Akari, who had been absent since losing the IWGP Women's Championship, returns and will compete with Tomoka Inaba as part of God's Eye, where she will once again face the current champion Saree in a tag match. Saree's partner is Kaoru Ito, making them a master-disciple duo. Will this match signal any developments towards the IWGP Women's Championship? God's Eye can't just focus on Saree. It looks like Ito will be a nuisance..

Saree: Hey, Akari, I read in an article that I'm the only one in Stardom who can get back the IWGP (women's) belt, but what is this belt? Are you aiming for it? Can you tell me more about that?
Akari: "Well, I don't know what article you read it in, but I never said that I'm the only one who can take it back! But I've had elbow surgery and am back in top condition to take back the IWGP, and to put on a great match! Today... Shall I talk first?"
Saree: "Hey, let me be clear. I have no intention of losing to the current Akari, who has made a comeback and has already been booked to appear on stage."
Akari: "Sorry, let me say something. Up until now, I've done everything I wanted to do and gotten results! So I'm going to do everything seriously and get results."
Saree: "Hey, you've certainly produced results. You're strong. I'll give you all my credit. But then... I can't win this belt right away. There are people overseas who want to take it. It looks like it's almost decided. If you're serious about going for this belt, if you want to come back and get it back, I'm always open to it. So, I'll tell you the truth. Just wait."
Saree pushes Akari away and leaves the stage
Akari: "I'll definitely get that belt back. Just wait for me!"
"After the match, Ayuri said something like she never said that, but no, I saw it in an article or something. On the contrary, why would she want to challenge if she doesn't think that way? Well, like I said in the ring earlier, I thought she was kidding me about the stage and all that, but she said that I have done everything seriously in the ring and that is how I have achieved results, and I don't think there is any lie in those words, and that's the same for me, I have done everything properly and achieved results. But, this IWGP (Women's) belt, if you're aiming for the belt, is it okay to just waver like that? Is it okay to do that if you want to become the IWGP champion? There's no way I can entrust this belt to someone like that. There's no way she can get it, from where I am now. But if she wants to do it, I won't run away, and I am always willing to do it, so if we ever have to face each other, I intend to make her face reality."
Akari: "I'm back. However, I wasn't able to win today, but this is where it all begins. I'm watching the IWGP (women's). I will definitely take back the IWGP from Saree!"
Tomoka: "I'm so disappointed that I lost to Saree in Akari's comeback match. I'm sorry. I want to get stronger and stronger. I want to get stronger and stronger in this Stardom ring and next to Akari at God's Eye. But while I want to get stronger next to Akari, I also want to get stronger standing opposite her. I want to fight Akari, get beaten up by her, and become stronger. I have an independent event on October 15th. Would you be willing to fight me there?"
Shuri: "Oh"
Tomoka: "I really want to become stronger. Everyone knows how strong Akari is, and I know that very well too. I really want to become even stronger, and experience Akari's strength for myself. I don't just want to experience it, I want to beat her."
Shuri: "Of course, I'm happy to hear that. Of course, let's do it. Thank you very much."
Tomoka: "Please!"
Shuri: "Let's get stronger together"
Tomoka: "Please!"
Shuri: "I will not show any mercy."
Tomoka: "I'll beat you up!"
