Guest Stefanie Without Stefanie Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 It seems unlikely due to her recovery time from her injuries, but if X was Jungle Kyona, I would be overjoyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my inner selfish brat says I miss her greatly and hope she comes back soon. (As long as she's healthy, of course.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.H. Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 The question is, who will lead OT in her absence? James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Maybe it’s time to strap the rocket to Starlight Kid. Nobody else on that team is as compelling her at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quackhell Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I think it will likely be Saki, but SLK would be an interesting way to go. Feel so bad for Tora. She and OT were becoming quite the force of chaos in Stardom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 That sucks. Been really liking the makeup of the current Oedo Tai. As far as who leads in her absence goes, that will be interesting. There is an argument to be made that Natsuko doesn't necessarily have to give up leadership, but that feels unlikely with her being gone until this time next year. Saki and Konami are the most likely candidates to take over, but I wouldn't be shocked if we see someone come in from one of the other factions to lead. I kind of half suspect Himeka will ditch DDM for OT. I was getting that feeling even before Natsuko's injury. I think her pestering DDM over Maika was a misdirect.

quackhell Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 (edited) That seems out of left field to me...but I don't hate the idea. I also think Konami fills the strong second in command badass role more than the leader. Edited July 5, 2021 by quackhell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Going over chrome translations of Stardom's Japanese twitter it looks like Maika tried to bring Momo into DDM, and MaiHimePoi are the next Artist challengers. Also looks like we are getting Mayu vs. Oedo Tai for Kid in a 1 vs. 5 match. I'm guessing that will be a gauntlet style match with Kid either beating Mayu at the end or helping Konami beat her.

Eivion Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Presumably Himeka starts when she is fully healed up. They have more than twenty shows to go so they can give her some extra time off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Spoiler Arisa Nakajima gave Nanae a gnarly headbutt to the back of the head at the end of their match. Arisa gave her the German suplex deal, I think she calls it DxD. After some song and dance Aniki and Arisa squared up. That should be really good. As undeniable as Ryo Mizunami is, I'm sad to see Asuka lose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nofuture Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Saya accidentally revealing Iroha as "X" was pretty hilarious. The Blue Block was pretty stacked already. My guess will be Giulia vs Iroha in the finals with Giulia winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.H. Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 It isn't really a betrayal in thaditional heel turn sense though. Like, if Lawler and Dundee were feuding with Jimmy Hart's Family and Dunde turned on Lawler by saying "Jerry, mate I'm joining Hart because I don't feel I've grown staying with you" even Lance Russel be like "Is this guy for real". SLK being won back but then saying "Mayu, I've grown more in a month in OT than yeaar as your #2 so I'm staying put" is so unconventional for a wrestling angle BUT makes total sense in the storyline.
