| Kagetsu |
at 10 minutes and 00 seconds |
Nakano Tam |
*Both players are disqualified due to a draw as time ran out
The match between Tam Nakano and Kagetsu is arguably one of the most anticipated "grudge matches" of the first round. It was Nakano who prevented Kagetsu from reaching the finals in an official match at last year's 5☆STAR GP. However, that victory was a fluke due to interference from Hana Kimura, and neither Nakano nor Kagetsu were satisfied with the result. The two originally belonged to the same unit, and even after Nakano joined STARS, Kagetsu questioned whether she would have been better off in Oedo Tai. In the recent draft, both remained with their respective units. As such, this match also features a battle between STARS and Oedo Tai. Will Kagetsu, the red belt holder, advance through the first round as expected, or will Nakano inflict a true bitter defeat on the reigning champion? This is an important match in terms of predicting the outcome of the tournament
Kagetsu extends her hand for a handshake, and Nakano approaches cautiously in return. They move from a lock-up to the ground, with Kagetsu grabbing Nakano's arm and neck. Nakano counters and gets on top, grabbing Kagetsu's neck, but Kagetsu reaches the ropes. Nakano goes for Kagetsu's legs, but Kagetsu applies a neck lock. Kagetsu applies a kneebar, but Nakano reaches the ropes. Kagetsu stomps on Nakano's knee repeatedly. She corners Nakano and delivers a middle kick.

Nakano does a cartwheel knee drop. Kagetsu counters, and Nakano does a back drop. Kagetsu dodges, and they exchange kicks. Kagetsu attempts a brainbuster, but Nakano counters with a neck lock. Kagetsu lifts Nakano up and delivers a brainbuster. Kagetsu charges in the corner but takes a kick. Nakano applies a dragon sleeper from the corner. Nakano landed a Destiny Hammer and a knee attack. Kagetsu grabbed her, but Nakano got behind her and applied a sleeper hold. Kagetsu grabbed her knee and tightened the hold. Nakano managed to escape. Kagetsu went to the corner with an Ebisu Drop. Nakano also climbed up and delivered a superplex. Kagetsu took the hit and jumped in, but Nakano hit a Death Valley Driver. Three minutes remaining. Both were down. Nakano threw an elbow, and Kagetsu returned the favor. Nakano unleashed a flurry of elbows and charged forward. Kagetsu grabbed her and attempted a choke slam. Nakano dodged, but Kagetsu landed a high kick. Kagetsu delivered an Ebisu Drop and declared she was going to do an S-type move to Phi and went to the corner. Nakano dodged the Oedo Coaster and delivered a spin kick. Nakano hit a Tiger Suplex, but it was only a two count. 30 seconds remaining. Nakano locked in a Dragon Sleeper and took the match to the ground. The bell rang to end the match, and both were disqualified

Jungle Scream |
With JAN's dissolution, matches between JAN members have also ceased. Jungle Kyona has been incorporated into Hana Kimura's unit, and Tora Natsuko has been approached by Oedo Tai. Up until now, they had fought each other in singles matches over the future of JAN, but from now on they will be competing against each other as members of different units. Both have seen their circumstances change drastically. Will it be Kyona or Natsuko who breaks away?
Both charged forward just before the bell. They exchanged elbows and shoulder tackles. Natsuko took down Kyoko with a spear at close range. Natsuko did a hair whip and stomped on her face. She then rubbed her face against the top rope. Once she had Kyoko pinned to the ropes, Natsuko poured water on her head with the apron. She brought her back into the ring and went for the cover, but it was only a two count. Natsuko taunted, "You're pathetic. What's wrong with you?" Kyoko threw an elbow, and Natsuko retaliated. Kyoko went after Natsuko's barrage of punches. Cornered, Natsuko took a slap. Kyoko did a series of lariats, but Natsuko countered. Kyoko did a series of elbows and a running lariat. She lifted Kyoko onto the corner and tried for a muscle buster, but it missed. Natsuko dodged a diving body press and hit a knee, then a frog splash.

