JET 2: Shinjuku FACE in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan
A montage of last week’s episode plays as it shows the introduction of Yoko Kudo as the JET General Manager, we also see clips of last week’s matches including the return of Nina Sanada as she pinned the JET Unified Champion, BIANCA and demanding a title shot.
From the recap, the opening of the show plays with this particular song.
We now move to our commentary table where our commentators are getting settled in for the start of Tonight’s show.
Maki Fujioka: Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to another exciting episode of our Sakura Blooming tour. Once again my name is Maki Fujioka and I’m joined by former JET Openweight Champion and Joshi legend, Hanako Nakamoto. What a show we have for you with title match contenders being decided for the upcoming Korakuen Hall show next week.

Show Opener; Singles Match: Mitra Marvel vs. Momoko Honda
The match goes pretty competitive as both Mitra and Momoko got each chance to capitalize and grabbing momentum even though it is not really working. Mitra got the upper hand as she gets Momoko with a Discus Elbow Smash. Mitra tries to pin but Momoko still able to overcome by kicking out at the right time. Momoko slowly stands and counter Mitra when she's trying to approach. Momoko shifts the momentum by giving Mitra a series of punches on her midsection, ends it with a devastating Enzuigiri. Momoko rallies the crowd resulting in a loud cheer that coming around the arena. Momoko seems fired up as she waits for Mitra to stand. Mitra is on her knees now but Momoko just gives Mitra a lot of kicks to her chest. As she's ready to deliver her final kicks, Mitra catches her leg and turns it into a Dragon Screw. Momoko quickly gets up and losing here focus as Mitra is ready for her Golden Hour (Discus Big Boot). It hits right to Momoko's face. Mitra goes for a pin but somehow Momoko is able to kick out. Without wasting any time, Mitra gets Momoko on her feet as she lifts her in a Suplex position, but once Momoko is on top, Momoko shifts her wait to the back, causing Mitra to fall but Momoko lands on her feet. Momoko charges to the rope bounce the ring and hit a Tsunami Strike (Shining Wizard), making Mitra goes down and out. Momoko just goes straight climbing the top rope as she jumps and hit her finisher, Happy Landing (Diving Elbow Drop) but Mitra lifts her legs, making Momoko lands on it. Momoko looks painful as she rolls and Mitra seize the opportunity to deliver Chasing the Sun (Forward Sommersault Stunner) and it hits successfully. Mitra goes for a pin and Momoko is unable to kick out.
(Winner - Mitra Marvel)
Hanako Nakamoto: What a victory for Mitra Marvel!
After the celebration, Mitra approaches Momoko that is at the bottom corner. Mitra reaches her hand to Momoko which Momoko accept it. Mitra helps Momoko to stand as they hug each other and Momoko raises the winner's hand.
Maki Fujioka: These two ladies really shows what a sportsmanship really is!
Hanako Nakamoto: This is really inspiring, both of them are trying to be the best, even though only one should walk out victorious!
We go to the backstage as we see Natsu just comes out from the General Manager's office and when she gets out, Nina Sanada and Spider Kagura are confronting Natsu.
Spider Kagura: The second coming of the Great Miss Manami....
Nina Sanada: Greetings, Natsu! How are you tonight? I hope you are enjoying yourself being here.
Natsu looks at these two women with a confused look.
Natsu Toyama: uhh..... May I help you?
Nina Sanada: No, not at all.... We don't need your help. You are! I see you have a lot of potential coming from the blood of Manami and as far as we can see, you still haven't won any match so far. We are here to help you out, under our wings, you definitely get a better chance to win. We can help you to get to the top and be legends like us and your mother.
Nina expands her hand while waiting for her to shake it.
Spider Kagura: so, what's it gonna be?
Natsu isn't just grabbing Nina's head instantly as she just looks at these two, still with a confused look. She then decided not to shake Nina's hand.
Natsu Toyama: Give me time, I'll think about it.
Natsu then leaves them both as Nina and Kagura just look at each other while nodding their heads. The scene then goes for a commercial break.
{COMMERCIAL BREAK}
We return to the show as we go to the locker room with Ai Moe fixing her schoolgirl-looking ring attire as she looks to the camera.
Ai Moe: Hello everyone! Akira-san said I should do one of these things for you so... I'll try my best!
Anyway Hayabusa-san, it's an honor to be able to fight such an accomplished fighter. It really is. But... you know this is my first chance to fight for a title. Tonight is the most important match of my career so far. I know I'm not very experienced or anything but...
