(We open with an empty Nippon Budokan, a small spotlight over the cerulean blue ring set up that JET uses. We soon hear the loud chants that once echoed through the Budokan, names of legends, superstars and many others are being screamed at the top of the lungs from the fans. Soon a voiceover clip plays over the shot of the empty Budokan.)

(“Akai Wana” blasts at full volume as the video package ends and we cut to a show of a live Nippon Budokan. The packed crowd in attendance as we now cut to our ringside table where Hanako Nakamoto and Maki Fujioka are adjusting their headsets.)
Maki Fujioka: It’s now time for the day that gets every JET fan excited, the peak of JET’s calendar year, a once-in-a-year event! It’s time for Cinderella Story to take place.

And it seems that we’re about start right now with the Trios Championship match!
(We cut to ringside as we get a shot of Asuka Kuramochi ready to go!)
Asuka Kuramochi: The following tag match is scheduled for one fall and it is for the Trios Championship!
("Amida no Ito" by DracoVirgo plays as the team of Tomoyo Hirate, Natsu Toyama, and “NEON” Rio Kurokawa walk out. The fans are giving a positive reception as all three favorites make their way to the ring. As they climb into the ring, the announcer makes the introductions)
Asuka Kuramochi: First, currently in the right! The team of Tomoyo Hirate, Natsu Toyama, and “NEON” Rio Kurokawa!
Hanako Nakamoto: One of the most unique pairings we’ve seen in a while, but each one of these women has some sort of tag team experience.
Maki Fujioka: With Natsu being a last minute replacement, they’re going to have to rely on each other’s natural instincts.
(“Sick like Me” by In This Moment plays as The Blondetourage - Corrina Grey, Virginia Atwood, and Vanessa Santiago walk out. Each member look at the crowd and their opponents within disgust as the walk towards the ring with the Trios titles over their shoulders.)
Asuka Kuromochi: Their opponents and your current JET Trios Champions! Corrina Grey, Vanessa Santiago, and Virginia Atwood - The Blondetourage!
Hanako Nakamoto: The Blondetourage has been a dominant force this whole season! With the alliance of Candice Blair, these women make it their purpose to one day dominate JET with an iron fist!
Maki Fujioka: They’ve made it their purpose to bully everyone in their path! It’s good to see their reign being contested, though they are very talented individuals.
(The Blondetourage hands the ref their belts and walk over to their corner. Both teams talk among themselves to see who will start things off!)
(Ding Ding Ding!)
The ref calls for the bell and Corrina Grey starts things off for her team against Tomoyo Hirate. The two women square off in the center of the ring to tie-up. Tomoyo tries to overcome her foe with by the book technical prowess, but Corrina uses her size to her advantage. Hirate explodes off the ropes and tries for a flying European uppercut, but Grey remains on her feet. Tomoyo refuses to back down and spins around for a rolling elbow smash! Corrina barely moves! Feeling frustrated, Tomoyo hits the ropes and goes for another charging attack, but it’s interrupted by a running dropkick! The crowd is amazed by Corrina’s agility! Grey picks her opponent up by the hair and delivers a thunderous belly to back suplex! Pleased with herself, Corrina whips Tomoyo to her team’s corner. She follows this up with a running bicycle that nearly takes off Hirate’s head!
Hanako Nakamoto: Corrina Grey is dominating early in the match! She’s tagging in Virginia Atwood to carry the momentum.
Maki Fujioka: This is a smart move by The Blondetourage. They’re spreading around the offense to keep everyone fresh.
Virginia Atwood starts pulling at Tomoyo’s hair with a boot pressed against her face. Hirate struggles to fight back, but Virginia reacts by attacking her repeatedly with stiff elbows to the face. Hirate still remains defiant which angers Virginia enough to smack her across the face! Natsu and Kurokawa demand justice as they yell at the ref to pay attention. Virginia tags in Vanessa Santiago who unloads a series of shoot kicks to the chest. She follows this up with an amazing tornado suplex out of the corner! She attempts a cover, but Tomoyo kicks out at two. She switches tactics and starts assaulting her shoulder with a series of arm-trap elbow strikes! She attempts a double-arm DDT but Tomoyo digs deep by countering with a back body drop! Natsu and Rio egg their partner on as she crawls towards her team’s corner. Vanessa attempts to grab the leg but gets kicked in the face. Tomoyo dives forward and tags in Natsu who jumps over the ropes and explodes into the ring like a speeding bullet!
Hanako Nakamoto: Natsu races across the canvas and nails Vanessa with a front dropkick!
Maki Fujioka: Natsu hits Corrina with a springboard enzuigiri and Virginia with a swift shoot kick! Both women have knocked off the apron!
Natsu climbs up to the top rope and waits for Vanessa to get to her feet. Missile dropkick! Natsu follows up with her Cat's Cradle (Rolling Leg-Hook Cradle) in an effort to get her to tap out. Virginia slides in and breaks the submission in time. Rio enters the ring and tosses Virginia out of the ring again before the ref forces her back to her team’s corner. Natsu picks up Vanessa and whips her to the ropes! Vanessa counters with a single leg takedown and changes the course of the match with a single leg Boston Crab! Natsu reaches out for the ropes and starts to crawl, but Vanessa pulls her back to the center of the ring. Natsu feels like she’s about to tap, but doesn’t want to. Tomoyo and Rio attempt to break the hold, but Corrina catches them out of nowhere with a double clothesline! Natsu grabs at Corrina’s leg to pull herself up. Grey starts kicking at her, making her fall down! Corrina swings wildly, but Natsu ducks in time. Corrina grabs her and lands The Bend N’ Snap (Cradle DDT)!! She then throws Vanessa on top of Natsu for the count.
Referee: One….Two-
Hanako Nakamoto: Natsu kicks out at two! Corrina is freaking out, but the ref demands for her to go back to her corner.
Maki Fujioka: Meanwhile, Vanessa is hitting the canvas in frustration! She picks up Natsu and performs a tomoenage!
Natsu is holding her lower back in pain, wincing from the judo throw that was performed on her. Vanessa grabs her by the hair and drags her to the corner to tag in Corrina! The Gun for Hire gets into the ring and starts delivering repeated knee drops to her opponent's head! Natsu looks stunned as Corrina climbs the top rope. She prepares herself and leaps off the top rope to deliver a Frog Splash, but hits the canvas hard when Natsu rolls out of the way in time! As Corrina lays stunned on the floor, Natsu crawls towards her team corner and tags in Rio Kurokawa aka NEON! She explodes from the corner and scores a running roundhouse as Corrina gets to her feet! She stumbles into her corner where Virginia tags herself in! NEON doesn’t see the tag and is purely focused on delivering vicious strikes to the face, legs, and gut! Virginia catches her off guard with a diving high kick to the face! She picks her up and delivers the Killer Bomb (Ganso bomb)!!! Virginia isn’t done! She locks in Little Boy (Cross arm breaker)!! Rio is screaming in pain, trying to not tap out. Natsu and Tomoyo come into the ring to break the submission!
