Starlight Kid, Seira Mei, and Amasaki Mitsuyoshi of Neo Genesis faced off against Tsukiyama Waka, HANAKO, and Rian of E neXus V in a six-person tag team match. This unit showdown between Neo Genesis, who are without Suzuki Suzu, and EXV, who are without Shirakawa Mina and Maika, was a prelude to the White Belt match between Kid and HANAKO. Which team will gain momentum heading into the title match at Korakuen Hall on May 22nd?
HANAKO and Kid glared at each other, and the main event began. HANAKO raised her hand, but Kid pushed her away and they locked up. HANAKO pushed back, and when they broke, Kido circled around HANAKO. HANAKO caught her and slammed her with a body slam. Rian then prepared to body slam Kid. Kid countered, but Rian did a cross body. Kid dodged it and shouted, "Don't underestimate me!" and delivered a dropkick. Seira hits Rian with a series of dropkicks. When Rian retaliates, Seira delivers a hair whip. Amasaki uses her hang time to body slam Rian into a sleeper hold. Rian escapes and lands a series of elbows. Amasaki retaliates with a series of elbows of her own. Rian lands a cross body and hands the ball to Tsukiyama. Tsukiyama hits Amasaki with a dropkick followed by a hip butt. Seira interferes and delivers a hip attack to both of them at once. When Amasaki retaliates, Tsukiyama jumps on her and goes for a Palo Special. As Amasaki charges, Tsukiyama delivers a dropkick. HANAKO hits Amasaki with a running body attack. She slams her into the opponent's corner and calls in Kid. Kid comes out and dodges HANAKO with a body attack. HANAKO catches her and drives her into the corner. Kid dodges and delivers a dropkick to the knee, followed by a standing moonsault press. HANAKO refused to be thrown into the ropes and unleashed a barrage of elbows. Kid fought back, and they exchanged elbows. Kid anticipated HANAKO's charge and dodged, then delivered a diving body attack. HANAKO countered and lifted Kid up. Kid reversed and went for the cover, but when it was reversed, she went for a stretch muffler. HANAKO countered with a backflip. As HANAKO charged, Tensaki assisted Kid with a DDT, and Kid delivered a double knee attack from behind. HANAKO anticipated a brainbuster and slammed her down in the opposite direction. Rian and Seira entered the ring. Rian unleashed a series of dropkicks, which Seira dodged, but Rian dodged the kick and delivered a dropkick of her own. Seira countered, dodged a corner attack, and NeoGen delivered a series of corner attacks, followed by a trio dropkick, and Seira delivered a neckbreaker. However, Rian managed to counter that as well. 10 minutes had passed. As Seira went for a bomb, Rian hit a hurricanrana and HANAKO delivered a body attack. Tsukiyama hit a hip press. Seira kicked out, and Rian hit a series of elbows and tried to roll up. After a back-and-forth of trying to roll up, Rian managed to roll up, but Tensaki made a successful break. Neo Generation separated EXV, and Kid flew to the outside with a plancha. Seira and Rian tried to roll up, and after Tensaki hit a DDT, Seira rolled up with a shooting star for the three count.
Kid: "Hey HANAKO, you've only had two preliminary matches, are you sure you're okay as you are? Right now, HANAKO is nothing more than a challenger. With this, it's only natural that you'll defend your title."
HANAKO grabs him.
HANAKO: "Don't mess with me
!" Kid: "Come on! You can do it! I'm not scared of you at all
. You're much more than this. Tomorrow (Toyama), on the 21st (Korakuen), I'm going to beat you!"
Seira: "Scary. Well, Mei wanted to say something. Rian, Rian. You've been making moves lately, haven't you? This High Speed belt and the white belt that Kid holds are both your goals, right? Mei would be happy to accept any challenge from Rian. So hurry up and get stronger. Do your best. We'll be waiting."
EXV leaves the ring.
Kid: "Yes, well, I have a title defense match against HANAKO scheduled for the Korakuen Hall event on the 21st. Everyone, please come to the venue and watch. Come and support me. You have no choice but to come to Korakuen! Well, for those who can't come, I think there will be a live stream, so please, please, please, please watch it there. Thank you! Today, Mei won, so please wrap things up." Seira
: "Gladly! Can I do that? Five seconds before falling in love with Neo Generation!"
