Yumiko Kanagawa: "(Welcome to Sakura Genesis Ep.13 "Lucky 13" i'm Yumiko Kanagawa and beside me is Kayako Kai. Tonight we're in a sold out Wexford Park here in Wexford, Ireland. I can't believe we have 26,000 fans here tonight!)"
Kayako Kai: "(26,000 people?! that's so many! Thank yo Ireland for showing up and showing up good tonight! As for tonight, we're the last stop of the week of gold for Night of Champion 10!

Match One: Idols of Sakura Championship Match; Standard SSS Rules; 60 Minute Time Limit
Lucie Taylor Vs. Blake Belladonna(C.)
Lucie Taylor Vs. Blake Belladonna(C.)
Yumiko Kanagawa: “(In our first trip to Ireland and Europe we start things off hot with our new Idols of Sakura Champion Blake Belladonna going against Lucie Taylor. Two young up and comers to SSS who are sure to have bright futures ahead of them.)”
Kayako Kai: “(Both ladies are gonna work hard to walk out champion tonight for sure.)”
As the Prefect(Exceender) gears up, Lucie comes out from behind the curtain. She poses on the entrance ramp, bringing her hands together. After a few seconds she makes her way down the ring ramp, slapping hands and hugging some of the fans. While also hyping them up as a well, getting up on the apron. She poses for a second, before getting on the top rope and pointing to the fans. She drops down and makes her way to the middle of the ring. Before dropping down to her knees, arms extends out looking up at the light. As the camera gives a closes look, she gives the peace sign. Which is close to the side of her face, smile on her face. Lucie gets up and goes to the nearest corner waiting for the official to start the match.
Blake comes out with the title as she makes her way to the ring.
Karin Wholfe: “(Introducing first in the red corner, she stands in at 5’5 and weighs in tonight at 119 pounds, hailing from Porto, Portugal, she is Lucie Taylor! And her opponent in the blue corner, she is the sixth and current Idols of Sakura Champion with no defenses. Standing 5’8 and weighing in tonight at 130 pounds, from Lewes, Delaware, USA, she is Blake Belladonna!)”
The match started off slow as both were cautious of one another. Trying to not let an opening appear. Both ladies would continue to keep a fairly slow pace, till Taylor would find a good opening and hit Belladonna with a few stiff strikes. She’d irish whip the champ before hitting her with a roundhouse kick she calls the Ace Marks!
A pin early on in the match and only a two count. Lucie continues trying to wear down her opponent, but gets blocked after a combo and eats some hooks herself. Blake works on the legs of Taylor and uses allot of leg ddts and knee/shin breakers on her opponent.
It starts to become too much to watch, that is, before we see Lucie roll her up in a small package for another pin attempt. It gets hardly a one though as the weakened legs give out before she could do much of anything. Blake continues wearing her down some more.
Lucie mounts a comeback for a short while, seeing some drop kicks and chops from her. Blake continues working on her legs though and really puts pressure on them. This was the strategy the entire match and it seems to pay off as she gets her in a kneebar before Lucie taps out.
Karin Wholfe: “(Your winner of this match and STILL Idols of Sakura Champion… Blake Belladonna!)”
Kayako Kai: “(Both ladies are gonna work hard to walk out champion tonight for sure.)”

Stacy Douglas Vs. Hanna Rockford(C.)
Stacy Douglas Vs. Hanna Rockford(C.)
Yumiko Kanagawa: “(Our next match is set to see Hanna Rockford defend her newly won Pride of Sakura championship against Stacy Douglas.)”
Kayako Kai: “(Both ladies had choice words for each other earlier in the month too.)”
Karin Wholfe: “(This match is set under Pride rules and is at a 60 minute time limit. Introducing first, in the red corner, Standing in at 5’6 and weighing in at 156 pounds. From Houston, Texas, USA, she is the “Psycho Bitch” Stacy Douglas! And her opponent she is the current and 3rd Pride of Sakura Champion with no title defenses, standing in at 5’4 and weighing in tonight at 165 pounds, From Wexford, Ireland! She is “The Blackheart” Hanna Rockford!)”
The fans show exactly who they want to win tonight as they cheer for the hometown hero Hanna Rockford. Almost all boos for Stacy throughout as both women start the match off. Lots of jabs in and out from both ladies early on. Not too much going on early between either of them.
Stacy manages to use her fury and get in a load of strikes on Rockford, lefts and rights. Kicks all over. Really hammering in the offense. Hanna dodges a kick and hits a forearm on Douglas, getting a bit of a comeback.
Stacy would knock Rockford down and mock the crowd, causing a near riot in attendance. Hanna would get up after about an 8 count. She’d get back up to a raucous ovation filled with cheers and chants from the irish crowd. Both women would continue to fight and go at it.
Yumiko Kanagawa: “(These women really getting the crowd hot. They absolutely love Hanna tonight!)”
Hanna continues to brawl with Stacy as the two land stiff blows to each other. Combos and strikes going all over the place, The end saw Hanna land an uppercut to the chin of Stacy Douglas, knocking her off the ground and knocking her clean out.

