RSPW Carnage 32
📺 Live on the Sanctioned Violence Network
📍 Samurai Summit Arena & Casino, Tokyo Japan
📆 22nd August 2025
We begin our broadcast with a stunning shot of the Tokyo skyline at dusk, the city’s neon lights beginning to glow as the camera pans down to the Samurai Summit Arena & Casino. The outside of the venue is a marvel of architecture, with towering facades and a gate-like entrance reminiscent of an ancient Japanese castle. The Rising Sun Pro Wrestling logo is projected onto the exterior walls, and the roar of the crowd can already be heard from within.
We cut to the broadcast booth where Hiro Tanaka and Alex Mercer are seated, a wide shot showing the electric atmosphere of the arena behind them.
Alex Mercer: Welcome, everyone, to RSPW Carnage 32! We are live from the legendary Samurai Summit Arena & Casino in Tokyo, Japan, right here on the Sanctioned Violence Network! The energy in this building is absolutely off the charts tonight!
Hiro Tanaka: The crowd is ready, Alex! And so am I. Tonight marks another step on the road to our next pay-per-view event, Saishū Gekitotsu on October 31st! Every match tonight, every single move, is a statement. A statement that could determine who makes it to the big dance.
Alex Mercer: You’re right, Hiro. And we have a stacked card to get through. We’ll see a battle of styles when the “Shogun of Speed” Sho Imai Jr. takes on the well-traveled King Neptune. Sho is known for his high-flying agility and fluid reversals , while Neptune brings his unique combination of lucha libre and technical prowess. This one is going to be fast-paced.
Hiro Tanaka: And speaking of different styles, we have what is sure to be a beautiful but brutal clash in the women’s division. The “Blossom Warrior” Emi Sato faces off against “The Crimson Flower” Misaki. Emi’s high-flying technique against Misaki’s joshi puroresu and strong-style hybrid. They are two of the most popular competitors in RSPW, and this match could steal the show!
Alex Mercer: The action doesn’t stop there. A rare tag team match is on the horizon, as “The American Menace” Jupiter James teams with the “Phoenix Blossom” Akari Tanaka. What an explosive combination! And they will be taking on the chaotic pairing of “The Tranquil Tempest” Mei Nakamura and “The Steel Samurai” Kazuki Nakamura. The talent in that ring will be off the charts.
Hiro Tanaka: I’ve been looking forward to this next one all week, Alex. We’ll see a battle between two titans of the sport. The “Iron Samurai” Isamu Kurogami will face off against “The Dragon of Osaka” Hiro Ryuu. Both are respected veterans who embody the essence of Puroresu. This match is going to be a technical masterpiece.
Alex Mercer: We have a truly international flavor to tonight’s main event as well, as “The Rising Sun Warrior” Daiki Yutaka goes up against “The Lone Star” Colt Thompson. Daiki represents a fusion of Japanese tradition and international influence , while Colt has made it his mission to dominate RSPW and leave a trail of defeated opponents. This is a classic clash of styles—the disciplined warrior versus the ruthless outlaw.
Hiro Tanaka: The crowd is on the edge of its seats, and so are we. The next few weeks will define the landscape of
Rising Sun Pro Wrestling. Get ready for a night you won’t forget. We go now to our first match of the evening!
Single Match
Sho Imai Jr. vs. King Neptune
A wave of cheers washes over the Samurai Summit Arena & Casino as the lights dim and the iconic, upbeat surf rock of “Banzai Washout” by Dick Dale and his Del-Tones blares through the speakers. The crowd is on its feet, and the camera shows a wide shot of the stands as King Neptune emerges from the entrance tunnel, walking with an air of confidence. He’s wearing his signature trident-inspired gear and gives a humble nod to the fans before entering the ring.
Alex Mercer: Here he is, the pride of Kanazawa, King Neptune! This man is a fan favorite wherever he goes, and you can see why. He’s always willing to give 110% for these fans.
Hiro Tanaka: He is. A well-respected veteran of the Japanese and North American circuits. This man has dedicated his life to the art of puroresu, and he’ll need all that experience to take on the “Shogun of Speed.”
The arena lights change to a vibrant mix of red and black as the powerful J-Rock of “Kaze no Senshi” by SiM begins to play. The crowd erupts as Sho Imai Jr. bursts onto the stage, a youthful intensity in his eyes. He wears his colorful gear with Japanese kanji motifs and jogs to the ring, acknowledging the fans with a salute and a determined grin.
Hiro Tanaka: And here is our other fan favorite, Sho Imai Jr.! The son of wrestling legend Sho Imai , but he’s forged his own path.
