After the opening video package, we cut to a reduced max capacity crowd at Tokyo Dome City Hall. “Full House” by Girlfriend blasting in the background as the camera cuts to the commentators ready to go.
Maki Fujioka: Ladies and Gentlemen, we are live here at the Tokyo Dome City Hall for the go-home show before Collision Course III! I’m Maki Fujioka, your lead commentator as always and joined by the wonderful Asuka Kuromachi!
Asuka Kuromachi: It’s great to be calling the action alongside you. Today is the show of this short tour but an important one, especially with that HUGE main event. We’ve got a lot of action set to go for all to see.
Opening Match/Singles Match:
Hannah Rockford vs. Spring TORA
The opening contest had Hannah Rockford in action as she took Spring TORA. The match was the perfect high-speed opener from both competitors. TORA despite being nowhere near experienced as her opponent put in an incredible effort. The match was 10 minutes that flew by thanks to the speed of the action but eventually fell to a Prodigybreaker who scores her first win of 2021.
(Winner - Hannah Rockford)

Six-Women Tag Match:
Na Fionna, Misaki Suzuki, and Melissa Enders vs. Satsuki Fujioka, Saya Okita, and Aoi Kitamura
A basic tour six-women tag as Fionna teamed with Misaki Suzuki and Melissa Enders to take on Satsuki Fujioka, Saya Okita, and Aoi Kitamura. The young girls seemed to be able to work together well for most of the match but like the previous, experience played a big part in turning the tides in the favor of Fionna and co. The match ended after the 10-minute mark when Aoi was pinned by Melissa following a Jumping Cutter.
(Winners - Melissa Enders, Na Fionna, and Misaki Suzuki)

The scene quickly transitions to an expansive all-white room as far as the eye can see. A moment passes before a blue blinking light appears on the ground. Five seconds fade away before a compartment in the floor opens up. Out pops a floating futuristic spherical chair. And that chair happens to be occupied by the marvelous being known as Seijun Kanemoto.
A second passes as the camera zooms in on Seijun’s figure. She should be ecstatic, to say the least. Nonetheless, there is an aloofness to her demeanor as she examines her finger nails. Seijun doesn’t even glance at the camera as her voice rings out in Japanese.
Seijun Kanemoto: Thousands and thousands of unfortunate souls find themselves inside of a wrestling ring at some point in their life. Some are blinded by the allure of fame. Others are foolishly chasing a life-long pipe dream. And of those thousands and thousands of people, only a handful are truly astonishing.
Feeling confident that her nails are on point, Seijun nonchalantly tilts her head in the camera’s direction.
Seijun Kanemoto: And it just so happens that I am one of those selected few.
Ms. Kanemoto leans back in her hovering chair and crosses her legs.
Seijun Kanemoto: The decision to join Joshi Extreme Takeover was an arduous one. That’s because I’m pretty abnormal compared to the women that JET tends to employ. Professional wrestling wasn’t my first true love. I’m not the “happy to be here” type. And I not have some obsessive devotion to Azumi Goto or any of the other “legends” that worked here―
An audible pop travels throughout the air as Seijun snaps her fingers.
Seijun Kanemoto: Then why JET, you may be asking yourself.
She pauses for a moment.
Seijun Kanemoto: Well, simply put, it is one of the few promotions that may be able to withstand the magnitude of my power.
Seijun gives a small nod of the head.
Seijun Kanemoto: Gamma Pro crumpled into a heap. Final Falling Star shattered into a million tiny pieces. But perhaps JET is strong enough to endure the weight of a celestial being. It’s endured a lot of other bullshit, that’s for damn certain.
A second passes.
Seijun Kanemoto: I know that most of the women on the roster will hear my words and ignore them. Others will categorize my speech as fanciful folly and toss it to the side. And while that should incite me to rage, it doesn’t―
For the first time, Seijun cracks a small smirk.
Seijun Kanemoto: Because at the end of the day, every woman here will kneel before me. And it will be because they are smart and chose to, or that they are so bludgeoned and battered that they can no longer rise up.
Seijun lifts up her right hand and snaps her fingers. Distortion lines fill the screen until she can no longer be seen. Those distortion lines then disappear and allow the next scene to be played.

