The all-out war between STARS and Oedo Tai continued from the previous day. In Shin-Kiba, the team of Mayu Iwatani, Starlight Kid, and Saya Iida was defeated by the team of Natsuko Tora, Saki Kashima, and Ruanka. On this day, STARS will have Gokigen Desu☆ appearing in place of Iida. After the match the previous day, Natsuko provoked Iwatani by saying, "You started this all-out war. You must have some interesting idea." What kind of response will Iwatani give when she says, "I haven't thought of anything"? Will there be any progress in what Natsuko calls a "fruitless all-out war"?
The Oedo Tai charge in to start the match. They overwhelm STARS in an outside brawl. Natsuko torments Iwatani under the ring. She calls for Ruanka, but Iwatani throws Natsuko into the corner, and Kid throws Ruanka into the corner. STARS returns and attacks Ruanka with a corner attack, followed by a dropkick from the trio.

Ryuuka announces he's going for the finish but Gokigen tries to roll him up. Kashima hits him with a chair and Natsuko lifts him up and slams him down. Ryuuka hits him with a diving body press, calling it the "freezer bomb". The three count is called and Ryuuka pins Gokigen
Natsuko: "Hey, what's up, STARS? Where does all that enthusiasm on Twitter go? You all saw it today, didn't you? Ryuka has a special move called the Freezer Bomb. Oh yeah, yesterday I gave Iwatani Mayu a homework assignment. I told her that it's not fun to keep fighting these pointless battles, so come up with an interesting idea. Can I hear your answer?"
Iwatani: "I've been thinking about a lot of things for an all-out war between Oedo Tai and STARS. How about a winner-take-all sumo match?"
Natsuko: "Can't you see who (Natsuko) is in front of you right now? Do you really think you can lift her up?"
Iwatani: "Okay, I get it. I have tons of ideas. So, how about a rope technique that would be advantageous to us..."
Natsuko: "Rejected. I thought that'd happen, you useless bum. So, to keep you all from being sad, the Oedo Tai have come up with something. A 5-on-5 elimination match. The last one to lose will join the opposing team's unit. What do you say, useless bum? Can you give me your answer?"
Iwatani: "So, the person who lost gets in?"
Natsuko: "To put it bluntly, if Mayu Iwatani loses, you'll be in the Oedo Tai."
Iwatani: "If you lose, you're going to be a STARS member, right?"
Natsuko: "I didn't expect you to say that after drawing the line like that. I thought I was going to win."
Kid: "Mayu, you can't talk as if you're going to lose. But right now, STARS doesn't need a single member of Oedo Tai. STARS will definitely win, reject them, and make those Oedo Tai guys look foolish."
Iwatani: "It's 5 against 5, right? It's 5 against 5. We don't need anyone from STARS or Oedo Tai, and we're guaranteed to win. Justice always prevails. I understand the rules. Let's do it."
Comment from Oedo Tai
—So, the player who loses last, not the first player to be eliminated, will join the opposing unit?
Natsuko: "The one who lost last."
—The wrestler who was pinned in the final match?
Natsuko: "That's right. So, if STARS is the last to lose, the last one to lose will join Oedo Tai. If Iwatani Mayu is the last to lose, she'll be mercilessly sent to Oedo Tai. That useless one always leaves it to others. She seems to think things through but she never actually thinks anything through. She was talking about sumo and stuff, and she was stammering so much that I couldn't understand what she was saying, so I figured it was pointless to listen and cut her off halfway through, but anyone can see that Oedo Tai's victory is inevitable. There's nothing more to say to STARS, and Iwatani Mayu should think things through a bit more too, shouldn't she? She calls it war, and then she throws her wristbands when she enters? She's not putting her heart into it. I don't know if it's because of her experience or what, but if she keeps going like that, she'll be left behind by the younger generation, and Stardom will decline. Whatever."
-- Will Oedo Tai adopt a strategy of keeping Iwatani until the end? Is there anyone else you'd like to see?
Natsuko: "If we leave Mayu Iwatani until last and then lose, the fans will be happy. We're not doing this to pander to anyone; we just want to enjoy this match against STARS and have the last laugh. We're still discussing who to leave until last, and we'll definitely push them to the limit. I'm sure we'll figure it out eventually."

*The other person is Utami Hayashishita
A dream match featuring World of Stardom Champion Utami Hayashishita, Wonder of Stardom Champion Tam Nakano, and High Speed Champion Natsupoi will take place all at once. It will be a three-way battle between Hayashishita,Nakano,andNatsupoi. In the six-person tag team match the day before, Nakano's COSMIC ANGELS and Natsupoi's DDM ended in a time-limit draw. After the match, Natsupoi was clearly very conscious of Nakano. Both Nakano and Natsupoi just became champions at the 3/3 Nippon Budokan event. It will be interesting to see what kind of champion image they will build in the future. Furthermore, it will be fascinating to see what kind of fight Hayashishita, who is considered the pinnacle of the organization, will put up against these two. What kind of scene will unfold in the ring after the match?
The three women assume a four-point stance and break. Utami continues to apply a chain of headlocks, refusing to be thrown against the ropes.

Nakano and Natsupoi throw Utami into the corner, but Natsupoi dodges Nakano's attack and delivers an arm whip. After each of them lands an arm whip, Natsupoi delivers a dropkick to Nakano. She then tries to dropkick both of them at once, but they dodge it. Natsupoi dodges a clothesline, but Nakano delivers a big boot to both of them. Nakano delivers a body slam, a soccer ball kick, and a camel clutch to Natsupoi. Then Utami delivers a dropkick to Natsupoi. Utami and Nakano combine for a brainbuster. Natsupoi counters and delivers a low dropkick to both of them. Natsupoi does a plancha to the outside. Natsupoi brings Nakano back and delivers a series of hair whips. After an exchange of elbows, Nakano lands a slap. The exchange of elbows continues, and Utami delivers a missile kick. However, both dodge it and roll up simultaneously. Utami kicks out and they grapple for the back. Utami can't throw them all at once, but puts her full weight into the cover.

