STARS' team of Hanan, Iida Saya, and Kogo Momo faced off against HATE's team of Tora Natsuko, Konami, and Ruanka in a six-person tag team match. For Hanan & Iida and Natsuko & Ruanka, this was a preliminary match leading up to the Goddesses of Stardom Tag Team Championship match at Korakuen Hall on July 24th. The previous day in Akita, the champion Hanan was pinned directly by Natsuko. Will STARS' wing☆gori get revenge, or will H.A.T.E.'s BMI2000 gain even more momentum?
Hanan volunteered to start the match and faced Natsuko. As soon as the bell rang, Hanan delivered a dropkick, but Natsuko endured it, drove her to the ropes, and stomped on her face. Hanan shouted, "Don't underestimate me!" and unleashed a flurry of elbows. Natsuko resisted a hip throw and delivered a headbutt. Reading Natsuko's charge, Hanan delivered a running elbow smash. Ruanka pulled Hanan's leg, allowing H.A.T.E. to take the fight outside the ring.
H.A.T.E. overwhelmed STARS by slamming him into the audience. Hanan was brought back, and Natsuko delivered a brainbuster and a body press. Ruanka choked Hanan in her corner and stomped on her face. She brought her to the center and delivered a body slam. Natsuko sprayed water at Hanan. The cover was not allowed, and Natsuko pulled Hanan up and delivered another body slam. Konami delivered a soccer ball kick to Hanan. Iida tried to break it up, but Konami threw her to the outside, pinned Hanan against the ropes, and attacked with H.A.T.E. Hanan charged forward, but Konami taunted her with "You're weak" and "Come on," and stood up after taking a series of elbows. Hanan responded to Konami's charge with a hip throw and an elbow smash. As the match alternates, Natsuko interferes, but Mukai hits Natsuko with a hurricanrana and then a 619 on both her and Konami. However, they are caught. Nevertheless, Mukai and Hanan land body attacks from two directions. Konami stops Mukai's charge and delivers a hanging armbar and a dropkick to his head. Ryuka hits Mukai with a corner body attack, a shoulder tackle, a senton, and a lariat. Mukai hits Ryuka with an unconventional 619 and a swan dive missile kick. Iida delivers an elbow drop to Ryuka. Ryuka retaliates and they engage in a shoulder tackle battle. Iida lands a series of reverse chops, and Ryuka retaliates with elbows. Ryuka feints and throws a punch. Hanan cuts in and she and Iida deliver a combined elbow attack. Mukai also enters the ring, and STARS attempts to combine. However, H.A.T.E. cuts in and delivers a series of corner attacks to Iida. Natsuko and Ryuka performed a combined press. When Iida kicked out, Ryuka applied a face lock. Iida managed to escape. Ryuka pulled Iida up and went for a fisherman suplex. Iida resisted and Hanan delivered an elbow smash, and Hanan and Iida attempted a combined move. However, Natsuko separated them with a cross body and slammed Iida to the mat. When Iida kicked out, Ryuka got in position for a fisherman suplex. Iida countered and the Iidabashi was also cut off. Natsuko hit Hanan with a lariat. Natsuko and Ryuka simultaneously delivered a cannonball and a cross body, then Natsuko hit Hanan with a diving body press and Ryuka hit Iida with a freezer bomb. The referee counted to three, and Ryuka pinned Iida.
Ryuka: "You guys have only won once in the preliminary matches, right? Do you think you can win the real thing like that? Or rather, do you even intend to win? With you losing so much, it's a shame for the belt. Now, now, make the most of the little time you have left with the belt."
