Initially, a tag team match between Mayu Iwatani & Hanan and Tam Nakano & Sayaka Kurei was announced, but due to Iwatani's absence, the card was changed. Kurei will face Akira in a singles match, and Nakano will face Hanan in a singles match. At the Yokohama Arena on April 27th, Nakano will challenge Saya Kamitani for the World of Stardom Championship, not only to reclaim the red belt, but also in a crucial match where the loser will retire. Hanan, on the other hand, will defend the Goddess of Stardom Championship with Saya Iida as wing☆gori against fellow STARS stablemates FWC Hazuki & Koguma. They intend to settle the issues within STARS through this match. These two will face off in a highly anticipated one-on-one match. What will happen after the match?

knocks her down with one hit. Hanan hits Nakano's charge with a hip throw, a body attack, and a running elbow smash. Nakano dodges a knee from behind and takes her back. Hanan counters and lands an elbow. When Nakano retorted, "You did it," Hanan collapsed. Hanan then delivered an elbow. Nakano retaliated, and they exchanged elbows. Hanan landed a flurry of blows, but Nakano countered with an elbow. "You're going to change STARS, right? You're the one who's going to change it!" Nakano said. "Don't mess with me!"

Nakano: "Hana, you have a great expression on your face. Right now, it must be incredibly painful, right? (Hana denies it) Oh, really? But it must hurt, right here. When people evolve, it always involves pain. You're trying to change now, that's why it hurts. You're going to change STARS, right? Changing STARS means changing Stardom. Fighting today, I'm really looking forward to seeing the determination in you."
Hana: "Right now, it doesn't hurt, and it's not painful. It's fun! I'm going to change STARS. You can't change it if you don't enjoy it. It only has meaning if you enjoy it. I'm going to keep doing this. I'm going to keep changing. I'm going to change Stardom. Watch me. Thank you so much for featuring me in so many columns and things."
Nakano: "Tam, you're going to change women's pro wrestling."
The two shake hands and hug.
Hana: "Thank you."
Hana gets out of the ring, bows, and leaves.
Nakano: "Hello everyone in space, everyone in Hamamatsu! Thank you for fighting alongside me again today! Stardom is amazing, isn't it? Tam's match is on April 27th at Yokohama Arena, and it's a loser-gets-retirement match, just two weeks away. Will you all come and fight with me? Will you bring your friends? I'm jealous that you all have friends. Thank you. Give me courage. Follow Tam's sparkling road across space, believe in Tam!"
"I'm glad that the card was changed so I could have a singles match with Hanan. Hanan, Hanan, Hanan is bright and fun-loving, always has a happy aura about her, pure and straightforward, like 100% freshly squeezed fruit juice, I thought she was the complete opposite of Tamu, but recently she's been struggling. But she's not struggling at all (laughs). She's having fun? Is that true? Her face has changed a lot. Hanan is going to change Stardom, isn't she? She's going to create the future of Stardom. Do your best. Stick to yourself. Even if you're told crazy things at first, if you stick to it, a path will open up, so it's okay. Also, I was actually supposed to fight Iwatani today, but I actually had something I wanted to tell Iwatani, but I'll tell her that once I get the red belt back from Kamitani on April 27th. For the next two weeks, please believe in Tamu. Believe in me (Tamu)!"
