It might get even more interesting from here on out. Watch out for the new Stardom, the new Oedo-tai, and the new Thekla!"

But you know, you don't get opportunities like this often. Since we have the chance, and it's Iwatani Mayu's hometown of Yamaguchi, and Tam is here too, why don't the three of you team up for the first time in a while? (To Nakano) You're making a really disgusted face. Everyone wants to see it, right? Responding to the audience's reactions is part of being a professional. Well, well, well, there's still some time until Yamaguchi, so please give us your answer by then. Everyone in Yamaguchi wants to see the three of you team up for a match."
Nakano: "They think so?"
Iwatani: "They do, don't they? Please, I'd be grateful."
Iwatani leaves the ring. Nakano whispers something to Kid, and Kid nods. Nakano holds out her hand. Nakano forcibly pulls Kid and helps her off the ring.
