00:00NUMBER ONE CONTENTER MATCH
00:06We are going to win a win for 30 minutes.
00:30beta has been incredible to see all the opportunities that the women of stardom wrestling are getting
00:50on american soil whether it's with only wrestling ring of honor or here tonight in new japan of
00:55america but tonight it is not stardom versus stardom it is stardom versus the former because azami faces
01:02off against the newly aw side mina shirakawa a woman who she has beaten before she has beaten her before
01:09and mina shirakawa has been in aw she has been to a place you know where she took like we said she bet
01:17upon herself it looks like maybe azame it looks like she is on a very similar path but she has
01:32been looking for that singles match with mercedes today something that mina shirakawa has done
01:38she is looking for that singles match she has the opportunity to get it here tonight
01:41so
02:08exp beyond alive and well in the heart and soul of mina shirakawa even if she is no longer
02:22stardom bound however the goal tonight to do something which she has never done before
02:28defeat azami in a one-on-one matchup we're going to talk about that match history later on beta
02:33but you are correct and one thing you said earlier on this is the only woman that mercedes
02:39mané has faced off against in her singular tokyo dome appearance and while mané might have gotten
02:44the victory on that evening it has been a chip sitting on the shoulder for shirakawa ever since
02:50yeah she has been looking to get back in the ring with mercedes mané
02:55and just like azame has the opportunity to become the next challenger for that match it's going to go down in may
03:02echo to the head you should be

03:45earlier today when she came back with a sack full of like presents and treats and things
03:49everyone wants Mina yeah that is not surprising whatsoever
03:52as the bell sounds we are officially underway it is one full 30 minute time limit here tonight
04:02both of these women have faced off against Mercedes-Benz in the past
04:08Mina Shirakawa as recently as the Tokyo Dome back at WrestleDynasty
04:13Azami it takes you back over a year ago for the IWGP Women's Championship that was a three-way match
04:20never a singles match with Mercedes-Benz in the past we're going to see if Azami can lock that in
04:25tonight for May 9th and resurgence and at the same time if we're whoa shoulders down if we're talking
04:32about about a year ago here at Windy City Riot Azami she was able to challenge for the strong
04:37shoulders down again for the strong women's championship was not successful at that time
04:44she's been looking for a rematch as well and these two are just so evenly matched
04:49you know talk to me a little bit about this beta it feels as though there's a greater sense of
04:55urgency Azami will have here tonight compared to Mina Mina's about to start officially at an
05:00organization full-time where Mercedes-Benz Mané competes consistently that being AEW
05:05Azami has no idea the next time she could even possibly share a ring with Mané again
05:10oh you're right about that I mean there is a lot on the line for Azami including like you said
05:19it is a guaranteed title shot
05:21that time is limited the number one contendership on the line here is Shirakawa
05:26the kick right to the spine whoa and right out of the way Azami to make this one quick
05:31high-speed bomb girl made a name for herself in that division in stardom and looks to carry that over
05:37for the strong women's title tonight
05:39you know what we're talking about Azami and the Tokyo Dome here's the cover for Azami one more time
05:47will only find two immediately takes control of that arm data trying to keep Mina in the center of the ring
05:54Mina maybe a little too early for that able to scramble to the ropes just 24 hours before Mina
06:02Shirakawa was defeated by Mercedes-Benz Mané that Azami was defeated by Mayu Iwatani in the Tokyo
06:08Dome for the IWGP women's title and to be written here tonight for Azami over Mina here's
06:17the cover and it's not enough continuing to go after the arm and Mina is smiling though she is ready
06:30for a challenge there's an 0-1-1 record one draw one victory for Azami in the five-star Grand Prix 2023
06:42nothing for Shirakawa something to change here tonight for the newest AEW signee and I think
06:49we'd all agree that it is a very different Mina Shirakawa in the ring now in 2025 than even in 2023
06:54right has grown so much as a competitor and oh
06:58as Shirakawa wanting to make this one quick continuing the attack on the knees you know that
07:07Shirakawa loves to utilize that figure four leg lock yeah it looks like that is the plan right now she
07:12almost had the legs figure forward I don't know what figure that is she almost had the legs figure
07:17forward in the ropes I mean that is clear that that is the plan that is the direction she is moving
07:23I will say though split crown here in Chicago a little shocking but a nice little homecoming
07:32for Azami back to Chicago as off the middle rope a little bit too much distance caught off the disaster by Shirakawa
07:42and we're gonna find the cover here a new number one contender and it is not enough yet
07:47well but relentless right back to her leg and you were right figure four
07:51looks like it's stitched in Azami is frantically trying to get to the rope she knows the danger she would be in
07:58yeah Azami has been on the other side of that figure four for me to Shirakawa many many times in the past
08:06most recently their last new japan pro wrestling appearances opposite one another
08:10january battle in the valley in that eight-woman tag team match
08:15whoa
08:16Mina Dukiruma got caught in the rebound and she might be out
08:20got the roundhouse the second time and finds Azami on the run high speed high risk
08:27and a deep collapse dead center these women are down
08:41so much on the line a match at next month's resurgence a chance
08:47at the new japan strong women's championship i mean you can tell how important this is to both of them
08:53five minutes in he's already so physical
08:57oh
09:15well Mina with a flurry
09:17wow
09:17as much as the world has been chanting we want Meena everybody has been trying to get their hands on
09:22Meena, everybody has been trying to get their hands on Mercedes-Benz.
09:26Here's to a brain buster!
09:29Going for a brain buster!
09:34No, Azumi turns it around.
09:38And we're going to be seeing all three here tonight in Chicago.
