SEGMENT:
After the recap, camera showed off a packed Korakuen Hall which was at max limited capacity for tonight's event. The commentary is ready to go as they run down the card for the audience but before they could finish up, "Bring Me To Life" Waggaki Band (feat. Amy Lee) plays to a negative reaction. The commentators pointed out about Haruna Sakazaki's actions as the legend assaulted Momoko Honda after The Star Warrior lost in a 2-on-1 handicap match. As the music dies down, Haruna finally got to explain her actions. She reminded people about the time that she was considered one of the best female wrestlers in the world only for the world to forget her and move on towards the so-called New Generation of Women's Wrestling. Haruna made it clear that she intends to destroy all that the Momoko Honda and the rest of the younger JET roster stand for before sending out a challenge to The Star Warrior who wasn't in attendance. Haruna Sakazaki vs. Momoko Honda at Cinderella Story XV, she knows that Momoko will be here at Korakuen for next week's Go-Home Show.

Semi Main/Number 1 Contenders Tag Match:
Osoroshii (Masumi Tsutsumi and Mei Namikaze) vs. Megan Enders and Talia Areano
In the semi-main of the evening, both teams were given the opportunity of a lifetime as the winner would face off against the JET Tag Champions at Cinderella Story. Both teams had cases that could be made for why they were in this spot. Talia and Megan were former JET Tag Team Champions and pinned Q/Zhang at RISE Together Finals in their second round match while Osoroshii deserved this opportunity after being so close to winning the whole tournament. Both teams gave an incredible tag match that near falls for the whole bout but there was never a decisive winner as the match ended with the 20 minute mark being hit and the match ending as a time limit draw.
Post Match:
With there being no winner, the tag champs who were sitting next to the time keeper got the microphone that since there was no winner, neither team was going to be getting a shot at them. This brought out JET President Hanako Nakamoto who laughed at the idea that DESPERADOS get to make that decision, the President soon announced that at Cinderella Story, it will be a Triple Threat Tag Team Match for the JET Tag Team Championship.
