Will Kashima give Shirakawa a taste of Oedo Tai's powers, or will Shirakawa gain momentum for the official match?
Shirakawa repeatedly asked for a handshake, saying "Please," but Kashima kicked her arm away. When the match began, Shirakawa took the initiative, but Kashima pulled her hair, knocked her down, and cornered her for an attack. Kashima shouted "Who the hell are you!?" and applied a submission hold to Shirakawa's arm on the ground.

Comments from Julia & Maika
Giulia: "Good job, you won. You won. Donna del Mondo, Maika and I were the first two members of the unit, so I'm really happy that we teamed up in the tag league . Seeing Maika's growth recently, or rather, the incredible strength she's shown, I got really fired up and told her to go for it, and she did it, so I have nothing but high expectations, and the winner will be Crazy Bloom."
Maika: "Well, I can't keep chasing after everyone else's backs forever, so I want to leave my mark on this tag team league, and I want Crazy Bloom to win the championship."
Giulia: "We want to win the Goddess of Destiny title and challenge for these four belts, so that we can have six belts in total."
--What about the opposing team, Momo & AZM?
Maika: "In singles matches, I have one win and one loss against Watanabe Momo. I lost to AZM the other day, so I feel like I've been faced with a duo in the first round who I absolutely cannot lose to."
Giulia: "I was scheduled to have a singles match against Momo Watanabe at the Yokohama Budokan, which was cancelled, so I've been wanting to have a match ever since. She's a very skilled wrestler with the record for most title defenses. I was glad that I was able to have even a short match against her, but I want to have a much more intense match with her, and she said that I was her second choice, so I went into the match hoping that she might have come to like me even a little."
