STARS' team of Hanan, Iida Saya, Hazuki, Koguma, and Kogo Momo will face off against God's Eye's team of Kashima Saki, Hina, Inaba Tomoka, Koryu Seika, and Yagami Ranna in a 10-person tag match. Following the departure of Stardom icon Mayu Iwatani, this could be a fresh start for STARS. Also, Hanan will be returning from an injury absence, and her team with Hazuki will also be restarting. It will be interesting to see how the combination plays out. In God's Eye, Koryu, who competed at Yokohama Arena, will be making a full comeback
When Koguma asks for anyone who wants to play Kuma, everyone except Kashima leaves the ring. Kashima is left behind, confused. The match begins, with Koguma and Kashima doing the bear pose. After dodging a high-five, Koguma sends Kashima back to the corner. Koryu comes in and charges, but Koguma dodges and does the bear pose. Koryu doesn't do the bear pose, but instead kicks him. STARS attacks Koryu, and all five of them dropkick him. Koguma forces Koryu to perform a camel clutch for a forced Kuma. Below the ring, Hanan grinds Tomoka and Yagami's heads. Mukou also performs a thrust dropkick while still in the bear pose. He hits another one, but Koryu returns. Hazuki hair whips Koryu and washes him in the face. Koryu hits a brainbuster, and Tomoka hits STARS with a series of double kicks. Hanan charges, and Hina throws a hip sweep. Hanan, Hazuki. With Iida down, Hina bodyslammed Tomoka on top of him. Hazuki returned the attack, and she and Koguma doubled in with dropkicks. Iida shoulder-tackled Tomoka and delivered a series of reverse chops. Tomoka delivered a series of middle kicks, which Iida blocked and knocked down with chops. Tomoka unleashed a spinning kick, leaving both of them down. Yagami delivered a dropkick to Iida, a thrust high kick, and a soccer ball kick. Iida dodged Yagami and delivered a jumping chop, then combined with Hanan for a back elbow sandwich attack. Hanan delivered a running elbow smash to Yagami. Yagami locked the arm and used a God's Eye to stop a STARS cut. Hanan escaped, and Yagami covered. Hanan returned the attack, and Yagami attempted a suplex. Mukai blocked it with a thrust kick, and Hanan hit a Famer. Yagami returned the attack, but Hina blocked Hanan's charge and slammed him to the mat. 10 minutes passed. Yagami attempted a high kick, but Hanan dodged it and hit a Famer. As Yagami charged in, Hanan hit a Blockbuster. When Yagami returned, Hanan warned of the finish and took his back. Yagami rolled him up, but only got a two count. Yagami attempted a high kick, but STARS intervened and hit a combined face crusher. Hanan then applied a back drop hold on Yagami. Hanan got the three count
Hanan: "I'm back! I have something to say today. First of all, I'm sorry for the inconvenience I caused by my absence at this important time. Even though I was absent, I returned and we were able to team up with STARS as usual and win. But in order to change STARS, I believe I need to take the lead. I would like to stand opposite you two, FWC, and fight alongside you two from now on. What do you think?
Hazuki is handed the microphone
Hazuki: "Everyone at Korakuen, how are you? Are you having fun? As long as everyone is having fun, that's all that matters. Hanan, do you want me to stand opposite you? That's fine. You and I have completely different ideas. You have no choice but to stand opposite me. Today marks the end of Hazuki and Koguma from STARS. You were like, 'Eh?' when we went opposite you, but then you said 'Oh.' We have the Spark belt, and we are a tag team that is highly regarded around the world, so I hope you'll look forward to it
Hazuki and Koguma leave the ring
Hanan: "These three will lead STARS Stardom from now on. Please support us!"
Koguma: "Today marks my official departure from STARS... I guess I'm graduating? That's how I feel. There are some things you can't understand until time has passed, and it's only time that will sort it out, so we'll just have to be together..."
Hazuki: "That's right."
Koguma: "Let's do our best"
Hazuki: "Now that Mayu is gone from STARS, I've started to think that there's no point in me remaining in STARS without a leader. It was because of Mayu that I was able to learn from her and surpass her closely. But now that she's gone, you know we've won the world belt and FWC is a tag team that's highly regarded around the world, right? That's why I think it might be okay for me not to be in STARS. I'll still be a part of Stardom, but I want to spread my wings and fly out into the world, and I want to see more and more of the world."
Koguma: "Yeah, that's true. Well, I have fond memories of STARS. Things got a little messy at the end, but I have a lot of fond memories."
Hazuki: "That's true for me too. Well, there are many seasons of farewells, and this season of farewells has just arrived. Don't cry. It'll be okay, I'll make you laugh some more. I'll entertain you. Let's go see more different scenery."
Koguma: "Yes, yes. Then please end with a joke."
Hazuki: "No! That's not what I mean by making people laugh! Please continue to look forward to FWC, Hazuki, and Koguma. We Are FW..."
2 people: “C!”
Hanan: "We're back! I'm sorry to bother you at such an important time. But today we're back, and we won as a group of five STARS. I've been thinking about this for about a week while I was on hiatus. Watching the two of you backstage at Yokohama Arena... I realized how different things are now, and how our feelings have drifted apart. But our leader is gone, and I still haven't made up my mind to continue as just the three of us, so I've been wondering what to do, what to do. But we have no choice but to do it ourselves, and our feelings are the same, so we'll all work hard, facing the same direction. I thought we could do it, so I decided to continue as a trio. But today, in an amazing match, the two FWC members really helped me out, and I've said that all this time, but it's true that I've been helped out, there was always a leader who pulled us along, and the two who supported him and talked to us a lot... it was really there. I wondered if I could fulfill all those roles, but I don't think so... But I'm not alone. Iida-chan and Komomo-san are here, so I thought today that the three of us would be fine, really. So, I hope we'll continue to get along well!
Mukai: "Yes! Thank you."
Iida: "Please do. Yes, I think the reason the two of them left was because they could see their own resolve, and also each other's resolve... I'm sorry... I think it was because they could clearly see each other's resolve that they all made up their mind and came to this choice. I can't express enough how much they've helped me with everything they've done for me, and we also had the trio Dokyuseizu, and I wanted to change Stardom with STARS even if it meant giving that up, so the three of us are staying here. So from now on, let's definitely change things together as a trio!"
Hanan: "Yes!"
Mukai: "Yes! From the very first day I came to Stardom, it's always been STARS, the six of us, and STARS has been all I've known. We have a leader called Mayu, and a truly amazing senior called FWC, and those three have really pulled us along to get to where we are today, and I'm so grateful... I have nothing but gratitude! But I also thought that I can't just rely on them pulling me along forever. So from now on, the three of us will protect STARS, and I want to become the kind of three who can lead Stardom! Yes, thank you for today."
All 3: "We are STARS!"
