Myla backdrops Chi for 2. Chi powerslams Myla for 2. Myla superkicks her then Chi high kicks her. Chi torture racks Myla then sitout torture rack drops her to win.
Thoughts: Chi had trouble holding Myla up in the air for the finish. Myla didn't botch anything here and just that alone made this one of her better matches. It was a waste of Misa and Chi though who should have been in there against better talent. It was just a very average match.

Yuz does a real funny sell for it then Chika slams her for 2. MK rolls up Chika for 2 then Chika rolls her up and somehow wins despite Yuz seemingly breaking it and MK's feet on the ropes.
Thoughts: It was too quick here and the final pin shouldn't have been counted for two different reasons. Minami got nothing in here and it was a waste of time.
Chika does a taunt after and Yuz goes after her. They fight and Chika knocks her out of the ring. They then fight outside the ring and have to be separated.

Thoughts: It ended up being a decent match as they pushed the idea that Nao could beat Utami. It didn't happen, but it made an otherwise average match more exciting. They also pushed that Nao had issues here with Kouki. Nao oddly put a shirt on here during the match and I assume it was due to a wardrobe malfunction.
Nao goes after Utami and Kouki after but is beaten up.

Thoughts: It was a bit of a one-sided match with Sareee not having a lot of problems with Mai. They had two botches here which sucked. I would have liked to have seen a more even match here and less bullying of Mai.
Sare has words for Mai after. Sare goes up to Giulia and Giulia takes off her cast to show her she's okay.
Marigold United National Title Tournament First Round Match - Nagisa Nozaki vs. Bozilla
They had all four girls who are in this tournament come out and get in the ring beforehand.

Thoughts: It ended before it really got going here. NN got a decent bit of offense in but it was clear it wasn't going to put down Boz. It was disappointing as I actually thought NN was going to be treated as a serious threat to Boz.

They keep fighting after the bell and are pulled apart.
Thoughts: They didn't really figure this one out until overtime. The arm and leg work went nowhere as expected. I thought having them duel lariats and stuff worked out better than the submission stuff did. Having a bye in your first tournament is pretty odd for 2024 booking and I'm sure the purpose of it was to save a Bozilla first time match with someone for a later date. I liked some parts of this but it wasn't as good as I thought it could have been, and it should have been good with Miku and Mirai.
Overall thoughts: It looked like it could have been good on paper but it didn't deliver. Sareee's and Boz's matches were too one-sided and Mirai/Miku wasn't as good as I hoped it would be. I wouldn't recommend this one.
