The Goddesses of Stardom Championship match between Hanan & Iida Saya and Hazuki & Koguma is a clash between STARS stablemates. However, Hanan and Hazuki have conflicting views on the future of STARS, so the match is likely to be a messy affair rather than a clean one. Will they be able to understand each other through the fight, or will a rift form between them? The fate of the belts, as well as the very existence of STARS, will be put to the test.

After the match, Hanan extended both hands, but Hazuki ignored her and left the ring. In the ring, Hanan and Iida were shaking. Hazuki left with Koguma. In response, Hanan bowed while seated, and Iida also bowed while seated. Afterwards, Hanan and Iida received the belt and trophy.
Hanan: "Third time? I've successfully defended my title for the third time! It was like facing a completely new opponent, I'd never been slapped or headbutted so many times before, but I managed to win. Thank you, Iida-chan!"
Iida: "There were a lot of things that happened at the start of this fight. But I think all four of us probably shared the same desire to change STARS."
Hanan: "Yeah, I really think so."
Iida: "I think we were able to talk things through in the ring today."
Hanan: "I think we talked a lot. It couldn't have been any better, could it?" She didn't shake my hand at the end, but I'm absolutely certain that we're all heading in the same direction, and I really felt that today after fighting. Iida and Koguma were also going at it really hard."
Iida: "More than ever before..."
Hanan: "I was surprised, I thought, 'You're going to do something like that from the apron?'"
Iida: "I just had to do it."
Hanan: "That's amazing."
Iida: "I guess we can only live in the ring. We can only give it our all in the ring. Because we're clumsy. We're clumsy too, so the ring is the place where we can express ourselves the most easily."
Hanan: "The future of STARS is bright! Let's make today We Are STARS? Believe in the present!"
Iida: "Shine tomorrow!"
Hanan & Iida: "We Are STARS!"
Koguma: "I think our role is over."
Hazuki: "Well, let's become the world's FWC from now on."
