Victoria Yuzuki vs. Komomo Minami

Yuz = Victoria Yuzuki, KM = Komomo Minami

KM armdrags and basement dropkicks her. Yuz slams her for 2. KM camel clutches her. KM ddt's her and hits a basement dropkick. KM slams her then dropkicks her. Yuz dropkicks her back. Yuz walks up the buckles and facebusters her. Yuz then hits a springboard dropkick for 2.

KM cradles her for 2 and rolls her up again. KM botches her roll over the back ddt for 2. Yuz superkicks KM twice. KM does her version of the tequila shot and wins.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good. KM had multiple botches here and Yuzuki looked a lot better. They might both be rookies but Yuzuki is so much further along.

Myla Grace & Nao Ishikawa vs. Minami Yuuki & Rea Seto

Nao has new green and orange gear that I don't like. Myla side headlocks Yuuki then chinlocks her. Nao and Myla take chest forearms in the corner then they do attacks on their opponents at the same time. Myla dropkicks Yuuki through the ropes.

Yuuki throws Myla over by the arms. Myla forearms her over and basement dropkicks her for 2. Nao comes in and shoulders Yuuki over. Nao crabs Yuuki. Yuuki hits a decent dropkick on Nao. Yuuki russian legsweeps her for 2.

Nao and Myla hit stereo lariats. Rea takes a double suplex for 2. Myla sitout slams Rea. Myla then top rope corkscrew splashes her for the win.

Thoughts: Yuuki Minami had a good showing and Rea is also making some improvements. This was kind of a waste of Nao though and a step back from how she's been used lately. I hope she's not going back to doing opening matches. It wasn't that good and was definitely a lowercard match. 

Naho Yamada vs. Kizuna Tanaka

I'm interested in this one. Naho sang during her entrance. Naho hits a chest forearm and multiple dropkicks. Kiz dropkicks her back for 2. They trade chest forearms.

Thoughts: The selling was horrible here. Someone would do a move and then be put in a pin attempt by the time you blinked. Naho worked the knee early then completely forgot about it after. These two aren't that different from each other in the ring. I wanted to like it but I didn't.

Thoughts: They went to a 15 minute draw for this one. They didn't make the best use of their time and wasted a lot of it early on. It just wasn't that good of a match with sloppy execution. The finish didn't help things either.

The four girls fight after. Miku and NT talk on the mic after.

Thoughts: It was an okay main but nothing too great. I thought it needed more time for the match they were doing and didn't get close to being anything great. Chi losing was the expected outcome here.

Overall thoughts: They had another show following this so no one was going to do anything too crazy since they had to work twice. As always, it's notable when Sareee is not on the card and she was not on this one. This was not their best work or effort here and I'd give it about a 4 out of 10. I would not recommend this one.
