The new unit NEO GENSIS, which officially launched with all five members present in Sapporo on July 27th, is a unit formed by Starlight Kid, Crazy Star, and former Queen's Quest members. This time, Kid and former Queen's Quest members will be competing as a trio. Kid, AZM, and Amasaki Mitsuyoshi will face H.A.T.E., also formed in Sapporo (July 28th). This unit, an evolution of Oedo Tai, will feature Tora Natsuko, Kamitani Saya, and Ruanka. At the Sapporo event, Natsuko defeated Maika to win the World of Stardom Championship for the first time. It was Kamitani, who was supposed to be on Maika's side, who assisted her in this. Due to this act of betrayal, Kamitani has teamed up with Natsuko. As this is Kamitani's first match since turning heel, it is a highly anticipated match from the opening, with everyone wondering what kind of fight she will put on.
AZM takes the lead over her partner and goes first, immediately facing off against Kamitani. As AZM steps forward, Kamiya slowly follows to the center. Kamiya flashes a defiant smile, and AZM dismisses her hand as if to say she's no match for him, then tags in Ruanka. Ruanka chokes Kid, delivers a shoulder tackle, and blocks Kid's arm whip. However, Kid responds with a hurricanrana followed by a dropkick. Neo Genesis attacks Ruanka in combination, and AZM and Amasaki sandwich him with dropkicks. As Amasaki runs, Kamiya pulls his leg from under the ring. Natsuko and Ruanka deliver a double shoulder tackle and body press to Amasaki, followed by a foot stomp from Kamiya. Kamiya stomps on Amasaki repeatedly, drives him into the corner, and, taking advantage of the referee's blind spot, stomps on his throat. She ties her hair up, taunts him with a flying mare, and stomps on his throat again. Natsuko sprays water on Amasaki and delivers a series of brainbusters. However, Kid breaks them up. Tensaki comes forward with a series of elbows, but Natsuko takes them and applies a standing sleeper hold. Ryuka and Kamitani prevent the hold from being broken up. Tensaki escapes on her own. Natsuko kicks Tensaki in the head. Tensaki counters with a dropkick and a DDT. Kid tags in and dives, but Natsuko catches him and slams him to the mat. Natsuko and Ryuka team up, and Kid hits them both with a hurricanrana and a dropkick. Kid hits Natsuko with a standing moonsault. Natsuko counters with a corner lariat, a shoulder tackle and a senton. Kid counters again and hits Natsuko with a Zero Fighter Kick, Natsuko immediately hits a lariat, Kid dodges and avoids a hip drop but gets hit with a lariat. Kamitani dodges AZM and applies a chokehold and a foot stomp. AZM charges in the corner but Kamitani dodges. Nevertheless, Neo Genesis combines and delivers dropkicks from three directions. When Kamiya kicks out, AZM applies an armlock to force him to submit. After an exchange of elbows, AZM collapses. AZM shouts, "Don't mess with me!" and delivers another flurry of elbows. Kamiya pretends to grab AZM's hand and delivers a spin kick and a series of stomps. As Kamiya charges, AZM hits a brainbuster and a high kick. As AZM charges, shouting, "Don't mess with me!", Kamiya counters with a double kick. Amasaki delivers a series of dropkicks to Kamiya. Kamiya hits Amasaki with a knee kick. Kid interferes and he and Amasaki perform a DDT together, with Amasaki delivering another DDT. When Kamiya kicks out, Amasaki goes for Tensho. Kamiya counters, and H.A.T.E. deliver a series of corner attacks, followed by a suplex from Kamiya. When Tensaki responded, Kamitani got into position for a Star Crusher. AZM made a cut and Tensaki went for Amanohashidate. Ruanka made a cut but Tensaki hit a modified DDT followed by Tensei. Then Natsuko and Ruanka hit a sandwich lariat and Kamitani hit a whirlwind kick. After pulling up the cover, she declared it was the finish and hit a Star Crusher. The three count came and Kamitani pinned Tensaki. Natsuko and Ruanka left the ring first, and Kamitani approached AZM for a stare-down. Kamitani left with a defiant smile.