Everything comes to life.
The ball of rage known as STRiFE is seated backstage. Though, she doesn’t seem to be too angry this evening. In fact, there’s a smirk on her face as she observes one of the monitors.
She must sense the camera’s presence. It causes her to turn and look into the lens.
STRiFE: Yeah, you get to see a rare bit of joy on my face. Believe it or not, I’m in a great mood right now. By tonight’s end, Hanako will be the XHF Women’s Champion. I’m looking forward to seeing her kick that bitch’s ass out there. Partners in violence need to be supportive, right?
A snap of the fingers.
STRiFE: You see, I’m here cheering her on. And Hanako will be doing the same for me at Night of Champions Ten.
A small pause.
STRiFE: Fuuuukkkuuuuu—
STRiFE: You’ve had a long, glorious reign as the Goddess of Sakura Champion. Three hundred and ninety-two fucking days. And eight successful defenses to boot, right? That’s impressive. Though, I’d expect nothing less from you.
Another pause.
STRiFE: You’re quite the enigma, aren’t you, Fuku? Most people in the wrestling world? They view you as an oddity. They give you a side-eye because of your gruesome appearance. They misjudge you because of the way you move and act—
STRiFE: But I’ve been in the ring with you. I know how talented you really are. I know how vicious you can really be.
A head nod.
STRiFE: You’ve earned the success that you’ve garnered from holding that belt…
Another snap of the fingers.
STRiFE: However, it’s high time that someone knocked you off that throne, Ms. Goddess.
A short pause.
STRiFE: You and I are tied, as far as one-on-one matches go. I beat you to retain Rose City Artemis Championship; you beat me to remain the Goddess of Sakura. And now? We find ourselves getting ready to go to war, one last time.
A grunt escapes her body.
STRiFE: That weekend that I lost to you? It was one of the worst weekends of my career. I failed to become the Queen of Roses. I failed to become the Goddess of Sakura. Two crippling loses that we’re only a few hours apart...
There’s a deafening silence as STRiFE’s gaze turns back towards the monitor.
STRiFE: That won’t happen again, Fuku.
An ominous tone.
The camera stays trained on her for ten seconds. Then fade to black.

Sakura-Gun (Kikue Minami & Sakura Hase) Vs. The Icons (Drago & Maverick)
Sakura-Gun (Kikue Minami & Sakura Hase) Vs. The Icons (Drago & Maverick)
Yumiko Kanagawa: “(This is the third time the XHF Tag Team champions have made an appearance in SSS, well not these current champions, but you get the point. Tonight we see the return of Maverick who fought Kira Izumi and Rukia Matsuoka teaming with his girlfriend Hanna Rockford at last years Winter Festival. Tonight he comes with his tag team partner Drago Santiago to fight one of our premier tag teams in Sakura-Gun.)”
Kayako Kai: “(That’s right Yumichan, Tonight these two teams face off for the first time ever! And for those not aware of either team, well this is going to be one hell of a tag team match. Lets take it down ringside with Karin Wholfe for ring introductions.)”
Karin Wholfe: “(This match is a nontitle match set for one fall with a sixty minute time limit. Introducing first, in the red corner they are the team of Kikue Minami and Sakura Hase… Sakura-Gun! And their opponents, in the blue corner, they are the XHF Tag Team Champions… The duo of Drago Santiago and Maverick, The AWF Icons!)”
The fans give a big pop to the fellow irishmen Maverick, even though both teams are heels the icons are the clear favorites in this one. Minami and Drago start us off. Minami takes no time to feel out her opponent as she charges right at him with full fury. Santiago dodges a dropkick and goes for an elbow to her back. That’s blocked and Minami trips him up and gets on top of him, trying to lay in some mounted punches.
She gets in some nice hits before Santiago grabs a hand and gets in an armbar. She wiggles about till her partner breaks up the submission and yells at her for letting something happen. Kikue apologizes and continues to brawl with Drago. Lots of powerslams and suplexes early on in this one. Drago gets some more offence in and starts giving stiff kicks to the midsection of Minami. She takes ‘em and then throws him in her corner before chopping the holy hell out of his chest, making it look like a shredded up newspaper. She tags in Hase and they hit off a tandem superkick before Hase irishwhips Kikue into the sitting Drago and she hits a cannonball on him.
Kayako Kai: “(Sakura-Gun not giving an inch to the AWF Icons tonight.)”
Sakura keeps up the pressure and lays her out with stomps to the midsection and chest. She runs to the other side of the ring before charging back and hits a big boot on drago. Now bloody and beaten Drago stumbles up to his feet and squares up to the former Goddess of Sakura champion. The two trade off forearms, seeing to knock the other off their feet first. They go back and forth for a few minutes before Drago mounts a comeback combo. He hit a forearm then a roundhouse kick and knocked Sakura down with a spinning elbow before trying to go for the tag to the fresh Maverick.
