Queen's Quest's Momo Watanabe and COSMIC ANGELS' Mina Shirakawa will clash in a singles match. For Momo, who has already been scheduled to challenge her stablemate Utami Hayashishita for the red belt, all the matches leading up to the December 20th Osaka show will be tune-up matches leading up to the big event. There is a possibility that this will include a direct confrontation with Utami, but first and foremost, she needs to secure victories against any opponent. Her opponent today is Shirakawa, in her first singles match. She will be looking to show the newcomer to Stardom the strength of a homegrown talent.

Tam Nakano and Sayaka Unagi's COSMIC ANGELS will face Riho and Saya Iida. Nakano formed a unit within STARS, but it seems that her bringing Unagi in without Iwatani's permission has caused a rift in her relationship with Iwatani within STARS. The question is how to enhance COSMIC ANGELS' value in this situation. This match against Riho's team could be a test of that. Teamwork between Nakano and Unagi will be key

Donna del Mondo, the women who burst forth to the world. Salamapo. See you again. Thank you!"
Comment from DDM
Akari: "Donna del Mondo won the opening match at Mutsu Maeda Arena. And what's more, Himeka is from there..."
Himeka: "I'm happy because he's from Aomori."
Akari: "I was determined to win, so I think this was a good opportunity to make a good impression."
Giulia: "Well, the main event of the opening was snatched away by these three strongest DDM members. The fact that they were able to decisively defeat the champions of QQ means that, in my opinion, they will be fighting in the main event of Queen's Quest on December 20th in Osaka? A showdown between stablemates, a showdown between stablemates. I also think that the semi-main event was a battle against QQ, so perhaps it was a preliminary match in a different sense? Thank you, Shuri."
Akari: "Thank you. I'm really looking forward to it."
Julia "Arrivederci"
Akari: "Salamapo"
