The Kanazawa tournament kicks off with a singles match between Utami HayashishitaandSaya Iida. Iida, who has been particularly powerful lately, will be challenging Utami, the winner of the 5☆STAR GP. Iida also has a singles match against Tam Nakano scheduled for the following day at Korakuen Hall, making it two consecutive singles matches. It could be said that this is positioned as a "best of two" match in the middle of the tag team league tournament.
Iida was seconded by Nakano Tam, Shirakawa Mina, and Iwatani Mayu. Next to enter was Utami, who came out alone. Iida approached and offered a handshake, but Utami did not move from her corner. The match started with a test of strength in a lock-up, with Utami cornering Iida against the ropes. Utami broke free and they locked up again. Iida grabbed Utami's arm, but Utami countered with a headlock. Iida countered again and put a headlock on her. Utami broke free and grabbed Iida's left arm, slamming her to the mat. Iida regained control of the arm and twisted it, but Utami continued to choke her on the ground with a headlock. Iida countered with a head scissors, and when Utami escaped, she charged forward. Utami countered with a shoulder tackle followed by a high body slam. Iida kicked out, and Utami went for a camel clutch. Utami deliberately broke free and delivered a dropkick to the front. Iida hit a reverse chop, and Utami retaliated. Iida unleashed a flurry of chops, but Utami knocked her down with a single running elbow. As Utami dashed forward, Iida countered with a reverse chop. When Utami retaliated, Iida went for a Northern Lights suplex. Utami countered with a corner elbow attack and an elbow drop. When Iida kicked out, Utami went for a sleeper hold. When Iida escaped, Utami took her back and took her to the center. Iida resisted, turned around, and followed up with an elbow, a corner dropkick, and a missile kick. When Utami kicked out, Iida shouted "This time for sure!" and went for a Northern Lights suplex. When Utami resisted, Iida hit a chin crusher followed by a Northern Lights suplex. However, Utami managed to escape. As Iida charged, Utami caught her and delivered a series of judo moves, from an Argentine backflip to a backflip. When Iida kicked out, Utami went for a roll-up. She then went for the Iidabashi suplex, but Utami countered. Still, Iida forced a cover. Utami countered with a lariat. Utami announced the finish with "It's over!" and went for a German suplex. Iida tried to counter, but Utami got behind her again and did another German suplex. Iida couldn't kick out and Utami got the three count

Two official matches of the Goddess of Stardom Tag League were scheduled for this Kanazawa event. First up was Giulia & Maikavs.Riho & Gokigen Desu☆. Both teams had already secured one win in their second matches. Giulia's team defeated Watanabe Momo & AZM, and Riho's team defeated Iwatani Mayu & Starlight Kid, both getting off to a good start. Gokigen Desu☆, in particular, secured her first win by pinning World of Stardom Champion Iwatani Mayu. With Wonder of Stardom's Giulia on their opposing team this time, will they be aiming for another champion upset? Both Giulia and Maika should be wary of Riho's speed and Gokigen's pinfalling moves.
Riho's team extends their handshake, and Gokigen is in a good mood, saying, "Nice to meet you!" However, DDM does not reciprocate, and Gokigen is in a bad mood, saying, "I'm sad." Riho's team nominates Giulia to start the match. When Gokigen comes out, Giulia also responds and the match begins. As usual (for the first time in Kanazawa), Gokigen appeals to all four sides. Giulia approaches and attempts a hell thrust, but it is dodged. DDM combines their attacks, but Riho intervenes and breaks up the attack. DDM reverses their corner attack, but Riho's team takes their hands like a merry-go-round and spins around, forming a fan pose. DDM delivers a double big boot and a back drop to Gokigen. Giulia slams Gokigen into her corner. Maika stomps on Gokigen's neck. Maika uses a series of judo moves on Gokigen. Giulia puts Gokigen in a sleeper hold followed by a camel clutch. Gokigen distracts Giulia and rolls her up. Giulia retaliated, and together with Maika, unleashed a barrage of stomps. Gokigen dodged Maika and charged forward, but each time Maika stuck out her leg to stop her. When Maika dashed forward, Gokigen delivered a hellish thrust. When Riho entered the ring, Giulia and Maika teamed up. Riho dodged and delivered a dropkick to Giulia, then hit Maika with a hurricanrana followed by a 619. Riho then delivered a diving body attack. Maika countered, and Riho charged forward, but Maika delivered a spinebuster. Giulia hit Riho with a knee, then a neckbreaker drop, and an STF. Gokigen tried to break it up, but Maika chased her out of the ring. Giulia went for a brainbuster on Riho. Riho tried to break it up, but Giulia delivered a DDT followed by a back drop. Riho dodged and rolled her up for a foot stomp. Riho attempted a double wrist arm drag, but Maika managed to break it up. Riho and Gokigen cornered Giulia and delivered a running elbow attack followed by a jumping knee from Riho. Gokigen attempted a diving senton, but Maika broke it up. Riho threw Maika out of the ring, and Gokigen threatened Giulia with a brainbuster. However, Giulia reversed it and attacked in combination with Maika. Giulia kicked, but Riho broke it up. Maika sent Riho out of the ring. Giulia attempted a Falcon Arrow on Gokigen, but Riho broke it up in time. Maika stopped Riho again. Giulia threatened to finish the match, but Riho broke it up with a hellish thrust, and Gokigen rolled her up for the pin. The referee counted to three, and Gokigen pinned Giulia. After the match, Giulia complained to the referee, but it was too late
Comments from Julia and Maika
Maika: "I already know the reason for my defeat today. I knew it ever since I fought Giulia before, but I was getting too happy and put in a good mood. I think that's the reason for my defeat this time."
Julia: "... They say the fight between Gokigen and Julia is a fated showdown, but I think that the real rivalry started today. I won't give up until I beat her and strip off her paint."
Comments from Riho & Gokigen Desu☆
-- Gokigen defeated the red (Iwatani) and white (Giulia) champions
Riho: "We won. We were a little nervous, but we said we would aim to win the championship with bright and fun pro wrestling, but now that we've come this far, I think we want to win the championship with an undefeated record."
—I bet Riho was surprised that Gokigen beat the Red and White Champions, too, right?
Riho: "That's right. I have not only a head-on fighting style, but also some subtle techniques, so I think that's definitely my strength."
—With today's win, has your goal shifted to winning the championship undefeated?
Riho: "Yes, I've switched gears, I'm confident now."
Happy: "Julia, you're my rival!"

