White belt champion Konami faces her H.A.T.E. stablemate Rina in her second title defense. Konami and Rina are sisters, but it seems that fighting in different corners is a different matter.

Konami blocked the second with a chair, slamming it into Konami's face. "You did it, you little brat!" Konami shouted, delivering a soccer ball kick, a dropkick, and an armlock.

Konami: "Hey, I successfully defended the Wonder title for the second time! Thanks. But Rina, you've gotten so strong. It's pretty rare for me to get a nosebleed. I guess we must have the same bloodline as sisters. But for me, the fact that I was able to have a match against Rina for the belt in the main event at Korakuen Hall, for Stardom's 15th anniversary, is incredibly moving and something I'm very proud of."
Rina: "You're always talking down to me, saying I've gotten stronger! I'm seriously not giving up, so I'll take that belt from you again, you damn big sister!"
Konami: "Rina, you're still as foul-mouthed as ever. But that's okay, you're fine just the way you are. But through today's match, I've realized I want to fight you more, and I think it won't be long before you wear this singles belt. So please continue to fight alongside me." They
shake hands and hug. Magnificence enters the ring.
Sorei: "Konami, first of all, congratulations on your title defense! Let me get straight to the point. Let me be the next white belt defender!"
Konami: "Huh? Hey, read the room. We were just making up after our sisterly quarrel and things were going well, and then you come along and mess things up. Read the room. Besides, didn't you lose a singles match against Iida at Korakuen Hall to decide the next challenger?"
Sorei: "Yeah, I did lose a singles match against Iida here at Korakuen, and I haven't achieved much since then, but after seeing Iida vs. Konami at Ryogoku, and then Rina vs. Konami today, there's no way I'm going to give up so easily! Plus, I'm the only one here to challenge you. So that means Sorei Ami is the next challenger for the white belt, right? Konami, the next big match is February 7th in Osaka, okay?"
Konami: "Hey, why are you deciding everything on your own? Right. What do you guys think?" Do you think this guy deserves the white belt in Osaka?
Sorei: "Yeah, I think so!"
Konami: "Shut up. Well, it's February 7th, and I'm free, so I might play around with you a bit, but before that, God's Eye, stop just practicing all the time and get some results."
Sorei: "Fine, I'll get some results here. Don't think this is just a game!"
Konami: "Go home. Now, H.A.T.E. won the main event again today. Come on up, you H.A.T.E.s. Stardom's 15th anniversary was truly a year dominated by H.A.T.E. And for the 16th anniversary, we H.A.T.E.s will dominate as well. Stardom, the end!"
"My second title defense, and I've defended this belt. Being a champion is fun. It's been a long time since I've had a nosebleed like this. A singles match against Rina, and the main event at Korakuen Hall, it kind of reminded me of the 5★STAR GP finals from a few years ago. Because of that, it was a very emotional match, and after today's match, I think it won't be long before Rina takes this belt. But what's up with God's Eye? All talk, huh? He's calling himself the next challenger, and he lost to Sorei and Iida in an interesting match at Korakuen Hall, and now he's brazenly declaring his challenge. But I'm free right now, so I might play around with you for a bit, but who knows? You might be finished before that. Sorei Ami, The End!"
Rina's comment
: "About a year ago, I challenged for the white belt for the first time, and ever since then I've been boasting about how I would wear the white belt while I was still a teenager and lead Stardom, but even today I still couldn't win. I mean, Stardom has a lot of members, and title matches, especially singles, are only for a limited number of people, so I had to make the most of this rare chance, and even though she's from the same stable, I wanted to beat Konami, or rather, especially Konami, so it's a complete mess. I'm frustrated, frustrated, but it's too cliché to put it all down, my mind can't keep up right now, but I can't give up. I will definitely, definitely wear the white belt. I'll polish the move I used today even more, and I will definitely wear the white belt."