Alex Mercer: You can feel the energy he brings to the ring. This is a man who thrives on competition. This match has all the makings of a classic!
The bell rings, and both men bow respectfully to each other. They circle the ring, sizing each other up. Sho offers a handshake, and Neptune, in a show of good sportsmanship, accepts. The crowd applauds this display of mutual respect.
They lock up, with Neptune gaining the advantage with a powerful hip toss, but Sho quickly recovers, kipping up to his feet and motioning to Neptune to come at him. They lock up again, and this time, Sho gets the better of Neptune with a quick snapmare, transitioning into a headlock. Neptune backs him into the ropes and shoves him off. Sho comes back with a running shotgun dropkick that sends Neptune sprawling into the corner. Sho follows with a flurry of strikes and a springboard slingblade, but Neptune kicks out at two!
Hiro Tanaka: An amazing start to this match from both men! Sho is showing that incredible speed we know him for!
Neptune rolls out to the apron to recover, and as Sho goes for a tiger feint kick, Neptune catches his leg and pulls him out to the apron. He sets him up for a release German suplex , and as Sho gets back in the ring, Neptune follows up with a beautiful moonsault to the inside. Neptune goes for the pin, but Sho kicks out at two!
Alex Mercer: This is the kind of back-and-forth action we expected! Neither man is giving an inch!
The match continues with both men trading momentum. Neptune hits a Frankensteiner , but Sho reverses a second attempt into a Magistral Cradle for a two-count. Neptune gets to his feet and lands a series of stiff chops, but Sho ducks a final one and connects with a running tornado brainbuster! Sho goes for the pin, but Neptune somehow kicks out!
Hiro Tanaka: How did he kick out of that?! That was a move that could have ended the match!
Sho, frustrated, heads to the top rope for his finisher, but Neptune gets to his feet and cuts him off! They trade strikes on the top turnbuckle, and Neptune gets the better of him with a high-impact forearm. Neptune goes for the release German suplex, but Sho lands on his feet! Neptune is disoriented, and Sho climbs the top rope, going for the kill. He leaps off, twisting and turning, and lands with a beautiful corkscrew moonsault into a double knee drop to Neptune’s chest! Sho goes for the cover! One! Two! Three!
The bell rings, and the referee raises Sho Imai Jr.’s hand in victory. The crowd is on its feet, a mix of cheers for Sho and a respectful applause for Neptune. Sho, with a look of exhaustion on his face, helps Neptune to his feet. They shake hands and share a few words. Neptune nods and bows to the crowd before leaving the ring, allowing Sho to celebrate. The camera focuses on Sho, who, after a moment to catch his breath, poses for the crowd, pointing to the sky with a triumphant smile on his face.
Backstage
We cut backstage to a brightly lit interview area. Rei Yoshida stands holding a microphone, her expression poised and professional. She smiles at the camera before turning to face her guest.
Rei Yoshida: Ladies and gentlemen, I’m standing here with “The Lone Star,” Colt Thompson. Colt, tonight you face a man who has made a name for himself by bridging Japanese and British wrestling styles,
Daiki Yutaka. What are your thoughts heading into the main event?
Colt Thompson leans against a wall, a smug smirk on his face. He’s wearing a black leather coat and a cowboy hat, surveying the area with disdain before answering.
Colt Thompson: Well now, little lady, it’s a simple fact. You can call him a “Rising Sun Warrior” or a “Bushi Bulldozer” all you want. He can have all the “discipline” and “honor” he likes. But at the end of the day, he’s just another Japanese kid who thinks he can hang with a real man. Daiki Yutaka is about to find out that all his dojo training and his fancy little kicks don’t mean a damn thing when you’re standing across the ring from a true American tyrant.
Rei Yoshida: Daiki has a lot of respect from the crowd for his dedication and commitment to his heritage. Do you not find that admirable?
Colt Thompson lets out a mocking laugh, shaking his head.
Colt Thompson: Admirable? Bless his heart. What’s admirable is raw power and ruthless efficiency. I didn’t come all the way to Tokyo to be admired. I came here to dominate and leave a path of defeated opponents. Tonight is about more than just a win. It’s about proving that the American way—the Texas way—is just better. I’m going to take Daiki Yutaka’s “Rising Sun” and watch it set. I’m going to embarrass him in front of his home crowd, and in doing so, I’m going to prove that American wrestlers are superior.
Rei Yoshida keeps her composure, her expression unreadable.
Rei Yoshida: A bold statement, Colt.
