A double preliminary match for the World of Stardom Championship and the Wonder of Stardom Championship. Red challenger Tam Nakano and White champion Starlight Kid form a tag team that transcends unit boundaries. Opposing them is H.A.T.E., consisting of Red champion Saya Kamitani and White challenger Konami. The Red belt match will be held on April 29th at Yokohama Arena. Moreover, a harsh condition has been added: the loser will retire. Nakano, who lost at Korakuen Hall on March 3rd, will leave Stardom in accordance with the rules and will appear in the Stardom ring as a free agent... Meanwhile, the White belt match will take place on March 15th in Ota Ward. With the big match just a week away, Konami's provocations are likely to intensify. Also, Kamitani is an opponent that Kid absolutely does not want to lose to. They once fought for the White belt, and now Kid holds that belt. The relationship between Kamitani and Kid is one of the highlights.
Kid and Konami. Kamitani and Nakano glare at each other. Kamiya defeated Konami and Nakano defeated Kid to start the match. They slowly advanced and stared each other down in the center of the ring. When Nakano retreated, Kamiya charged forward and delivered a back drop. The two grappled, and Nakano cornered Kamiya and delivered an elbow. Kamiya dodged it and their elbows were exchanged. Kamiya delivered an elbow, Nakano stood up and retaliated. After an exchange of elbows, Kamiya landed a flurry of blows. Nakano elbowed Kamiya as he charged, and Kamiya countered with a big boot and a missile kick. The fight spilled outside the ring, and Kamiya threw Nakano into the audience. Konami also threw Kid into the audience. Kamiya brought Nakano back into the ring and called Konami in. She faked throwing Konami into the ropes and slammed her down, then delivered dropkicks from both sides. Konami kicked Nakano in the face. Kid tried to break up the hold as they were pinned against the ropes, but Kamiya caught him and pinned them both against the ropes while H.A.T.E. attacked. Kamiya delivers a series of stomps to Nakano, stepping on her face. Kamiya kicks Kid down as he calls out to Nakano from the corner. Kamiya taunts Nakano, "Don't you want to retire?!" Nakano lands a series of open-hand slaps, and Kamiya smiles and slaps back. Nakano stops Kamiya's charge. Kamiya withstands a back drop, but Nakano tries again and lands a back drop. Konami interferes and drops a dropkick on Nakano. She and Kamiya team up, but Kid interferes and they perform a hurricanrana and dropkick in succession. Nakano charges at Kamiya.

Nakano lands a spin kick. Kid delivers a diving body attack to Kamiya, followed by a standing moonsault press. When Kamiya retaliates, Kid slowly pulls him up and delivers a series of elbows while calling out "Kamiya," "Kamiya." Kamiya retaliates with a series of elbows of his own. Kid delivers a series of chops and charges forward. Kamiya feints by offering the referee and delivers a dropkick. Konami delivers a sliding kick to Kid, feints and applies an armbar, then an armlock. When Kid escapes, Konami kicks up his left arm. She then attacks him while pinning him against the ropes. Kid dodges a charge and climbs to the corner, where they exchange elbows. Konami drops him, but Kid delivers a dropkick. Nakano delivers a thrust kick as Kamiya interferes.

Kamiya tries to break up the hold, but Nakano hits Kamiya with a spin kick, and Kid and Nakano compete with a tiger suplex. Nakano sends Kamiya out, and Kid gets into a tiger suplex position on Konami. Konami counters, and Kamiya hits Nakano with a swan dive body attack. After a dropkick from Kamiya, Konami hits Kid with a German suplex. Kamiya hits Nakano with a spin kick and a star crusher. Konami targets Kid and delivers a buzzsaw kick. She throws another one, then kicks him in the face. Konami covers him with one leg, and Kid is unable to move as the referee counts to three.
Konami: "Kid, Kid, Kid! Wake up, Kid! Hahahaha. Kid, did today bring back memories, or rather, traumas of ours? Hahahaha. I hope today's face kick doesn't mean you have to miss next week's title match! Hahahaha. Oh, that's right, Nakano Tam, if you're a free agent and have any problems, I'm always here to listen! I'll give you my phone number later. Kid, let's make next week's title match an even more exciting and fun one! Hahaha. The bond between us, who are from the same generation, is never-ending!"
Kamitani: "Nakano Tam, that girl really pisses me off. I'm going to completely get rid of her from Stardom, no, from the pro wrestling world.
" Konami: "Kid! Kid! Are you watching? Where did you go, Kid? Do you remember that day? Kid said it was a trauma, but for me that face kick is a precious memory of mine. Let's make next week even more intense, no, let's have an even more intense time together. I'm looking forward to it. The friendship between contemporaries never ends."
Kid: "I thought this might be our last time at Yokohama Arena. We're in different units now, but I really wanted to cherish this day when we could team up at this time. About a year ago, Tam-chan helped me out. I'm sorry." Nakano:
"I'm sorry I couldn't protect you. You helped me out a lot today. Don't say that. This definitely won't be our last time at Yokohama Arena. We'll come back victorious."
Kid: "That's true. But because of that day when Tam-chan helped me out, I was able to move forward. For the first time, I was able to make my own choice. We're on different paths now, but I still haven't repaid Tam-chan. I want to win a singles match against Tam-chan." Nakano: "
Well... don't talk like it's the last time, really. It's not the last time. We'll come back victorious at Yokohama Arena. So, when that time comes..." Nakano
whispers to Kid.
Kid: "...I was able to hear you clearly today.
" Nakano: "Was I right?"
Kid: "Yeah. I could hear you. Right. Right now, I'm going to do what I have to do as the Wonder Champion. But Tam-chan, don't forget to enjoy pro wrestling. Today, Konami kicked me so badly, and the memories of that day came flooding back in an instant. But I won't lose. I won't become weak. I will definitely get my revenge with my own hands. I have a preliminary match with Konami tomorrow, but there's something I want to confirm in my mind that's separate from this Wonder match with Konami, so please watch carefully tomorrow as well."
Nakano: "You're talking a lot as usual (laughs)."
Kid: "That's because I'm SLK (laughs)."
