The 10-person tag team match between Iida Saya, Hazuki, Koguma, Kogo Momo, and Hamabe Matoi vs. Mizumori Yuna, Sakura Aya, Kurei Sayaka, Lady C, and Yagami Ranna features STARS joined by newcomer Hamabe Matoi, facing off against a combined force of Cosmic Angels and God's Eye. Attention is also focused on whether Yagami will respond to Koguma's bear pose.
Koguma asks for "anyone who wants to do the bear pose." The opponents, with the exception of Kurei, go down to the ring floor. Kurei also goes down to the apron, but is the first to raise her hand when asked "anyone who wants to get promoted." Yagami volunteers, and after winning a game of rock-paper-scissors against Kurei, Yagami comes out. Koguma declares, "Before you get promoted, let's do the bear pose again today!" Yagami hastily makes an "X" sign and vehemently protests, "I can't!" Koguma asks, "Don't you want to get promoted?" Yagami punches Koguma, shouting, "You can't do it!" Kurei comes out and starts doing a bear pose with Koguma... Just as they begin, Lady and Yagami attack Koguma. Lady and Yagami attack Koguma in a coordinated attack, and Kurei also joins in. Kurei goes for Koguma, but STARS cuts her in and attacks in a coordinated manner, with all five delivering dropkicks at once. Hamabe hits Kurei with four consecutive dropkicks, and Kurei counters with a dropkick followed by a body slam. Sakura follows with a body slam, but Hamabe kicks back. Yagami shouts, "Matoi, don't do the bear pose!" and delivers a soccer ball kick. Lady performs a giant swing on Hamabe, rotating 14 times to match the anniversary. Hamabe kicks back and comes at her with a series of elbows. Lady knocks her down in one hit, but Hamabe counters with a dropkick. Hazuki hits Lady with a missile kick and a face lock. Yagami cuts her in and joins forces with Lady. However, Hazuki hits a Codebreaker on all of them. Hazuki and Koguma dive from two directions, and STARS, including Hamabe, all perform a face wash together. Then they all apply a camel clutch and force a bear pose, with Koguma having Yagami do it. Hazuki hits Lady with a swing DDT. Kogo hits Lady with a swan dive missile kick. Lady dodges the 619, but Kogo hits a body attack and submission. Lady escapes, dodges a charge, and with Yagami's assistance, hits a neckbreaker. Lady goes for a chokeslam, Kogo counters, but Lady hits a big boot. Mizumori climbs onto the corner and tries to jump, but Lady hits Kogo with a cobra twist. Mizumori gets back to the ring and hits a dropkick, pushes Lady away, and exchanges elbows with Kogo. Mizumori hits a dropkick on Kogo as a counter, and Kogo hits a dropkick back. Iida and Mizumori clash shoulders. Iida wins the exchange and goes for a brainbuster. Mizumori countered with a flying shoulder tackle. Sakura landed a series of corner knee kicks on Iida, followed by a dropkick. Iida retaliated with a series of chops, and Sakura countered with a series of middle kicks. Iida taunted Sakura and stood up after taking a series of middle kicks. Sakura also taunted Sakura and stood up after taking a chop, but was knocked down. However, Sakura dodged a jumping chop and landed a middle kick. Hamabe then interfered with a dropkick. STARS isolated Sakura and attempted a combined face crusher. However, Kozuen and God's Eye broke up the attack, and Sakura and Kurei launched a coordinated attack, with Sakura delivering a body slam. But Iida managed to counter. Sakura then applied a triangle choke to Iida. 15 minutes had passed. Iida dodged Sakura's middle kick, and Hamabe threw her on her shoulder, followed by a 619 from Kogo and a lariat from Iida. However, Lady made an early stop. Iida launched the Iida Rocket at Sakura. Yagami tries to break up the hold, but Hazuki intervenes. Iida aims a lariat at Sakura. Sakura dodges and applies a triangle choke. Iida lifts her up, but Mizumori lands a lariat and Sakura continues the triangle choke. Iida escapes and Sakura lands a high kick. Iida dodges and lands a lariat, Sakura dodges again, Kurei lands a spear and Sakura lands a high kick. However, STARS breaks up the hold. Hazuki and Koguma evade the combination and Kogo joins in for a series of dropkicks. STARS captures Sakura and lands a dropkick from Hamabe followed by a combined face crusher. Iida lands a lariat, and Sakura is unable to kick out, resulting in a three-count.
Koguma: "Iida, nice fight. But putting that aside, there's something I want to say. Yagami! Yagami, why did you become a professional wrestler? Why did you join God's Eye?"
Yagami: "Because I want to get stronger."
Koguma: "That's right. You're a professional wrestler, after all. You want to get stronger and climb the ranks. As a professional wrestler, you have to meet the expectations of the audience, but are you confident that you're meeting them?"
Yagami: "I'm confident that I am. I'm getting stronger and stronger, and I have a strong will not to do the bear thing."
Koguma: "What I feel in the arena is that there are more boos for Yagami (for not doing the bear thing). Right!" "Look, look, look, look, look. Everyone is most looking forward to seeing Yagami do the bear right now!"
Yagami: "I won't do it!"
Koguma: "Can you hear everyone's voices? This (do the bear) is what the audience wants. It might be a little different from Yagami's, but this is what they want. You can't get strong unless you overcome this. This week (January 25th & 26th), there's a match between Akari and Yagami against FWC (on the second day), and if you don't do the bear, remember what happens to Akari!"
Yagami: "I will absolutely not do the bear. Akari won't do the bear either. I will protect Akari from the bear. And even if I don't do the bear..." "I'm going to set an example for the world. I'm going to beat Shuri at Takadanobaba, break her spirit, and send her into hibernation!"
Koguma: "You said it. Tell Shuri that too. You never know what's going to happen. Everyone, please come and watch. (To Iida) Sorry to have kept you waiting. I won today. Sorry to have kept you waiting. Here you go."
Iida: "Well, I'm sure this bear debate will be settled next time by Hazuki and Koguma... Koguma will settle it properly, so look forward to seeing whether Yagami will get promoted or not, and what will happen to Shuri. Today is Stardom's 14th anniversary inaugural show, so the party has only just begun, everyone, let's keep the excitement going!"
