Whoever grabs it gets to talk. It's first come, first served, you know! Everyone in Nagoya, and everyone watching on PPV, I'm sure you wanted to hear Mayu Iwatani say 'Good evening.' Once again, good evening, everyone in Nagoya! Thank you. I was actually scheduled to have my match in the first match of the Rumble today, but the card was changed at the last minute. And so, this New Year 's tag team match was suddenly arranged, so how was it for everyone? Well, there's no better opportunity than this, so I'm glad I got to fight. And...and? Well, there's a big match on February 4th in either Nagoya or Osaka, right? Osaka. I know that much. There's a big match in Osaka on February 4th, right? And I've come up with an idea for that. A new rule. You're curious, aren't you? " I'm going to announce it now. It's called the Naniwa Roulette! Wow! See, what a warm reaction. I'm sure you all wanted to see it. The Naniwa Roulette. Well, I've thought up the rules, even though I'm a bit of an idiot, so I hope you'll listen kindly. First, in the Naniwa Roulette, the opponent is determined by a roulette wheel. Then, the match is played using the roulette wheel, and the winners compete against each other in a knockout tournament, which is like a knockout roulette or league tournament, and the winner gets the right to challenge for any title they like. What do you think ?! Do you get it? Do you get it? I'm sure you all understand it, even though you're idiots, right?
Akari: "Huh? You understand? You understand? You really understand? Do you... understand?"
Iwatani: "No, even if you don't understand now, you can find out later by checking the officialTwitter account. They'll put it all together there. See, the company is nodding along, so that's fine."
Akari: "I see. Naniwa Roulette..."
Iwatani: "That's right, it's Naniwa."
Akari: "Mayu Iwatani wants to play Naniwa Roulette, that's what it comes down to."
Iwatani: "That's what I've been saying all along."
Akari: "Sorry, I already said that. But, on February 4th , at the Osaka tournament ... I want to team up with Konami for a match. I wanted to do the Naniwa Roulette, but I want to team up with Konami for a match. And I 'd like to have a God's Eye vs. Queen's Quest match, what do you think?"
Iwatani: "No, I just made the suggestion..."
Utami: (Snatches the microphone) That's a good point. I'm not interested in that roulette thing. I don't really understand it since Iwatani came up with it anyway. I'm not interested in it at all. I'd much rather have Shuri of God's Eye, and Konami... they're great. I'd love to have a match with Konami again after so long. Let's definitely do it
Akari: "Please (shakes hands with Shimi). Well, Maika might do the Naniwa Roulette, but we..."
Maika: "Maihime, we have Goddess on February 4th ... I'm sorry, Iwatani, but I can't do it. "
Akari: "Well, well, well, let's all do what we want to do. That's fine with everyone, right!? So, thank you for the New Year's Tag Team Match. We still have the main event to come, so please burn it into your memories. Thank you!"
Comments from Shimi and Maika
Utami: "What was it called again? The New Year's Lucky Draw Special Match? It was a tag team match where everyone was from a different unit and it was all a bit confusing, but I think it was a tag team that the fans had been waiting for. It was a judo connection. And Maika likes me anyway. It was a tag team that everyone had been waiting for. It was a bit of a pain, and it was tough, but it was fun."
Maika: "It's rare to have an opportunity like this, so I really enjoyed it, and I was thinking that if I won I would give Umi some New Year's money, but you saw it on Twitter, didn't you? If you betray me, there will be a harsh punishment game. Everyone saw it, right, on Twitter. No New Year's money. Instead, since you betrayed me, you have to do the punishment game."
Shimi: "Aren't you going to give me any New Year's money?"
Maika: "No, no, if you win you get New Year's money. If you betray me you get a punishment game. You're no good at all of that."
Shimi: "Isn't that like winning?"
Maika: "That's not a win, no matter how you look at it."
Shimi: "Give me a New Year's gift that's this thick!"
Maika: "I could prepare it, but no. It's a condition if you win. A penalty game. Maybe I'll have Shimi do a one-off gag."
Shimi: "No."
Maika: "Okay everyone. 3, 2, 1, go ahead."
Utami: (Slaps Maika) "We're not tag team anymore, and I don't see the point in doing something like that. If you want to do it so badly, you can do it now."
Maika: "It's because you betrayed me!"
Comments from Iwatani & Shuri
Iwatani: "Is this our first time teaming up today?"
Akari: "This is the first time."
Iwatani: "This is probably my first time."
Akari: "Wow"
Iwatani: "Hey, what kind of comment is that?"
Akari: "(Laughs) But we wouldn't have teamed up like this unless so many people suddenly had to drop out. I was really happy about it."
Iwatani: "But it was really fun."
Akari: "It was fun."
Iwatani: "But30-minute draw. How's the teamwork going?"
Akari: "I wonder how our teamwork went..."
Iwatani: "But, considering it was your first time, I think you did pretty well, didn't you? Or rather, you're working me too hard. What do you think of other people, seriously?"
Akari: "No, it'll be fine. They're zombies, after all."
Iwatani: "It's okay, well, if you ask me if it's okay it's not okay, then it's Naniwa Roulette."
Akari: "What's that? I had no idea."
Iwatani: "You lack comprehension skills. You've hit a wall."
Akari: "No, no, no... (laughs). Naniwa Roulette. We'll do Naniwa Roulette. I'll be teaming up with 2.4 Konami for God's Eye vs. Queen's Quest, so I hope Naniwa Roulette does its best. 2.4 will also give a solid performance. I wonder if we'll ever team up again...?"
Iwatani: "Doesn't seem likely."
Akari: "Doesn't seem likely. I'll fight hard again."
Iwatani: "Thank you for today. Until we meet again someday."
Akari: "Goodbye"
Iwatani: "Yes."

No matter what anyone says, I am Stardom!"
Magnificent comments
"The white belt was still so far away. But after challenging for the white belt today, I want it even more! I won't give up until I wear the white belt. I will lead the future of Stardom."
Comment from Kamitani
" I have successfully defended my title for the 13th time. Ami Sorei, with her large physique, came at me with all her might, and I envisioned her as someone who will carry the future of Stardom. I hope that one day in the near future, she will definitely wear this white belt. And now, for the 14th title defense, the 13th time has tied the record for most title defenses, and the next match will be key to breaking that record, but hey Watanabe Momo, are you watching? I will defeat you and break the record for most title defenses. There are many reasons why I want to fight you, but first of all, you were my opponent in my debut match, and you are the former leader of Queen's Quest, and now you are tied (for the most title defenses), so I will absolutely crush you and leave a legend in the history of Wonder of Stardom."
