*The other person is Seira Mei
A three-way match featuring Seira Mei, Kashima Saki, and Rian. The key will be how far rookie Rian can push Seira's speed and Kashima's evasive fighting style.
Kashima brings a copy of the High Speed Belt. As the match begins, Seira and Rian try to catch Kashima. The match becomes a rope battle, and Kashima ties both of them to the ropes.

Kashima dodges Rian's dropkick and goes to the outside. As Seira charges forward, Rian hits a hurricanrana and a dropkick. She attempts a body slam as predicted, but Seira counters.

Maika: "Hey Natsuko, you say you want to play with me, but let's put that aside for now, Gina! Why?"
Gina: "
Why?" Maika: "What? This (red belt)? This?"
Gina: "Maika, I'm your next challenger
." Maika: "That's right. No one else has claimed the red belt, and Gina was the first to do so. You're strong, you're really strong. Alright, let's fight for this belt on June 22nd at Yoyogi No. 2."
Shirakawa: "Excuse me. The red belt, June 22nd. Advance tickets are on sale now! The party is in full swing, so may I wrap things up?"
The arena lights went out. Toni Storm and Mariah May appeared on the screen.
Toni: "I'm the AEW Women's World Champion, and 'Timeless' Toni Storm. And Miss
Mariah. Shirakawa, I'm keeping an eye on your career. The forbidden door is open, and I want to know what kind of woman you are."
Mariah: "

Toni Storm, keep an eye on me. Is that okay? I told you, I'm Mariah's and my best partner, my best friend. I said I'll go anytime, anywhere. So, today we'll have Gina do it."

Ever since my debut, I've always said I want to go global, to spread Mina Shirakawa to the world. And Toni Storm? I absolutely adore Mariah. But Toni just likes how Mariah dresses up just like you do. That's a big difference. I win when it comes to my love for Mariah, and my desire to be the best in the world."
