Cosmic Angels' Nakano Tamu, Anou Saori, and Kure Sayaka will face off against H.A.T.E.'s Kamitani Saya, Tora Natsuko, and Inaba Azusa in a six-person tag team match. A tag team match between Nakano & Kure vs. Kamitani & an undecided team is scheduled for February 24th in Utsunomiya. If Nakano's team wins, Nakano's wish to face Kamitani for the World of Stardom Championship will come true. However, if they lose, will Kure be taken by Kamitani? Leading up to that match, two consecutive days of warm-up matches will be held. The day before in Takasaki, Nakano rolled up Kamitani to win. If Nakano's team can continue their winning streak, the pressure will be on Kamitani, but...
Both teams charge in without waiting for the bell. H.A.T.E. isolate Kure, and Kamitani and Azusa grab her arm and kick her from both sides. Kamitani's cover attempt was not accepted. Kamitani gave Kuri a hair whip, drove her into the corner, and stomped on her face. Kamitani complained to the referee, "You're being too biased (to Kuri)," and applied a sleeper hold. She then stomped on Kuri, asking, "Kuri, you understand, right?" Azusa stomped on Kuri repeatedly, followed by a series of hair whips, a body slam, and a soccer ball kick. When Kuri returned, Azusa feinted and kicked her in the face, then applied a standing heel hold to force her to give up. Natsuko hit Kuri with a series of reverse chops, rubbed her face against the top rope, and applied a brainbuster. Kuri jumped on Natsuko and applied a sleeper hold. However, Kamitani stepped in to cut her off. Kamitani sent Kuri to the corner. Kuri then hit a dropkick on Kamitani and an elbow attack on Natsuko. Nakano performs a diving body attack on Natsuko. Azusa holds Nakano down, and Natsuko hits a lariat. Anna delivers a missile kick to both Natsuko and Azusa, and Nakano and Anna exchange knee attacks. Natsuko returns the attack and goes for a German suplex. Natsuko counters with a shoulder throw and a senton. Kamitani swan-dives to Nakano. Nakano dodges, but Kamitani hits a dropkick. After dodging kicks, Kamitani rolls her up. Kamitani sticks her tongue out, and Nakano dodges and hits a back drop and knee attack. Kamitani attacks Nakano's face near the ropes. Nakano elbows, and Kamitani retaliates. Elbows collide, and spin kicks collide. Nakano hits a spin kick, and she prepares for a brainbuster. Kamitani counters, and Natsuko and Kamitani pincer attack, and Kamitani hits a double kick. 10 minutes have passed. Nakano returns, and Kura dodges Kamitani's double kick, delivering a missile kick, followed by Nakano's Violet Shooting. Nakano and Kamitani are down. Azusa delivers a middle kick to Anou, slamming her head into the mat. Anou dodges a charge and delivers a big boot. Natsuko interferes with Anou, and Azusa delivers a series of double kicks. Anou returns, and Azusa applies a Northern Lights and a Gokuraku Gatame. However, HATE cuts in. HATE attacks Anou one after another with a thrust. Anou counters a heel hold, but Azusa applies a kneebar. When Anou escapes, Azusa declares she's finished and takes her back. Anou counters, followed by a drop kick from Kura, Nakano with a Violet Shooting, and Anou with a Tan Tandole. However, Natsuko cuts in just in time. In the melee, Kura hit Kamitani with a Tokimeki Spear, Nakano and Kura flew out of the ring with a plancha, and Anno hit Azusa with a missile kick. However, Azusa's shoulder rose. Anno charged, and Azusa hit a palm strike. Anno returned and hit Azusa with a German suplex. Kozuen and the trio hit a heel drop, and Anno hit a tanddle. Azusa couldn't return the blow, and Anno won. After the match, HATE attacked Kozuen and left the ring.
Anna: "Kamitani, Kamitani, you're missing out. Tamu, Kuri, do your best. I'll do my best too, because I announced that May 31st will be my and Natsumi's 10th anniversary tournament. Natsumi and everyone participating in the tournament will create a special atmosphere, so please come and join us."
Nakano: "Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome aboard, Cosmic Angels! Let me introduce today's crew: Yunamon, Natsupoi, Kuri, Tamu, Saori. And, Sakura, you have a match at Senjo-san. Do your best. We are super delicious, we are the best, we are number one. You and we are all delicious, ummm!"
Anna: "It's been a while, I think."
Nakano: "Yeah."
Anna: "The two of you have been fighting H.A.T.E. for a long time."
Nakano: "I watch it every day."
Anna: "Yes I do. I was standing next to you for a bit today and I thought it would be great if I could protect you in some small way, and I think I was able to see a lot of what I think of as my goals. I want you to win (against the Kamitani team in Utsunomiya on February 24th). Win."
Nakano: "Of course. I'll protect both Kurira and Kozuen. I promise."
Anna: "Okay, okay, then take a look, that Mount Fuji... It's getting quite cloudy though (wry smile)."
Backstage was outdoors, and Mount Fuji had been visible until just a little while ago, but at this point it was covered in clouds and could not be seen.
Nakano: "There are clouds covering the sky, but when they clear, you'll be able to see the immense, tall, majestic and beautiful Mount Fuji."
Anna: "The best in Japan, no, what about us?"
Nakano: "The best unit in the universe!"
Anna: "Cosmic... Eh..."
Nakano: "What?"
Anna: "See you later."
Anna leaves the room. Nakano and Kura also leave the room.
