6. Tsukasa Fujimoto & Hikaru Shida vs. Hamuko Hoshi & Makoto
This was a great match regardless of whether or not you know the history of the Tsukasa Fujimoto & Hikaru Shida team. Fujimoto was working hardest of the four to make the match something special, and Hoshi & Makoto put up a formidable front against the strongest tag team in Ice Ribbon's history. ****
7. ICExInfinity Championship: Tsukushi (c) vs. SAKI
SAKI is known for her strong lower body which makes her an ideal partner for small opponents who use aerial techniques. There were a couple of moments here where she made use of that core strength to counter or make Tsukushi's offense look amazing. As a whole though, this felt all too similar to Tsukushi's previous defenses. She took a bunch of damage, shrugged it all off, and made a comeback that felt brief and unearned. Against a big and strong opponent like SAKI, I'd like to have seen Tsukushi dig deeper for the win. ***