Hanako Nakamoto: Corrina and Vanessa get back into the ring! Rolling elbow to the face of Corrina by Tomoyo!
Maki Fujioka: Last Surprise! Natsu connects with the sling blade on Vanessa!
As Rio’s teammates kick Corrina and Vanessa out of the ring, Rio locks in her own armbar finisher (Kowareta) to force the submission victory.
(Winner AND NEW JET Trios Champions - Rio Kurokawa, Natsu Toyama, and Tomoyo Hirate)
(Winner AND NEW JET Trios Champions - Rio Kurokawa, Natsu Toyama, and Tomoyo Hirate)
Asuka Kuramochi: Your winners by submission AND NEW JET TRIOS CHAMPIONS! The team of Rio Kurokawa, Natsu Toyama, and Tomoyo Hirate!
Hanako Nakamoto: We have new champions! Rio managed to make Virginia Atwood tap to score the submission victory!
Maki Fujioka: This must be a magical moment for this ragtag team of girls! Especially with Natsu as the last minute replacement!
Hanako Nakamoto: Congratulations to these girls for winning the Trios titles on JET’s biggest stage!
(A shot of Natsu, Rio, and Tomoyo all together in the ring celebrating their title win is the last we see before commercial. After the match we cut to a commercial of Lethal Hearts featuring a massive TLC match for the Lethal Tag Team Championship and the finals of the Lethal Angels Championship tournament between Revy and Roni De Vil.)
(We return to ringside as Asuka Kuromachi is ready to go for our next contest of the evening.)
Asuka Kuramochi: The following contest is a special singles match set for one fall with a 20-minute time limit!
(“Rising Hope” by LiSA plays as the crowd begin to cheer, out from the back arrives Momoko Honda. She looks around for a bit before taking a deep breath and makes her way down to the ring.)
Asuka Kuramochi: Introducing first! From Kyoto, Japan… she weighed in tonight at 51 Kilograms! SHE IS THE STAR WARRIOR! HONDA MOMOKOOOOO!!!
(Momoko slides under the ring and poses for the crowd who throw blue streamers into the ring.)
Maki Fujioka: Arguably one of the girls with the biggest upside on the JET roster, Momoko Honda is just 18. One of the youngest roster members in JET and she is getting a massive opportunity, a match against JET’s president and one of the best wrestlers in the world at this point.
Hanako Nakamoto: Azumi Goto said this herself, this match is Momoko’s trial. This is to see if the young star warrior can handle being at the top of JET, competing against the much more experienced talent we have.
(Momoko begins to stretch, preparing for the upcoming match as “Rising Hope” is replaced with “Surprise Drive” by Mitsuru Matsuoka EARNEST DRIVE, the crowd continues their cheers as Azumi Goto makes her entrance with the crowd with her signature tiger mask and entrance robe along with her purple attire. That isn’t all as Azumi has her OWA World Women’s Championship around her waist. Azumi soon enters the ring and takes off her mask to pose for the crowd.)
Asuka Kuramochi: And her opponent! From Yonabaru, Okinawa, Japan… She weighed in tonight at 57 Kilograms! SHE IS THE ACE OF WOMEN’S WRESTLING AND THE OWA WOMEN’S WORLD CHAMPION! GOTOOOOO AZUMIIIIIII!!!!
(The crowd begins to throw purple and white streamers as the JET President hands her title to referee Hana Oikawa who passes it to ringside. Azumi begins to take off her entrance gear and passes it off to the young girls at ringside.)
Hanako Nakamoto: It’s always nice to Azumi competing but the real question is how she must be doing as she had a title defense just hours ago at OWA’s Odyssey Supershow Pluto’s Gate. Momoko has a great advantage, she’s fresh but we will have to see if Honda is able to handle this big time pressure. And here we go as referee Hana Oikawa is calling for the bell to get tonight’s special singles bout underway!
(DING DING DING!!)
The match begins with Azumi and Momoko shaking hands, the two competitors showing respect for one another. Both Azumi and Momoko now circle the ring, waiting for the other make the first move but to the surprise of everyone, Momoko rushes Azumi and begins to lay her with forearms! The crowd siding with Momoko as she continues her assault, Azumi is pushed back into a corner as Momo-chan now rushes the opposite corner before running back towards Azumi but the Ace had it scouted as she charges right to Momoko hitting the young star with a front dropkick, halting her momentum. A cover by Azumi but it’s only able to get one count, Goto now begins to stomp at Momoko Honda to boos from the Budokan crowd which might be a first in a long time. Momo heads to the bottom rope as Azumi now picks up the young star warrior, only to bring her back down with a slam. Another cover by Azumi but Momoko kicks out. The Hana Oikawa has to pull away Azumi to check on Momoko.
Maki Fujioka: Azumi is definitely in much more aggressive mood than we usually see her in, right Hanako-san?
Hanako Nakamoto: Well she herself said it, this is Momoko’s trial match, so there won’t be any point on why she would go lightly on the Star Warrior.
Momo is on her back as now Azumi begins to work on Momoko’s leg by driving her elbow into Momoko’s left knee. She now converts this to leg hold and soon grabs Momoko by her hair to slap her across the face while she is still down. More boos are heard as Azumi doesn’t seem to care, this is a trial match and she wants to see if Momoko is ready or not. Azumi begins to tell Momoko to get up and show her that she is ready. Momo-chan is slow to get up but she responds to Azumi with a forearm, that lightly stuns Azumi who responds with one of her own. Momo doesn’t go down as she responds with another forearm but once again it lightly fazes JET’s President. Azumi now hits another forearm to Momoko before tossing her out of the ring. Azumi now begins to play to the crowd runs to the opposite rope and back! She’s looking for a suicide dive but Momoko stopped it by sliding under the ropes and catching a rebounding Azumi with a kick right to her face! Momoko now with a cover on Azumi but it only gets her a one count from Referee Hana Oikawa!
Maki Fujioka: Momoko now has a big chance to turn this match around! Azumi Goto had a majority of the offense in the beginning but this could be huge for the Star Warrior!
Hanako Nakamoto: You’re right! Momoko has to take this chance and attack! She needs to take advantage of this opportunity right now in the match.
Momoko Honda now gets her older opponent up and begins to light Azumi up with shoot kicks to the chest! Momoko’s kick pad clashing with Azumi’s chest can probably be heard in the cheap seats of the Budokan. Azumi is pushed into the corner as Momoko now Irish-Whips her opponent to the opposite corner but Azumi is able to reverse it sending Momoko into the opposite corner. The Star Warrior is able to use this to her advantage as she gets on to the middle turnbuckle and hit the charging Azumi with diving double knees from the middle rope! Momo-chan now goes to the cover but Azumi is able to kick out at two!
