NARRATOR: AND NOW! METRO BY T-MOBILE PRESENTS! JOSHI EXTREME TAKEOVER!
**NEW**
**WORLD**
**REVOLUTION**
**USA!!**
(As “Tokyo Takeover” continues to play, a transition to the live footage as MSG is packed with JET fans who are cheering loudly. More shots of the fans all who are supporting their favorite JET stars.)
Maki Fujioka: LIVE FROM THE WORLD’S GREATEST ARENA! It’s time for New World Revolution USA! After the success of last week’s show in the UK, it’s time we bring our revolution to America, and what a place to start, here at the incredible Madison Square Garden!
(Shot of the commentary team ready to go and smiling in front of the camera.)
Maki Fujioka: I’m Maki Fujioka, your play-by-play commentator for the evening, and of course, I’m joined by the one and only, Asuka Kuramochi!
Asuka Kuramochi: Thank you, Maki! It is quite a feeling to be here LIVE at the Madison Square Garden! Fans have filled up this building to max capacity, what a sight to behold.
Maki Fujioka: It really is! And we’ve got a great night of action for everyone here in the building and the fans watching around the world at home! Two title matches, an important grudge match, and our opening contest of the evening, a second JET Contender Series Four-Way!
Asuka Kuramochi: We’ve got high-speed action to start off the night, so without further ado! Take it away, Naomi!
Naomi Serizawa: The following opening match is a Four-Way Match with a thirty-minute limit and it is for the Number One Contendership to the JET National Championship! First, making her way to the ring!
("Deracine" by The GazettE plays as Rio Kurokawa walks out in a Japanese-style robe and a kendo stick over her shoulder. She slowly makes her way to the ring, eyeing everyone in the silent crowd.)
Naomi Serizawa: From Settsu, Osaka Prefecture, Japan! Weighing in at 58kg! “Satsujin Kikai” Rio! Kurokawa!
Maki Fujioka: Here’s someone who is just itching to get her National title back! The inaugural champion, Rio held the title for 274 days before being dethroned by SAIKO!
Asuka Kuramochi: As much as she would love to get revenge on SAIKO, it is now Hannah Rockford she would have to dethrone. But first, she must overcome this obstacle!
(Rio poses on the apron, hands off her kendo stick, and removes her robe before entering the ring. As she prepares herself in a corner, “Dalla Dalla” by Itzy plays as NAMI struts out with her bodyguard Oni Ushi. She poses on stage as various K-Pop stans and simps cheer her on. Satisfied with her reception, NAMI struts her way to the ring.)
Naomi Serizawa: Her opponents! First, reigning from her Golden Castle in OSAKA! Weighing in AT ABSOLUTE PERFECTION! She is the “GOLDEN QUEEN” NAAAAAAAAMI!!!
Maki Fujioka: The Former JET Academy Champion is looking to move on up in the JET ranks! A JET National Championship reign would bring her much closer to becoming JET World Champion!
Asuka Kuramochi: We already know she has a bottomless appetite for gold and prestige!
(NAMI makes her way into the ring with a sly smile on her face as she slowly sticks her butt out as she climbs in between the ropes. She twirls to the center of the ring and points a finger into the air. “No Pain, No Game” by Nano plays, much to NAMI’s annoyance, as YOKAI walks out to a strong ovation from the crowd.)
Naomi Serizawa: From San Diego, CA by way of Namba, Osaka! Weighing in at 135lbs! She is “Queen Ghidorah” YOKAI!!!
Maki Fujioka: YOKAI has made her strong first impression so far in her small-time here in JET!
Asuka Kuramochi: The MMA veteran was signed by Yoko Kudo herself after observing YOKAI during a match! With eight years of experience on her shoulders let’s see what she can accomplish in the world of professional wrestling!
(YOKAI has climbed into the ring and poses against the ropes while pointing at the fans. "Last Surprise (Remix)" by Shoji Meguro & Lyn Inaizumi plays as Natsu Toyama comes out to an even louder ovation. Feeling the energy of the crowd, Natsu Toyama starts slapping the hands of the fans as she makes her way to the ring.)
Naomi Serizawa: And their opponent! From Masuda, Shimane, Japan! Weighing in at 95lbs! She is “The Final Answer” NATSU! TOYAMA!
Maki Fujioka: MSG has been awakened by the presence of the former IJWF World Champion! Makes you wonder if this is from her association with her mother Miss Manami, arguably the greatest women’s wrestler of all time!
Asuka Kuramochi: heck, greatest wrestler of all time regardless of gender! Former IJWF World Champion, JET Openweight Champion, JET Tag Team Champion, and SSS Pride of Sakura Champion, Natsu is collecting her own set of accolades! Now all she needs is to win this and she’ll find herself going toe-to-toe with Rockford herself-
Crowd: YOU’LL NEVER SEE IT COMING!
Asuka Kuramochi: (laughs) I guess Americans are big fans of Toyama’s theme! You gotta love this energy Maki!
Maki Fujioka: (laughs) I do, Asuka! I’m glad JET is beloved by all around the world!
(As Natsu poses on a corner turnbuckle, streamers are thrown by fans into the ring. Natsu jumps down and readies herself in a corner as ringside staff removes the streamers from the ring.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Maki Fujioka: The match begins- and out of nowhere NAMI rushes out of her corner and takes YOKAI’s head off with a RUNNING HIGH KNEE! WAIT! YOKAI manages to dodge at the last possible second! NAMI crashes into the corner and is caught in the ropes! YOKAI has no time to celebrate as Rio Kurokawa is waiting with a running boot! YOKAI evades the attack...POISON RANA FROM THE BACK!
