Mizumori goes in with an elbow, to which Ruanka taunts, "What's wrong? Come on, give it more!" Kogo's body attack hits Mizumori, and as Kogo holds her down, Ruanka delivers a senton to both of them and sends Rian flying with a shoulder tackle.

Saya Kamitani, who won the WAVE single league tournament Catch the WAVE, is defending her High Speed Championship for the third time. Her opponent is Mei Seira, who is aiming to reclaim the title. Kamitani wants to start a long reign by defending the belt from Seira, the leading figure in the High Speed division, while Seira has momentum from the official start of her new unit, so a thrilling battle is inevitable. Kamitani has declared that she will be seconding Maika in the main event World of Stardom Championship match, and as the High Speed Champion, she wants to support the red belt champion. Will this be the battle that reflects those feelings? Or will Seira reclaim the championship and start walking the High Speed Road once again? This is the first match that will predict the future of the High Speed division.

Kamiya knocks her down with one elbow, but Seira rolls her up, delivers a rolling savate kick, a lariat, and a missile kick from the second position. When Kamiya retaliated, Seira applied a sleeper hold on the ground. When Kamiya escaped, Seira went for a brainbuster. Kamiya countered, and Seira dodged a series of spinning kicks and delivered a savate kick. Seira intercepted Kamiya's leapfrog but ended up taking a foot stomp. Seira countered Kamiya's missile kick.

Comment from Mei Hoshirai
"I did it. I won the High Speed belt in Hokkaido, the place where I made my debut. There's something I couldn't accomplish when I wore this belt last time. I want to change the history of the High Speed world. Now that I've gotten the three count over Kamiya, I'm confident that I can achieve that goal. There are a lot of things I want to do, so please look forward to it."
Comment from Saya Kamitani
"Although I lost, the fact that I held the high-speed belt opened up a new door for me, and it became a good opportunity for me to move forward."

Comment from Mitsuyoshi Amasaki
"My participation in 5★STAR has been officially confirmed. Yay! It's my first time in 5★STAR, and in the same block as Kid from the same unit, as well as Shuri and Anno Saori, whom I fought in the Supernova Five-Match Series, I'm not the old Amasaki Mitsuyoshi, but Neo Amasaki. I'm going to cut through that and aim to win the championship! Yay!"
Lady C's comment
"I don't even know what to say anymore. Just when I thought I had completely won, I was somehow tricked. I'm not happy at all, but it was fun to have my first singles match against Mitsuyoshi. But Mitsuyoshi, don't be satisfied with just participating. You have to carry the weight of this on your shoulders. Can you carry Lady C's shoulders too? And the company will regret not letting everyone participate."

* Disqualification for using a weapon (spray) in front of the referee and for assaulting the referee
With Konami's return to Stardom, Shuri invited her to join God's Eye. The master-apprentice tag team with Konami won the Goddesses of Stardom Championship, but was unexpectedly betrayed, leading to this one-on-one match. On the first day of the Sapporo event the day before, Shuri openly expressed her anger. The one-on-one match against Konami is expected to be a dangerous one. With the Oedo Tai seconds expected to interfere with Konami's ringside, God's Eye will likely need to come up with some countermeasures.
Konami attacks Shuri on the ramp as she enters. However, Shuri gets Konami into the ring and the match begins. Then, the Oedo Tai seconds intervene, throwing Shuri out of the ring and attacking her. Momo holds Shuri in a headlock while Thekla attacks. Shuri fights back and delivers a knee attack to Thekla. Konami kicks Shuri and returns to the ring first.

Konami counters and slams Shuri into the referee, and the Oedo Tai members rush in, launching a series of corner attacks. Shuri separates them with a dropkick and hits Konami with a Codebreaker and a German suplex. Konami retaliates, and Shuri hits her with a stretch muffler. Ruanka distracts the referee, and Momo hits him with a bat.
Konami retaliates with a German suplex, a buzzsaw kick, and a Kamigoye. Shuri barely manages to escape, and Konami charges, but Shuri hits her with a high kick, a buzzsaw kick, and a Ryuen. Konami retaliates, and Shuri gets into a shoulder carry position. Konami sprayed something at the referee and assaulted him. Konami was disqualified. The Oedo Tai continued their attack and brawled with God's Eye. The Oedo Tai scattered God's Eye and then attacked Shuri. As the Oedo Tai left the ring, Shuri sprinted down the ramp to chase after them.
Akari's comment
"Konami! Oedo Tai! Remember this. I'll engrave in your memory what happens when you pick a fight with me!"
Konami's comment
"Did you think this would be the end, you fools? The fight between Akari and me has only just begun. Though the ending is always predetermined. It's the end with Akari's blackface!"

