Thoughts: The finish was really stupid here. You're gonna tell me not one of the 10 girls were able to make it in on time? No way. There were a lot of people coming in and out here without tags and having the brawling at the end of the match instead of at the beginning is something different. It was an average match with a really stupid finish.

Thoughts: Saya busted out some new stuff here like the falcon arrow in what likely her longest singles match to date. They had two sloppy moments but it was okay for what it was and I think it helped out both girls. I'm not a fan of Saya's new gear though as it makes her look like a mini Lady C. 

The girls talk on the mic and shake hands after.

Thoughts: It went longer than it needed to. It really wasn't that great. There was a decent bit of no selling and just no real story or even clear faces and heels. Kid worked Poi's leg for a bit but that went nowhere. It wasn't awful and while there were some good moments, it didn't come together in the end.

HATE come out after and beat up everyone but Saya. Saya Iida and Hanan help the faces out. Saya Kamitani holds a title in Tam's face on the apron. Tam then hits shots on her. Kid talks on the mic after and seems to want a shot at Poi's title. Poi holds her title in her face. Tam talks on the mic.

We get a highlight video of 2024 and a bunch of the wrestlers come in the ring to watch. Tam talks more on the mic after. fake snow comes from the sky and everyone poses together.

Overall thoughts: It was a longer show at over 3 hours. It had the usual Stardom style with people coming in and out without tagging and often no real faces or heels outside of HATE's matches. The main got more time than it needed and just wasn't that great. Miyu vs Sayaka wasn't a bad effort. Mei vs Momo was one of Momo's better matches and there was a bunch of comedy on this. There was also a stupid 10-woman tag that ended in everyone getting counted out. It was an average show and I wouldn't recommend it. I'll give it a 5 out of 10.
