Goddesses of Stardom champions Hanan and Iida Saya will team up with rookies Tetsu Akira and Hime Yuria to face STARS' Iwatani Mayu, Hazuki, Koguma, and Kogo Momo in an eight-woman tag team match. Two days later at the same venue, Iwatani and Kogo will challenge Hanan and Iida. What kind of preliminary matches will take place before the title match between STARS members?
Koguma is looking for people who want to be "Kumanchu." Yuria and Akira volunteer. Koguma says he has a good suggestion and makes them play a mysterious game of rock-paper-scissors called Shisa Janken. When Akira wins, he does a bear pose with Koguma. Then Yuria joins in and the three of them do the bear pose. Koguma says "Congratulations on becoming Kumanchu" and extends his hand for a handshake. Akira and Yuria attack them together. Akira slams Yuria into Koguma and goes for the cover himself. Koguma kicks out, then body slams Akira and calls in STARS. STARS focuses their attack on Akira. Hazuki gives Akira a face wash.

Akira slips past Iwatani and lands a dropkick. Iida delivers a shoulder tackle to Iwatani. Koguma interferes and tries to team up with Iwatani. Iida blocks him, and they all deliver a combined face crusher. Iwatani retaliates, and Iida stops his dash and delivers a body slam. Iida and Hanan hit each other with elbows. Iida charges in with a corner impalement, but Iwatani dodges and delivers a series of dropkicks and a sling blade. Hazuki hits Iida with a codebreaker, face lock, full nelson slam, and senton. Iida hits a lariat and a series of reverse chops. Hazuki dodges a charge, and Iwatani's team launches a coordinated attack, with Hazuki delivering a senton. However, Iida manages to counter. Akira and Yuria deliver elbows, and Iida delivers a shoulder tackle, but Hazuki counters with a double kick. Kogo delivers a dropkick and elbow to Hazuki. After an exchange of elbows, Hazuki landed a flurry of blows, Koguma made a cut, and Iwatani and Kogo performed a 619 together. Hanan flew to the outside with a plancha. 10 minutes had passed. Iida and Hanan hit Kogo with a combined face crusher. Hanan hit Kogo with a Famouser. Kogo dodged a corner attack and Iwatani assisted, calling out, "Komomo, hang in there!"

Kogo: "Momo Kogo has defeated Hanan! In the only Goddess preliminary match, I seized the opportunity. The day after tomorrow, I will team up with Mayu for Peach Rock, and we will win and take the Goddess belts currently held by wing☆gori. I will create the momentum for STARS! Thank you for today."