Maki Fujioka: Momoko getting a close fall there as now she definitely in control! We might be seeing Momo-chan on her way to winning this bout right now,
Momoko gets Azumi up as she begins to hit more shoot kicks at the chest of Azumi but she’s able to respond to those kicks with forearms. Azumi is going berserk, laying into the Momoko Honda with vicious strikes! Azumi now stops as she begins to yell at Momoko to fight back! Soon the Star Warrior responds with her own set of Forearms! She’s able to get Azumi away but the Ace charges back in only to get knocked cold by a rolling elbow from Momoko! Azumi is down to her knees as Momoko lets out a roar before charging in for a Tsunami Strike! Shinning Wizard from Momoko connects as the crowd is on their feet!
Hana Oikawa: ONEEEEEEEE!!!! TWOOOOOOO!!!!! THREEEE----
Azumi kicks out! Momoko is shocked as Hana Oikawa confirms with her that Azumi kicked out at two! Momoko now tries to regroup as she yells Azumi who is crawling to a corner. The Star Warrior begins to rush in but it seems Azumi had it scouted, she’s able to use Momoko’s momentum against her and get a drop toe hold. Momo is sent face first into the middle turnbuckle as Azumi now has the advantage! She wastes no time rushing to the opposite corner and back, hitting Momoko with a brutal looking Shinkansen Attack (Running Double Knees) to the back of the head! Azumi quickly pulls Momoko up and hits the Star Warrior now with a Snap German Suplex! Momoko is on her knees as Azumi rushes in with another Shinkansen Attack! This time the double knees land right on Momoko’s face! COVER BY AZUMI!
Hana Oikawa: ONEEEEEEEEE!!!!! TWOOOOOOOOO!!!!! THREEEE----
Maki Fujoka: Oh my god! Momoko kicked out! Momoko Honda is still alive after two brutal running double knees and that Snap German Suplex! Now Azumi is in shock as she really she had Momoko done for.
Hanako Nakamoto: I think we’re seeing a great new side of Momoko Honda as she has everything to gain with this match. I think Momoko is also busted open from the Double Knees. My god she is,
The referee soon pulls Azumi away to check on Momoko, who seems to have been busted open lightly. Azumi begins to calm herself down as she heads to a corner and stomps her foot down! She is calling for the Heaven’s Flash Kick! Momo is slow to get up but she is eventually up to her feet as Azumi runs at her! Heaven’s Flash---NO! Momo ducks the Superkick and begins to light up Azumi with a barrage of kicks! The Dance Of Many Stars combination connects as Momoko goes for the Roundhouse to the head but Azumi is able to duck the kick and catch Momoko with the Last Surprise (Slingblade)!
Azumi quickly goes to the nearest corner and up to the top rope! She’s in position for her signature moonsault! Azumi leaps! FINAL VENT MOONSAULT---NO! MOMOKO GOT HER KNEES UP! HONDA NOW ROLLS UP AZUMI GOTO! SHE’S GOT HER IN A PINNING PREDICAMENT!
Hana Oikawa: ONEEEEEEEE!!!! TWOOOOOOOOO!!!! THREEEE!!!!
So close but Azumi kicks out before Hana can fully count the three! Both women are back to their feet as Momoko now goes for a wild Roundhouse Kicks but Azumi ducks before stepping up and hitting a Heaven’s Flash Kick! Azumi just connected with her signature Superkick as Momoko isn’t down, she’s on her knees. Azumi rushes one more time and this time lands a Heaven’s Flash kick to the kneeling Momoko. The end is near as now Azumi rushes to the top turnbuckle one more! FINAL VENT MOONSAULT FROM AZUMI GOTO, SHE LANDS HER FINISHING BLOW AND GOES STRAIGHT INTO THE COVER!
Hana Oikawa: ONEEEEEEE!!!! TWOOOOOOOO!!!! THREEEEEEE!!!!!
(DING DING DING!!!)
(Winner - Azumi Goto)
(“Surprise Drive” plays as Azumi gets off Momoko and has her arm raised by Hana Oikawa. Meanwhile, young girls help Momoko to her feet as she is slowly regaining consciousness.
Asuka Kuramochi: Ladies and Gentlemen! Your winner by pinfall… GOTOOOOO AZUMIIIIII!!!!
Maki Fujioka: Absolutely amazing! A classic match was put on by these two women right here, Momoko had Azumi in multiple pinning situations, an amazing amount of fighting spirit from Momoko but the experience of Azumi Goto helped her secure the win.
Hanako Nakamoto: You’re right and it seems that Azumi has some words for Momoko as she has a microphone.
(Azumi now begins to get closer to Momoko who seems to be on her knees, Azumi begins to place on her head on Momoko’s head.)
Azumi Goto: Amazing Job, Momo-Chan! You really showed not only me but the world that you can handle being in a big match situation. I see big things now from you, Kiddo. Get stronger and show the whole world that untapped potential.
(Momoko nods as Azumi brings her in close for a hug before raising her up and raising her hand. The two women share a moment in the ring as the camera cuts to commercial)
(Commercial Break featuring the brand new Wrestling United Encyclopedia! Want to check out the histories of multiple promotions then check them out!)
(We return back to ringside with Asuka ready to go for the next match.)
Asuka Kuramochi: The following match is scheduled for one fall with a 20-time limit and is the final of the Biggest Dreamer Tournament!
(“Lolita” by Lana Del Rey plays as Mitra Marvel walks out, smiling and waving at her “Senshi-gun” in the audience. She slides into the ring and does a ‘V’ pose as streams fall around her)
Asuka Kuramochi: Hailing from Reno, Nevada! Weighing in at 130lbs…”The Solar Senshi” Mitra Marvel!
Hanako Nakamoto: Mitra had quite the year full of wins and losses. But no matter what, her supporters will always be behind her.
Maki Fujioka: Mitra wanted to challenge Midori and I can say the true winners at the end of the day are the people!
(“Ashes” by Lynch plays as Midori Miyamoto walks out, adjusting her wrist guards. She makes her way to the ring with a serious expression on her face.)
Hanako Nakamoto: Midori means business tonight. This match may not be for the title, but it’s still important nevertheless.
‘
Maki Fujioka: This match is about honor, nothing more, nothing less. You can't forget that a future title shot is on line!
Asuka Kuramochi: From Sacramento, California! Weighing in 127lbs… “The Hybrid Dragon” Midori Miyamoto!
(Midori spins around and raises a single fist in the air as streamers fall around her. As the young girls clean up the ring, both women wait in their respective corners)
(DING!)