The previous day, on the first day of the Sapporo tournament, Natsupoi defeated her stablemate Saori Anno in a match against a fellow stablemate, achieving her long-awaited first Wonder of Stardom Championship. With Natsupoi now the new champion, the significance of this match will change. What are Nakano's feelings as she teams up with Natsupoi, the new champion of the white belt? How will the IWGP Women's Champion and the new white belt champion confront each other? And what kind of fight will Hanan, who has long aimed for the white belt, challenge the new champion? This tag team match promises to be full of highlights.

However, Meltia throws them both, and just when it looks like they're going to do a plancha from the ropes, Nakano loses her balance and falls. Regaining her composure, Nakano hits a Destiny Hammer, Natsupoi hits a Fairial Gift, and Nakano hits a Violet Shooting. However, Iwatani breaks them up. 10 minutes have passed. Nakano gets into a Tiger stance, but Hanan resists and delivers a back drop. Nakano delivers a back drop to Iwatani, and Natsupoi delivers a body attack to Hanan. Nakano and Iwatani exchange thrust kicks, and all are down. Hanan delivers a Famouser to Nakano, Nakano delivers a spin kick and a German suplex. Hanan kicks out at the last moment, and Iwatani cuts off Nakano's charge with a sling blade, and Hanan delivers a Seventeen. Iwatani and Hanan combine for a facebuster, and Hanan delivers a blockbuster hold. Nakano manages to lift her shoulder at the last moment. Hanan pulls Nakano up and goes for a back drop. As Nakano lands, Iwatani delivers a dragon from behind, and Hanan delivers a back drop, and after one more and a hold, the referee counts to three.
Hanan: "I got a three-count on Nakano Tam! I haven't been able to do well since Cinderella, but this win today is huge! I'm going to win the 5★STAR GP and become the girl of spring and summer!"
Nakano: "Who do you think you beat, Hanan? Nakano Tam. I'm not going to let you get away with this win. I'm going to make you a poor Cinderella."
Iwatani: "Good evening, everyone in Hokkaido! Hanan, you finally beat Nakano Tam. You should just be happy about it. Lately you've been making scary faces. Hanan is scary! Hanan's best qualities are her smile, her cheerful and positive attitude. You need to show that smile to the whole country!"
Hanan rejoices.
Iwatani: "Tam, are you ready for your first 5★STAR match? Are you feeling well? Are you feeling well?"
Nakano: "Has Nakano Tam ever been feeling well?"
Iwatani: "That's true. That's just like Tam. I want to get a clean three-count at 5★STAR and one day have this belt on the line against Nakano Tam. Well, well, well, I might just break your spirit at 5★STAR
." Nakano: "Don't say that first! Tam is the only one who can get a three-count on you and take your belt!"
Iwatani: "There's nothing more to say, Natsupoi. You became the white champion yesterday, right? There might be people seeing you as champion for the first time today, so maybe you should say something?" Natsupoi:
"Hello everyone in Hokkaido, I'm Natsupoi, the 23rd Wonder of Stardom Champion. Yappoi!"
Hanan points to Natsupoi's belt.
Hanan: "I'm not going to challenge yet! But I'm definitely going to take that belt."

