*The other three are Saki Kashima, Ruaka, and Gokigen☆
In the 5-WAY match, Ruaka returns from a right shoulder injury. This will be his first time back in the ring since the March 8 Korakuen Hall show, and it will be a fresh start for him as his unit has moved from TCS to STARS. His opponents are Hinami, Rina, Kashima Saki, and Gokigen☆. Rina and Gokigen have also moved from TCS to STARS. Will the three out of five members of the unit unit work together, or will each of them aim for individual victories?
Gokigen appears in a Halloween-themed costume. Gokigen shakes hands with the STARS members, the gong sounds, and the three combine and charge at Hinami. The trio launches a spear attack and tries to form a pyramid, but Gokigen can't quite get on. Nevertheless, they manage to strike a pose and spin around Hinami, holding hands. However, Kashima pulls their legs from ringside. Kashima and Rina combine to attack Hinami, driving her to the ropes and stomping on her. However, Hinami dodges a big boot and Ruaka delivers a cross body to both of them. Hinami prepares to body slam Ruaka, but Ruaka resists and delivers a shoulder tackle. Gokigen takes Ruaka's hand and leads her along the ropes. However, the arm whip is slightly off. Ruaka delivers a shoulder tackle followed by a big boot to Gokigen. Gokigen retaliates, and Ruaka hits a fisherman suplex. Kashima makes the cut, and Rina and Hinami launch a combined sisterly attack. They landed a double brainbuster, but Rina stole Hinami's cover. The sisters fought over the cover. Rina and Hinami exchanged elbows. Rina slapped Hinami saying "Don't underestimate me," and Hinami slammed her to the mat with a hip throw. Hinami tried a Gedo clutch, but Rina managed to escape at the last moment. After a struggle for the back, Gokigen and Ruaka dodged moves and Kashima hit them both with a face crusher. Rina threw Kashima, who hit a big boot and rolled her up for the three count. After the match, Kashima extended her hand for a handshake, which Rina accepted, and the two left the ring together
Comments from Kashima and Rinami
—Kashima extended his hand and offered a handshake, and Rinami responded. What does this mean?
Kashima: "Well, can I speak first? I betrayed my former unit, STARS, and joined Oedo Tai, but you know, I had a feeling. I got the same feeling from Rinami! What do you think about that?"
Rinami: "Well, I didn't feel like I could grow at all if I stayed in a unit like STARS, which wasn't what I wanted, and that kind of flashy style doesn't suit me. I want to grow more, so I want to get stronger in Oedo Tai, and I believe that my dream can only be fulfilled in Oedo Tai, so I joined Oedo Tai where I can do things the way I want."
--Have you entered yet?
Kashima: "(Rinami) is in the Oedo Squad. Because she says she wants to join the Oedo Squad, there's no reason to refuse."
— Did Rinami have any complaints from the moment she joined STARS?
Rinami: "STARS is a unit that I didn't want to be a part of. I can't grow if I stay in STARS, which doesn't have what I'm looking for."
Kashima: "In that respect, the Oedo Tai are not bound by anything, and they can be free. Free. They can do what they want to do and go wild to their heart's content."

Hanan ● |

Saya Iida & HananandTam Nakano & Mina Shirakawa. Iida's team started with two consecutive losses, but their aggressive play has left a good impression. On the other hand, Nakano's team started with Nakano welcoming Shirakawa, who has now officially become a member of STARS. The league record is 1 win and 1 loss for both teams. They are aiming to get ahead in the wins to stay in contention for the championship.
After both teams exchanged a clean handshake, the Iida team launched a surprise dropkick attack on Nakano's team, who had their backs turned, capturing Nakano and delivering a series of dropkicks near the ropes.

Hanan lands a diving body attack followed by a brainbuster hold.Tenminutes have passed, and Nakano lands a brainbuster and a thrust kick. Hanan counters, and Nakano attempts a German suplex.

Nakano lands a Violet Shooting, and Hanan is unable to kick out, resulting in a three-count.
