Three Way 12 Man Tag Team Match - God's Eye (Hina, Lady C, Ranna Yagami & Tomoka Inaba) vs. Empress Nexus Venus (Maika, Waka Tsukiyama & Xena) & Rian vs. Neo Genesis (Mei Seira, Miyu Amasaki, Starlight Kid & Suzu Suzuki)

Hina ended up getting the win over Miyu here. It started off fast paced but mostly just had 2 people in it for the majority of this despite so many people being involved. It went a little longer than it needed to and I expected a bit more than what we got. Lady C had a good showing here and it was a bit hard to keep track of things.

Thoughts: It was a dumb match with them goofing off to start with partners attacking partners then them turning it into a serious match. The work wasn't anything too special and despite them being partners, they mostly had a normal match without playing up some of the issues stablemates might have fighting each other.

Kog gives the girls the mic to talk after and Kog is crying over this. Everyone dog piles on Haz and hugs her and Saya cries. Everyone signs Happy Birthday to Hazuki after.

Overall thoughts: It was a decent show overall. It was a little longer than it needed to be though. There was nothing must see on this one but the main, semi main and opener were all fine.
