’s life for that World Championship.
Yoko Kudo: Is that so? You should know by now that your little stunt at Lethal Takeover didn’t just piss me off, there’s a whole JET roster waiting to get a piece of you. And last time I checked, my army outnumbers faction by a landslide. So watch your tone, JUNKO. This is a new season and you aren’t World Champion, so you’re going to have to start from the bottom again.
(Suddenly members of the JET roster make their way out and easily outnumber DESPERADOS. JUNKO looks around as she gets in the face of Yoko Kudo.)
JUNKO: Understand this Kudo. One way or another, I will get the JET World Championship. And for all of you here siding with this woman, I have a surprise for you. Don’t think these five are the only faction members I have.
(JUNKO leaves the ring with her faction as there’s a focus on Yoko Kudo who seems annoyed. The camera cuts to a commercial with Yoko Kudo standing in the ring.)
(Quick Commercial Break hyping up a new line of JET T-shirts and merchandise.)
Opening Match/Tag Team Match:
HAYABUSA (Mizuki Nakata and Sara Ashiya) vs. Keiko Express (Usagi and Mirai Ayanami)
In the opening match of the evening, JET’s Ace and her young tag partner Sara Ashiya collectively known as HAYABUSA teamed up to face the young sister team of Usagi and Mirai Ayanami, Keiko Express. The sisters were great in their debut for JET as they worked on Sara with great efficiency. Unfortunately once Mizuki got into the match, it was all over for Usagi and Mirai. They fell to the might of The Ace as Usagi was hit with a Lanikea at the 12-minute mark.
(Winners - HAYABUSA)
Post-Match:
Mizuki seemed impressed with Keiko Express as she gave them a nod of approval and welcomed them to the JET roster with a smirk on her face. In her backstage comments afterward, Mizuki talked about how the JET World Championship seems a bit of a distance goal right now with Diantha facing Midori and JUNKO seemingly hunting to regain it. So till she can call her own shot for the title, she’s going to focus on her own goals.
Sara commented about wanting to be tag champions with Mizuki.
Meanwhile Keiko Express talked about their disappointment of not winning in their debut but they look forward to wrestling on the JET roster.

Quick video package showcasing all the brand new talent that signed with JET during the off-season break. The video was split into five parts with each star getting a section of the video.
- First up is Arielle Ramsay, the prized protege of Tarah Nova who not only inherited her mentor’s love for hardcore wrestling but also her witty, spitfire-like attitude. Having already debuted at Lethal Takeover, a lot of hype behind THORA and her potential as a competitor.
- Second is Akari, despite being the smallest and youngest competitor. Her positive personality along with her ambition to fulfill her childhood dreams have been complimented as a driving force for her being here.
- Moving from the youngest signing to the oldest. Third is Jei Satasuka, the former idol turned pro wrestler is here in JET. Her Wild Card personality and ever-changing style are considered her biggest strength.
- In the same age group as Akari, JET welcomes the SAKURA to the roster. Scouts pointed out her training under the 90s and 00s star TSUNADE and her impressive power and strength. A lot of comparisons were made between her and some of the stronger members of the JET roster like JET STRONG Champion HULK and of course, JET Ace Mizuki Nakata. The JET scouting team believes that she will be a perfect fit in the growing STRONG Division.
- The final signing is YOKAI who the scouts pointed about her career in MMA. After eight years, she transitions into a career as a professional wrestler. Just like SAKURA, the belief from the scouting team is that she will be a perfect fit for the STRONG Division, not for her strength but rather for her technical skills.
The video package ends hyping the debuts for JET 52.

Match 2/Six-Women Tag Match:
Yukiko Kusanagi and Wolfegang Symphony (Vivina Wolfe and Bethany Sharpe) vs. HULK and Osoroshii (Masumi Tsutsumi and Mei Namikaze)
In the second match of the evening, Yukiko Kusanagi teamed with the returning Wolfegang Symphony who missed out on the CS tour to face a collection of champions, HULK and Osoroshii. Both Maki and Asuka pointed out that Namikaze had taped up ribs following Lethal Takeover 2 and that became the focus of the match. Masumi and HULK tried to make sure that Mei wasn’t involved much but unfortunately the finish had Mei getting hit with a Massacre In B Major.
Note during the match was HULK and Yukiko facing off multiple times and Yukiko continuing to attack HULK even after the bell had rung with a tightly locked armbar. Yukiko was calling her shot, she wanted the JET STRONG Championship.
