Thoughts: They did too much here with a full-nelson slam through a table and a top rope german not meaning much here. I thought they did okay with Tam being the face and taking a beatdown before making her comeback but this wasn't as good as it could have been. They talk on the mic after and Tam closes the show on the mic.

Overall thoughts: It was your usual Stardom PPV with most of the matches going longer than needed and with multiple singles matches on top of the show. I'm never really a big fan of these shows. The semi-main was a decent American style match. Thek/Poi was fine. Hazuki/Kid had their match about half-right but it could have been more focused and the undercard wasn't much as usual. I didn't like the main event on this one. It was about average overall.