But Hayabusa-san I'm going to give it my all, ok? I'll continue to train even more up till the very last second, ok? And by the end of the night, I'll get that chance at the Young Lioness title!
So Hayabusa-san, despite my other line of work, despite my lack of experience... Don't underestimate me! I'll show you like I've shown the fans everywhere that I'm not just in this for the DVD sales. I'm not in this for the money! I'm in this because I love pro wrestling! And I'll show you my fighting spirit tonight!
Ai blows a kiss to the camera then it returns to ringside from commercial as we get a shot of Maki Fujioka inside the ring with a microphone in her hand.
Maki Fujioka: Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m excited to announce that at Sakura Blooming, we will have a special guest competing. She’s a former JET champion and held the title for nearly 11 months which is the second longest reign with the JET world title just behind Nina Sanada’s second reign. This woman is also one of the four to have been personally trained by JET Founder Miss Manami!)
The camera goes to small titantron near the entrance ramp as it shows the back of a woman wearing a hoodie that reads JET Class of 2013. It seems that she has a title around her waist but we can’t tell which one until the woman turns out and the crowd soon EXPLODE IN CHEERS AS IT’S STEPHANIE ‘CLOUD’ MATSUDA!!! The War Queen smirks for the camera.
Stephanie Matsuda: JET! I’m coming home soon. I’ll be here next week for JET Night 3, see you all there!
The crowd continues to cheer loudly as it’s the end of the video and you can see a smile on Maki’s face as she speaks into her microphone.
Maki Fujioka: Yes people, you heard it from the woman herself! The War Queen is returning home to JET and she will be here next week for JET 3 to tell us about who she will be facing at Sakura Blooming! All of us here at JET are so excited to have the woman formerly known as the Sky Princess back home to Joshi Extreme Takeover!
Singles Match: Candice Blair Ava vs. Yuki Sakuraba w/Tomoyo Hirate on commentary
The match started in Sakuraba’s control, she was breaking down Candice’s arm with a more classic slow pace Japanese style. We can tell that Yuki is in control until one reversal by The Atomic Blonde. She shows her the skills she has acquired from her older sister, Cameron and hits Yuki with a strong forearm and just like that, the match was in control of The Atomic Blonde. She now begins to work on Yuki’s arm knowing how much Yuki likes to hit a powerful and dangerous Lariat. We can see on the commentary table that Tomoyo seems unimpressed at what Candice is doing. There were reports that Candice was unhappy that she wasn’t in the Number 1 contender match and she seems to be taking her frustrations on Yuki. She tries to lock in the signature Ava Lock and get the early submission win.
Maki Fujioka: Yuki is fighting right now, she’s trying to claw her way and she gets the rope.
The match continues as Yuki gets the rope to cheers from the crowd which is immediately turned to boos as Candice kicks and stomps on Yuki. She picks up Yuki and Irish-whips her into a corner. Candice continues her offense and looks her signature move she calls ‘Little Bit of Blair’ only to have Yuki dodge it at the last second and hit the cornered Ava sister with a Shotei fire back with a VICIOUS ‘Super Galactic Collider’ (Axe Bomber Lariat). Yuki is starting to get fired up as she gets the crowd on their feet and telling Candice to get back up! She’s looking for her Cosmic Explosion finisher! YUKI WITH THE RANHEI! NO! Candice slips out of it and hits a brutal Candy Kick (shoot kick). You could have probably heard it from outside of Shinjuku FACE but Yuki is still on her feet and lets out a fiery roar of determination only to be hit with Candice’s Candy Crush (Double Knee Facebreaker) finisher!
(Winner: Candice Blair)
While the commentary team is talking about Candice’s impressive win. We see Candice climbing on the turnbuckle and telling Tomoyo that she wants the title. The JET Young Lioness Champion rises from her seat holds up her title while the young Ava is smirking.
Candice Blair(off-mic): I’ll be watching your match next week against whoever. You better retain Champ!
Candice makes her way to the back as the camera transitions to the backstage area where Nina Sanada is walking around until she runs into Yoko Kudo. The two of them stare down before Yoko breaks the silence.
Yoko Kudo: What do you want, I’m a busy woman, Nina.
