Iida Saya |
In this singles match against Konami, Iida offers to shake hands, but Konami leans against the corner and does not respond
As soon as the gong sounded, Iida delivered a dropkick, pushed Konami into the ropes, and followed up with a series of elbows. However, Konami threw Iida into the ropes and knocked her down with a big boot, then pushed her into the corner and stomped on her face. Konami then delivered a neck throw followed by a soccer ball kick and a stomp, going for the pin. Iida kicked out at the count of one, showing her fighting spirit
Konami tied Iida to the ropes and delivered a dropkick to her back. She then followed up with a neck throw and a surfboard stretch to inflict pain. Iida broke free by putting her foot on the ropes, and Konami tried to pull her up, but Iida countered with an elbow
Konami sent Iida flying with a single elbow and went for a Fisherman's Suplex, but Iida endured and retaliated with a low dropkick followed by another dropkick, then two consecutive body slams. She continued to wear down Konami's stamina with a series of pins, then pushed her into the corner and delivered a flurry of elbows. She then threw Konami into the corner again and delivered two consecutive running dropkicks. She then followed up with a low dropkick to the staggering Konami and went for the Iidabashi, but Konami dodged it and delivered a PK. She then threw a high kick, but Iida avoided it and retaliated with a flurry of elbows from both sides. She raised her arm again, but Konami grabbed Iida's leg and turned it into a Tanaka Leg Bar, and as Iida tried to evade, she changed the hold to an armlock. When this was broken, Konami hit Iida with a sliding kick to the stomach and went for a German Suplex, but Iida unleashed a series of pinning moves including a Samson Clutch, a Backslide, and an Iidabashi. Konami kicked out of all of them at two
Seeing this, Iida ran towards the ropes, but Konami countered with a high kick, then hit Iida, who was stumbling, with a fisherman's suplex hold. When Iida kicked out of that, Konami followed up with a German suplex and a buzzsaw kick to take him down

*The other person is Hazuki
In the chaotic 3-way match involving all three teams, the three glared at each other as the gong sounded, each egging on the crowd before grappling with all four hands. Hazuki and Kid teamed up to deliver a coordinated attack to Kyoka, starting with an arm drag followed by a low dropkick. Kyoka escaped to the outside. Hazuki immediately struck Kid as well, sending him into the ropes, but Hazuki ran up to the corner and leaped in for an arm drag. Kid retaliated with an arm drag of her own, and they exchanged dropkicks
At this point, Kyoko returns to the ring, and Hazuki and Kid throw her into the corner and attempt a joint spear attack. However, Hazuki hits Kid, Kyoko hits Hazuki, and Kid hits Kyoko in a schoolboy pin, one after the other. Hazuki kicks out of this and drives both of them to the ropes, where she gives them a face wash. Kyoko escapes to the outside. Hazuki hits Kid, who remains in the ring, with a senton followed by a camel clutch. She then attempts to rip off his mask
When the referee stopped this, Hazuki released Kid and threw her into the ropes, but Kid retaliated with a dropkick, and Kyoko entered the ring and immediately followed up with a lariat on Hazuki. Kid also dropped a dropkick on Kyoko, sending her flying towards the ropes, and then hit each of them with a 619. Then, declaring "Let's take them both down!", she crushed both of them with a standing moonsault press
Kid then ran towards the ropes, but Kyoko countered with a shoulder tackle, knocking her down and swinging her around with a giant swing. However, Hazuki caught Kyoko off guard with a swan dive missile kick and followed up with a Codebreaker. As Kyoko kicked out, Hazuki went for a crossface, but Kyoko managed to reach the ropes
Hazuki slammed Kyoko with a Michinoku Driver, but Kid immediately jumped in and pinned both of them with a jackknife pin. When they kicked out, Kid threw Hazuki with a Deja Vu and climbed to the corner to hit Kyoko with a spinning body press. When Kyoko kicked out at the count of two, Kid went for the Yoshitanic, but the moment Kid jumped onto Kyoko, Hazuki dropped a dropkick into Kid's back. Hazuki then hit Kyoko with a Hazukistral, but Kid broke it up
Kid runs to the ropes and attempts a crossbody, but Kyoko catches her. Hazuki also jumps in, but Kyoko catches both of them at once and delivers a body slam. She then shows incredible power by applying a reverse Boston crab to both of them. The two desperately reach for the ropes to break the hold
Kyoko hit Hazuki, who was standing near the ropes, with a lariat, spinning her around and sending her tumbling out of the ring. She then climbed onto the corner and delivered a diving body press to Kid, securing the three count

Kashima and Zaiya extend their handshakes, but Shimi and Reo are wary and refuse to accept

Reo hit Kashima with a series of elbows and ran to the ropes, but Kashima countered with a dropkick. Kashima then stomped on Reo repeatedly, saying "Don't underestimate me!", followed by a body slam and a camel clutch. When Reo broke free, Kashima slammed him into his corner and tagged in Zaiya
Zaiya slammed Reo with a brainbuster and then kicked him with a soccer ball. Kashima tagged in

When that was also countered, Utami hit a torture rack bomb, and Reo hit a sliding back elbow and then a crucifix hold, but Zaiya broke it up at the last moment
Kashima and Reo exchanged elbows head-on, with Kashima gaining the upper hand and delivering a Northern Lights Suplex followed by a double-arm facebuster.