She runs towards him and dives for the tag. At the last second Maverick is pulled down by Kilue Minami, who snuck to the other side of the ring amongst the chaos. She starts brawling with Maverick on the outside as Drago gets himself up, leaning in the corner. He eats a dropkick from Hase before he gets dropped on his head with a Blackdriver Brainbuster. A pin attempt from Hase.
ONE!
TWO!
THRE-
No a kick out from Santiago. Hase curses at Drago before taking even more of her rage out at the crowd. She puts more stomps into drago before irish whipping him into the corner. She tags out to Kikue before powerbombing Drago. Kikue jumps off the top rope and hits him with a double footstomp. Drago lands on his feet after getting german suplexed by Kikue. He backs into the Sakura-Gun corner, laying out Hase with a stiff series of elbows before charging Minami with a stiff Lariat. He bounces off and charges the ropes as Minami falls and comes right back up like a bouncy ball. She eats a dropkick from Drago again before he dives to his corner, this time making the hot tag to his fresh partner Maverick.
Maverick comes in like a house on fire as the fans erupt in cheers and chants of the hometown boys name. He lays out slaps and chops to Kikue Minami, leaving a brand on her in the form of his hand print. He ddts Minami before he plays to the crowd. He lays in more damage to his opponent before irish whipping her into his corner and tagging back out. They set up for their finisher the Regicide Driver. Maverick hits Minami with a superkick before Drago finishes the combo off with a swinging spike ddt. They hook the legs,
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Yumiko Kanagawa: “(No! Wait! Sakura Hase stops the pin at the last minute!)”
Hase starts stomping the shit out of Drago before Maverick spears her out of her boots literally and the two roll out of the ring, brawling on the outside of the ring. Maverick takes Hase through the crowd and suplexes Sakura on a nearby tree before going back to his corner. Drago keeps on fighting some more and gets in some good strikes and moves before tagging out to Maverick. The two try it one more time, hitting their Iconic Detroyer finisher, their take on the Doomsday Destroyer before pinning their opponents.
ONE!
TWO!

Karin Wholfe: “(Your winners of this match, The XHF Tag Team Champions, THE AWF ICONS!)”
The Icons celebrate in the ring as the fans cheer them on. Sakura-Gun are up at the ramp way now, with a mic in their hands.
Sakura Hase: "(Oi! You fuckers think your so hot?! You think you're good champions? REAL champions? You ain't shit! It took two finishers to beat us! TWO! But you'll need more than that next time... Next time we face each other is for those titles you two cling to so much. We don't care where, we don't care when. Next month Sakura-Gun is bringing those titles to the REAL tag division! Next month! NEXT MONTH YOU TWO BITCHES FACE THE WRATH OF THE BEST TAG TEAM IN THE SSS, no... THE WORLD!)"
Maverick looks up at Sakura Haze and just laughs, grabbing a microphone and speaking out to the crowd.
Maverick: "(So there you have it, I guess, the newest Tag Team to make the challenge. But, I have some things to say for myself. I've been thinking long and hard about this but tonight is where one chapter ends. That chapter being the story I've told of how I became a nobody from a small town in Ireland to a somebody with The Icons and XHF. That chapter ends, until another opens... When, you might ask? That's the thing really, tonight, I formally announce that I will take some time off. I will be back, don't you worry... I just don't know when. To that, I will be at Night of Champions tomorrow to tell everyone about how the Tag Team Championships will turn out... but for now, goodbye and goodnight.)"
"THANK YOU MAVERICK" chants go through Innovate Wexford Park as they stand in unison, Maverick sheds a tear before taking off his XHF Tag Team Championship and handing it over to Drago. Maverick takes a bow for the hometown crowd and walks to backstage, the crowd still letting out the chants as they echo throughout not only Wexford Park... But the entire town itself.

Match Four: God of Sakura Championship Match; Standard SSS Rules; 60 Minute Time Limit
Caden Yung Vs. Naoki Ojima
Caden Yung Vs. Naoki Ojima
Yumiko Kanagawa: “(Our next match is for the God of Sakura Championship! Both of these men won matches last month at Big Egg Wrestling Universe to get into the match we’re about to see.)”
Kayako Kai: “(That’s right, both men tonight are fighting to become the first ever God of Sakura champion! Caden Yung, a former AXW wrestler knows how to fly and get the job done when need be. And Noaki Ojima has traveled the world and faced many tough opponents too, just coming up short in a few matches. Tonight we’ll see if both can keep the momentum going and become champion or fall short and go back to square one with the rest of the roster.)”
Red, yellow, and blue lights dance across the stadium and meet towards the top of the stadium roof around the same time Enter Shikari's electronic prelude begins to blast from the different speakers. The primary colors break, then are replaced with darkness around the same time smoke from the smoke machine begin to crowd the entrance. Like a beacon of hope white light begins to shine from the entrance, the Yung Master's body slices through the smoke like a reaper's blade through a field of grass, launching himself off of a rising platform, spinning to face the crowd, just in time to land in a three-point stance. After landing, he synchs up with his song of choice with a mighty clap-clap-clap, before blasting white light covers him from behind, letting his silhoette project across the arena. After high-fiving with a few fans, he bolts down the ramp, dives into the ring with a slide, then masterfully flips himself to his feet. Both hands raise to the heavens, and he's ready for a battle!
