Kamen Rider Mach made his entrance next by running to the ring. As soon as he entered, the match was ready to start.
The match began, and Kamen Rider Blade tried to hit Kamen Rider Mach. However, Kamen Rider Mach was too fast for Kamen Rider Blade.

Kamen Rider Mach finished the series of attack with an elbow to the face. Kamen Rider Mach went for the cover.

However, Kamen Rider Mach reversed it and took out Kamen Rider Blade with an uppercut. Kamen Rider Mach then climbed to the top rope. He jumped off, ready to finish off Kamen Rider Blade with a frog splash, but then Kamen Rider Blade caught him in midair and finished him off with the swinging reverse STO before going for the pin.
1...2...3!
Kamen Rider Blade wins by pinfall.
Next week, Kamen Rider Blade was going to fight against the winner of Kamen Rider Zero-One vs Kamen Rider Jin, and whoever won that match would face Kamen Rider Ouja for the Rider-Division Championship at Ultimate Gauntletmania.
2. Sasori Orange & Oushi Black vs Kamen Rider Specter & Kamen Rider Necrom
First, Sasori Orange and Oushi Black made their way to the ring. They were ready for a tag team match against Kamen Rider Specter and Kamen Rider Necrom. Sasori Orange and Oushi Black both entered the ring.
Kamen Rider Specter and Kamen Rider Necrom made their way to the ring next, both representing the Underworld. However, before they could leave the stage, they were attacked and beaten down by Zyuoh Crow and Gokai Black. At the same time, Akuroninja and DSR started attacking Sasori Orange while Kamen Rider Odin picked up Oushi Black and threw him out of the stage. The En4cers had taken over the ring. Akuroninja picked up a microphone. He said that thanks to Sasori Orange as the special guest enforcer last week, Akuroninja wasn't added to the Ultimate Championship match at Ultimate Gauntletmania, and it was all the Kyurangers' fault. Akuroninja said that the En4cers weren't going to leave the ring, and that the rest of the show was cancelled.
Suddenly, Ryu Commander made his entrance. He was the general manager of The Gauntlet. Ryu Commander entered the ring and proposed a solution. First, he said that the reason why the En4cers weren't getting any more opportunities was because of their dirty tactics, but he decided on an ultimatum. Akuroninja and DSR would face Sasori Orange and another Kyuranger in a tag team match at Ultimate Gauntletmania, where if the Kyurangers' team won, then Akuroninja would be fired from The Gauntlet and forced to leave. Akuroninja asked Ryu Commander who Sasori Orange's tag team partner would be.
Ryu Commander revealed that Sasori Orange's tag team partner...was Ryu Commander himself. Ryu Commander charged at Akuroninja and took him down with a dragonscrew leg whip. He then picked DSR up and finished him off with a vertical suplex.
3. Momoninger vs Shinken Pink
If Momoninger could defeat Shinken Pink in this match, then the Ninnin Girls would earn a title opportunity at Ultimate Gauntletmania for the Gauntlet Women's Tag Team Championship.
First, Momoninger made her entrance to the ring, being accompanied by Shironinger. Momoninger entered the ring, ready to take on Shinken Pink.
Shinken Pink made her entrance next. Her entrance was very long, and it took a long time for Shinken Pink to enter the ring.
The match began, and Shinken Pink charged at Momoninger. However, Momoninger was prepared, and she took down Shinken Pink with a superkick. Momoninger then brought Shinken Pink up for her finisher, but Shinken Pink elbowed Momoninger and pushed her into a corner. Shinken Pink then went for a running knee strike to finish off Momoninger, but Momoninger moved out of the way. She then finished Shinken Pink off with a snap swinging neckbreaker and went for the pin.
1...2...3!
Momoninger wins by pinfall.
Because Momoninger was able to defeat Shinken Pink, that meant that the Ninnin Girls could challenge for the Gauntlet Women's Tag Team Championship at Ultimate Gauntletmania.
Backstage, HurricaneRed was recapping the events of last week, where Gokai Silver attacked him. It was obvious that he was challenging HurricaneRed for the title. HurricaneRed said that he accepted Gokai Silver's challenge, and that the match would take place at Ultimate Gauntletmania.
4. Ryusoul Green, Ryusoul Black, & Kamen Rider Snipe vs Gokai Red, Gokai Blue, & Kamen Rider Geiz
In this match, Gokai Red would be teaming with Gokai Blue and Kamen Rider Geiz to take on the Golden Age's team of Ryusoul Green, Ryusoul Black, and Kamen Rider Snipe. Ryusoul Green and Ryusoul Black were the current Gauntlet Tag Team Champions, but a match wasn't announced for them at Ultimate Gauntletmania, so they were desperate for a challenger, especially Ryusoul Green.

