2. 5★STAR Grand Prix 2017 Qualifying Match: Natsuko Tora vs. Tam Nakano
Pretty solid performance from both wrestlers, especially for Tamu, who made a strong impression in her Stardom debut. Tora gets a crazy close near-fall.

4. SWA World Championship: Toni Storm (c) vs. Xia Brookside
*1/2
5. High Speed Championship: Shanna (c) vs. Mari Apache
**1/2
6. Artist of Stardom Championship: Team Jungle (Hiroyo Matsumoto, Jungle Kyona & Kaori Yoneyama) (c) vs. Queen's Quest (HZK, Io Shirai & Viper)
A solid match for Io's return. I thought she looked great, and she did some new flippy stuff. Viper ends up crushing Kyona's face and causing a nosebleed, and I thought it added to the match visually. It's also nice to see HZK pick up the win.

7. World of Stardom Championship: Mayu Iwatani (c) vs. Kagetsu
Mayu and Kagetsu had a great High Speed match last year, but this was horrendous. It wasn't connecting with me, and by the end of it I stopped caring. The action was dull, the pacing felt very off, and of course they have to shoehorn a stairwell spot in every single Stardom Korakuen main event. This was no good!
