The opening match of the Shin-Kiba tournament was a three-way battle between Saki Kashima, Rina, and Hinami. Would Rina and Hinami team up to challenge Kashima, or would one of them try to win Kashima over to their side? Rina and Hinami offered to team up with Kashima, but Rina and Hinami countered with well-coordinated moves against Kashima. Partway through, it became a singles match between Rina and Hinami, but in the end, Kashima caught Rina in a reverse Boston crab and won by submission

Hana also attacked Iida. Hana and Goja delivered a double Campana. Iida fought back and managed to induce a friendly fire incident by tagging in Kyoko, but Iida was hit with a brainbuster from Hana followed by a flying sausage from Goja for the finish

The third match was a six-person tag team match between STARS and JAN. Zaiya and Natsuko, making their first visit to Japan in a while, started the match at a steady pace. Iwatani and Yoneyama launched a speedy attack, followed by a coordinated attack from JAN. STARS also showed some teamwork. Yoneyama was held captive for a while. JAN managed to mount a comeback towards the end, but STARS maintained control of the match. Tam and Iwatani worked together, and Zaiya delivered a superplex attack, finishing off Onozaki with a European clutch
Post-match microphone
Zaiya: "I have a six-pack. On the 28th, at Korakuen Hall, I'm the High Speed Champion. Hazuki, please give me the belt. Thank you."
Tora: "Mayu Iwatani. No, Mayu-san. I also want to challenge for the WOH belt. Before that, I know Mayu-san has a title defense next week, but I believe that Mayu-san will defend it, so I'm declaring my challenge now."
Iwatani: "Good evening everyone in Shin-Kiba. Thank you for coming again today. So, even if someone says they want to challenge for this belt, I'm going overseas next week. To Vegas. I am. Oh, I made a mistake, Los Angeles. Oh, no, Las Vegas. I am the... Um, I'm going next week. So even if someone says they want to challenge for it here, if I go over there and don't beat Kelly, I'll end up leaving this belt behind. So I can't say I'll accept the challenge here. If, hypothetically, Mayu loses and Kelly takes this belt... If I become champion, Natsuko, please go to Las Vegas or somewhere and take it back from Kelly. But I'll be going overseas as champion, carrying the weight of Stardom and Japan on my shoulders. That's fine. No, I can't really say it's fine. I can't really say it's fine, but I can feel your strong support for the belt, so thank you. I'll do my best. If, no, I will definitely defend this belt and bring it back to Japan, then a title defense match, yeah, that's fine. I'll defend it, so wait for me. Let's meet again in about two weeks. Thank you. See you. Zaiya, welcome to back. Welcome back. OK. Thank you. Bye."

The semi-final was a six-woman tag team match between QQ (Bee, Utami, and Momo) and Oedo Tai (Andras, Natsu, and Kagetsu). The match started with a surprise attack by Oedo Tai and took the fight outside the ring. Back in the ring, Utami had Natsu in her grasp while Bee and Momo kicked her. QQ gained the upper hand by having Natsu in their grasp, but Natsu took advantage of the referee's blind spot and attacked with a whip. Miyagi hit Momo and Utami with missile kicks. Kagetsu then attacked Utami with a corner attack
Utami catches Kagetsu's swan dive and throws her with a shoulder throw. Bee counters Kagetsu's corner attack from below. The Oedo Tai team works together. QQ also attacks in coordination. Natsu sprays water on Momo, Kagetsu attacks with the Oedo Tai board, and Miyagi lands a piledriver for the 3 count
Post-match microphone
Miyagi: "Hey, Watanabe Momo. Let me challenge for that white belt of yours."
Momo: "Hey, Cassandra? Or was it Andras? I didn't even know that, so I wasn't even on your radar. What the hell is this? You came out of nowhere, but that's fine. It's been a while since I lost, and it's really fired me up. I'll accept this challenge for the white belt. You better be prepared tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it."
(Goja appears)
Goja: "Hold on a second, little one. Let Kagetsu challenge for the title."