Ryusoul Green and Ryusoul Black were the Gauntlet Tag Team Champions, and they held up their title belts for everyone to see. Ryusoul Green charged into the ring, while Ryusoul Black and Kamen Rider Snipe walked to the ring. All 3 fighters represented the Golden Age.
Next, Gokai Red, Gokai Blue, and Kamen Rider Geiz made their way to the ring. Gokai Red was the winner of the Ranger/Rider Rumble last year, but now, he didn't have a spot at Ultimate Gauntletmania, just like Ryusoul Green and Ryusoul Black. If he, Gokai Blue, or Kamen Rider Geiz pinned one of the tag team champions, it meant that they would have a shot at the Gauntlet Tag Team Championship. Gokai Red's team made their way to the ring.
The match began with Kamen Rider Geiz and Kamen Rider Snipe in the ring. Kamen Rider Snipe charged at Kamen Rider Geiz, but Kamen Rider Geiz moved out of the way.

Gokai Red went for the pin.
1...2...

After pinning Ryusoul Green, Gokai Red challenged him and Ryusoul Black for the Gauntlet Tag Team Championship at Ultimate Gauntletmania. Ryusoul Green accepted.
5. Kamen Rider Woz vs Lord Drakkon
At Final Countdown, Kamen Rider Zi-O unsuccessfully challenged Houou Soldier for the Ultimate Championship. After the match, Lord Drakkon appeared and began attacking Kamen Rider Zi-O. The attacks didn't stop there, however. In the Ranger/Rider Rumble, Kamen Rider Zi-O entered, and was close to winning, but then Lord Drakkon, who wasn't part of the Rumble, threw Kamen Rider Zi-O out of the ring, eliminating him from the Ranger/Rider Rumble. Last week, HurricaneRed was supposed to defend the Gauntlet All-Star Championship against Kamen Rider Zi-O, but Zi-O was thrown out of a window by Lord Drakkon.
Now, Kamen Rider Woz was going to face Lord Drakkon in this one-on-one match to avenge his master.
First, Kamen Rider Woz made his entrance to the ring. Kamen Rider Woz entered the ring right away and waited for his opponent.
Next, Lord Drakkon made his entrance. Lord Drakkon slowly walked to the ring. He had already taken down Kamen Rider Zi-O because he was tired of Kamen Rider Zi-O talking about how he wanted to be the king of the Rider-Division. When Kamen Rider Zi-O decided to focus on the Ultimate Championship, Lord Drakkon felt like he didn't belong with the other fighters outside the Kamen Rider Division and made it mission to put Kamen Rider Zi-O in his place.
The match began, and Kamen Rider Woz charged at Lord Drakkon. However, Lord Drakkon grabbed Kamen Rider Woz and took him down with the fireman's carry facebuster before going for a cover.
1...2...
Lord Drakkon then released the cover so he could beat up Kamen Rider Woz even more. He attacked Kamen Rider Woz with another fireman's carry facebuster, and then submitted him with his submission finisher, Punishment 4.
Lord Drakkon wins by submission.
Lord Drakkon had disposed of Kamen Rider Woz so easily. He was about to leave the ring, but then the lights went out. A countdown timer, starting from 10 seconds, appeared on the tv screen and caught Lord Drakkon's attention.
10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...!
Suddenly, the video cut to black. Lord Drakkon was confused, but then the lights went back on. Lord Drakkon turned around and saw Kamen Rider Zi-O behind him, only he was different. This was no longer the Kamen Rider Zi-O that was beaten up by Lord Drakkon. This wasn't the Kamen Rider Zi-O who failed to win the Ultimate Championship at Final Countdown. This Kamen Rider Zi-O was gold, black, and dark grey. The katakana on Kamen Rider Zi-O's visor was also red instead of pink.
Kamen Rider Zi-O grabbed Lord Drakkon by the throat and took him down with a chokeslam before leaving the ring. Kamen Rider Woz got up and announced the arrival of Oma Zi-O.
