Iida said that going up against Death would be a real challenge.

(1) SAYA IIDA vs. DEATH YAMA-SAN

Iida looked for the Iidabashi but Death stacked her up for the pin.

WINNER: Death Yama-san in 5:14.

-Miyagi said they’d make the second match the best and the worst. Kid said it had been a while since they’d teamed as KidTam. They questioned why Miyagi loves hell so much.

(2) STARS: KIDTAM (Tam Nakano & Starlight Kid) vs. OEDO TAI (Andras Miyagi & Natsuko Tora)

Miyagi hit a piledriver on Kid. Tora body slammed her into position and Miyagi followed with a top rope swanton.

WINNERS: Oedo Tai in 9:59.

-The next one was a battle straight off of NXT UK. Brookside said she always loves a Strong Zero when she’s in Japan but not the kind Storm gives out. Storm promised that she would get a taste of a Strong Zero.

(3) NXT UK WOMEN’S CHAMPION TONI STORM vs. XIA BROOKSIDE – NON-TITLE MATCH

Storm of course won with Strong Zero. Duh.

WINNER: Toni Storm in 9:58.

-Kimura was acting weird. Konami asked if she was okay, while Kyona said she’s always weird in the morning. Kimura said there was excitement in the air. Konami thought Tyler’s sunglasses were cool. Tyler and Lucas bookended the Japanese trio and nodded, clearly having no idea what was being said. Watanabe said this one was a preview of the tag title match on the next show.

(4) QUEEN’S QUEST (World Of Stardom Champion Bea Priestley, Goddess of Stardom/SWA World/Future Of Stardom Champion Utami Hayashishita, Goddess of Stardom Champion Momo Watanabe, AZM, & Leo Onozaki ) vs. TOKYO CYBER SQUAD (Zoe Lucas, Bobbi Tyler, & Artist Of Stardom Champions Hana Kimura, Jungle Kyona, & Konami)

Kimura attacked Watanabe as she was introduced in the ring. Both teams fought into the crowd immediately. (Kimura’s just been stealing all of Oedo Tai’s signature stuff lately.) In the end Tyler pinned Onozaki with a pump-kick.

WINNERS: Tokyo Cyber Squad in 11:06.

-Kimura grabbed a mic and said everyone in TCS besides Death has title belts. (And Rina, Ruaka, Rebel Kel, Mary Apache, and Natsumi…) She said she and Tyler would win the tag titles on the next show. She said Plain Jane and her puppet better be prepared. (I’m genuinely not sure whether Watanabe or Hayashishita are the Plain Jane in her mind. She’d originally used Plain Jane as a derisive moniker for Konami when drafting her into TCS.) She led the crowd in chanting “go away.” The tag champions left. Kimura said she and Tyler would win the titles tonight, then defend them against Konami and Kyona in Nagoya. She mocked Kyona’s new white and pink gear, saying she looks like Dodoria from Dragon Ball.

-Kagetsu said they’d do their best. Kashima said they were each aiming for one person in particular in the match.

(5) STARS (Wonder Of Stardom Champion Arisa Hoshiki, Mayu Iwatani, & Saki Kashima) vs. OEDO TAI (High Speed Champion Hazuki, Kagetsu, & Natsu Sumire)

As Kagetsu and Iwatani tussled on the floor, Hoshiki took out Hazuki and Kashima rolled up Sumire for the pin.

WINNERS: Stars in 18:46.

-Kashima said this win boosted their momentum heading into her homecoming show and their rematch for the trios titles.

(Pageot’s Perspective: Apologies for the brief coverage. There’s been a high surplus of wrestling events lately and these Stardom days when they do two shows almost always produce skippable house show material.)