Kagetsu: "I've been studying English lately, but I didn't expect Spanish to come up. I felt like you were glancing at me ever since we met. I assume you've come here to challenge for the belt, and usually in situations like this it's expected that you accept, but honestly, I don't want to. Can I refuse? Oh no. Look at the president's face. I think President Rossy probably did some serious negotiating to get you to come to Japan, so that look on his face probably means, 'Come on, do it.' Okay, okay. Well, I was just feeling like the opponent for the red belt was a little underwhelming, so why don't we raise the value of the red belt even further here? Is it Goja? Let's do it."
(Kagetsu tries to shake hands but is kicked. Goja pushes Kagetsu away. Everyone leaves the ring.)
Post-match comments
Kagetsu: "Ah, I was so surprised. What was that at the end? I had a bad feeling about it. More than my own feelings, I was thinking about An-chan trying out white."
(Andras points to the shape of a star with his fingers)
Kagetsu: "That's a good thing. Do you understand what I just said? Those were An-chan's words. Feel it in your heart. Or rather, we'll come and support you, Natsu-san."
Natsu: "Okay, I understand."
Kagetsu: "Thank you for your support. The biggest takeaway from today's match is that An-chan managed to beat Watanabe Momo, whom we've rarely seen lose to before. Listen up. We're steadily moving towards taking all the belts. When we say 'taking all,' we don't mean it in such a lighthearted way as QQ does. Right, Natsu-san?"
Natsu: "That's right. The number of tough situations we've been through is different. QQ's greenhouse... I stumbled over my words. You stumble over your words. When you've been through tough situations."
Kagetsu: "That's right."
(So, accepting Goja's challenge is your final answer?)
Kagetsu: "That's my final answer. The president's eyes were scary."
Natsu: "There are various diplomatic issues, you see."
Kagetsu: "Right. There are a lot of things to consider. But physically, she's even more impressive than Viper. The fact that such a strong, globally renowned wrestler is interested in this belt shows that World of Stardom is truly known worldwide, and I think she's a good opponent to further enhance its value. I'll use her as a stepping stone."

*Hazuki, the 16th champion, successfully defended her title for the third time. The other contestant was Konami
The main event was a high-speed three-way match between champion Hazuki and QQ's AZM and Konami. AZM and Hazuki glared at each other, and Konami entered the ring but was pushed away by Hazuki. AZM threw Hazuki into the ropes, and Konami also entered the ring. Offense and defense were constantly switching back and forth. Hazuki delivered a double face wash to AZM and Konami. She ran to the ropes but was dodged, and Konami landed a corner attack, but AZM immediately hit her with a dropkick from behind. Konami kicked Hazuki. She added more kicks to Hazuki and AZM, followed by a low dropkick. Konami locked in AZM's leg. Hazuki landed a corner attack followed by a Codebreaker. AZM hit Konami with a missile kick. AZM dodged Hazuki's double kick and attempted an armlock after a La Mistica, but Konami broke it up. AZM knocked Konami out of the ring and attempted a triangle jump, but Konami broke it up. Hazuki then kicked Konami, sending her out of the ring as well. AZM rolled her up for a two count. Hazuki hit AZM, who was running to the ropes, with a double kick. Hazuki attempted a Michinoku Driver II followed by an Atomic Bombs Away, but Konami broke up the pin. Konami hit a German suplex and a buzzsaw kick, then attempted a Triangle Lancer, but it was dodged, and Hazuki slammed her down with a Michinoku Driver II. AZM managed to pin both of them, but they kicked out. Hazuki hit Konami with a brainbuster. Finally, the Hazuki Stral was locked in for a successful title defense
Post-match microphone
Hazuki: "I've successfully defended High Speed for the third time. Well, it was only natural that I would win. I wonder if AZM and Konami understand why I made it a 3-way match. I made it a 3-way match because I knew I could win against those two. They need to use their brains more. But if they want High Speed, I'll continue to protect it properly from now on, so they should come and try to take it. Defending it means the challenger is..."
(Zaiya enters the ring)
Zaiya: "Let's do our best in the high-speed title match at Korakuen Hall on the 28th."
