Rian tries a fisherman suplex, but Rian blocks it, and Fukigen joins in, and Akira hits them all with a Kawazu Otoshi. Akira attempted a fisherman suplex on Rian, but was rolled up instead. Rian tried to roll him up, but Akira dodged and countered with a half-hatch. Fukigen then delivered a senton. Fukigen rolled up Rian, but Rian slammed him down and pinned him for the three count.

Good for Konami and Stardom fans! Good for you! I'm going to get revenge for this frustration in today's IWGP match, so remember that."
[Best Bout Award in the Final Tournament]
★ August 23rd, Ota Ward = AZM vs. Rinami
[Skill Award & Fighting Spirit Award]
Rinami: (Holding four trophies) "I can't hold this many. But I think the result of being able to participate after enduring not being able to for seven years is gathered in these trophies. However, even with four of them, it's not enough to win the championship. It doesn't reach the value of the championship trophy, so I will definitely win next year. Please look forward to it."

[Winner]
Momoko Watanabe: "Momoko Watanabe has won! I've said this many times before, but it was inevitable. And I've also said this many times before, but from now on it's Momoko Watanabe's era, so you guys, you damn fools, be prepared."
