Date: July 28th, 2021
Location: Korakuen Hall
(A recap of everything that happened at Fuji-Q opens the show. )
- In the opener, DESPERADOS’ SAIKO and Yuna Miyamoto picked up a win over Diantha Rosso and SAKURA.
- DESPERADOS would pick up a second win as Q defeated Ai Moe to win the 2021 Biggest Dreamer Tournament.
- This would immediately be followed up with two title matches as Osoroshii defeated HAYABUSA after Masumi pinned MIzuki, another big loss for the Ace but the story was what happened after the title match as both tag champs were attacked by SAIKO who seemed to be interested in the tag titles.
- After the tag titles was an incredible JET STRONG title match between HULK and Hinata Tatsuo. Hinata was extremely impressive in her first ever title match but fell to a brand new variation of HULK’s Farewell Osaka. After the match, it seemed that HULK found her next challenger as
- After the intermission the second half of the show started with the JET Academy Championship match as Seijun Kanemoto defeated now-former champion Sora Todoh via submission to become the 22nd JET Academy Champion.
- Making her first defense of the National Title, Hannah Rockford was able to put away NAMI in a fast pace match.
- The semi-main was a grudge match between Haruna Sakazaki and Momoko Honda with the Star Warrior able to walk out of the event as a winner after debuting a brand new finisher.
- Just before the main event, the blocks for the 2021 RISE Grand Prix were unveiled with many tournament debutants and the big surprise of the final entrant being former JET World Champion and OWA Odyssey star BIANCA.
- Finally in the main event, the first ever Three Stages of Hell match contested in JET history. JUNKO put her faction’s existence on the line against Midori Miyamoto’s JET World Championship. The match ended with a huge moment as Machiko Hasegawa would accept JUNKO’s offer and join DESPERADOS, helping the Tragic Heart regain the JET World Championship.
(As the video package ends, we immediately cut to the JET intro.)
(As the theme song for JET plays, the camera cuts to a packed Korakuen hall ready to go for tonight before a transition right to the commentary team where Maki Fujioka and Asuka Kuramochi are ready to go.)
Maki Fujioka: What a night we had at Fuji-Q! The first pro-wrestling show held at Conifer Forest was a huge success but now we’re on the road towards Stardust Dream in Hiroshima Mazda Stadium! Hello everyone, I’m Maki Fujioka, joined as always by my commentary partner Asuka Kuramochi.
Asuka Kuramochi: It’s always great to be here in Korakuen Hall, the crowd in the venue are excited and we’re ready to go! The card for tonight has a lot of implications for Stardust Dream, two No.1 contender matches.
Maki Fujioka: Well I guess it would be wrong if we continued to waste time, let’s get underway with our first match of the evening.
Opening Match:
Yuna Miyamoto vs. Sara Ashiya
In the opening contest of the show, Yuna Miyamoto took on Sara Ashiya in a quick 10-minute high speed match. This seemed to be a test for Sara to see if she can handle singles matches before the RISE Grand Prix; there was no Mizuki by her side as The Ace was the one who put her tag partner and protege to the test. Unfortunately she would fail the test as Yuna scored the win with a Lost Paradise
(Winner - Yuna Miyamoto)
(Yuna immediately asked for the mic as she looked at the downed Sara before speaking, the crowd didn’t want to hear her speak as they booed her.)
Yuna Miyamoto: Hey management! What is this bullshit?! You went ahead and put this runt in the RISE Grand Prix but not me? I’m the best damn prospect in this company and yet I’m forced to sit out for this year’s RISE Grand Prix! GP is supposed to be the tournament of the best that JET has to offer and yet this loser got in!
(Yuna immediately put her on Sara’s chest which caused even more boos to rain down on the Youngblood DESPERADO.)
Yuna Miyamoto: You should correct the mistake you made, put me in the RISE Grand Prix over Sara!
(Seeing her tag partner getting disrespected, this brought out Mizuki who had a mic in her hand. Once The Ace entered the ring, she immediately pushed Yuna off her and looked directly at her.)
Mizuki Nakata: You want a RISE GP spot?! How about picking on someone who isn’t down after a match?! I’ve been getting sick and tired of DESPERADOS bullshit ever since you all formed last year! If you want a spot in this year’s GP that badly, fight me for my spot in the tournament instead! Let’s see what JUNKO has taught you!
(Yuna Miyamoto smirked as she soon responded to The Ace’s challenge.)
Yuna Miyamoto: A match against “The Ace”, the broken down, beaten up figurehead of JET. Sure but I want the match to be in your venue, in Hiroshima at Mazda Stadium! Yuna Miyamoto vs. Mizuki at Stardust Dream! How about it, “Ace”?
(Mizuki soon got right up in Yuna’s face as she knew her answer.)
Mizuki Nakata: Sure! You vs. Me, and if you beat me, I’ll give you my spot in the RISE Grand Prix. But when I beat you, it’s gonna send a message to your entire faction that I’m going to get each and every single one of them and specifically JUNKO!
(Yuna, seemingly annoyed at Mizuki’s comment, pushes her future opponent back but immediately slides out of the ring before Mizuki could get her hands on her. Mizuki soon helps Sara backstage as the camera cuts to a quick intermission.

