Yuna Mizumori, who defeated Mei Seira to win the coveted High Speed Championship, is facing her first title defense. Her challenger is Yuki Mashiro, who is making her first attempt at the title. This is Mizumori's first title defense, and with challenger Mashiro being an unknown quantity, it is expected to be a difficult match. Will Mizumori be able to defend the belt she has finally obtained against an unknown opponent, or will Mashiro seize it in one blow and change the tide of High Speed? This is a battle that will determine the future.

Mizumori: "My mind's completely blank. Is this Mashiro's world? For the past two weeks, I've been really scared of you. But now that I've faced you and we're having this match, I feel like it was incredibly fun. Mashiro, how do you feel about these past two weeks? How do you feel now?
" Mashiro: "I couldn't get that belt. I'm so frustrated! I felt like I gave it my all for 2025 in this match. I'll challenge for that belt again and again. So don't accept a challenge from anyone other than me!"
Mizumori: "I'm rejecting your tropical style! You're strange. I didn't get any chances for two years after coming to Stardom either. But I carved my own way through it with my own strength and worked hard, and that's how I've become strong. And now I'm champion. If you're serious about aiming for this high speed, then you'll have to seize your own chance and go get it. I'll be waiting for you as champion until then. We'll do it again then." Mashiro
leaves the ring.
Mizumori: "I successfully defended my High Speed title for the first time! It was really scary. But I think I was just making assumptions and getting scared unnecessarily. In reality, when you face your opponent properly, you feel their true emotions at that moment. From now on, I won't be afraid of anything and I won't run away. What I'm still aiming for is V30! A title defense that surpasses AZM's record for most title defenses. To do that, I need a challenger. Someone came to see me the other day, but will you come again? (No one shows up) 3, 2, 1... OK. So, I'll be looking for my next challenger on February 7th in Osaka. There are some guys who want to fight me, but I'll decide on them as well next time. Please continue to keep up with my speed.