09:45Each knee side, Azumi lands it down.
09:48Here's the cover off the suplex, and it's only two.
09:52Explosive burst of energy and repositioning Meena Chirikawa.
10:01We talked about that sense of urgency in Azumi.
10:05No short of energy here tonight.
10:08Is going to need everything in her power for her to walk away.
10:11The new number one contender.
10:13Uh-oh, Meena's back up.
10:22Oh, this is dangerous territory here.
10:31Uh-oh.
10:35Oh, that's risky business.
10:38That's risky business right there.
10:39Oh, Chirikawa's hung up!
10:41And that's Azumi exactly in position right where she'll want her.
10:45No!
10:46Chirikawa right out of the way.
10:48And look at this.
10:49Jammed up that right knee.
10:51And Azumi.
10:51Oh, and that is...
10:52That is a target for Meena Chirikawa for sure.
10:56One of the smartest players in the game.
11:01Chirikawa.
11:01Oh, sleeper slam off the top.
11:05And the cover for Meena.
11:07No.
11:11Meena Chirikawa believes that it is destiny for her to face off against Mercedes-Benz one more time
11:17from the Tokyo Dome to Ontario, California.
11:20She is just a count of three away.
11:25Oh, Azumi escapes.
11:27Oh, Azumi escapes.
11:27Oh, Azumi escapes.
11:31Oh, Chirikawa, victory roll right through into the legs.
11:35The Clamers, figure four, figure four Meena locked in right here.
11:40And we saw Azumi, we saw her injure that knee as she came down.
11:46Now, there's a world of agony going through that knee right now.
11:50Chirikawa trying to put all the pressure she can on the knee of Azumi.
11:54And Azumi desperately to the bottom rope.
11:56Can she make it?
11:58Oh, she's close, but no, Meena.
12:00No, no, no, no, no.
12:02No, no, no, no.
12:03Not close enough.
12:12Azumi, one more time.
12:14Gross of energy to that bottom rope.
12:16And still adheres to it.
12:18able to break the whole bit she was trapped in that figure four for a long
12:28time this is great strategy out of shirikawa veda as he is known for her
12:34high speed and you take away that base what left is there to fight off it could
12:38be this beautiful fighting here
12:48molecules away from the canvas a lot of people questioning referee title whoa
12:53that can't be done here watch for it now how's we full control since we're in the
12:59arms now
13:05is trapped verbal submission she's she is trapped in this hold and I like this out
13:13of as me if it's not working the first time let's change it the second all of
13:17shirikawa's body weight on that left side or right side rather and as me it has
13:22that right arm in control cover
13:30shirikawa put as me through the ring technically and now as me looking to do
13:35the exact same thing even the wrist is bent backwards
13:41and me I could see the rope this entire time
13:5010 minutes of time 10 minutes
13:5310 minutes of passion to the bottom rope
13:58the seizing of the leg from shirikawa to let nakabayashi know that that leg was there
14:06me it's gonna go out of the ring ice is gonna go out fighting
14:19Wow, Nina Shirakawa is going to go out fighting.
14:29Numero Uno was not enough for Azami.
14:31And the sweep of the leg might take it here.
14:34Now watch this.
14:35Azami, roundhouse on the apron.
14:37And Shirakawa to the outs.
14:41One.
14:43Two.
14:46Three.
14:48Four.
14:49Azami back on her feet.
14:51Five.
14:53Oh, but wait.
14:54Six.
14:56Seven.
14:59Wait a minute, Azami.
15:00Azami won it on the outside instead of the end.
15:02And Shirakawa, oh, right back on the knees.
15:05There is no way that Azami can get back inside the ring right now.
15:10Four.
15:1313.
15:14Count of 13, count of 20 is going to end this matchup.
15:17Wait a minute.
15:18No, wait.
15:19No, wait.
15:19No, wait.
15:1915.
15:20Rana to the outside.
15:2216.
15:23Oh, into the guardrail.
15:2517.
15:25We're at 17.
15:26Yeah, women, we got a match going on.
15:2818.
15:28That we need to get back inside for.
15:3119.
15:32Shirakawa, a count of 19.
15:3420.
15:35And this one's over.
15:37And Mina tried to get back in the ring, but.
15:46And this is a questionable call.
15:50In the mind of our fans, but referee Taito Nakabayashi, bless his heart, is just doing his job tonight.
15:57I mean, Azami's skull connected with the concrete at like 19 and a half.
16:03Mina did not try to get back in the ring, and he made the right call.
16:07I mean, Shirakawa's frustrated.
16:09Azami's just the same.
16:10Neither of these women look like they'll be in line for a title opportunity against Mercedes
16:151A now.
16:16They're both knocking on their feet.
16:25Yeah, I don't know what this means.
16:30But I understand.
16:31I understand the frustration for both of them.
16:34You fly 14 hours from your home country to Chicago, Illinois, for one thing.
16:44For an opportunity.
16:45For a dream solidified and a purpose.
16:48And now, it looks like neither woman will have their opportunity fulfilled against Mercedes
16:531A.
16:54I have no idea what to make of this one.
16:57If there's such a thing as wanting it too much, I think that's what we saw here tonight.
17:02I think they were so focused on destroying each other.
17:07Well, folks, we are going to look to turn our attention away from the number one contendership
17:11in the strong women's title to now the strong openweight tag team titles on the line.
17:15World-class wrecking crew seek out a second defense.
17:17It's Drill Nelson and Royce Isaacs against the Interclad Conjet centers, Kevin Knight and Kushida.
17:22And it's coming up next.
17:23And these two may not be done yet.