Asuka Kuramochi: Natsu Toyama gets behind her in a waist lock for a German suplex! She lifts YOKAI up, but is having a bit of trouble as YOKAI has her feet grounded! In the meantime, Rio Kurokawa has shaken off that boot and returns to YOKAI looking to attack her while she’s being held by Natsu! WOW! YOKAI flips off the chest of Rio and lands behind Toyama! What agility! She pushes Natsu into Rio!
Maki Fujioka: Shotgun dropkick to the back of Toyama and she crashes into Kurokawa! YOKAI pulls them both in and twists around...DOUBLE FALLING NECK BREAKER TO NATSU AND RIO!
Asuka Kuramochi: YOKAI jumps to her feet and lets out a shout to the sky! UNBELIEVABLE! YOKAI seems to be adapting to this match quite well! She notices Kurokawa rising back to her feet out of the corner of her eye and shifts his attention to her! She notices Natsu stirring as well! She’s lifting both women once more...DOUBLE SNAP DDT!
Maki Fujioka: YOKAI is being tactical, neutralizing all threats until she can put one away successfully! She gets off of Toyama and sees NAMI gathering her bearings! YOKAI makes her way over as NAMI gets to her feet-
*SLAP*
Asuka Kuramochi: NAMI just slapped the taste out of YOKAI’s mouth! She’s staggering and NAMI wastes no time unleashing a flurry of elbow strikes!! She knocks YOKAI over with a handspring front flip kick! As NAMI brushes the hair from her face, you can see the unbridled rage in her eyes! She stares down at YOKAI like she’s some kind of peasant! She’s stomping her feet at YOKAI who crawls back into the corner! That’s a bad spot to be in! She’s getting a mudhole drilled into her chest by a wrathful NAMI!
NAMI: (without microphone) GET THIS BITCH OUT OF MY RING!
Asuka Kuramochi: If you didn’t know how NAMI feels about YOKAI, you know it now! The Golden Queen tends to be jealous of those who fans consider to be just as or more beautiful than her! NAMI emphasizes that statement with a heavy stomp RIGHT INTO THE FACE! YOKAI is pinned down, held by NAMI’s boot to her throat!! YOKAI is trying to push the boot away, but NAMI isn’t letting up!
Maki Fujioka: NAMI pulls YOKAI up and transitions behind her..GERMAN SUPLEX INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! That was brutal ladies and gentlemen! NAMI’s feeling herself as she struts to the center of the ring!
NAMI: (w/o mic) WHO’S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL-
Asuka Kuramochi: FROG SPLASH! A PRESS-STYLE FROG SPLASH FROM RIO KUROKAWA FROM THE TOP AND SHE HAS NAMI’S LEGS HOOKED!
Yuri Watanabe: ONNNNNNNEEEEEE!!!
TWWWWWOOOO!!!
Maki Fujioka: RUNNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK! Natsu Toyama with her first offensive move of the match and it’s a vital one as it breaks up that pin! Rio Kurokawa is on all fours and is progressing back to her feet but Toyama isn’t waiting! Cliched knee strike to the temple which makes Rio crumble! Natsu lifts her up- PALM STRIKE TO THE SIDE OF THE FACE! NATSU WAS ROCKED BY THAT WELL-PLACED STRIKE! Rio now wisely gets some distance in the form of a retreat to the ropes! Rio is getting up and shaking off the cobwebs while Toyama follows her there with a running lariat! Rio ducks the lariat and counters with A RELEASED GERMAN SUPLEX!
Asuka Kuramochi: Natsu Toyama flips out of it and lands on her feet! Rio’s relentless with a kitchen sink! Natsu tumbles but scrambles back to her feet! Rio goes for a big boot, but Natsu rolls away and NAMI eats the attack! Toyama tries to sneak up to her, but NAMI parries a forearm and reverses it with an arm drag!
Maki Fujioka: Natsu rolls through but NAMI follows up with a head scissors takedown! She sits Natsu up and drives a kick into her back! A second! A third! Toyama avoids the fourth and rolls to her feet! NAMI catches the counter kick but Toyama smiles! ENZUIGIRI NAMI’S STUNNED! JUMPING DDT! NAMI’S HEAD WAS PLANTED ON THAT CANVAS!
Asuka Kuramochi: NAMI appears to be in Lala land and Toyama isn’t finished! Standing moonsault! Natsu tries to hook the leg for the pin, but NAMI kicks out before the ref could start the count!
Maki Fujioka: NAMI sits up, her face red with pain and rage! She takes a knee and Toyama starts delivering shots to the face! NAMI eats the first two! She catches the fist on the third try! NATSU’S SCREAMING IN PAIN AS NAMI’S TWISTING THE ARM INTO A SHOULDER LOCK AN EFFORT TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE SITUATION!
Asuka Kuramochi: Natsu could be in deep trouble from the pressure NAMI is applying to the arm as she locks in that shoulder lock! I don’t know how NAMI does it but she’s back in control! She turns Natsu around and throws her backward with a Monkey Flip!
