Following the match, Kamitani gave a tearful speech in praise of Nakano about how everything she did in her career was because of Nakano and even going as far as retiring her. Nakano responded back with an equally tearful speech and ended up giving a curse to both Kamitani and everyone watching in the crowd. Kamitani and Nakano then went back-and-forth expressing their love and friendship for each other and walked together to the stage. Nakano and Kamitani then sat down tearful and looked on for one last time together as the screen went to black to close out the show.

Tam Nakano: "Saya, can I just ask you one thing? Are you glad you became a pro-wrestler?"

Saya Kamitani: "Of course. I'm so happy to have met you, idiot!"

Tam Nakano: "Tam also had the best life as a pro-wrestler in the universe!"#STARDOM pic.twitter.com/FKQeR9zaLz
