STARS' Hanan & Iida Saya team and Cosmic Angels' Natsupoi & Anno Saori team clash for the Goddess of Stardom Championship. This will be the fourth title defense for wing☆gori's Hanan & Iida. On the other hand, the challengers, Natsu & Saori, are aiming to reclaim the Goddess Championship. Both units are currently at a crossroads, and this match also carries the implication that the winner will become the regular wing of Stardom. Will Hanan & Iida win and become the center of the unit struggle, or will Natsupoi & Anno, who are entering their 11th year together, take the lead?

Hanan: "I beat Natsu & Saori! I'm from STARS... oh, I made a mistake. STARS is the regular army of Stardom, and Hanan will lead Stardom!"
Mizumori Yuna appeared and entered the ring.
Mizumori: "Is it tropical? Is it tropical? The match was tropical. Sorry to bring up tropical things in the middle of building up the tension. I've been trying to appeal to you all along, but I just wanted to tell you directly, so I came here. Mizumori Yuna and SAKI from COLOR'S, as Tropica Wild, would like to challenge for the Goddess title. Right? You two are trying to lead Stardom, so you wouldn't refuse now, would you? I really can't wait any longer, so how about next week, June 25th in Osaka, at Edion Arena?"
Iida: "Hold on a second. Huh? 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th...?" "It's so fast, isn't it!?"
Mizumori: "Are you feeling tropical?!"
Iida: "We're feeling tropical!"
Mizumori: "So that means...?"
Iida: "So that means... we'll accept your challenge. We only have four days left. We only have four days, but we want to properly defend our title. You guys need to be really tropical for these four days, worthy of a challenge. Thanks."
Mizumori: "With the bond of Tropica Wild, we'll use our double cleaning power to rip that belt off you!"
Iida: "In four days, we have a title defense, but we're tough, so we'll be fine. Okay, we're full of energy, so let's go. That thing from wing☆gori. You know what I mean, right? Let's go, towards tomorrow, let's go wild and soar, Wingori, let's go!"
Hanan: "That was crazy, the fourth time was pretty crazy."
Iida: "But we managed to win somehow."
Hanan: "That's good. The regular army, the regular army, what is it? I really felt that STARS isn't the only regular army, and what Natsupoi was talking about at Korakuen? I want to do that too, like Natsupoi. From now on, both wing☆gori and STARS will continue to rampage and soar."
Iida: "In Osaka, and then, unexpectedly, just four days later, Tropica Wild? Well, it's a bit of an unknown." Hanan: "
That means there won't be a preliminary match either."
Iida: "But it's okay. We won't lose. I know Mizumori has momentum right now, and I know she has power. I get the feeling she might be getting anxious, but I want to accept Mizumori as she is now. As for SAKI, she's an unknown quantity."
Hanan: "Too much of an unknown quantity!" "I've only fought them once before,"
Iida said
"And to begin with, this is the first time I've ever had
Hanan replied. "It's in four days, so we'll make sure we're well-prepared and defend our title properly,"
Iida added. "We'll definitely defend it properly,"
Iida continued. "In four days, let's go wild and soar towards Osaka,"
Hanan and Iida said. "Wing☆Gori, let's go!"
