Waka Tsukiyama● |
| Iwatani Mayu | Eel and Sayaka | |
STARS, consisting of Mayu Iwatani and Hanan, will face off against COSMIC ANGELS, consisting of Sayaka Unagi and Waka Tsukiyama, in a tag team match. Hanan defeated Ryuka at Ryogoku on December 29th to become the Future of Stardom Champion. Hanan has fulfilled her promise to Unagi, and this will be her first match against a former champion since winning the belt. Furthermore, Tsukiyama, Unagi's partner, has met the requirements to challenge for the title, so a title match between Hanan and Tsukiyama is also a possibility. For that reason, this will be an important match for both Hanan and Tsukiyama. Will the STARS teamwork of Iwatani and Hanan prevail, or will Unagi, the next challenger for the white belt, be able to lead Tsukiyama and secure a challenge?

The previous day at Korakuen Hall, MIRAI teamed with Syuri and Maika to achieve a decisive victory against Shirakawa, Mai Sakurai, and Wakana Tsukiyama, with MIRAI securing the finish. But that wasn't all; she also declared her intention to challenge her partner Syuri for the Red Belt. Syuri has accepted the challenge, which means MIRAI needs to show her best before the title match. The day before, MIRAI reunited with Shirakawa, with whom she had also teamed during her time in Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling, and secured a direct victory against the team's leader. Shirakawa, who suffered a bitter defeat, will naturally be looking for revenge. As the next challenger for the Red Belt, MIRAI will undoubtedly be under intense scrutiny. The encounter with Nakano, the former champion with the white belt, is also a major highlight.

Momo: "Don't get cocky, rookie. So, what's up, AZM-chan? AZM-chan, are you watching? What happened? Did you get destroyed? Did you run away today because I destroyed you yesterday?"
Kid: "Wow, you really did it, huh? Hahaha."
Momo: "I don't know when you'll be back, but we're all ready and waiting, so come and get your revenge anytime, AZM."
Kid: "That's right. You hate us and are furious, aren't you? Well then, when you come back, make sure you're so confident that you'll knock us out."

*The 21st champions, Giulia and Syuri, failed in their 5th title defense. Hazuki and Koguma become the 22nd champions
With Giulia's return, the Goddesses of Stardom Championship will finally be held again. This will be the first title defense for the "Arikaba" team of Shuri and Giulia since their match against Utami Hayashishita and Saya Kamitani in Sapporo on July 22nd last year , a gap of six months. Giulia had been sidelined since her match against Mina Shirakawa at Korakuen Hall on September 6th last year due to a neck injury, but she returned at Ryogoku on December 29th . She has played three matches so far and remains undefeated, and has also introduced new talents MIRAI and Tekla to DDM. At the Shinjuku event on January 3rd, she requested that the title match be held as soon as possible, and it will finally happen at this event. The challengers are Hazuki and Koguma, who won the Goddesses of Stardom Tag League. It remains to be seen what effect a title match so soon after her return will have on Giulia. The day before, Shuri offered to relinquish the SWA World Championship to focus on the red belt, but a tag team match is a different story. Both her relinquishing the title and not having a title defense were because she was waiting for Giulia's return. Will that determination explode and lead to a further defense of the title? Or will Hazuki & Koguma carry the momentum from the tag league tournament and snatch the belts? If this team wins, it will be their first title win since their return. This match is likely to be a predictor of the future of the tag team scene.
The challengers appeared in new costumes based on fluorescent green. Giulia and Hazuki started the match, grabbing each other's hair and saying, "It's been a while." After an exchange of elbows, Giulia applied a headlock. Hazuki countered by grabbing Giulia's hair, but Giulia grabbed her back and pushed her into the ropes.

When Giulia retaliates, Hazuki heads to the corner aiming for a diving senton.

However, Koguma cuts off Giulia's cover with a diving body press, taking Hazuki with her. Koguma also hits Shuri with a German suplex but is hit with a high kick. All four are down. Hazuki and Giulia exchange elbows. Giulia lands a slap, and Hazuki retaliates. After an exchange of slaps, Giulia removes her supporter and charges, but Hazuki hits her with a double kick.

Giulia then caught Hazuki in a submission hold. Hazuki managed to escape.15minutes had passed. Giulia attempted a Glorious Driver, but Koguma managed to break it up.

