1. Ruaka & Arisu Nanase vs. Kaori Yoneyama & Tora Natsuko
Natsuko's use of the Goto Shiki was cool.

3. High Speed Championship: Kris Wolf (c) vs. Hiromi Mimura
This had its moments with counters and dramatic near-falls and the crowd was into it, believe it or not. Wolf is constantly showing growth while Hiromi unfortunately hasn't made much progress.
**1/4
4. Mayu Iwatani vs. Hana Kimura
Hana showcases her amazing ability to control the crowd. They are entranced. I enjoyed the character work here even though it was pretty standard match from an in-ring perspective. The crowd participation makes it feel special.
***1/2
5. SWA World Championship: Toni Storm (c) vs. Jungle Kyona
This was a surprisingly good match. Some strong building towards the finish.

6. World of Stardom Championship: Io Shirai (c) vs. Kairi Hojo
Great main event that played off of their previous matches via callbacks and counters. One of my favorite moments in the match is when Io's answer to Hojo's rapid-fire chops in the corner is simply walking out of the corner, that familiarity showed their growth as performers.