Maki Fujioka: LIKE A CAT TOYAMA LANDS ON HER FEET! SHE TAKES OFF AND REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES- LAST SURPRISE!!! NAMI WAS TAKEN DOWN BY THE SIGNATURE SLING BLADE AND SHE ROLLS OUT OF THE RING TO ESCAPE NATSU'S COMEBACK!
Asuka Kuramochi: NAMI goes bye-bye and Toyama turns around- HESITATION DROPKICK BY YOKAI! She attempts a cover but Toyama shoves her off and slides to the outside like NAMI! YOKAI doesn’t seem to be upset about it, though! There’s a wicked grin on her face as she runs and hits the ropes...SLINGSHOT SPEAR TO THE OUTSIDE AND SHE MAKES CONTACT WITH TOYAMA!!!
Maki Fujioka: Natsu is caught square in the chest from that spear! She’s down and it looks like YOKAI took a bad fall, though her opponent is worse for wear than she is! Natsu is brought to her feet and placed against the barricade. YOKAI is taking several steps back and charges forward!
Asuka Kuramochi: NATSU JUST COUNTERED WITH A BACK BODY DROP AND YOKAI GOES CRASHING INTO THE FRONT ROW! Luckily everyone got out of the way in time!
Maki Fujioka: The fans are all standing up looking in COMPLETE SHOCK! Toyama used quick thinking to counter YOKAI’s oncoming assault! YOKAI is curled up in a ball in front of those fans, feeling pain shivering throughout her body from landing on those collections of empty chairs! Toyama’s instincts saved her and they might be the thing that gets her the title shot as she sees Rio Kurokawa crawling around in the ring! Toyama stumbles over to the ring and climbs up to the apron. She has Kurokawa in her sights as she leaps onto the ropes-
Asuka Kuramochi: RIO CUTS HER OFF WITH A HIGH ROUNDHOUSE AND TOYAMA GOES FLYING BACKWARDS INTO THE BARRICADE! THAT WAS A SERIOUS FALL SHE TOOK!
Maki Fujioka: Natsu’s body is wrapped around that barricade and she’s not moving at all! Medical officials are checking on her and YOKAI to make sure there aren’t any serious injuries!
Asuka Kuramochi: Toyama drops down from the barricade and pushes away medical officials! I don’t know how someone so small is still standing, but her smaller size may have been the thing to save her from taking further damage.
Maki Fujioka: Toyama is trying to stand- AND NAMI KNOCKS HER OVER THE BARRICADE WITH A VICIOUS YAKUZA KICK! I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHERE SHE CAME FROM! Natsu isn’t moving and NAMI looks to enter the ring where Rio Kurokawa is waiting for her! NAMI slides into the ring and both women start waging war upon each other with blows to the head!
Asuka Kuramochi: NAMI is gaining the upper hand! DOUBLE FACEBUSTER!!! RIO WAS WRECKED BY THAT MOVE! NAMI WASTES NO TIME MAKING THE COVER FOR THE WIN!
Yuri Watanabe: ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
Maki Fujioka: Rio kicks out at two! NAMI, out of frustration, is pulling at her hair! It looks like she’s trying to rip the hair right off! Rio is trying to fight her off, but NAMI has such a tight grip on the hair! NAMI has been a raging beast, much to the joy of her bodyguard, Oni Ushi! Rio breaks the hold with a headbutt! She delivers a second one!
Asuka Kuramochi: NAMI’s stunned, but she returns the favor with a spinning hook kick! Rio avoids it and counters with a Northern Lights Suplex! She flips into a double stomp for good measure!
Maki Fujioka: Rio is taking advantage of the opportunity presented to her! She hits an STO backbreaker! She combs it into a WHIPLASH NECK BREAKER! NAMI’s starting to get worse for wear as NEON is starting to feel the spirit burning from within!
Asuka Kuramochi: Rio gets NAMI in the ripcord hold...she’s trying to initiate her knee strike, but NAMI is fighting back! Rio blocks the strike and hits one of her own! NAMI’s dizzy! Rio hits another strike! NAMI’s beginning to waver! Rio gets the ripcord...SHOKUBAI TSŪKŌ-RYŌ!!! RIPCORD KNEE STRIKE!
Maki Fujioka: Wait! She’s not letting go! She’s going for another one...A SECOND SHOKUBAI TSŪKŌ-RYŌ!!! NAMI IS DOWN!!! RIO GOES FOR THE PIN!
Yuri Watanabe: ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THHHHHRRRREEEEE--
Asuka Kuramochi: It couldn’t be that easy! NAMI gets the shoulder up at the start of three! Rio Kurokawa maintains control with several shots to the face! She pulls NAMI towards the nearest corner and runs towards it! UMEDA SKYLINE-
*THWACK*
Maki Fujioka: FLYING CHAIRSHOT FROM OUT OF NOWHERE! RIO WAS ABOUT TO PERFORM HER BEST MOONSAULT EVER AND A FOLDED CHAIR CAME FLYING AT HER FROM OUT OF THE BLUE! RIO WAS KNOCKED IN THE HEAD AND NOW SHE’S LYING ON THE CANVAS! THAT MIGHT’VE KNOCKED HER OUT. WHO THREW THE CHAIR!? WAIT! NATSU TOYAMA IS BACK RINGSIDE! SHE THREW THE CHAIR! SHE HAS A SECOND ONE IN HER HANDS AS SHE SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING!