Colt Thompson: It ain’t a statement, honey. It’s a fact. Tonight,
Daiki Yutaka is going to learn the hard way what it means to be the Outlaw of Osaka. He’s getting a one-way ticket to the Lone Star Lock, and when I’m done with him, everyone is going to know that there’s only one tyrant in Rising Sun Pro Wrestling.
He gives one last sneer to the camera before walking away, leaving Rei Yoshida to look back at the camera with a serious expression as the scene fades to commercial.
Single Match
Emi Sato vs. Misaki
The arena is bathed in the gentle glow of pink and white lights as the melodic strains of “Radiant Bloom” fill the venue. A large graphic on the titantron announces Emi Sato. The crowd cheers as the “Blossom Warrior” makes her way to the ring, a bright smile on her face as she high-fives fans on her way down the ramp.
Hiro Tanaka: The crowd loves Emi Sato! Her energy is just infectious. She’s all heart, and you can tell she loves being out here.
Alex Mercer: You can’t help but feel a sense of joy when you see her wrestle. She combines lightning-fast acrobatics with technical finesse, a true hybrid of styles.
The music shifts, and the high-octane rock of “Sakura Slash” by Band-Maid electrifies the arena. The lights dim, and a hush falls over the crowd before a mix of cheers and gasps erupts as “The Crimson Flower”
Misaki makes her way to the ring. She’s wearing her signature crimson and white gear with cherry blossom patterns and bows respectfully before entering the ring.
Alex Mercer: And here is the “Crimson Flower,” Misaki. Poised and composed on the outside, but fiercely competitive in the ring. This is a fan favorite versus a fan favorite. You can feel the anticipation.
Hiro Tanaka: Misaki is all about grace and technicality, using speed, flexibility, and precise targeting to outlast bigger opponents. But Emi is no slouch, either. This is going to be a showcase of Puroresu at its finest.
The bell rings, and the two women bow to one another before circling the ring. They lock up, and Misaki immediately gets the upper hand with a snapmare, transitioning into a headlock. Emi reverses out of it and into a head scissors, but Misaki uses her flexibility to kip up and escape, a seamless counter. They are both back on their feet and the crowd applauds the quick exchange.
Emi goes for a quick roll-up, but Misaki kicks out, and both women get to their feet. Emi connects with a series of quick strikes, but Misaki counters with a running palm strike that sends Emi reeling into the corner. Misaki follows up with her double knees in the corner, but Emi moves out of the way! Emi then lands a beautiful slingshot dropkick and goes for a pin, but Misaki kicks out at two!
Alex Mercer: Unbelievable! Emi came so close to a victory right there!
Emi pulls Misaki to her feet, but Misaki reverses a whip into a beautiful snap German suplex that spikes Emi right on her neck. Misaki goes for the pin, but Emi kicks out at two! Misaki quickly locks in the Octopus Hold, attempting to submit Emi in the center of the ring. Emi struggles, fighting out of the hold, and reverses it into a roll-up, but Misaki kicks out just in time!
Hiro Tanaka: This is what makes a match great, Alex. It’s back and forth, one move after another. Every move is calculated. It is a masterpiece.
Emi gets to her feet and heads to the top rope, going for her Sakura Spiral finisher. She leaps off, but Misaki moves out of the way, and Emi crashes and burns. Misaki, with a fierce look in her eyes, climbs to the top turnbuckle herself. She leaps off, but Emi catches her, rolls her through, and hits a Cherry Blossom Kick! Emi goes for the pin! One, two, Misaki kicks out!
Alex Mercer: I can’t believe it! The match continues!
Emi attempts to pull Misaki up, but Misaki quickly transitions her into an armbar. Emi attempts to roll through, but Misaki locks in a tight armbar, tightening it. Emi is in excruciating pain, but she refuses to give up. The crowd is on its feet, roaring, cheering Emi on. Emi’s arm is almost broken, but she manages to get to the ropes.
Misaki, frustrated, pulls Emi back to the center of the ring. She heads to the corner and looks to be going for the Crimson Bloom. Misaki leaps to the top rope, springboards off, and flies across the ring, locking in a sudden cross armbar! Emi screams in pain, her body contorting in a way it’s not meant to. Emi has no choice but to tap out!
The referee calls for the bell and raises Misaki’s hand. She quickly releases the hold and bows. Misaki kneels next to Emi, who is clutching her arm in pain. She helps Emi to her feet and gives her a respectful nod before leaving the ring, allowing Emi to tend to her arm as the crowd gives a standing ovation to both women.
Hiro Tanaka: An amazing, emotional, and brutal match between two of RSPW‘s best! That was a clinic in wrestling, and Misaki walked away the victor. But both women won the hearts of the crowd tonight.
