Production
editBackground
editThe show featured nine professional wrestling matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.[4]
Event
editThe event started with three bouts broadcast on Stardom's YouTube channel. In the first one, Mai Sakurai picked up a victory over Ruaka, Hanako and Ranna Yagami in a four-way match. In the second one, Hanan and Saya Iida defeated Ami Sohrei and Saki Kashima in tag team action. In the third preshow match, Rina defeated Yuzuki to secure the fifth defense of the Future of Stardom Championship in that respective reign.[5]
In the first main card bout, Natsuko Tora and Momo Watanabe defeated Lady C and Miyu Amasaki in tag team action. In the fifth bout of the event, Tam Nakano and Yuna Mizumori defeated Mina Shirakawa and Waka Tsukiyama in Nakano's return match. In the sixth bout, Mei Seira and Hazuki wrestled into a time-limit draw in a bout contested for the High Speed Championship. Seira therefore secured the fourth consecutive defense of the title in that respective reign. Next up, one half of the Goddesses of Stardom Champions Utami Hayashishita, IWGP Women's Champion Mayu Iwatani, AZM and Nanae Takahashi defeated two thirds of the Artist of Stardom Champions Syuri and Mirai, Strong Women's Champion Giulia and Suzu Suzuki in an eight-woman tag team match. In the semi main event, Saori Anou defeated Starlight Kid to secure the first defense of the Wonder of Stardom Championship in that respective reign. During the event, Natsuko Tora challenged Giulia for the Strong Women's Championship and Mina Shirakawa laid a challenge for Mayu Iwatani's IWGP Women's Championship in a bout which was scheduled for The New Beginning in Sapporo on February 23, 2024.[6]
In the main event, Maika defeated Saya Kamitani to secure the first defense of the World of Stardom Championship in that respective reign. After the bout concluded, Maika nominated Tam Nakano as her next title contender, continuing the story from before Nakano getting injured and having to relinquish the "red belt".[7][8][9]