The ref calls for the bell and both women lock up in the middle of the ring. Midori Miyamoto's chain wrestling seems to dominate the opening minute of the match, but Mitra catches her off guard with her own technical prowess. After a brief back and forth Irish whip sequence, Mitra catches Midori off guard with a leapfrog, transitioned into a one-handed bulldog! She follows this up with a handspring moonsault for an early pin. Midori kicks out with ease and kips up. Mitra stares back in surprise as Midori pounds her chest. The two lock up once more, and after several back and forth transitions, Midori catches Mitra in a waistlock and delivers a bridging German suplex. Mitra kicks out at two, shocked by the sudden shift in momentum. Midori grins at her opponent and adopts a fighting stance. The two go back and forth with a series of arm drags until Midori attempts to follow up with an arm drag, causing Mitra to slip away. Midori allows Mitra to get back to her feet.
Hanako Nakamoto: What respect of mutual strength between these two. We're going to have a classic on our hands.
Maki Fujioka: There's another tie-up and Midori whips Mitra to the ropes! Arm Drag! Mitra cartwheels out of the hold and counters with a discus elbow smash. Midori is knocked down but avoids the senton splash!
Midori counters with Risky Business (La Magistral), but Mitra kicks out at two. Both women get to their feet, but Mitra acts first with a bridging Northern lights suplex! Midori kicks out at two and scrambles up. She counters Mitra’s strike with an arm drag into an armbar! Mitra doesn’t escape so easily and instead rolls backward to slip out of the hold. Midori anticipated this and catches a kneeling Mitra with a knee lift! She hits the ropes and attempts a penalty kick, but Mitra rolls out of the ring to avoid getting hit. Midori springboards off the ropes and lands a beautiful moonsault upon Mitra! Midori grabs her and rams Mitra into the barricade! As the ref starts the count, Miyamoto takes a moment to catch her breath, her eyes deciding what to do next. As Midori approaches her opponent, a defiant Mitra starts fighting back, hitting Midori in the gut. Miyamoto fires back with a stiff knife edge chop across the chest, knocking the wind out of Mitra! Midori drags her back to the ring but Mitra uses what energy she has to slam Midori against the ring apron!
Hanako Nakamoto: No matter what Midori seems to be throwing at her, Mitra is giving it her all!
Maki Fujioka: Mitra isn’t going down without a fight! This burning vigor from the Solar Senshi is really impressive!
Mitra weakly rolls Midori into the ring and attempts a pin, but Miyamoto easily kicks out. Mitra hits the mat in frustration and pulls Midori up who takes a chance and counters with a backdrop driver! She follows up with a modified double under hook crossface, which she has locked tight! Mitra tries to free herself, but Midori refuses, using every ounce of heer strength to try and tap her out! Miyamoto pushes her feet against the ropes forcing her and Mitra away from the ropes with a backroll. Mitra uses the momentum to lift Midori into a half-nelson suplex! Mitra attempts a weak bridge, but Miyamoto kicks out of it with ease. Both women lie on the mat, wondering what to do next. They each get to their feet with a new found sense of determination. Midori strikes Mitra with a hard shoot kick to the side of her leg. Mitra strikes back with an elbow smash, but Midori quickly sidesteps and strike back with a hard shoot kick to the elbow. Mitra stumbles back in pain and Midori attempts another one and catches the Marvelous One in the face, knocking her out onto the apron. Midori attempts to seize the moment, but a determined Mitra flips into the ring with a vicious Sunny Side Up (Slingshot somersault lariat) from out of nowhere!
Hanako Nakamoto: Mitra Marvel showing the world the true meaning of her namesake! She’s taking whatever Midori throws at her and is returning it tenfold!
Maki Fujioka: Midori’s stunned! She’s wondering how far she has to go to defeat her opponent!
Mitra crawls over to Midori and grabs her, in an attempt to finisher her off, but Midori resists. The two end up struggling against the ropes where Mitra is pushed out to the apron and pulled halfway in for a rope hung DDT! Feeling back in control of herself and the match, Midori gets to her feet and lets out a roar for all to hear! She gestures for Mitra to get to her feet and unleashes BURNING (Two alternating slaps, followed by a right-hand palm strike)! Mitra staggers about as Midori delivers the finishing blow...Shattercryst (Jumping Roundhouse) for the decisive victory!
(Winner - Midori Miyamoto)
Asuka Kuramochi: Your winner by pinfall and holder of the first Biggest Dreamer Tournament Trophy...Midori Miyamoto!
(“Ashes” by Lynch plays as we see the crowd cheer Midori’s victory.)
Hanako Nakamoto: It took everything in her, but Miyamoto came out on top! There were moments where I thought she wouldn’t be able to recover, but she proved her doubters wrong!
Maki Fujioka: Mitra is helping up Midori...and is shaking her hand! Both women are in tears of joy as they show each other respect! The fans are cheering for their display of sportsmanship! Not every story tonight is about titles, retirements, or blood feuds! JET is the place where the best test themselves to take themselves to the next level, as we just witnessed!
(Midori is celebrating her big win as we now to a video highlighting the feud between Ai Moe and Candice Blair. Their first encounter at RISE Together Tournament that saw Ai Moe pin Candice Blair, the first match at Goddess Dream where the introduction of Candice’s Bodyguard Corrina Grey costed Ai the Academy Championship. The story of Ai Moe being on the receiving end of Blondetourage’s assault with Ai being injured and losing their Trios Championship. We soon continue to a shot of Ai Moe making a surprise return at Collision Course, saving Midori Miyamoto from being assaulted after her own with Candice. We fast forward to now, the final match and revenge for Ai Moe as Candice tries to continue her historic title reign. The video package ends as we return back to ringside!)
Asuka Kuramochi: The following match is scheduled for one fall and it is for the JET Academy Championship!
(“DAOKO” plays as Ai Moe walks out and makes her way to the ring as she’s supported by her fans)
Asuka Kuramochi: From Mito, Irabaki! Weighing in at 100lbs…”The Love Queen” Ai! Moe!
Hanako Nakamoto: After trial and tribulation Ai Moe gets her shot at Candice Blair! Will she come out on top, or suffer one more blowback in her career?
(As Ai waves to her fans and blow kisses in the ring, “Mic Drop” by BTS plays as Candice Blair walks out, with the JET Academy Championship over her shoulder. She wastes no time sliding into the ring and finds the nearest corner to raise her belt triumphantly)
Asuka Kuramochi: From Long Beach, CA! Weighing in at 126lbs! “The Self-Proclaimed Ace of JET” Candice! Blair!
Maki Fujioka: “Self-Proclaimed” huh? Hmph.
(Ding!)
