During the pre-show announcement, Natsu entered the ring
Natsu: "Thank you to everyone who came to the Shimizu tournament in Shizuoka Prefecture. I'm Natsu Sumire, the laid-back, lovable heel of the Oedo Tai. Thank you for coming. The Shimizu tournament has finally arrived again this year. It's the annual Shimizu tournament that we've been waiting for. What comes to mind when I think of the Shimizu tournament is something from a year ago, which I now use as a matter of course... I shouldn't say it's a matter of course, but it's the whip. Actually, the Shimizu tournament a year ago was the first time I ever wielded a whip, so today marks the one-year anniversary of that first whip. I shouldn't say it too loudly, but if possible, please enjoy watching me wield the whip again today. If possible, I'll try to use it secretly where the referee can't see. More importantly, I think many of you who have gathered here today love Stardom and the Stardom wrestlers, and have come here because of that, so I'm sure many of you regularly check the wrestlers' social media accounts. Have you all read the blog of our Oedo Tai leader, Kagetsu? Thank you. She's a really good writer, our leader. She's so funny. Some of you may have read it on your way here today, but there was a little preview on Kagetsu's blog today. For this once-a-year Shimizu tournament, Kagetsu has prepared a surprise today in an effort to make Shimizu exciting. Kagetsu has brought a special guest all the way to Shimizu. Who could it be? My guess is that it might be someone who will be involved with Oedo Tai in the future, or more specifically, with X at the next Korakuen Hall event. That's just my guess, though. So, without further ado, let's introduce the special guest that Kagetsu has brought all the way here today. Today's special guest that Kagetsu has brought is this person. Today's Stardom Shimizu tournament special guest is Kageko. Let's give her a warm round of applause
(Kageko appears)
Natsu: "Today's special guest is Kageko-san. Let's give her a round of applause. Kageko-san, thank you so much for coming all this way... what do I mean by 'all this way'? Thank you so much for coming all this way today."
Kosakai: "Not Kagetsu-san, but Kageko."
Natsu: "What the hell are you talking about? It's clearly Kageko-san, no matter how you look at it."
Kosakai: "That's right."
Natsu: "That's right. There's no way Kagetsu would be dressed like that before a match. Don't mess with me. Kageko, please say a few words to everyone in Shizuoka."
Kageko: "Um... Thank you very much for gathering here today at the Shimizu tournament. I was invited here by Kagetsu today."
Natsu: "Thank you so much, Kagetsu-san... Thank you so much, Kageko-san... Thank you so much for today, Kageko-san. Will you be able to watch Stardom from here today?"
Kageko: "Yes. Um... I'll be assisting Kagetsu-san backstage, and after the match, I'd like to have a handshake and autograph session with everyone. So please come. Thank you."
Natsu: "After the game, please come and see Kageko-san, thank you."
Kageko: "Thank you very much."

Ruaka |
The first match of the Shimizu tournament was Alex Gracia vs. Luaka. Whenever Alex grabbed Luaka's arm, Luaka would grab it back. Luaka attacked with moves like the reverse Boston crab and camel clutch, but Alex countered with a cutter, a 619, and a body scissors from the corner for the three count

*The other person is Konami
The second match is a 3-way battle between Natsu, Iida, and Konami. Natsu takes the microphone
Natsu: "Well, as I said earlier, it's the annual Shimizu tournament. I'm so happy to be in this 3-Way match. So happy. So happy. Right, Konami? We've been friends since before Konami's debut, haven't we? Do you remember, Konami? Back then, before you debuted, I practiced with you. It was so much fun. You were so small back then. So tiny. Now you've become a really great wrestler. Today, let's teach this newbie the basics of pro wrestling, the two of us (extends right hand) and reminisce about the old days."
Konami: "(Making an 'X' with her hands) No."
Natsu: "You've never been cute, ever. I've always hated you. You're not cute. You're so damn cheeky. You idiot. Iida-chan, Iida-chan is a really good newcomer. I've had my eye on you since your debut match. You're going to improve, you're going to improve. So today, let's fight together and take down this damn cheeky little girl (holds out her right hand). Right?"
(The screaming woman stops her)
Iida: "No, I don't want to. I'm sorry."
Natsu: "You're a total newbie. You're not going to improve any further. In fact, you have no room for improvement. Idiot. Bring it on. I'll do it."
As the match began, Konami and Iida attacked Natsu, but Konami betrayed Iida, and Natsu teamed up with Iida, but she immediately betrayed her as well, and Natsu and Konami launched a double attack on Iida. This time, Natsu betrayed Konami and instructed Iida to attack. Iida rolled up Konami, and Natsu attacked with a whip. After eliminating Konami, Natsu finished off Iida with a brainbuster

