The Stardom in Showcase is a series of pay-per-views which mainly focuses on a diversity of gimmick matches, only different from the singles match stipulation. Billed as respiro shows, the main tagline of these events is "Anything can happen".
Dubbed as a non-canon event, the show started with the rumble match in which the two mystery competitors were represented by Stardom Super Strong Machine, impersonated by Saya Iida and Kaori Yoneyama who returned with her old Stars gimmick of Gokigen Death. She won the rumble by last eliminating Miyu Amasaki. In the second match, Maika & Himeka won after Maika threw Saya Iida over the top rope. The third match saw the Cosmic Angels members Unagi Sayaka, Mina Shirakawa, and Saki clash in a three-way "Cosmic rules" match. Referee Daichi Murayama declared the bout a no contest after Sayaka stripped Shirakawa off her swimwear. The next match saw the World of Stardom Champion and God's Eye leader Syuri defeating Hiragi Kurumi in an "I quit match", concluding an individual feud between the two, initiated by Kurumi weeks before the event. The next bout saw the High Speed Champion AZM, Tam Nakano, half of the Goddesses of Stardom Champions Koguma, and one-third of the Artist of Stardom Champions Momo Watanabe clashing into a four-way falls count anywhere match. The confrontation was more comedic, with different items such as an inflatable dummy, a slide, and various other things being used. At a point in the match, Koguma and Nakano even switched ring attires. AZM won the match after driving Koguma into the titantron.
The main event portraited the confrontation of the Wonder of Stardom Champion Saya Kamitani, Starlight Kid, and a "reaper masked" silhouette in a casket match. The mysterious character was revealed to be Yuu from Sendai Girls' Pro Wrestling. She won the match by putting both Kamitani and Kid inside the casket. After the show went off, Stardom posted on Twitter a video of Rossy Ogawa raising from the casket and asking the reaper figure whether they will come back to the promotion or not.
Yuu was revealed as the "reaper masked" figure who kept attacking Kamitani, Kid, and Stardom president Rossy Ogawa for weeks before the event.