There was no handshake between the two teams. When the gong sounded for AZM and Zoe, AZM hyped up the crowd with a shout of "Let's go Takaoka!" and AZM challenged them with a four-handed lock, saying "Come on!" The tall Zoe taunted AZM by raising her hand above his head, out of his reach, and AZM stomped on his foot and shouted "Idiot!" as she attempted a hurricanrana, but Zoe caught it and withstood it, then, together with Momo and Bee, delivered a fluid coordinated foot stomp.

AZM kicks out of this and is hoisted up in a fireman suplex, but AZM counters with a rolling prawn hold, then a neck hold and a side prawn hold, but all result in a 2 count. As AZM charges again, Zoe stabs her with a spear and then grabs her hair to pull her up, but AZM shakes her off and hits a high kick. Both are down and tag out
When it came down to Momo and Hana, Hana charged in with a running big boot. Momo retaliated with a series of middle kicks, resulting in an exchange of big boots and middle kicks.

Before the main event match between STARS and Oedo Tai, bouquets of flowers were presented to both teams as a token of encouragement
As Andras ruffled referee Murayama's hair, the match began with a surprise attack by the Oedo Tai, resulting in a chaotic brawl outside the ring. The fight moved to the audience seats, where everyone ran wild, knocking over chairs along the way
Kagetsu and Iwatani were the first to return to the ring. Kagetsu tied Iwatani to the ropes and, together with Natsuko, humiliated her by grinding her feet into her face. Kagetsu then tagged in Natsuko, taunting Iwatani, "Cheer on her, everyone. Cheer on Mayu Iwatani, okay? She's pitiful, isn't she?"
Natsuko rubbed Iwatani's face against the ropes and delivered a dropkick to the back of her head. She then slammed her down with a body slam and scratched her face while applying a camel clutch. She then tagged in Andras
Andras charged in with a headbang, followed by a running knee strike, a face crusher, and a low dropkick, continuing his combo with agility before applying a chokehold. When the referee called a warning, he tagged in Kagetsu
Kagetsu throws Iwatani into the ropes and sprays her face with poison mist. She also sprays the enraged referee Murayama in the face with poison mist. As referee Murayama cheers Iwatani on, Iwatani lands a series of elbows on Kagetsu, but as Iwatani runs towards the ropes, Natsuko interferes by pulling Iwatani's other leg from below. Natsuko then puts Iwatani in a reverse neck lock and hooks her leg on the second rope, at which point Kagetsu delivers a diving foot stomp. She then tags in Andras
Andras grabbed Iwatani's hair and forced them both to headbang side-by-side, but Iwatani shook him off and ran to the corner for a missile kick. She asked Hoshiki to tag in, but Kagetsu interfered by kicking Hoshiki away with a sliding kick, and Andras delivered a guillotine drop. Andras declared the finish and tried to throw Iwatani into the ropes, but Iwatani hit a hurricanrana followed by a series of low dropkicks. While Tony was kicking away the Oedo Tai members who were trying to interfere with the tag, Iwatani tagged in Hoshiki
Hoshiki and Tony throw Andras into the ropes and tackle him, followed by a double elbow drop. Hoshiki drives Andras into the corner and delivers a running double knee followed by a diving double knee drop. When Kagetsu and Natsuko try to interfere, Hoshiki body slams them onto Andras, stacking all three on top of him, and delivers a simultaneous diving double knee drop to all three. Hoshiki lands a series of left and right middle kicks on Andras, and attempts a finishing high kick, but Andras catches it and lifts him up for a spinning powerbomb. Both wrestlers tag out
When Kagetsu and Iwatani faced off, Iwatani dodged Kagetsu's charge and rolled her up, then delivered a low dropkick as she got up. She then attempted a Northern Lights Suplex, but Kagetsu endured and landed an elbow. This changed Iwatani's attitude, and she started a standing elbow exchange, with both wrestlers slapping each other hard in the center of the ring. Iwatani unleashed a barrage of punches followed by a high kick, but Kagetsu retaliated with a high kick of her own. The exchange became a speedy back-and-forth as both wrestlers dodged and defended against each other's high kicks, but Kagetsu landed a clean high kick and then won with a brainbuster. When this was reversed, the Oedo Tai members scattered the STARS members, and Kagetsu threw Iwatani into the ropes, but Iwatani countered with a Sling Blade. Both wrestlers were down, but Iwatani was the first to tag in Tony