Nakano: "We've secured our second win and two chances. Chanmina, thank you for helping us out today. Now that Chanmina has officially joined STARS, I have an announcement for everyone. DREAM☆H is full of dreams and hopes, and Tam has prepared another piece to make it explode at the next Korakuen Hall event.... it's not H, itI, it'sG...? No, if I had to describe it, it's ZZ. Everyone, look forward to it! It's a chance!!"
Comments from Nakano and Shirakawa
Shirakawa: "Tam-san said she was leaving it up to me today, but she ended up doing a great job."
Nakano: "I did my best for Chanmina. Thank you Chanmina for helping me."
Shirakawa: "I feel like we're finally starting to work together in sync."
Nakano: "That's right. We've finally started to get the hang of 'Chance!!'and our timing is starting to work together, so wouldn't you like to create another explosion, a big bang?"
Shirakawa: "I got it, I got it, it exploded."
Nakano: "What a troublesome woman."
Shirakawa: "I'm a troublesome woman."
Nakano: "It's not exactly like that, but we have children to make our time together even better. That's what it is."
Shirakawa: "Will you give birth?"
Nakano: "At the next Korakuen Hall event, DREAM☆H's child will be born, and a big bang will occur. So, what do you think?"
Shirakawa: "I think that's good."
Nakano: "I'm looking forward to it."
Shirakawa: "I'm looking forward to it. I need to get ready for childbirth."
Nakano: "Thank you again today."

Former Goddesses of Stardom champions Utami Hayashishita and Momo Watanabe will be joined by Riho Watanabe to face the Oedo Tai team of Bea Priestley, Konami, and Natsuko Tora. The rivalry between Momo and Priestley will likely be the central focus of the match. The Oedo Tai team, aiming to capture the Artist of Stardom Championship, will undoubtedly use weapons and rough tactics to their advantage. It remains to be seen what impact Riho's addition will have on Utami and Momo's team, making this a very unpredictable six-woman tag team match
Kashima appears with Rina, and the two open the ropes to welcome the Oedo Tai. As Oedo Tai's Natsuko is called, QQ launches a surprise dropkick attack, and the fight spills outside the ring. Outside the ring, Oedo Tai quickly turns the tables, with Natsuko cornering the returned Momo and stomping on her face. Konami delivers a series of middle kicks and traps Momo in her own corner. Priestley body slams Momo and goes for a one-legged cover. Natsuko washes Momo's face. Momo shouts "Don't mess with me!" and delivers a dropkick. Riho hits Natsuko with a diving body attack. Riho dodges Priestley and Konami and delivers a DDT. She jumps on Natsuko and gives her a foot stomp. Riho prepares for a Northern Lights, but Natsuko resists, lifts her up, and gives her a backflip. Konami delivers a sliding kick and a fisherman suplex to Riho. Riho counters, and Konami applies an armbar. Riho dodges and delivers a Northern Lights. Utami hits Konami with a shoulder tackle, a running elbow attack, a dropkick, and a sleeper hold. Konami gets behind Utami and applies a heel hold. Natsuko and Priestley come to the rescue and the Oedo Tai team compete in submission holds. Konami gets behind Utami but Utami counters with a German suplex. Konami gets up and throws Utami back. Momo and Priestley exchange kicks. After an exchange of elbows, Momo charges in with a running attack. Priestley dodges but Momo counters with a middle kick followed by a running dropkick. For the second one, Natsuko interferes and the Oedo Tai team attacks all at once. Priestley kicks upwards but Momo clears it. Priestley goes for the Kamigoye but Momo dodges and goes for the Tequila. Priestley counters with a dive but Momo catches her and slams her down. Momo puts Priestley in a dragon sleeper. Utami gives Priestley a backflip. Momo and Riho hit her with a dropkick from both sides. Momo lands a tequila shot, but Kashima pulls the referee's leg. Priestley hits Momo with a knee strike, then Natsuko hits her with a chain. She then wraps the chain around Momo's neck and attempts to hang her. Priestley puts Momo on her shoulders and performs a Queen's Landing. The referee notices the chain around Momo's neck and calls for the bell. Momo wins by disqualification
Natsuko: "Hey Watanabe Momo! How many times have you lost to us? You never learn. Aren't you just a stupid wrestler? Oh, and Rina. You're young and brave, you're a good fit for the Oedo Tai! Let's work together (shakes hands with Rina). Okay. So, we want to prepare for the Artist battle, so our fight with Queen's Quest is over. We're tired of it. Bee, say what you always do."