Yumiko Kanagawa: “(Here comes Yung, he put up an impressive showing in his debut match, managing to beat some top talent.)”
Trumpets blast throughout the arena as TANK by the Seatbelts play. The arena fills with cheers as Naoki Ojima makes his way out. Sporting a Maximum Japan jacket, the rookie waves to the crowd as he quickly makes his way to the ring. Rolling inside Naoki stands in the middle of the ring and raises his right hand in the air as green and white streamers fill the ring. Stepping back Naoki takes his jacket off and tosses it outside.
Kayako Kai: “(And here’s the world traveler, Naoki Ojima! He was in a match with two XHF legends and some other impressive opponents as well.)”
Karin Wholfe: “(This match is set for one fall at a sixty minute time limit! And is for the God of Sakura Championship! Introducing first, in the red corner, standing in at 180 centimeters and weighing in at 81.6 kilograms, from Manchester, UK…. “The Konami Code” Caden Yung!)”
Karin Wholfe: “(And his opponent, in the blue corner, standing at 6’0 and weighing in at 218 pounds, he is from Tokyo, Japan, Naoki Ojima!)”
The fans throw streamers in the ring for both men before the match starts. The bell rings and both circle around each other. Both men take in the crowd and moment as they hear their names cheered, even before they touch. They tie up to get the match going, Naoki gets a slight advantage and locks in a headlock before irish whipping Yung into the ropes, he bounces back and dodges a lariat, Yung goes for a spinning savate kick and it gets dodged by Ojima. Ojima goes for a roaring elbow, which gets blocked. Yung with a forearm, shoved out the way, Ojima with a low kick, but it’s blocked as well. Yung with a flash palm thrust, it hits and he follows with a leg sweep, which is followed by an axe kick.
Yung backs away, just grinning as he knows he got the better of that exchange. Naoki gets back to his feet, and both men go at it again. Caden with a hurricarana attempt. It gets stopped as Naoki catches him and lifts him back up, Caden tries fighting it, but gets dropped with a high angle powerbomb. An early pin attempt and a one count for his troubles.
Yumiko Kanagawa: “(Already a hot and heavy match Kaichan, both not letting up one bit in this one!)”
Yung back to his feet, and comes back with a forearm to Ojima. Ojima hits Caden with one of his own. Both men take turns trying to knock the other off their feet, each strike getting harder and stiffer than the other. Both men continue hitting each other with elbows, knees, forearms and chops. Ojima getting Yung in the corner and hitting him with stiff machine gun chops. About a minute or ten goes by and Caden’s chest is a bruised bloody pile of minced meat. He blocks a chop and gets Naoki in the corner and starts laying into him with chops of his own. Giving his chest hell too and making it look like a newspaper, black and blue and red all over!
Yung backs up a few steps and charges him with a bicycle knee to Naoki’s chest, a move he calls the Fu Tanko. He goes for a pin attempt and gets a two count. A frustrated Caden picks him up and hits him with a suplex, and then another. He walks on him as he goes to climb the top ropes in preparation for his finisher. He goes for the 630 splash.
Kayako Kai: “(Shooting Stars from Caden Yung!)”
Yumiko Kanagawa: “(Ojima has his knees up though! It’s blocked!)”
Naoki grabs his wrists and hammers his knee into Caden with a Kamigoye, he calls TANK! He covers Caden…
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Yumiko Kanagawa: “(Naoki did it! He won the match and the title! It was just one small mistake that did it in for Yung, but you have to believe he’s going to work hard to get back into the title picture!)”
Karin Wholfe: “(Your winner and NEW God of Sakura Champion… Naoki Ojima!)”
We see confetti shoot out from the crowd and rain into the ring as both men lay in the ring, out of breath and beaten. Ojima is the first to his feet as he offers a hand to Yung. Yung slaps it out of his way and goes to the back, frustrated that he couldn’t get the job done tonight. Meanwhile Naoki Ojima is celebrating in the ring as CEO Emi Sakata, COO Kiyomi Yamashita, and the Men’s GM Dexter Point make their way to the ring. We cut to behind the curtain where we see a silhouette slowly clapping and watching everyone in the ring.
Kiyomi gives Ojima a big check from our sponsors tonight worth 100,000 Yen. Dexter gives him a bouquet of flowers and shakes his hand, congratulating him on his win. While Sakata shakes his hand and helps put the title on him. All four pose for a picture before they leave Ojima by his lonesome to celebrate with the fans.
Kayako Kai: “(That’s right, both men tonight are fighting to become the first ever God of Sakura champion! Caden Yung, a former AXW wrestler knows how to fly and get the job done when need be. And Noaki Ojima has traveled the world and faced many tough opponents too, just coming up short in a few matches. Tonight we’ll see if both can keep the momentum going and become champion or fall short and go back to square one with the rest of the roster.)”
