EXV and Mi Vida Roka, whose all-out war on February 7th in Osaka has been announced, are facing off in a 10-person tag team match ahead of time. EXV will field the team of Maika, Gina, Tsukiyama Waka, HANAKO, and Rian, while MVL, without Bozilla, will be joined by Suzuki Suzu, Yamashita Rina, Aoki Itsuki, Tetsu Akira, and Furusawa Kian.
The match will be conducted under no-touch rules, meaning anyone inside the ring has the right to participate. Aoki steps forward and shouts, "Nice to meet you!" Akira volunteers to start and faces off against Rian. They lock up and push each other. Akira pushes Rian into the ropes. Akira grabs Rian's hair and taunts her, "Come on, Rian!" Rian delivers a series of elbows and prepares for a body slam. Akira counters and delivers a body slam of her own. Rian follows up with an arm whip and a dropkick. Furusawa enters and Akira and Furusawa engage in a dropkick duel. MVL isolates Rian and they play hair whip catch. Aoki joins in the hair whip, saying, "Kian, you try throwing it too!" Yamashita then slams her down and the five of them strike a pose. Gina delivers chops to MVL one after another, and Rian body slams Akira. Rian and Tsukiyama attack Akira in combination. Maika and Suzuki deliver a series of elbows. Suzuki lands an elbow, but Maika retaliates with a power slam and a sliding lariat. Suzuki doesn't let her run and retaliates with a German suplex, and MVL joins in with a thrust kick. Maika counters, but HANAKO interferes and lands a lariat on Suzuki. HANAKO also lands a lariat on Aoki, and Gina delivers a spinning side slam. HANAKO and Tsukiyama join forces, and HANAKO delivers a brainbuster. However, Akira intervenes and saves Aoki. In the ensuing scramble, Maika and HANAKO attempt a lariat, and Suzuki and Aoki also go for lariats, but are instead hit. Maika and HANAKO lift Aoki up. Aoki counters, causing Maika's lariat to hit her by mistake, and rolls her up for the pin. The referee counts to three, and Aoki defeats Maika.
Suzuki: "Another misfire? Are you okay? Another misfire, and this time our leader Maika has lost. Isn't this the result of you not trusting everyone? If you have something to say, go ahead."
It's not Maika, but HANAKO who takes the microphone.
HANAKO: "Hey Maika, what are you doing losing? What were you thinking in Takamatsu the other day, and with that guy just now? I said a lot of things in Takamatsu, and I was going to believe in you, but what's going on? It's hard for me to believe in you anymore. So I'll do it myself. I'm going to smash you all to pieces!"
HANAKO leaves alone. Maika follows her.
Aoki: "You guys are pretty close, EXV. But the one who won today is Mi Vida Roka, and
there's no doubt she'll win on February 7th as well. Come see Mi Vida Roka win in Osaka!"
MVL's comments
Aoki: "I, Aoki Itsuki, have pinned E neXus V's leader, Maika, for the three count, thanks to all of you! Thank you!"
Yamashita: "They have amazing teamwork. They seem to get along well, and I'm really jealous. But you know, I lost to Maika at the last Korakuen Hall event. It's fine to be friendly with each other, but you're doing a showdown in Osaka on February 7th, right? You're calling it the final battle, right? You're talking about units and all that. So, I'd like you to work on your teamwork a bit more for that. We're going into it determined to win, too. I'm seriously asking you to do so."
Suzuki: "I'm serious. Oh, everyone, I'm sorry for my absence the other day."
All: "Welcome back!"
Suzuki: "I'm back!" Even if I suddenly have to take a break, MVL will manage somehow. Right now Bozilla is out, but even without Bozilla, Bozilla is part of the team. We'll carry Bozilla's weight on our shoulders and give it our all on February 7th. Seriously, this is no time for fighting. You can fight all you want, but it's not fun unless you put in a little more effort. So everyone, let's keep working hard from now on. Let's go, Mi Vida Loca!
Aoki: "And thanks to Kian-chan for today!"
Suzuki: "Nice assist!" Yamashita:
"Let's only call her when we're throwing hair."
Suzuki: "I'll call you when we're playing catch. Thanks."
EXV's comments
HANAKO: "Ugh, come on! Maika, stop messing around!"
Maika: "Wait! I'm really sorry. I might have been a little out of sync since Takamatsu. I really think it's my own mistake, and I might not have been able to understand each person's feelings. I'm really sorry about that. But what do you mean by no trust? What do you mean by not being able to believe in me? Hey, do you have any idea how worried I've been about you ever since your debut match? And it's not just you! I've been watching Tsukiyama, Rian, and Gina all this time too. You have no idea how much I've wanted you all to grow. And this unit competition is the same thing, right? Hey. I still can't do it alone, so we have these unit competitions so I can learn about everyone's feelings and help each other grow. Isn't that what a unit is? Hey, say it. I won't know unless you say it. Come on, say it. Say it now. Just say it."
HANAKO: "Okay, let me say this. Seriously, what is E neXus V? Is that your and (Shirakawa) Mina's tag team name? What about us? You say you were watching, but when I was out, you'd come to Korakuen Hall and leave as soon as the match started. Even when we had our NEW BLOOD tag team match (voice trembling), you! You weren't watching our match, you went to see Shuri's performance. Honestly, it's just sad when someone does that. What kind of leader are you? What were you even watching of us? Suddenly you came back and started lecturing us, and I don't like how Tsukiyama and Rian just accepted it. That's why I'm saying I'll do it."
Maika: "Then why didn't you just say that from the beginning?" "You formed the unit, and what have you been doing up until now? Before I took time off, I entrusted it to you guys. I had high expectations for you guys, and even without watching the matches, I thought you could do it, so I entrusted it to you, didn't I?!"
HANAKO: "What?!"
Maika and HANAKO start fighting.
Maika: "You don't understand anything!"
