Despite the dissolution of Donna del Mondo, Mai Sakurai stated her determination to "follow Giulia" and stay with her. However, Giulia is in the US for a defense of the STRONG Women's Championship, so Sakurai will be fighting alone at this tournament. Her opponent is Lady C of Queen's Quest. Can she make an impact in Giulia's absence? This will also be a great opportunity for Lady C to make a name for herself

Sakurai puts her in a headlock and slams her down using the ropes. Sakurai strikes a lady pose, and Lady copies him. Sakurai gets angry and attacks, delivering a dropkick.

However, I have lost both my belt and my unit this year, so I am now lighter. However, I am always looking for my own butler. (Calling out to a lady who is leaving) How about you, sir? (The lady rebels) Shut up! So, to all the common people of Osaka, I look forward to your continued support this year. Until next time!"

The team of Seira Mei, HANAKO, and Yumizuki will face off against the Oedo Tai team of Tora Natsuko, Ruika, and Fukigen Desu★ in a six-person tag team match. High-speed champion Seira will be leading the two rookies, but the key will be how she manages the relationship between HANAKO and Yumizuki, who clashed in the Rookie of the Year tournament. HANAKO, who debuted in March of last year and was the overwhelming favorite for Rookie of the Year, was unexpectedly defeated in the tournament final by Yumizuki, whoNovember. Since then, they have been in the same corner several times, and each time an uneasy atmosphere has been created. For that reason, it seems that the outcome of this match will depend on Seira's leadership. However, since their opponents are the Oedo Tai, it will not be easy. Seira's team will want to work together to conquer Oedo Tai, but...
The match begins with Yumizuki and Natsuko as the starting wrestlers. They lock up and grapple, each trying to grab the other's arms.

HANAKO hits Ryuka with a big boot. She attempts an Argentine backbreaker but Natsuko breaks it up. However, HANAKO hits them all with a crossbody attack, a spear body attack on Ryuka, and a knee drop. Ryuka gets up after receiving a shoulder tackle from HANAKO and returns the shoulder tackle. HANAKO also returns a shoulder tackle. Fukigen dodges Seira and pokes her in the eye. Seira blocks it and uses rope work to confuse her before delivering a dropkick. Fukigen dodges a spear attack and the Oedo Tai members launch a series of spear attacks, with Fukigen delivering a diving senton. Fukigen fakes a brainbuster but goes for a small package.

Fukigen dodges Seira's body attack and also avoids her roll-up attempt. After an exchange of roll-up attempts, Seira used a shooting star, but Fukigen reversed it and pinned her for the three count
Unhappy: "High-speed challenge!"
Seira: "No way? What? This is bad, this is really bad. I'm such an idiot, a real idiot. I'm supposed to challenge Goddess tomorrow, so I can't lose here... A high-speed challenge? I'm in a bad mood, Mei's gonna kill me!"
When Seira tried to show off the belt, Fukigen poked her in the eye

STARS' team of Mayu Iwatani, Hazuki, Hanan, and Saya Iida will face off against God's Eye's team of Syuri, MIRAI, Sorei Ami, and Saki Kashima in an all-out eight-woman tag team match. At the January 4th TDC Hall event, Iwatani and Syuri faced off for the IWGP Women's Championship, with Iwatani successfully defending her title and Syuri weeping backstage after her defeat. Syuri has high hopes for this year, but having had her start thwarted, it will be interesting to see what kind of attack she unleashes against Iwatani. Furthermore, since Syuri also became Artist of Stardom Champion with MIRAI and Sorei, there is a possibility that STARS could emerge as a potential opponent for her first title defense through this match
When Hazuki volunteered to start, Kashima left the ring and MIRAI stepped forward from God's Eye. The match began with ground grappling, and Hazuki applied a headlock. MIRAI countered and tightened her own headlock. When Hazuki threw MIRAI into the ropes, STARS interfered and launched a combined attack, delivering dropkicks from four directions.

Sorei pulls Hanan up and prepares for a back drop, but Hanan counters and rolls her up.10minutes have passed. Hanan and Iida compete with jumping chops, Iwatani and Hazuki compete with thrust kicks, and the two simultaneously perform a tope suicida. Iida hits Sorei with the Iida Rocket, and Hanan with a blockbuster hold. However, Sorei kicks out at the last moment. STARS launches a rocket at Sorei. Hanan applies a back drop hold. The three count is called, and Hanan pins Sorei.
Hanan: "Finally, finally I defeated Sourei Ami with a backdrop hold! STARS helped me out today, and this year I want to win the Artist belt with STARS. Please let me challenge you!"
Sorei: "Okay, I'll do it! It's true, we lost to you STARS today. That's fine, right, Shuri-san!"
Akari: "Of course, let's do it. Rossy, that's fine, right? Okay? I'll definitely get my revenge for today's loss by putting this artist's belt on the line. Be prepared!"

Saori Anno and Suzu Suzuki will team up to face Starlight Kid and Momo Watanabe of the Oedo Tai. The focus of this match will be on whether Anno and Suzuki's tag team can function effectively, but at the same time, this match is also a prelude to Anno and Kid's battle for the white belt. It was Anno who won her rematch against MIRAI at Ryogoku on December 29 to successfully capture the Wonder of Stardom Championship for the first time. And it was Kid who won the time-delayed battle royal held at Korakuen Hall on January 6 to earn the right to challenge for the white belt at Edion Arena Osaka on February 4.

However, they lost contact after Anno sought battles outside of Stardom, and last year Anno returned to Stardom and they faced each other in a unit rivalry. And now, February 4 in Osaka will be their first singles match. What kind of tactics will unfold leading up to this big match? While the Oedo Tai team seems to have the advantage in this tag team match, Suzuki's performance after missing out on the red belt will also be a key factor.

Momo hits Anno with a B-driver, Kid hits a moonsault press but Suzuki cuts it up, Anno counters a suplex, Suzuki hits a spin kick, and Anno tries to roll her up when time runs out.
Kid: "Huh, the Wonder preliminary match ended in a draw? There's no way I'm satisfied with that, so let's have another preliminary match! But, since Saori and I are contemporaries, and it's practically our first time fighting, I think we can have an even more exciting, fun, and great match. And I can see a future where I'm wearing that white belt, starting today (laughs). Well, the real thing will be a step above in terms of venue, content, and result. SLK will bury Anno Saori in pitch black darkness with a Star Suplex Hold. Get ready to be buried (laughs)."
Anno: "Don't worry. This belt that Kid has always wanted will continue to shine because I will. On February 4th, at Stardom's13thanniversary event, we'll have our first singles match, a title match. Let's make it a great anniversary."
Kid slapped the opponent and left the ring

Don't get scared and run away."
Kamiya: "You idiot! I'm not going to run away. If I got scared by something like this, I wouldn't be standing in this ring right now. On February 4th in Osaka, I'm going to end the era of the empress and make the history of Maika's red belt a complete illusion."

Your tag team with Megan is also going great. Divine Kingdom, number one tag team. Number one tag team partners. Divine Kingdom, forever."
Meghan "Forever"
