Stardom - Shining Stars 2016 (8/5/2016)

Wonder of Stardom Championship: Kairi Hojo (c) vs. Chelsea

Everything here felt like it had a purpose. Hojo wrestled smart, sticking to her core offense and not doing anything out of reach. I liked the way Chelsea used her height as a defensive tool. The submission work looked rough in a good way, the sluggish transitions sold the exhaustion and struggle of both wrestlers.
