Nat high kicks her down and fisherman suplexes her. Nat meteora's her for 2. AJ flying forearms her for 2. AJ kicks her in the shoulder then pendulum ddt's her. AJ top rope crossbodies her and pins her.
Thoughts: It was average. Showzuki rarely ever impresses. James doesn't have a lot of fire in the ring and a lot of her offense doesn't look good, which limits her. I also thought this went too long. I didn't expect much and I didn't get much.

They lock up. Mega rolls her up for 2 counts. The bell rings for some reason but the ref says it was only a 2 count. Mega backslides Goto for 2. Goto boots her and they shoulder battle. They both fire up and Goto shoulders her over. Got hip attacks her on the ropes.

Thoughts: It was an upset here with Mega getting a rare win. There wasn't a ton of difference between the two here as they mostly did splashes. I wouldn't call it good but it was a little more tolerable than the usual Megaton match.

Thoughts: It got a decent bit of time here. Rea had some nice looking flying facekicks and KA did her usual offense. Rea did work the arm a bit here but Kouki won, so there was only so much that could be done with that. Kouki has not improved at all since she started with Marigold and I doubt she ever will. It was acceptable.
Miku Aono, Nagisa Tachibana & Yuuka Yamazaki vs. Komomo Minami, Mayu Iwatani & Victoria Yuzuki

Thoughts: It got a lot of time and was an alright main event. It was similar to some of the other tag main events we got on this tour. It was fast paced, with a lot of action and people coming in and out. Nagisa spent the most time in this one for her team and there were a lot of girls here we didn't see all that much. Komomo seems to be getting a bit better than she used to be.
Komomo talks on the mic after to close the show.
In the post-show promos:
Misa Matsui and Nagisa Nozaki ask Diana Strong if she wants to join Darkness Revolution. Diana agrees and says they are a great time. They shake hands and say "friends".
Aleah James says she lost an eye lash in her match. She says she wants to ride her momentum forward and says she can't get too complacent.
Mila Smidt says CHIAKI is always in her way and is sneaky. She says she cheats everytime and says she needs to be careful. She says this time was a warning and it's personal now.
Overall thoughts: I liked the opener and thought it set a good tone for the show. Showzuki/Aleah was average. Goto/Megaton wasn't that bad. Mila/CHIAKI was acceptable as was Kouki/Rea. The main was fine. I'd say the opener was the best match of the night here. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall as it was okay.
