Their opponents are the STARS team of Iwatani Mayu, Hazuki, and Kogo Momo. Iwatani has appealed to fight in the same unit as Kid, following Nakano Tam, so it remains to be seen how she will perform in this match.

E neXus V's team of Maika, Shirakawa Mina, Gina, and HANAKO will face off against Oedo Tai's team of Tora Natsuko, Watanabe Momo, Thekla, and Fukigen★ in an all-out 8-person tag team match. Two days ago at the Kyoto tournament, Watanabe Momo was approached by her former company, Queen's Quest. Having turned heel in Oedo Tai, there seems to be no reason for Momo to return to QQ. However, if this incident has affected Momo's state of mind, it could change the team's chemistry. For that reason, the coordination between her and Natsuko will be something to watch. Also, Thekla, who has become more ferocious since joining Oedo Tai and calling herself "The Idol Killer," is also a cause for concern.
When Thekla comes out, Fukigen blocks her and makes Shirakawa strike a "Desu!" pose. The match starts with Fukigen and Shirakawa, with Fukigen dodging and striking poses. At the same time, Shirakawa also strikes a gravure pose. Shirakawa then kicks Fukigen with a soccer ball kick. However, Momo pulled Shirakawa's leg from under the ring, sending the fight outside.
When Oedo Tai brought Shirakawa back in, Natsuko sprayed water and delivered a series of brainbusters. Thekla stomped on Shirakawa's throat in her own corner. She then kicked him in the face multiple times and tried to use her costume belt as a weapon. Pushing the referee who tried to intervene, Thekla delivered a back kick to Shirakawa. Shirakawa hit Thekla with a neckbreaker. However, Oedo Tai interfered and prevented Shirakawa from tagging in. Shirakawa landed strikes on Momo, Natsuko, Fukigen, and Thekla, separating them. Gina tagged in, dodged Thekla, spun around, and delivered a side slam. Thekla kicked out, and Gina delivered a thrust kick. Thekla dodged a reverse chop and countered with an elbow, a big boot, a kick to the face from the side, and a brainbuster. Gina slammed Momo with a modified fisherman suplex, but it was only a two count. Maika delivered a corner elbow and a shoulder tackle to Momo. Maika blocks Momo's high kick but is hit with a newspaper attack by Fukigen. Momo lands a chicken wing and is interrupted but goes for a B-driver. Gina interrupts and HANAKO slams Fukigen down, and Maika and Shirakawa deliver a combined press to Momo and Fukigen. Momo kicks out and hits a back drop. Maika counters with a lariat. Momo tries a high kick but Maika blocks it and hits a lariat. HANAKO and Natsuko exchange shoulder tackles. Tekla interferes and Natsuko hits a shoulder tackle. Shirakawa interrupts the Oedo Tai and HANAKO hits Natsuko with a corner body attack, a big boot and a knee drop. Natsuko kicks out and HANAKO goes for an Argentine backbreaker. Natsuko resists and HANAKO hits a series of elbows. Natsuko charges and hits a cross body and a cannonball. However, HANAKO raises her shoulder. As Natsuko climbed onto the corner, Maika cut her off and prepared for a superplex, but HANAKO joined in with a powerbomb. HANAKO slammed Natsuko forward with an Argentine backbreaker followed by a JP Coaster. However, Oedo Tai successfully broke it up. Shirakawa attempted a plancha to the outside, but Oedo Tai dodged it, causing an accidental hit, and Thekla then flew to the outside with a plancha. Oedo Tai attacked HANAKO one after another as she returned to the ring. Natsuko attempted a lariat, but HANAKO managed to lift her shoulder. Natsuko then attempted a swanton bomb. HANAKO couldn't flip the box, and Natsuko won.
Natsuko: "Was it HANAKO's JP Coaster? It got a little cracked. But you can't beat me with something like that. Oh yeah, recently, or rather every year around this time, Queen's Quest is making a lot of noise, but right now, let's just get on with the Artists already. What are you being so secretive about? It's already decided that Momo, Thekla, and I will win!"
Maika: "I didn't get the feeling that you guys wanted the Artists belt that badly, but that's fine, you won the tournament. On June 2nd at Korakuen Hall, we'll fight for this Artists belt. I'll prove then that winning the tournament and winning today was just luck."
Oedo Tai attacked EXV, a brawl ensued, and they showed off the belt they had seized.
Oedo Team Comments
Natsuko: "On June 2nd, at Korakuen Hall, it's the Artist Championship. Everyone's ganging up on us, not saying we can't use fouls or anything, but like, 'You can't win with your usual tactics.' They just don't have the vocabulary, they have no sense for the match, so it makes sense that we, with our vocabulary, our sense for the match, and our incredible coolness, should take the Artist belt."
Thekla: "This coming Sunday at Korakuen Hall, it's the Artist Championship match. What can I say, E neXus V is already ready!"