Red, yellow, and blue lights dance across the stadium and meet towards the top of the stadium roof around the same time Enter Shikari's electronic prelude begins to blast from the different speakers. The primary colors break, then are replaced with darkness around the same time smoke from the smoke machine begin to crowd the entrance. Like a beacon of hope white light begins to shine from the entrance, the Yung Master's body slices through the smoke like a reaper's blade through a field of grass, launching himself off of a rising platform, spinning to face the crowd, just in time to land in a three-point stance. After landing, he synchs up with his song of choice with a mighty clap-clap-clap, before blasting white light covers him from behind, letting his silhoette project across the arena. After high-fiving with a few fans, he bolts down the ramp, dives into the ring with a slide, then masterfully flips himself to his feet. Both hands raise to the heavens, and he's ready for a battle!
Yumiko Kanagawa: “(Here comes Yung, he put up an impressive showing in his debut match, managing to beat some top talent.)”
Trumpets blast throughout the arena as TANK by the Seatbelts play. The arena fills with cheers as Naoki Ojima makes his way out. Sporting a Maximum Japan jacket, the rookie waves to the crowd as he quickly makes his way to the ring. Rolling inside Naoki stands in the middle of the ring and raises his right hand in the air as green and white streamers fill the ring. Stepping back Naoki takes his jacket off and tosses it outside.

Emi Sakata comes out from the back, mic in hand. She waves to the fans as she makes her way down to the ring. Emi enters the ring with a serious look on her face.
Emi Sakata: "Herro Everyone thank you aru for comingu to our show tonighto. We are... Very Thankfuru for makingu thisu tripu speciaru. Buto... My Engrish is poor so i'ru wiru speaku Japanese. (Thank you all in Ireland for making our first European venture special thus far. We'll be back here in the future for sure! But i'm not out here to just give you thanks. I have many important things to talk about right now. The first i'll start is with the good news. We found a suitable replacement for Yuuko Koizumi. She is a former pro wrestler from back in the 80's and 90's. She is Akane Ueda! Ueda-san will help me manage the women's side of things in SSS.)"
Emi Sakata: "(While Dexter Point will help me run the men's side of things in SSS. With this both Point-san and Ueda-San will both work together to help me make SSS run smoothly. No more will there be anymore American tricks and cliches in our product. No more will there be anymore silly DQs and run ins. No more will there be pointless angles. Every match in SSS will matter and every match in this company can make the wrestlers go from the bottom of the card to a shot at the Goddess of Sakura Title. With that I'm also scouting the world and Japan for more tag teams and a few more male competitors to refill our male division.)"
The happier and more serious look vanishes for a moment from her face as she gets ready to share some news with the fans live in Ireland and watching live at home around the world.
Emi Sakata: "(Now... i'm afraid i have some, well to be blunt, some bad news to share with you all. I'm sure you noticed that Alexis Grace was taken out of the main event tonight. And i know many of your were looking forward to seeing her compete in her home country for the first time ever, but i'm afraid she can't do that tonight.)"
The crowd doesn't really know how to react as they speak english and not japanese.
Emi Sakata: "(I'm afraid Alexis Grace and her tag team partner, Sabrina Faith got in a car accident. Details are still not too scarce to give with you all at this time, but what we do know is that both Sabrina and Alexis are in a local hospital in Japan right now. We're still not too sure how serious their injuries are or what they really are, but we do know they'll have to be out of action for the foreseeable future. We're sorry to have to share this news with you, but we hope you all can understand. Also we'd like to share that Keiji Honda is having Visa issues and we'll not be able to have him on any of our shows for the foreseeable future either.)"
Emi Sakata: "(One final thing, i'm sure you noticed many members have been added to our alumni section, well that's because many of them had failed to show up for media appearances as well as other various events we'd had set up for them. All of them had not returned calls, texts, or emails we had sent them for months now either. So we were forced to quietly fire some and put many others on an unpaid hiatus. That's all i wanted to share tonight. Thank you all for your time.)"

Match Five: XHF Women's Championship; Standard SSS Rules; 60 Minute Time Limit
Nausicaa Suzuki Vs. Hanako Takeuchi
Nausicaa Suzuki Vs. Hanako Takeuchi
Yumiko Kanagawa: “(Our next match is another huge one folks! Finally after nearly 15 years the XHF Women’s Championship is finally active yet again! The title has seen her fair share of ups and downs, but finally in SSS it’s going to come back to the pinnacle of womens pro wrestling!)”
Kayako Kai: “(There’s plenty of great former champions, but now it’s our time to bring this title to the new era! To bring this title out of the era of bras and panties matches and to the era of the best womens pro wrestling not on the network, but in the entire world!)”
花を焼べて 詩を焼べて
誰より険しく美しく
あの日の傷ももらった愛も
全て焼べて 光の方へ
With those words "Tsuki to Hanataba" plays its way into the arena. Shortly afterwards Nausicaä, holding a stuffed cat she calls Charles in her right hand, appears upon the stage with a bright, proud, smile and blows the cheering audience a kiss before heading down the ramp way. Once at ringside Suzuki blows smiles and waves at the crowd before rolling herself into the ring. After entering the ring Nausicaä makes her way over to the furthest ropes to sits on the middle rope and lean back before smiling more cheerfully at the people in attendance tonight while cuddling Charles close to herself.