Tag Team Match:
NAMI and Yukiko Kusanagi vs New Generation Army (Saki Misawa and Asa Kawada)
Leading up to their big title match, NAMI teamed with her consistent tour tag partner, Yukiko Kusanagi while her challenger, Saki Misawa teamed with NGA partner Asa Kawada. With their title match set in stone, both champion and challenger were trying to one-up one another and close the tour with a win before Collision Course III. NGA was able to work well and unfortunately for NAMI and Yukiko, it was another loss as Asa pinned Yukiko following the AK-KO.
(Winners - New Generation Army)

As the ring is being cleared, we see someone make their way out. No music or anything like that, and it’s Stephanie Matsuda! The crowd reacts with a loud pop as Stephanie seems to be all business right now, she enters the ring and asks for a microphone.
Stephanie Matsuda: JESSICA ROSE! I’M TIRED OF YOUR CRAP! GET OUT HERE RIGHT NOW!
Maki Fujioka: It seems that Stephanie Matsuda isn’t playing around. Jessica Rose wanted to get Stephanie’s attention and I guess it’s happening right now.
Soon “Low Life” by Crobot begins to play as the crowd boo.
Asuka Kuramochi: Speak of the devil.
Jessica Rose seems to be in a good mood. With a smug smile on her face, she is handed a microphone and looks right at Stephanie Matsuda.
Jessica Rose: Took you long enough. I’ve been wanting your attention for so long.
Stephanie Matsuda: Well, you’ve got my attention now. Answer me this, do you feel happy that you’ve gotten my attention? Is that what you wanted for so long? You attacked my protege, not once but twice. You screwed her out of the JET World Championship against your ally and now Sora is out hurt because of you. All of it for what? So you can see me, face to face?
Jessica Rose: Stephanie! I want to see everything you’ve built over your career be torn down by me! Your protege? Out with a hurt knee because of me! Hell, in the end, you’re the reason for Sora being hurt!
Stephanie Matsuda: So what the hell do you want?! Do you want a match for Collision Course?
Jessica Rose: Collision Course?! Don’t you have to be here in Japan, defending one of your thirty different titles? Why would I want to face you for such a small event like Collision Course? If injuring your protege is gonna get me a match at Collision Course, I wonder how far I need to go, get a match against you at Cinderella Story. Will it have to be your mentor who gets hurt or your business partner Azumi…
Stephanie’s anger seems to be boiling to new levels as she has her fist curled up into a ball.
Or maybe… your wife?
Stephanie lashes out and nails a punch right Jessica’s face who goes down and immediately she rolls out of the ring. There seems to be a smile on her face as she grabs her microphone but Stephanie is the one to speak.
Stephanie Matsuda: So Cinderella Story is what you want? Fine then! April 11th, mark it on your calendar, Jess. It’s the day you get every bit of Karma tossed right back at you!
“Oh La La” by Run The Jewels plays as Stephanie drops her mic and exits the ring as the final shot before intermission is Jessica seated against the barricade.

Singles Match:
HULK vs Sara Ashiya
The next match of the evening is one of the two JET representatives in the 2021 QOTW Tournament, HULK versus recently graduated Young Girl Sara Ashiya. The Sunlight Smile got an incredible reception from the fans for her first match as a part of the main roster. The match was highly competitive with Sara being able to showcase her allrounder style similar to her idol Mizuki Nakata. Both HULK and Sara had a highly competitive match and Sara nearly got the win with a Victory Sunrise. In the end, Sara tried to fight HULK’s strikes with her own and that wasn’t a good idea. One Little Blade followed by a Farwell, Osaka for HULK to end into CCIII with momentum.
(Winner - HULK)

