God's Eye's Hinami, Sorei Ami, and Lady C clashed with E neXus V's Tsukiyama Waka, HANAKO, and Rian in a six-person tag team match. For Hinami and HANAKO, this was a preliminary bout leading up to their Future of Stardom Championship match. Since the title match was announced, it must be said that challenger HANAKO has been at a disadvantage. With the big match approaching, HANAKO would like to make Hinami anxious, but...
Rian volunteered to start, and Lady C came out. After a tentative exchange, Lady raised her hand invitingly. "Can you reach me?" Lady provoked, and Rian stomped on her foot and sent her into the ropes. However, Lady stopped and stomped again. Rian delivered a series of stomps to Lady's foot, but was sent flying by a shoulder tackle. Lady announced that she was going for a giant swing. Rian quickly escaped. However, Sorei assisted, and Lady performed a giant swing with 14 rotations. When Rian retaliates, Lady drives her into her corner and stomps on her. Hinami delivers three consecutive body slams to Rian. Sorei hits Rian with a series of reverse chops. She slams him with another body slam, but Rian retaliates. Rian comes forward with a series of elbows, but Sorei stands with her arms outstretched to receive them. Sorei's double chop leaves Rian writhing in pain. Sorei throws Rian into the corner and charges, but Rian hits a hurricanrana followed by a dropkick. HANAKO offers to tag in and enters the ring, delivering a running body attack to Sorei. Lady interferes and teams up with Sorei. However, HANAKO delivers a dropkick to both of them. When Sorei retaliates, HANAKO prepares for a brainbuster. Sorei tries to do the same, but neither gives in. So they exchange shoulder tackles, with HANAKO winning. Sorei throws HANAKO into the corner and delivers a body attack, returning the favor with a shoulder tackle of her own. She then landed a lariat, but only got a two count. Hina hit HANAKO with a corner knee attack and a dropkick. HANAKO kicked out, and Hina went for an STF. Hina was broken up, but she threatened to throw HANAKO. HANAKO resisted and did a backflip, then a body press on the spot. Hina kicked out, and HANAKO did a Shirasagi. Hina escaped and went for a hip throw. HANAKO resisted, and Hina landed an elbow. HANAKO retaliated, and they exchanged elbows. Hina didn't let HANAKO run and landed a flurry of elbows. HANAKO didn't let her run either, and they grabbed each other's hair. HANAKO did a big boot, and Hina did a hip throw. HANAKO got up and went for it, but Hina stopped her and did an STO. HANAKO slammed Hina with a brainbuster. Both were down, and 10 minutes had passed. Tsukiyama prevented Hinami from tagging in and delivered a spear elbow and a dropkick. Sorei interfered with a dash, Lady delivered a big boot, and Hinami hit a neckbreaker. When Tsukiyama kicked out, Hinami hit a backbreaker and a reverse Boston crab. However, HANAKO broke it up and delivered a series of elbows. An enraged Hinami threw HANAKO out of the ring. She slammed Tsukiyama onto the mat, and when he kicked out, she went for a Jackhammer. Rian broke it up and Tsukiyama and Rian launched a double spear attack, HANAKO delivered a shoulder tackle and dropped Tsukiyama onto Hinami. When Hinami kicked out, Tsukiyama hit a missile kick. However, Hinami managed to kick out of that as well. Tsukiyama went for a Gokuraku Don. Hinami countered, lifted her up, and threw her backwards. Tsukiyama got up, but Hinami hit her again. When Tsukiyama kicked out, Hinami went for a modified Jackhammer. Tsukiyama rolled her up but it was broken up. Lady and Sorei cut off Tsukiyama's charge, and Hinami slammed her to the side. It seemed like it was over, but Tsukiyama kicked out. So Hinami took advantage of the hang time and performed a modified Jackhammer. The referee counted to three, and Hinami won.
Hinami: "Hey HANAKO, there's only one week until the title match, are you motivated? I can tell just by watching you, and by fighting you. You're not giving it your all, are you? Do you think you can win like that? It's not that easy to get that belt. Tell me how you feel right now, HANAKO."
HANAKO: "I'm totally motivated, you idiot! This isn't enough. Let's go head-to-head and give it our all. This is not all I've got, so please come see me on the 27th (September) at Korakuen Hall."
HANAKO then slammed Hinami with a body slam. She then snatched the belt and showed it off to Hinami. Hinami stood up and reclaimed the belt, engaging in a tense stare-down with HANAKO, who was pulling at the belt.
