ICExInfinity Championship: Saori Anou (c) vs. Maika Ozaki
This was better than I was expecting. Maika Ozaki has a personality deficiency, but Saori Anou did her best creating a story of sheer struggle around Maika's power and size advantage. Allowing herself to get battered around and look vulnerable until her final comeback at the end, Anou's selflessness as a performer shined once again. I think she is a viable choice for champion, but she's still a freelancer and not an official member of the roster. I would like to see roster members try to get the belt back from her rather than just watch as she defends against other outsiders. ***1/2