The camera stays on Misaki, who is walking backstage with a solemn look on her face. Her victory was hard-fought, and she looks exhausted, but triumphant.
Backstage
We cut backstage to a dimly lit corridor. The triumphant music from the ring can still be heard faintly in the background, a stark contrast to the somber mood of King Neptune, who stands with his head down, clutching the ropes from the ring he took off his gear. His back is to the camera, but his slumped shoulders and slow breathing tell the story of a man who is disappointed.
Alex Mercer: A heartbreaking loss for King Neptune in the opening match. He gave it his all, but it wasn’t enough to defeat Sho Imai Jr.
Hiro Tanaka: He is a man of honor, Alex. He always tries to do the right thing, and you can see the toll this loss has taken on him. It’s a tough road for anyone on the way to Saishū Gekitotsu.
Suddenly, the camera pans to show the “Iron Samurai” Isamu Kurogami walking toward King Neptune. Kurogami stops a few feet away, his expression unreadable and his quiet intensity a palpable force.
Isamu Kurogami: (In a low, gravelly voice) Pathetic.
King Neptune slowly turns, his masked face a mask of sorrow. He looks at Kurogami, his body language still showing his disappointment.
Isamu Kurogami: You fought a boy. A child with no experience, and you lost. You are a disgrace to the craft. A man of your supposed experience should be able to dismantle a high-flyer with ease. Instead, you wallowed in their silly theatrics and their “heart” and their “spirit.” That is why you are a loser.
King Neptune: (His voice is low, his words filled with hurt) I gave it everything I had. I…I just fell short.
Isamu Kurogami: Falling short is for those who are weak. You are not a king. You are a clown who panders to children. You are a shadow of what you once were. You are nothing but a memory.
Kurogami takes a step closer, his voice cold and sharp.
Isamu Kurogami: You want to give the fans 110%? I give my opponents pain. I give them a lesson in discipline and hard work. While you are out here bowing and smiling for the fans, I am breaking bones and taking names. You have a choice. You can either wallow in your defeat and be a loser, or you can embrace the path of the samurai and become what you were always meant to be.
Kurogami turns and walks away, the ominous music swelling as he disappears down the corridor. King Neptune is left alone, his head down, his posture defeated. He looks at his hands, and the camera zooms in as he slowly clenches them into fists. The expression on his masked face is now one of silent anger, and he throws the ropes down in frustration. The camera lingers on his tormented expression as the segment ends.
Tag Team Match
Jupiter James & Akari Tanaka vs. Mei Nakamura & Kazuki Nakamura
The dramatic, rock-metal fusion of Jupiter James‘s entrance music fills the arena as red lights and strobe effects flash. She storms down the ramp, a smirk on her face, and is joined by Akari Tanaka, whose “Rising Flames” theme creates an energetic fusion with Jupiter’s. The crowd erupts in boos for the fiery American heel, but cheers for the resilient “Phoenix Blossom.”
Hiro Tanaka: A very interesting partnership. Jupiter James, the “American Menace,” with Akari Tanaka, the “Osaka Ember.” A fiery team, indeed.
Alex Mercer: This is an explosive pairing. Jupiter is a cunning and arrogant heel , and Akari is a determined and resilient high-flyer. They are a perfect storm of ego and tenacity.
The music shifts to a calming, yet intense, instrumental mix of traditional Japanese instruments and synths as Mei Nakamura and Kazuki Nakamura make their way to the ring. The brother-sister duo are greeted with cheers from the crowd. Kazuki, with his flamboyant flair , waves to the fans while Mei, calm and collected, gives a respectful nod to the crowd.
Alex Mercer: Here are the Nakamuras! Kazuki Nakamura, the “Steel Samurai,” and Mei Nakamura, the “Tranquil Tempest.” This is a family affair.
Hiro Tanaka: You have to love the chemistry of this team. They have been wrestling together for years and have a bond that no other team can break. Kazuki’s flair and high-flying acrobatics are the perfect complement to Mei’s technical prowess and strategic mind.
The bell rings, and the match begins with Akari Tanaka and Mei Nakamura in the ring. The two women circle each other. Mei goes for a quick takedown, but Akari reverses with a series of agile kicks. Akari tags in Jupiter, and they hit a double-team move. Akari holds Mei in a suplex position, and Jupiter runs in with a massive knee strike before Akari hits a Northern Lights Suplex. Jupiter covers Mei, but she kicks out at two.
