The first match is a showdown between STARS and QQ . The question is how much of an impact Iida and Kogo will have against the reigning champion duo of QQ
While the two members of STARS offered a clean handshake , QQ only shook hands with their partners. When the bell rang for AZM and Kogo, AZM refused a four- handed handshake and went for a headlock. Kogo tried to throw AZM into the ropes, but AZM used an arm drag to confuse him and launched a dropkick, which Kogo dodged and returned with a low dropkick of his own. Iida then joined in, tying AZM to the ropes and delivering a 619 from Kogo + a double chop from Iida, before the two struck a drumming pose.

With only eye contact, Shuri and Giulia stepped out to face each other as the starting wrestlers. As the bell rang, they glared at each other for a while, then locked up in a four- handed grip, grappled for neck holds on the ground, fought for wrist holds while standing, and struggled for headlocks, engaging in a dizzying display of ground wrestling before a clean break. Shuri delivered a boot, Giulia booted back, and Thekla delivered a monkey flip to the flying Shuri.

Thekla hit Shuri in the face with a big boot, and Giulia and Thekla performed a formation of dropkicks on Shuri and MIRAI .

Thekla then attempted a brainbuster and elbow on Shuri, but Shuri caught it and delivered a Kakki Cutter. She tagged in Sorei. Sorei and Thekla exchanged reverse horizontal chops to the chest, and the heavy, dull sound drew gasps of surprise from the crowd. Thekla showed off a tricky move, dodging the chops with an exorcist bridge, then disrupting Sakurai's balance with a spinning heel kick and a joint kick before delivering a thrust kick to the face. Sakurai tags in. Sakurai attempts a big boot, but Sorei catches it and delivers an elbow stomp to the leg. Sorei then runs to the ropes, but Sakurai slides to avoid it, grabs his leg, and goes straight into an STF .

Sakurai runs to the ropes again, but Sorei catches him and delivers a spinning backflip. MIRAI tags in.

Sorei made a desperate save. Sakurai climbed to the corner again and attempted a diving elbow drop, but Sorei grabbed her from below and slammed her down with a Kamikaze, followed by a combined attack of MIRAI 's Wheelbarrow and Shuri's diving guillotine drop. MIRAI then went for a Wheelbarrow-style German suplex hold, but Sakurai kicked out at two . MIRAI attempted a Miramare Shock, but Sakurai landed on her feet and applied a modified crucifix hold. When this was also countered, Sakurai and MIRAI engaged in an elbow exchange, each pouring their emotions into the fight. Sakurai had the upper hand in terms of the number of hits, but MIRAI knocked Sakurai's elbow away with a lariat and followed up with a falling lariat. Sakurai tried to escape the pinfall, but his arm was caught and he was locked in a Miramare, forcing Sakurai to reluctantly give up. It was a thrilling victory with 37 seconds remaining in the match

