Lots were drawn to complete the teams. Ayako Hamada, Mariko Yoshida, Rena Takase and Yuu Yamagata had to pick lots to add to the original teams of Ai Fujita/Michiko Ohmukai, Lioness Asuka/noki-A, Mima Shimoda/Etsuko Mita and GAMI/Rie Tamada. |

Takase ended up pinning Yamagata to give her team the win. Afterwards GAMI and Tamada took out their frustration on Yamagata by beating her ass. |

| The theme here was Hamada teaming up with her long time rivals, Las Cachorras Orientales (Mita and Shimoda). At the start she was not too interested in teaming with LCO, but eventually warmed up to the idea. She ended up being pinned by Ohmukai, taking the loss for her team and getting cussed out. | |

| Yoshida ended up getting the win for her team putting Takase in a jujigatame. The rise of the tag team of Ohmukai and Fujita continues. | |
Alot of the pictures from this show didn't come out well. In fact, this is probably the best picture I took. I don't remember taking it at all, but it came out great. I'm assuming that is Yamagata's knee, at real close range.