Wild laughter is the first thing that can be picked up on as the camera comes to life. Seijun Kanemoto appears on the screen a few moments later. She appears to be reclining on a golden throne chair. The Joshi Extreme Takeover Academy Championship is hanging from the throne’s armrest.
Seijun Kanemoto: And once again the word of Seijun Kanemoto is proven to be true, in many different facets. What happened when JET decided to give the new blood a chance? It received a speculator match and a brand new champion!
The young woman lets out a tired grunt.
Seijun Kanemoto: And what happened when the same two people fought for the JET World Championship? That’s right, more stagnation.
She shakes her head.
Seijun Kanemoto: That’s the frustrating part about working here. It’s always two steps forward and three steps backwards.
She snaps her fingers and creates an audible pop.
Seijun Kanemoto: But that’s alright, because JET has ME now. JET now has a person who has the power and will stand above all the rest. And as it has been clearly shown, I’m able to enact change. That’s my ultimate goal. Sticking to the status quo has led this company down a dark path. But fortunately for JET, I’m a gracious savior.
Seijun leans back in her seat a little bit. A few moments pass before the scene fades and we return to ringside for the next match of the evening.

Match 2
Machiko Hasegawa vs. Spring TORA
In the second match of the evening, young girl Spring TORA was absolutely destroyed by the newest DESPERADOS member Machiko Hasegawa who won with a Hasegawa-Bomb in 5:25.
(Winner - Machiko Hasegawa)
Post-Match:
Machiko with boos raining down has a mic in her hand.
Machiko Hasegawa: You all want an explanation? Fine! How do you think I felt when people that joined after me were able to succeed!? Sora Todoh, NAMI, Hannah Rockford and HULK. Everyone kept telling me that the path to the top is by staying true to oneself and never steer away from good! AND WHAT DID GET ME?! NOTHING! JUNKO gave me a simple offer, a better path AND ONE WHERE I WILL NO LONGER BE PASSED UPON BY OTHERS INCLUDING MIDORI MIYAMOTO!
Just as she celebrates, Machiko is soon attacked from behind by Midori Miyamoto which causes the crowd to erupt. Midori has Machiko trapped in a sleeper hold but Hasegawa is able to shake off Midori and immediately escapes the ring. With the crowd chanting her name, Midori immediately gets a mic to yell at Machiko!
Midori Miyamoto: OI’ MACHIKO!! DO YOU FEEL PROUD OF YOURSELF?! I HOPE YOU ENJOY WHAT YOU DID BECAUSE WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU!
YOU’LL BE A DEAD WOMAN!
"Hakoniwa" by BRIDEAR plays as Midori drops the microphone in anger, glaring right at Machiko who’s backing off.