The main event is an all-out rivalry match between COSMIC ANGELS and Oedo Tai , with an 8- person tag team match
As the entire unit of Kozuen gathered and raised their fists in solidarity, the Oedo Tai members complained when referee Murayama kicked the box brought in by Ryuka out of the ring, creating a stark contrast. Momo and Shirakawa went out first, and as soon as the gong sounded, Shirakawa charged in and landed a flying cross chop to get the upper hand, then shouted "Ehime Chance!" and immediately executed a Romero Special. The four members of Kozuen then used their versatile rope work to confuse the Oedo Tai members and attempted a combined dropkick, but the Oedo Tai members pulled their legs from outside the ring to break it up. Conversely, the four members of Oedo Tai unleashed a double dropkick from BLACK DESIRE , tying Shirakawa to the ropes and grabbing his face while the crowd took commemorative photos as a psychological attack. In retaliation for being reprimanded by referee Murayama, they ostentatiously stomped on Shirakawa's face. Kashima, who tags in, performs a body slam followed by a stomp and a pinfall, striking a pose. He tags in Kid. Kid throws Kid with a neck throw, grabs his hair, slams the back of his head into the mat, and delivers a low dropkick to the back of the head. He then runs to the ropes, but Shirakawa counters with a low dropkick that hits his knee. He tries to tag in, but Kashima and others interfere, preventing him from returning. Ryuka tags in and delivers a series of shoulder tackles to Shirakawa. Shirakawa throws elbows at Ryuka, who laughs loudly, but struggles to hit hard due to the damage he has sustained. However, when Ryuka attempts a lariat, Shirakawa retaliates with a hurricanrana-style Kawazu Otoshi and successfully tags in Unagi. Unagi hits Ryuka in the face with a big boot, a running back elbow, and a split-legged face crusher. He then runs to the ropes, but Ryuka counters with a flying cross body followed by a senton and tags in Kid. Kid knocked Unagi down with a flying forearm, then spread his arms wide and challenged him to an elbow exchange, shouting, "It's been a long time!" as he delivered a powerful blow to Unagi. Unagi roared and unleashed a barrage of elbows, taking Kid down, but as he ran to the ropes, Momo's dropkick came flying in, dealing unexpected damage. Momo and Kid delivered a sandwich-style Soumatou, and Kid attempted a Kitcherman, but Shirakawa broke it up. Unagi hit the two members of BLACK DESIRE with a double Codebreaker, and Shirakawa delivered a full-swing elbow to Kid. The two then executed a combined waterwheel drop, and Unagi attempted a guillotine drop followed by a Daifuhengatame, but Kid escaped and ran to the ropes, where Unagi countered with, "How about a drink instead of all that?" However, Kid also shouted, "Don't underestimate me!" and slammed him with a Fisherman's Screw, and both tagged out. Tam and Kashima faced off, with Kashima dodging Tam's elbow and delivering a hurricanrana. Tam then attempted a Big Boot, but it was dodged by Kashima who countered with a spinning heel kick. As Tam tried to jump to the ropes, Kashima grabbed her hair to stop her and delivered an uppercut to her jaw from below. Kashima went for a double arm suplex, but Tam shook her off and delivered a spin kick followed by a German suplex. Tam and Unagi then executed a combined back drop, and Tam landed a clean Violet Shooting. As Tam went for a single-leg crab hold, Momo delivered a powerful buzzsaw kick to break it up. A chaotic free-for-all ensued in the ring, with Tsukiyama being the only one to escape the fighting, furiously calling for a tag, shouting "Change! Change! Change!" and earning the right to continue the match from Tam. Tsukiyama hit Kashima with a missile kick followed by a series of elbows. He then threw her into the ropes and delivered a complete shot from the second rope. He then attempted another missile kick, but Kashima dodged it, and Tsukiyama was hit with a dropkick from Kid followed by a train attack from the Oedo Tai. Furthermore, Kid's pendulum-style codebreaker, Ryuakuka's complete shot, and Kashima's double-arm suplex came under a barrage of attacks. When Kashima went for another double-arm suplex, Tsukiyama broke the clutch and took her back, and Unagi's sledgehammer combined with Tsukiyama's German suplex. Shirakawa scattered the Oedo Tai members who came to interfere with a double running neckbreaker drop and a dropkick, and Tam and Shirakawa performed a plancha formation flight from the top turnbuckle to the outside. As Tsukiyama tried to pull her up after a cross-arm baba bomb, Kashima tried to turn the tables. Tsukiyama had anticipated this and countered with a schoolboy, but the count was only two . At this point, the Cozuen team rushed in to help, and after a quadruple heel drop by all four , Tsukiyama's Northern Lights suplex hold exploded, but Ryuakuka broke it up. Tsukiyama attempted to throw Kashima into the ropes after a series of elbow strikes, but Kashima caught his arm and, in a lightning-fast comeback, rolled him up for the three count .