*Maika failed in her seventh title defense, and Natsuko became the 18th champion
World of Stardom Champion Maika is facing her seventh title defense. Her challenger is Tora Natsuko of Oedo Tai. While this is a battle for the top championship, interference from Oedo Tai, who will be seconding Natsuko during the match, is inevitable. Perhaps anticipating this, Kamitani Saya, who formed a team with Maika's Golden Generation, has declared that she will be seconding her. For Kamitani, who is currently facing a Queen's Quest challenge alone due to Oedo Tai, cooperating with Maika is also a chance for revenge. Maika has already declared that she will defend her red belt and challenge Oedo Tai's Watanabe Momo & Thekla in a tag team match with Kamitani. Will Maika extend her number of title defenses with Kamitani's help, or will Natsuko achieve her first red belt victory? What kind of scene will unfold before the start of the 5★STAR GP?
EXV and Kamitani open the ropes to welcome Maika. The crowd gasps at Natsuko's blonde, short hair. The gong sounds, and amidst calls of "Maika!", both wrestlers slowly advance and engage in a test of strength in a lock-up. They grapple again, then break. They clash shoulders, neither giving an inch. Natsuko takes down Maika with a crossbody, stomps on her right arm, then delivers a hair whip, hooks her right arm on the ropes and applies a chokehold. She stomps on her right arm again, delivers another hair whip, hooks her right arm on the ropes and applies a chokehold, then kicks her. Maika dodges Natsuko's charge and sends her to the outside, leading to an outside brawl. Maika slams Natsuko into the audience, applies a headlock, and wanders around ringside. Momo intervenes, and Natsuko sprays water. Natsuko delivers a swanton bomb from the apron. Maika dodges and pulls her up, then delivers a brainbuster onto the mat outside the ring. Back in the ring, Maika delivers a corner lariat. Natsuko counters the lariat with an armbar, backflip, senton, and another armbar. Maika's feet reach the ropes. Natsuko hits her with a Cannonball, but only gets a two count. Natsuko shouts "Not yet!" and heads to the corner. Maika gets up, but Natsuko throws her down and delivers a Frog Splash. Maika dodges and heads to the corner. Natsuko also climbs up and delivers a Superplex. Maika gets up and delivers a Superplex. Without letting go, she delivers three more Brainbusters. Ten minutes have passed. Natsuko gets up and Maika delivers a Powerslam. Both are down. Maika tries a Sazanka, but Natsuko kicks out. Maika signals her finish and prepares for a Michinoku Driver. Natsuko headbutts, but Maika anticipates the charge and delivers a Shoulder Tackle. Maika tries a Flame Drop, but only gets a two count. Maika pulls Natsuko up, throws her into the corner, and delivers a Lariat from behind. She puts her on the corner and delivers a Powerbomb. However, Natsuko grabs her arm and applies a Triangle Choke. She transitions into an Armbar and tightens the hold even more. As Maika escapes, Natsuko delivers a frog splash. 15 minutes have passed. Maika counters, and Natsuko hits a hurricane driver. Maika counters, and Natsuko announces her finish and hits a swanton bomb. However, Maika raises her shoulder. Natsuko announces her finish again and lifts her up, but Maika punches her with her fist, and as Maika charges, Natsuko hits her with an iron pipe. Maika dodges and hits a lariat, aiming for a Michinoku Driver. Maika is dodged but hits a rolling lariat. Natsuko counters, and Maika climbs to the corner and hits a diving lariat. Natsuko counters, and Maika hits a Michinoku Driver. It looked like it was over, but Natsuko kicks out. Kamiya calls out. Maika pulls Natsuko up, crosses her arms, and hits a Michinoku Driver. Kamiya surprisingly pulls the referee's leg. Kamiya goes to the apron. Maika is stunned. Natsuko delivered a Death Valley Bomb after a poison mist. Maika countered, and Natsuko hit a Swanton Bomb. Kamiya remained seated on the apron. The referee counted to three, and Natsuko won the red belt. As the red belt was wrapped around Natsuko's waist, Kamiya laughed loudly.
Natsuko: "Sapporo, a new champion has been born! Maika, you are truly one of the strongest wrestlers. No, honestly, you were tougher for me than anyone I've ever fought before, Kamiya!"
Kamiya steps up and is booed. Kamiya slaps the downed Maika.
Kamiya: "Maika, I came here today to make you cry. Goodbye forever."
Natsuko: "How many years has it been since I joined Oedo Tai? The singles belt was so far away. No matter how much I tried to destroy the company, I thought the singles belt, no, the red belt, was still a long way off. But today, I finally got to wear it!"
Kamiya appears in a T-shirt.
Natsuko: "I have nothing left to do with Oedo Tai. Today, Oedo Tai is... disbanded. Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! You idiots. Listen, Oedo Tai ends today. From today, Kamiya, along with Konami, Thekla, Rina, Momo, and Ruanka, will form a new unit, HATE. Hey, get excited, you idiots! Are you watching, you fools who can only judge us on social media? From today, HATE will take over this shitty organization and become the number one heel in women's pro wrestling! That's all. Tremble in fear!"
Comment by Natsuko Tora
"Something I've always wanted. The red belt. With this, I can destroy Stardom, no, all women's pro wrestling organizations. As I said in the ring, Oedo Tai, no, from today I'm HATE. Just like the name suggests. I'm going to become the hate of the entire pro wrestling world. And I'm going to become the number one heel. Also, I think there's a league tournament called 5★STAR coming up, and I was assigned to Red Stars A, but I don't see the point of participating in 5★STAR with this belt. So I'm giving my spot to Ruanka. That's all. Tremble in fear."

"Kamiya, what about our promise to go to the 5★STAR finals? What about our dream of wearing the Goddess belt together? Did Natsuko say anything for this day? If so, Natsuko, you're really smart, damn it! I'll give you that much credit. But, I haven't given up on anything. Even if I can't wear the Goddess belt, I'll face 5★STAR Natsuko, and in the finals, I'll face Kamiya, and I'll definitely get my revenge for today. Natsuko, keep that red belt safe. I'll definitely take it back for you. The era of the Empress isn't over yet!"