Talia Areano vs. Megan Enders
In the first of two semi-main for JET 57, former tag champions and tag partners Talia Areano and Megan Enders faced off with the winner set to face off against Hannah Rockford at Stardust Dream. The match went on for 15 minutes or so and in the end, Talia was able to secure the win with a Slice of Heaven and book herself as the new No. 1 Contender for the National Championship.
(Winner - Talia Areano)
Post-match:
Following the match, Talia and Megan shaked hands as there seemed to be no bad blood whatsoever between the tag partners. Hannah Rockford who was watching the show at ringside seemed impressed as told Talia to get prepared for their eventual title match.

A moment or two passes before the picture comes to life. The camera zooms in on Rio Kurokawa as she walks down the hallway. Her facial features reveal her state of mind: wrinkled brow, a slight scowl, deadeye stare. She bypasses a bunch of people until she reaches the locker room. However, someone is standing in front of her locker.
? : Looks like someone is not knowing what to do in this place.
It was Tomoyo Hirate, Rio’s former friend, seemingly mocking her about her future in JET. She then walks approaching Rio while talking and mocking.
Tomoyo Hirate: Not even making a cut in RISE GP, getting kicked out from every single title contention. You basically just hang out backstage to get paid now. Oh, I know what to do…. How about you keep complaining on your Twitter about it, tweeting “Ugh, I feel left out.”, “Ugh, why do I never get booked?” Or something like that. It works for Megan Enders, maybe it works for you too.
Rio’s eyes narrow as she slowly approaches her former tag team partner.
Rio Kurokawa: You don’t get the right to speak about such matters. We all don’t get the right to disappear when the going gets tough.
She lets out a grunt.
Rio Kurokawa: What do you want? Hmm?
Tomoyo looks at Rio’s intimidating question and just replies with a simple shrug and a sly smirk.
Tomoyo Hirate: To be honest, you and I are in the same boat. I honestly have nothing to do here. I just got home from an excursion to America, hoping to be somebody as I come back here. But what did I do here? Nothing. They gave me nothing and my excursion was basically useless. So I decided to ask a fellow useless roster member to actually be somebody again. I was thinking… How about we give it another go?
Tomoyo lets out another shrug but her eyes are looking at Rio sharply, waiting for another answer. It’s clear that Rio is contemplating. However, she eventually nods her head.
Rio Kurokawa: Fine. Let’s do it.
Rio holds out her hand. Tomoyo looks at it for a brief moment before she extends her own. A moment passes before the camera cuts away and heads back towards ringside.

Semi-Main II/JET Academy Championship No. 1 Contenders Match
YOKAI vs. Arielle Ramsay
The second semi-main of the evening as the winner will challenge the new JET Academy Champion Seijun Kanemoto at Stardust Dream. Both competitors were looking to get their first title match since signing with JET but in the YOKAI was the one who walked out with the victory in 20:46 via Game Over (Package Piledriver)!
(Winner - YOKAI)
Post-Match:
Backstage after the match, YOKAI refused to give a comment as she said that she’ll let her actions speak for her at Stardust Dream when she wins the Academy Championship.