(Winners - Yukiko Kusanagi and Wolfegang Symphony)
Post-Match:
Wolfegang Symphony were arrogant as they pointed that with one of the New World Revolution events set in the UK, they should be given a tag championship match. They were looking to regain their status as JET’s flagship tag team.
Meanwhile, Yukiko Kusanagi in her slasher-like personality called out STRONG Champion HULK for a title match of her own at MSG no less.
----
(Before the next match, there was a quick package about Ai Moe returning to JET after missing out on Lethal Takeover due to a small injury she suffered in her failed attempt to become National Champion at Cinderella Story.)
Match 3/Six-Women Tag Match:
DESPERADOS (SAIKO and Juia Zhang), and Tomoyo Hirate vs. Hannah Rockford, Makiya Kusanagi, and Momoko Honda
In a tune-up match for New World Revolution UK, JET National Champion SAIKO teamed with stablemate Julia Zhang along with Tomoyo Hirate to face her NWRUK challenger Hannah Rockford who teamed with Makiya Kusanagi and Momoko Honda. The match multiple moments where it broke down into brawls but the match was never called off. The finish saw National Championship challenger Hannah Rockford score the win for her team with a Gen-Z knee to Julia Zhang.
Note for the match was Tomoyo Hirate who still had the bent steel chair that she used on Momoko Honda and her rival IZM.
(Winners - Hannah Rockford, Makiya Kusanagi, and Momoko Honda)
Post-Match:
Rather than giving her comments backstage, Momoko Honda asked for a microphone and immediately called out Tomoyo Hirate. She called out the former Academy Champion for her actions against Momoko herself and her longtime rival IZM. The Star Warrior wanted to settle the score as she challenged Tomoyo to a match at NWRUK.
Tomoyo’s response was a yes but she wants the match to be a No DQ match, so she can use the same chair that broke IZM’s neck on Momoko Honda and do the same to the Star Warrior.
Hannah Rockford gave her comments backstage as she told everyone that she isn’t afraid of DESPERADOS and SAIKO. Meanwhile, the JET National Champion talked again in her haunting, borderline creepy tone. SAIKO told the world that she’s going to have fun destroying Hannah’s hopes and dreams of being a champion in JET and that it will take more than two years for Hannah to recover.

A live satellite video from JET President Hanako Nakamoto was next.
The president of JET talked about how was quite interested in the brand new set of stars that JET had signed. She was looking at seeing if they can handle the pressure of competing at a JET PPV by announcing that there will be two different four-way matches at both NWR events. One for a National Championship match and the other for an Academy title match. She soon revealed the set
JET National Championship Contenders Match
Rio Kurokawa versus NAMI versus Natsu Toyama versus ?
JET Academy Championship Contenders Match
Seijun Kanemoto versus Amy Slayton versus ? versus ?
Hanako revealed that the missing spots will be participants who will win their qualifying matches next week on JET 52 which will the five debutants. Nakamoto ends the video by saying that she’s excited to see which young stars step up.

Semi-Main/Six-Women Tag Match
Hinata Tatsuo, Sora Todoh, and Yuna Miyamoto vs. DESPERADOS (JUNKO, Jessica Rose, and Q)
The semi-main was an interesting case, JUNKO teamed with her stablemates Q and Rose to take on former Team JET partner Hinata Tatsuo, JET Academy Champion Sora Todoh, and Yuna Miyamoto. It seemed that Yuna wasn’t interested at all in teaming with Tatsuo and Todoh. Despite that everything was going well for Hinata and Sora who were able to take on DESPERADOS together. It seemed like they were going to win as Hinata was looking to end it but to the shock of the crowd, Tatsuo was hit by her own tag partner Yuna who connected with a Yubitsume
One more Yubitsume for Sora as JUNKO laughed and took off her DESPERADOS armband before passing it to Yuna. It wasn’t an offer but rather it seemed that Yuna had been a secret double agent for DESPERADOS all along. Just to make this match even worse for the Academy Champion, the match ended with Todoh getting pinned by Jessica Rose who connected with a Rose Trigger to add more insult to injury.
(Winners - DESPERADOS)
Post-Match:
DESPERADOS and their newest member walked off, proud of the damage they caused. JUNKO was the first to talk and proudly introduced Yuna Miyamoto as DESPERADOS’ future. She was letting every reporter know that The Youngblood Ace is the future of the faction before telling Hanako that DESPERADOS can keep adding members, potentially corrupt more members of JET’s future.
