The match was a six-person tag team elimination match featuring Riho, Starlight Kid & Saya Iida, AZM, Reo Onozaki & Hina, and Konami, Rina & Saya Kamitani. If one member of a team lost, that team was eliminated, and the last team remaining was the winner. Konami, who was scheduled to participate in this match, had her final official match against Jungle Kyona, but Kyona was injured and unable to participate, resulting in a walkover. With 5 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw, she now has 11 points and is in sole possession of first place in the Blue Stars. This narrows the field of finalists from this block down to Konami and Jamie Hayter, and whether Konami can advance to the finals for the first time will depend on the result of the Bea Priestley vs. Jamie Hayter match

| Everly <8 points> |
5 minutes 18 seconds |
Summer violets <4 pieces> |
The official match is between Natsu Sumire and Everly. Everly, who is visiting Japan for the first time, seems to have gotten used to fighting in Japan and has been rapidly increasing her wins towards the end of the tournament. If she defeats Natsu here, she will be tied at 4 wins and 4 losses and will be able to complete the 5★STAR GP. If Everly wins here, Natsu will be guaranteed last place in the Red Stars. Cornered, Natsu will surely want to take Everly down with her at all costs. Lately, Natsu has been using her opponents' signature moves in a rule-breaking way. What signature move of Everly's could Natsu use? Or will she be able to avoid last place by using the comeback technique she stole from Kashima? Will Natsu's research be put to the test?

Hoshiki Arisa and Kagetsu will face off in their highly anticipated first singles match. Both have a 4-3 record, but Konami has already earned 11 points, eliminating both from the finals. This only makes it more likely to be a no-holds-barred showdown. Kagetsu had named Hoshiki as a wrestler to watch even before the league matches began.

After the match, Hoshiki puts the white belt over her shoulder and takes the microphone
Hoshiki: "Kagetsu-san, I wanted to savor the match to the very last moment before the 15 minutes were up and then beat you. I'm really frustrated... It ended in a draw. But I've come to think even more that I want to have a match with you for this belt. I've always thought that!"
As Kagetsu reached for the microphone, she spotted Everly clinging to the ringside. Everly declared her challenge for the Nagoya tournament. Hoshiki:
"N-Nagoya? Huh? I was with Kagetsu-san... (Kagetsu leaves) Uh, no wait, look at all these people. Okay, okay! Nagoya, huh. I'm not giving this belt to anyone until I've faced Kagetsu-san, but I guess I could take on the challenge as a test of strength. This just adds another layer of excitement, and I think it's more fun for everyone if I save the most exciting thing for later, right? Is that okay? Then I'll accept. Thank you very much. See you again."

| Bea Priestley <10 points> |
Queen's Landing at 10 minutes and 7 seconds |
Jamie Hayter <10 points> |
The match is between two foreign wrestlers, Bea Priestley and Jamie Hayter. If Hayter wins here, she will be the sole leader of the Blue Stars and advance to the final. Even if it's a draw, Jamie will advance as she won her direct match against Konami. For Konami to advance to the final, she needs to get two points from Priestley. Priestley's record so far is 4 wins and 3 losses. Moreover, one of those wins was a walkover against Utami Hayashishita, so it's probably not a satisfactory result for the Red Belt champion. For that reason, she will be determined to sabotage Hayter. In this match, Priestley will likely be assisting Konami, who is also from Queen's Quest
Hayter extends his hand for a handshake, saying, "I'd like to be the second foreigner, please." But he quickly changes his tune and attacks. Hayter slams Presley into the corner on the apron and performs a tope suicida to the outside. He brings him back into the ring and goes for the cover, but it's only a two count each time. Hayter stomps on Presley's face. He grabs his kicking leg and applies a reverse figure-four leglock. When Presley escapes, Hayter charges. Presley dodges and delivers a neckbreaker, a neckbreaker from the apron, and a swan dive that falls flat but hits Hayter in the back. Hayter dodges the charge and delivers a chokeslam-style backbreaker. Both are down. Five minutes have passed. They get up after exchanging elbows and exchange elbow attacks. Presley counters with a high kick. A foot stomp from the top is dodged. Hayter grabs him on the apron, but Presley gets behind him. Both go outside. Hayter brings him back and delivers an elbow. Priestley dodges, but Hayter delivers a series of lariats. Priestley retaliates, and Hayter gets behind him. Priestley counters, but Hayter charges. Priestley retaliates with a series of knee attacks and a modified back drop hold. Hayter retaliates, and Priestley grabs both of his arms and delivers a knee strike. Hayter retaliates, and Priestley delivers a running knee attack, followed by a Queen's Landing. Hayter cannot retaliate, and Priestley wins. As a result, Konami will advance as the top seed in the Blue Stars. The final match will be Konami vs. Hana
Bea: "Jamie, Jamie, remember this. Bea Priestley is always the number one foreigner. But Jamie Hayter is also a great fighter. Maybe Jamie is the second most foreigner. The Goddesses of Tag League starts in October, so if the number one and second most foreigners team up, it'll be amazing. Jamie Hayter, please be my partner for the Goddesses of Tag League."

