Tsukiyama Wakana's fourth Stardom Challenge match will be against Syuri, the SWA World and Goddesses of Stardom Champion. Another tough fight is expected for Tsukiyama, but like her contemporary rival Sakurai Mai, she seems to be gradually getting used to the Stardom ring. She will inevitably be compared to Sakurai, so she will want to leave some kind of mark on Syuri
As Tsukiyama extends her hand for a handshake, Shuri cleanly accepts, and the match begins. Shuri spreads her arms wide, inviting Tsukiyama to come on. Tsukiyama attempts a tackle, but Shuri catches her and slams her to the mat. Tsukiyama attempts a series of cover attempts, but Shuri kicks out.

Mai Sakurai |
Mai Sakurai's eighth Stardom Challenge match will be a one-on-one battle against Konami. Konami currently has a 5-2 record in the 5★STAR GP, placing her second in the Blue Stars, and her victories against Takumi Iroha, Syuri, and Utami Hayashishita are particularly noteworthy. Can Sakurai find a way to overcome this formidable opponent?

After a test of strength in a lock-up, they grapple for each other's arms, with Konami grabbing Sakurai's arm on the ground and applying a headlock. Konami lands a soccer ball kick and drives Sakurai to the ropes, where the Oedo Tai team grabs her and attacks.

Sakurai lands a series of elbows, but Konami stands firm and takes them. Sakurai lands a series of big boots and takes the match to the ground. However, Konami applies an armbar.

Unagi Sayaka [7 points] |
Win by disqualification after 7 minutes and 40 seconds |
Ryuka [0 points] |
2 wins, 4 losses,1draw, against Ryukana, who has yet to win a match in her five bouts. Ryukana has reacted to and objected to Unagi, the Future of Stardom champion, putting her belt on the line against her opponent in her first Stardom match. Questions about the Future Championship match have also been raised by Rina and Lady C, who are eligible to challenge for the title, and this match marks the first time Ryukana will face champion Unagi directly, even though it is an official 5★STAR GP match. Ryukana has lost all five of her matches so far, but it is expected that she will launch a desperate attack. Unagi has been eliminated from the championship race, but it seems she will be required to fight as the Future Champion.
Ruika, who entered first, attacked Unagi from behind at ringside as he entered later. Ruika dominated Unagi in the brawl outside the ring. Once in the ring, he stomped on Unagi's face and taunted him, saying, "Is that all you've got?" Unagi responded with a face crusher, a running elbow, and a big boot. As he went for the Daifuhen Hold, Ruika countered with a shoulder tackle, a senton, a face lock, a face wash, and a lariat. Both men were down and on their knees, exchanging elbows. Ruika unleashed a flurry of blows, but Unagi countered with a Codebreaker and a guillotine drop. Unagi's attempt at the Daifuhen Hold was resisted, but he slammed Ruika forward. Unagi got fired up and prepared for the Daigiitatto. Ruika resisted, and Ruika delivered a Complete Shot. Unagi delivered three consecutive heel drops, then pulled Ryuka up and hit him with a double hammer, cornering him, but Ryuka struck him with an iron pipe, and his corner man distracted the referee. Ryuka then choked Unagi with the iron pipe. The referee noticed what was happening and called for the bell, resulting in a disqualification victory for Unagi
Ryuka: "Unagi, you can only defend your title in assessment matches? Actually, aren't you just looking to increase your number of title defenses? I'll fight someone weaker than you, and with my five-year career, I'll snatch this belt from you.October9th at Osaka-jo Hall? Got a problem with that?"
Unagi: "Ryuuka, I knew you'd come. I've been waiting. Five years in the industry and only17years old, what's going on? That's great.October9th, at Osaka Castle Hall, this Osaka-born maverick will definitely defend this Future title."
Comments about eels
--Ryuuka declares her challenge
"Well, yes. But I was absolutely certain that Ruanka would come, and I was waiting for her, and I thought she would come the most, so things are going according to my plan. Well, of course, my opponent and I have different goals in terms of winning the belt, but it wouldn't be fun if she didn't come with that kind of determination (to definitely win the belt), so I really180percent hatred."