Yuna got a chance to speak now and when asked about how long has she been working with JUNKO, she just said “Long enough to know that DESPERADOS is her ticket to the top.”
Finally Jessica Rose declared herself Number One contender for the JET Academy Championship, she isn’t done destroying Stephanie Matsuda’s legacy and that includes Sora Todoh. She wants her title match in her home country of England at NWRUK.

(Commercial Break)
(As the camera returns from commercial break, Naomi Serizawa is in the ring where there is a table set up.)
Naomi Serizawa: Ladies and Gentlemen, as JET towards their huge international shows, we have one marquee match that has yet to be finalized. So tonight in front of our Korakuen fans, we will finalize the bout that will act as the semi-main for New World Revolution USA. Introducing first, she is one of the co-owners of JET and the woman who booked this match herself. Please give a round of applause for the Queen of the Celestials! AZUMI GOTO!
(“Senkyaku Banrai” by DAOKO feat. MIYAVI plays to a loud ovation from the Korakuen crowd as Azumi Goto wearing a business suit makes her way out. She gladly high fives a few fans on way to the ring but her mood changes once she enters the ring and she stares down the opposite entrance way.)
Naomi Serizawa: And her opponent. She’s supposed to do this contract signing via satellite due to her busy schedule. However, we managed to make a deal for her to actually come here. We’re not gonna waste anymore of her time so please welcome, The Black Sheep of Pro Wrestling! Haruna Sakazaki!
(“Bring Me To Life” by Wagakki Band feat. Amy Lee hits the arena as we see Haruna Sakazaki enter the arena behind the curtain with a light grey pantsuit and her hair put up. She’s walking at a rather quick pace and without looking at the crowd, she enters the ring and quickly grabs a mic while looking at Azumi.)
Haruna Sakazaki: I don’t really have time for this nonsense so you better start this off immediately.
(Azumi seems to be a bit annoyed by the attitude of her sister-in-law as grabs her own mic before she begins to speak.)
Azumi Goto: No. You’re going to answer something that has been bothering me ever since RISE Together. What happened to you, Haruna? Ambushing younger talent, cheating to win, corrupting Tomoyo to act like you, and most importantly injuring one of MY roster members. Answer my question.
(Azumi seems to be furious as she looks right at Haruna while Naomi Serizawa is calming down her boss. However, Haruna seems not to give any response at all like she’s not actually doing anything. While Azumi seems really mad, Haruna just crosses her hands and lets out a smirk at Azumi. She’s not really answering that question, but instead, as Naomi is busy tending to Azumi, Haruna pulls out a pen from her own pocket and turns to contract then just signs above her name.)
Haruna Sakazaki: I believe that this is just the part of the deal that you told me. I just came here to sign this stupid contract and that is it. I am done here… Good evening!
(Haruna puts the pen back inside of her pocket and then begins to turn her body to leave the arena before she can step out of the ring, Azumi walks over and grabs the wrist of her best friend to stop her from leaving the ring.)
Azumi Goto: You’re going to answer my question, right now! Do you hear me?! This isn’t you, what happened to make you such a despicable human being?
(Haruna is not moving at all, not even looking back at Azumi behind her. The camera goes to her close-up face as she takes a breather before she finally talks.)
Haruna Sakazaki: 2011… I was a nobody. I was just a privileged princess that didn’t know what wrestling really is. I am just following three girls… my only friends back then in this arena and I am just walking behind their back and hiding whenever I feel threatened. Until the moment I slowly learn about this because I don’t want to give them a heavy burden anymore. I did this… far away from home on the other side of the world, by myself, until the point that makes me what I am today. But then, everybody left me… my good friends, even your husband and my brother that promised me that he will be forever by my side. I was alone… Nobody was there for me, but I can do it. I survive this hard world in one piece. But when I go home, back to my own land… what do I get?
(Haruna finally looks at Azumi as she yells right in front of her face.)
Haruna Sakazaki: ….NOTHING. No single impression about who Haruna Sakazaki is, not a single thought about what I can do in this ring despite all 7 years that I have done, crawling from zero. I am sorry, I am not a good wrestler… I am not from a wrestling dynasty… I am not a half-gaijin that keeps fighting in America but still gets some recognition here regardless because of the vague story they are making. No, I am just a nobody who writes my own story on a pure white paper and I am proud of it… But what did I get? Everyone is talking about you, Stephanie, Aria, Brody, and the other ‘Empire Generation’ women instead. You and the world forgot that I built the foundation that allowed ALL OF YOU to stand proudly and thrive. But now you see me…. Everyone here sees me and I’ll force you to see how someone who knew nothing about wrestling at all can survive in this world. You let me die… You let me get buried into a depth of obscurity. And now, I’m going to drag you and your company’s future with me!
