Kurei aimed for the Tokimeki Spear but Kid made a successful break. Kurei went for the Tokimeki Cutter, but Tensaki landed on her feet and Suzuki delivered a thrust kick, and Tensaki rolled her up with an Amanohashidate for the three count.
Amasaki: "Everyone in Nagano (Saku), in the first match, the 11th Future of Stardom Champion, Amasaki Mitsuyoshi, has taken the three count from the next challenger, Kurei Sayaka! As a champion, this is to be expected, but this match was the first Future title match, and I will be defending it on December 24th at Korakuen Hall! And also,"
Kid: "And also, on the 29th at Ryogoku Kokugikan, I will challenge Natsupoi for the Wonder belt, but I will definitely take the Wonder belt and come back. On the 24th at Korakuen Hall and on the 29th at Ryogoku, everyone in Nagano, will you come on the trip to see us!? Let's get excited with Stardom during the New Year holidays!"
Amasaki: "And also, please look forward to Neo Genesis at the end of the year!"

● Ranna Yagami |
*The other person is Rian
Koguma, Yagami Ranna, and Rian face off in a three-way match. Koguma is sure to ask for volunteers to play the bear, but the focus is on how Yagami, who has Shuri's eyes on her, will react.
As Koguma tries to ask for volunteers to play the bear, Yagami launches a surprise attack with a kick. Rian also attacks, but Koguma leaves the ring. Koguma once again asks for volunteers from the audience to play the bear. Many spectators raise their hands. Yagami says, "No," and Rian says, "Then I'll do it!" Koguma asks Yagami, trying to persuade her by saying, "Shuri isn't here." Koguma once again asks for volunteers to play the bear, and Yagami hesitantly raises her hand. Koguma says, "Yagami will play the bear!" Koguma and Rian approach Yagami, striking bear poses. Then Shuri appears. She threatens Yagami from below the ring, saying, "You were about to do it." Yagami turns around and tries to do the bear pose. Akari asks Yagami again, "Are you going to do it?!" When Akari complains, Koguma grabs Yagami and says, "If you don't do it, you're forced to do the bear pose!" and makes her do the pose. Rian comes from the side and lands a dropkick and high-fives Koguma. Koguma warns that he will throw Yagami and slams him. Rian also warns and prepares to slam Yagami. However, Yagami counters and slams him in the opposite direction. Yagami lands a series of elbows on Koguma. Koguma throws Rian, but Yagami dodges. Koguma and Yagami throw each other into the ropes, and Yagami calls out to Rian and they perform a dropkick together, but Yagami attacks Rian saying, "Stop doing the bear pose!" Rian dodges, but Yagami lands a dropkick. Rian replies, "I'm going to do the bear pose!", "Read the room!", "Just do it!" and lands a series of elbows on Yagami. Koguma intervenes, delivering a cross body to both of them, a head scissors to Rian, and a sleeper hold to Yagami simultaneously. She then follows up with a foot stomp to both of them. When the two fight back, Yagami elbows Koguma, saying, "I'm not doing bears." When asked, "What about Kashima Saki?", Yagami replies, "She's fine!" referring to her as "she." Yagami and Rian team up for a dropkick, but Koguma dodges it. However, a sandwich kick hits Koguma. Rian then rolls up Yagami. Yagami corners both of them and delivers a running high kick, followed by soccer ball kicks to Rian and Koguma. Koguma gets behind Yagami and tries to make her strike a pose. Yagami escapes and charges, but Koguma hits her with a gun stun. As Koguma climbs to the corner, Rian steals the cover for Yagami. When Koguma breaks up the pin, Rian delivers a series of elbows. When Koguma rolled her up, Rian retaliated, and they exchanged roll-ups. Yagami managed to pin them both for a two count. Yagami tried to bait Rian into a cross body, but Rian dodged the high kick. Koguma rolled her up again, and Yagami was pinned for the three count. Even after the match, Yagami made an "X" with her hands and refused to do the bear pose.