Jupiter dominates Mei for the next few minutes, using a mix of power and aggression, but Mei finally gets the upper hand with a lightning-fast roundhouse kick and tags in her brother. The crowd goes wild as
Kazuki Nakamura enters the ring. Kazuki is all over Jupiter, hitting a series of quick strikes and kicks. He lands the Osaka Twister Kick and goes for a pin, but Jupiter kicks out at two.
Alex Mercer: The pace of this match is unbelievable! The Nakamuras are a well-oiled machine.
Hiro Tanaka: Kazuki’s high-flying theatrics are on full display, but they are also effective. He’s got Jupiter James on the ropes.
Kazuki goes for a Rising Sun Splash, but Jupiter moves out of the way just in time. She tags in Akari, who goes for a pin. Kazuki kicks out at two. Akari goes for a Rising Wings Suplex, but Kazuki reverses it into a roll-up! Akari kicks out, and they both get to their feet. Akari hits a series of strikes and a swift spinning roundhouse kick, but Kazuki is still standing. Akari takes him down and tags in Jupiter.
Jupiter goes for a Viper Strike , but Kazuki dodges it and hits a perfect Sakura Slash that sends Jupiter reeling. Kazuki tags in Mei, who goes to the top rope. She is a picture of calmness as she prepares to leap, but suddenly, the arena lights flash. The dark, intense J-rock music of “Thorns and Petals” by VAMPS plays as the “Black Dahlia,”
Reina Kuroi, appears at the top of the ramp, her eyes accented with smoky makeup and her signature black lipstick.
Alex Mercer: It’s Reina Kuroi! What is she doing out here?!
Mei is distracted by Reina’s presence, and as she turns back, Jupiter James hits her with a Red Comet, a corkscrew missile dropkick. Jupiter then quickly locks in the Scarlet Clutch, but Mei is on the ropes. The referee forces a break, and as the referee is distracted with Jupiter, Reina walks to the ringside and grabs Mei’s leg, pulling her to the outside! The referee sees this and goes to call for a disqualification, but Akari Tanaka runs in and hits a Rising Wings Suplex on Kazuki Nakamura and pins him! The referee turns around and counts the pin! One! Two! Three!
The bell rings, and Jupiter James and Akari Tanaka are announced as the winners. Reina Kuroi stands at the top of the ramp with a cold, sinister smirk. Akari and Jupiter hug in the ring, while Mei and Kazuki look on in shock.
Hiro Tanaka: What a travesty! That was an absolute injustice.
Alex Mercer: The referee was distracted, and Reina Kuroi‘s interference led to the win for Jupiter James and Akari Tanaka! Could Crimson Lotus be here to take over Rising Sun Pro Wrestling?
Backstage
We cut backstage to a dimly lit corridor where the RSPW Junior Heavyweight Champion, Katsuhiro Kaneda, stands with Rei Yoshida. The champion’s face is stoic, his eyes cold and calculating.
Rei Yoshida: I’m here with the RSPW Junior Heavyweight Champion, Katsuhiro Kaneda. Champion, congratulations on your victory at the last PPV. Tonight we saw Sho Imai Jr. pick up a hard-fought win in a great match against King Neptune. Katsuhiro Kaneda doesn’t smile or even look at her directly. He adjusts the title belt on his shoulder, his cold expression unwavering.
Katsuhiro Kaneda: What is there to be impressed about? I saw the match. Two children playing a game. A child with a reputation he didn’t earn on his own against a clown. He won, yes. But he did so by flying around like a circus performer. My style is about substance, about ruthless efficiency, and about victory through intellect, not through flips and kicks.
Rei Yoshida: Sho Imai Jr. is a very popular competitor. Many would argue that his style is the future of Puroresu. Do you not see him as a worthy challenger for your championship at Saishū Gekitotsu?
Katsuhiro Kaneda scoffs, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Katsuhiro Kaneda: The future of Puroresu? The future is a man who can systematically dismantle his opponents. The future is a man who can dominate and humiliate anyone who stands in his way. My fighting style is a hybrid of high-flying agility and brutal technical wrestling. I can do everything Sho Imai Jr. can do and more. He is just another undisciplined child. I am a predator.
He looks directly into the camera, his eyes burning with arrogance and superiority.
Katsuhiro Kaneda: You want to see a worthy challenger? I don’t see one. All I see is a hunting ground full of prey. The RSPW Junior Heavyweight Championship deserves a competitor who respects the craft and not a competitor who relies on flashy moves to win. If he wants to challenge me, he can come find me. But he should know that my belt will not be an easy prize. It will be his tombstone.
Kaneda walks off, leaving Rei Yoshida standing alone as the camera holds on her thoughtful expression.