Koguma [7 points] |
7 minutes 1 second side |
Saki Kashima [2 points] |
Koguma, with a record of 2 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw, will clash with Kashima Saki, who has a record of 1 win and 4 losses, in an official match. Koguma is currently evenly matched, and her match against Iwatani Mayu ended in a double count-out draw. However, Koguma had the upper hand in terms of performance, so she still has a chance to win the championship. For that reason, she will definitely want to score 2 points against Kashima. On the other hand, Kashima has a record of 1 win and 4 losses, so she is effectively out of contention for the championship. That's why it's likely that she will do anything to sabotage Koguma. Koguma will need to be careful of interference from the Oedo Tai during the match
Koguma extends his hand for a handshake, but after the gong rings, Kashima extends his hand and says, "Please." Koguma, feeling suspicious, thinks, "This is definitely shady," but is about to agree when Koguma rolls him up repeatedly. Koguma applies a headlock, but Kashima drives him to the ropes and delivers a series of stomps followed by a stomp to the face. Kashima taunts Koguma by pulling his hair, then puts his right arm on the ropes and kicks him up. He continues his attack on the ground by pulling Koguma's hair. He covers him with one leg, but it is deemed a foul and the count does not begin. Kashima taunts Koguma, saying, "What happened to your initial momentum?" and kicks him in the face, then stomps on both his feet. Koguma stops Kashima's charge and delivers a dropkick, shouting, "You idiot!" He drives Kashima to the ropes and delivers a series of stomps followed by a foot stomp. Kashima kicks out, and Koguma throws him into the corner and delivers a running body attack, a body slam, a standing body press, and a DDT. However, the count onlytwo. Kashima avoided being thrown by the ropes and jumped in with a hurricanrana, then applied a modified卍-lock. Kashima locked in an armbar, but Koguma managed to escape. Kashima charged in and delivered a big boot. Koguma countered, and Kashima headed to the corner, signaling the finish. Koguma caught up and delivered a superplex face crusher. "Not yet!" he shouted, pulling him up and delivering a missile kick. However, Kashima reversed and covered him. After a series of roll-ups, Kashima yelled that it was over and tried to turn the tables. Koguma reversed and secured the three-count.

Mayu Iwatani [9 points] |
9 minutes 0 seconds |
Mina Shirakawa [4 points] |
Mayu Iwatani and Mina Shirakawa will face off in a 5★STAR GP official match. Two days ago at Korakuen Hall, Iwatani and Koguma ended in a double count-out draw, and before that, on September 11thatShiodome, she fell for a trick by Fukigen Desu★ and suffered her first ever disqualification loss, leaving her in a rut. This is a crucial match for Iwatani as she aims for her second championship. Her opponent today is Mina Shirakawa, a former member of STARS. Although COSMIC ANGELS, led by Tam Nakano, was formed after the split from STARS, Shirakawa was initially recognized by Iwatani as a STARS wrestler when she first joined Stardom. Shirakawa started with a winning streak but has now suffered four consecutive losses. Iwatani is considered the favorite, but Shirakawa will do everything she can to win and stop her losing streak.
Shirakawa extends her right hand, asking for a handshake. Iwatani cautiously steps forward, and Shirakawa strikes a glamour pose. When the gong sounds, Shirakawa stops and strikes a pose using the ropes. Unagi grabs Iwatani and locks her in an "icon glamour pose!" Shirakawa urges Iwatani on, and as she tries to pose, Shirakawa delivers a dropkick from behind. She then puts her in a hanging topknot. Iwatani dodges Shirakawa's charge, aiming for a corner attack, and delivers a dropkick. Iwatani hits a soccer ball kick. Shirakawa retaliates, and Iwatani corners her and stomps on her. From a body slam, Iwatani applies a camel clutch. Shirakawa tries to escape, but Iwatani grabs her hair and doesn't let go easily. Shirakawa hits a flying cross chop, a corner elbow attack, and a dropkick from the side. Iwatani hits a back kick followed by a low dropkick. Shirakawa retaliates, and Iwatani hits a diving foot stomp. Shirakawa dodges and slams Iwatani onto the mat, sending her outside the ring.

She attempted a DDT from the corner, but Iwatani pushed her away and threw her with a German suplex. Shirakawa hit a diving kick followed by a rolling elbow to the back. "I've got you!" she shouted, attempting a DDT from the ropes. However, Iwatani's shoulder rose. Shirakawa screamed, but Iwatani jumped on her and rolled her up. Shirakawa did an aerial body slam. Iwatani kicked out, and Shirakawa charged at her with a high kick and a spinning kick. Iwatani attempted a German suplex, but it was only a two count. Iwatani hit a series of thrust kicks followed by a buzzsaw kick. She declared it was the finish and went for the Dragon Suplex. The three count came, and Iwatani won. After the match, the victorious Iwatani struck Shirakawa's pose