As soon as the match begins, Candice keeps a distance from Ai, who tries to close in on her opponent. Candice slides out of the ring, taunting Ai from the outside. This prompts Ai to chase after her ringside. Candice slides in and hits the ropes. As soon as Ai slides inside, she attacks Candice with a spinning heel kick. Candice ducks under and hits a snapdragon suplex! As Ai rolls towards to corner, Blair charges to the opposite corner and charges back towards her opponent to set up her signature Little Bit of Blair (Handspring and elbow to a cornered opponent). Ai slips out to the apron and counters with a rope hung armbar as soon as Blair hits the ropes. Ai holds onto the submission until the ref counts to five. Ai lets go and drops down ringside where she pulls out a vulnerable Candice and whips her into the stairs. A physically beaten Blair is shocked by the acts of aggression by the normally cheerful Ai Moe. Moe drags Candice alongside the apron and slams her face against it. Candice stumbles away, stunned. As soon as Ai gets close to her, she gouges the eyes and throws Moe against the barricade!
Hanako Nakamoto: Candice Blair is going to need every trick in the book to escape Ai Moe’s wrath!
Maki Fujioka: This is all on her! She tested this woman’s patience one too many times! Ai seems determined to win the JET Academy title by any means!
As Ai struggles to get back up, Candice starts taunting her by pushing her foot against Moe’s face. Ai struggles to fight back, but Candice doesn’t allow her to and shuts down her offense with a snap suplex! Feeling comfortable with fighting outside, Candice slides back into the ring and hits the ropes. As soon as Moe’s on her feet, Candice flies over the ropes to land a gorgeous tope con hilo onto her opponent! As Moe lies down and out, Candice poses for the crowd who only responds with boos. She gingerly lets out a giggle and picks up Ai by the air. She starts yelling at Ai, claiming how she’s nothing and that she’ll never be able to beat her. Ai replies with a Shotei palm strike to the jaw! Candice stumbles back into the apron and Moe follows up with a superkick to the face! Visibly stunned, Candice finds herself rolled into the ring. Feeling in control, Ai slowly picks her up and blows Candice a kiss! She then applies her signature Pleasure in the Pain (Abdominal Stretch)! Candice does her best to fight out of it, but Ai has a strong grip! To embarrass her opponent further, she starts slapping Candice on her butt, causing the audience to ‘ooo’ and ‘ahhh’
Hanako Nakamoto: Ai is playing to the crowd as Candice is doing her best to fight out of the hold!
Maki Fujioka: Ai is giving Candice a taste of her own medicine! And judging from what I’m seeing, it looks like she doesn’t like it when the shoe is on the other foot!
Instead of forcing a submission, Ai lifts Candice in the airplane spin position. As Ai spins, Candice slips out of the hold and catches Ai off guard with an acrobatic enzuigiri to the face! With Ai’s back to Blair, she seizes the moment and hits a deadly reverse frankensteiner! Candice falls over Ai for the cover! Ai kicks out at two, much to Blair’s disappointment. As Candice starts yelling at the ref, Ai crawls towards the ropes and gets to her feet. Candice sees this and runs towards Moe. She slides under a lariat to the apron, where she springboards off the ropes and catches Moe in a sunset flip for the pin. Moe kicks out at 2-and-a-half, causing Blair to become even more irate. She grabs Moe and applies the Ava Lock (Modified STF)! Moe’s screaming in pain, fighting to get out! Candice ruthlessly keeps the hold locked in, determined to make her opponent tap, no matter what! Ai digs deep, using every ounce of strength she has to break free.
Hanako Nakamoto: Ai Moe just might tap! She’s fighting, but Candice shows no signs of letting go!
Maki Fujioka: Moe looks like she’s about to tap! Wait! She’s breaking free!
Somehow, Moe breaks free from the hold and grabs onto the ropes. Candice attempts to go on the offensive, but the ref warns her to create space between her and her opponent. Using this as an opportunity, Ai dashes forward to unleash the Ai Blitz (brief and fast combo of kicks and strikes ending in a Pele kick)! Candice fails the block most of the strikes, but evades the Pele kick! She counters with a Candy Kick (Shoot kick)! Moe falls to a knee, dazed and weak. Seeing blood in the water, Candice backs up to deliver the Avacadabra (Shining Wizard)! Ai manages to avoid the shining wizard and counters with a roll-up to nab the surprise victory! Before Candice realized what happened, Ai slides out of the ring, shocked.
(DING DING DING!)
(Winner AND NEW JET ACADEMY CHAMPION - Ai Moe!)
Asuka Kuramochi: Your winner by pinfall...and your NEW JET Academy Champion...Ai Moe!
Hanako Nakamoto: Wow! At the last second, Moe escaped certain doom to become the new JET Academy Champion!
Maki Fujioka: Candice is frozen in shock! She doesn’t believe what just happened! It’s like a bad dream! The ref is outside, handing Ai Moe the Academy Championship! Ai is just as surprised! The fans are showing their support for our tearful new champion!
Hanako Nakamoto: Can’t wait to see the fall out from this...Candice does not look pleased!
(Ai Moe celebrates her massive win by kissing her championship as we now cut to a video package for the JET World Champion feud of Kimiko Hayabusa and KAGUYA. Highlights of the two women’s previous singles match during the RISE Grand Prix tournament, a match which eliminated KAGUYA from the tournament. Continuing on we get shots of Kimiko winning the RISE Grand Prix tournament and defending it against Vanessa Santiago meanwhile KAGUYA did the unthinkable and defeated the legendary Nina Sanada for the championship itself. Their paths finally collide after Collision Course where KAGUYA and Kimiko begin to show their hatred for others. Kimiko calling KAGUYA a failed attempt from Miss Manami at a successor and KAGUYA calling Kimiko an immature over-confident child. We can see them getting in each other’s faces with the final shot of two women holding their accolade high in the air. The JET World Champion for KAGUYA and the RISE GP Briefcase for Kimiko.)
(We return to ringside as the Nippon Budokan crowd is ready to go for tonight’s semi-main event.)
Asuka Kuramochi: Ladies and Gentlemen! The following contest is set for a 30-minute time-limit AND IT IS FOR THE JET WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!
(The crowd applauds as we now get the entrance theme of the challenger playing. “Fly Again” by Man With A Mission plays as it signals the entrance of Kimiko Hayabusa who has her RISE Grand Prix Contract Briefcase in hand.)
Asuka Kuramochi: Introducing first! FROM KYOTO, JAPAN! SHE IS THE RISE GRAND PRIX WINNER AND THE PINK PRINCESS!!! HAYABUSAAAAAAA KIIIIMIIIKOOO!!!
Hanako Nakamoto: Possibly the most anticipated bout of the evening, the future of JET will be decided with the result of this match. Kimiko Hayabusa has had quite a run of form in the past couple of months ever since winning the RISE Grand Prix in October. She’s defended the briefcase against Vanessa Santiago, was a part of the winning JET team at Collision Course and now she’s got the opportunity that she has been patiently waiting for.
