Boz does a nasty looking snapmare then suplexes her. MK gets on her back for a sleeper and is rammed into the buckles. Boz hiptosses her then hits a big powerbomb for the win.

Thoughts: Myla had a bad start here with some sloppiness. They kept this one fast paced and stuck to a lot of pin attempts which stopped any botches for most of the match. It was somewhat watchable due to that.

Thoughts: It became clear near the end that they were likely going to a draw here as they started counting down how much time was left. I was surprised Sare agreed to that. It was an okay but not great tag. Sare did her usual good looking but basic offense and everyone carried their weight here. Miku vs Sareee was the main focus on this one.

I think Mai challenged Sareee after to a singles match.

Kouki Amarei, MIRAI & Utami Hayashishita vs. Chika Goto, Nao Ishikawa & Victoria Yuzuki

Chika and and Kouki do stereo moves off the top then Mirai wheel barrow half-nelson suplexes Yuz for 2. Mirai hits a nasty running lariat on Yuz and wins.

Thoughts: It was an okay but not great main. You can basically give any 6 wrestlers enough time and a main event spot and the match will mostly be okay. Yuzuki got beat up for a lot of this and we didn't see a lot of Nao here. Yuzuki did a good job here but Chika probably isn't going to be much more thna she is.

The winning team talks on the mic after. Yuzuki and Chika hit bad looking shots on each other after in the press conference.

Overall thoughts: The last two matches were okay but this was a house show through and through and I wouldn't recommend it.
