Unagi Sayaka, Tsukiyama Waka, and Ryuka will face off in a 3-Way match. With Unagi and Tsukiyama from COSMIC ANGELS and Ryuka from Oedo Tai, a 2-on-1 scenario is likely at first.

Himeka's comment
"This is the third time I've had a singles match against Shirakawa Mina, right? Mina and I have been best friends since we were 20, but we grew up in completely different environments, so to be honest, she was someone I didn't even notice. When we fought today, I think she was trying to contain my power. But seeing that, I saw that the Mina who loves pro wrestling, the Mina I loved so much, was still there. But I bet she was frustrated that she was defeated by her signature move, the Glamorous Collection MINA, in the end, wasn't she? Let's be good rivals from now on."
Shirakawa's comment
"How frustrating! Hime-chan, when did you learn the Glamorous Collection MINA? Ah, it must have been Milano-san! Milano-san must be the strategist. After all, it's a move that you and Milano-san came up with. But that's okay, Hime-ka, you've been looking down on me and tearing me apart until now, but from now on let's go head-to-head. More and more. Next time, maybe a rule-breaking powerbomb? Or a Ligerbomb? Or I'll break your legs with a figure-four leglock. Ah, how frustrating!"

Comment from Oedo Tai
Kid: "Again today?"
Momo: "Again today?"
Kid: "With a bang?"
Kashima: "A miraculous comeback!"
Kid & Momo: "Yeah!"
Kid: "Two in a row!" It also means that I trusted Saki and entrusted her with this. I dragged those troublesome Giulia and Shuri down with me. I'm a bit dizzy myself and don't really know what's going on, but I'm glad that we were able to witness the first-ever 3-WAY, a historic moment, and since we've won the V1, today we want to crush DDM and God's Eye, the remaining Stardom units, and we're homegrown, after all. I'm thinking that we'd like to do the first-ever Artists title match between homegrown talents."
Momo: "I want to do something like that."
Kid: "Well, we don't know who the next challenger will be, and as Saki said, we'll accept any challenge. So if there's anyone who wants to challenge us, just say it. Well, we have the strongest Kashima Saki. Not just Supapapaan, but Momo and Kid as well. So, how about the most title defenses record?"

Kid: "Let's go for it. Hahaha."

Natsupoi: "Don't mess with me... 'Can you understand me?' You don't understand anything! 'twice?' I'm not the type to just back down after being told something like that. I will never give up! I will keep trying again and again until I surpass Tamu-chan. I told you I won't give up!"
Nakano: "Of course I knew that. I'll beat you to a pulp the day after tomorrow at Korakuen Hall so you won't be able to say those hateful things anymore. You won't regret it."
Natsupoi nods, looking downcast
Nakano's comment
"In the cage match, Nakano Tam won decisively. Seriously, Nakano Tam is the only one who understands Natsupoi so well, even though she has such a bad personality, is so clumsy, and has such a foul mouth. She knows everything about Natsupoi. There's no need for them to do it a second time. I know that Natsupoi won't accept that so easily. The day after tomorrow at Korakuen Hall, I'll make her experience an even worse hell than today. She'll get to fully experience Nakano Tam."
Natsupoi's comment
"Tamu-chan, you don't understand me at all. If I lose, there's no turning back? Those words don't exist in my mind. I've decided not to give up. I will never give up until I surpass Tamu-chan! In two days at Korakuen Hall, I'm going to crush you, turn Tamu-pudding into a mess. Tamu-chan, you'd better be prepared."

