Reo Onozaki |
Tam Nakano and Utami Hayashishita, who were scheduled to participate in this tournament, have suddenly withdrawn. Nakano's pre-existing injury is not progressing well, and Hayashishita's fractured left thumb resulted in the change of matches. The first match was originally a singles match between Nakano and Reo Onozaki, but it has been changed to a singles match between Onozaki and Sumire Natsu. Onozaki's opponent in this one-on-one match has changed, but in any case, she will be desperate to get her first victory, as her junior, Saya Iida, beat her to it. It was Natsu who pinned Iida in the battle royal at Korakuen Hall on March 28th. So, she will have no choice but to be conscious of Natsu. We can expect Onozaki to put all her strength into this match
Onozaki repeatedly offers to shake hands, but Natsu refuses, saying, "No." Onozaki extends his hand again, but is rejected, so he attacks Natsu and the match begins. However, Natsu quickly turns the tables, cornering Onozaki against the ropes and crushing him. Natsu holds Onozaki against the ropes and delivers a big boot to his back. He tries to cover Onozaki with one leg, but Onozaki kicks out. Natsu then applies a figure-four neck lock, reverses it, and slams Onozaki's forehead into the mat. She returns to normal and tightens the choke even more. When Onozaki escapes to the ropes, Natsu stomps on his face. Onozaki shouts, "Don't mess with me!" and delivers a series of elbows. Natsu slams Onozaki into the corner and delivers a Bronco Buster. Onozaki delivers a series of elbows followed by a neckbreaker. Natsu kicks out, and Onozaki lands a running elbow attack. Onozaki jumps at Natsu, but Natsu stops him and sets him up in the corner, then delivers a double knee drop onto him. Natsu delivers a big boot from behind, but Onozaki's shoulder rises. Five minutes have passed. As Natsu went for a body slam, Onozaki countered with a small package. Onozaki attempted a series of roll-ups, but Natsu landed a big boot. Onozaki dodged the second one and rolled Natsu up. Natsu kicked out at the last moment, and Onozaki followed up with a series of stomps and a charge. Natsu then struck her with a whip and delivered a neckbreaker drop. Natsu pulled Onozaki up and applied a brainbuster hold. Onozaki couldn't kick out, and Natsu secured the three-count

The Hanan sisters are divided into opposing teams for the match. The eldest sister, Hanan, teams up with Artist of Stardom champion Saki Kashima, while Rina and Hina team up as sisters
Both teams shake hands cleanly, but Rinami calls out, "Come on out, Hanami!" Kashima sends her out, and the sisters focus their attack on her older sister. Kashima tries to intervene but is kicked down. The sisters grab both of Hanami's arms and apply armbars together. After taking Kashima down, Rinami delivers a series of dropkicks to Hanami followed by a camel clutch. Hinami delivers a series of dropkicks to Hanami. In the meantime, Rinami throws Kashima out of the ring. Hanami retaliates with a series of tomoe nage. Kashima tags in and charges forward but is caught by the sisters. Nevertheless, Kashima delivers a face crusher to both of them. She throws Rinami on top of Hinami and delivers a face crusher to both of them. Kashima puts Hinami in an armbar. Hanami tries to stop Rinami from interfering, but Hinami manages to reach the ropes on her own. Hinami charges in with a series of elbows, but Kashima stands firm. When Kashima applied a triangle choke, Hanan prevented Rinami from breaking it up. Kashima handed the match over to Hanan and tagged in. Hanan body slammed Hinan. Hinan delivered a series of elbows followed by a hip throw. Rinami kicked Kashima down, and the sisters delivered a brainbuster. They then double-teamed Hanan to the mat.