Maki Fujioka: It’s amazing to see her growth and now she has the opportunity to take away the JET World Championship from the grasp of KAGUYA-Gun.
(Kimiko enters the ring as her theme is replaced with “Holy War 21” as the crowd let out some boos. KAGUYA makes her entrance from the back, wearing her special white attire and has the JET World Championship around her waist. She makes her way down and doesn’t seem to care about the negative reception.)
Asuka: And her opponent! From Osaka, Japan! She is the 27th JET World Champion… THE BLACK HEARTED GENERAL! KAGUYAAAAA!!!
Hanako Nakamoto: Absolutely dominate, KAGUYA’s reign has been described as that, we have her seen defeat Nina Sanada for this belt and then successfully defend the title against Tomoyo Hirate. Every time we think someone has gotten close to beating her, she is able to retain. Now she has the biggest challenge to her reign, a determined Kimiko Hayabusa!
(KAGUYA enters the ring and immediately raises her title in the face of Kimiko Hayabusa, mouthing to her that she isn’t gonna win. Senior Official Yuri Watanabe has to pull KAGUYA away. The champ soon hands her title to the referee who holds it high in the air before handing it to ringside assistance and asking for the bell to be rung.)
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
It isn’t long before both competitors make their way to the center of the ring. KAGUYA is the first to take action. But instead of throwing a punch or a strike, she elects to give Kimiko a verbal lashing. She tells Kimiko that she is weak, that’s she’s destined to fail. Besides, if the “great” Nina Sanada and Tomoyo Hirate couldn’t beat her, how could she?
Kimiko doesn’t respond. Well, not verbally anyway...
In the blink of an eye, Kimiko steps forward and blasts KAGUYA with a savage palm strike to the jaw. That shuts KAGUYA up. And honestly? The impact of the blow surprises her as well. But Kimiko’s assault doesn’t just stop at one shot. She launches out palm strike after palm strike after palm strike. KAGUYA is left with no other option except to cover up and try to mitigate the strikes. Even still, Kimiko keeps coming forward. This causes KAGUYA to retreat to the ropes. And once that happens, the referee steps in to administer a five-count. Kimiko lets off at the count of two and takes a step back.
Nonetheless, that step back is a ploy. Kimiko lifts up her left leg and faints a kick. KAGUYA reacts, of course. But that reaction leaves her open as Kimiko pivots and connects with a stiff right middle kick to the sternum. From there, she grabs ahold of KAGUYA’s arm and attempts to shoot her into the ropes. Although she might have gotten rocked with some shots, KAGUYA has the presence of mind to reverse things and send Kimiko into the ropes. The Pink Princess rebounds and connects with a high-speed crossbody. She hooks KAGUYA’s leg and goes for the pinfall. Despite Kimiko’s heavy attack, KAGUYA is able to kick out with relative ease.
The Pink Princess is in the driver’s seat for another five minutes or so. She sends KAGUYA crashing into the turnbuckle. The JET World Champion has little time to rest as Kimiko charges in clocks her with a running forearm to the face. This allows her to sweep KAGUYA’s leg out from underneath her. And after a couple of stomps to the chest, Kimiko hits the ropes. She rebounds and hits a running push kick to the mush. KAGUYA slumps in the corner. From there, Kimiko pulls her out by her boot and goes for the pinfall once again. She receives a two-count before KAGUYA kicks out.
Sensing that the pain will continue to rain down upon her, KAGUYA puts some distance between and the challenger by rolling underneath bottom ropes. Nevertheless, that doesn’t deter a fired up Kimiko. She gets back to her feet and makes her way to the ring apron. Kimiko grabs ahold of KAGUYA’s hair and uses it to stand her back up. That’s when Kimiko lands a huge chop. Unfortunately for her, that strike seems to wake KAGUYA up. The JET World rears back and delivers thunderous chop of her own. The two begin to exchange blows, and once again, it seems that Kimiko has the advantage. She connects with a rapid-fire flurry.
It is at this point that KAGUYA realizes that she needs to grasp the momentum and hold on for dear life. She absorbs one last chop from Kimiko. Then she takes her thumbs and jams them directly into the challenger’s eyes. Instinctively, Kimiko goes to cover her face. That’s when KAGUYA takes a step forward and begins biting her forehead. All the while, the referee is admonishing the champion from the inside of the ring.
A disorientated Kimiko tried to take a step or two backward, but she gets yoked up by KAGUYA. The JET World Champion then lifts Kimiko up and drops her across the ring apron with a high-angle Uranage Slam. Particularly, Kimiko’s collarbone and shoulder area collide with the edge of the apron. The Pink Princess let out a horrendous shriek as her body crashed to the floor. She immediately clutches at her neck. The hush washes over the crowd as the fans look on.
KAGUYA takes a seat on the ring apron and watches Kimiko writhe around on the ground with a sick smirk on her face. But the picture show doesn’t last long as KAGUYA soon slides off the apron and beginnings stomping the mess of Kimiko’s neck. It’s at this point that the referee begins to administer the twenty-count. KAGUYA gives the challenger about nine stomps before she hoists up Kimiko and places her on the ring apron. She delivers a boot to Kimiko’s head before she kicks her back into the ring. KAGUYA then enters at the count fifteen.
The JET World Champion takes ahold of Kimiko and drapes her across the bottom rope. KAGUYA places a knee in the small of Kimiko’s back before she places the rope under the Pink Princess’ chin. KAGUYA then pulls back on the rope. The effect creates modified chin lock and really puts the pressure on Kimiko’s head and neck. The referee begins to count; KAGUYA lets go before the count of five.
Seven to eight minutes are filled with KAGUYA working on Kimiko’s neck. She pulls the Pink Princess away from the ropes and locks on a grounded sleeper hold. She makes sure to crank and twist Kimiko’s neck for added insult. The pain is intense; it’s plastered over Kimiko’s anguished face. However, challenger refuses to give up. No—she’s come too far. She begins to think of an escape route. Her hands wrap themselves around KAGUYA’s arms. Kimiko tugs for dear life. Eventually, she is able to break the submission hold. Kimiko catches KAGUYA in the jaw with a back-elbow as she rolls away tries to gain some space. That elbow stuns KAGUYA for a moment, but she recovers nicely. KAGUYA runs, jumps into the air, and crushes Kimiko with a senton. The JET World Champion waists little time getting to her; then she shoots herself into the ropes. She rebounds, leaps into the air again, and hits a flipping leg drop senton. KAGUYA’s leg hits Kimiko in the back of the neck, of course. She rolls the challenger over and goes for the pinfall…
But Kimiko’s championship aspirations won’t fade so easily. She twists her body, which allows her to get her right shoulder off of the mat. KAGUYA gives the challenger a look. She seems to be surprised at Kimiko’s determination. But that surprised fades away as KAGUYA stands to her feet. She grabs Kimiko’s neck and uses it to pull her to a vertical base. From there, KAGUYA attempts to lift Kimiko onto her shoulder. Perhaps she is thinking a Samoan drop? Nonetheless, the Pink Princess has other plans. She drills KAGUYA with elbows to the dome until the Black Heart General is forced to drop her. Kimiko holds her neck as she turns her back to KAGUYA. However, she grits her teeth, flips backwards and hits KAGUYA with an overhead Pele kick. KAGUYA hits the mat. Kimiko is slow to make the cover. But once she does, she drapes her right arm over KAGUYA’s chest. A two-count is reached before KAGUYA kicks out.