Nina Sanada: Remember what I said last week, I want to know if you’re going to give me the chance to get back my JET Crown. I want BIANCA at Sakura Blooming before you give me the crap that I don’t have a valid reason to be the contender, I just pinned your world champion last week. So be a smart woman and give me a title shot. You know I’m not the type of woman to make an enemy out of.
Yoko Kudo: I’m a retired wrestler, I don’t plan to get in the ring with you if you dare to put your hands on me but you have a point and if this was Manami running JET, you probably would have to wait and earn your position in a Number 1 contender’s match but this is my JET and if you want the title shot, come to Korakuen next week and sign a contract for the match with BIANCA.
Nina Sanada: You’re a smart woman, you made the right call of giving the Queen a shot to get back her crown.
Nina smirks before taking her leave as the camera returns back to ringside for tonight’s Semi-Main of Kimiko vs. Ai.
Semi-Main; Singles Match: Ai Moe vs. Kimiko Hayabusa
The bell rings and Kimiko just aggressively attacking Ai in the corner. She gives Ai a series of punch until Ai is down and the referee has to separate them down. After referee has to be involved, Kimiko just push her way and continue to ambush Ai but Ai has time to think of strategy as she pulls Kimiko's bottom and drops her face to the mid turnbuckle. Kimiko is down as Ai capitalize the moment by dragging her to the center of the ring and hits a German Suplex. Ai goes for a cover but Kimiko is still able to kick out at two.
Hanako Nakamoto: Ai Moe looks really fired up here. She's not someone whom you can't easily mess up with.
Now it's Ai's time to build a momentum, Ai gives Kimiko a straight headlock, making some damage to her last week's partner. Kimiko is right in the middle of the ring so she's just too far to reach the rope, plus Ai just makes her lock even tighter. Kimiko turns her body, struggling to get away from the lock. Kimiko grabs Ai's hair and flips her forward, thus releasing the lock. But Ai quickly gets up and gives Kimiko a superkick while she's still recovering from that choke. Ai goes for another pin attempt but Kimiko still kicks out at two. Ai looks frustrated while Kimiko trying to reach a corner to recover herself. Ai looks at her as she just takes a stance for a running corner attack. She takes a charge and about to hits Kimiko with a Shinkansen knee attack but Kimiko rolls aside and Ai just hits nothing. Kimiko still recovers while Ai is down while holding her knees.
Maki Fujioka: Nobody home! Now both of these competitors are down. Who's gonna win and challenge Hirate next week
Kimiko seems to get up earlier than Ai as she just ready to strike again. She grabs Ai by her hair and just tosses her across the other side of the ring. Ai starts to kneel but Kimiko is just standing there, ready to strike Ai with her Princess' Peach (Running Hip Attack). Now Kimiko goes for the cover but Ai still able to kick out at two. Kimiko punches the mat and gets up as she gets to the apron. Kimiko taunts Ai to get up and once she's up on her feet, Kimiko jumps for a springboard attack but Ai rolls aside. Kimiko lands on her feet but from behind Ai grabs Kimiko by the chest and hits her AV Overdrive (Boobsplex) with bridging pin. Miraculously Kimiko kicks out when the referee almost hit the three-count. Ai looks at the referee in disbelief while referee convinces her that it's still a two-count. Ai believes that the match should end just that but it still continues. Ai gets Kimiko up but Kimiko fights back by giving Ai punches on the midsection. Ai responds to it while giving her a knee to the same area. Kimiko just Irish whips Ai to the rope but Ai reverses it, but that reversal ends with Kimiko jumps for a springboard attack as she hits a Broken Crown (Springboard Spike Hurricanrana) to Ai. Ai is down and Kimiko just hooks her leg while the referee hits the mat three times.
(Winner - Kimiko Hayabusa)
Maki Fujioka: Kimiko did it! She will be challenging Tomoyo for the JET Young Lioness Champion.
{COMMERCIAL BREAK}
Main Event; Tag Team Match: JUNKO and Saiko Hotaru vs. Vanessa Santiago and Virginia w/ Candice Blair at ringside
Both teams have made their way to the ring and it seems that Candice Blair is at ringside for Virginia and Vanessa. The match begins with JUNKO and Virginia, you can see the strength advantage that the foreigner has as she gains control after a lockup attempt from JUNKO. Virginia is able to take down JUNKO with a waist lock. We can see Atwood try to keep JUNKO grounded and it seems to be working until JUNKO fights back with some elbow shots to the side of the head which forces Virginia to break her waist lock hold and JUNKO gets back to her feet. The woman known as the Dispare Child begins to fight back and the crowd seems to be cheering for her to keep going. She begins to mount her early assault of kicks and forearms against Atwood. She rebounds the rope closest to her opponent’s team, Santiago lands a kick to the back of the JUNKO with referee Yuri Watanabe unaware. This kick gives Virginia the perfect time to recover and take control by hitting a lariat.
