EXV and Mi Vida Roka, who will face off in an all-out war on February 7th in Osaka, are having their second consecutive preliminary match. The previous day saw a six-person tag team match and singles matches, but this time it's an all-out battle in an eight-person tag team match. EXV will face off with the team of Maika, Tsukiyama Waka, HANAKO, and Rian, while MVL will face off with Suzuki Suzu, Yamashita Rina, Aoki Itsuki, and Tetsu Akira. EXV is at a disadvantage due to the rift between Maika and HANAKO, so reconciliation between the two is essential...
Aoki shouts, "Please take care of us!!", and Akira, who debuted a year ago, says, "I'll go!" and goes first, exchanging elbows with Rian. Akira hits a body slam followed by a sleeper hold. Rian escapes and hits a cross body. Tsukiyama and Rian hit a corner elbow, call in Maika, and after Maika sets up, HANAKO hits a body press. EXV, with Maika, Tsukiyama, and Rian, launched a kicking pincer attack. Aoki caught Rian and they exchanged hair whips in an MVL. Yamashita took a series of elbows from Rian and stood up, taking her down in one hit. Rian delivered a corner dropkick and a hair whip. Maika hit Yamashita with a lariat. Yamashita retaliated, and they exchanged elbows. They exchanged lariats, and Yamashita delivered a back drop. Aoki hit Maika with a corner elbow, a corner double knee attack, and a double knee drop. Maika retaliated, stopped Aoki's charge, and delivered a power slam. Aoki hit a lariat, and Maika returned the favor with a lariat. HANAKO called for a tag and hit Aoki with a shoulder tackle, a corner body attack, and a big boot. Aoki resisted her attempt at an Argentine backbreaker and delivered an elbow. HANAKO took her down with a big boot and charged forward. When Aoki dodges, Suzuki delivers an elbow, followed by a sandwich elbow from Suzuki and Aoki, and then a side slam from Aoki. When HANAKO kicks out, Akira offers to tag in. Akira hits HANAKO with a corner elbow and a series of dropkicks. HANAKO provokes him and delivers a body slam. When Akira kicks out, HANAKO goes for an Argentine backbreaker, but Suzuki breaks it up. Maika and HANAKO team up with corner attacks. With an assist from MVL, Akira puts HANAKO in a face lock. When HANAKO escapes, Akira goes for a half hatch. HANAKO resists, so Akira kicks her up, delivers a knee, and throws her with a half hatch. However, HANAKO lifts her shoulder. As Akira charges, HANAKO hits her with a big boot. Yamashita breaks it up, and in the ensuing scuffle, Rian eliminates the opposing side. Akira dodges HANAKO's big boot and lands a series of elbows. HANAKO stops Akira's charge and lifts her up. Akira rolls her up for a pin and lands a dropkick, followed by a series of mounted elbows. HANAKO hits a brainbuster, then a well-aimed lariat on Akira, followed by an Argentine backbreaker and a JP Coaster. Akira can't kick out and HANAKO wins.
HANAKO: "I won! Rian, thank you for making me see the light. And this is no time for fighting. Maika, I'm sorry."
Maika: "You're absolutely right. I really need to complement Rian's shortcomings. I'm lacking in so many ways. Really. But I truly want to grow together with you, and I want us all to go higher and higher as EXV. And I hope you'll continue to support me from here on out."
Maika and HANAKO shake hands.
HANAKO: "So, the five of us from EXV are going to take down Mi Vida Roka on February 7th in Osaka and smash them to pieces, so all of you come and see us. So, EXV is here!"
E neXus V's comments
HANAKO: "Maika, I'm sorry for saying so many things. Rian, thank you for opening my eyes. From here on, E neXus V will start anew and move forward towards 2/7, so first we will defeat Mi Vida Roka at Korakuen and connect that to 2/7!"
Maika: "HANAKO, I'm sorry too! But I was happy. Thank you for making me realize something. HANAKO is a really reliable person. And it's not just HANAKO, thank you Rian. I still have a lot to learn as a leader. I may still stumble, but because E neXus V is here, I want to keep going with my head held high. To that end, as HANAKO said, we will defeat Mi Vida Roka on 2/7 and grow even more as a unit!"
All: "E neXus V is here!
MVL's comments
Aoki: "Akira, you did well. You were reliable. I really think it was good that I passed the tag to Akira at the end. Great job. You did well."
Akira: "Thank you. I'm happy. I'm really happy to have met such wonderful ladies who scold me when I do something wrong and are even happier than me when I do something well. The ring is the best. Thank you. Also, HANAKO, I really want to do a future match with you. Please let me do it."
Yamashita: "You should do it!"
Suzuki: "There's no other way!"
Aoki: "Say out loud everything you want to do."
Yamashita: "It doesn't matter that we're in a unit. Just say whatever you want to do."
Akira: "Thank you."
Suzuki: "February 7th Osaka, E neXus V and Mi Vida Roka are going head-to-head, that sounds perfect. We're gonna do it, you guys can expect great things."
Everyone: "Mi Vida Roka!"
