As you all know, I announced my retirement the other day, so this will be my last visit to Matsumoto as a pro wrestler, Himeka, and I don't want that to happen.

Big is strong, big is justice, and big is cute. Donna del Mondo, the women who are making waves in the world, see you again!"
Comment from DDM
Himeka: "It's been ages since we've performed in Matsumoto. This venue holds many memories for me as a DDM member, so I'm really happy that we can close out the show with a DDM main event."
Julia: "That's right. If my memory serves me correctly, I fought QQ here last time too, and it's rare for me to have a match against QQ, so it feels like it's been a while. Today was my last match here (at Himeka), but Himeka's retirement road is still ongoing, so let's all continue to support her. Arrivederci, see you next time!"