Asuka Kuramochi: Natsu doesn’t look like she’s finished with Rio yet! You would think she’d focus her attack on NAMI but she lays the chair on the mat and hooks Rio’s arms...TIGER SUPLEX ONTO THE CHAIR! RIO’S IN ABSOLUTE PAIN! WE’RE SEEING A DANGEROUS SIDE TO THE DAUGHTER OF MISS MANAMI RIGHT NOW! THE FINAL ANSWER IS UNHINGED!
Maki Fujioka: Natsu turns her attention back to NAMI and drags her over Rio, who’s still withering in pain!
Asuka Kuramochi: Natsu gets behind NAMI as she locks in the double hammerlock! She’s about to do it! FINAL ANSWER!!! DOUBLE HAMMERLOCK GERMAN SUPLEX WITH NAMI ONTO RIO AND THE CHAIR! SHE HAS THE BRIDGE!!!
Yuri Watanabe: ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THRRRRRRRR--
Maki Fujioka: Rio Kurokawa kicks out, forcing NAMI’s shoulders off the mat and Natsu Toyama’s yelling at the ref for that call!
Asuka Kuramochi: Natsu feels she should’ve had the victory over NAMI even with Rio getting her shoulder up!
Maki Fujioka: It was a normal, reasonable count! Toyama has to focus on this match- RIO SNEAKS WITH A SURPRISE ROLL-UP!!
Asuka Kuramochi: SHE’S GRIPPING THE TIGHTS! NATU’S TRYING TO KICK OUT!
Maki Fujioka: RIO’S PUTTING HER LEGS ON THE ROPES!!
Yuri Watanabe: ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Asuka Kuramochi: YOKAI!? YOKAI SLID INTO THE RING IN TIME TO BREAK THE COUNT!
Maki Fujioka: YOKAI has had her much-needed time to rest, she was laying low and now she can pick up the pieces! Natsu Toyama is figuring out what she should do after escaping the roll-up but YOKAI is still on the attack! OSAKA TAKEOVER!!! LIFTING SIT-OUT DOUBLE UNDERHOOK FACEBUSTER!!!! SHE HAS THE LEGS FOR THE PIN!!!
Yuri Watanabe: ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
Asuka Kuramochi: NAMI REACHES OUT AND STOPS IT! NAMI isn’t in a place to get back into this match, at full throttle but she had enough in the tank to break that up! YOKAI is getting to her feet while both NAMI and Toyama are rising as well! YOKAI elbows Toyama! Slaps NAMI! Knee strike to Toyama! Heel kick to NAMI! Leg kick! Leg kick! Chop! Chop! YOKAI is going crazy with strikes, wearing each woman down with as much fury as she can muster!
Maki Fujioka: Both women are fighting back and they take YOKAI down with a double roaring elbow! NAMI quickly turns on Natsu and wails on her with fists, knees, and stomps once she forces Natsu onto the ground!
Asuka Kuramochi: Toyama crawls underneath NAMI and pops up to lock in a sleeper hold! Natsu jumped on NAMI’s back to make her go to sleep!
Maki Fujioka: THERE’S YOKAI! SHE DASHES TOWARDS BOTH WOMEN- SLIDING GERMAN SUPLEX!!! SHE JUST SUPLEXED NATSU AND NAMI AT THE SAME TIME!!! RIGHT ON TOP OF A RECOVERING RIO KUROKAWA!!!
Asuka Kuramochi: The former MMA fighter is pulling all the stops tonight! Toyama is fighting to get to her feet and goes for a desperate strike, but YOKAI easily avoids it and counters with a Saito Suplex! That leaves her with just NAMI to worry about! She picks NAMI up! Reverse DDT delivered! NAMI is on the ground, shoulders flat, but YOKAI doesn’t want the cover! No, she bends down towards NAMI- KAIJU LOCK!!! KAJU LOCK!! SHE HAS THE ROLLING YURIKAMOME LOCKED IN-
Maki Fujioka: NAMI ROLLS OUT OF THE HOLD! SHE’S ON BACK HER FEET WHILE YOKAI IS ON HER KNEES-
*SMACK*
Asuka Kuramochi: VELVET BLOOD!!!! SUPERKICK TO THE FACE OF THE KNEELING YOKAI!!! SHE’S GOING FOR A SECOND-
*SMACK*
Maki Fujioka: A SECOND VELVET BLOOD CONNECTS!!! SHE GRABS YOKAI’S ARMS- PLASTIC SURGERY!!! PLASTIC SURGERY!!! THE KAMIGOYE LANDS PERFECT!!! NAMI HOOKS THE LEGS!!!
Yuri Watanabe: ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
("Dalla Dalla" by ITZY plays as NAMI sits up, her face filled with shock. Oni Ushi climbs into the ring to meet with her boss and celebrate with her. NAMI’s helped to her feet by the ref as NAMI looks around, still shaken from the match.)
Naomi Serizawa: Your winner and number one contender for the JET National Championship...NAMI!
Maki Fujioka: NAMI really came through in the end! YOKAI had one of the most impressive performances I’ve seen in matches like this and she really proved how good she is!
Asuka Kuramochi: Natsu and Rio fought well as well, but it would be NAMI to power through for the surprise comeback. Now we know who will be Hannah Rockford’s first defense.
(The camera follows NAMI is as she’s being helped to the back by Oni Ushi.)
Naomi Serizawa: The following is a 6-Woman Tag Match scheduled for one fall with a 60-minute time limit! First, making their way to the ring...
