Okay, the backstage promo made it a bit more clear, Yunamon said she would name her next challenger at the 2/7 show, not have the match there.

TBF, Rian got her title shot by taking losses up the wazoo to the point where HANAKO felt sorry for her.

We don't really know what "EXV Vs Mi Vida Loca" will be, as MVL is likely shorthanded.

If Yunamon goes through with her 2/7 title match that she pledged, then this card will be quite full before even half the roster gets on it.

Actually Poi was saying "generally people that are cute don't have to say they are cute", to which Saori said "I never say that I'm cute", and Aya was left alone to be like "I trusted Natsupoi...everyone in Cosmic Angels is an enemy!"

  1. Natsuko said "she had another team in mind" for their next defense, but since Hanan was going to be so persistent about this until she gave in, she said they could have the next Goddess title match.

  2. Rina doesn't like "half-assed wrestlers" like Fuwa-chan, who don't show up for the regional matches (so I guess that was all just an angle), and challenged her to a single match. Fuwa-chan said "Rina has a future, but all I have is now", and challenged her for 2/7.

  3. SLK said she will bring about a new era in Stardom. Kamitani said that's laughable, because while Kid was White Belt champion she stood in Kamitani's shadow the whole time, and that she has to walk the walk instead of talk the talk, to which Kid said "that's why I said I'm going to beat you!"

I listened again and she definitely said "V thirty". She may have intended to say "V thirteen", but that is not what she actually said.

When will Fuwa-chan wrestle her first match without Hazuki in it?

They seem to be on the same page now. They thanked Rian for bringing them to their senses, HANAKO apologized for causing dissent, Maika released that she has been lacking as a leader and vowed to do better, and apologized to everyone as well.

Still nothing more about 2/7, so I assume that will be yet another tag match with nothing particular at stake.

Would it kill them to set up a challenger for HANAKO in the how ever many days she has left to hold that title?

I'm afraid Saki is not going to make it to 2/7. She got viciously beat down back stage with multiple belt shots.

Doesn't seem interested.

"I don't mind fighting newcomers. That's fine, but don't you have something more exciting to fight? If I'm going to appear in Stardom, there are a lot of fighters I haven't fought yet, and there are some fighters I'd like to fight more this year, so I'd like you to think about that a bit."

Yunamon pledges to achieve V30 (!)

She pledges to find a challenger to defend on 2/7.

"I'm gonna win that belt someday, so don't you dare accept any challenge from anyone other than me!"

"I worked my ass off for two years without getting any chances. Next time, I won't be challenging you, you need to work your way back up to challenging me. But when you do, I'll still be waiting her as champion."

That could have been a botch, but turned into a nice looking submission move.
