In a showdown between stablemates with the Neo Genesis leader position at stake, AZM challenges Kid for his white belt.
The two have fought many times since their younger days. Kid was in the lead in the beginning, but at some point AZM has been overwhelmingly dominant in terms of results, and if recent records continue as they are, this will be AZM's first white belt victory...

Kid hits Azm with a series of Star Suplexes, and the referee counts to three, with Kid successfully defending his title.
Kid: "White Tiger is covered in blood again! But I managed to beat AZM for the first time in about five years! AZM is really strong, and her skills are so high that I'm jealous. What did you all think of our match!? I think this (applause from the audience) says it all. It's really fun to fight against the best opponent in the world! Thank you! And please stay by my side from now on, AZM."
Kid offers AZM a white rose, which AZM accepts, shakes her hand, and they share a hug.
Kid: "So, as of today, I am officially the leader of Neo Genesis! No hard feelings. Kid, AZM, Mei, Mitsuyoshi, these four young people will leave behind something amazing in the world of women's professional wrestling that only we can create, so please continue to support Neo Genesis!"
AZM is helped off the ring by Amasaki.
Kid: "So, everyone at Yokohama Arena, can I hear a big SLK chant? Thank you! Don't miss the title defense of the 24th Wonder of Stardom Champion, White Tiger SLK, and the new Neo Genesis! Goodbye!"
"My White Tiger mask turned bright red (with blood) again. But it was the largest audience in Stardom history, and the huge SLK chants there made me so happy, thank you. Today marks exactly one year since I was expelled. But now I am a fine Wonder Champion. I am very proud to have been able to defend my title against AZM at Yokohama Arena. It's a shame I haven't been able to headline a Big Match yet, but it was so much fun facing my world's best opponent. It's been about five years, and it took a long time, but I finally managed to win, so I think this third title defense was a huge hurdle. We're from the same stable, but I think the rivalry between SLK and AZM will continue forever. No matter what happens or when, I hope that fans will continue to watch our fights, feel at ease, and support Stardom and us. I think today we've really taken a big step forward in expanding the possibilities of women's professional wrestling with this Wonder belt, but next up is HANAKO?" We'll talk about that another time. And today, I officially become the leader of Neo Genesis. I'll do my best to keep things together, but I'll also rely on everyone a lot, and together we'll create the best Neo Genesis. Neo Genesis is entering its second chapter, and both as a unit and as an individual, we'll continue to aim higher and make a difference in the world of women's professional wrestling, so please support us."
