The opening match of the two-day Tohoku tournament will be a singles match between AZM and Lady C. While the size difference is obvious, AZM has already reached veteran status. What will he learn from the rookie Lady? AZM is expected to use his speed to disrupt Lady, but if Lady can stop him, she may have a chance to win by using her power. Lady made her main event debut in the previous tournament, albeit by chance. She will be looking to put that experience to good use against AZM

STARS' Mayu Iwatani & Koguma faced Artist of Stardom Champions COSMIC ANGELS' Tam Nakano & Mina Shirakawa. This was the second consecutive match between Iwatani & Koguma, who defeated Utami Hayashishita & AZM at the June 20 Maibara event. Koguma's addition is a great help to STARS, who are in a difficult position due to their all-out war with Oedo Tai. It seems likely that Iwatani & Koguma will be appearing together more often in the future. On the other hand, at the Maibara event, Shirakawa and Unagi Sayaka of COSMIC ANGELS seemed a little strained, and Nakano's worried expression was memorable. This is undoubtedly due to rivalry ahead of the July 4 Yokohama Future of Stardom Championship Tournament final, but before that, they have the Artist of Stardom Championship match at Mutsu on June 26 , so they must maintain their unity. First, Nakano and Shirakawa will aim for a decisive victory as a tag team, and hopefully carry that momentum into the June 26th Mutsu and July 4th Yokohama events.

Koguma retaliates with a dropkick to Shirakawa's side, a high body slam, and a foot stomp to the stomach. Iwatani teams up with Koguma, Koguma grabs Shirakawa's neck and Iwatani delivers a dropkick. Iwatani hits Shirakawa with a soccer ball kick and then applies a reverse figure-four leglock. Nakano tries to break up the hold but Koguma chases him out. Iwatani continues with the reverse figure-four leglock but Shirakawa escapes to the ropes.