STARS, consisting of Mayu Iwatani and Koguma, faced off against Neo Genesis, consisting of Suzu Suzuki and Mei Seira in a tag team match. Suzuki and Seira also team up as Crazy Star, but this was their first appearance as a new unit. Will something new emerge from their fight as Neo Genesis? Seira's performance in her quest to reclaim the High Speed Championship is also something to watch. The
bell rang with Koguma and Suzuki as the starters. They feigned a lock-up, but Koguma slipped past Suzuki. Koguma turned to the audience and struck a bear pose. Suzuki attacked her, but Koguma complained outside the ring, "Why aren't you doing the bear pose?" Suzuki got angry and chased after Koguma. Seira was lying in wait and, together with Suzuki, brought Koguma back into the ring. Suzuki delivered a soccer ball kick, Seira put her weight on Koguma, and Suzuki kicked her in the face from under the ring. Seira then hit Koguma with 10 consecutive dropkicks in the corner.

| Hinan | Small wave● | |
| Lady C | Rinan | |
| Yagami Ranna | It's Fukigen★ | |
God's Eye and former Queen's Quest members have joined forces. The team of Shuri, Saki Kashima, Hina, Lady C, and Ranna Yagami will face off against the Oedo Tai (now HATE) team of Momo Watanabe, Thekla, Konami, Rina, and Fukigen Desu★ in an all-out battle. The fight between Shuri and Momo & Thekla, who faced each other for the Goddess of Stardom Championship, will be a highlight, as will the performance of Konami, who betrayed her allies in the title match and defected to Oedo Tai. With the Shuri vs. Konami match in Sapporo ending inconclusively, this match is sure to be chaotic. In addition, there will be a preliminary match between Rina and Hina, who are certain to face each other for the Future of Stardom Championship. The tactics of the twin sisters will be a point of interest as they prepare for the title match in which the older sister, Hanami, will be able to break the record for most title defenses.
Kamiya will also be at ringside with Natsuko, chair in hand, to second H.A.T.E. Without waiting for the gong, both teams charged forward and the match began. The fight spilled outside the ring, with Rinami throwing Hinami into the audience. Fukigen brought Yagami back into the ring and attacked. Thekla cornered Yagami and delivered a thrust kick, slamming her head into the corner. Thekla then hit Yagami with a tarantula. Thekla and Momo kicked Yagami. Shuri broke up Momo's cover with a soccer ball kick. Rinami held Yagami against the ropes and delivered a dropkick. Yagami kicked out, and Rinami stomped on her head, saying, "Is that all you've got?" Yagami came forward with a series of elbows, but Rinami stood firm to receive them. Rinami knocked Yagami down with a big boot and charged into the corner. Yagami dodged and delivered a high kick and a dropkick. Hinami went for Rinami, but Thekla intervened. However, Hinami hit Thekla and Rinami with a hip throw. When Rinami countered, she applied a Manji-gatame (figure-four hold) to Hinami and rolled her up. Hinami countered again, and delivered an Osoto Gari (major outer reaping) followed by a Northern Lights suplex. Lady interfered, hitting Rinami with a big boot and a double neckbreaker with Hinami. Shuri hit Rinami with a dropkick, a knee attack, and a front neck chancery drop. Rinami stopped Shuri's charge and delivered a dropkick with an assist from Thekla. Momo hit Shuri with a middle kick and a series of brainbusters. Shuri dodged the third and delivered a DDT, a knee attack, and a standing guillotine. Momo countered and exchanged elbows with Shuri. Shuri landed a series of middle kicks, Momo dodged a lariat, Konami delivered a sliding kick, and Momo delivered a Soumatou (a type of suplex). Shuri countered again, and countered Momo's B-Driver with an armbar and then an armlock. However, H.A.T.E. broke it up. Momo delivered a high kick to Shuri's charge. 10 minutes have passed. Momo takes the back but Shuri counters with a German suplex and a knee attack. Kashima and Konami enter the ring. They dodge each other's moves, and Shuri lands a knee attack on Konami, leading to a brawl between both teams. Kashima kicks Konami and goes for the cover, but it's only a two count. Thekla hits Kashima with the belt from her costume, and H.A.T.E. launches a series of corner attacks. Konami tries to pin her, but Shuri breaks it up. Konami goes for a Triangle Lancer on Kashima. Kashima tries to turn the tide, but Thekla breaks it up. Lady and Hinami team up, but Fukigen dodges and Thekla lands a spear. Konami and Shuri exchange high kicks. Momo hits Shuri with a bat. Konami lands a thrust kick on Kashima, but it's only a two count. Konami signals her finish and goes for the Kamigoye. Kashima counters and rolls her up for the three count. Once the match is decided, both teams start a brawl.
