Iida Saya |
Iida extends his hand for a handshake, but Natsuko ignores him as she leans against the corner, and the bell rings
Even when Iida tried to close the distance, Natsuko didn't budge. When Iida tried to stubbornly stay put, Natsuko tripped her, knocking her down, then grabbed her hair and pulled her up, slamming Iida's head against the corner and rubbing her face against the ropes in a series of foul attacks, all while taunting the audience, "Don't you guys like Iida? You're not making any noise at all!"
Responding to the crowd's shouts of "Fight back!", Natsuko replies, "He can't fight back. Try and fight back!", stomping on his face repeatedly before grabbing his hair and applying a camel clutch. She then taunts Iida with a front kick and a series of stomps, shouting, "Try and fight back, Iida!" Iida tries to retaliate with elbows, but is sent flying by a single front kick from Natsuko
Natsuko tries to throw Iida into the corner, but Iida turns around and delivers two consecutive dropkicks, a regular dropkick, and then five quick dropkicks in a row. She then runs to the ropes and delivers a jumping elbow in a relentless barrage of attacks. When Natsuko tries to retaliate with an elbow, Natsuko rolls her up with a schoolboy pin, and as Natsuko kicks out, Natsuko gets on top and delivers a flurry of mounted elbows for consecutive pins. Natsuko endures this and grabs Iida's throat from below and chokes her, and when Iida flinches she delivers a series of elbows in the corner. She then goes for a running elbow, but Iida catches her and delivers a backslide, followed by a series of roll-ups with Iidabashi, but all are only for a two. Iida runs to the ropes, but Natsuko counters with a knee lift. Iida tries to hold on with a low dropkick, but Natsuko delivers two spears followed by a kamikaze. Iida showed great determination and managed to lift her shoulder, but in the end, Natsuko's frog splash resulted in a count of three

Reo Onozaki |
After both wrestlers were introduced, Andras ambushed Onozaki during the referee check, and the bell rang amidst a brawl outside the ring
Andras slammed Onozaki onto the apron before returning him to the ring, then slammed his head into the corner before scratching his face. Onozaki shouted "Don't mess with me!" and unleashed a flurry of elbows, but Andras silenced him with a single knuckle strike. As the referee glared angrily, Andras landed more knuckle strikes, then faked a neck throw and pin attempt before switching to a chokehold. When the referee stopped him, Andras slapped Onozaki in the face, then went for a neck throw and a sleeper hold. Onozaki managed to reach the ropes, but Andras wouldn't let go until the count reached four, before delivering a soccer ball kick as they separated
Onozaki, kneeling, pushed with his elbows, and when Andras spread his arms to receive the blows, Onozaki followed up with a series of elbows and a dropkick. However, Andras dodged it and stomped on him. Still, Onozaki pushed Andras away and delivered two running back elbows before attempting a body slam, but Andras poked him in the eye. Andras ran to the ropes, but Onozaki took him down with a crab hold, grabbed his leg, and went straight into a reverse figure-four leglock. Andras groaned but managed to crawl to the ropes for a break
Onozaki slammed a low crossbody into Andras, who was sitting with his back against the ropes, then ran to the ropes for a running back elbow. He then greedily went for a pin with a schoolboy, but all attempts resulted in a two count. Onozaki ran to the ropes again, but Andras used the referee as a shield, causing Onozaki to flinch. Andras threw the referee aside and delivered a high kick. He then used his weight to crush the fallen Onozaki and applied a face lock, forcing Onozaki to reluctantly give up

In this match where the old and new champions of red face off, Kagetsu approaches Bea right in front of her face and glares at her during the wrestler introductions
