Thoughts: It only went 10 minutes and wasn't too good as expected. Tank is not ready for this spot yet and had multiple sloppy moments. Utami got the win as expected.

Utami talks on the mic after and Megaton has words for her.

Overall thoughts: It was a house show with no Sareee or Nanae, so you know the deal. This was average at best. The main didn't look good on paper and wasn't that good. The semi main was okay and Rea's match was one of her better outings. The opener wasn't that good and Bozilla's match made sense but wasn't great. I'd just give this one a 5 out of 10 and would not recommend it.