In the third match, Rina, Hinami, and Kashima will challenge the Oedo Tai
Kashima: "That guy definitely had his hair tied up."
Kagetsu: "Shut up. What are you talking about? That's not it. That's not it. They're just bean sprouts, brats, and more brats. There's no way they can beat us."
Kagetsu, Hazuki, and Jamie: "Come at us all at once, all three of us!"
STARS launched an early attack, but were quickly countered and Rina was caught. Rina executed a hip throw on Hazuki and tagged in Kashima. Kashima, Rina, and Hina fought back with coordinated attacks, but Oedo Tai showed their teamwork and in the end, Hina gave up to Hazuki's crossface

The semi-final was a tag team match between JAN and the multinational team. Natsuko and Hana exchanged shoulder tackles. The multinational team gained the upper hand in the brawl outside the ring. Natsuko attempted a double spear, but she was caught. Kyoko managed to tag in and they tried to execute a combination move, but it was cut off. JAN was on the defensive throughout the match, but Kyoko's hammer throw powerbomb secured the 3-count

The main event was a Goddess match between Iwatani and Utami & Momo at Korakuen Hall. AZM and Kid were trying to read each other's moves. QQ performed a train attack. Momo was focused on Iwatani. Kid hit Utami with a DDT. STARS simultaneously delivered low dropkicks. Iwatani hit Momo with a running knee. Iwatani and Momo exchanged elbows. Utami and Momo's combination attack landed on Iwatani. Momo delivered a Soumatou after Utami's Argentine backbreaker. Kid did a plancha to the outside. Tam and Iwatani worked together, and Iwatani delivered a standing dragon sleeper to AZM, who tapped out. After the match, Iwatani and Momo glared at each other
Post-match microphone
Iwatani: "Good evening, everyone in Shizuoka. Good evening, everyone in Shizuoka. Thank you for coming to the Shizuoka tournament today. I've been kicked in the head a bit too much and I'm feeling rough. Can someone take over?"
Kid: "STARS won the main event in Shizuoka. Mayu got a solid three-count... no, a submission from AZM, which should give them momentum for their challenge for the Goddess title. I'm sure Mayu and Arisa will bring the Goddess belts home for STARS."
Iwatani: "Okay. The members of STARS closed out today's main event. Believe in the present, shine tomorrow, We Are Stardom."
Post-match comments
Iwatani: "Even though it was a preliminary match, I didn't have a partner like Arisa Hoshiki, but Kid and Tam-chan supported me today and I was able to win the preliminary match brilliantly. Thank you so much."
Tam & Kid: "Thank you."
Iwatani: "I can only come to Shimizu once a year, so I'm really glad I was able to show everyone in Shimizu what I am like now, fighting alongside everyone at STARS."
Tamu: "That's good."
Kid: "Goddess's Belt"
Tam: "Take the Goddess's belt."
Kid: "Let's have someone go get it for us."
Iwatani: "That's right, it's a really good thing that STARS will have more belts."
Kid: "So, let's try it with Kittam. Don't you want to?"
Tamu: "So that means I can fight against Hoshiki-san?"
Kid: "Yeah."
Tamu: "That might be a good idea."
Iwatani: "With this, we'll bring the belt back to STARS in the Korakuen title match. We'll also bring back the ROH WOH belt from our American tour, so I think STARS will look even more dazzling with all the belts around their necks, so please look forward to it."