The match started with Kagetsu and Momo, and as soon as the gong sounded, they engaged in a solid exchange of attacks and defenses, starting with a four-handed grip, then moving to the ground to grapple for neck locks and leg locks. Kagetsu gained the upper hand, but Momo managed to take her down with a headlock, bringing the match to a close contest. A tense silence enveloped the venue for a moment, when suddenly Natsu joined in, and the two attacked Momo together
Natsu pulls out a whip, but the referee gets furious and confiscates it. While the referee puts away the whip, Natsu secretly takes out a spare whip she had hidden in her costume and whips Momo's buttocks repeatedly. When the referee looks back, she says, "I didn't do anything!" and tries to do a Bronco Buster, but Momo counters with a dropkick and tags in Bee
Bee dodges Natsu's elbow, runs, and jumps for a neckbreaker. Natsu retaliates with an elbow, but Bee grabs Natsu's arm and applies a modified face lock. Kagetsu breaks up the hold, and Bee runs to the ropes, but Natsu counters with a running neckbreaker drop and tags in Kagetsu
Kagetsu hit Bee with a series of middle kicks and then ran to the corner shouting, "I'm going to hit you!" Bee dodged it and chased after her, attempting a swan dive attack, but Kagetsu avoided it and grappled with Bee, slamming her into the corner with a spinebuster. Kagetsu ran again, attempting to follow up, but Momo assisted with a strike from behind, and Bee delivered a PK to the seated Kagetsu. Bee then attempted a back drop, but Kagetsu endured it and delivered a spinning heel kick followed by a high kick. Kagetsu then threw a high kick at the staggering Bee, but Bee dodged it, ran to the ropes, and hit Kagetsu with a V-Trigger before tagging in Momo
Momo climbed onto the corner and delivered a missile kick from behind Kagetsu. Kagetsu was sent flying to her own corner and tagged in Natsu
Natsu attempts a diving crossbody from the top rope onto Momo, but Momo latches on and applies a chicken wing face lock. When Natsu breaks the corner break, Momo delivers a series of dropkicks to Natsu, who has her back to the corner, then rolls her to the center of the ring and hits a Soumatou. When this is countered, Momo throws a high kick, but Natsu dodges it and pushes Momo towards Kagetsu, who assists with poison mist. Kagetsu and Natsu deliver a train attack to Momo, with Natsu hitting a blockbuster hold. When this is countered, Natsu shouts "It's over!" and goes for the Youran, but Bee interferes. Momo stabs Natsu with a B-driver, but as Natsu lifts her shoulder, Momo quickly catches her in a chicken wing face lock and chokes her, forcing Natsu to tap out

In this match, the three Artist of Stardom champions, TCS, faced off against STARS. The bell rang with Kid and Kyoka in the ring, and Kid dodged Kyoka's lock-up and ran in to deliver a strike, but Kyoka caught it, grabbed her arm, and withstood an arm drag with her power, even throwing her back. However, Kid jumped in and delivered a hurricanrana, and the three members of STARS delivered a train attack. Kid then hit Kyoka with a 619, but Kyoka caught it, swung Kid around, and slammed her into Hoshiki and Kashima to get rid of them, before throwing Kid out of the ring. From there, the fight spilled outside the ring, with all of them involved
Having gained the upper hand, the TCS members did everything they could to prevent the three STARS members from entering the ring, but Kid managed to get back in at the count of 19 outside the ring
When Kyoko tagged in Hana, Hana body-slammed Kid and stomped on him for the pin. She then grabbed Kid's mask, but the referee stopped her, and she tagged back in Kyoko
Kyoka lifted Kid into a Canadian backbreaker, jumping and hurting her with small jumps, then rolled her onto the mat for a pinfall, but only got a two count. Kyoka reached for Kid's mask again, but gave up saying, "I can't get it off at all!" and tagged in Konami
Konami throws Kid with a neck throw and reaches for his mask, but Konami is unable to remove it. Seeing this from the corner, Kyoka grumbles to Hana, "Is his face stuck to the mask?"
