Mina Shirakawa and Thekla are set for a grudge match. Thekla has been ignoring the love calls from Maika of E neXus V. Shirakawa, who has returned after a month-long absence due to injury, provokes Thekla. She demands a singles match on the condition that Shirakawa apologize for the confusion and pay the unpaid fines. This sets up a one-on-one match between the two. What kind of fight and outcome awaits them?
Before the match, Shirakawa takes the microphone. "Hey, Thekla. Turn all of your seconds, H.A.T.E., back inside. I'm also sending E neXus V away, so it's one-on-one. Don't worry, I'll definitely win." Thekla agrees, and H.A.T.E. leaves, leaving no seconds. As soon as the bell rings, Shirakawa hits Thekla with a dropkick, a neckbreaker drop, and then a plancha onto Thekla who has gone outside the ring. Thekla hits Shirakawa with a bucket as she charges. She then puts the bucket on Shirakawa's head and kicks her, and slams her into the ring post. Back in the ring, Thekla applied a sickle hold, an Indian deathlock, and a buzzsaw kick. When Shirakawa countered, Thekla hit a dropkick to the knee. Thekla blocked Shirakawa's attempt at a figure-four leglock. However, Shirakawa lifted him up and dropped him onto the mat on his knees. Thekla went for a figure-four leglock, but Thekla escaped. Shirakawa tried again, but Thekla rolled him up. Thekla went out onto the apron and they dodged kicks. Thekla slammed Shirakawa's head into the corner and dove from the corner. Shirakawa hit a neckbreaker, a rolling elbow, and a DDT from the corner. Thekla kicked out, and Shirakawa went to the corner. Thekla also climbed up and hit a superplex followed by a spear. Shirakawa kicked out, and Thekla went for a poison spider death drop. Shirakawa countered with a series of elbows and a back kick, Shirakawa hit a rolling elbow, Thekla hit a spear, and went for a poison spider death drop.

Shirakawa goes for a Glamorous Driver, but Tekla counters with an elbow. Shirakawa hits a lariat to the back of the knee and applies a modified figure-four leglock. H.A.T.E. interferes. Shirakawa hits Ryuka with a lariat, eliminates Natsuko, and hits Tekla with a back blow. Implant DDT. Tekla kicks out, and Shirakawa prepares for a Glamorous Driver. Tekla counters with an elbow, causing Shirakawa to accidentally hit the referee. Shirakawa hits Tekla with a series of strikes, shouting "It's over!" and going for the Glamorous Driver. Tekla appeals, "That's enough. I apologize, I'll bow down." Momo hits him from behind with a bat. Tekla takes the bat and hits him, shouting "Okada-cha tomite." Shirakawa kicks out, and Tekla announces the finish and delivers a Poison Spider Death Drop. The three count was made and Thekla won.
Thekla: "Thank you very much. Hey perverts. Did you see today's match? I'm not going to betray Bakkin and I'm absolutely not going to grovel. Also, I won today. So I'm going to nominate my next opponent in Stardom. My next opponent is Okada Taro! Match with Thekla, bitch. What do you say? Sounds good, right? What what what? (Okada makes a gesture of refusal) I thought you'd say that. You're a coward. But it's okay, I'm definitely going to make you rise in this ring, you bitch!"
Shirakawa: "How many times do I have to cry in Ota Ward? Last year, every time I came back to Japan, I had a special singles match with HATE and lost, and I lost again today. There's not a single thing I'm inferior to Thekla at. Absolutely not! The guy who wants to beat me, a wrestler, and challenge me next, who wants to fight, is Okada Taro? Was I just used as a stepping stone to fight someone who isn't a wrestler? I'm so frustrated. I don't know if what I've been doing up until now was right or what it all meant. I'm not a leather craftsman." Maika:
"It's okay. Don't cry."