Single Match
Isamu Kurogami vs. Hiro Ryuu
The haunting, slow instrumental of “Samurai Spirit” by Yasunori Mitsuda fills the Samurai Summit Arena & Casino. The crowd, a mix of old-school fans and younger viewers, watches in respectful silence as the “Iron Samurai” Isamu Kurogami walks to the ring. His movements are deliberate and calculated, his eyes locked on the squared circle, exuding an air of mystery and danger.
Hiro Tanaka: The atmosphere in this arena just changed, Alex. Isamu Kurogami is here. A grizzled veteran who prefers his actions to do the talking.
Alex Mercer: He is a master of his craft, known for his relentless commitment and a no-nonsense attitude. This man is a perfectionist , and he has little patience for the flashiness of modern wrestling.
The music shifts, a dramatic fusion of traditional Japanese instruments and energetic rock, as Hiro Ryuu’s theme begins. The crowd erupts with chants of “Ryuu! Ryuu!” as the “Dragon of Osaka” jogs down the ramp, waving to the fans. He is a respected veteran and a heroic face.
Alex Mercer: Here is the “Dragon of Osaka,” Hiro Ryuu! A true hero who embodies honor and resilience. He spent a decade wrestling in the United States, and now he is back to mentor the next generation.
Hiro Tanaka: He may be a mentor, but he is still fiercely competitive. This is going to be a battle between two of the most respected veterans in all of Japan.
The bell rings, and both men stand in the center of the ring, bowing to each other in a show of mutual respect. They lock up, and the power and technical expertise of both men are immediately on display. Kurogami gets the upper hand with a powerful hip toss, but Ryuu quickly gets to his feet and returns the favor with a Rising Dragon Suplex that plants Kurogami on the mat. Ryuu goes for the pin, but Kurogami kicks out at one.
They stand and face off again. This time, Kurogami lands a series of forearm strikes, but Ryuu answers with a few of his own. The two men trade strikes in the center of the ring, each blow landing with a sickening thud. Ryuu gets the better of the exchange, landing a Dragon Spiral Kick that sends Kurogami reeling into the corner. Ryuu attempts a running strike, but Kurogami catches him with a spinning backfist, the Samurai’s Edge. Kurogami goes for the cover, but Ryuu kicks out just in time.
Alex Mercer: My goodness! The shots in this match are brutal!
Hiro Tanaka: These two men are not holding anything back. Every move is calculated, and every move is a statement.
Kurogami then locks in the Kuro Lock, an excruciating submission hold that traps Ryuu’s arm behind his back and places pressure on his spine. Ryuu screams in pain but refuses to give up. He fights his way to his feet, and as Kurogami attempts to transition to another move, Ryuu counters with a Phoenix Strike, a high-impact elbow to the head. Ryuu goes for the pin, but Kurogami kicks out.
Ryuu pulls Kurogami to his feet and lands the Osaka Lock, a submission hold that targets both the arm and neck. Kurogami is in trouble! He crawls toward the ropes, but Ryuu pulls him back to the center of the ring! Ryuu attempts to tighten the hold, but Kurogami uses his judo expertise to counter, and he lands the Hara-Kiri DDT, driving Ryuu’s head into the mat with force.
Alex Mercer: What a move from Kurogami! The experience of these two veterans is on full display tonight!
Hiro Tanaka: Ryuu is in a world of hurt. He may be the “Dragon of Osaka,” but he is in a fight for his life!
Kurogami pulls the dazed Ryuu up, hoists him onto his shoulders, and transitions into a brutal Kurogami Crucifix. He traps Ryuu’s arms in a modified crucifix hold while applying pressure to his back with his knee. Ryuu is in immense pain, his face contorted. He has nowhere to go. Ryuu has no choice but to tap out.
The bell rings as Kurogami releases the hold. Ryuu is left writhing on the mat, clutching his back in agony. Kurogami stands over him with a cold glare before looking down at him. He extends a hand to Ryuu, but Ryuu, in an act of defiance, swats his hand away. Kurogami simply nods, a glimmer of respect in his eyes, before calmly walking back up the ramp as the camera holds on the defeated Hiro Ryuu.
Backstage
We cut backstage to a wide shot of a long, pristine hallway, the walls adorned with framed posters of past wrestling legends. The three members of The Crimson Lotus — Jupiter James, Akari Tanaka, and Reina Kuroi — are seen storming down the hall. Jupiter James leads the trio, her red hair a blazing streak of defiance, while Reina Kuroi and Akari Tanaka walk with a focused intensity behind her. The trio stops at the door of the COO, a polished wood plaque on the door reading, “Hiroshi Fujimoto – Rising Sun Pro Wrestling COO.”
