Background

The show featured professional wrestling matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.[3]

Event

The preshow included two bouts. In the first one, Lady C, Hina and Miyu Amasaki defeated Hanako, Yuzuki and Ranna Yagami, and in the second one, Hazuki, New Blood Tag Team Champions Hanan and Saya Iida picked up a win over Starlight Kid, Fukigen Death and Rina in six-woman tag team competition.[4]

In the fifth bout, Goddesses of Stardom Champions Utami Hayashishita and Saya Kamitani, alongside AZM picked up a win over two thirds of the Artist of Stardom Champions Mirai and Ami Sohrei, alongside Saki Kashima in six-tag team action. In the semi main event, World of Stardom Champion Maika and Megan Bayne wrestled Strong Women's Champion Giulia and Suzu Suzuki into a time-limit draw. After the bout concluded, Giulia announced the Donna Del Mondo unit's dissolution due to all of the members taking different directions.