("Sirius" by Eir Aoi plays as Mizuki Nakata and Sara Ashiya walks out, flanked by Hinata Tatsuo.)
Naomi Serizawa: This is the team of HAYABUSA and Hinata Tatsuo!
Asuka Kuramochi: Mizuki Nakata has had enough of DESPERADOS’ shenanigans and wants to finish what Midori Miyamoto has started!
Maki Fujioka: Mizuki has seen a crack in the armor of DESPERADOS. She wants to send JUNKO and her comrades packing!
Asuka Kuramochi: Some say JUNKO hasn’t been herself since losing the JET World Championship. And now with SAIKO without a title, it might be the end of days for JUNKO and her stable!
(HAYABUSA jumps on the apron and poses for the crowd as Hinata slides into the ring and starts running the ropes.)
(“The Only Thing I Know for Real ( Man. Agen / Instr )” by Jamie Christopherson plays as JUNKO walks out, flanked by Q and Yuna Miyamoto. There’s an annoyed expression on the stable leader’s face as she marches her way to the ring. Yuna has a look of determination on her face while Q looks a little pensive.)
Naomi Serizawa: Their opponents! The Team of JUNKO, Q, and Yuna Miyamoto...DESPERADOS!
Maki Fujioka: You can tell that JUNKO didn’t want this match. Yoko Kudo has put her in a corner it’s going to be hard for her to get out of.
Asuka Kuramochi: Well regardless of Kudo’s intentions, it’s going to get ugly out there. None of these women like each other very much - and for good reason!
(DESPERADOS enter the ring as a cohesive unit as JUNKO and Mizuki stare each other down. Yuna steps in front of her leader and offers to start the match. JUNKO nods and climbs out to the apron with Q. Hinata steps in front of HAYABUSA and cracks her knuckles, eager to take on the Youngblood Ace.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Maki Fujioka: And the match begins with Yuna Miyamoto and Hinata Tatsuo! Hinata is looking to get some form of payback against Yuna who turned on her and Sora Todoh back at JET 51! Both women start off with a test of strength but Hinata is quick to kick Yuna right in the gut. Hinata knows that she has the advantage when the match is towards a faster pace, so she goes for a jumping knee strike immediately after! Yuna gets up and gets hit with another knee strike! And another!...And another! Hinata is delivering those knees like gunshots!
Asuka Kuramochi: Yuna rolls back, gets up towards her team’s corner and lures Hinata towards her side. Hinata attempts a running lariat, but Yuna evades and tags in Q! Hinata Tatsuo collides into the turnbuckle at the corner and is hit with a devastating kick by Q! Hinata on the ground while Q tags Yuna back in for a chop block/savate kick combination! Miyamoto quickly goes for the cover here!
Hana Oikawa: ONEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!....
Maki Fujioka: Quick kick out from Tatsuo! I think Yuna was hoping to get a quick pin here, but her plan didn’t pan out. Yuna grabs Tatsuo up and sends her towards the ropes, Yuna goes for a leg lariat but Hinata holds on to the ropes! Yuna jumps to her feet and runs towards Tatsuo, who pulls down the ropes and Miyamoto goes tumbling to the outside! Hinata quickly tags in Sara and both women run the ropes for a double suicide dive!
Asuka Kuramochi: We are witnessing some amazing teamwork here, but I don’t think Q agrees! Q tries to attack Ashiya and Tatsuo, but gets a double superkick! WOW! They’re now rolling Yuna back into the ring- JUNKO TAKES OUT HINATA WITH A ROUNDHOUSE! MIZUKI NAKATA NOW GETS INTO THE MIX, OBVIOUSLY UPSET WITH JUNKO’S ACTIONS. Mizuki backs up after chasing JUNKO back to her corner. Meanwhile, Sara Ashiya takes over the workload.
Maki Fujioka: Sara hits an elbow onto Yuna and whips her towards the ropes... beautiful dropkick on the rebound! Q has recovered and now is taunting Sara, asking for another super kick! Sara chooses to ignore the demand but seems tempted to do it. Now JUNKO joins in the taunting and distracts Sara for a few seconds, giving Yuna the opportunity to roll-up Sara! Schoolgirl pin!
Hana Oikawa: ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!..........TWOO-
Asuka Kuramochi: Sara kicks out! She’s shocked as Mizuki yells at her for nearly losing the match there! She’s telling her to stay focused! Sara grabs Yuna and prepares a suplex, but a tired Miyamoto shoves her away! Enzuigiri! Both JUNKO and Mizuki want to get into this match! Both Miyamoto and Ashiya are trying to tag in their respective partners….AND JUNKO IS TAGGED INTO THE MATCH! UH OH...AND NOW NAKATA IS IN TOO! BOTH WOMEN ARE NOW IN THE RING, READY TO COMPETE. HOWEVER, THEIR TAG PARTNERS ARE IN THE RING TOO! EVERYBODY’S IN THE RING! IT’S TOTAL CHAOS! THE CROWD IS READY FOR THIS BOUT, YOU CAN HEAR IT FROM THEIR LOUD CHEERING!