Bee: "Riho, salty. Utami, saltier. Momo, saltiest of all!"
Natsuko's comment
—But you managed to bring Rinami into the picture
"I realized that Oedo Tai definitely needs some young energy. Looking at other units, there are young people everywhere, and that brings vitality and a new fighting spirit. Rinami is still young and has time, so if we train her now, when she's the same age as us, she'll be able to conquer Stardom as a heel."
—What are your thoughts on pursuing a career as an artist?
"We've already decided on our members, and we're incredibly excited to see what we'll do. We don't know who our opponents want to fight or who they want to face, but basically, we're in control of our matches. They won't be able to move in the slightest of their own accord. DDM will just end up making a fool of themselves."

*The third champion, Maika, successfully defended her title for the first time
Originally scheduled for August 22nd at Yokohama Budokan, the title match was cancelled, and it will finally take place at this event. Maika won the championship in the July 17th Korakuen Hall match, and this will be her first title defense. Her challenger is Saya Kamitani, the current Goddess of Stardom Champion, who is aiming for revenge for her loss in the three-way title match and her first singles title. Kamitani pinned Maika in the Goddess of Stardom Championship match, but true revenge would come from winning the singles match and taking the belt. However, Kamitani suddenly withdrew from the October 25th Maebashi event due to illness. This leaves some uncertainty surrounding the title match. Will Kamitani overcome her handicap and take the belt, or will Maika achieve her first title defense?
The two women glared at each other in the center of the ring as the bell rang. Kamiya initiated the attack, exchanging elbows. Kamiya dropped Maika out of the ring with a dropkick, then went to the apron and performed a moonsault attack. Kamiya charged towards ringside, where Maika caught her and slammed her down. Maika brought Kamiya back and stomped on her back. Maika then unleashed a series of judo moves. When Kamiya countered, Maika threw her into the corner and charged. Kamiya dodged, but Maika countered again and applied a camel clutch. When Kamiya escaped, Maika dashed forward. Kamiya used the ropes to confuse Maika, delivering a dropkick, a corner knee attack, and another dropkick. When Maika countered, Kamiya applied a reverse Boston crab. Maika escaped and launched an elbow. Kamiya fought back, and they exchanged powerful elbows. Kamiya went down. Maika stomped on her head and taunted her, "Is that all you've got?" When Maika pulls her up saying, "Let's keep going," Kamiya makes her move. After an exchange of big boots, Kamiya lands a series of elbows. Maika hits a lariat from close range. Kamiya immediately gets up and delivers a double kick. Both are down. Kamiya charges forward, but Maika hits a quebradora con hilo. Kamiya kicks out, and Maika lifts her up. Kamiya counters and prepares for a brainbuster. Kamiya switches tactics and hits a knee kick followed by a missile kick. Kamiya announces her finish and hits a running shooting star followed by a knee. Kamiya helps Maika up and declares she's going for the finish before hitting a star crusher. Maika kicks out at the last moment, and Kamiya declares she's going for the finish again and heads to the corner. Maika catches up and climbs onto the corner. Five minutes remaining. Maika executes a superplex. Without releasing the hold, she hits another brainbuster. Kamiya kicks out, and Maika lifts her up. Kamitani attempted a pinfall, but Maika countered with a lariat and a Flame Drop from close range. Kamitani was unable to escape, and Maika successfully defended her title. After the match, Iida Saya appeared and entered the ring
Iida: "How can I stay silent after watching you and Kamiya's match?!"
When Iida declared her challenge, Maika raised her fist. Iida also raised her fist and left the ring
Maika's comment
—It's been quite some time since you won the belt. How was it during this period without any title defenses?
