STARS' team of Hanan, Iida Saya, Kogo Momo, and Hime Yuria will face off against H.A.T.E.'s team of Tora Natsuko, Ruanka, Fukigen Desu★, and Inaba Azusa in an eight-person tag team match. This match will serve as a preliminary bout for Hanan and Natsuko & Ruanka, who are scheduled to compete for the Goddess of Stardom Championship on February 7th in Osaka
Kogo and Azusa started the match, engaging in rope work. Kogo took the lead with a hurricanrana followed by a dropkick. Yuria called for a tag and delivered a dropkick to Azusa, then called in STARS and they attacked in a coordinated effort, all delivering dropkicks. Azusa grabbed Yuria's hair and slammed her to the mat, then delivered a soccer ball kick, feinted, and kicked her in the face. Ruanka delivered a corner body attack to Yuria, pinned her against the ropes, and attacked with H.A.T.E. Natsuko delivered a corner lariat, a shoulder tackle, and a body press to Yuria. Yuria delivered a dropkick to Natsuko, followed by a stunner from Kogo and a missile kick from Yuria. Hanan charged at Natsuko, but Ruanka interfered, and she and Natsuko delivered a combined shoulder tackle and a combined body press. However, Hanan dodged and delivered a double dropkick with Kogo, followed by diving body attacks from two directions. Hana takes Natsuko's back. Natsuko endures and attempts a lariat, but it's dodged, and she counters with a cross body. Iida delivers a shoulder tackle to Fukigen, and Fukigen pokes her in the eye. Iida dodges the corner attacks. When Fukigen dodges Iida, H.A.T.E. launches a series of corner attacks. Fukigen, Ruanka, and Natsuko each deliver a senton. Fukigen announces a brainbuster and rolls her up for the pin. Natsuko and Ruanka grab Kogo, but Hana and Yuria break up the hold, and Kogo performs a plancha to the outside. Fukigen is brought back in, and STARS deliver a combined face crusher. However, Fukigen lifts her shoulder. Iida declares she's going for the finish and attempts a lariat, but Fukigen dodges it. Iida counters and gets the three count with the Iidabashi
Iida: "Yes, STARS won at Korakuen. At the end, I was in a bad mood, very bad, but I'm in a great mood. What do you think of the final (Goddess) prelude?"
Hanan: "Iida-chan won the final preliminary match, and although Bee isn't here today, I've been winning consistently since my return."
Kogo: "Since Hanan-san came back, she's been winning all the time, right?"
Hanan: "We've been winning against H.A.T.E. all this time. I want to keep this momentum going and bring Goddess back to STARS with Bee!"
