Following Koguma vs. Hanan, this time it's a one-on-one battle between Hazuki and Iida. Hazuki is an expert in high-speed wrestling, but recently Iida has also challenged for the high-speed championship, opening up new territory for herself. She will be looking to use her inherent power to break down Hazuki's stronghold and gain momentum for the title match, but... They
cautiously grapple in a collar-and-elbow lock-up, testing their strength. When Iida gets on top, Hazuki counters. Iida counters again, but Hazuki goes for a headlock.

Hazuki dodged the lariat and shouted, "Don't underestimate me!" before hitting a brainbuster. Iida couldn't kick out, and Hazuki won. Afterwards, Koguma and Hanan appeared, and Hazuki took the microphone.
Hazuki: "Just because it's a preliminary match, who scheduled the singles match? Seriously? Who? (The president) That's right, that's right. I thought so. I did my best in the singles match, so please give me a raise. Hey, Iida. I think you were more uninhibited than at Korakuen Hall, but Iida, you can do more, right? Aren't you going to unleash your Iida spirit? Are you all talk?"
Iida: "Of course not! Do you think I'm just a man of words? I only do what I say and act on it. That's Iida Saya, and wing☆gori."
Hazuki: "But what do you think of today's results? Both FWC members won. I want to take this belt. And you're also holding the NEW BLOOD tag team titles. If you want to beat us, shouldn't you study FWC's fighting style more?" "We're not going to lose that easily, even if you come at us with such a straightforward, no-nonsense approach
." Iida: "Ah, damn it. Wing☆gori definitely lost today. I think we were completely outmatched by the two FWC members. We may not have studied them well enough. But we, Wing☆gori, are probably the ones who watched their matches from the closest possible position as their seconds. So, next week we have another tough singles match, and then a six-man tag team match between the champion and the challenger, and then the Yoyogi title match, but Wing☆gori isn't going to be like this. We'll study FWC more, more, more carefully. We're just going to go wild and soar. We're going to wear that belt together with this NEW BLOOD tag team."
FWC proudly showed Wing☆gori the Goddess belt.

Nakano: "I don't have a wrench or anything!" '
Iwatani: "Referee, check it. There's a weapon in it. It hurts too much."
Nakano: "There isn't."
Iwatani: "Anyway, Kid, have you decided what you're going to do?"
Nakano: "Kicchan, Tamu is ready (holding up a Kozuen-style mask).
" Natsupoi: "Poi, we're mutually in love, aren't we!" Nakano

Natsupoi: "Ready to wear the mask?"
English:
Nakano: Of course. Natsupoi: I'm not sure if I'm prepared for that. But, Poi has a masked wrestler friend.
: A friend?
Natsupoi: I have a friend. I might be able to bring him along.
Nakano: Okay. So, for the next show in Osaka, the three of us will be teaming up, right? Bring him along. You have a masked friend, right? Do you really have one?
Natsupoi: I really do. I do, but I'll have to ask him first. But that's fine, I understand. Osaka, I'll bring him. Got it.
AZM: Hey, that's not important!
Nakano: It is important. AZM: Hey Kid, whether
you wear a mask or not, it looks like a lot of fun, but before that there's the ALL TOGETHER singles match, right? Is it really okay to be having so much fun? I won't let you get away with this behind my back, talking about whether you take your mask off or not. TOGETHER, I'm gonna crush you."
As AZM tries to hand the microphone to Kid, Seira snatches it away.
Seira: "Excuse me. Kid, Mei also wants to have a singles match with you. The Yoyogi card hasn't been decided yet, right? Yours hasn't been decided either, right?"
Kid: "It hasn't been decided."
Seira: "Right. Then please, let's have a singles match."
Kid: "Wait a minute, am I finally in my prime? OK, OK. First up is ALL TOGETHER next week, hey AZM. Are you listening? Next week is ALL TOGETHER, first up is AZM. And then (6/22) Yoyogi, a singles match with Mei, OK, OK, let's do it! As for Osaka, who knows what will happen. But I won't give an answer today, but look forward to my decision, that's all!"

Natsuko: "Kamiya! How long are you going to keep clinging to Momo? Don't think that someone like you can move the heart of Watanabe Momo of the Oedo Tai. You keep getting involved with the Oedo Tai every single time. I'm sick of it! I'm fed up with it. So I've thought of something. On June 22nd at Yoyogi, Oedo Tai vs. Queen's Quest, it'll be the final showdown. Oh, since it's the last one, we could have a rule where the loser leaves, or we could have a more spectacular disbandment of the unit. I'll leave that to you, Okada (President)! Make it spectacular. And don't forget the signing document. Make sure you have it ready by the press conference. Kamiya, you call yourself the leader, right? Get your act together. Queen's Quest might be disbanded because of you."
