Thoughts: It was fine and beat my expectations. Syu mostly did crabs here and won with a sharpshooter. There was a lot of technical wrestling in this and Matoi didn't look out of place at all. It was definitely one of Matoi's best showings yet.

Thoughts: It got a lot of time to play out. Ami's team kind of got buried here as HATE and Suzu couldn't even get alone yet they were still able to beat them. The story of this one was Suzu trying to be buddy-buddy with HATE and HATE having no interest in her. Suzu is now making her weight part of her gimmick, which I don't think is a good idea. It was acceptable.

Thoughts: It was short and not too serious. There was no less than 3 people in this at any time. Itoh's 4 person ddt spot was a new one. There were a lot of 3 person moves here. It wasn't boring and was something different.

Thoughts: It was fine. KF worked Aya's ankle a bit. They kept up an okay pace and the two teams had some chemistry going together. I didn't expect that much out of it, but they made everyone look on the same level.

Aya calls out Kikyo on the mic after. Aya then kicks both opponents out of the ring.

Thoughts: It was an alright tag. They kept it moving and Kog kept the comedy to a minimum. We didn't see much of anyone here because of the little time this got. Akira in particular got little in. Suzu winning was a bit surprising since it was her second match of the night.

Suzu talks on the mic after to Kid. Kid talks back and gets fired up some. Suzu talks more and puts her belt in Kid's face then leaves. Kid then talks more.

Thoughts: Big upset here with Rina pinning Utami. But, Rina has been picking up bigger wins lately and this is another example of it. Rina worked the knee a little here all through out. I thought it went a little long though and was just average.

Hina gets a 2 count on Han. Han wristclutch backdrops her and pins her.

Thoughts: I say pretty much the same thing in Hanan's singles matches. She tries but she's a very average talent. She doesn't really botch anything, but she doesn't excite either. Hina's in a similar position. Put the two of them together and you get an average match like this. This got too much time and just never got anywhere close to turning into something great.

Hanan talks to Hina on the mic after. Hina also talks on the mic to her and is disappointed about losing. She leaves. Hanan then talks more and does the STARS pose with her stablemates.

Overall thoughts: It was a different Stardom PPV than usual. They were at a smaller arena, they didn't have big matches lined up and they didn't have as many matches as usual. 

The opener was average. Syuri/Matoi was a lot better than I expected and was mostly technical wrestling. Suzu's match with HATE was different as she tried to work with them to no avail. Maki Itoh's match was different but not serious. Rian's match was fine as was the 8-woman tag. The semi-main and main were both average. 

There was nothing you would really need to see here. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as I thought it was an average show overall. I don't think there was a clear match of the night here.
