Stardom - 7th Anniversary (1/21/2018)

4. Mayu Iwatani vs. Rachael Ellering

Good return match for Mayu - all of the good Mayu elements are here. Ellering did her job well, though her bumping for Mayu's signature offense was awkward at times. Solid stuff overall; I'm excited to see Mayu back in the ring.

***1/4

5. Loser Leaves Unit - Gauntlet: Oedo Tai (Kris Wolf, Sumire Natsu, Kagetsu, Hana Kimura & Tam Nakano) vs. Queen's Quest (AZM, Io Shirai, Viper, HZK & Momo Watanabe)

This was an amazing match, the stakes are high and you can feel the tension. Sumire's sleazy heel character has quickly become one of my favorite things in Stardom - she was so good in this. The Kagetsu-Viper segment had breathtaking spots, and Hana-HZK was a heated back and forth that ends with an insane bump. The final between Momo and Tamu was rough at times, but they fought with a lot of heart and the crowd was hot.

****1/4