Midori Miyamoto: Not every woman who joins Joshi Extreme Takeover is fit to become a world champion—
Midori Miyamoto’s voice rings out as the scene opens up. The young woman is seated at a glass conference table. A functional black and white checkered cardigan covers her upper body.
Midori Miyamoto: I realize that is a harsh thing to say out loud. It’s hurtful to some. However, it is the truth. And sometimes the truth is the most hurtful.
There’s a brief pause.
Midori Miyamoto: But the fact of the matter is, it takes a woman of exceptional skill to even compete for the JET World Championship. And the selected few who actually go on to hold the belt? They are even more special.
Midori Miyamoto: I am one of those chosen few. My start in JET wasn’t a smooth one. However, I refused to let adversity and pain hold me back. My determination, my pride, and my skills allowed me to endure until I was finally able to take my place as one of the leaders of this company.
Midori nods her head.
Midori Miyamoto: My reign as the JET World Champion was quite spectacular, if I may say so. I successfully defended the belt with honor and pride. I held the championship for three hundred and fifteen days, which meant that my individual reign was the fourth longest in JET history. When you are out there battling and in the thick of it, you can’t think about those types of things. But the fact of the matter is, I drilled into the record books. And for California born woman like myself, someone who many believe never should have been successful in the first place, that feat was amazing―
Midori’s words trail off as she goes quiet for a few moments.
Midori Miyamoto: And yet, my time as the JET World Champion pales in comparison to Nina Sanada’s time as the champion. Once again, that is a harsh thing to say, but it’s the truth.
She nods her head.
Midori Miyamoto: When it comes to history makers, Nina always tops the list. Twelve successful defenses. Four hundred and eighteen days as champion. One thousand and ninety-two combined days as the champion.
Midori pauses for a moment.
Midori Miyamoto: Nina is the greatest wrestler that JET has ever seen―
Another pause.
Midori Miyamoto: And I’m not afraid to face her.
The young woman shakes her head.
Midori Miyamoto: Does that make me crazy?
The rhetorical question lingers in the air for a moment.
Midori Miyamoto: I don’t think so.
Midori Miyamoto: What would be the point of walking into this match with Nina believing that I was inferior? What would be the point of walking into this match and expecting to lose? That defeatist attitude always results in a critical failure. Furthermore, that type of attitude would invalidate and undermine my entire legacy that I’ve built here in JET. And I refuse to do that.
She shakes her head.
Midori Miyamoto: Nina? I have a lot of respect for what you’ve done throughout the course of your career. You are one of the greatest of all time; no one can dispute that. Nonetheless, there is a reason why you and I are sometimes brought up in the same conversations. I don’t have the tenure to be labeled as the greatest of anything, yet. But I’m on my way. The name Midori Miyamoto is going to be synonymous with JET when my career is over and done with. You see, the thing about records is they are meant to be broken. And I certainly plan on breaking a couple of yours, there’s no doubt about that. Because of that, I can’t be afraid to step into the ring with you.
The young woman nods her head.
Midori Miyamoto: There’s another thing, Nina. I know you’ve been working in LAW as of late, but you’re probably aware of the current state of JET. Things are starting to look like they did back a couple of years ago. People and groups are running around and doing what they please. We’ve got another lunatic holding the world championship. And just like back then, very few people are stepping up to keep the peace. That’s where me and my championship opportunity come into play. When KAGUYA was running wild, I was one of the few people who had the gall to stand up to her. And I eventually put her down. The same thing is happening with JUNKO right now. She’s leading this promotion down a very dark path, the company needs someone to save it. And that person has to be me. That is my duty; I’m going to uphold it. And to do that, I must defeat you, Nina.
There’s another pause.
Midori Miyamoto: Nina? I look forward to facing you at Collision Course. I have no doubt that the match will be great. But a great match isn’t what I’m aiming for; and I don’t think it’s what you are aiming for either. This match is bigger than that. It’s about pride. It’s about legacy. And it’s about doing what’s best for this company. I’m going to do whatever I can protect and uplift this company. Even if it means fighting JUNKO again. Even if it means defeating the great Nina Sanada.
The camera lingers on Midori for a moment before the picture cuts away.