It takes her a little while, but Kimiko is able to make it to her feet. KAGUYA is soon to follow. While still holding her neck, Kimiko shoots herself into the ropes. Although she might be hurt, her speed is still impressive. She rebounds and knocks KAGUYA into the nearest turnbuckle corner with her Princess Peach hip-attack. It isn’t long before she charges in connects with a corner lariat. KAGUYA stumbles out of the corner.
At this point, the crowd begins to perks up a bit. They sense Kimiko about to turn the tides. But that sense of hope quickly dissipates as KAGUYA regains her composure and puts on a standing neck crank. However, Kimiko’s ring presence allows her to backpedal until she is able to wrap her leg around the middle ropes. The referee comes in and makes KAGUYA break the hold. But the punishment isn’t over yet. KAGUYA pulls Kimiko away from the ropes and spins her around. That’s when she delivers a wicked rolling elbow to the back of the challenger’s neck. Kimiko’s legs get weak. But KAGUYA grabs ahold of her arms before she can drop to the mat. It isn’t long before KAGUYA plants her with a high elevation dragon suplex. She bridges into a pin...
But Kimiko manages to kick out once again. A look of frustration washes across KAGUYA’s face as she slams her fists to the mat. She then takes that fist and punches Kimiko in the head. From there, KAGUYA gets back to her feet and lifts Kimiko up. It looks as if KAGUYA is going for another suplex, but Kimiko is able to push her away. Kimiko let go of her neck long enough to connect with a nasty rolling solebutt kick to KAGUYA’s stomach. She then goes on to light the JET World Champion up with shoot kicks to the legs and chest. A stern roundhouse puts KAGUYA on dream street; it allows Kimiko to run towards the ropes. Kimiko leaps onto the middle rope and flips backward with a beautiful moonsault. Unfortunately, KAGUYA is a thinker. As Kimiko soars through the air, KAGUYA lifts up her right arm. She slams her forearm into Kimiko’s neck while she’s in the air. Kimiko drops to the mat like a sack of vegetables. KAGUYA drops down and goes for the pinfall. It would be enough to put a normal woman down. However, Kimiko’s will just won’t die. She turns and lifts her shoulder off the mat, breaking the count.
KAGUYA makes it back to her feet. She looks down at Kimiko, who is holding her neck and trying to get back up. The Black Heart General nods her head. She knows what has to be done. She grabs Kimiko by the head and lifts her up, only to knee her in the stomach. She begins to set Kimiko up for that Gotch-Piledriver. But as she elevates the challenger, Kimiko drives the heel of her boot into KAGUYA’s face. This forces KAGUYA to drop her. Kimiko follows up by kicking KAGUYA in the knee. This allows her to nail a vicious kneeling roundhouse. KAGUYA is dazzled and wobbly. Still holding her neck, Kimiko shoots herself into ropes and hits step-up knee strike to KAGUYA’s chin. She pushes KAGUYA to the mat and goes for the pinfall. She receives a two-count. A few seconds pass before KAGUYA returns to a knee. Kimiko shoots herself into the ropes once more. She rebounds and hits a hurricanrana driver; the Pink Princess likes to call it the Bow Down. Again, she turns KAGUYA over and goes for the pin. The crowd begins to go wild, believing that Kimiko has sealed the deal. However, KAGUYA lifts up her shoulder at the last possible second.
Kimiko breathes in deeply as she holds her neck. She knows what she needs to do. Kimiko gets to her feet; from there, she lifts KAGUYA up. Once more, Kimiko starts to light the JET World Champion up with strikes. A back hook kick lands flush on KAGUYA’s chin. This allows Kimiko to slowly ascend to the top rope. She glances back at KAGUYA, who has just begun to rise. Kimiko leaps into the air and twists for her Falcon’s Flight Phoenixrana—
And KAGUYA counters it into a powerbomb!
She presses Kimiko’s shoulders to the mat and goes directly into the cover. The referee’s hand nearly hits the mat for the third time, but Kimiko is able to kick out!
However, KAGUYA had already devised a plan. She pulled Kimiko up to her feet and kneed her in the stomach. The shot doubles Kimiko over. KAGUYA then clubs her opponent in the neck two times before she grabs Kimiko and yokes her up. That Gotch-Piledriver connects. KAGUYA goes into the pin. The referee’s hand slaps the mat three times. The referee calls for the bell.
(DING DING DING!!!)

Senior Official Yuri Watanabe now begins to signal ringside to ring the bell as the main event is underway!)
(DING DING DING!)
Both women circle the ring for a bit as the starts to chant for both Nina and Mizuki. The two of them soon come closer as they get into a collar elbow tie-up but to no success for either as the other won’t budge. Nina willing to break the hold as the two of them circle the ring for a bit more and try another collar-elbow tie up, this time Nina is able to get the advantage, slowly pushing Mizuki to the ropes. Referee Yuri Watanabe comes over and Nina to release the hold with a clean break. Nina does so as she simply backs off before telling Mizuki to come at her. Mizuki begins to slowly make her way back to the center of the ring as Nina wants another lock up. Mizuki goes along with it only to duck underneath for a waistlock. Nakata now attempts to go for a German Suplex but Nina is able to keep herself from being suplexed as she reverses and gets Mizuki now trapped in a waistlock. Nina gets a success waistlock takedown and begins to apply pressure by getting a hold of Mizuki’s right hand and adds a hammerlock for more pressure.
Hanako Nakamoto: Amazing grappling from both women, Nina showing her excellent technical prowess by successfully grounding Mizuki right now.
We go back to the action as Mizuki is able to slowly get herself back to her feet and escape Nina’s hold on her. Both women are standing in the center of the ring as Mizuki is able to quickly trap Nina’s left arm and goes for an arm twist but the veteran is able to reverse it and hit an arm drag. Mizuki and Nina now begin to exchange strikes as Mizuki is first and hits her opponent with a forearm. Nina responds with one of her own as the two women begin to go at it, throwing forearms at one another. Soon Nina is able to duck a forearm from Mizuki and goes for a Roundhouse Kick but Mizuki ducks and immediately back away by getting out of the ring.