Watanabe Momo |
Originally, this was supposed to be a Queen's Quest internship showdown, but the recent draft meeting caused Watanabe Momo and Konami to part ways. While the Cinderella Tournament is primarily an individual competition, the draft results could certainly have an impact. Now in different units, both may see this as an opportunity for a fierce battle. Momo is aiming for her second consecutive victory, while Konami is vying for her first. A win for Momo would likely lead to a smooth progression, while a win for Konami could give her a significant boost in momentum. Who will emerge victorious in this fierce one-on-one battle?
Momoko goes for a dropkick, but Konami dodges it and taunts her with "Fuck you, Watanabe Momoko!" Momoko replies "Don't mess with me!" and unleashes a flurry of kicks. Konami goes for a middle kick, and Momoko retaliates. After an exchange of middle kicks, Konami leaps in and goes for an armbar. Momoko escapes, and Konami lands a sliding kick. Konami attempts a fisherman suplex, but only gets a two count. Konami lands a series of middle kicks, which Momoko absorbs and gets back up. Konami takes Momoko down and throws her into the corner for a knee attack. Momoko dodges and lands a series of dropkicks in the corner. Momoko attempts a Soumatou, but Konami kicks it out.

Then, Toni Storm presented him with the trophy and tiara once again
Hoshiki: "Hello everyone! I won the Cinderella Tournament! It's been five months since my return, I think. At first I was wondering if I could do it in the five months, but as I practiced day by day, I gradually gained confidence, and at first I was only participating irregularly, just in sporadic appearances, but I made up my mind to dedicate myself to the Cinderella Tournament, and from May I decided to participate full-time. Tam-chan and others who practice with me have also been practicing with me. My image is orange or yellow, right? The reason I chose blue is because blue has meaning, like a strong will to achieve a goal, and things like that. Blue is like the sea, the sky, my potential, and an expression of that will, so I chose this dress earlier. Speaking of blue, do you know who the person in the blue costume is? Mayu-chan is in light blue. The one in the blue costume, holding the belt right now. Momo! ... I can't remember."
Momo enters the ring
Momo: "Okay, first of all, congratulations, Cinderella. What are your thoughts? I've already seen the view of Cinderella before you have, so I don't need to say anything. The blue costume is hard to understand. You should have said white belt. Is this a challenge?"
Hoshiki: "Yes, please."
Momo: "Do you remember, you, about my comeback match? Before my comeback match, on the day you appeared, you called me a fake kickboxer, didn't you?"
Hoshiki: "I said it."
Momo: "I'm still holding a grudge. I've always wanted to do a singles match, so I'm looking forward to it."
Momo leaves the stage
Hoshiki: "I won today, so can I wrap things up now? Well then, STARS members, shall we wrap things up together?"
STARS enters the ring
Hoshiki: "(Zero people correctly predicted the winner) Oh well, I don't care about that (laughs). Believe in the present, shine tomorrow, We are STARDOM!"
Comment from Hoshiki
"I'm so happy to have won. I got zero votes in the poll to see who would win (laughs). But ever since my comeback, I've been told that nobody's interested in me, and I knew that myself, so I decided to put everything into this Cinderella Tournament, and I've been training hard recently. But all the opponents I faced were really strong, and there were times when I didn't think I could win. Or rather, there were times when I didn't think they would counter me, and times when I thought I could counter them. Sorry for being so incoherent. But I'm really grateful to all the opponents who fought against me this time. Thank you very much. This isn't the finish line, so it's a cliché, but I'll use this as a starting point and challenge for the white belt that Momoko Watanabe holds."
—Was it because of peaches that you kept being told that they weren't interested?
"Yes, like Momo-chan and Utami-chan. I know a lot of people think that way, and I can feel it, so it can't be helped. Yes, a few months ago, I challenged for the Goddess title with Mayu-chan, and we might have made an impression, but we didn't get the results we wanted, and I was really frustrated. I feel that I need to not only get stronger while Mayu-chan is out of action, but also get results. I would be happy if I could take the belt from Momo-chan and then really do something from there."
—I think red was also an option
"Yes, I have a set of stages in mind. I want to try white first, wear the white belt, and then try red. So, it's white."