Semi-Main/IJWF Heritage Championship Entry Four-Way:
Momoko Honda vs. Rio Kurokawa vs. IZM vs. Makiya Kusanagi
The semi-main of JET 46 was going to decide the JET representative to crown the first-ever IJWF Heritage Champion at Collision Course III. Three former champions and a surprise pick. Makiya Kusanagi could pull off a huge upset if she wins here. This match was just intense action right from the start. IZM and Momoko were able to reignite their rivalry as they traded strikes but unique moments like IZM clashing with Makiya and Rio Kurokawa vs. Momoko Honda once again. The match was 20 minutes of incredible action and it saw Momoko Honda get the win with a Happy Landing onto Makiya.
(Winner - Momoko Honda)
Post Match:
In her post-match interview, Momoko talked about the second half of 2020 was a down year for her. She knows that she has to rebound and winning the IJWF Championship is the best way to do so.

The live feed cuts to a video package where Natsu Toyama is sitting on a bench looking at the pictures of JET Alumni but more importantly a picture of her mother holding the JET World Champion as the company’s first champion.
Natsu Toyama: No one in the world has to deal with the same kind of pressure that I have to deal with. Being the only child of the greatest female wrestler to live is a hard thing. It feels like a nightmare at times.
Natsu’s gaze goes towards the pictures of Azumi Goto and Stephanie Matsuda side by side.
Natsu Toyama: They only had the pressure of being her chosen successors. There wasn’t a blood connection there despite them being dubbed as Manami’s daughters.
My mother’s legacy isn’t just JET and the women she trained. She also founded the IJWF, she runs the whole operation. This past year, I tried to step out and branch out with Azumi as Dream TAG and that fell short.
You know, I was in the first IJWF Championship Match at the very first Collision Course. That was the very first Collision Course Event just two years ago.
Natsu seems to be determined as she looks right at the camera.
Natsu Toyama: It might be two years later but I will do what should have been done in the first place. Kayla Winters, I’m your next opponent for the IJWF Championship at Collision Course III!
Natsu Toyama leaves the shot as the camera fades to black.

Main Event/Ten-Women Tag Match:
DESPERADOS (JUNKO, SAIKO, Julia Zhang, Q and Jessica Rose) vs. Ai Moe, Mizuki Nakata, Diantha Rosso, Yuki Takigawa, and Machiko Hasegawa
In the main event of the go-home show, it was Team JET vs. DESPERADOS. Tensions were running high going into this bout especially between Mizuki and SAIKO. Ai Moe and JUNKO showcased a preview of their title match, the match seemed to be in the favor of DESPERADOS who were able to isolate Yuki from the rest of her team. Takigawa was getting her arm worked over by all the members of DESPERADOS and tried to reach closer and closer for a tag. The crowd exploded into cheers when she was able to tag in Diantha who was on fire right from the start of her hot tag. She nailed multiple strikes and suplex to everyone that came near her. The finish of the match saw Mizuki nailing Jessica with a brand new finisher that not many people had seen before her. A Go Flasher from Mizuki that she calls Canis Majoris!
(Winner - Mizuki Nakata, Ai Moe, Diantha Rosso, Yuki Takigawa, and Machiko Hasegawa)
Post-match:
“Rage of Dust” by SPYAIR dies down as Mizuki is asking for a mic. The Ace is soon handed one by one of the young girls at ringside. As its tradition with all of Mizuki’s show-closing moments, she begins with a passionate yell.
Mizuki Nakata: TOKYYYOOOOOO DOME CITY HAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!! ALONG WITH MY PARTNERS, I’VE STOLEN THE SHOW AGAIN!!!
The crowd cheers as Mizuki Nakata continues to speak.
Mizuki Nakata: Oi SAIKO! Hear me out!
Of all people, you decided to have me as your challenger? I mean, I don't mind that.... Seems like you just can't get away from me. And after all, this is an opportunity. And I take that opportunity at all cost and knowing that you are the one who holds that title, one thing for sure that this can get really ugly... So you know what my answer is. It's on! You want me, you got it... and you know what, maybe, just maybe.... I let you decide what kind of playground you're about to bring for our match. Whether it's a surprise that will be revealed last minute, or you just come here and tell me what kind of match you're going to have. Because I know you so well, you won't be fighting me in a boring regular matc.
SAIKO smiles as she looks back at Mizuki and demands a mic from ringside.)
SAIKO: Zuki! Thank you for accepting the challenge! Let's be honest here… you and I, we’re not meant for these normal wrestling rules. You might the so-called Ace but in your heart, you’re a hardcore fighter more than anything. I can only think of one match that can truly take this rivalry of ours to the next level! I want our JET National Championship to be destructive, to leave a carnage that Los Angeles will never see again. I want our title match to be a…
TABLES!
LADDERS!
AND CHAIRS MATCH!
The crowd pops for the idea set by the National Champion, her challenger seems to only nod at the idea.
Mizuki Nakata: There you have it, folks! The match is set... it's me vs. SAIKO in a TLC match. Like i said, it's gonna get really messy but again, I'll do my very best to win that match. I promise to steal the show once again as always and walk out as National Champion
Another ovation of cheers from the fans as SAIKO smiles and mouths off “See you soon, Zuki. DESPERADOS soon leaves as “Rage of Dust” plays one more time. Mizuki and her team celebrate in the ring as the camera cuts to a final intermission.
[INTERMISSION]