JAN, consisting of Jungle Kyona, Tora Natsuko, and Iida Saya, will face off against Oedo Tai's Kagetsu, Hazuki, and Andras Miyagi in an all-out battle. In the opening match at Korakuen Hall on March 28, Iida pinned Natsuko to claim her first victory on her own. Given that it was Oedo Tai's Natsuko who suffered this unexpected defeat, it's quite possible that Kagetsu and the others will be looking to retaliate against Iida. The question is how Kyona and Natsuko, former Goddesses of Stardom champions, will be able to stop them. This will be a six-person tag team match where teamwork will be put to the test
In JAN, Iida volunteered to start the match, and Kagetsu from Oedo Tai stepped forward. They locked up and Iida tried to push Kagetsu, but Kagetsu stood her ground. Kagetsu drove Iida to the ropes and they broke, but Iida immediately attacked. Kagetsu fended off a series of dropkicks from Iida. Kagetsu threw Iida into the ropes, but Natsuko stopped her and Kyoka delivered a dropkick to Kagetsu. JAN crushed Kagetsu with a body press from Natsuko, a body press from Kyoka, and a body press with Kyoka carrying both of them on her back. However, Oedo Tai attacked and the fight spilled outside the ring. Kagetsu left the match to Andras and Hazuki and struck a relaxed pose in the ring. Hazuki brought Iida back into the ring and Kagetsu delivered a body slam. Hazuki delivered a foot stomp over the ropes. Hazuki then gave Iida a face wash. Andras gave Iida a body slam with a long hang time. Kagetsu and Andras delivered a combined elbow. When Iida countered, Kagetsu applied a reverse Boston crab. Iida escaped and was hit with a series of elbows. Kagetsu absorbed the blows and knocked her down with a standing kick. Iida dodged Kagetsu's lariat and delivered a dropkick. Natsuko tagged in and delivered shoulder tackles to Kagetsu and Hazuki. She threw Hazuki at Kagetsu and then hit them both with a series of spears. Natsuko then body slammed Kagetsu onto Hazuki and went for a body press, but it was dodged. However, Natsuko dodged a clothesline and hit them both with a spear. Natsuko delivered a series of elbows, and Kagetsu collapsed. Natsuko grabbed the hold, but Andras interfered, and Kagetsu attacked her face. However, Natsuko delivered a spinebuster. Hazuki and Kyona exchanged elbows. Hazuki hit Kyona with a swan dive missile kick. Andras took Kyona down with a headbang. She dodged a lariat, slammed her into the corner, and delivered a headbutt and a bulldog headlock. As Kyoka gets up, Andras delivers a shoulder tackle. Kyoka and Andras exchange shoulder tackles, with Kyoka gaining the upper hand. Kyoka and Natsuko launch a corner attack followed by a double brainbuster on Andras. They then attempt a dive from the corner, but Andras dodges Natsuko and hits Kyoka with a deadly drive and a dropkick. Ten minutes have passed. Kyoka counters with an elbow followed by a lariat. Iida enters and delivers a flurry of dropkicks to Andras. She slams Andras down with a body slam, but Andras raises her shoulder. Andras dodges a corner dropkick, and the Oedo Tai team launch a corner attack, with Hazuki delivering a codebreaker. Kyoka delivers a lariat, and Natsuko hits Andras with a spear. Iida attempts a roll-up, but it's broken up. Kyoka and Natsuko combine for a corner attack followed by a diving body press. They eliminate Kagetsu and Hazuki and leave the match to Iida. However, Andras delivers an elbow followed by a back drop. When Iida countered, Andras lifted him up. Iida reversed and rolled him up. When Andras reversed, he charged forward but was hit with a big boot. Andras sent Iida flying with a missile kick. He put his full weight on Iida and pinned him, leaving him unable to move, and Andras secured the pinfall

The semi-final is a tag team match between Viper & Bea Priestley and Goja Kong & Rebel Kel. It promises to be an exciting battle between foreign wrestlers. In particular, the giant showdown between Viper and Goja, whose one-on-one match in Osaka on March 21 ended inconclusively, will be in its second round in this match. As it will be a grudge match, it is likely to be even more chaotic. The clash of heights between Priestley and Kel is also something you only see in a match between foreign wrestlers. It is a rare combination that you don't usually see, making it a valuable match
Viper nominated Goja to face off. As the bell rang, they locked up and grappled, testing their strength. After a break, they locked up again.

