KM rolls over her back for a ddt. Momo straight punches her then KM rolls her up. KM cradles her and Momo blocks a pin attempt for 2. KM rolls her into a pin attempt for 2. Momo then rolls her up and wins.

Thoughts: It was little more than a rookie style match with them trying a bunch of pin attempts and not doing anything too crazy moves wise. It was okay but not great.

They shake hands and Momo eye pokes her after.

Thoughts: It was another rookies style match like the last one. They didn't do anything too crazy here but Yuz getting the win was a surprise. Japan usually doesn't let people as young as Yuz pick up wins like that. Yuz looked just as good as Zay did here.

Thoughts: The purpose of this was to push that Misa and NS couldn't work together and they eventually fought. The match wasn't that much here. It just wasn't long enough nor did it have the right spot on the card to be that great.

NS and Misa fight more after.

Thoughts: I wish they had more time for this. I thought they could have explored Boz beating up on Nao more and I would have liked to have seen Boz and NT fight more. What we saw of NT vs Boz fighting in this one was the best stuff in the match. Myla had a better outing here than she did at the start of this promotion and she seems to have cut some of the moves from her arsenal that weren't looking too great. It was average to slightly okay overall.

Thoughts: It was just an average main. Mirai vs Miku was the best part of this. I know they want Kouki and Chika to be stars but Chika isn't athletic enough and I just don't see it at all in Kouki.

Mirai gets on the mic after and Miku takes it away from her. They set up a match and I think they also told the crowd about another show in the area in the future.

Overall thoughts: It was just an average show. They took it easy on this one and there were no real stand out matches. I wouldn't recommend it.