Maki Fujioka: THIS RING IS FULL OF CHAOS RIGHT NOW! BOTH TEAMS ARE ATTACKING EACH OTHER, TRYING TO GET THE UPPER HAND! YUNA LANDS A HIGH-ANGLED DROPKICK ON SARA! HINATA TAKES Q DOWN WITH A CHASING THE DRAGON, A MODIFIED LA MAGISTRAL DRIVER! REFEREE HANA OIKAWA IS TRYING TO RESTORE PEACE HERE, BUT I’M NOT SURE IF SHE’LL BE ABLE TO DO THAT!
Asuka Kuramochi: Yuna and Hinata look at each other as they begin to fight and go over the ropes! The ring has cleared for the two women who have been looking at each other the whole time….and the match begins again! Mizuki walks right into a backhand chop from JUNKO, but she returns the favor with a jumping knee strike to the jaw, taking JUNKO out for a second! Mizuki continues with another kick right in the gut, possibly taking the air out of the former champ. She’s taking her time to dismantle her opponent! Nakata knows that JUNKO is a tough competitor and can change the odds at any second. Exploder Suplex! Mizuki goes for a pin, yelling at the ref to comply!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.-
Crowd: OOOOOH!
Maki Fujioka: Kick out from JUNKO! Mizuki picks her up by her hair, with eyes full of rage!
Mizuki: YOU’RE GONNA PAY FOR EVERYTHING YOU’VE DONE!
Asuka Kuramochi: Smack! JUNKO slaps Nakata across the face and knees Nakata’s skull! Nakata is dazed and now JUNKO is trying to take advantage of the match with that opening. JUNKO keeps Mizuki up and hits the Dark Edge Reverse STO- NO! Nakata fights out of it and lifts JUNKO over her shoulders, but JUNKO slides off and hits a missile dropkick from the middle turnbuckle after Mizuki gave chase! Nakata is sent rolling towards Sara Ashiya, who’s now recovered! Yuna and Hinata are fighting out in the crowd now, trying to even the odds for their respective teams!
Maki Fujioka: JUNKO is setting up Mizuki, who is now on her feet and hits a running crossbody! As JUNKO taunts the crowd, Mizuki crawls towards Sara Ashiya and tags her in before JUNKO turns around! She’s telling Sara to stay on the apron! JUNKO quickly picks up Nakata and hits a snapmare, followed by Calypso! Mizuki was rocked with that somersault neckbreaker! JUNKO goes for the pin but SARA QUICKLY STOPS HER WITH A STOMP TO THE HEAD! MIZUKI’S ROLLING AWAY AS SARA PICKS UP JUNKO AND GOES FOR A BRAINBUSTER! JUNKO FIGHTS OUT OF IT! DARK EDGE!! THE REVERSE STO CONNECTS! JUNKO TAGS IN Q AS YUNA THROWS HINATA INTO THE GUARDRAIL!
Asuka Kuramochi: Things don’t look good for HAYABUSA and Hinata Tatsuo at the moment! DESPERADOS is beginning to rally! Q hits a vicious snap dragon suplex on Ashiya! She has her foot on Sara’s neck as she tags in Yuna who climbed onto the apron! Mizuki’s checking on Hinata- wait! JUNKO’s climbing to the top! What is set up to...DIVING CROSSBODY! JUNKO JUST LANDED ON MIZUKI AND HINATA SIMULTANEOUSLY!
(A replay of JUNKO leaping to the outside with a diving crossbody is shown as she took out two of the opposing side.)
Maki Fujioka: Nakata and Tatsuo are out of commission! Sara’s on her own! JUNKO looks like she took just as much damage as her opponents, but judging from that grin on her face, it was all worth it! Q lifts Sara up over her shoulders...Q’S LANDING! SHE HITS THE CARTWHEEL DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! YUNA PICKS UP SARA...LOST PARADISE!!! SOMERSAULT REVERSE DDT!!! SHE MAKES THE COVER!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..
TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!........
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Citatriz” by Kamixlo plays once again as Yuna rolls out of Sara. Q helps JUNKO ringside as both women shout in approval at Yuna who’s celebrating towards the crowd on the middle rope. HAYABUSA and Mizuki remain half-conscious on the floor and mat respectively.)
Naomi Serizawa: Here are your winners! Q, JUNKO, and Yuna Miyamoto...DESPERADOS!
Maki Fujioka: The Youngblood Ace has pulled a rabbit out of her hat and has secured a win for her team!
Asuka Kuramochi: JUNKO seems to have made a smart investment for her team by bringing in Yuna. This might be the beginning of a DESPERADOS comeback!

Naomi Serizawa: The following match is scheduled for one fall with a thirty-minute time limit! And it is for the JET STRONG Championship! First, making her way to the ring…
(The lights turn dark as "BxMxC" by BABYMETAL plays. Yukiko Kusanagi walks out while lights flash around the arena. She’s wearing her signature face mask. She gets a mixed reaction as she makes her way to the ring.)
Naomi Serizawa: From Dotonbori, Osaka, Japan! Weighing in at 56kg! She is the “Demolition Angel” Yukiko Kusanagi!
Maki Fujioka: One of the more brutal members of the JET roster, Yukiko has wrestled all over the world!
Asuka Kuramochi: That experience could be the edge Yukiko needs to dethrone HULK in her first title defense!
(Yukiko climbs to the apron and poses before the crowd with her arms raised up. She climbs into the ring and prepares for the match. As the lights turn on, “Always Forever” by Cults play as HULK walks out, getting cheers from the entire New York crowd.)