"Well, I'd been waiting for a while, wondering who would bite me. But no one came, no one. I really started to think that this belt wasn't worth much. So I decided to bite Kamiya, who I lost to in the Goddess tournament. Today, I'm facing Kamiya in a singles match for the first time. We've done a lot of things together, but this is our first singles match here, and she's really fun to be around. She's always grinning and then crying and screaming, she's so emotionally unstable, her emotions are really intense, and I think another side of Saya Kamiya came out today."
—Do you think you've settled things with Kamiya?
"No, not yet. This time it was more of a contest with a winner and loser, but Kamiya, myself, Gori who appeared today, and Iida—we all debuted in the same year, right? I think we'll probably become even more rivals, or at least push each other to improve."
—Currently, the title is being contested by the three wrestlers who have competed in the round-robin tournament, but is there any possibility of other wrestlers entering the fray?
"Well, of course, of course, you're welcome, welcome. Anyone is welcome. But there are a few conditions. Less than two years, and20years old. I think anyone can still say they want to. It doesn't cost anything to say it. The question is whether they have the ability to challenge for this belt."
—Does Maika see this belt as a belt for younger wrestlers?
"Rather than a belt for young wrestlers, I think it's something that those who will reach the top of Stardom in the future should hold and challenge for."
—Utami, whom Maika has always been aware of, is challenging for the red belt. What are your thoughts on this as the Future Champion?
"Well, Utami is Utami, and she goes where she wants to go, says what she wants to say, and does what she wants to do, and she understands what she needs to do and what she has to do. Of course that's frustrating, but I also have things I need to do. I want to raise the value of this belt, which is considered to have little value even within this company, and make it big enough that one day it can be the main event on a big stage. That's what I think I need to do right now."

STARS' Mayu Iwatani & Starlight Kid will face Donna del Mondo's Syuri & Natsupoi in a tag team match. Iwatani's team is entered in the tag team league, but this match is unofficial. It will likely be a tune-up match in their bid for a comeback victory. However, their opponents are DDM's Syuri & Natsupoi. Iwatani and Syuri had a fierce battle for the red belt at Yokohama Budokan. After the match, Syuri hinted at joining Stardom, so the rivalry between the two will likely continue. Iwatani has a title defense match against Utami Hayashishita on November 15th in Sendai , but it is certain that this match will be fought with a rematch in mind. The match between Iwatani and Natsupoi is also one to watch. For Natsupoi, who is aiming for the High Speed Championship, a match against Kid, a rival of the current champion AZM, is unavoidable.
The bell rang, with Iwatani and Shuri starting the match. After a test of strength in a lock-up, Shuri gained the upper hand and they broke. Shuri took Iwatani's back and grabbed her arm. They broke after a struggle for the arm and tagged in their partners. Kid and Natsupoi engaged in a rope-work battle. Kid used the ropes to perform an arm whip followed by a dropkick. Kid drove Natsupoi into the corner, and Iwatani and Kid launched a running attack followed by a double dropkick, and Kid delivered a foot stomp. As Kid ran, Shuri kicked her from the apron and Natsupoi went for the cover. Natsupoi grabbed Kid's mask and slammed her onto the mat. Natsupoi put her leg on the third rope and applied a chokehold. She took some time in the air for a body slam and went for the cover, but Kid kicked out. Shuri delivered a soccer ball kick to Kid. She pinned her against the ropes and Natsupoi joined in. Shuri continued to go for cover, putting pressure on Kid. Natsupoi applied a leg lock, then an Indian