Stardom - Stardom in Sunshine (6/25/2023)
Loser Leaves Unit Cage Match: Utami Hayashishita, Saya Kamitani, AZM, Hina, Lady C & Miyu Amasaki vs. Natsuko Tora, Starlight Kid, Momo Watanabe, Saki Kashima, Ruaka & Rina
Stardom's take on Dragon Gate's survival cage match. The match started with a crowded ring of 12 but somehow didn't turn into a mess. The space management, speed and coordination of the action was nothing short of amazing. Everything seemed timed perfectly. Every wrestler in the match was given their moment to shine, even those who weren't in the cage for long. The dramatic storytelling of the match was also top-notch. I burst into tears when Saya struck Momo with the bat and helped a gravely wounded Utami escape. Many people anticipated that Queen's Quest would split due to the mounting tension between Utami and Saya leading up to the match. However, they defied expectations by strengthening their bonds instead. Classic match. ****3/4
