Show Notes
- Prior to the beginning of the show, there was a contract signing for the High-Speed Championship match between Mei Seira and Saki Kashima at Korakuen Hall on the 13th January, with the new rules for High-Speed title match also being unveiled; a ten minute time-limit with each bout contested under a two-out-three falls rules and a ten count on the outside replacing the international twenty count.
- Once again, H.A.T.E lost a match with a misplaced baseball bat shot, this time Momo hitting Thekla in the face so that Athena ultimately got the victory.
- Athena confronted Thekla after the opening match, ahead of their Ring of Honor Women’s World Championship match at Korakuen Hall. Athena promised victory, but Thekla said that Stardom was her realm, and she is queen bitch.
- Courtesy of their victory over STARS, the Cosmic Angels team of Yuna Mizumori, Aya Sakura and Sayaka Kurura are the first into the tournament final on 12th January.
- After Hazuki was highly critical of STARS’ loss in the Artist of Stardom Championship tournament, Hanan took to social media to say that Hazuki sometimes confused being mean with being passionate, seemingly building on rising tensions inside of STARS.
- The H.A.T.E team of Natsuko Tora, Rina and Fukigen Death will face Cosmic Angels on the 12th January for the right to challenge Tam Nakano, Saori Anou and Natsupoi at Korakuen Hall on the 13th January.
