1. Momo Watanabe vs. Nao Yamaguchi
Decent veteran-rookie match with the highlight being Nao's Axe Bomber. Again, I'm impressed by Nao's charisma, from her pre-match promo to how she carried herself in the ring.

2. Leo Onozaki vs. Natsuko Tora
Quite enjoyed this. Natsuko was working as the aggressor, she was great in the role, and Leo performed well in her debut.

3. Future of Stardom Championship Tournament - Semi-Finals: AZM vs. Shiki Shibusawa
This doesn't even close to the level of the previous matches in this tournament, but it was solid enough. They both fought with urgency.
**1/4
4. Jungle Kyona, Konami & Ruaka vs. Tam Nakano, Starlight Kid & Keneisha Moon
Keneisha Moon looks cool, but man, she was abhorrent. First half of this was awful thanks to her. Poor Konami. Ruaka did great, and the interactions between her and SLK were the highlight.

5. Mayu Iwatani & The Apache Sisters (Mary Apache & Faby Apache) vs. Oedo Tai (Kagetsu, Sumire Natsu & Hana Kimura)
Another spectacular performance from the Apache Sisters, and a great segment between Mayu and Hana.

6. Artist of Stardom Championship: Queen's Quest (Io Shirai, Viper & HZK) (c) vs. Toni Storm, Bea Priestley & Xia Brookside
A fine semi-main, nothing special, but I had fun watching it. Good action and flow, and Io's exchanges with Toni and Bea were top notch.
**3/4

7. Gauntlet Match: Hiromi Mimura vs. Hanan, Shiki Shibusawa, Starlight Kid, AZM, Natsuko Tora, Tam Nakano, HZK, Kagetsu, Viper, Io Shirai, Mayu Iwatani & Kris Wolf
Wow, this turned to be a surprisingly amazing match and one of my favorites of the year so far. Every segment was enjoyable and had something special to offer.
