So Oz Academy ran shows on June 7 at Shinujku FACE and June 8 at the Taisho Azaria Hall in Osaka to continue the OZ Academy Tag Team Tournament. The silliness has been fun so far but I think maybe Mayumi Ozaki had a little booking brain cramp at this point. The June 7 show began with Devil Masami's retirement tour against Hiroyo Matsumoto. The pattern of these matches is the youngster isn't supposed to get much offense in. Matsumoto gets Devil in a body scissors but Devil turns it around and applies a hanging surfboard. Devil continues to work on her back and saps her strength with a reverse chinlock. Matsumoto hits two missile dropkicks for a two count but Devil hits a head butt, a lariat and finishes her with the Fire Valley at 10:19.
Next was KAORU vs Chikayo Nagashima. Nagashima tries to get the crowd going but KAORU hits a high kick. A test of strength and KAORU gets control, stands on her throat while she & Police taunt the crowd. Then a camel clutch with the usual hair grabbing and eye gouge. Nagashima gets revenge with her own camel clutch but KAORU nails Nagashima with a board. Nagashima gets the board and retaliates. KAORU goes to the top with the board but is stopped by Sonoko Kato. They go outside the ring and Police assaults Nagashima and it's the usual mess. Mayumi Ozaki & Carlos Amano get involved. Kaoru hits her with the board again. Ozaki distracts Nagashima and KAORU sprays her with the mist and hits the Excalibur for the win at 15:02.

The OZ Academy Tag Team Title Quarter Final was the main event with Carlos Amano and her new partner Dynamite Kansai against Aja Kong & Manami Toyota.