Reina Kuroi, with her trademark unsettling calm, opens the door without knocking, and the three women storm in.
Hiro Tanaka: What in the world is going on? They can’t just barge into Mr. Fujimoto’s office like that! That is disrespectful!
The camera cuts to the office, a spacious, elegant room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Tokyo skyline. Hiroshi Fujimoto is seated at a large wooden desk, his expression a mix of surprise and annoyance.
Hiroshi Fujimoto: What is the meaning of this? Do you not know how to knock?
Jupiter James steps forward, placing her hands on the desk. She looks at Hiroshi Fujimoto with a fiery, unapologetic gaze.
Jupiter James: We don’t have time for formalities. You saw what happened tonight. The Crimson Lotus is the most dominant force in Rising Sun Pro Wrestling. We are a unit, a complete force. And what do we have to show for it? Nothing.
Akari Tanaka moves to Jupiter’s side, her expression unwavering.
Akari Tanaka: There is no championship to truly recognize the power and dominance of a team in this company. Our victory tonight was a statement. But it was just that, a statement. We want something more.
Reina Kuroi silently takes a seat in one of the chairs facing the desk. Her presence is commanding and unnerving as she folds her hands calmly in her lap.
Reina Kuroi: Dominance is meaningless without a symbol to prove it. You have a Heavyweight Championship and a Junior Heavyweight Championship. But what about us? We are the future of this company, and we should be recognized as a unit. We demand a championship that recognizes the teams of Rising Sun Pro Wrestling.
Hiroshi Fujimoto stands up, his voice stern but measured. He walks around his desk and stands in front of the window, his back to the trio.
Hiroshi Fujimoto: I don’t appreciate being barged in on and being given demands. This company is built on honor and respect. You have shown me none of that. However, I am a businessman, and I understand the need for a team’s championship. I will consider it.
He turns to face them, his eyes serious.
Hiroshi Fujimoto: But do not mistake my consideration for an invitation to disrespect me. Leave my office, and do not return until you are invited.
Jupiter James looks at her two stablemates, a subtle smirk forming on her face as she nods. They have said what they came to say. The trio turns and walks out of the office, as composed as when they came in. Hiroshi Fujimoto watches them leave, his expression one of deep contemplation.
Alex Mercer: This is a bold move by The Crimson Lotus. They are not just here to compete; they are here to dominate.
Hiro Tanaka: And with a potential new championship on the horizon, they may have just changed the entire landscape of Rising Sun Pro Wrestling.
Single Match
Daiki Yutaka vs. Colt Thompson
The arena is shrouded in a slow, menacing atmosphere as the heavy southern rock of Colt Thompson‘s entrance music begins to play, punctuated by the sound of galloping hooves and gunfire. The “Lone Star” walks down the ramp with a cowboy hat and a long leather coat, his expression a mix of disdain and confidence. He surveys the crowd with a sneer, a classic foreign heel.
Alex Mercer: Here he is, “The Lone Star,” Colt Thompson! This man is a calculating, ruthless brawler who thrives on intimidation and dominance. He’s made it very clear what his intentions are in Rising Sun Pro Wrestling.
Hiro Tanaka: He has, Alex, and the crowd here in Tokyo absolutely despises him. He has no respect for the traditions of Puroresu, and he has a chip on his shoulder a mile wide.
The music shifts to the uplifting sounds of “Honorable Pursuit” by Tokyo Thunder, and the crowd erupts in cheers for Daiki Yutaka. “The Rising Sun Warrior” makes his way to the ring, his expression one of stoic determination. He acknowledges the crowd with a respectful nod, his focus entirely on the man in the ring.
Hiro Tanaka: And here is our hometown hero, Daiki Yutaka! He represents the fusion of Japanese tradition and international innovation. He is a man of discipline, and he will not back down from a fight.
Alex Mercer: This is a classic clash of styles, Hiro. The power-based brawler versus the strong-style striker. Daiki has a tough challenge ahead of him tonight. He’s not just fighting
Colt Thompson, he’s fighting everything Colt stands for.
The bell rings, and the two men circle the ring. Colt offers a handshake, but when Daiki reaches out to take it, Colt pulls his hand back with a cocky smirk, taunting him. Daiki, undeterred, goes for a lock-up. Colt uses his size and raw power to his advantage , shoving Daiki into the ropes and hitting a massive Texas Slam! Colt goes for the pin, but Daiki kicks out at two.
