The momentum of the "Enthusiastic Champion" is unstoppable. World of Stardom Champion Suzu Suzuki clashed with Starlight Kid in a preliminary match before her third title defense (on the 29th in Ota Ward)
Teaming up with Tetsu Akira, they faced Kid and Ema Mashima. The champion, who had just competed in a double-header two days prior, was full of energy on this day as well
During the brawl outside the ring, he engaged in a fierce elbow exchange with Kid. He was slammed onto the mat outside the ring with a Kitcherman and hit with a diving body attack, but he managed to block the Black Tiger Divine Punishment. He then counterattacked with a sliding German suplex
As the rivalry between Tetsu and Mashima intensified, Suzuki unleashed a sandwich-style knee strike with Tetsu. He then followed up with a buzzsaw kick that left Kid sprawled on the ground. In the end, Tetsu, who had the right to compete, defeated Mashima with "My Knee" (knee strike), giving the champions the victory
After the match, Kid proposed a slightly different kind of preliminary bout
"You're not saying today's the last preliminary match for us, are you? How about we face off against each other at Korakuen Hall on the 27th, as two teams who have mutual feelings for each other?"
Kid revealed that he and Natsupoi had promised to team up before he retired, and then called out, "We have a tag team here that's like a mutual team, right? We've already done all the NEO GENESIS vs Mi Vida Loca stuff, so let's have an interesting preliminary match."
To this, Suzuki responded playfully, "I don't know what you're talking about. Mutual feelings? It's awkward to say that in front of all the members." Finally, she replied, "I'll think about it."
