Match Card Breakdown:
- Yuzuki vs. Miku Aono:
A high-octane opener between two promising newcomers. Yuzuki’s agile offense met Aono’s resilience in a match that electrified the audience and set the tone for the night. - Rina Amikura & Natsumi Sumikawa vs. Kanon & Chika Goto:
This tag team clash offered smooth chemistry and explosive momentum shifts. Double-team maneuvers, crowd pops, and momentum swings made this a highlight for tag division enthusiasts. - Victoria Yuzuki vs. Ayame Sasamura:
A compelling technical contest. Victoria displayed crisp grappling and transitions, while Ayame countered with sheer heart and striking power. One of the night’s most emotionally resonant matches. - Sareee, MIRAI & Nao Ishikawa vs. Nagisa Nozaki, Riko Kaiju & Misa Matsui:
A high-energy, unpredictable six-woman brawl. Each wrestler had a standout moment, but it was the seamless chaos and dramatic near-falls that stole the show mid-card and had fans roaring from the stands. - Jungle Kyona vs. Yurika Oka:
A physically brutal and emotionally intense encounter. Kyona returned to form with her signature brute force, but Oka’s defiant counters and stamina transformed this into a war of attrition. The closing minutes had a “main event” aura. - Takumi Iroha vs. Utami Hayashishita:
A true Joshi epic. Both powerhouses brought their best to the table, delivering strikes, suplexes, and psychological warfare that had fans holding their breath. Utami, after surviving a flurry of near-finishes, sealed the win with a perfectly executed BT Bomb. Post-match, she gestured toward the title belt — a clear signal of her championship intentions.