Yumiko Kanagawa: “(Suzuki beat LXWs Jynn a few weeks ago and now she has a chance to not only win the XHF Women’s Championship, but the X*Crown too!)”
“Babylonian Gorgon” by The Bags hits and the crowd pops. Hanako Takeuchi steps out with a confident, broad-shouldered stride. It doesn't take her long to get to the ring.
Kayako Kai: “(Here comes Hanako Takeuchi! She tied for first in the Mach 20 with STRiFE, only losing out on the finals to losing to that very woman. She’s here tonight to get another title to her collection and kick off the new era of this title!)”
Karin Wholfe: “(This match is set for one fall at a 60 minute time limit and is for the XHF Women’s Championship!)”
Karin Wholfe: “(Introducing first in the red corner, she is from Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan, Standing in at 5’4 and weighing in at 122 pounds, she is Nausicaa Suzuki! And her opponent in the blue corner, she is from Kamagasaki, Osaka, Japan! Standing in at 5’11 and weighing in at 136 pounds, she is “The Black Rose” Hanako Takeuchi!)”
The fans cheer this first time encounter as both women start the match. Suzuki stays cautious as Hanako steps towards her. Suzuki backs away and gets into the ropes calling for a break as Takeuchi attempts to tie up with her. She gets out of the ropes after her opponent backs away. She squares up as she’s going to fight and Hanako starts to get excited as she squares up too.
Suzuki tries to back away again, but this time she gets caught as Takeuchi grabs her by the hair and pulls her in. She gets her in a headlock and starts to work on her head area, dragging her to the middle of the ring before hitting her with a snap suplex. She lifts her back up into a falcon arrow and rolls over for the pin attempt.
ONE!
TW-
Kick out! Suzuki rolls out of the ring to get away.
Takeuchi stays in the ring and urges her to come back in, Suzuki keeps walking around the ring, trying to collect herself again. She walks over to Charles and gets a pep talk from her best friend. She gives a big smile before circling the ring, trying to find the best chance to get back in. Hanako rolls out and starts chasing her after a bit and they both start running around the ring. Nausicaa slides in as does Hanako. Suzuki bounces off the ropes, ducks a lariat, Takeuchi turns around and eats a Dream Crusher running big boot. Nausicaa goes for a pin….
A two count for her troubles, Hanako gets a hold of her arm and locks in a kimura lock. Se puts the pressure on, but Suzuki manages to get a foot on the bottom rope and break it. Both ladies get back to their feet and both women begin to brawl, Suzuki holds her own for a few seconds, until Hanako starts laying off a blitz of strikes onto her. She becomes overwhelmed and gets knocked into the corner. Takeuchi lifts her up and goes for her Shouten finishing move. She drops her, but Suzuki manages to roll her up in a small package instead.
ONE!
TWO!
THR-
No Hanako kicks out! Both women scramble back to their feet. Hanako hits a devastating roundhouse kick onto Nausicaa and goes for a pin. A two count from it for her troubles as they both keep fighting to become champion. Both ladies keep on going with strikes and counters. Suzuki goes for another Dream Crusher, but it gets blocked. Takeuchi goes for another stiff kick, it gets blocked. Spinning backfist from Hanako, picks her up and drops her into a small package driver!
Kayako Kai: “(Black Rose Driver!)”
Yumiko Kanagawa: “(One! Two! Three! That’s it!)”
Karin Wholfe: “(Your winner of this match and NEW XHF Women’s Champion… HANAKO TAKEUCHI!)”
Confetti shoots out into the ring as Hanako and Nausicaa lay in the ring. Both ladies manage to get up and they shake hands before Suzuki exits the ring. COO Kiyomi Yamashita, CEO Emi Sakata, and new women’s GM Akane Ueda all come down to the ring. Yamashita gives her a check from one of our sponsors tonight worth 100,000 Yen. Ueda gives her a bouquet of flowers before Sakata gives her the newly redesigned XHF Women’s Championship. They leave her alone in the ring to celebrate after they all take a picture.

Main Event: IJWF Championship Match; SSS Four Way Dance Rules; 60 Minute Time Limit
Rei Kagura Vs. Jessica Rose Vs. Emi Hirota(C.)
Rei Kagura Vs. Jessica Rose Vs. Emi Hirota(C.)
Yumiko Kanagawa: “(Now’s time for our main event! Tonight we’ll see for the first time ever the International Joshi Wrestling Federations (IJWF) championship defended in an SSS ring and in Ireland as well. For those who aren’t familiar with the IJWF alliance, It consists of SSS, JET and LAW. Our three joshi promotions form this alliance and the IJWF Championship is competed for and won by only the very best in all promotions within the IJWF.)”
