High Speed ​​Championship Match
<King>	8 minutes 35 seconds, Checkmate	<Challenger>
〇Seira Mei		Momo Kogo●

*The 27th champion successfully defended his title for the third time

　High Speed ​​Champion Seira Mei is defending her title for the third time. Her challenger is Mukou Momo, who earned the right to challenge by directly pinning the champion in a tag team match. Mukou has recently been competing in a tag team league with Iwatani Mayu, and her growth has been recognized. That momentum has led to her challenging for the High Speed ​​Championship, and this will be her third attempt at the title. Will the third time be the charm and will she finally win the title? Or will Seira, who has defeated power-type wrestlers in her previous two attempts, maintain her solid defense?
　Seira dodges Mukou's dropkicks one after another, and the dropkicks of both wrestlers clash. Seira lands a kick, and they send each other into the corner. Seira drops Mukou to the outside as she gets on the corner aiming for a body attack, and then drops another dropkick from the apron. Mukou dodges and returns to the ring, performing a swan dive plancha. Mukou brings Seira back into the ring and applies a neckbreaker. Seira counters, avoids an attempted suplex, and jumps onto the ropes. Then Kogo hits a 619 and a dropkick. Kogo dodges the 619 and hits a missile kick from the second base. Kogo counters, and Seira goes for a submission hold. Kogo tries to escape, but Seira reverses. Kogo manages to escape. Kogo hits a dropkick as Seira charges. He tries for another, but Seira dodges and hits a German suplex. Kogo immediately gets up and hits a Northern Lights. Both are down. They get up at the 8 count and exchange elbows. After dodging kicks, Kogo jumps and rolls him up. Seira counters and they exchange roll-up attempts. Seira goes for a shooting star, but Kogo kicks out. Seira hits a dropkick, but Kogo kicks out at the 1 count. Seira goes for a checkmate, but Kogo counters and hits him with a thrust kick. Seira kicks out, and Kogo goes for a 619 DDT. Seira dodges and hits him with a dropkick for a checkmate.
The referee counted to three, and Seira successfully defended her title.
Seira: "Christmas Eve, I've succeeded in hunting Komomo! Komomo, Mei hasn't seen the Komomo you've been up until now, but Mei has been watching you ever since you returned to Stardom, and Mei has seen how hard you've worked. So, if Komomo challenges Mei again in the future, Mei would like to have a match with you ten times, or even hundreds of times."
Kogo: "Seira Mei, I couldn't reach you, but there's no other opponent that excites me this much. Seira Mei is incredibly fast, really strong, and honestly I thought she was amazing, but after fighting her today, I feel that the current Kogo Momo is more than capable of fighting her. I felt that, so I will absolutely not give up on that belt. While Seira Mei is champion, I will definitely challenge her again, and next time I will get that belt. Until then, please protect it properly."

The December 29th show at Ryogoku Kokugikan will be the culmination of everything we've done to protect Stardom together this year. Come and witness our way of life and our determination. And we'll fight together with you at Ariake (January 3rd) and Tokyo Dome (New Japan January 4th & 5th) to show our determination for 2025, and continue to protect Stardom together! Shall I wrap things up here for today? Everyone, Stardom is your hope. So please continue to believe in us and follow us. Believe in the present and shine tomorrow, We are Stardom!"

Starlight Kid Comment

 

"Hey, even if this is a preliminary match between red and white, isn't this matchup a bit far-fetched? Kamiya has given me so many unpleasant experiences. There's no way this can be a tag team match. Against Meltear. As for the tag team match itself, well, today I was only watching Natsupoi. I didn't lose, so I don't care whether Kamiya wins or loses. You can't talk about the quality of a tag team match like this. There's nothing we can do about this tag team. But, the final preliminary match against Natsupoi is over. Now, all that's left is to wait for the 29th. It's Christmas so it's kind of like a happy ending, and we all feel the same desire to protect Stardom. Against H.A.T.E.?" But I don't care about H.A.T.E. All I care about is Natsupoi and Wonder. At Ryogoku, Natsupoi and I will have the most memorable fight of all. I will show what I can do with my physique in that huge venue. And I will definitely become the new Wonder of Stardom Champion. I will be the one to take it from Natsupoi again. And I will welcome 2025 feeling absolutely fantastic.
SLK will be the one

Comments from Nakano Tam & Natsupoi

 

Natsupoi: "The last Korakuen Hall show of the year is over. Wow, for the past two weeks or so, I've been wondering how many preliminary matches I'm going to have with Kicchan, but now I'm grateful. The more we do it, the more I get to know Kicchan, and I feel like we've both broadened our horizons. It's good, okay, okay, okay. Anytime is fine. Five more days?" "I want to do it right now. I'm going to defend this belt and go for everything I want in 2025. I'm really looking forward to 2025."
Nakano: "We'll both definitely defend our belts. Kamitani, this is how our fights always go. If you try to throw me headfirst from the top turnbuckle, I'll jump from any height and flatten you. Our crazy matches, yeah, our crazy matches are what messed up your life. If you say I messed you up, then I'll take responsibility and put an end to you. And Nakano Tam will defend Stardom in 2025!" Natsupoi:
"Tam-chan, let's definitely defend it. But this belt is the one that will give us the best matches. Bye-bye."
Nakano: "The red belt is number one."