Kashima Saki |
| AZM | Hamabe Matoi | |
Neo Genesis, consisting of Seira Mei and AZM, faced off against Kashima Saki and Hamabe Matoi in a tag team match. Rookie Hamabe often teams with STARS, but this time she's teaming with God's Eye, and with Kashima no less. With much attention focused on how Hamabe will perform against the top runners of High Speed, it will also be interesting to see how Kashima controls her. There's a possibility that she might just let Hamabe do all the fighting... Just
when it seemed like Kashima would be the starter, she pushed Hamabe out to begin the match. However, AZM and Seira teamed up to attack Hamabe. Kashima protested from ringside, saying, "That's unfair," and "She's still a rookie." Seira ignored her and locked Hamabe in a camel clutch, and AZM delivered a dropkick. Seira then body-slammed Hamabe, and AZM followed with a running dropkick. When Hamabe retaliates, AZM feigns a camel clutch, and Seira feigns a dropkick, but instead crashes into Kashima below the ring. AZM gets back up after taking a series of elbows from Hamabe. Hamabe warns and prepares for a body slam. AZM resists but takes a dropkick. Kashima asks for a tag, saying "Leave it to me," and kicks both of them away. He corners AZM and delivers a series of middle kicks and a diving foot stomp. AZM retaliates, and Kashima delivers a Shoryuken. AZM retaliates, and Kashima prepares for a double armlock. AZM rolls her up, but Kashima kicks out. AZM delivers a brainbuster to Kashima. Seira hits a lariat, rolls her up, and delivers a missile kick. Kashima kicks out, and Seira tries to turn the tide. Seira counters and they exchange roll-up attempts. Kashima kicks out and delivers a big boot as a counter. Hamabe delivers a series of dropkicks to Seira. Hamabe gives a warning and gets into position for a body slam. Seira counters, but Hamabe counters again and charges. Seira dodges and AZM hits a back elbow, followed by a double dropkick. Seira hits Hamabe with a neckbreaker. Hamabe kicks out and Seira locks her legs and applies a modified camel clutch, but Kashima breaks it up. Seira declares, "I'm going to throw you!" and takes her back. Kashima breaks it up with a high kick and Hamabe goes for a shoulder throw. Hamabe shouts, "I'm going to finish you!" and takes her back. Seira counters, but Hamabe keeps rolling her up. Hamabe gets countered and lands a series of elbows, and Seira counters with a dropkick. Hamabe gets the hold, but Seira kicks out and goes for the Shooting Star. The three count is made and Seira wins.

You guys can only win in such a shitty, scumbag way, and yet you had your last match at Ryogoku this year, I was so frustrated, so I'll take it easy for the last time, thank you."

Cosmic Angels' Tam Nakano & Aya Sakura will clash with H.A.T.E.'s Saya Kamitani & Rina in a tag team match. World of Stardom Champion Nakano will participate in the Takataichi Shinjuku show that same night after the Takasaki show the day before, teaming with Kurei to face JTO's Misa Shinkiraku & Sumika Yanagawa, marking her return to the Stardom ring. In Shinjuku, she has proposed a rematch with Shinkiraku, not a singles match, at "NEW BLOOD 17" on December 26, and this match will be a preliminary battle against Kamitani for the second day in a row. The day before, Kurei was pinned by Kamitani, and Nakano has also been pinned directly by Kamitani in the tag league official match and on the second day of the Hamamatsu show, putting her in a tough situation. For Nakano, this will be an opportunity to put an end to her losing streak against Kamitani and change the momentum heading into the big match...
Nakano and Kamitani walk to the center of the ring and glare at each other. The bell rang, and Kamiya jumped on Nakano, taking him to the ground. Nakano went for a neck lock, but Kamiya countered. After a struggle for control of the neck, Nakano applied a front neck lock. Kamiya countered, and Nakano got on top and went for the cover. Kamiya kicked, and Nakano threw him into the ropes. Kamiya went down to the ring floor, and Nakano said, "Come up." Kamiya tempted Nakano, saying, "You come up." Nakano went down, and Kamiya came back in and said, "I'm up." Nakano also came back in, and they engaged in a rope-work battle. Nakano countered Kamiya's pin and applied a neckbreaker. As Nakano ran, Rinami pulled his leg from below the ring, and the fight went outside. Rinami threw Sakura into the audience. Kamiya tormented Nakano in the audience, calling the referee who tried to stop them an "old man." Kamiya snatched the red belt from the commentator's table and attacked, then brought Nakano back into the ring, tied up his hair, and applied a face lock. Rinami pulls the ropes to prevent an escape. Kamitani shouts at Nakano's elbow, "That's not working at all!" Nakano throws a flurry of punches, but Kamitani takes them and sends her flying with one blow. Rinami gives Nakano a hair whip, corners her, and stomps on her. Nakano dodges the charge and delivers a dropkick to Rinami. Sakura requests a tag and enters the ring, dropping a dropkick on Rinami. She tries to follow up with more, but Kamitani cuts her off. However, Sakura corners both of them and delivers a running dropkick, then a running high kick to Rinami. Rinami counters with a big boot, and Sakura retaliates with a thrust kick. Kamitani delivers a running knee attack to Sakura in the opponent's corner. She makes it seem like she's going for Sakura, but instead slaps Nakano who is waiting in the corner. Nakano enters, but her slap is dodged. Kamitani sticks her tongue out. She slips past Nakano but takes an elbow. When Kamiya returned the elbow, Nakano retaliated. They exchanged elbows for 10 minutes. Nakano landed a spin kick. Kamiya blocked the knee and slammed Nakano backwards. Nakano attempted a back drop and a Tiger Suplex. Kamiya countered, cornering Nakano and delivering a running dropkick. Nakano countered with a high kick. Both exchanged spin kicks and slaps, resulting in a knockdown. Rinami hit Nakano with a running double knee attack followed by a dropkick. Nakano countered, and Rinami rolled her up with a Manji Gatame. Rinami, having been countered, announced her intention and prepared for a Northern Suplex. Nakano resisted and delivered a back kick. Rinami dodged the charge, and Kamiya interfered, punching Nakano in the stomach and slamming her backwards, after which Rinami delivered a diving double knee drop. Nakano countered, and Rinami announced her finishing move and delivered a diving foot stomp. Nakano dodged, and Sakura delivered a dropkick, but the double kicks were dodged and hit each other. However, Nakano and Sakura exchanged dropkicks and middle kicks. Nakano delivered a back drop to Rinami. Rinami countered, and Nakano took her back.