Hazuki: "I always knew that even if Koguma was the last one standing, he would definitely win. Thank you!"
Koguma: "We won thanks to the trust of STARS! Thank you everyone!! (Koguma crouches down) The foot stomp is working...And Mayu and Hazuki! How about we try another challenge? Mayu, it depends on the content?"
Iwatani: "It depends on the content."
Koguma: "Okay, no problem. How about our new challenge, thethreeof us aiming for the artist belt? I'd love that. Everyone! Well, it's probably coming somewhere!"
Kid appears
Kid: "You seem to be having a lot of fun, Koguma. Well, Oedo Tai welcomes any challenge, but even though it's a trio, Black Desire and FWC said they wouldn't do it anymore, right? But if you still want this belt ... the day after tomorrow, on June 28th , at the Korakuen Hall event, there's a Captain's Fall match, and Oedo Tai is in that too, so if STARS wins there, we might consider challenging you? But I'm not in that match, haha. So, that's that, see you later. Goodbye."
Hazuki: "Hey Kid, Black Desire and FWC are not doing this. But this is a trio, right? threeof you so it's not FWC, and you guys aren't Black Desire either. This is a match between Oedo TaiandSTARS. Right? We'll win the Captain's Fall Match and challenge you for the Artist's Belt. Thank you in advance. So, since STARS won today, can STARS wrap things up? But before that, Mayu, please say a few words!"
Iwatani: "Good evening, everyone in Nagoya! STARS, ladder match, cage match, we've come this far and we're the strongest team! I'm sure the artists, no, STARS, will come back to see you all again with various belts, so please come and see us again. Thank you for today. And to wrap things up, Koguma, please!"
Koguma: "Leader, I knew you'd come. So, STARS,the threeof you, no! STARS, the rest of STARS, get in the ring! Now, STARS will wrap things up. Believe in the present, shine tomorrow, We Are STARS! Thank you very much!"
STARS' comments
Little bear: "That was fun!"
Iwatani: "...It wasn't fun! It wasn't fun, but it was too crazy! It was too crazy. It was so crazy that why did I end up... jumping at the end?"
Koguma: "At the end, I went up. Oh, I realized that if I went down, I would win. Now that I think about it."
Hazuki: "That's right. If all three of us can get our feet on the ground, the escape will be a success."
Little Bear: "So, if I go down like this, I might be able to catch it. That's why I thought it would be faster to fly. But still, I wanted to fly from a high place."
Iwatani: "Well, was it fun?"
Koguma: "That was fun, wasn't it? Let's do it again. I'm sure AZM-chan had a great time too. She was laughing in the ring."
Hazuki: "They seemed to be having fun."
Koguma: "That was fun. Let's play again sometime when we're at the wire fence park!"
Hazuki: "But I was happy you invited me."
Little bear: "That was fun, wasn't it?"
Hazuki: "It was fun. I've never jumped from that height before. I don't like thrill rides, but it was fun. I want to do it again."
Little Bear: "Let's do it again!"
Hazuki: "I want to do it again! Invite me to play again!"
Little Bear: "Let's do it again! Let's all play together again!"
Hazuki: "OK!"
Iwatani: "..."
Koguma: "That was fun, wasn't it, Mayu-san?"
Iwatani: "Looking back on it... I think I'm glad we did it. These three have experienced ladder and cage matches, and they've grown so much, both physically and mentally. If we've won both the ladder and cage matches, then I want some proof of that."
Koguma: "Proof of the Three"
Iwatani: "Well, I guess it was good that I did it."
Koguma: "Our bond has grown even stronger."
Hazuki: "My trust in you has increased. It was really fun. I wonder if we'll do it again someday? I don't know, but if we do, I hope you'll invite me."
Koguma: "I'll definitely invite you. Hazuki and Mayu too. Right? Let's all have fun playing together."
Iwatani: "...It's okay, she's smiling."
Hazuki: "It's okay. After all, she's the one who did a moonsault from the ladder. I'll try a moonsault today too."
Iwatani: "Well, of course, things change once you step into the ring."
Hazuki: "As expected of an icon."
Iwatani: "I was really grateful that the two of them were the first to get me outside."
Koguma: "That's also a form of trust."
--Hazuki, Koguma jumped from the top of the cage, but didn't you want to jump too?
Iwatani: "No, I don't want to jump (laughs). These guys are the only ones who want to jump. I think I'm a normal person; the weird ones are the two of them (FWC). I'm normal. I don't think normal people want to jump."
Koguma: "Normal people don't do moonsaults from ladders."
Iwatani: "Well, if you join the Crazy Tag Team, you naturally become crazy too. In the end, I guess all three of us have a screw loose."
Hazuki: "I think so."
Iwatani: "That's certainly a good thing about it."
QQ's comments
AZM: "Koguma, that was so much fun. You really did it. Flying out of the ring, you're crazy. It's fine, it's fine. Once I've done it, I'm strong. I'll do it again and again, under any rules, with Koguma. Right? I lost, but it was fun, wasn't it?"
Shimi: "It wasn't fun at all! I'm never doing it again!"
AZM: "Huh... (To Kamiya) You said you wanted to do it, right?"
Kamiya: "Actually, I'm really bad with heights."
AZM: "But Phoenix is playing?"
Kamiya: "Well, but... But really, AZM is the most important."
AZM: "Only AZM?"
Kamiya: "The foot stomp is really amazing. I'll follow along."
AZM: "So you're coming along, that means you'll do it again. Well, we lost this time, Koguma, STARS. But QQ has overcome this, so please look forward to what's to come. It's not over yet, hey. I can do it again. I don't care if it's a cage or anything. If Koguma is there, I'll do whatever the rules are. So, shall we do it again together? Or not?"
Kamiya: "Shimi-san seemed surprisingly lively."
Shimi: "No, not at all."
AZM: "He said he didn't want to do it, but he enjoyed it the most..."
Shimi: "Well, I was just desperate to get out as quickly as possible. But looking back now, it was a good experience. Thank you. I'm fine now, I don't need to go through that anymore."
Kamiya: "I'm not good with heights, but AZM is really amazing at footwork and stuff. Seeing him, I want to continue doing it."
AZM: "I want to do it again."
Kamiya: (In a low voice) "I'll do my best to be able to do it..."
AZM: "I don't know about the two of you, but as long as Koguma is there, I'll meet up with you anytime, at any park. Even though we lost, please look forward to what's to come from QQ. QQ isn't over like this."
—There's a showcase next month, right?
Kamiya: "..."
AZM: "Were you attacked (by someone in the video)?"
Kamiya: "That's right. I was attacked by something like a mysterious grim reaper and knocked unconscious, along with Ogawa. I have absolutely no memory of what happened after that. Right now, I really have no idea what's going to happen next. But since I was knocked unconscious, I want to get revenge, so I want to expose its true identity and get my revenge."
AZM: "So, a showcase means it's made of wire mesh again?"
Shimi: "So it's just called 'Showcase,' right? It's not a cage wrestling tournament?"
Kamiya: "But according to information I've gathered here, it's something that's never been done before. It's a secret just between us, but it's going to be something new that's never been done before, so I think a new challenger is coming to Stardom."
AZM: "Don't write about it. It's a secret between the three of us. And now that I'm done with the wire mesh, I can finally focus on you, Komomo. I wonder if you can beat me after I've overcome the wire mesh. It seems like you've been working on a lot of things, Komomo, but it's turned into something I'm looking forward to, so I'm looking forward to it, Komomo."