JET46 returns as the ring has been cleared and standing around the ring are all of the JET roster members. Naomi Serizawa stands in the center with her mic.
Naomi Serizawa: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! FOR ONE FINAL TIME! PLEASE GIVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR JET’S RED DRAGON!!! KAGUYA!!!
“With Vengeance” by Yosuke Kinoshita plays as the crowd cheer loudly for KAGUYA who makes her way down to the ring.
Maki Fujioka: Making her way down to the ring for what will be the last time in her in-ring career, it was announced that KAGUYA suffered major blows in her dangerous JET World Championship Match this past December. It was then announced on twitter that KAGUYA had declared her retirement.
Asuka Kuramochi: The woman who was once hated by everyone on the roster and in the company now has everyone around her at ringside.
KAGUYA gets up using the steel steps where two young girls are holding the rope for her. She smiles at both of them and enters the ring. Naomi soon hands KAGUYA the mic that she was using. KAGUYA takes a minute to look around and soon begins to speak.
KAGUYA: So the Dragon goes out… not with a passionate roar but with a weak whimper. Honestly this isn’t how I thought things were going to be when I would end my career, I thought I would still have everyone here hating me. This was something that I didn’t expect. Thank you everyone.
JET has become so much more than I could have ever expected. If I couldn’t do the job of eradicating JUNKO and DESPERADOS, there are so many talented women who truly love and care for JET and ones who will fight for it. I want you all to know from the bottom of my heart how much it has truly meant to be a part of JET. Right from the start of my career to the very last match. I've seen the strongest, the scariest and some of the greatest female wrestlers walk in and compete for this company, stand in this cerulean blue ring. I'm glad that my career has been only for this company. It means the world that I could stand here.
I know that a lot of people didn't like me through the back half of my career but I had been consumed by anger, spite, and so much more. I had gone from a humble competitor to a hateful one. Somewhere I wish things would have been different and I would have continued to fight for this promotion but my time, the dragon's time to watch over JET has come to an end. I've seen this promotion change around for a decade.

I've seen this promotion change around for a decade.
And I can’t thank you all enough for this opportunity.
To all of you... Protect JET for me. I couldn't be the hero for this promotion but I know that most of you will be that.
To all of you... Protect JET for me. I couldn't be the hero for this promotion but I know that most of you will be that.
KAGUYA bows to the crowd. “With Vengeance” plays one more time as Hanako Nakamoto, Yoko Kudo, Azumi Goto and Stephanie Matsuda enter the ring. Hanako and Yoko present flowers to KAGUYA after that she shares a hug with both Azumi and Stephanie, the two other fellow Miss Manami proteges. KAGUYA shares some words with both of them as Miss Manami herself makes her way out from the back and enters the ring. Despite having not seen eye-to-eye in years, KAGUYA bows in front of her mentor who brings her in for a hug. All of the major JET board members leave the ring and the final shot is one more bow from KAGUYA and the JET roster throwing streamers into the ring for her.