As she lifted Nakano up, Natsupoi made the break and hit Nakano with a jackknife pin. The referee counted to three and Natsupoi pinned Nakano.
Natsupoi: "Natsupoi, the queen of the High Speed Country, has won this battle. Tam, Tam-chan, that white belt... My head is spinning."
Nakano: "What?"
Natsupoi: "Let me take on the challenge."
Nakano: "It's... like summer. It's different from before. I have the title and responsibility of a woman who defeated Giulia at Budokan and became the champion of this belt. As the holy champion of the white belt, I'm ready to accept the challenge now."
Natsupoi holds up the high-speed belt
Nakano: "I'm okay with that."
Kid: "Natsupoi, I'm sorry to interrupt you while you're so engrossed in Tamu, but you're free to challenge for the white belt, but the High Speed belt, you haven't defended it even once,whatdo you think? Lately I've distanced myself from High Speed a bit and challenged for various belts, but that hasn't changed; High Speed is still what I want most. Starlight Kid is the only one who can be the first to challenge Natsupoi, who took it from AZM, and take it back. Natsupoi, fight me for the High Speed belt."
Natsupoi: "Okay... I can't see where I'm going. I'll do it."
Natsupoi held up the belt towards Kid

At Korakuen Hall on March 7th, the Cozuen trio reunited for the first time in a while and successfully defended their Artist of Stardom Championship. This time, Shirakawa & Unagi will challenge for the belts without Nakano present. Will the revived and increasingly powerful Cozuen team all become double champions, or will the champions achieve a second consecutive victory? This is a main event unlike anything Stardom has ever seen before, and for that reason, there are high expectations for this title match
The challengers, who entered first, exchanged hugs and vowed to fight hard. Shirakawa volunteered to start the match and faced Himeka as the bell rang. Shirakawa took Himeka's back, but Himeka retaliated and took the match to the ground. After a struggle for leg control, Shirakawa applied a head scissors.

Himeka continued to stomp on Shirakawa's face before delivering a backbreaker. Himeka provokes Shirakawa, daring her to fight back, and knocks her down with an elbow. She then follows up with a body slam and a reverse Boston crab. Maika doesn't allow Unagi to interfere. However, Shirakawa manages to reach the ropes. Himeka still doesn't release the hold and continues to choke her. She helps Shirakawa up and gives her a body slam. Shirakawa hits a neckbreaker and tags in Unagi. Unagi charges at Himeka, but is held down. However, she slams Himeka with a face crusher and drops a guillotine choke. Unagi tries to go for a big fist hold, but Maika interferes.

However, Shirakawa's shoulders lift off. Himeka enters and they deliver a double chokeslam. Maika then hits Shirakawa with a Michinoku Driver. Unagi's attempt to interfere is unsuccessful, and Shirakawa is pinned by Maika.
Maika: "Hey Shirakawa, Unagi, I've seen how serious you guys are. But you're still no match for us. Start over from scratch. Now then, who should our next opponent be? Himeka?"
Himeka: "That's right. Ideally, we'd have liked them to defend their title many times and become the strongest tag team that everyone acknowledges before challenging thosetwo, but there's the big match at Yokohama Budokan on April 4th, isn't there? So I'd like to mention their names. They are both from Donna del Mondo, Shuri and Giulia."
Shuri and Giulia enter the ring
Shuri: "Congratulations on defending your title. But I wonder if it's really okay for us to do it? We're going to take that belt. For us, April 4th would be a huge welcome, right Giulia?"
Julia: "Yeah. No, no, that's just like Donna del Mondo, always willing to take risks. As you can see, you're quick to jump into danger, so we big sisters will keep you company, we big sisters will keep you company."
Maika: "Are you kidding me? Fine. Let's go all out in the ring, ladies."
Maika and Julia shook hands, Julia and Himeka shook hands. Akari alsoboth ofthem.
Maika: "So, for the big match on April 4th, we'll show you what Donna del Mondo is like now. Natsupoi, Shuri, Giulia, Himeka, and Maika, the women who are making waves on the world stage, farewell to Donna del Mondo."
Comments from Maika and Himeka
Maika: "Well, I don't know how hard those guys have been working, but I think they got the message that they're serious. But we still have some moves we haven't shown yet."
Himeka: "There are still some moves they haven't shown yet, and I've had singles matches against Shirakawa and Unagi, but they've grown so much since then, so I think it's good. If they continue like this, I think COSMIC ANGELS will become a great unit, but they're nowhere near Donna del Mondo's level. They're the strongest."
Maika: "We are the strongest, but Akari and Julia, we can't keep chasing after those two forever, so we've decided to surpass them and become the strongest and greatest people."
--These two will headline the title match
Himeka: "At the recent event at Nippon Budokan, even though it was a prologue fight, to be honest, I thought of it as a zero, a dark match, and I was very disappointed. So, even though it's a different venue, I'm very happy that I was able to be the main event of Stardom and close out this Goddess of Stardom event. I hope to be the main event at Yokohama Budokan as well, and I'll do my best until April 4th."
—Did you choose those two as your opponents with the main event of a tag team title match in mind?
Himeka: "Well, that's true. Honestly, Shuri and Giulia are so strong that we don't even know how we're going to beat them; they're flawless. We also want to raise the value of this belt, so when these four are together, it would be strange if it wasn't the main event."
Maika: "Well, I guess it's decided then."
Himeka: "It's decided. Main. I'd like Goddess as the main."
