Rea Seto vs. Komomo Minami

This is Rea's first match with Marigold after leaving Sendai Girls, which I thought was wrong. Yuuki Minami from Ice Ribbon still hasn't debuted and doesn't seem like she ever will. KM slaps Rea's hand away and dropkicks her. KM hits more dropkicks then Rea dropkicks her back. Rea stomps on her then hits a corner dropkick. Rea facebusters her for 2 then fujiwara armbars her. Rea pulls on both of her arms and cattle mutilations her.

They trade chest forearms and KM does a bad slam. Rea slams her then KM slams her. They trade chest forearms and slap each other. KM dropkicks her several times. KM armbars her and Rea ropebreaks.

KM dropkicks Rea's arm against the ropes then KM backslides her. KM cradles her for 2 then hits some stomps. Rea dropkicks her again and hits chest forearms. Rea hits more dropkicks for 2. Rea then pins her after several attempts.

Thoughts: This was probably KM's weakest match yet as her dropkicks didn't it that well and there were some odd moments like her just running into Rea. Rea had a good showing though. She has great facials and physically comes off like a heel. 

Chika Goto & Kouki Amarei vs. Kizuna Tanaka & Victoria Yuzuki

Kiz and Kouki go at it. They trade wristlocks and Kiz snapmares her. Kiz bodyscissors her and they trade facelocks on the mat. Kouki side headlock takeovers her. Kiz flying lariats her then Yuz gets in. Yuz dropkicks Kouki then flying headscissors her. Yuz dropkicks her.

Kouki takes a double team that ends in a double basement dropkick. Kouki facekicks her on the ropes and chika hip attacks Yuz on the ropes. Yuz takes a double boot for 2. Chika giant swings Yuz then hip attacks her on the ropes.

They trade chest forearms then Chika takes a double facebuster. Yuz dropkicks Chika against the bottom rope for 2. Kiz dropkicks Chika multiple times. Chika swats one away then slams Kiz off a crossbody attempt. Chika reverse giant swings her then drops her on the mat chest first.

Kouki hits a dominator on Kiz for 2. Kiz fujiwara armbars her then Yuz grounded octopuses Chika at the same time.

Kouki takes a double suplex thne Kiz top rope dropkicks Kouki. Kiz spin kicks Kouki and we go to a draw.

Thoughts: Yuz was the best girl in this which wasn't surprising. Kizuna could have hit some of her shots cleaner but she showed some good fire and energy here. Kouki and Chika didn't bring much to this one and it was just average overall.

Someone named Princess Tenko came out to dance with ActWresGirl'Z wrestlers. They wrestled around and danced. Commentary didn't talk about this one and I have no idea what this was about or why AWG is doing this considering Marigold just wrecked their roster.

Michiko Omukai came out and she's still hot. She brings out her daughter, Shinno Omukai, who is 15 and will be wrestling for Marigold. Shinno says she will train while she studies. 

CHIAKI & Nagisa Nozaki vs. Myla Grace & Zayda Steel

Zay is hit from behind by Chi then Zay is tripped into an NN baseball slide. Zay takes attacks on the ropes and NN reverse pendulum kicks her. Chi hits a bad chairshot on Zay. NN takes a facebuster then Chi takes a double superkick. Zay topes out onto Chi and Zay 2nd rope dives on NN.

Myla hits forearms on NN. Myla basement dropkicks her. NN double chops her then double chop flurries her. NN running facekicks Myla in the corner. chi running facekicks Myla. Chi cartwheel double knees Myla's back. Myla rolls Chi into a crossface.

Zay hits a bad unprettier on Chi for 2. NN chairs her opponents. Zay codebreakers a chair into NN. Zay and Myla get sent into each other with a chair in between. Chi then hits an interesting pendulum slam on Zay and gets the win.

Thoughts: This wasn't any good. The crowd was totally dead for this and it went too long. They had some sloppy moments here as well.

Zay and Myla argue then fight after.

Thoughts: It went long and was in front of the quiet crowd. It picked up some near the end but it just wasn't enough. It was a slog to get through and they didn't click the way they should have.

NORI, Shinobu Kandori & Takako Inoue vs. Mai Sakurai, Nanae Takahashi & Nao Ishikawa

They had an angle prior to this that wasn't on a show. Marigold was using LLPW's dojo and this match was for ownership of the dojo. 

Nori grabs Mai by the hair then all 6 brawl outside. NT throws Nori into the rails then Takako bangs Nao's head off the commentary table. Takako tombstones Nao then ddt's her. Takako double underhook suplexes her for 2.

Nori spin kicks Nao and step up enzugiri's her for 2. Nori high kiks and spinning high kicks Nao to win.

Thoughts: Some people didn't like this but I thought it was a fine trios match. Yeah, Kandori and Takako are limited, but they had Nori do all of the work and Nori had a good performance here with her kicks. I do think they should have had Nanae be in a bigger role on this show though considering she's maybe their best worker. Takako is sadly starting to show her age facially.

Nanae slaps Takako after.

Thoughts: Like their 6/23/24 match, they spent a long time working limbs then gave it up and just started trading bombs. Had they traded bombs the whole time, it would have been a lot better. I didn't like this match the first time they did it and I didn't like it much the second time either.

Thoughts: I didn't like Boz losing here, especially after Miku had already wrestled. Yes, it was a fluke but Boz was put over hard prior to this. It was okay with Miku being the underdog and getting the upset win. It wasn't the best match they could have had though.

Thoughts: They did too much here as expected with 2nd rope poisonrana's and 2nd rope german not being enough to finish off either girl. Iyo also took a really nasty bump outside that should have counted for more. They matched up well together and but I wasn't really surprised with how things went down. This is what Utmai does. Iyo won this one as expected. 

Iyo thanks WWE and Utami after. She says to believe in yourself and everyone around you. She says she will return and says to fight on.

G northern lights bombs her for 2. Sare wrist clutch exploders her for 2. G rolls her up for 2 then Sare fujiwara armbars her. The ref then stops the match.

Thoughts: This was a lame ending here. You just can't do stuff like this on a big show like this one. Giulia was injured. It wouldn't have been a big problem if she submitted. They didn't work the arm much at all here even though an armbar ended up being the finish. I didn't like the piledriver through the table not meaning much either. I do think Sareee winning the right call though. She'll be around more, she's going to make the roster look better and she's just a lot better of a worker. I thought this as so-so overall.

G and Saree talk after. G says Sareee is the ace now and says lots of people will come for her belt. She says she is coming to beat her next time. 

Everyone gets in the ring after. Giulia, Miku and Showzuki thank the crowd and put the show over. 

Overall thoughts: I wasn't a big fan of this one. Giulia/Saree had a bad ending and the match didn't build well to it. Utami/Iyo was the usual match where Utami does too much. I liked Miku/Boz, but I didn't like Boz losing. Miku/Mirai was a repeat of their bad match from 6/23. The LLPW vs Marigold trios match was okay. The crowd wasn't into Misa/Showzuki and they didn't click as well as they should have. The Zayda/Myla tag wasn't good. Rea Seto, Kizuna Tanaka and Yuzuki had good showings though in their matches.  The show didn't do a real great job of building to anything in the future either. The only obvious matches coming out of this are rematches in Giulia/Sareee (though depending on when Giulia leaves for WWE, it may not happen) and maybe Bozilla/Miku.