Tony attempts a lariat on Kagetsu, but Kagetsu dodges it, and Natsuko and Andras jump in, launching a train attack with the three members of Oedo Tai. Kagetsu and Andras simultaneously deliver thrust kicks, and Natsuko follows up with a spear. Kagetsu then attempts an Ebisu Drop, but Hoshiki breaks it up
While Natsuko and Andras held their opponents down, Kagetsu attempted another Ebisu Drop followed by an Oedo Coaster, shouting "OK! Finish!", but Hoshiki shook off Andras and stunned Kagetsu with a ground-to-air high kick, allowing Iwatani to hit Kagetsu with a superplex Frankensteiner. Tony then ran in and delivered a lariat. Tony then went for a Strong Zero on Kagetsu, but Andras jumped in with a missile kick and made a spectacular cut, but Hoshiki hit Andras with a high kick, Natsuko hit Hoshiki with a shoulder tackle, and Iwatani hit Natsuko with a high kick, resulting in a chaotic brawl where everyone was down
Natsuko rallied Kagetsu, and after receiving the tag, she delivered three shoulder tackles to Tony followed by a guillotine drop. She then went for the Shouten with a backfist, but Tony landed on her feet, grappled with her, and delivered a German suplex followed by a sliding lariat. When Tony reversed this, she locked Tony's legs in a reverse Indian deathlock and tried to force a tap-out with a modified STF, but Andras broke it up. Natsuko speared Tony and then climbed to the corner for a frog splash. She went for a pin, but Iwatani and Hoshiki broke it up simultaneously. Kagetsu and Andras eliminated Iwatani and Hoshiki and chased them out of the ring
Natsuko hit Tony with a series of elbows and ran to the ropes, but Hoshiki shook off the Oedo Tai and jumped into the ring with a high kick. Iwatani then entered and followed up with a spinning heel kick, and Tony got behind her, and as Iwatani and Hoshiki hit Natsuko with a double middle kick, they delivered a German suplex. The Oedo Tai managed to break it up at the last moment
Tony rushes in with a lariat, but the count is only 2.9. Tony then goes for a Strong Zero on Natsuko, but Natsuko shakes it off, and Andras attacks Tony with a board from the corner, hitting him on the head. With the help of Andras, Natsuko slams Tony down with a Shouten and goes for the pin, but Iwatani and Hoshiki break it up. Kagetsu and Andras try to throw Iwatani into the ropes, but Iwatani jumps onto the ropes and arm whips both of them, sending them flying to the outside. Hoshiki then follows up with a plancha from the corner to the outside
Natsuko landed a series of elbows, but Tony countered with a no-motion headbutt. While Natsuko was down, Iwatani and Hoshiki returned to the ring, and the three of them simultaneously delivered a high kick and a thrust kick. Finally, Tony slammed Natsuko with a Strong Zero to secure the three count
Iwatani: "Good evening, everyone in Takaoka! Good evening! Thank you! This is the fifth time this event has been held in a row this year... (the audience murmurs)... Oh, it's not five times a year! (laughs) We've been able to come for five consecutive years, and this time too it's a full house! Thank you! This is Tony's last tour while he's in Japan, so he has a few words to say!"
Tony: "Arisa, Mayu, I love you! I love Stardom the most! Toni Storm will definitely be back!"
Hoshiki: "It seems this will be Tony's last visit to Japan, so I'm glad that Mayu and I were able to team up and get a victory! Right, everyone in Takaoka! ...So, that's all for now... I'm sorry I'm so bad at using the microphone (laughs) I'll hand it over to Mayu (laughs)."
Iwatani: "Wow! (laughs)...So, since STARS won this time, it would seem like STARS will be closing the show, but this time, since we only get to come here once a year, we'd like to take this opportunity to have all of Stardom close the show! Oedo Tai, TCS, QQ, STARS, all the members!"
Hoshiki: "It seems today is Zaiya's last day, so please give Zaiya a round of applause! Now that everyone has gathered, let's wrap things up together! Everyone, please stand up! When I say 'Believe in the present, shine tomorrow,' please respond with 'We are Stardom!' OK?! Here we go! Believe in the present, shine tomorrow! We are Stardom! Thank you very much!"
<Post-match comments>
Iwatani: "We won!"
Tony: "You are the best! The number one tag team! Thank you! The number one friends! Today is my last appearance on the tour, but of course I'll be back. Because I have important friends here."
Iwatani: "Thank you!"
Hoshiki: "Thank you! Always love you! (laughs) Alright! We won! Let's all keep working hard together!"
The three of them: "Yay!"
