Thoughts: It went a little long for the opener but the match was fine. Mazz lost her as expected.

AZM gets on the mic after. She says she won and says she's a double champ. She then starts a chant for herself and talks to Kid about their Yokohoma Arena match. Kid then holds her title up at her.

Jody Threat & Suzu Suzuki vs. Airica & Unagi Sayaka

Here's an interesting mix of girls.

Thoughts: It was alright. It didn't get a ton of time and wasn't anything special. Airica didn't get much offense in here and mostly took the whooping in this. We didn't see much of Jody here. 

Hazuki & Kelsey Heather vs. STARS (Hanan & Saya Iida)

Hanan pinned Kelsey with a cuty special. Hanan botched her finisher twice here. Kelsey didn't have a bad showing here and combines with her being decent looking and somewhat athletic, I wouldn't be shocked to see her make more appearances. I can't say she looked any worse than Hanan or Saya. If you were looking to see a lot of Hazuki, this was the wrong match for you as she didn't do a ton here.

Empress Nexus Venus (HANAKO & Mina Shirakawa) vs. HATE (Momo Watanabe & Natsuko Tora)

Tora has like leopard spots on her head. Mina did her dance for her entrance as usual.

Thoughts: It was an average match. The heels cheated then it cost them in the end when they screwed up on it and Mina got the pin. It probably got a little more time than needed.

Mina gets on the mic after. She says the forbidden door was opened between Stardom and AEW last year. She says she will keep surprising us and asks if we want Mina.

Syu chest kicks Kal for 2. Kon gets speared by Vip then Syu spin kicks Kal in the gut. Kal rolls up Syu for 2. Syu flying knees Kal for 2. Syu powerslams/emerald flowsions Kal and wins.

Thoughts: Vipress put on weight and her new look is a massive downgrade from her old one. Syu and Kon were a lot better than the other two in this match and put out more effort than the other two did. It was just a match and definitely disappointing for being a semi-main.

Thek backrolls Mai for 2. Mai lariats Thek then michinoku drivers her for the win.

Thoughts: It was an okay main. They tried a little as we got a ramp move and some top rope moves. It wasn't anything particularly great or memorable, but it had clear faces and heels and the work was okay enough.

Maika says something to Thek on the mic after that I couldn't understand. Thek says Maika was cooler when she was in DDM. She says she's been lame as sh!t since she joined Mina. She tells her good luck as Mina is leaving her. Maika hugs her from behind and Thek pushes her.

Maika talks more gibberish and says thanks you and see you tomorrow.

Overall thoughts:  It wasn't that strong of a show. The main was the only thing that really had any business being on here and that was just an okay main. There were a bunch of US indy wrestlers on this one even though the whole selling point was seeing the Stardom girls. The US girls didn't exactly impress either. I'd just give this a 5 out of 10 and thought Stardom treated this one like a house show.