Cut back to ringside as JET returns from the commercial break, "Raising Hope" is heard through the speakers. Momoko Honda walks out from behind the curtain and is greeted by a roar of cheers. This brings a smile to Momoko's face; she proceeds walking down the ramp and enters the ring, still showing the effects of the war she had with Haruna Sakazaki at Fuji-Q Pro Wrestling Festival. She is given a Mirco-phone. Before she could speak, the fans began to chant.
Momo! Momo! Momo!
Chants of the crowds warm Momoko's heart even more; all she could do was smile.
Momoko: "Thank you all; I appreciate every single one of you. At the Wrestling Festival, I was able to fulfill a lot of promises I made to many people, not only to every one of you but also to IZM and Azumi-Onēsan as well. I managed to take both of their dreams of revenge on my shoulders and did what I said I was going to do, and that was taken down not only Tomoyo-san......"
The fans begin to boo as Tomoyo's name is heard.
Momoko: "But after an intense war at the Wrestling Festival that I Momo-chan is still feeling the effects of, I unlocked something deep inside myself and took down Haruna-Onēsan in front of the world to see."
Fans begin to cheer again. Momoko paces inside the ring slowly.
Momoko: "Many are wondering what is next for Momo-chan? The interviewer has asked, "Since you gain revenge, what is next for your career?" I thought about it long and hard, for a great deal of time; I was focused on gaining revenge for my friend and mentor, and now that it is done. It is a hole that I had to fill; it didn't take long for me to find something."
The corners of Momoko's mouth begin to turn up.
Momoko: "I will be throwing my name into the RISE GP. In one of the most intense tournaments to be produced by JET, only the toughest women will be competing, and it will be my time to show the world that the Star Warrior is the Future Ace of JET. My focus is the RISE GP and winning it."
Momoko gives a smile, but behind that smile is an intense burning desire for the awaited competition. “Rising Hope” by LiSA plays one more time as the crowd cheers for her. JET cuts to one more break.

Main Event/Six-Women Tag Match:
HULK and Osoroshii (Mei Namikaze and Masumi Tsutsumi) vs. DESPERADOS (Q, SAIKO, and JUNKO)
In tonight’s main event, the JET Tag Champions Osoroshii teamed with JET STRONG Champion HULK to face off against DESPERADOS’ Q, SAIKO and the 32nd JET World Champion JUNKO. The contest was heated right from the start as a brawl broke out but once things cooled down, DESPERADOS were able to get control and isolate Mei from her two partners. Luckily near the end of the match, she was able to get a tag to HULK who was on fire! Unfortunately Osoroshii and HULK were able to beat DESPERADOS as SAIKO scored the victory for her team in 24:11 after she hit Masumi with a Psycho Impaler.
(Winners - DESPERADOS)
Post-Match:
The crowd hated that DESPERADOS were the ones to secure the win against the team of Osoroshii and HULK. SAIKO was the first to speak as she looked right at Masumi and Mei.
SAIKO: Hey champs, what’s wrong? Did you get a little boo boo?!
SAIKO lets out a laugh as Masumi is helped out by Mei.
SAIKO: You’re gonna be hurt even more when we take your JET Tag Championship away from you all. Isn’t that right, JUNKO?
JUNKO: That’s right! Because here is our little challenge. You two vs. us at Stardust Dream for those JET Tag Team Championship and maybe to spice up the challenge, I’ll put this title on the line in the tag match as well. Whichever one of you two gets the win for your team, will be JET World Champion.
JUNKO raises her championship in the air for all to see.
JUNKO: So what do you say, champs?
Despite her partner being hurt, Mei gladly nods to accept the challenge from The Swarm. Soon Q is allowed to speak as she’s handed the mic from JUNKO.
Q: And HULK, don’t think I’ve forgotten about you! I’ll be seeing you at Stardust Dream as well, ready to take your prized possession.
HULK stands tall and stoic as she doesn’t seem scared at all about who her next challenger is. Once Osoroshii and HULK leave for the backstage area, JUNKO is given back the mic as she speaks.
JUNKO: So Korakuen Hall, did you all wish that DESPERADOS would have died at Stardust Dream? Well too bad because DESPERADOS is forever and immortal! AND I WILL FOREVER REIGN AS THE 32ND JET WORLD CHAMPION! DESPERADOS AND I WILL NEVER DIE AS LONG AS JET EXISTS!
“The Only Thing I Know for Real ( Man. Agen / Instr )” by Jamie Christopherson as the crowd let out their hate with boos as the DESPERADOS trio stand tall in the ring to close the show.
