Thoughts: It wasn't good. Chika had a worse showing than Yuuki did here. They had some sloppy moments here and even if they had a good night, this was not going to be a classic due to the talent levels involved. 

Myla Grace vs. Zayda Steel vs. Komomo Minami

Thoughts: Ah, another Marigold time limit draw. I thought it was obvious they were going to a draw once they started doing time announcements. The match was okay but we didn't get a real ending to it and we never really got to see what it could be. So it's hard to put it over that much.

Mirai and Mai are sent into each other then NT and Nao lariat each other on accident. NT and Nao are STO'd together. Mai germans Nao for 2 then glorious drivers her for the win.

Thoughts: Easily the best match Nao has ever been involved in and she got a chant for it. It was a good tag here with the girls all being fiery and Nao stepping up big. Nao busted her lip or something during this. Mirai really didn't even get a ton in here as Nao and Mai were the main focus. I'd really like to see this again at Korakuen.

Mai talks on the mic at Nanae after and they shove each other. Nanae talks to her then Kouki and Chika come down. They seem to want a crack at the tag titles and Mai maybe accepts. Mirai gets on the mic after.

Overall thoughts: The main was the only really good thing on here and had Nao's best performance to date. The semi-main was okay but there was nothing else worth seeing here. It was about average overall and I wouldn't really recommend it.