Maki Fujioka: What a strategy there!
After a cover, Vanessa Santiago is tagged in and gets down to wearing down her opponent, JUNKO is trying to get back to her feet with her tag partner, Saiko telling her to fight back and make the tag but it seems to be hard then Saiko thinks as Santiago is using her fantastic technical abilities to her fullest, making sure that she breaks down JUNKO and put her away with a Submission. Vanessa is hitting perfect knee drops to JUNKO’s left arm and switches to attacking JUNKO’s leg making sure it takes away the effectiveness of JUNKO’s Shadow Flash Kick! As Santiago is attacking the leg, JUNKO is finally able to fight back kicks Vanessa away and as the woman, they call The General is coming back, JUNKO get a sneaky roll up for an easy 2 count. The pin seemed more as a way for JUNKO to get the advantage rather than get the win. Both women are quickly back to their feet but Santiago is met with a shoot kick from Junko right to her chest. JUNKO continues to fire off kick after kick which is sending Vanessa into her opponent’s corner. Now we get a tag as Saiko enters the ring, both her and JUNKO now hit running forearm back to back. JUNKO now Irish whips Vanessa towards Saiko who hits a hurricanrana! Pin from Saiko but it only gets the two count!
Hanako Nakamoto: Saiko almost had it but the match still continues.
Now it’s Santiago who is trying to get to her tag partner as Saiko gets her opponent up before Irish whipping her into one of the neutral corners. Saiko goes to the opposite corner and sprints towards Vanessa and hits a HUGE CORNER DROPKICK, following it right afterward with a Flip The Switch (Monkey Flip) to Vanessa! The General is able to power out of another cover attempt and Saiko wants to end this match as she heads to one of the neutral corners and climbs the top rope looking for her signature Frog Splash. SHE JUMPS BUT IT’S A MISS AS SANTIAGO IS ABLE TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY!! Now it’s time for Santiago to get her tag to Virginia but Saiko is also trying to get to her partner as well. The missed Frog Splash must have taken a lot out of her as she gets the tag but so does Vanessa. The two woman who started this match is back in the ring! And both of them are trading shots! JUNKO and Virginia are firing Forearms at the other until JUNKO gets the advantage as she ducks one of Atwood’s shots and goes for a Kurione Krush (Jumping Cutter) but Atwood somehow is able to counter that and pick up JUNKO into a Fireman’s Carry. JUNKO is firing up once again with shots but Virginia is able to still hold the smaller woman and looks to it a Death Valley Driver!
Maki Fujioka: Here it is, could this be it?
NO! JUNKO gets out of it but it seems she may have landed hard on the same leg that Santiago worked on early in the match. It doesn’t matter for JUNKO as she hits a Roundhouse Kick! Virginia Atwood is down to one knee as JUNKO heads towards a neutral corner! She begins to stalk Virginia to a breather before she hits her Shadow Flash, but it may have been the opportunity that Candice needed as she gets up on the apron and distracts JUNKO. The Dispare Child is annoyed at Candice up on the apron as she gets in the face with the youngest Ava sister. Saiko is still down and can’t come over to deal with the Atomic Blonde, meanwhile referee Yuri Watanabe is telling Candice to get down but it’s not working and all of this makes it easy for Virginia to take advantage and hit a big boot to the back of JUNKO’s head! Candice gives a shit eating grin as her plan has worked and she lets Virginia handle the rest. Atwood isn’t going to miss this chance as she gets JUNKO into position for the finisher she calls ‘Fat Man’ (Cradle Belly to Back Piledriver). Yuri makes the count as Candice and Vanessa hold down Saiko from entering the ring as the ref calls for the bell
(Winners: Vanessa Santiago and Virginia Atwood)
Hanako Nakamoto: There you have it! We have Atwood and Santiago for the winner and grab the contendership to face LUMINOID for the title.
The referee raises their hands while Atwood is swiping her feet while JUNKO is rolling out of the ring. They both celebrate as the show goes to an end.