Nakano dodged Rinami's charge and delivered a German suplex. Kamitani broke it up with a foot stomp. Sakura delivered a knee attack to Kamitani from the corner and a plancha to the outside. Nakano dropped a knee on Rinami as she returned to the ring. Rinami countered, and Nakano declared she was going for the finish and went for the Tiger Suplex. Kamitani broke it up with a spin kick and Rinami rolled her up. Nakano countered with a spin kick and a Violet Shooting. However, Kamitani made the break up in time. Nakano delivered a Tiger Suplex to Kamitani and a Violet Screwdriver to Rinami. Rina couldn't counter, and Nakano won by pinfall.
Nakano: "Rina, you've gotten incredibly strong. You're seriously the future of Stardom. In contrast, Kamiya, what's wrong with you? You've half-heartedly changed your character, and you feel good about getting everyone's attention? You're like a rotten ball of attention-seeking. Doing bad things to attract everyone's attention, wanting to be noticed, like a teenage boy in middle school. Don't make me laugh, wanting this red belt, the top red belt, with such shallow motives!"
Kamiya: "Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong with you? You're the one who's a scruffy old hag trying to look young from the Showa era! Don't get hysterical and lash out just because things don't go your way, you idiot! You're a thing of the past for Stardom!"
Kamiya left the ring and took Rina out.
Nakano: "Hello everyone in space! Hello everyone in Aomori! ... (She collapses as she realizes her mistake) Hello everyone in space, and hello everyone in Nagano (Saku)! I'm sorry for showing you such an unsightly sight. Times may change, but Tam will protect Stardom last year, this year, and next year after the new year. Nakano Tam will protect Stardom! Follow Tam's sparkling road in space, believe in Tam!"
Comments from Tam Nakano and Aya Sakura
Nakano: "You're a rotten orange, Kamiya! A rotten ball of self-aggrandizement. You mess with other people's important friends, act tough, try to look cool, and are just a ball of self-aggrandizement that only wants attention and to be cared for. Pathetic. Poor Rina, surrounded by such pathetic adults. Rina, you are the future of Stardom." Sakura:
"Tam-
" Nakano: "Yes."
Sakura: "And me?"
Nakano: "..."
Sakura: "I'm also ready to shoulder the future of Stardom."
Nakano: "That's right, I was really encouraged to have you by my side today. Let's create the future of Stardom together."
Sakura: "Yes. ...Argh!"
Sakura flicks Nakano's forehead and runs away.
Nakano: "Why?!"
