5. Maika & Giulia vs. Utami Hayshishita & Saya Kamitani
Maika's Fukuoka homecoming delivered an outstanding tag match featuring a premier lineup. They left no holds barred, exchanging relentless offense for a thrilling 16 minutes. The exceptional teamwork and well-timed cut-offs heightened the intensity of the action. Maika & Giulia were captivating as a dynamic tag team, rampaging through the former tag team champions Utami & Saya. They don't often team up in 2v2 so this really felt special and left me yearning for more of their dynamic chemistry in the future. ****1/4
8. Wonder of Stardom Championship: Mina Shirakawa (c) vs. Natsupoi
Mina Shirakawa's V1 against Natsupoi was a clash of two wrestlers who have been steadily fine tuning their styles. Mina focused on classical leg-targeting techniques, while Natsupoi relied on swift thrust kicks and suplexes. The match maintained a consistent and linear approach, creating a "close-quarters" atmosphere that I enjoyed. A well-executed rope break added drama to the climax. Chanmina demonstrated her ability to deliver a championship main event in her first defense, allowing the challenger to shine while convincingly overcoming them. ****