The referee counted to three, and Hazuki won, changing hands for the Goddess of War title.
Hazuki: "We, FWC, have become the new tag team champions! We're crazy, but Arikaba, you guys were just as crazy. Thank you! And Koguma...we've always talked about this dream, to wear the Goddesses' belt together, and it's finally come true! Thank you for teaming up!! If we're the new tag team champions, then I think there should be some conditions for our challengers. What do you all think? Who would dare to challenge us..."
Maika and Himeka appeared, with Maika taking the microphone
Maika: "Hey, hey, hey, hey, when you think of a trio, you think of Maihime. When you think of a tag team, you think of Maihime, right? Everyone thinks so, right?! I think that belt is saying it wants to return to Maihime's waist, don't you think?"
Hazuki: "If you want to challenge us, there's a condition. You have to be just as crazy as us, otherwise we won't accept your challenge!"
Maika: "That's crazy. Huh? You guys lost the ladder match, but I think we're the crazier ones...? You'll accept our challenge, right?"
Koguma: "Kumaika, Himeguma... Especially Kumaika! You're from Fukuoka, right? Fukuoka. And that ladder match was crazy. Well, FWC, Kumaika could join and it could become FTC someday, but for now I'll let you challenge as a tag team with Himeguma."
Hazuki: "We're ready to accept Maihime's challenge. However, having defeated Arikaba, we don't think we're a tag team that can be easily crushed. We're going to bring more excitement to Stardom and to tag teams, so please look forward to it. Everyone, we won today, so can we end with STARS? Hanan has won a belt, and we have a belt too. Next up is Mayu's turn. And Iida, we're waiting for your return. Come back even stronger. So, we'd like to wrap things up. Believe in the present, shine tomorrow, We are STARS!"
Hazuki & Koguma's comments
Hazuki: "We are the new tag team champions. Ah, that was tough... It was tough, but I'm glad I persevered. I'm glad I didn't give up. And I'm glad I came back. ...I won't cry. Now that Koguma and I have won the tag team title, we want to make Stardom even more exciting and lively than it is now. And we want to expose the crazy side of people that they keep hidden inside."
Koguma: "We've been saying for ages that we'd do it together... (tears). I never thought we'd stand in the ring together again, so it's amazing, I mean... I've made a comeback and I can't believe something like this can happen. I think I've been able to convey through my own experience that it's important not to give up."
Hazuki: "The next challenger has been decided rather suddenly: Mai and Himeka. Maika threw Mayu off the ladder in an avalanche during the ladder match, so I guess Maika has a bit of a crazy side. I don't know about Himeka, but if Maika has a crazy side, then we're ready to take her on."
Koguma: "Yes. We're both from Fukuoka."
Hazuki: "We won't be crushed that easily."
Koguma: "I intend to prove that those who have experienced setbacks are strong."
Hazuki: "Whether or not this will be recorded in the records is another matter, but we will grow into a tag team champion that will be remembered. Please look forward to it."
—What kind of champion image do you want to create?
Koguma: "I think there are all sorts of things in life, like giving up or facing setbacks, but I want to become a champion who can support people by showing them that a better future awaits them if they overcome those challenges."
Hazuki: "That's right. I think there are people who have just gotten to know us, so there are probably many who don't know our past, but I hope that they will take a good look at our past and get to know who we are now. We defeated Arikaba, so I think there aren't many opponents who can defeat us."
Comments from Akari and Julia
Julia: "Oh... I'm sorry, Akari. I'm really sorry."
Shuri: "We're not done yet, and we're definitely, absolutely not done. Arikaba is the best tag team. I think we're definitely the tag team that can spread the word the most to the world. We'll definitely get it back."
Giulia: "Since teaming up with Shuri as the tag team Alicaba, I've really come to appreciate how fun tag team wrestling is. There are still so many things that only Shuri and I can do, and so many things we want to do. We will definitely take the title back from Koguma and Hazuki and aim to become the strongest champions once again. We lost today. I accept that. But Hazuki, it was fun fighting you after two years. I want to do it more. Another opponent has appeared that I want to fight more, so I'm looking forward to what's to come. But still, it's frustrating! Let's go home."
Akari: "Let's go home."
Julia: "Let's go eat."
Akari: "Let's go, let's go."
Comments from Maika and Himeka
Himeka: "I'm sure everyone's been waiting for Maihime's return, right?"
Maika: "Yeah."
Himeka: "That day, Arikaba took the belt, so I went for the Artist title as MaiHime and brought it back to DDM. Arikaba lost the Goddess title, and when it came to who would be next, of course it was MaiHime."
Maika: "What are the requirements for that Goddess? They said something about being crazy, but who won the unit tournament and the ladder match? And those two are from Fukuoka Prefecture. They keep saying crazy, but I'm the craziest one of them all, so I'm going to teach them that very well."
