Desperado has been out of action since July with a knee injury. He and Starlight Kid teamed together at 2022’s Historic X-Over as well.

Starlight Kid had originally challenged Desperado to a singles match for the show, calling him out back in June.

キッド「私ひとつ言いたいことがある。男子選手と闘う機会があると……前回は合同興行（2022年11月20日『Historic X-over』）があったんですけど、女子同士でしかダメってことで。だからひとつだけ、思いました。デスペっちとならシングルマッチしたい」