deathlock, and finally a sickle hold to Kid. Shuri stops Iwatani when she tries to interfere and applies a cobra twist. Kid delivers a dropkick to Natsupoi. Iwatani follows up with a series of dropkicks. Shuri intervenes and teams up with Natsupoi, and Iwatani delivers an arm whip to both of them. Iwatani and Kid perform a 619 and a standing moonsault in a duel. Iwatani hits Natsupoi with a Northern Suplex. Natsupoi counters with a thrust kick. Shuri delivers a series of middle kicks to Iwatani, followed by a corner knee and a front neck chancery. After an exchange of elbows, Shuri lands a series of middle kicks. They exchange kicks and collide, both going down. When they get up, Shuri delivers a German suplex and Iwatani delivers a Dodonpa. Iwatani tags in Kid. Kid delivers a diving body attack, a series of hurricanrsanas, and a low dropkick. Shuri retaliates, and Natsupoi blocks Kid's dropkick. Shuri drops Natsupoi on top of Kid and they exchange kicks. However, Iwatani made an early cut.Tenminutes passed. Shuri lifted Kid, but Kid called in Iwatani for a thrust kick before hitting a DDT. Kid hit Shuri with a fisherman suplex. Shuri countered, and Iwatani entered the ring, hitting Kid with a back cracker, followed by Iwatani's diving foot stomp and Kid's spinning diving body press. Kid tried to hit Shuri with a Kicchan Bomb, but Natsupoi blocked it. Shuri caught Kid in a scorpion deathlock, but Iwatani broke it up. Natsupoi sent Iwatani out of the ring and did a plancha. Shuri lifted Kid, but she was rolled up. Neither of them gave in to the exchange of roll-up attempts. Shuri hit a high kick against Kid's charge. Shuri countered and applied a modified dragon sleeper, named Seiryu, which simultaneously applied pressure to four places. Kid tapped out, and Shuri won.
Shuri: "I, Shuri, have officially joined Stardom as of November 1st. I will do my best to become the most brilliant wrestler in the Stardom ring! And, recently, a rivalry has developed between me and Bea Priestley. As a way to commemorate joining Stardom, I request a singles match against Bea! Bea, let's have a one- on -one match. That's all!"
Comments from Akari and Natsupoi
Shuri: "This was my first match since joining the promotion. I was able to secure a clean victory against Mayu Iwatani and Kid from STARS, along with Natsupoi. I will continue to shine in this ring, so please keep an eye on me."
Natsupoi: "Akari-neechan got a solid surrender again today. Well, I don't think it would be fun if I just meekly followed along, so I want to jump into all sorts of different battles from now on."
Shuri: "Also, today, following the Vermilion Bird, I used the Azure Dragon as a finishing move. I still have White Tiger and Black Tortoise joint locks that I haven't used yet, so please look forward to them."

* Giulia, the 14th champion, successfully defended her title for the second time
The main event is a Wonder of Stardom Championship match between stablemates Giulia and Himeka. This will be Giulia's second title defense. After successfully defending the white belt in a three-match series against Tam Nakano, Giulia has chosen the opponent who defeated her in the 5☆STAR GP as her next opponent. And that opponent is Himeka, a fellow DDM stablemate. The two had an official match at Korakuen Hall on August 9th, where Himeka handed Giulia her first singles loss since joining Stardom. Perhaps this defeat affected Giulia, as she also lost to Tam Nakano and Konami, dropping out of contention for the championship. Himeka, on the other hand, advanced to the finals, and although she lost to Utami Hayashishita, she managed to make a big impact in her debut appearance. Now they are facing off in a singles rematch for the belt. If Himeka wins again, she will achieve her first singles championship in Stardom. One year after her controversial and sudden debut in Stardom ( October 14 ), and exactly three years after her debut, champion Giulia is facing what could be called the biggest crisis of her career since joining Stardom .