NINA SANADA JUST TOOK A BIG RISK AND NAILS THE SUICIDE DIVE ON TO MIZUKI! Mizuki seems to be in pain as the force from the suicide dive had her back crashing into the guard railing! Nina immediately gets Mizuki back into the ring and goes for a cover!
Yuri Watanabe: ONEEEEEEE!!!! TWOOOOOO!!!!
Maki Fujioka: And Mizuki Nakata kicks out! Nina has had the early stages of this match under her control surprisingly. Mizuki hasn’t gotten her head in the game to my surprise.
Hanako Nakamoto: Well she better soon, and understand what is at stake at the current moment. This is the biggest main event in Cinderella Story history!
Nina seems to be unimpressed as she slaps the back of Mizuki’s head! Shouting at her that if she can’t this company if she continues like this! Nina now fires Shoot kicks directed at the seated Mizuki’s chest! The impact can be heard all throughout Budokan but The Chosen One immediately gets right up and dares her opponent to attack one more time! Sanada replies with a knife edge chop! The loud chop lands but Mizuki doesn’t seem fazed at all! One more chop from Nina but against Nakata doesn’t seem fazed at all, Sanada continues her chops and now Mizuki responds with forearms! Both women are throwing their strikes as the crowd is behind both women at the moment!

Mizuki now looks at Yuri Watanabe who confirms that Nina kicked out at the last second. Nina Sanada is trying to get her bearings as Mizuki begins to think of what do to next. She nods to herself before picking up Nina one more time, she’s gonna try for the Laniakea again and attempt to finish it right now! Nina seems out of it as Mizuki has her up on her shoulders, she looks right at the hard camera before going for the move! LANIAKEA---NO! NINA FLIPS OUT OF THE FIREMAN’S CARRY TAKEOVER!

Maki Fujioka: AND THIS TIME MIZUKI KICKS OUT! My god, Mizuki was about to survive that Nippon Driver!
Hanako Nakamoto: Well there’s a good reason why the future of JET has been entrusted to her! She is proving her worth as the Ace of JET.
Nina is now shocked as she thinks of what she can do next! She looks at the nearby turnbuckle and begins to head out of the ring to climb to the top turnbuckle. Sanada is ready to go as she begins to yell at Mizuki to get up! Mizuki slowly begins to get up to her feet. Nina now leaps as she goes for a crossbody!

Hanako Nakamoto: I’m shocked as you are! Mizuki looking frustrated as she’s wondering what she has to do to put down Nina Sanada! Almost every major big maneuver in her arsenal has been thrown out at this point and Nina will not go down.
Nina is slowly reaching for the ropes and begins to slowly get up using the ropes. Mizuki is looking a bit angry as she begins to yell at Nina to just give up at this point. Nina is slow to get up to her feet as she gets in Mizuki’s face and responds with a slap. Nina feels disrespected at Mizuki telling her to quit. Mizuki now responds to the slap with a forearm, both women begin to throw forearms at one another! They are relentless! Mizuki now ducks one from Nina and immediately goes for a German Suplex!

She’s gonna end her career with the finishing maneuver of the JET Founder, the crowd is excited as suddenly Mizuki is able to counter it! MIZUKI IS ABLE TO SLIP BEHIND! SHE HAS NINA IN A WAISTLOCK! MIZUKI HITS A GERMAN SUPLEX THAT SENDS NINA RIGHT INTO THE NEARBY TURNBUCKLE! Sanada’s head clashes with the turnbuckle! She’s now in a seated position! Mizuki now rushes to the opposite corner and runs back to Nina! BULLET TRAIN CONNECTS! MIZUKI CONNECTS WITH THE DOUBLE KNEES BUT SHE ISN’T DONE! She rushes back the opposite way and returns to connect with ANOTHER BULLET TRAIN!
Nakata is pulling out all the stops as she gets Nina Sanada up! Mizuki has The Monarch in a fireman’s carry again! Third time’s the charm as Mizuki FINALLY CONNECTS WITH A LANIAKEA! The Fireman’s Carry Takeover hits as Mizuki isn’t done! She grabs a hold of the down Nina’s wrist! Mizuki now rolls through and is able to get herself up with Nina on her shoulder! NOW A ROLLING GROUND LIFTED LANIAKEA! That should do it! Mizuki now hooks Nina’s leg and goes for a cover!
Yuri Watanabe/Crowd: ONEEEEEEEE!!!! TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!! THREEEEEEEEEE!!!!
(DING DING DING!!)
(Winner - Mizuki Nakata)
(Winner - Mizuki Nakata)
(“Rage of Dust” by SPYAIR plays again as the crowd explode in cheer and applaud the match they just saw! Mizuki now rolls off Nina meanwhile, young girls enter the ring and to help both women.)
Asuka Kuramochi: Ladies and Gentlemen... Your winning by Pinfall! THE CHOSEN ONE!! NAKATA MIZUKI!!!
Maki Fujioka: SHE DID IT! Mizuki defeated Nina Sanada! She really did it! This might have been the single greatest JET Bout we have ever seen. Everything was thrown out during this match, everything major move in these women’s arsenal was used and finally! After not one but two Laniakea this match ends!
Hanako Nakamoto: Credit goes to Nina Sanada! Even though it was her retirement match, she didn’t take Mizuki lightly at all during this match! Sanada did everything she could to survive this match and tried her hardest to defeat Mizuki and ends her career with a massive win at Cinderella Story.
(Mizuki is the first to get up as she is helped up her feet by the JET Young Girls. The Chosen One is holding an ice pack as she comes over closer to her fallen opponent and nods before being helped out of the ring.)
Maki Fujioka: It seems that the victor Mizuki is gonna not be the one to end the show and she’s gonna let her fallen opponent be the one to close the show. Mizuki tonight truly showed why she is given the nod by so many in JET to be this company’s Ace and protector.
(Mizuki slowly exits the ring as she holding the ice pack against her neck in pain. Meanwhile, Nina Sanada is finally gaining consciousness as she is helped up to her feet. Nina is able to stand on her own as she looks around at the Budokan crowd chanting her name. “Rage of Dust” dies down as Nina finally bows one last time. “Lydia” plays in what could be for the final time as the crowd throws an abundance of blue streamers!)
Hanako Nakamoto: It’s finally over. Nina Sanada’s career is finally over and a what match to go out on. 18 years of absolutely amazing wrestling by Nina and it’s finally coming to an end. This chapter of her career is coming to an end but there’s a new chapter waiting for her somewhere.
(The final shot before the camera fades to black is of Nina falling to her knees as she mouths the words “thank you”. The camera fades and the logos for JET and the IJWF appear ending Cinderella Story 2019.)