Kayako Kai: “(If we were to give a close and more familiar title to compare it to, i’d have to say the XHF’s X*Crown is the equivalent to the IJWF Championship and vise versa. Now that we have that out of the way we’ll give a brief amount of info on the participants of the match. Rei Kagura will be representing JET, she’s been a house of fire down there and has worked with Kaguya-Gun to cause a reign of terror in there. She’s also a former idols of sakura champion in SSS and is very familiar with our fans.)”
Kayako Kai: “(Then there’s LAW’s rep. Jessica Rose, who’s been causing quiet a stir in her home promotion. She’s fought many top competitors in LAW and is looking to bring the IJWF Championship back home to America. Finally we have the woman now representing SSS. She just recently signed with us this month, but her history goes beyond that. She debuted in SSS in last years Winter Festival, going to a time limit Draw with legendary Joshi, Haruna Sakazaki in what was her last match as of this date. She went on to win the IJWF Championship last January and has held it since.)”
Karin Wholfe: “(This match is set for one fall is at a 60 minute time limit! This match is also for the IJWF Championship! Introducing first, Representing JET… she stands at 5’4 and is from Osaka, Japan… Rei Kagura!)”
Karin Wholfe: “(And her opponent representing LAW, standing at 5’6 and weighing in at 121 pounds, from Leeds, England she is… Jessica Rose! And their opponents… she is the inaugural and current IJWF Champion and has one title defense… Standing at 5’1 and weighing in at 115 pounds… coming from Nagano, Japan she is… Emi Hirota!)”
All three women stare each other down as the bell rings and we’re off onto our main event of the evening. Rei rolls out of the ring to save her energy and let her opponents beat the tar out of each other, which is a pretty good idea actually. Jessica and Emi tie up and start working each other early on in the match. Jessica using her height and weight advantage pushes down Emi, bending her back and making her go into a bridge like position over her knee. Jessica keeps the pressure and gets Hiriota down laying on the mat for a pin attempt early on. A one count for it, Emi gets her shoulder up. Rose jumps on her to put more pressure on the pin, but Hirota gets her legs up, flipping over and getting in a pin position. A one count for that as we see Kagura roll in and roll up Hirota. Rose gets her rolled up and we get Hirota giving both a dropkick to end that sequence.
All three ladies get up to their feet and begin to fight again. Rei tries to go back out of the ring but is grabbed by Jessica Rose, who hits her with a brutal saito suplex. Kagura rolls to the side before we see Hirota catch Rose with a dragon suplex onto her. Rose rolls over onto her knees and is met with an attempted roundhouse kick by Hirota. Jessica grabs her foot and gets back to her feet. Rei comes back in and kicks Rose as well. She grabs the foot of Kagura and hits a double dragon screw leg whip on both opponents at the same time! She picks Rei back up and hits her with her signature snap dragon suplex she calls Rock the Dragon Suplex, a bridge and pin attempt.
ONE!
TWO!
THR-
No Kagura kicks out of the pin attempt. Rose picks her back up and goes for another Rock The Dragon Suplex, but Emi gets behind her and grabs her waist for a German Suplex. She hits rose with the german as Jessica hits Rei with the dragon. All three ladies get laid out in the ring as the fans cheer on in the only way they can.
Yumiko Kanagawa: “(Some innovative moves from all three women tonight, they’re giving their very best to get the top prize here!)”
They all get back to their feet now, and start exchanging strikes now. Rei with a forearm to Jessica, Rose with some chops to Emi. Hirota hits a stiff slap on the chest of Kagura. They go back and forth for a good couple of minutes, exchanging strikes with each other. Rose eventually hits her signature brazzillian roundhouse kick on Kagura, who gets knocked into the ropes. At the same time Hirota hits Rose with a spinning hook kick and knocks her down. Only to be flattened by the brutal hip attack from Rei Kagura. Rei climbs up to the top of the ropes to get ready for her finisher. She jumps off and hits the one foot stomp on Hirota!
Kaguya Kai: “(Flying Glico Man!)”
Yumiko Kanagawa: “(One! Two! No! Rose breaks the pin attempt)”
Rose and Rei start fighting each other some more, trading strikes and counters to each other. They start trading off big moves as well, Kagura hits her with Dotonbori Bridge fisherman suplex, only for it to be kicked out at one. Rose hits her with a dropkick and then another. Kagura dodges a third and charges at her with a hip attack. This knocks rose out of the ring.
Kagura picks Emi back up and is met with a stiff forearm to the gut. Emi and Rei start brawling throughout the ring as the crown continues to cheer on. Rei with a suplex, only for Emi to pop back up and hit her with another german suplex. Rei rolls over and gets onto her feet. She charges with another patent hip attack, but is met with a stiff knee trembler right to the jaw. It looks like she may have even gotten knocked out! Emi with the pin….
Yumiko Kanagawa: “(Nagano Knee from Hirota! That’s all she wrote!)”
One!
Two!
Three!
Karin Wholfe: “(Your winner of this match and STILL IJWF Champion… Emi Hirota!)”