Kashima: "Hey Konami. No matter what you do, I'm not running away! I'll always be by Shuri's side and protect her, and I won't run away from you guys."
Shuri: "Konami, I won't let you get away. Look forward to it."
Kashima: "Shuri, I won't run away from them. But in return, if anything happens, please protect me."
Hinami: "Hey Rinami, when are we going to do Future? I'm ready."
H.A.T.E. leaves the ring, but Rinami returns.
Rina: "Shut up. (Gets into the ring) Here we go. When should we do the Future title match? Well, I have the record for most title defenses on the line, and Utsunomiya (August 12th) is good, but we haven't participated in the 5★STAR GP, so why not do it on the day of the 5★STAR GP finals (August 31st)? But don't think you can win this belt by joining such a pathetic unit."
Hina: "There's something I've been vague about for a while now. I left QQ and have been working with God's Eye until today, and I wanted to get stronger with God's Eye. I want to win the Future belt and make God's Eye even stronger. I want to be included in God's Eye."
Lady: "I also want to fight alongside God's Eye. What do you say?"
Kashima: "You just said you'd join on impulse. What's your goal?" Instead of Akari answering, I'll say no."
Lady: "Certainly, at that time, I might have been angry and impulsively said I wanted to join God's Eye. But let me say this properly now. I believe that God's Eye is a unit that is more straightforward and serious about pro wrestling than any other. I want to do more and more pro wrestling with such a unit. I want to become stronger and stronger. I want to go beyond my limits. Please!"
Akari: "Saki, after hearing what you just said, I want to do God's Eye with these two. What do you think, Saki?"
Kashima: "Hina, thank you, you're very welcome. Lady, you'll start as a baggage carrier."
Akari: "Ranna, is that okay?"
Yagami: "I believe that what Akari says is absolute, so I'm very happy to have you."
Akari: "I think (Sora) Ami, (Inaba) Tomoka, and Nanami will also welcome you. New members, Hina and Lady. You're all great, aren't you! With two new members joining, God's Eye will gain momentum. We ask for your continued support!"

* Maika-gumi failed in their third title defense, and Nakano-gumi became the 33rd champions
The Artist of Stardom Championship, held by E neXus V's Maika, Shirakawa Mina, and Gina, will be challenged by Cosmic Angels' Nakano Tam, Anno Saori, and Natsupoi. Maika, who held two titles until the two-day Sapporo event, lost the World of Stardom Championship to Tora Natsuko in the main event on the final day. Therefore, this match will be a chance for Maika to make a fresh start. On the other hand, the challengers, Natsupoi, won her first Wonder of Stardom Championship by defeating her stablemate Anno. Although Anno has lost both titles, she still holds the Sendai Girls' World Championship, so Natsupoi and Anno will challenge for a new double championship as singles champions. Furthermore, the match between Anno and Natsupoi has been a great source of motivation for leader Nakano, and winning the Artist of Stardom Championship as the Cosmic Angels Best Trio is her top priority. The outcome of this match is likely to influence the flow of the second half of this year.
Before the bell, Kozuen launched a surprise attack, splitting the champions. The trio attacked Shirakawa, and Anno went for the cover.

