*The other person is Utami Hayashishita
Due to AZM's injury and subsequent absence, the originally scheduled Queen's Quest tag team match has been changed to a three-way match. The Red Belt pre-match between Utami Hayashishita and Momo Watanabe will now involve Saya Kamitani, making it a three-way battle. The match order has also been moved from the main event to the third match. Since Utami became World of Stardom Champion, both wrestlers have requested a pre-match leading up to the December 20th Osaka show. And now, their first pre-match has finally been scheduled. A fierce battle between Utami and Momo is inevitable before the decisive match, but what will happen now that Kamitani has joined the fray? A double pre-match between Queen's Quest and Donna del Mondo is also scheduled for December 16th at Korakuen Hall. Although Momo has a 1-1 record against Utami in singles matches, she is the challenger. Therefore, it seems likely that she will want to take the initiative in this pre-match...

Momo hit Kamitani with a high kick followed by a Peach Sunrise. Utami's cut was too late, and Momo won
Momo: "Shimi, I won today's preliminary match. And on December 16th , I'll be teaming up with that nasty DDM, but I'll win that match too, and on December 20th , in the title match, it will be Watanabe Momo who wears the red belt in the end!"
Utami: "This was an important preliminary match, and I wasn't able to win today, but there's one more preliminary match, right? I'll definitely win that one, and I'll defend this red belt."
Momo's comment
--So the preliminary match has finally been scheduled?
"Yes, finally. We've always been paired together, but we finally got a preliminary match. I realized after the preliminary match that fighting Utami is the best. And I think we'll be able to have the hottest match of the year on December 20th . "
—How did Shimi feel when she actually put her hands together in prayer?
"I really felt that they have a certain confidence. A sense of composure that comes with that confidence. I want to shatter that composure."
—It looked like you changed your target midway through. It looked like you were going for a win against Kamiya instead of Shimi
"That's right. There are still preliminary matches to come, so I didn't want to beat Utami here yet. I just wanted to make an example of her, to show her that I was able to win today."
—So you're planning to take it slowly?
"Yes, I'd like to gradually make them feel anxious, both mentally and physically."
—Do you have anything in mind for the day?
"Yes, I think that's what we're aiming for."
—It was a 3-way trip, but was Kamiya a hindrance?
"Hahaha. That's right. I tried to get rid of them many, many times, but they kept coming back, so I finally crushed them."
—There were moments during the match when Kamiya seemed to be at the center of attention
"Yes, they came out of nowhere. But I thought that was typical of QQ, and that was good, especially at the end."
—So that's why Momo targeted Kamiya?
"Haha. That might have been part of it. We might have crushed them because we didn't want them to interfere with our preliminary battle."
--The main event in Osaka is a red belt match between two QQ stablemates. The semi-main event is a double title match between two DDM stablemates. Are you feeling any pressure?
"Yes, it's true that we have title matches scheduled on the same day. And since it's a match between members of the same stable, I think it's a chance for our units to showcase their skills. But since we were chosen for the main event, we want to win with a solid performance."
--Of the four wrestlers appearing in the main and semi-main events, Momo has the longest career in Stardom. Do you feel like you're a homegrown talent?
"That's right. I've been with Stardom the longest, so I feel like I have to be the one standing there at the end, for the sake of Stardom's future."
—With so many players coming in from outside the team this past year, you must be even more determined to end the season with a homegrown player, right?
"Yes, I do. This is the last and biggest match of the year, so I feel like I, as a homegrown player, have to close it out."
--This summer, you had many single matches scheduled in addition to the 5☆STAR GP, and ideally, you would have wanted to challenge for the red belt at that time. Do you feel like you've been kept waiting?
"I felt like I'd been kept waiting. Mayu Iwatani won the red belt challenge against Jungle Kyona, and I thought I might go for it then, but I was beaten to the punch by several people, and then 5☆STAR started, and Utami won it. I hadn't been able to challenge for it at all since then, so I felt like I was just waiting my turn."
--In addition to the official matches, there were also matches scheduled for the summer against Giulia (the Wonder of Stardom champion) and Iwatani (the World of Stardom champion at the time), but they were canceled
"I was scheduled to team up with Mayu Iwatani for the two Yokohama matches (which were cancelled), so I wanted to challenge for the red belt there as well. After that, Mayu Iwatani defended her title against Syuri, and I was thinking I would challenge for the belt the next day, but that was also cancelled, so my chances just kept disappearing until it came down to the final match."
—But even so, you managed to make it in time (to take on the challenge) right at the very last moment, didn't you?
"Yes, I made it in time, but I still want to be the one to wrap up 2020. "
—So that's when you finally achieved your goal?
"I agree!"
Comment from Utami
-- Have you had a preliminary match against Momo?
"It was a three-way match, but I'm not good at three-way matches, and I wanted to have a good preliminary match with Momo, but because it was a three-way match there was interference, so I couldn't win today, but Momo did get the three count today, but her opponent was Kamiya. I was targeting Momo throughout the match, and it seemed like Momo just wanted to beat Kamiya for the time being, but I don't think you can defeat this red champion with that kind of attitude. I will win the next preliminary match (December 16th at Korakuen Hall), and I will also successfully defend my title in the Osaka title match on December 20th . "
—The main event in Osaka is a title match between fellow Queens Quest members, but the semi-main event is a double title match between fellow Donna del Mondo members. Are you aware of that?
"Well, I saw on Twitter that Giulia said the Giuliavs.Syuri match would be more fitting as the main event, but as the Red Belt Champion and as a homegrown talent, I want Momo and I to have the best match, a match that will show what the future of Stardom is all about."