(She ends it by shoving Azumi as strongly as she can until Azumi hits the table and falls to the other side of the table. Haruna then throws the mic away and looks at Azumi.)
Haruna Sakazaki (off-mic): Don’t you ever touch me!
(With that, Haruna exits the ring as Azumi talks while her sister-in-law walks away.)
Azumi Goto: That’s it? That’s why you decided to injury one of my roster members? Just because you got forgotten by the world, you’re willing to do all of this. I’m not impressed at all! You did build the foundation that allowed me and the others to succeed but you never stepped up to stand on that foundation with us. We all clawed our way to the top and it’s the reason we’re all remembered and beloved. Just because you couldn’t do that, don’t blame the world for your issues!
(Azumi signs the contract before she resumes to speak. The tone in her voice is one of pure rage.)
Azumi Goto: You want to be remembered? Congrats, Haruna! I’m gonna make you go down in history with the beating you’re gonna get. You harmed someone who was a part of my JET family and that crossed a line.
I’ll see you at MSG, bitch!
(Azumi tosses her mic as she leaves the ring.)
Maki Fujioka: W-wow. I’ve never seen Azumi so furious before but now we can confirm that Azumi Goto vs. Haruna Sakazaki will happen at New World Revolution USA!
Asuka Kuramochi: This family feud has grown into something else. I can’t believe we might have just seen the ending of Azumi and Haruna’s long friendship.
(Camera cuts to commercial as the final shot before the break is Azumi looking at the Korakuen projector where the match card for her bout with Haruna Sakazaki is shown.)

(JET returns from commercial as it’s time for the main event)
Main Event/Tag Team Match:
Midori Miyamoto and Machiko Hasegawa vs. Diantha Rosso and Arielle Ramsay
In the main event of JET 51, it was a preview match to their MSG main event as Midori Miyamoto teamed with Machiko Hasegawa to take on Diantha Rosso and Arielle Ramsay. Both champion and challenger clashed multiple times during the bout, their tag partners were also a big part of the match as Arielle was impressive in her second match as a JET Roster member. The finish of the match was Diantha Rosso pinning Machiko with a Diantha Driver after she and Arielle connected with a Burning Moon/Point Break combination.
(Winners - Diantha Rosso and Arielle Ramsay)
Post Match:
Diantha: KORAKUEN HAALLLLLLLL...I’VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH! I know that it’s hard for me sometimes to make all the tours for JET because of my obligations in America, but with what’s waiting at the end of this tour for me I couldn’t miss out. Thank you all so much for coming!
(The crowd claps in appreciation for Diantha as she stands in the center of the ring before turning her attention to her tag partner for the evening.)
Diantha: Arielle, I had heard of you before you joined JET, but tonight was the first time I was truly able to get an appreciation for how fast and skilled you are. I would love to team with you again sometime. Thank you for doing a lot of the heavy lifting for me tonight.
(The crowd claps again as Diantha’s eyes are now fixed on Midori, who has just retrieved her JET World Championship belt. There is a tense moment as Midori makes her way very slowly back onto the apron with Diantha taking steps to meet her.)
Diantha: (in Japanese) Miyamoto-San...wrestling against you makes my ambition burn even brighter. I know that many in Japan have taken exception to me saying that my style of wrestling is superior to wrestling here, but I don’t mean to insult you or the work that people here do. I simply believe in evolution, in driving the sport forward. My wrestling style is a combination of the best of American, Mexican and Japanese wrestling. It’s a raging forest fire, an unstoppable tidal wave...and you will be the next victim.
Crowd: OHHHHHHHHHHH!?
Diantha: (Continuing in Japanese) Even though I’m glad you’re champion, glad that you beat JUNKO, I can’t let this chance slip away. I’ve never had an opportunity to claim a title in Japan in singles competition and I still want to be the first foreigner to have held both the JET and OWA titles. I want you at your best and most ruthless when we fight. I don’t want any controversy when our title bout is over and I don’t want any doubts as to who is the strongest. You have something that I desperately want. You better be prepared to desperately defend it.
(Diantha drops the microphone as “Eclipse” plays in Korakuen, reigning champion and top challenger staring each other down as Midori raises the JET World Championship up, holding it so Diantha can get a good look at it before she jumps off the apron.)
