This was was your standard joshi fast paced all action match with but a big fight feel and lots of agression. They did an excellent job of trying to convince everyone that Kyona might actually beat Watanabe and win the title in her hometown and it worked. Kyona was fantastic working with such intensity pulling out everything to get the win. Watanabe was also great in her own with killer offense. With stiff kicks, forearm throws, and lots of bombs being thrown made this a MOTYC.

Wonder of Stardom Championship: Momo Watanabe (c) vs. Jungle Kyona

Great match. I liked the beatdowns and physicality before they got into the big time maneuvers and counters. Kyona gave a spirited performance as the hometown hero, hitting a Kinniku Buster (!) as a desperation maneuver, ultimately coming up short in grand fashion.