Hazuki: "Let's do our best. That's a really condescending attitude, isn't it? Zaiya, you have a six-pack, right? I know you've been working out. I'll accept the challenge. I look forward to it. Hazuki, the next challenger has been decided. An-chan has also been chosen to challenge for the belt, and the Prime Minister has also found an opponent for his title defense. Oh, Natsu-san... Is anything decided for Natsu-san? Natsu-san, is anything decided for you? Natsu-san, is there a belt challenge you're scheduled to face?"
(In the summer, I try to cover it up by whistling.)
Natsu: "We should do it. Right? Hey, Utami Hayashishita, come out. Hey, where are you, come out, you bastard. Where are you, come out. Hey hey hey hey hey, Utami Hayashishita, you bastard. Hey Hayashishita, you bastard. Hey hey hey, I heard your ring announcement earlier and it was way too long. How many of you do you have, you idiot? Hey hey hey hey, how many of you do you have, you bastard? Give me one. Give me one. Hey, Future, the one in front of you, let me challenge you. Let Future challenge me, you bastard. Lend me another microphone, lend me another microphone, hey. Let me challenge you, Future."
Shimi: "Hey, you old hag, you talk about Future. You're not qualified. You can't do it."
Natsu: "Well, then, um... sorry, sorry. I'm not good at English so I don't understand, but I don't care about the overseas belts, just give me one of them. Give me one of them."
Shimi: "I can't help you if you ask me. You need to ask the organization. I can't make the decision myself."
(Summer whistles)
Natsu: "Okay, I get it. Hey, hey, that's Goddess, it's Goddess. Give me a Goddess. It's fine, even if I lose one Goddess, I still have three. Give it to me."
Utami: "Goddess is a tag team belt, so do you have a partner?"
Natsu: "Yes, they are here. They are here."
Shimi: "Bring your partner here."
Natsu: "Fine, I get it, I'll bring him. Hey, Andy. Andy. Andy, come here. Come here for now. Hold out your hand, your hand. (Natsu grabs Andras's hand) Partner. I have one too, I have a partner too. Andras Miyagi and Olympus Sumire will take on the challenge."
Shimi: "Olympus? I don't really know what that is, but what should we do with these two, Momo?"
Momo: "Two monsters"
Yamaguchi: "It's decided, meow. If things continue like this, Natsu won't get her reward. We have to let her try something. So Natsu will get her reward."
Momo: "I feel kind of sorry for them, so I guess it's okay."
Summer: "Go home."
(QQ leaves the stage)
Hazuki: "Natsu-san... your microphone is a little long. Could you be a little more careful? Hazuki won today, so can Oedo Tai wrap things up?"
Yamaguchi: "Thanks again today for supporting the Oedo Tai led by Nao-tan, Monica."
Hazuki: "Let's have the Oedo Tai wrap things up."
Natsu: "I believe in the Oedo Tai."
Andras: "Let's just do our best tomorrow too."
Yamaguchi: "We Are"
Oedo Tai "Oedo Tai"
Post-match comments
Hazuki: "I successfully defended the title for the third time. I'm sure you all expected that. Whether those two are coming to take all of QQ's titles, or whether they're coming because they personally want High Speed, it doesn't matter to me. Right now, what's important is to raise the value of the belt. That's one of the reasons why it was a 3-way match. I think the people who watched the match, Konami and AZM who were in it, can think about why it was a 3-way match. I think the value of High Speed is gradually increasing, but I still think it's not good enough. There are no wrestlers who want High Speed at all, and the only one who stepped forward was Zaiya, who came to Japan for the first time in a long time. If there aren't more wrestlers who really want it, I think Stardom is doomed. It's not revitalized at all. AZM lost at Korakuen Hall the other day and immediately challenged me, and I don't know what has changed, but it's great that she challenged me, it's a good thing. Whether that continues or not is up to her, and if she really wants to take it, she should take the belt from Hazuki soon."
(The match lasted just over five minutes.)
Hazuki: "It's a high-speed match, so if I drag it out, it won't look any different from the other belts. They say it's a 30-minute, one-fall match, but the rule I created is that it's under 10 minutes. Well, just because it's under 10 minutes doesn't mean I intend to drag it out for 9 or 8 minutes. In future high-speed matches, even if I'm in the main event, I'll finish it within 10 minutes."