While the referee was checking, Himeka attacked and sent Giulia flying. She went for a powerbomb but Giulia dodged it. Giulia dodged a lariat and got behind Giulia. Giulia slammed her with an arm whip, followed by a dropkick and a big boot that sent her crashing to the floor. Giulia also went outside the ring and the fight continued. Giulia grabbed Himeka's neck and slammed her into the ring post. Giulia brought Himeka back into the ring and twisted her left arm. She then locked both of her legs and grabbed her hair. Giulia taunted her, saying, "What happened to all that energy you had earlier?" Giulia hit a running big boot and a neckbreaker, but Himeka countered. Giulia grabbed Himeka's neck and pulled her up, then used the ropes. Himeka countered with a neck hanging tree and slammed Giulia, then applied a reverse figure-four leglock. Giulia escaped, and Himeka hit her from behind with a knee attack, a backbreaker, and an Argentine backbreaker. Giulia jumped in and applied a Manji hold. Giulia continued to choke her even when the match went to the ground. As Himeka escapes, Giulia delivers a missile kick from behind. When Himeka retaliates, Giulia kicks her in the face. Himeka grabs Giulia by the neck and slams her into the corner. Himeka screams, and they exchange elbows. Himeka collapses but gets up and fights back. After an exchange of elbows, Giulia delivers a flurry of blows from both sides. As Giulia charges, Himeka hits a lariat.10minutes have passed. Both are on their knees and exchanging slaps. Giulia headbutts both of them down. As they get up at the count of eight, Himeka delivers a jumping knee. Giulia catches the second one and delivers a big boot. Himeka retaliates, and Giulia prepares for a back drop. Himeka resists, but Giulia delivers a big boot followed by a Falcon Arrow. Himeka retaliates, and Giulia goes to the corner. Himeka catches up and attempts a superplex. Giulia resists and applies a figure-four leglock in the corner. Giulia lifts her up and delivers a superplex backflip. When Giulia retaliates, Himeka pulls her up and attempts an Argentine backbreaker. She then slams Giulia down, but only gets a two count.15minutes have passed. Himeka attempts a powerful powerbomb, but Giulia counters with a triangle choke followed by an armlock. Himeka manages to escape. Giulia goes for a Glorious Driver, but Himeka resists and delivers a back drop and a sliding lariat. Himeka screams, "It's over!" Giulia rolls up Giulia as she attempts a running powerbomb. Himeka kicks out, and Giulia delivers a dropkick. Himeka hits a lariat and then pulls Giulia up, but gets hit with a back drop. Both women charge at each other, and Giulia's big boot connects. Giulia delivers a front kick followed by a back drop, but only gets a two count. Giulia delivers a sit-down Glorious Driver. The referee counts to three, and Giulia defeats Himeka.
Giulia: "Big, big Himeka, I've won my second title defense! Is being big a sign of strength? Is being big a sign of justice? I don't care about any of that. I have this belt, that's the fact. Himeka, you talked a lot of cocky stuff to me. Come back and try again. Then I might fight you. I don't dislike cocky people, though. I'd like to nominate the next challenger for this belt. The evil woman, the grappler? I love grappling too, you know. Konami, Konami!"
Konami appears and enters the ring.
Giulia: "Next time, you'll have to defend this title against me."
Konami: "Julia, Julia! Julia! You're saying goodbye to that belt. The end! See you later!"
Giulia: "So, is that okay...? Yes, it's okay. Giulia will definitely defend the title, and I will increase the value of this belt, so everyone keep your eyes on Giulia. It'sayear since Giulia came to Stardom. Back then, Giulia was, honestly, hard to describe. She was a bad girl, but I think there are a lot of people here who hate Giulia. But, but, to the fans who have let her do what she wants and watched over her, I don't like saying this, but thank you. I'll wrap it up. Natsupoi, Maika, Syuri, Himeka, and Giulia. Women who will explode onto the world stage, Donna del Mondo! Arrivederci, see you again!"
Julia's comment
"For now, I've successfully defended the title for the second time, and every time I have a match with this belt on the line, I feel like I've got something incredible. It's the first time I've held a singles championship, so I don't want to be underestimated, and that's why. That's why my determination just keeps getting stronger and stronger. People often say it's a farce, but whether they're my teammates or not, if something annoys me, it annoys me. Especially with Himeka. When she does interviews, I really think, 'What's wrong with this girl?'" But I was a little happy at the signing ceremony. But Himeka is scary when she's in a match. That's true. But that's why, when we're fighting with our emotions laid bare like this, that's what gives this belt its value. I don't know what the right answer is, but this is the only way I can do it, this is Giulia, but even so, I've decided to make this belt the best belt. My third title defense is against Konami. It's a tough fight, but I've lost to her once. I will definitely defend it here. I have to repay the debt. Also, it's been exactly one year since I came to Stardom. Thank you for letting me do what I want. I'll say it just for today. Thank you. Arrivederci, see you later."