Colt pulls Daiki to his feet and begins to work him over with a series of hard-hitting strikes and punishing slams. He hits a devastating Outlaw Strike, a running knee to a cornered opponent, and goes for the pin, but Daiki kicks out again. Colt, frustrated, picks Daiki up and begins to mock him, shouting insults at him in English.
Hiro Tanaka: This is disgraceful! Colt Thompson is showing a complete lack of respect.
Alex Mercer: This is a part of his psychological warfare, Hiro. He’s trying to get under Daiki’s skin and get him off his game.
Daiki fights back with a flurry of strikes, but Colt cuts him off with a stiff forearm. Colt attempts a Lariat from Hell, but Daiki ducks under it and lands a quick Bushido Strike, a precise kick to the head. Daiki follows it up with a Rising Sun Suplex, which sends Colt crashing to the mat. Daiki goes for the pin, but Colt kicks out at two.
The match continues with Daiki in control, but Colt uses his deceptive agility for a man his size and reverses a whip into a massive spinebuster. Colt hits another one before pulling Daiki up. Colt hooks Daiki’s arms and lifts him onto his shoulders for a fireman’s carry. He then transitions into a crushing full nelson submission while planting Daiki’s back against the mat! Colt locks in the Lone Star Lock, and Daiki has nowhere to go. Daiki screams in pain, and after a moment, he has no choice but to tap out!
The bell rings, and Colt Thompson is announced as the winner. Colt releases the hold and gets to his feet, a triumphant smirk on his face. He grabs his cowboy hat, which was knocked off earlier, and puts it back on. He stands over the defeated Daiki Yutaka and points at him with a look of pure dominance. The crowd rains down boos, but Colt simply raises his arms in the air, a sign of his victory.
Hiro Tanaka: A truly dominating victory for Colt Thompson. He did exactly what he said he was going to do.

Ringside
The camera shows a wide shot of the ring, where Daiki Yutaka is being attended to by the ring announcer and a referee. He looks exhausted and frustrated after his loss. The boos from the crowd are still audible.
Hiro Tanaka: A brutal loss for Daiki Yutaka tonight, Alex. Colt Thompson proved to be an opponent he couldn’t overcome. A truly dominating performance by the American.
Alex Mercer: He did, Hiro. And it begs the question, who can stop this man? Colt Thompson has made a clear statement in Rising Sun Pro Wrestling.
Suddenly, Colt Thompson‘s music hits again, and the crowd erupts in a mix of confused groans and loud boos. The “Lone Star” storms back down the ramp with a steel chair in his hand, a malevolent smirk on his face. He slides into the ring and, to the horror of the crowd, raises the chair above his head. The ring announcer and referee try to stop him, but Colt shoves them both aside.
Hiro Tanaka: What in the world is he doing? He’s going to hit him with that chair! This is not right!
Alex Mercer: He’s not done! He’s going to add insult to injury! This is a man who loves to humiliate his opponents.
Colt raises the chair higher, ready to strike, but suddenly the dramatic, drum-heavy track of Yoshi Ono‘s entrance music blares through the arena. The crowd goes wild as “The Osaka Bull” comes running down the ramp, his expression one of pure rage. Colt turns to face his new opponent, surprised by the interruption. He throws the chair at Yoshi, but Yoshi swats it away with one arm.
Yoshi slides into the ring, and the crowd is on its feet, roaring. Colt charges at him, but Yoshi catches him with a powerful shoulder charge, a Bull Rush, that sends Colt stumbling into the corner. Yoshi follows up with a series of forceful open-hand strikes to Colt’s chest, a Thunder Palm Strike, that has Colt reeling. Yoshi then grabs Colt and, with a powerful Dohyo Toss, sends the “Lone Star” flying across the ring.
Colt scrambles to his feet and grabs the chair again, but Yoshi charges him. Colt manages to get a chair shot on Yoshi, but it has little effect. Yoshi stands there, his hands on his hips, simply staring at Colt. Colt, with a look of pure fear in his eyes, drops the chair and slowly backs up the ramp. He is face to face with a man who is bigger and stronger than him.
Hiro Tanaka: The crowd is on its feet! They love Yoshi Ono! He came to save the day!
Alex Mercer: The Osaka Bull has arrived, and he is not here to play games. This is a man who is a true powerhouse, a man who is built for a fight.
The crowd chants “Yoshi! Yoshi!” as the show goes off the air. The final image is Colt Thompson at the top of the ramp, his face a mix of rage and disbelief, staring down the calm and dominant figure of Yoshi Ono in the ring. The stage has been set for a future showdown.