Winner: Hana Kimura, Runner-up: Konami, Fighting Spirit Award: Jamie Hayter, Outstanding Performance Award: Tam Nakano, Skill Award: AZM. Best Match Award: Kagetsu vs. Jungle Kyona (September 8, Shin-Kiba)
Hana: "♪Killer, killer, shining, my 5★STAR♪ I won! Ho! Ho! Ho! Thank you! My 5★STAR this year was in a different block from the two from TCS, so I believed that one of them would make it up, but I'm really sad that Jungle Kyona didn't make it... Someday, someday... (She hugs Kyona while crying, but fans shout "Fake crying"). I'm not lying! Old man, who are you! Let's do it someday. I think I pulled a muscle in my leg. Please come to the hospital with me. I'm so happy, thank you! But, but, but, this isn't the end. After winning this league, I've done what I've always wanted to do. Bea Priestley! Come here. Come on baby! Hello, Queen Bee. I wanna kick your ass. I want a red belt. (I want to challenge for the red belt! And kick this Bea-chan Priestley's ass! What do you say?)
Priestley: "You want to kick my ass? You want to kick the ass of the red belt champion? What are you talking about? Fine, I'll take you on."
Hana: "The words got reversed, didn't they? Even though I'm Japanese (laughs). Thanks everyone for watching until the end! Well, since all of Stardom's lapdogs are gathered in the ring, let's all do the TCS closing together. Our unit, Tokyo Cyber Squad, has the motto "Everyone is different, and that's okay." So when I say "Everyone is different, and that's okay," you all say "Tokyo Cyber Squad." Then all the losers should join in and say "Yes sir." OK? So, everyone is different, and that's okay, Tokyo Cyber Squad, yes sir!"
Flower comments
"♪My crown shines, sparkling♪ To be honest... I'm happy. Happy. Happy. But, what I really wanted to do this season was to advance to the 5★STAR finals, have one of the TCS teams advance, and then have a final showdown. Jungle Kyona's absence midway through was quite disappointing, as she had been absent without any previous absences, and it was quite regrettable that someone who had never been absent was suddenly absent due to an accident. Well, I won today. But, I'm still feeling the effects of the previous match against Hazuki. Her merciless and brutal leg attacks were It was really tough, and I was half-broken. But I feel like I won this 5★STAR through sheer determination. I want to face Konata-senpai again. It would be an excuse to say I wasn't in top condition, but I thought I'd like to come up with a strategy against Konata-senpai again and have a fierce battle. Looking at it this way, I thought Kimura Hana was going to invade Stardom all by herself, but I think TCS has already invaded Stardom. I thought that after the TCS showdown in the main event today. TCS has started to invade Stardom. Ogawa-san, are you alright? Stardom's lapdogs, you'd better be a little more careful, or TCS and Kimura Hana will take over Stardom!
—You've been promoting the red belt title, right?
"I really wanted the red belt. It was around this time last year, I think, after I came back from Mexico. At that time, I wasn't very interested in titles, I was just focused on crushing Oedo Tai. But after joining the group, I developed a desire for titles, or rather, I became very interested in them. I want to make it happen. I really love singles matches, and I wanted proof that I wouldn't lose to anyone in singles matches. Before 5★STAR, I really felt like I was all talk. So, I did manage to win 5★STAR, which was something I said I would do. Until then, I decided to hold off on challenging for the red belt. I was even thinking that if I didn't make it to the finals of this league, or if I lost in the finals, I might just stop saying that I love singles matches. But I successfully kept my word, and today, in front of everyone, I proudly want to challenge for the red belt. I told the current champion, and I'm really looking forward to it, but I also realized my weaknesses in today's main event. I want to eliminate those weaknesses even more and become the absolute champion."