Konami throws Kid into the ropes, but Kid uses the second rope as a springboard to deliver a boomerang attack followed by a standing moonsault before tagging in Hoshiki
Hoshiki starts with a small wave impaling knee attack followed by a double knee strike, but Hana comes in and focuses her attack on Hoshiki. However, Kashima comes in and sends both of them flying with a double dropkick, then sends Kyoko, who came to help, flying as well, lining up the three TCS members at the ropes, and the three of them simultaneously deliver a piercing low dropkick
Hoshiki runs to the ropes, but Konami trips her and takes her down, then applies a muffler hold. Hoshiki escapes and lands a clean high kick, but Konami stumbles and lands a high kick of her own. Then both of them simultaneously throw high kicks, resulting in a draw, and both tag out
When Hana and Kid faced off, Kashima and Hoshiki joined in, creating a 3-on-1 situation that neutralized Hana's attacks. Kid then followed up with a Fisherman's Suplex Hold and a Lightning Spiral. She then climbed to the corner and delivered a spinning Frog Splash, but only got a two count. Kid then threw Hana into the ropes and went for a Deja Vu-style neck hold, but Konami and Kyoka desperately broke it up. Kid ran to the ropes, but Hana countered with a dropkick. Both women were down on the mat, but Kashima came in and kicked away Kyoka and Konami who were waiting for a tag in the corner, encouraging Kid, and then received the tag from Kid
When Kashima and Hana faced off, Kashima unleashed a series of front high kicks and ran towards the ropes, but Kyoka delivered an elbow to the back of her head from the apron, and Hana slammed her down with a side buster. Hana attempted a brainbuster on Kashima, but Kashima countered with a body scissors hold and took the match to the ground, applying a body scissors front neck lock. Hana nearly lost consciousness, but she managed to lift Kashima up with brute force and deliver a brainbuster. When this was reversed, Hana ran towards the ropes to try and finish the match. Kashima tried to turn the tables with a quick roll-up, but Kyoka broke it up. Then Konami sent Kid and Hoshiki flying with a dropkick, and Kyoka and Hana followed up with lariats on Kid and Hoshiki respectively, creating a 3-on-1 situation for TCS
Kyoka shook Kashima towards Konami, who was waiting and delivered a high kick. Hana and Kyoka followed up with a combined facebuster on the staggering Kashima, and while Kyoka held Kashima down, Hana climbed onto the corner and delivered a missile kick. Hana then held her down tightly and got the count of three

| Hazuki |
DEATH Yama-san |
|
*Hazuki, the 16th champion, successfully defended her title for the 7th time
In her seventh title defense, Hazuki faces the enigmatic and formidable DEATHyama. In a preliminary six-person tag team match held during the daytime event, DEATHyama pinned Hazuki directly, making the outcome of the match unpredictable going into this decisive battle
Before the match, Andras heckled DEATH Yama saying, "Who the hell are you!", to which Hana retorted, "You know him better than anyone," and Andras became furious, saying, "Don't put me in the same category as you!"
As the seconds exchanged verbal sparring, the bell rang, and both fighters ran to the ropes, dodging each other's attacks with quick rope work and engaging in a series of arm drags. However, they then created some distance and made a clean break
Hazuki closed the distance again and locked up with DEATHyama, then threw him into the corner and charged, but DEATHyama dodged it. Hazuki immediately went to the apron and attempted a swan dive attack, but DEATHyama dodged it as well. Hazuki had anticipated DEATHyama's dodge and, upon landing, immediately sent DEATHyama flying towards the ropes and delivered a low dropkick. DEATHyama grabbed his leg and went for a roll-up, but Hazuki reversed the position and went for the pin, resulting in a dizzying exchange of pins where the top and bottom positions were constantly changing, and Hazuki tried to finish it off with a Hazukistral, but it only resulted in a count of 2.9
During the kickout, DEATH Yama created some distance and attempted a lariat, but Hazuki caught it and dragged him to the ground, going for a crossface. However, before he could fully lock it in, DEATH Yama slipped under Hazuki's armpit and reversed the hold, applying a crossface of his own. Hazuki did the same and applied a crossface of his own, creating a heated exchange, but DEATH Yama managed to break the hold by stretching out his leg