Gina said "More, more" and let her hit him with elbows, then did a chop. Nakano dodged a charge and did a dropkick to Gina. Anno did a dropkick to Gina. Maika interferes, but Anno hits Maika with a neckbreaker, Gina with an Indian deathlock, and Shirakawa with a brainbuster. Gina escapes and Anno hits her with a spinning side slam. Anno kicks out and Gina hits her with a series of chops and a double arm suplex. Maika hits Anno with a running lariat and a shoulder tackle. Anno counters the brainbuster and exchanges kicks with Maika. Maika counters with a powerslam. Anno hits a German suplex. Natsupoi hits Maika with a neckbreaker, a hurricanrana, and a modified Manji-gatame. Maika escapes and Natsupoi hits her with a dropkick and a diving body attack.

Maika hits her with a running lariat and a shoulder tackle. She calls in Shirakawa and they perform a combined body press. Natsupoi withstands a brainbuster and applies a neck lock, but Maika forcefully throws her out. Natsupoi lands a thrust kick, Maika a lariat, and Natsupoi a throwaway German suplex. 10 minutes have passed. Both are down and tag out. Nakano and Shirakawa exchange elbows. Nakano lands a series of blows, and Shirakawa collapses. Shirakawa retaliates with an elbow. Nakano retaliates, and they exchange elbows again. Kozuen works together, and Nakano delivers a back drop. Shirakawa counters, and Nakano takes her back. Shirakawa counters with an elbow, hits Anno with a DDT, and they combine for an EXV Venus Tower. Gina hits Nakano with a thrust kick, and Shirakawa with a missile kick. Gina hits Nakano with a series of shoulder tackles, elbows, and a back kick. She dodges Nakano's charge and lands a high kick, slams her head into the corner, and delivers a neckbreaker. When Nakano retaliates, Gina delivers a chop, a kick to the face, and a Northern Lights suplex. Nakano retaliates, and 15 minutes have passed. Nakano dodges a charge, and Kozuen joins forces, with Nakano and Natsupoi delivering thrust kicks. As Nakano and Natsupoi climb to the corner, Maika attempts a superplex on all of them. Anno stops them, and Shirakawa grabs Anno's leg in a rolling prawn hold and slams them all down. Shirakawa and Gina join forces with knees. Gina attempts a double German suplex on Nakano, but Kozuen successfully breaks it up. Gina attempts an Argentine backbreaker on Nakano. Nakano counters with a spin kick and rolls her up. Gina kicks out, and Kozuen and her team deliver thrust kicks and a series of throws. Gina counters Nakano's Tiger Suplex, and Nakano attempts a Violet Screwdriver. Gina counters, but is cut off. Cozuen and Gina delivered a heel drop as a trio, followed by Nakano's Violet Screwdriver. Gina was unable to kick out, and Nakano got the three count.
Nakano: "Hello everyone in the universe, and everyone in Hamamatsu! We have become the Artist of Stardom Champions! Mina, you have met the best teammates, thank you."
Shirakawa: "I just can't beat Kozuen when it matters most! Why can't I win? I have met the best teammates, and with this best trio, if we don't beat the best trio, I'm meaningless. It's frustrating. Every time I hear Nakano Tam's song playing after a loss, it hurts so much I feel like I'm going to break! But I will definitely get revenge for everything. Kozuen took the white belt, the Goddess belt, and the Artist of Stardom title. But I will definitely go and get revenge for everything. I lost, but there is one more thing I want to tell all the fans, is that okay? Anyway, when we started EXV, we started with the dream of bringing Stardom to the world, to the world. That's why Kozuen is also talking about the world, to the world. The new unit (Neo Genesis) is also talking about making the world a buzz. But I think the only one who can really bring Stardom to the world is E It's only neXus V! Fans, I won't be in the 5★STAR GP. I'm sorry to disappoint you. But Shirakawa Mina will experience and absorb all sorts of things in America, and EXV will spread Stardom to the world."
Maika hugs Shirakawa.
Maika: "So, Shirakawa is going to the world. I'll be keeping things exciting domestically, so Shirakawa, go and give it your all."
Shirakawa lightly taps Nakano's belt and leaves the ring.
Nakano: "E neXus V are the best teammates. Cosmic Angels are the best teammates! Tamune really loves Stardom. That's why I think our top-class trio is at the forefront of Stardom. We'll fight and take everyone to the best view. Right?"
