The rules for the High Speed Championship match were changed starting with this match. The match was a best-of-three 10-minute round, with a 10-count outside the ring. If the score was tied at the end of the time limit, the champion would retain their title. Otherwise, the match followed the rules of regular professional wrestling. This match came about when Saki Kashima challenged Mei Seira after winning the High Speed Battle Royal. However, due to past circumstances, she did not directly challenge the champion but instead appealed for the title, which led to the match being realized. However, as mentioned above, the new rules were adopted for this match. At the signing ceremony, Kashima expressed her dissatisfaction, saying, "The person who came up with these rules is an idiot." Kashima is aiming for her second championship, but what impact will these rules have? Of course, this is also a new landscape that Seira, the champion who has been leading the High Speed scene, has never seen before. What kind of battle will unfold?
As the gong sounds, Kashima extends her hand and says, "Please take care of me." Kashima dodged Seira's dropkick and tried to turn the tide, but Seira countered with a shooting star, taking the first fall. The second fall started, but Kashima was outside the ring. Seira chased after her, but Kashima returned and complained, "Don't try to waste time!" When Seira returned, she rolled her up. Kashima kicked out, and Seira delivered a missile kick from the second leg. Kashima countered Seira's brainbuster with a hurricanrana and then an armbar. Seira escaped and they exchanged elbows. Kashima hit a rising dragon punch followed by a big boot. However, Seira went for the cover from above. Kashima kicked out and hit a high kick, a palm strike, and a double-arm facebuster. Seira kicked out at the last moment, and Kashima hit a super hot pin for the win. In the third fall, Kashima delivered a series of kicks and went for a double-arm hold. Seira countered with a series of thrust kicks. Kashima countered with a big boot, turning the tide. When Seira retaliated, she countered with a rolling savate kick and a dropkick. When Kashima retaliated, Seira lifted her up and went for a bomb. Kashima countered, but Seira tried again and slammed her down with a farewell bomb. Kashima couldn't kick out, and Seira successfully defended her title. Seira: "I've surpassed Saki, and I've succeeded! I feel like I've overcome the trauma of Kashima Saki, the trauma within Mei, today."
Kashima: "I've taken a fall from the champion, so let me be champion..."
Seira: "Well then, let's get closer... oh, not closer, let's have another match with this belt on the line soon."
Kashima held out her hand, and Seira cautiously accepted.
Kashima: "I'm good with high-speed title matches for a while."
left the ring.
Seira: "With these new rules, I think various wrestlers, even those who aren't high-speed, will be able to have good matches, so please look forward to Mei from now on. Thank you."
