Pre-Show Notes
- This show marks the return of Kizuna Tanaka, who was withdrawn from the Shinjuku FACE card on the 13th December due to a persistent back injury.
- The premise of this show is the inaugural Twinstar Tag Team Cup – a single elimination 8 team bracket. The announced teams for the tournament are; MiraiSaku (MIRAI & Mai Sakurai), Dark Wolf Army (CHIAKI & Nagisa Nozaki), Selene Flora (Victoria Yuzuki & Kizuna Tanaka), Utami Hayashishita & Kouki Amarei, Chika Goto & Miku Aono, Natsumi Showzuki & Misa Matsui, Bozilla & Myla Grace and Nao Ishikawa & Rea Seto.
- Attendance Notes: The announced attendance for the show in Sendai PIT was 212. It’s the third time that Marigold have run the venue, and though it’s not the highest (329 in June) it is a 4.4% increase from their previous outing there – 203 on Night 5 of the Dream Star Grand Prix in September with Kouki Amarei vs. MIRAI in the main event.

Show Notes
- MiraiSaku were able to capitalise on miscommunication between Bozilla to hit the former with a chair and get her out of the ring so that Mai Sakurai could submit Grace with the STF.
- As a result of the teams of Utami Hayashishita and Kouki Amarei, and Chika Goto and Miku Aono going to a time-limit draw, both teams were eliminated meaning that Natsumi Showzuki and Misa Matsui would receive a bye to the final.
- Showzuki and Matsui attacked immediately after MiraiSaku defeated Selene Flora in their semi-final, hoping to achieve an advantage.
- MIRAI hit Showzuki with a Lariat and pinned her in 14:18, with MiraiSaku becoming the first ever winners of the Twinstar Tag Team Cup.