Naomi Serizawa: Making her way to the ring! From Osaka, Japan! Weighing in at 63kg! She is the JET STRONG Champion…”The Heavy Lifter” HULK!!!!
Maki Fujioka: HULK is a fan favorite here in Madison Square Garden! In fact, the public has taken a liking to the young powerhouse ever since her debut!
Asuka Kuramochi: HULK is the perfect representative for JET’s new division which focuses on the strong style portion of our famed Queen’s Road Lucharesu style! A division filled with the hardest hitting competitors this promotion has to offer!
(HULK climbs into the ring and hands the ref her title after showing off her muscles for the crowd. She gets into her corner and prepares for the match.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Maki Fujioka: And we are underway, with two of the brightest young stars in JET doing battle tonight in the first ever JET STRONG Championship defense! Both women are circling each other in the ring, looking for an opening! Kusanagi's inching forward, extending her arm for a test of strength here! HULK accepts the challenge and the two begin jockeying for position!
Asuka Kuramochi: Kusanagi is in control, putting her technical skills to good use! HULK's gonna have to do something here... KNEE TO THE GUT! There's those instincts that have served HULK so well. Kusanagi's a little shaken as her grip loosens...MASSIVE CHOP ACROSS THE CHEST! You could hear that echo across the entire arena! Yukiko is holding onto her chest in pain! She’s staggering away from HULK, who’s inviting her to fight back-
Maki Fujioka: HULK DODGES THE SURPRISE PELE KICK AND COUNTERS WITH A RUNNING KNEE TO THE FACE OF A GROUNDED YUKIKO KUSANAGI! Yukiko rolls over to the ropes and pulls herself up! Wait! HULK is continuing the assault with a second chop! And another! And another! A frenzy of chops! What a start by HULK! Kusanagi has fallen down to her knees!
Asuka Kuramochi: She’s still holding onto the ropes which forces the ref to keep HULK away for a moment
Maki Fujioka: HULK gives Yukiko a moment but continues to unload with a series of stomps! Yukiko’s trying to defend herself- wait! Yukiko catches HULK’s foot! SHE COUNTERS IT INTO A ROLLING KNEEBAR! YUKIKO WRAPS HER LEGS AROUND HULK’S LEG! SHE’S TRYING TO END THIS EARLY!
Asuka Kuramochi: HULK is trying to kick her way out of the hold. She’s trying to reach towards the ropes- YUKIKO TRANSITIONS INTO A BODYSCISSORS PIN!
Hana Oikawa: ONNNNEEEEEE...
Maki Fujioka: AND A QUICK KICKOUT BY HULK! It's gonna take a lot more than that to keep the champion down! HULK is trying to get back to a vertical base but Yukiko cuts her off with a spinning back elbow!
Asuka Kuramochi: And she follows that up with a knee to HULK's midsection!
Maki Fujioka: Yukiko is taking back control in this match!
Asuka Kuramochi: Kusanagi whips HULK to the corner! HESITATION DROPKICK TO THE CHEST! HULK drops down into a sitting position and Yukiko runs to the opposite end and comes charging back...CANNONBALL SENTON!
Maki Fujioka: An impressive sequence by Yukiko Kusanagi there. HULK is in a precarious position right now, still slumped over in the corner, right where Yukiko wants her! Yukiko puts her foot to the neck of her opponent, choking the life out of the champ!
Hana Oikawa: ONE…TWO...
Yukiko Kusanagi (Off-Mic): Keep counting!
Asuka Kuramochi: Kusanagi wants to play chicken with the ref!
Hana Oikawa: THREE...
Asuka Kuramochi: KUSANAGIi CONTINUING TO PRESS HER WEIGHT INTO THE THROAT OF HULK AND SHE'S ENJOYING EVERY MINUTE OF IT. THIS CAN'T FEEL GOOD FOR HULK!
Hana Oikawa: FOUR...FI--
Maki Fujioka: And finally, Yukiko Kusanagi was forced to back off. But the damage has been done! HULK is barely conscious in the corner and now Kusanagi is going to the opposite corner! What is she up to!?
Asuka Kuramochi: She’s removing the pad off that top turnbuckle!
Maki Fujioka: But the ref's there to stop her! The referee admonished Yukiko Kusanagi, telling her to cease her actions! Kusanagi is livid! HULK stirs in the corner, trying to get back to her feet but KUSANAGI CHARGES ACROSS THE RING, GOING FOR A SLIDING EBOW-
Asuka Kuramochi: BUT HULK ROLLING OUT OF HARM'S WAY AND YUKIKO JUST SLAMS RIGHT INTO THAT RING POST! OUCH, THAT'S GOTTA HURT! NOW HULK AGAIN FROM BEHIND, QUICK TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT COUNTER! BRIDGING GERMAN SUPLEX!
Hana Oikawa: ONE!...
TWWWOOOO!...
Asuka Kuramochi: KICKOUT! YUKIKO GETS THE SHOULDER UP IN TIME!
Maki Fujioka: Looks like she's staying down, though. That suplex by HULK took a lot out of her and Yukiko Kusanagi is down and out. HULK brings Yukiko to her feet and whips her to the corner! RUNNING BODY SPLASH! HULK rolls backwards and charges again...ROARING ELBOW TO THE FACE! She’s not finished...BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX AND KUSANAGI GOES FLYING TO THE CENTER OF THE RING! THREE SLEEPS! HULK MAKES THE IMMEDIATE COVER!
