A tag team match between Tam Nakano & Sayaka Kurei of Cosmic Angels and Maika & Rian. The following day in Osaka, Maika would challenge Nakano for the World of Stardom Championship. Although it was a NEW BLOOD match, a preliminary bout was scheduled as a preview for the title match. However, without losing its NEW BLOOD style, Kurei was with Nakano and Rian was with Maika. Whether they could show their NEW BLOOD style in a preliminary bout depended on Kurei and Rian.

After the match, Maika and Nakano exchanged elbows.
Maika: "Hey Nakano Tam. I couldn't get a pinfall on you today, but tomorrow it's your turn. And I'll shine a light on this Stardom more than anyone else, more than you! Don't worry, Tam. I'll teach you how to drink alcohol."
Nakano: "When it comes to alcohol, I think it's cuter if you're a little bit of a lightweight! (Holds out a red belt) I'm ready to dedicate everything to this belt. It's not you who will illuminate Stardom. It's the brilliance of Nakano Tam, who has returned to being the brightest star! Tomorrow, it's you, Maika, who will be gazing up at the empty ceiling."

Kid: "It's been a while since we last saw Tomoka Inaba in the NEW BLOOD Tag Team title match, hasn't it? I had a great time too! But, did you perhaps mean that you want to work with us? That's the kind of mic work you gave, right? Is that what you meant?"
Tomoka: "I'm God's Eye, but I feel the same way as Neo Genesis about wanting to liven things up as we're the same generation. So please continue to support me on the opposite side."
Kid: "I hope we can have a singles match someday, but for now, let's just be facing each other across the ring. (Shake hands) We're not going to do that, are we?"
Hinami: "Sorry to interrupt when things were getting nice, but I'd like to say something too. It's been about one or two weeks since I challenged for the Future belt, but I'm not giving up yet."
Amasaki: "I haven't given up on the Future belt either!"
Hinami: "So, Mitsuyoshi hasn't given up on the Future belt either?"
Amasaki: "Of course."
Hinami: "We were in the same unit until recently, and we haven't given up on each other, so how about we do a single together?"
Amasaki: "Of course I'd love to. Please give us the next NEW BLOOD."

However, I'm much more excited about the title match than I was before today's fight. Her competitive spirit is fascinating. Also, as the future of NEW BLOOD, and as the NEW BLOOD (Tag Team) Champion, I will further solidify the existence and significance of this tournament. I can do it. Right, Azusa?"

It seems like we'll be doing the Future title next, so I hope she keeps up that aggressive spirit and does her best, but well, I don't think I can win the Future title yet, and I think it's still too early for NEW BLOOD (Tag Team). And we're going to take down those old hags in Stardom and the old men and women in other promotions, so please look forward to it. Inaba Azusa's hag hunting, Katsu."