The official match is between the team of Tora Natsuko & Kashima Saki and the team of Watanabe Momo & AZM. The Oedo Tai team of Natsuko lost to Nakano Tam & Shirakawa Mina, starting with a loss. On the other hand, Momo's team won against Iida Saya & Hanan, but lost to Giulia & Maika, making it 1 win and 1 loss, and they are already playing their third official match. With a total of five official matches, they will want to always have a win to advance to the finals. For that reason, Momo's team needs 2 points from a victory. It is also expected that the Oedo Tai team will fight regardless of the outcome, so Momo's team will need to be very careful
QQ launched a surprise attack before the bell, leading to a brawl outside the ring. Oedo Tai separated QQ and targeted AZM, attacking him in combination with other moves.

Her senton was dodged, but she followed up with a lariat. As Momo returns, Natsuko goes to the corner with a Kamikaze. AZM cuts in Momo with a Deadly Drive and a Soumatou. Natsuko counters, and Momo applies a Chicken Wing Facelock. Natsuko escapes and holds onto the ropes. Momo charges in, but Kashima cuts in, and Natsuko hits an Elbow Smash and a Spear.

Comments from Momo & AZM
AZM: "We lost the first game, but we've bounced back and scored 4 points. We can score 8 points in the next two games, right? Do you think we can reach the finals with 8 points?"
—If you can keep your losses at one, you might have a chance, right?
Momo: "As long as I don't lose"
AZM: "No, we're not going to lose anymore. We're going to win the championship and ultimately aim for the Goddess title."
--You'll be facing the Goddess Champion in an official match tomorrow
Momo: "Oh, that's right."
AZM: "Well, we're teammates. And what's more, we're the ones in the leadership and command roles, so we have to win. We have to win because of our position. We want to play a match that will show the fans what it means to be the leader and commander of QQ, and we want to win overwhelmingly, even if they are the champions."
--The first time these two teamed up, they faced Shimi & Kamiya and it ended in a time-limit draw
Momo: "That's right. We were a little flustered at the time, too."
AZM: "I was a little overconfident."
Momo: "Next time, I won't let things go that way, so I'll be stricter."
—How do you feel about two people from the same unit becoming champions?
AZM: "Well, to be honest, I don't like the idea of a junior member holding the belt, even if we're on the same team, and we're not exactly a close-knit unit. I think it's important to fight alongside your teammates to help each other improve. I'm not happy about him becoming champion, so I'm going to take it."
Momo: "We'll take it ourselves."
AZM: "Let's take it. They're our teammates, but we can't let them get carried away, so let's show them that we're superior. We want to stop their momentum for a while."
—If you beat the reigning champions tomorrow and win the tournament, will you have no objections to challenging Utami & Kamiya for their belts?
Momo: "Yes, I have no complaints."
AZM: "Isn't this a result full of achievements that no one can complain about?"
—How did you feel about the opposing team, Natsuko and Kashima?
Momo: "We took the weapon away from them."
AZM: "We know they're going to use weapons in every match, so we're learning from that. If we can get one, we can win, and in the end, we win. I'm not saying we can't win without weapons, but I think relying on them too much isn't good either."
