It's just the right time for us to be all white, so I'd like to end with this celebration. Believe in me and shine in the future, take care!"
Comments from Iida and Anno
Iida: "Konami, that face suits your desires. But it suits me better. Because I suit the white belt better. So this white suits me better too. Today, Anno Saori and I joined forces and won the preliminary match. I know this is no time to be happy. From here on out."
Anno enters.
Anno: "Thank you, Iida. It's really reassuring to be working together with you. Knowing that we share the same feelings gives us great strength, and it's not just us. Sakura and Shuri and all the other babyfaces feel the same way. We all have the same goal and are fighting in the ring to change Stardom. Let's do it."
Iida: "Let's do it
Anno: "Iida has the Wonder belt. I have the World belt."
