Athena comes out after and has words for Pers.
Dia goes after Pers and is hit with a back elbow. Athena gets in and is forearmed down. Pers pump kicks her. Dia saves Athena from a razor's edge. Athena's belt is left in the ring and Pers holds it up.
Overall thoughts: It was just a so-so show. There was nothing that good here and we had the usual squashes. I'd say The Outrunners' match was the best thing on here but that's not saying much. Dia/Pers should have been better than it was. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend it.
