Hanan & Iida and Natsupoi & Anno will have a preliminary match leading up to the Goddesses of Stardom Championship match on June 21st in Yoyogi. As STARS undergoes a transformation, wing☆gori is solidifying their position as tag team champions, while Natsu & Saori are starting their 11th year. The intentions of both teams will clash before the big match. In addition, Yuria, who has become Iida's apprentice and will be making her first main event appearance, is expected to have a battle against her mentor. Yuria
nominated Iida to start the match, saying, "Iida-san, please!" As Iida came out, Yuria hit her with a dropkick followed by a series of chops.

Hanan hits Yuria with an elbow smash. When Yuria retaliates, Hanan traps her in her corner. Iida follows up with a series of chops.

However, Anno cuts her off. Hanan body attacks Natsupoi, Natsupoi dodges the charge and hits a double dropkick with Anno. Hanan dodges kicks from Anno and Natsupoi. After an exchange of kicks, Hanan, Iida, Natsupoi, and Anno are down. Kogo and Yuria enter the ring, and Yuria hits a series of big boots, which Kogo takes and stands up. Kogo sends her flying with a dropkick, but it's only a two count. Yuria lands a series of elbows, and Kogo counters with a dropkick and a 619. Ten minutes have passed. Yuria retaliates, and with the help of Natsupoi and Anno, Yuria lands a running guillotine, a head scissors, and reverses, slamming Kogo's forehead into the mat. Yuria continues with the head scissors, but Hanan breaks it up. In the ensuing scuffle, Iida lands a lariat on Natsupoi. As Yuria charges, Kogo lands a thrust kick, and Yuria lands a big boot and a running guillotine. However, Kogo manages to counter. Yuria grabs Kogo's hand and lands a series of big boots to her face. Yuria charges forward with renewed determination, but Iida breaks it up and the STARS team deliver a combined face crusher. Iida and Hanan jump to the outside, and Kogo declares she's going for the finish and goes for a neckbreaker. Yuria manages to counter at the last moment, and Kogo lands a Nectar Peach. Yuria is unable to counter, and Kogo wins. After the match, Anno snatched the microphone from Hanan as she was about to speak.
Anno: "We lost, but let me say this. Finally, finally, Natsu and Saori have appeared together in front of wing☆gori. What do you think, aren't we shining?"
Hanan: "We are shining. We are shining so much it's frustrating, but it is we, STARS, who will lead Stardom, and who will be the official army of Stardom!"
Natsupoi: "The official army. Does being the official army mean that we will be the faces that lead Stardom as a whole? I'm ready for that. And of course, we'll be putting the weight of our tag team bond and these past 10 years into the match. I'm looking forward to it. Look forward to it too."
Iida: "I'm looking forward to it. You two are shining. You've been through so much together over the past 10 years, your bond has deepened, and now you're standing before us like this. We, wing☆gori, have been through a lot too. We've climbed mountains and valleys, overcome walls, and now we're wearing this belt of irreplaceable, shining bond around our waists. Not just as a unit, but as a tag team, we won't lose to you either." Natsupoi: "
Bye-bye." Natsupoi
's team leaves the ring.
Kogo: "Well, I got the three count today, but someone spoke first. But, today was the first main event for the new STARS, and we STARS won! Earlier, you said you're ready to stand in the center of Stardom, but we've been ready for that for a long time! With this victory today, I think we've shown everyone the future and possibilities of STARS, the official army of Stardom. Thank you. I'm so happy that we were able to stand in the main event with these members today, including Yuria, who I've been training with recently. Yuria, this was your first main event, right? How was it?"
Yuria: "Yes. Fighting today made me realize again that I want to join STARS. But, I don't want to stay as Yuria who hasn't achieved anything, so I'll get results and get recognized by the boss (Iida). So, Komomo, please go for the NEW BLOOD Tag Team belts with me. I'm begging you!"
Kogo: "Thank you!" I thought you were going to say you'd go with the boss, right? I thought so too, but you're right. It would be a little strange to ask the Goddess champion to go for the NEW BLOOD title with you. When you nominated me, I felt Yuria's sincerity and determination. We've been training together recently, and through training together, I've really felt Yuria's straightforwardness and hard work, and I'm inspired by it. I also think that we can create a great chemical reaction together. Thank you. Everyone, will you support our tag team? Thank you. Yuria, let's go for the NEW BLOOD tag team belts together!
Yuria: "Yes.
: "I'd like to challenge together! Well, since STARS won today, I'd like Yuria to join us in closing out the show. Believe in the present and shine tomorrow, We are STARS!"
Hanan: "We won the main event! It was a great main event. I'm glad we won, and it was a preview for the Goddess Championship. A year ago when we had a match here, it was Wing☆Gori vs. Meltear, and that was the first time I beat Natsupoi, and we both said we would bring the belts back, and I'm so happy that a year later we've been able to bring the Goddess Championship back like this. I think it's fate that we're having a preview for the Goddess Championship here, with Natsupoi here too. Wing☆Gori will defend the Kizuna belt and come back to Numazu again!"
Iida: "Let's definitely go and show everyone that we're wearing the belts again." Kogo:
"Okay, can I call someone in now?"
Hanan: "Sure.
" Kogo: "Yuria
." Yuria: "Yes."
Yuria comes in.
Kogo: "I was so happy to be able to fight in the main event today with these members, Natsu & Saori and Yuria, and I was also really, really happy that I was able to get the three-count in the main event and close out the show with the new STARS."
Hanan: "And then there was a big surprise. I was so surprised. Can I ask it again?"
Yuria: "Yes. Yuria wants to join STARS."
Hanan: "That's great! That's great! But..."
Yuria: "Yes. Yuria is still all talk and gets ahead of herself, and hasn't produced any results yet, so at NEW BLOOD on 7/4, I want to win the NEW BLOOD Tag Team Championship with Komomo and produce results, not just talk, so that everyone will acknowledge me. Please."
Kogo: "So together NEW We want you to take on the BLOOD Challenge, and together with Yuria, we'll wear the belt and welcome you into STARS. So let's definitely go for the belt!"
Yuria: "Yes!"
Kogo: "Thank you!"
All: "Believe in the present and shine tomorrow, We are STARS!"