Originally, a six-person tag team match was scheduled between Mayu Iwatani, Arisa Hoshiki, and Starlight Kid against Momo Watanabe, Utami Hayashishita, and AZM, but Utami's absence led to a change in the main card. Utami had successfully defended her SWA World Championship by defeating Rebel Kel at Korakuen Hall on March 28, but she fought while protecting an injury sustained in Osaka on March 21. However, it was eventually discovered that she had fractured her left thumb, resulting in a doctor's order to stop. This will be her first time missing a match due to injury since her debut. Therefore, Konami will join the QQ side, and the trio of Momo, Konami, and AZM will face the STARS team. Utami's absence is a blow, but QQ's unity is on par with STARS. A thrilling battle is expected, with either team having a chance to win. Which team will claim victory in the end?
Team leaders Momo and Iwatani immediately started the match. Momo extended her hand, and they engaged in a test of strength with a four-legged grip. When Momo grabbed Iwatani's arm, Iwatani spun around and grabbed it back. In the struggle for the arm, Iwatani used the ropes to turn the tables. When Momo went for a headlock, Iwatani countered with a head scissors
ーHoshiki dodges Momo's high kick but takes a running middle kick. Hoshiki throws Momo into the corner and Momo counters with a missile kick. Momo lands a series of dropkicks in the corner. Hoshiki retaliates and goes for an elbow. Momo fights back and they exchange middle kicks. Hoshiki throws a double knee drop but only gets a two count. Iwatani sends Momo reeling with a spinning kick, a suplex, and a dropkick. Konami and AZM interfere but Iwatani whips them both with an arm whip. Iwatani and Hoshiki exchange kicks but are eliminated. Konami lands a series of kicks on Iwatani. She stops Iwatani's charge and applies an armbar. When Iwatani escapes, Konami applies an armbar. AZM and Momo grab Hoshiki and QQ exchange submission holds. Konami applies an armbar on Iwatani. Iwatani escapes but Konami lands a kick followed by a fisherman suplex. Iwatani lands a German suplex followed by a high kick. Kid and AZM exchanged blows. After an exchange of elbows, AZM delivered a running dropkick, which Kid retaliated against. Kid countered with a dropkick and a neck screw. Kid dashed forward, but Konami cut him off, and with an assist from Momo, AZM pinned him down. AZM kicked out, and Momo and Konami delivered dropkicks. AZM went for a diving foot stomp from the corner. It looked like he was finished, but Iwatani and Hoshiki made an emergency stop. Momo and Konami separated STARS. AZM dove to the outside from the corner, but hit his own teammate. Iwatani delivered a diving body attack to AZM, who had returned to the ring, and after a kick from Hoshiki, Kid delivered a spinning diving body press. Kid kicked out and jumped, but AZM countered, spun around, and rolled him up. The referee counted to three, giving QQ the victory
AZM: "Queens Quest has won! This was easy. QQ has been undefeated recently. We want to keep this momentum going. I'm worried because there's that unpleasant draft meeting in April, but I believe in our leader Momo-chan and we want to come back with this team. AZM got a three-pointer off Kid today, so can I wrap things up? Believe in the present? Shine tomorrow? You decide who to believe in, Bow down to the queens!"
QQ's comments
AZM: "Yes, QQ won the main event at the Niigata tournament! Recently, all of QQ's members have been on a winning streak, so we'd like to keep it going, but there's a draft meeting in April, so if possible, we'd like to stick with this lineup. I'll leave it to Momo-chan, our strategist and leader, and I trust her, I trust Momo-chan, and we'd like to come back to Niigata with this lineup. Thank you very much."
