Reo Onozaki |
*The other person is Natsuko Tora
The Osaka daytime and nighttime tournament kicks off with a three-way match featuring Konami vs. Tora Natsuko vs. Onozaki Reo. While it's framed as a Queens Quest vs. JAN one-on-two handicap match, it also includes a showdown between Natsuko and Onozaki, both from the same stable, and Onozaki, with a junior wrestler on the scene, is aiming for her first victory on her own merit. With three different motivations at play, who will ultimately claim victory?
As the gong sounds, they cautiously approach each other, and JAN is the first to join forces from a four-point stance, with Onozaki leading the way and driving Konami into the ropes. Onozaki betrays Natsuko and rolls her up, then tries to roll up Konami as well. When Konami is countered, Onozaki drives her into the corner and calls out to Natsuko, who launches a series of corner attacks, then gives instructions to Natsuko, using her as a springboard for a corner elbow. She also instructs Natsuko to deliver a cutter, which they do together. When Onozaki attacks Natsuko, Natsuko gets angry and unleashes a series of shoulder tackles. Natsuko gets Onozaki up and delivers an elbow smash followed by a spear. Konami enters and charges, and Natsuko tries to lift her up. Konami counters and grabs her arm. Natsuko counters and charges. When she charges again, Konami grabs her arm near the ropes. Onozaki pulls from below the ring as Konami hangs up and applies an armbar. Konami rolls up Natsuko, who has accumulated more damage. When they both attempt reverse pins, Onozaki intervenes. As Konami and Natsuko try to combine, Onozaki hits them both with a face crusher. Onozaki hits Konami with a running elbow and another face crusher. Konami retaliates with a middle kick. Natsuko tries to break up Onozaki's pin attempt but is thrown to the outside. Konami attempts a brainbuster but Natsuko breaks it up. Konami dodges and hits Onozaki with a senton. Konami eliminates Natsuko and pins Onozaki. Onozaki kicks out and hits Konami with a small package. Konami counters and goes for a triangle lancer. Onozaki gives up and Konami wins. After the match, as Konami leaves the ring, the two members of JAN shake hands

Saya Iida● |
|
A tag team match between Starlight Kid & Zaiya Brookside and Jungle Kyona & Saya Iida. STARS is a mixed Japanese-British team consisting of Kid and Zaiya, while Kyona & Iida are a teacher-student duo. The key to this match will be how well Kyona can lead Iida, and how Iida, who has also challenged for the Future of Stardom belt, performs
After both teams exchanged a clean handshake, Iida of JAN volunteered to start the match. Kid of STARS started the match. The match began with a struggle for an arm hold, and Kid threw Iida into the ropes. Iida attempted a dropkick, but Kid dodged it and took the match to the ground. Iida countered with a dropkick on Kid, then dropped Zaiya from the corner and teamed up with Kyoka. However, Kid dodged and eliminated Kyoka.

Iida dodged Kid's body slam and delivered a dropkick. Kid dodges Kyoko's charge after she takes over. Kid and Zaiya team up to attack Kyoko, and Kid goes for a 619, but Kyoko stops him. Then she lifts Zaiya up and drops them both onto the mat. She then puts them both in a reverse Boston crab. Kid and Zaiya desperately make their way to the ropes.

Viper |
| ○Summer violet |
AZM● |
|
Like the Kid & Zaiya team in the second match, the Viper & AZM team is a mixed Japanese-British force from Queen's Quest. Moreover, the size difference between Viper and AZM is actually this tag team's greatest asset. Will Viper's extraordinary power and the strategist AZM's speedy and tricky movements confuse Oedo Tai? Oedo Tai will be fielding the Hazuki & Natsu Sumire team. High-speed champion Hazuki will likely be looking to take down AZM, who rejected her title challenge. With the addition of the tricky Natsu, they are just as tricky as Queen's Quest. Oedo Tai still hasn't given up on recruiting AZM, so will they try to recruit her again this time?
Natsu volunteered to go first, saying "I'll be the first one out," but when she turned around, it was Viper. Natsu, wanting to conserve her energy for the evening show, was intimidated and begged Viper to go first. Viper complied, and AZM came out, giving Natsu a big yell. But when she turned around, it was Viper again. Natsu hesitantly reached out, and QQ attacked, starting the match. AZM landed a dropkick on Hazuki first, but Hazuki responded with a foot stomp over the apron and a face wash. Natsu stomped on AZM's face. AZM tried a dropkick on Hazuki, but Hazuki withstood it. Hazuki stomped on AZM and threw him into the corner. AZM delivered a dropkick and then passed the ball to Viper. Viper delivered shoulder tackles to both members of Oedo Tai. Hazuki dodged the cannonball, and Oedo Tai launched a double attack. Viper dodged this as well and drove Natsu into the corner. Hazuki also crashed into Viper, and both of them became victims of a cannonball. Hazuki retaliates, and Viper lifts her up. Hazuki gets behind her and applies a sleeper hold. Viper then slams her into the corner. Hazuki dodges Viper's charge and delivers a dropkick to her knee. Viper retaliates, and Hazuki applies a face lock. Viper then lifts her up and delivers a back drop. AZM tags in and drops Natsu before hitting Hazuki with a hurricanrana. Hazuki retaliates, counters Viper's charge, and slams her backwards. AZM and Hazuki exchange elbows. When HZK is thrown into the ropes, Viper headbutts her. AZM goes for the cover, but only gets a two count. Viper attempts a fantastic flip with AZM. Natsu breaks it up and sends Viper to the outside. Hazuki hits AZM with a codebreaker. Natsu attacks AZM in the corner, saying, "Time to punish that naughty brat." Viper breaks it up and lets AZM go for the cover. Natsu kicks out and hits AZM with a brainbuster hold. Viper's cut also damaged AZM. Viper then went for a fantastic flip on AZM, determined to get the kill this time. AZM hit a foot stomp on her shoulder and another diving foot stomp. However, Hazuki made a successful cut. AZM threw Hazuki out of the ring and grabbed Natsu. Natsu dodged a high kick and charged forward, but Viper hit a lariat and Hazuki hit a missile kick. As AZM charged forward, Natsu shouted "I got you!" and hit a small package. With this, Natsu got the three count and defeated Queen's Quest
Natsu: "Can I speak? I'm angry. I'm angry, but what am I angry about...? It's Stardom!! What kind of card lineup is this!? There's a title match tonight! Don't use Viper before the title match! Please, don't! Hmm, hmm... Well, I did win, so... I want Stardom to use me in the future, and I won, so all's well that ends well. Come tonight, everyone. I don't know how many of you will watch both the day and night shows, but please, Andras, me, Natsu Sumire, the two of us, two freelancers, will take the Stardom tag team belts and show you the moment we change history! Can I say one more thing? I was just thinking, Viper looks a little thinner. Is she in love? Thank you."

For Kagetsu and Goja, this will be a preliminary match for the World of Stardom title match to be held at Korakuen Hall on March 28th. The giant Goja may be the biggest test for Kagetsu's reign in a sense. Will they be able to find hints on how to deal with Goja from this match? Furthermore, Goja & Rebel, joined by Hana Kimura, will challenge Mayu Iwatani, Saki Kashima & Tam Nakano for the Artist of the Year title. This first tag team match will be a test run. If they make an impact here, it will give them good momentum heading into the title match at Shin-Kiba on March 24th