Emi can be seen in the middle of the ring celebrating with her title as the fans cheer her on. She celebrates a little more before her as well as her opponents leave the ring.
Yumiko Kanagawa: “(We just saw a very competitive match from these three women tonight. But it was the champ, Emi Hirota who retained her title tonight. We saw our first ever God of Sakura Champion in Naoki Ojima, a new co-GM. The newest XHF Women’s Champion in Hanako Takeuchi. So much from tonight and this week of gold isn’t even over folks!)”
Kayako Kai: “(That’s right Yumichan! We have Night of Champions where we’ll see the Goddess of Sakura championship defended in a Ladder Match! Fukushima’s team won at Violence Dreams; Peaceful Nightmares last sunday, but we’ll see if that momentum will continue as well as her reign. Or if STRiFE can topple another tough opponent as she’s done before. Find out tomorrow night only on the XHF Network! We’ll see you all for Sakura Genesis Ep.14 “Joshi Stampede” in Hakodate, Hokkaido August 31st. Till next time, I’m Kayako Kai, this is Yumiko Kanagawa. Signing off, Bye Bye!)”
Kayako Kai: “(If we were to give a close and more familiar title to compare it to, i’d have to say the XHF’s X*Crown is the equivalent to the IJWF Championship and vise versa. Now that we have that out of the way we’ll give a brief amount of info on the participants of the match. Rei Kagura will be representing JET, she’s been a house of fire down there and has worked with Kaguya-Gun to cause a reign of terror in there. She’s also a former idols of sakura champion in SSS and is very familiar with our fans.)”
Kayako Kai: “(Then there’s LAW’s rep. Jessica Rose, who’s been causing quiet a stir in her home promotion. She’s fought many top competitors in LAW and is looking to bring the IJWF Championship back home to America. Finally we have the woman now representing SSS. She just recently signed with us this month, but her history goes beyond that. She debuted in SSS in last years Winter Festival, going to a time limit Draw with legendary Joshi, Haruna Sakazaki in what was her last match as of this date. She went on to win the IJWF Championship last January and has held it since.)”
Karin Wholfe: “(This match is set for one fall is at a 60 minute time limit! This match is also for the IJWF Championship! Introducing first, Representing JET… she stands at 5’4 and is from Osaka, Japan… Rei Kagura!)”
Karin Wholfe: “(And her opponent representing LAW, standing at 5’6 and weighing in at 121 pounds, from Leeds, England she is… Jessica Rose! And their opponents… she is the inaugural and current IJWF Champion and has one title defense… Standing at 5’1 and weighing in at 115 pounds… coming from Nagano, Japan she is… Emi Hirota!)”
All three women stare each other down as the bell rings and we’re off onto our main event of the evening. Rei rolls out of the ring to save her energy and let her opponents beat the tar out of each other, which is a pretty good idea actually. Jessica and Emi tie up and start working each other early on in the match. Jessica using her height and weight advantage pushes down Emi, bending her back and making her go into a bridge like position over her knee. Jessica keeps the pressure and gets Hiriota down laying on the mat for a pin attempt early on. A one count for it, Emi gets her shoulder up. Rose jumps on her to put more pressure on the pin, but Hirota gets her legs up, flipping over and getting in a pin position. A one count for that as we see Kagura roll in and roll up Hirota. Rose gets her rolled up and we get Hirota giving both a dropkick to end that sequence.
All three ladies get up to their feet and begin to fight again. Rei tries to go back out of the ring but is grabbed by Jessica Rose, who hits her with a brutal saito suplex. Kagura rolls to the side before we see Hirota catch Rose with a dragon suplex onto her. Rose rolls over onto her knees and is met with an attempted roundhouse kick by Hirota. Jessica grabs her foot and gets back to her feet. Rei comes back in and kicks Rose as well. She grabs the foot of Kagura and hits a double dragon screw leg whip on both opponents at the same time! She picks Rei back up and hits her with her signature snap dragon suplex she calls Rock the Dragon Suplex, a bridge and pin attempt.
ONE!
TWO!
THR-
No Kagura kicks out of the pin attempt. Rose picks her back up and goes for another Rock The Dragon Suplex, but Emi gets behind her and grabs her waist for a German Suplex. She hits rose with the german as Jessica hits Rei with the dragon. All three ladies get laid out in the ring as the fans cheer on in the only way they can.
Yumiko Kanagawa: “(Some innovative moves from all three women tonight, they’re giving their very best to get the top prize here!)”
They all get back to their feet now, and start exchanging strikes now. Rei with a forearm to Jessica, Rose with some chops to Emi. Hirota hits a stiff slap on the chest of Kagura. They go back and forth for a good couple of minutes, exchanging strikes with each other. Rose eventually hits her signature brazzillian roundhouse kick on Kagura, who gets knocked into the ropes. At the same time Hirota hits Rose with a spinning hook kick and knocks her down. Only to be flattened by the brutal hip attack from Rei Kagura. Rei climbs up to the top of the ropes to get ready for her finisher. She jumps off and hits the one foot stomp on Hirota!