Anno: "That's right. Stardom will be fine. We're here, so there's no problem." Natsupoi:
"Tam-chan, you're not faking tears today."
Nakano: "I'm never faking tears!"
Natsupoi: "Of course, I have no basis for it, but I'm confident!"
Nakano: "I like that. Our top-class trio will make you the happiest in the universe! Ladies and gentlemen, may I have attention please. Welcome aboard, Cosmic Angels!" Let me introduce today's crew. The absolutely indomitable girl, Saori Anno. The high-speed fairy, Natsupoi. The cutest in the universe, Tam Nakano. We are super delicious, we are the best. We are number one. We and you are delicious, mmm yummy!
H.A.T.E. bursts in and attacks Kozuen. Kamitani body slams Nakano, and
Natsuko stomps on her with one leg. "What's so delicious about you, you idiot. Hey, it's your turn next, Tam Nakano. Oh yeah, that's right. Around this time last year, you broke your leg, didn't you?"
Natsuko puts a chair between Nakano's legs and hits her with a bat, destroying her left knee.
Natsuko: "Not yet, Tam Nakano!"
Kamitani holds her down, and Natsuko cuts Nakano's hair. Meanwhile, Thekla traps Natsupoi, and Momo traps Anno in the corner.
Natsuko: "How long do you plan on being an idol? Hey, Tekura."
Tekura: "Everyone, you perverted dancers. Beautiful idols, a war is about to begin. H.A.T.E. is here. HAT E.
Harass, abuse, terrorize, eradicate! Feel the H.A.T.E.!"
Natsuko: "Earlier you were talking about going global or something, but I don't want people who can't be number one in Japan talking about the world. Think about the world after you've become number one in Japan! We, H.A.T.E., are the number one heel unit in Japan, no, in the world of women's professional wrestling. We will definitely become that, and this is a stepping stone to that! Nakano Tam."
Amidst boos, H.A.T.E. leaves the ring.
Nakano: "Natsuko! Kamiya... We will never let you do whatever you want! We will protect Stardom!"
Comments from Saori Anno, Tam Nakano, and Natsupoi
Nakano: "Natchan, Saori-chan, I'm sorry. I think we probably all feel the same way, but we really love Stardom, we want to protect Stardom, and we believe that the three of us can do it. I realized that again today after winning this belt. Okada, Okataro (the president) said that the goal is to fill Korakuen Hall to capacity, but when I heard that, I was really frustrated! Because it was already full, wasn't it? I think that's nothing compared to what we can do. I think the three of us can take Stardom to the Tokyo Dome. What do you think?"
Anno: "We can. Because that's what we've been working towards. We promised to do it. We made that promise again today, with this belt. It's the first time the three of us have challenged for it together, and we've won and achieved results. We can do it. Who do you believe in? Our teammates, of course. It's okay, we can do it. We can do it."
Nakano: "Hey, what's going on with your hair?" "Hey, isn't it gone?"
Natsupoi: "It's gone. It's gone."
Anno: "Why cut it off like this? Why?"
Nakano: "I absolutely don't want to lose to Natsuko either. I won't let those guys do whatever they want! Let's protect Stardom... We'll protect it. Is it too short? Ugly?"
Anno laughs.
Natsupoi: "Just barely safe."
Nakano: "What are you laughing at? What do you mean, just barely safe? I was growing it out."
Natsupoi: "I knew Tamu-chan took good care of her hair, so I'm really disappointed. But I think Tamu-chan can definitely make it look cute."
Nakano: "What are you laughing at!"
Anno: "It's okay, you're cute no matter what you look like. You're the cutest in the universe no matter what you look like, right? You can just grow your hair out again. It'll grow out again."
Nakano: "But I protected it by cutting it?"
Anno: "I did."
Nakano: "I grew it out, and it's come this far."
Anno: "You can just grow it out again. I'll be with you until it grows out."
: "And I'll be with you even after it grows out..."
Anno: "Yes. Okay, let's move on to the next thing. This is where we start. Because what kind of trio are we?"
Nakano & Natsupoi: "The best!"