AZM [4 points] |
8 minutes 55 seconds |
Takumi Ayaba [9 points] |
AZM and Iroha Takumi face off in a 5★STAR GP official match. AZM's victory over Shuri is a highlight, but she has already suffered five losses and is out of contention for the championship. However, her performances haven't been bad, so she'll be looking to pull off a surprise in this match against Iroha Takumi, who is returning to her former home. The two faced each other in a six-person tag team match at Korakuen Hall last September, but at that time, AZM's high-speed battle with Hoshizuki Mei was the main attraction. This time, it's a singles match against Iroha, AZM's junior. Iroha lost to Konami and drew with Kamitani Saya, but with a record of 4 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw so far, she can be considered a central figure in the championship race. This is a match where she'll definitely want to secure two points ahead of her final official matches against Hayashishita Utami at Korakuen Hall on September 20th and against Shuri in Ota Ward on September 25th .
AZM extends her hand and they shake hands. After some feeling each other out, AZM pulls her hand away, but Iroha grabs the ropes and won't let go. AZM tries to throw Iroha into the ropes, but Iroha puts her in a headlock, and instead of being thrown into the ropes, she takes him to the ground. AZM gets up, but Iroha doesn't throw him and keeps the headlock. AZM pretends to throw her, then puts her in a headlock, throws her into the ropes, and goes for a kick, but it's caught. AZM escapes and Iroha takes some distance outside the ring. Iroha looks uncomfortable. AZM taunts her, saying, "Come on up," and "You're slacking off." When Iroha returns, AZM uses the ropes to leap onto her and grab her arm. Iroha stretches out her leg and escapes. AZM prepares for a brainbuster. Iroha resists and delivers a powerful back kick and lariat, and AZM dodges and attempts a brainbuster, but is instead slammed down at high speed. After a struggle for the back, AZM charges forward but is hit with a thrust kick. Iroha gets behind her and throws her with a German suplex. A smiling Iroha climbs to the corner and attempts a Swanton Bomb. AZM dodges and lands a dropkick to the face and a vertical DDT. AZM stomps on her with one leg, climbs to the corner and delivers a diving foot stomp from above. AZM pulls Iroha up and charges forward. Iroha counters a hurricanrana and intercepts a triangle jump with a kick. After an exchange of elbows, AZM lands a series of blows. Iroha lands a rolling elbow and a knee kick. She pulls AZM up and attempts a running three. AZM dodges and kicks her leg up, hitting her head with a low hurricanrana. She goes for a Mystica-style armlock and locks in the arm to try and force a submission victory. Iroha reverses but only gets a two count. AZM dashes and jumps, but Iroha hits a powerbomb and a prawn hold. AZM's small package led to a back-and-forth exchange of pins. This went on and on until AZM delivered the Azumi Sushi. When Iroha tried to turn around, AZM grabbed her arm and rolled her up for the three count
AZM's comment
"I secured the three-count cleanly. The score is small, but I got the three-count on Iroha Takumi and Shuri. I think this victory will be a springboard for me going forward. Please look forward to what AZM will do in the future."

9 minutes 50 seconds |
Himeka [6 points] |
High-speed champion Starlight Kid has a record of 3 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw in the 5★STAR GP so far, keeping her chances of reaching the finals alive. Himeka, who returned to the tournament midway through after recovering from a back injury, started with two consecutive losses, but has now gained momentum with three consecutive wins. The two fighters have contrasting styles, but this is a match that neither can afford to lose if they want to advance to the finals
From below the ring, Kashima pulls Kid's leg and Kid delivers a dropkick. After a brawl outside the ring, Kid jumps with a plancha. Back in the ring, Kid tries to cover on one leg but it's not allowed. Himeka stops her dash and delivers a backflip, shoulder tackle and a series of body slams. Kid is thrown and jumps, but Himeka catches her. She slams her onto the mat and applies a reverse figure-four leglock. Kid escapes, but Himeka lifts her up.

Kid kicked Himeka in the face and climbed onto the corner, but Himeka sent her to the apron with a lariat from behind. Himeka pulled Kid up on the corner and performed a superplex. Both were down. At the count of eight, they got up and charged at each other, and Himeka hit a lariat, then lifted Kid in an Argentine backbreaker for a JP Coaster. Kid kicked out, and Himeka went for a powerbomb. Kid tried to counter but Himeka got in position for a Last Ride. Kid countered and rolled her up for a two count. Kid charged, and Himeka hit a lariat.

She put her on the corner and went for a running powerbomb. Kid countered and rolled her up with a Momo☆Latch for the three count. After the match, Kid showed off her mask, and Himeka pushed her away, starting a brawl. In the end, Kid put the mask on Himeka
Kid: "I've scored two points against that stupid Himeka who hasn't learned anything! Hey, winning the 5★STAR GP is still a possibility. I have two more matches to go, and if I keep winning like this, I'll be the one to stand in the main event in Ota Ward. And I'll be the one standing in the ring for the last time in Ota Ward. You all better watch closely. Goodbye, everyone!"
Kid's comment
"Being small is powerful. Being small is justice. And being small is beautiful even in the darkness. It seems Himeka hasn't learned anything. Being big isn't always good, and being big doesn't always mean being strong. I think today's main and semi-main events proved that perfectly. Himeka really needs to strengthen this part (her head). I'm in the 5★STAR GP, and next up is Watanabe Momo. I'm the only one who can stop her. Just watch."