Hazuki delivered a face wash to DEATHyama, who had his back against the ropes, sending him flying out of the ring, and then launched a tope suicida. Hazuki returned to the ring shouting "One more!" and flew out again, but DEATHyama pulled out a steel chair from somewhere and attacked him from the air
When DEATH-ZOU returned to the ring, he climbed onto the corner and delivered a missile kick to Hazuki from behind. He followed up with a running knee to the back of the head, stomped on Hazuki's face, and then tried to pull him up for a German suplex, but Hazuki resisted and delivered an elbow smash. Hazuki also ran to the ropes, but DEATH-ZOU countered with a lariat and knocked him down, then went for a German suplex hold. DEATH-ZOU kicked out at two, and DEATH-ZOU jumped onto Hazuki, but Hazuki escaped and immediately grappled with him, rolling him up with a Hazukistral, and seized the momentary opportunity to get the count of three
Hazuki, who won the competition, was presented with a trophy and a winner's prize by Rossy Ogawa
Hazuki: "Ahhh, I'm so tired... How long was today's match? How long? 5 minutes and 33 seconds... I usually finish my opponents in around 4 minutes, but this is an extra minute, so Rossy, make sure you raise my pay by one minute. I don't know if it was DEATH Yama or Yoneyama, but I was happy to have a title match with you... DEATH! (Imitating DEATH Yama's pose in front of DEATH Yama)"
DEATH Yama: "Waaaah! I'm so frustrated!! Waaaahhhhh!!" (Leaving the stage crying)
Hazuki: "Today marks my 7th title defense. High Speed's record for most title defenses is 8, right? I'm just one away from tying them, so I wonder if there's anyone who wants to challenge for my belt?"
(At this point, Kashima appears with an ice pack on the back of her head, and Hazuki hands her the microphone.)
Kashima: "First of all, congratulations on defending your title. Right now, I really want to take back the Artist belt, but I lost both the daytime and nighttime matches, so I think everyone watching is probably thinking, 'Kashima can't do anything without Iwatani and Nakano.'"
Hazuki: "Yes."
Natsu: "I know what you mean."
Kashima: "You don't need to understand! I'm asking for the audience's agreement! I'm not asking you guys! So first, I'm going to bring that high-speed belt back to STARS with my own strength. So please let me challenge you."
Hazuki: "I'm fine with letting you challenge me, but you lost both tournaments today, so there's no way you can beat Hazuki, you idiot. Start over from scratch with that weak body of yours and challenge High Speed. That's all!"
Andras: "So weak, so weak!"
(Hazuki leaves the stage)
Hazuki: "So, since Hazuki won, can Oedo Tai wrap things up? ...Huh? What did you say?"
(Kagetsu whispers to Hazuki)
Hazuki: "'There's an Edion tournament on July 20th, and tickets are on sale now, so please buy them,' Hazuki said? ...You'll all buy them, right?!"
Natsuko: "Your answers are always either YES or YES! Just say 'YES' you idiots! And what about us?! The best and worst! Oedo Squad!!"
<Post-match comments>
Hazuki
"Well, today's title defense was tough. There was a real sense of tension that was different from usual, but the fact that she managed to defend it means that Hazuki is stronger than DEATH Yama, right? Well, today was her seventh title defense. Next time she'll tie the record for most title defenses. ...Tied today? Next? Tied at nine? To tie the record for most title defenses at nine means she'll have to defeat Kashima Saki next, and then the next challenger will have to appear. Well, it seems like the High Speed belt really wants to stay with Hazuki right now, so I think I'll let her continue to defend it and extend the record for most title defenses."
—What are your impressions of the Kashima players who have stepped forward to take on the challenge?
"Hmm... She's weak. No match for her. Really pathetic. ...Only her bad points are coming out. Because even though she lost both the daytime and nighttime matches at the Osaka tournament, she said, 'I want the belt that Hazuki has. I'm aiming for a singles title.' ...How dare she say something so arrogant. You can't crush Hazuki that easily."
