Thoughts: It wasn't good. Three-ways are pretty clunky by default and they had 3 people who aren't great. KM botched her over the back roll into a ddt again and needs to stop doing that move. This was messy and we are not off to a good start here.

Thoughts: The outcome was obvious here so it was hard to get into it.Yuz didn't look that good against Boz. I didn't like Yuz being fed to Boz either when there's other girls who could have done it other than the future ace.

Myla sitout slams Nat. Myla hits her cancun tornado off the top and pins Nat in a surprise finish.
Thoughts: That was Myla's biggest win in this promotion. It's pretty shocking too since she often doesn't even win opening matches. The match was really average and far from anyone's best work.
Myla gets on the mic after. She said she was in the ring with 5 champs. She says she wants to be a champ too. She challenges Showzuki for her title. She asks for a title match at the Shinjuku Face show. Nat agrees.
Mirai's team talks on the mic after and Myla gets to do the, "Shine Forever, Marigold" line to close the show.
Overall thoughts: It was one of the worst Marigold shows yet. The undercard was really bad and the main was a pretty lazy effort. Shows like this make me want to not watch this promotion anymore and just made this promotion look so hopeless. I'd give this a 3 out of 10 and would not recommend it.
