This is a 12-person tag team match between Hanan, Iida Saya, Natsupoi, Anno Saori, Starlight Kid, and AZM against Tora Natsuko, Kamitani Saya, Watanabe Momo, Konami, Ruanka, and Fukigen Desu★. STARS, Cosmic Angels, and Neo Genesis have formed an alliance to face H.A.T.E. This match is a prelude to a title match. Kamitani and Natsupoi are scheduled to compete for the World of Stardom Championship on July 21st in Sapporo, while Natsuko and Ruanka have challenged Hanan and Iida for the Goddess Championship. Additionally, Kid has requested Anno to be her opponent in her Wonder of Stardom Championship defense, but hasn't received a positive response yet. On this day, Kid & AZM (and Mitsuyoshi Amasaki) were scheduled to defend their Artist of Stardom Championship against Konami, Rina & Fukigen, but the match was changed due to Rina's absence. Although the Artist of Stardom match at this event has been canceled, it will undoubtedly be rescheduled once Rina returns. For Kid & AZM and Konami & Fukigen, this will be a battle leading up to that day
After the call, Natsupoi and Kamiya stared each other down. AZM and Fukigen started the match, with Fukigen striking a pose. AZM took the opponent to the ropes, and they exchanged roll-up attempts.

Natsuko sprayed Anno with water, chased her into her corner, and repeatedly punched her in the head before delivering a brainbuster. She then slammed her onto the mat with a hair whip. Momo followed with a hair whip, and Kid and AZM also chased Anno into the corner and stomped on her. When the referee tried to stop the fight, Konami yelled, "Shut up, you old geezer!" paying homage to Rinami. Konami and Momo attempted a spear attack, but Anno dodged and delivered a missile kick. Anno then hit Konami with a neckbreaker. Kid performed a 619 followed by a hurricanrana. Natsuko and Kamitani interfered, but Kid eliminated them both with a hurricanrana.

Natsupoi: (Looking into her face) Kamiya... You're not crying today. I'm going to take this belt from you no matter what. And I'm ready to become the light that shines on everyone
Kamiya: "You know, you're always whining and complaining, you're such a boring woman! Ugly! Ugly! Ugly!"
Ruika: "Hey, wing☆gori, I have something to tell you guys today. This Goddess match will take place on the day I want. It's decided, July 24th, here at Korakuen Hall."
HATE has left the field
Iida: "You're being selfish. Hey, fine, I'll accept the challenge. On July 24th here at Korakuen Hall, I will firmly defend the Goddess title. I won't let HATE have their way."
Anno: "Kid, thank you for calling me every day despite my complicated situation. I still don't know if I'm worthy of being your opponent. But I want to wear the belt again, the belt I lost last year. Kid, let's fight."
When Anno offered a bouquet of blue roses, Kid accepted it
Kid: "Hmm, thanks! Hahaha. Where did I drop the belt? Well, in Sapporo... (lifts Anno's chin) Is that okay?"
Anno: "(Lifting Kid's chin) That's right."
AZM: "Well, I guess I'll say something too. To be honest, I wanted to defend my Artist title in the main event today and get on the mic, but I want to fight against the energetic and sassy Rinami, Konami and Fukigen. Hey Rinami, are you watching? I'll wait for you to come back before defending my title. So get well soon. And and and, hey Bojira! Hey, you're in there, come out!"
Bozilla appears
AZM: "I heard you on the mic. You want to do a STRONG (women's) match? Okay, then... No (swatting away Bozilla's hand as he tries to touch the belt), I'll defend your title here at Korakuen Hall on July 24th."
Bozilla: "AZM, next Cola Quen Hall, you and me, for the New Japan Strong Women's Championship, you said yes!"
AZM: "Okay, I get what you're trying to say. I get it, but Bozilla, don't underestimate Stardom."
Natsupoi: "So many different people have come out in a dizzying way, but no matter what happens, Stardom will always shine a light on everyone. We will never lose. Can we all wrap things up together today? Everyone, get ready to make an S shape. Here we go. Believe in the present and shine tomorrow, We are Stardom!"
Hana: "Today it's Baby vs. HATE. We've teamed up with six people, which is a lot. And my Goddess title defense match has been decided. On July 24th at Korakuen Hall, I'll be up against Ryuka and Tora Natsuko. They're incredibly tough opponents...but I'll definitely defend the title, and the 5★STAR GP is starting soon. As the Goddess champion, I want to make sure I have a good record in singles matches as well."
Iida: "Yes. Let's keep both of us connected. Moving towards tomorrow."
Hanan: "Rampage and soar!"
Hanan & Iida: "Windori, let's go!"
Natsupoi: "Today we had tag teams, tag teams, and more tag teams combined, which was unusual, but somehow it felt just right."
Anno: "Is it okay if I'm there?"
Natsupoi: "It wouldn't start without you. We're all facing the same direction, we have one enemy we want to defeat, and if we don't become the light of Stardom now, Stardom will fail. The three-count I got from Kamiya today was thanks to everyone's strength, but I think it's a huge step forward. I will never lose, and I will never give up. I want to push forward on the path of light for Stardom."
Anno: "I thought, 'Well, he's a pro wrestler after all.' Kid was calling me every day, and he genuinely wanted to defeat Anno Saori. When I heard that, I couldn't help but think, 'Go ahead and try to beat me.' That's how I felt. So... I got all worked up. I got so worked up I was biting him."
Natsupoi: "I know."
Anno: "But I still don't want to be defeated, and there's no reason why I don't want to lose. Besides, having such a strong partner by my side is really motivating. Let's do it in Hokkaido. We fought last year, didn't we?"
Natsupoi: "That's right. At that important place for us, let's both definitely win red and white and continue to run right in the heart of stardom."
Anno: "Okay."
Anno takes Natsupoi's hand
Natsupoi: "You do such cheesy things. Bye-bye."
Anno: "Yeah, that's right."
Kid: "Today, the main event was supposed to be the defense of the Artist of Stardom title, but Rina suddenly had to withdraw. Is it okay to consider this a postponement?"
AZM: "Yeah, I definitely want to do it with those members."
Kid: "Yeah. Konami also said that there's meaning in doing it with those members, and if we're going to do HATE again, I don't think we'd want to do it with anyone but those three, so please look forward to it. We'll be waiting, Rina. And then, the singles."
AZM: "Yes. I'm STRONG (Women's). In the first match, Bozilla said she wanted to challenge me, so I called her out for the main event, and I'll be defending my title here at Korakuen Hall on July 24th. Don't underestimate Stardom, Bozilla. Is that it?"
Kid: "And also, Saori has received a love call~"
AZM: "Congratulations. You worked really hard."
Kid: "Thank you. I kept sending you roses. I was always the one giving them, but I received some. And they were blue roses. Saori, thank you so much. This time it was a one-sided love call from me, but if I can surpass Saori, who has held this belt twice, I'll be closer to making this belt the number one in Stardom and bringing it to a position where it becomes a symbol of Stardom. I really think I have no choice but to do it. In Sapporo, the place where Saori lost the belt. There are also the red and white titles, right? When there are two major titles side by side, I get even more fired up. Because I don't want to lose. So I will also fight in the red match. I'll be fighting Natsupoi anytime. So, let's both defend our titles, do this (Artist), and come back as two-time champions. Also, did you see the commercial (shown on the arena screen) today? Kantan-su Starlight Kid. Please try Kantan-su. This one bottle will decide the flavor!"
Kid & AZM "Easy Vinegar"