Hana Oikawa: ONE!...
TWWWOOOO!...
THRREEEEE...
Asuka Kuramochi: SHOULDER UP FROM THE MAT! YUKIKO GOT HER SHOULDER UP AT THE LAST SPLIT SECOND!
Maki Fujioka: In spite of his dirty tactics, Yukiko Kusanagi has shown a lot of heart tonight. This is a woman who wants nothing more than to be JET STRONG Champion. But now, she's in a precarious position, HULK is pulling her over to the center of the ring. Now hooking the arms, HULK lifts-
Asuka Kuramochi: Yukiko’s resisting!
Maki Fujioka: Hard forearm to the face by Kusanagi! AND ANOTHER. AND ANOTHER! KUSANAGI IS UNLOADING WITH A SERIES OF SHOTS TO HULK'S FACE! SHE WANTS TO PUT HER AWAY RIGHT HERE BUT HULK SHOWING SIGNS OF LIFE! A VALIANT HEADBUTT STUNS KUSANAGI! ANOTHER HEADBUTT! AND A THIRD! AND HULK TOSSES YUKIKO ACROSS THE STRENGTH! WHAT STRENGTH FROM THE DISCIPLE OF GRAHAM BAKER!
Asuka Kuramochi: Both women quickly make their way to each other! -- a powerful front kick by HULK sends Kusanagi to the ropes! AND SHE FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A LITTLE BLADE BOMBER LARIAT TO THE OUTSIDE! BOTH WOMEN GO TUMBLING OUT TO RINGSIDE! HULK NEARLY TOOK HER HEAD OFF!
Maki Fujioka: Both women took a nasty fall there! They’re both trying to get back to their feet as the referee starts the count!
Hana Oikawa: ONE! TWO!
Asuka Kuramochi: But what's this? Kusanagi is back on her feet and is stumbling over to the crowd... SHE'S STOLEN A WATER CANISTER FROM A FAN! HULK's still down but she’s stirring! Apparently she landed on her head when she hit the floor! This is NOT looking good for her, let me tell ya. Yukiko Kusanagi opening up the carton -- look at that evil laugh! -- AND SHE'S POURING WATER ALL OVER THE EYES OF THE BARELY-CONSCIOUS HULK!
Hana Oikawa: THREE! FOUR!
Maki Fujioka: Yukiko is clearly showing a great amount of disrespect! Traditional rules still apply in STRONG matches so no foreign objects, but she’s trying to get into her opponent’s head!
Hana Oikawa: FIVE! SIX!
Maki Fujioka: Kusanagi drops the carton on HULK's body! She grabs her by the arm, and pulls her up to roll her back into the ring. Kusanagi drops down for the cover BUT HULK INSTANTLY KICKS OUT ROLLS BACK TO HER FEET! A STIFF UPPERCUT SENDS KUSANAGI TO THE CANVAS! HULK picks up Yukiko and whips her to the ropes...STYLE KILLER!!! A MASSIVE URANAGE OFF THE REBOUND!!!
Asuka Kuramochi: AN EXHAUSTED HULK DRAPS HER ARM OVER YUKIKO FOR THE COVER!
Hana Oikawa: ONE!
TWO!
THR-
Maki Fujioka: Yukiko manages to kick out, but you can tell she’s hurting right now! This match should be over right now! And Kusanagi rolls out of the ring while HULK takes this opportunity to give herself a much-needed breather! HULK is getting to her feet and she’s motioning for Kusanagi to come to her! It’s like she’s mocking her!
Asuka Kuramochi: Kusanagi slides back into the ring! She goes for a roundhouse, but HULK ducks!
Maki Fujioka: POWERSLAM BY HULK AND YOU CAN HEAR THE THUNDEROUS SOUND OF THE CANVAS! HULK MAKES THE COVER BUT KUSANAGI KICKS OUT OF BEFORE THE REF COULD COUNT! YUKIKO IS ROARING TO THE HEAVENS! HER BURNING SPIRIT WILL NOT ALLOW HER TO STAY DOWN!
Maki Fujioka: Kusanagi is trying to get to her feet, but HULK helps her up. She gets her into the powerbomb position-
Asuka Kuramochi: HURRICANRANA! YUKIKO COUNTERS ONCE SHE GOT ON HULK’S SHOULDERS! KUSANAGI BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES! SLIDING ELBOW STRIKE! HULK IS DOWN!
Maki Fujioka: Kusanagi is using everything in her power to stay upright while stumbling to the nearest corner! She has herself perched up high...it looks like she’s going for a diving double stomp-
Asuka Kuramochi: HULK KIP-UPS! STYLE KILLER!!! HULK CAUGHT HER IN MID-AIR! SHE DEADLIFTS YUKIKO ONTO HER SHOULDERS! FAREWELL, OSAKA!!! THE LIGER BOMB CAUSES THE RING TO SHAKE! SHE HAS THE LEGS!

Naomi Serizawa: Your winner and still your JET STRONG Champion...HULK!
Maki Fujioka: The crowd is going nuts for The Heavy Lifter right now! She has successfully defended her title for the first time!
Asuka Kuramochi: Yukiko almost had her in the beginning and the end of the match, but HULK pulled through! I have a feeling that we might see quite the reign from this promising young talent!
(HULK is seen celebrating in the ring with her title in hand as the Madison Square Garden crowd applaud her victory.)
