○Saori Anno	10 minutes 33 seconds, Potering	Natsu-poo
Sakura Aya		●Kurei Sayaka

　This is a tag team match between two Cosmic Angels stablemates: Saori Anno & Aya Sakura vs. Natsupoi & Sayaka Kurei. The following day at Sendai Girls' Korakuen Hall, Anno will challenge for the Wonder of Stardom Championship, which was taken by Mika Iwata, while Natsupoi will challenge the winner of that match in Sapporo on July 27th. This match is an opportunity for Anno to gain momentum, while Natsupoi is fighting with mixed feelings, wanting to support Anno and also seeing this as a preliminary match. Anno and Natsupoi are also in positions to lead the rookies. The match between Sakura and Kurei is also one to watch.
　Anno volunteers to start the match, but Natsupoi gets past Kurei and faces Anno. They move away from feeling each other out and glare at each other in the center before both tag out. Sakura and Kurei enter and grapple for arms. After their dropkicks clash, Sakura's dropkick connects, followed by a soccer ball kick. Anno gathers Kurei's hair and performs a hair whip, sending Natsupoi, who is waiting in the wings, to the floor. Anno then throws Kurei with another hair whip and applies a camel clutch.

Kurei dodges and delivers a swan dive arm whip followed by a dropkick. Natsupoi slams Sakura into the corner, performs a hair whip in front of Anno, and drops a dropkick to her back. Sakura comes forward with a series of elbows, but Natsupoi accepts the challenge, shouting "More!". Natsupoi returns the elbows, dodges a high kick, and delivers a series of dropkicks. Anno interferes, but Natsupoi performs an arm whip and drops a dropkick to both of them. Natsupoi separates them and delivers a diving body attack to Sakura from the corner. Kurei delivers a body slam followed by a sleeper hold. Sakura escapes, but is bleeding from her jaw. Sakura knocks Kurei down with a series of middle kicks, but is countered with a dropkick. Sakura counters with a thrust kick. Anno puts Kurei in an Indian deathlock. Natsupoi interferes, but is eliminated with a brainbuster and the hold is maintained on Kurei. Kurei escapes, dodges Anno's big boot, and unleashes a flurry of dropkicks. Anno counters with a big boot and climbs to the corner, but Natsupoi cuts her off and delivers a deadly drive. Natsupoi and Kurei combine for a neckbreaker, and Kurei delivers a jackknife. Anno kicks out, and Sakura provides support with a thrust kick, and Anno delivers a fisherman suplex. Natsupoi cuts her off and exchanges elbows with Anno. They also exchange thrust kicks, and Kurei delivers a spear to Anno. When Anno retaliated, Sakura delivered a spinning kick to Natsupoi, and Kurei hit Anno with a missile kick. When Anno retaliated again, Kurei charged in and delivered a neckbreaker and a pottering. Kurei couldn't escape, and Anno got the pinfall victory.
Anno: "Thank you everyone in Shiga Prefecture for coming to the (portrait) handover event today. I'd like to do it in my hometown of Otsu next year. Please come and visit then, and tomorrow I will become a two-time champion (reclaiming the Wonder of Stardom title and winning the Sendai Girls World Championship). This was Saori, who loves Shiga Prefecture and her hometown!"

　AZM and Amasaki Mitsuyoshi, who have joined the new unit of Starlight Kid, Suzu Suzuki, and Seira Mei, will face Kashima Saki and Lady C in a tag team match. This will be a former Queen's Quest showdown between AZM & Amasaki and Lady. AZM & Amasaki are both 02line members and are also making their debut as a new unit. They are a team that continues from the 02line, and members of a new unit. How will that affect this match? Will they achieve another resounding victory, following their official start the previous day? Their opponents are Kashima of God's Eye and Lady, who has been teaming up with them frequently lately after being invited by God's Eye. However, Kashima of God's Eye is a cunning wrestler who is quite different from Shuri and the others, so will something happen when Kashima and Lady team up?
　When Lady offers Kashima a handshake, Kashima refuses, saying "Do it to him," and kicks Lady, telling her "You go." Then, AZM's team launches a surprise attack on Kashima. When Kashima went outside the ring, AZM complained to her second, Shuri, saying, "What's going on?" As the count-out got faster and faster, Kashima made a comeback. However, she quickly slipped back under the ring. Kashima returned and covered Amasaki, saying, "Don't rest!" Kashima took Amasaki to her corner and tagged in Lady, saying, "You go."

Hanan and Iida leave the ring.
Shuri: "We are the Goddesses of Stardom Champions! Next, on July 23rd (Korakuen Hall), we will have a title match for these belts." Konami: "
On the 23rd, Thekla and Watanabe Momo will challenge us as a tag team. No, even Oedo Tai, we will quickly crush them with our master-apprentice love and defend our titles, and we want to face every tag team unit in Stardom. To do that, we will definitely overcome Korakuen Hall with our master-apprentice love." Shuri:
