NT backdrops Nat then falcon arrows her for 2. NT hits a wrist-clutch emerald flowsion on Nat and NT gets the win.

Thoughts: It was a good tag with Miku and Utami having a good section and NT and Nat having a good section. It would have been nice if some of the leg work went somewhere but it was really good otherwise. It felt like both teams were going for the win and it was really stiff. The crowd wasn't that good for this one sadly which is a shame because these girls put the work in. This was good main event.

NT has words for Nat after on the mic. NT's slaps hands with Mirai and Utami talks to NT. NT then closes the show with Marigold's tag line.

Overall thoughts: The main was strong and easily the best thing on the show. It wasn't must see but it was one of Marigold's better matches and maybe one of their top 20 matches so far. The semi-main was pretty good with Nao stepping up big against Mai. Kizuna's tag was okay and the other two matches weren't. I wouldn't really recommend this one as the crowd was not that loud, a lot of people were missing and the undercard wasn't that good.
