At the recent Korakuen Hall event, Saya Kamitani ambushed Starlight Kid during her greeting. She has given up the rest of her "paid leave" and returned to the ring. Her target is, of course, a preliminary match against Kid. As a result, an eight-woman tag team match has been scheduled: Starlight Kid, Sorei Ami, Hanan, and Bea Priestley vs. Saya Kamitani, Konami, Tora Natsuko, and Ruanka. The match is a triple preliminary match for the World of Stardom Championship (Kamitani vs. Kid), the Wonder of Stardom Championship (Konami vs. Sorei), and the Goddess of Stardom Championship (Natsuko & Ruanka vs. Hanan & Bea). Although the White and Goddess titles have not yet received approval from the champions or had their dates decided, it is safe to assume that they will take place. All the champions are H.A.T.E., but who will gain momentum for the big match?
Kamiya and Kid step forward as the gong sounds. After a stare-down, Kamiya spreads her arms and Kid delivers an elbow, Kamiya retaliates, spreading her arms even wider to receive it. After an exchange of elbows, Kid delivers a flurry of blows. They throw each other into the ropes and Kamiya sticks out his tongue. Kid dodges and attempts a hurricanrana, but Kamiya gets back up. Neither side gives in to the cover exchange. Hanan attacks Natsuko with a dropkick and a series of elbows. Natsuko gets up to receive the blows and takes a stance, but Ruanka pulls Hanan's leg from below the ring, sending the fight outside. Hanan is brought back in, and Natsuko covers her with her knee, pinning her against the ropes and attacking with H.A.T.E. Natsuko delivers a body slam and a body press to Hanan. Konami delivers a soccer ball kick and a camel clutch to Hanan. Sorei tries to break it up, but Natsuko stops her. Konami drives Hanan into the corner and stomps on her face. Kamitani delivers a dropkick to Hanan. Ryuka hits Hanan with a shoulder tackle, and then she and Natsuko double-team a body press. Hanan charges in, but Ryuka kicks her away. Hanan lands a series of elbows, and Ryuka scratches her face. Hanan tags in after a running elbow smash. Bee and Ryuka exchange lariats. Bee lands a series of elbows, but Natsuko interferes. Bee separates Natsuko and Ryuka, and Hanan hits Natsuko with a diving body attack. Hanan and Bee compete with knee attacks. Ryuka retaliates, but Bee doesn't fall for the feint and hits a lariat. However, Ryuka counters with a cross body. Sorei hits Konami with a corner body attack and a shoulder tackle. Konami retaliates, and gets back up after receiving a reverse chop from Sorei. 10 minutes have passed. In an exchange of blows, Natsuko and Ruanka delivered a double shoulder tackle, and Konami applied an armlock. When Sorei escaped, Kid cut off Konami's charge. Bee and Hanan delivered a combined back drop, Sorei hit a lariat, and Konami, who was lifted up, was put in a sleeper hold. Sorei pushed Konami into the corner and charged. Konami dodged, and HATE delivered a series of corner attacks. Natsuko and Ruanka hit a lariat, Kamitani hit a dropkick, and Konami hit a PK and a German suplex. Sorei kicked out, and Konami hit a buzzsaw. Sorei dodged but was hit with a high kick. Konami went for a triangle lancer, but Bee made an early stop. Hanan and Bee teamed up, but Natsuko and Ruanka hit a lariat. Kamitani did a swan dive plancha to the outside. Sorei hit a brainbuster on Konami as she returned to the ring. Konami countered, then dodged Sorei and applied a sleeper hold, but Sorei countered with a lariat at close range, followed by another lariat. Kid and Kamitani dodged each other, and Kid delivered a double knee from behind. Sorei slipped past Konami and delivered a lariat, Blue Thunder, and Lightning. Konami couldn't counter and Sorei won
Magnificent: "I beat the white champion Konami! Hey Konami, do you know? Konami, you've never beaten me directly even once! You can't complain about the challenge on February 7th, right?"
Konami: "Is it February 7th in Osaka? I'm free right now, so I'll hang out with you."
Sorei: "Good evening everyone who came to see us today! Oops, I made a mistake. Today is the first time I've teamed up with three people in a mixed tag team match like this. Can I say something? Congratulations on Hanan's return! While we were out of action, HATE has become the dominant force, but let's all take the belts on February 7th so that there will be more and more days like today when all the babyfaces can come together in the ring to close things out. So, today is Stardom's 15th anniversary show! I'm not a homegrown Stardom wrestler, but I still love Stardom, love it, love it, so I want to compete with all the babyfaces here for the top spot and stand at the pinnacle of Stardom! After this fierce battle, there will be an autograph session, so we look forward to your participation. What should I end this with? Stardom? Then I'll end it with Stardom. Believe in the present and shine tomorrow, We are Stardom!"
Sorei: "I'm so, so happy that I was able to finish today as a baby. I'm not a homegrown talent, but I often do commentary when I'm out, so I get to see Stardom from a third-party perspective a lot, and even though I don't know all of Stardom's history, right now everyone's arguing about babyfaces and heels, but each of those wrestlers has their own background, and I've always thought that it's really, really brilliant to see all the wrestlers achieve their dreams, no matter what, and I'm really envious of them, and I finally made it back to the ring last year, so it took me a little while to challenge for the white belt, but this time on February 7th I'll definitely wear the white belt, and then we'll all wear the Goddess and the red belts too, and I want to create an even bigger era for babyfaces."
Kid: "I honestly thought, 'What's with this tag team?' but I guess it's like a prelude to everything. Because HATE has some amazing belts, it inevitably becomes a prelude to a mixed tag team match against H.A.T.E. But I'm getting a little tired of that scenario, and while it's fine to be a babyface, I have a unit called Neo Genesis, so let's completely change the landscape on February 7th. Then we might end up fighting each other again, and I've been waiting for this for a long time, Kamiya, but today was just a warm-up, so let's go at each other more until February 7th, Kamiya. Goddess?"
Hanan: "The schedule hasn't been decided yet. I haven't heard anything about Jesus yet."
Kid: "But you're already overflowing with motivation, aren't you?"
Hanan: "That's the only option, given how things are going. We have a preliminary match tomorrow, so we want to win again tomorrow and wrap up Stardom's 15th anniversary in style."
Everyone: "We are Stardom!"
"Hey, Magnificent, you're saying I've never beaten you? God's Eye must have a lot of free time to even think about things like that. I've been so busy with so much to do that I've even forgotten about something so insignificant. Oh well. If that's what you say, I'll put this belt on the line against you on February 7th. I'm sure you'll do something interesting. I'm looking forward to it, God's Eye."
