Thoughts: Why would you have this go to a time limit draw? It's a three-way tag. There's nothing on the line. The results don't matter. This result was absolutely stupid. As always with these types of matches, the format made it hard for it to be good as so many people were involved and were coming in and out at various times. It was average.

Shinno then pounds on Rea after. Shinno's and Rea's teams then go at it after.

Thoughts: The finish was a bit random here as they weren't doing a ton of submissions. Hum did a decent job here and was working hard. It ended up just being average in the end though.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. They tried and followed the format but it wasn't anything too great. It wasn't a super serious main. There was nothing wrong with it, just nothing great either.

Yuuka talks on the mic after and closes the show. The girls are given gift bags for winning and Mayu tries to steal the stuff from them.

Here's some recaps from the backstage promos:

Aleah James talks after. She says she came to prove she's a worthy contender. She says she's been here for 2 months and she learned a lot. She says she must keep going and go to the finals.

Mila Smidt and Shinno talk after. Mila said they could have won this one. She says CHIAKI wanted to make it personal. She says Chiaki was lucky today and says when they face each other, there won't be any friends helping her. She says she will kick her @ss. 

Overall thoughts: Misa/Aleah was average. Diana/Shoko was so-so. Mega/Kouki was bad. Nagisa/Nao was below average with a bad finish. The three-way tag had a similarly stupid finish as they went to a draw for no real reason. That one was average. Hummingbird tried hard against Yuzuki but the match was average. The main was acceptable but nothing must see. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 overall. It was a below average and the show wasn't that good. The booking didn't help this one either. The main was probably the best match on here.
