She drilled her with a roundhouse kick to the back and scored a two count.

Cat returned to the ring, where Player pounced on her, scoring a near fall. Cat came back with several kicks, almost scoring the pin. They battled until Cat spun over Player and cinched in an anklelock. Player fought her way out and nailed an inverted DDT but was too spent to capitalize.

Player rebounded off the ropes but was caught with a spinkick to the side of the head and was almost pinned. Cat measured and drilled Player with a running kick to the head and scored the pin.

A truly entertaining bout. They worked really hard.
Harajuku Stars - Maya Mamushi & Babyface vs. Dangerous Liaisons - Commander Nakajima & Lady Antoinette
They started fighting in the ring with the Stars whipped into each other but reversing it. Babyface nailed a bulldog on Lady A. Lady A and Nakajima sent Mamushi to the floor and doubleteamed Babyface, stomping away on her and choking her against the ropes. Nakajima sunk in a chinlock but was choking her. She scored several near falls before tagging in Lady A. A antagonized Manushi, so when she tried to hit the ring, the referee admonished her. This allowed Lady A to smack Babyface with a chain.

Mamushi made a comeback and drilled Lady A with hard kicks and forearms. She charged but the ref was pulled in front, allowing Nakajima to attack her from behind. Lady A choked and attacked, nailing a spinning slam for a two count. Nakanishi cut her off with a stomp to the stomach and kicked kicking away at her. She charged and nailed a boot to the face as Mamushi was caught on the ropes.
She finally missed and Mamushi made the comeback, or so it would seem, as A tripped her. Babyface had enough and attacked Nakanishi after Mamushi was pulled from the ring. She snapped an armbar on Nakajima. They battled to their feet where Nakajima nailed Babyface and went for the pin but Mamushi returned and broke it up. Nakajima hit a missile dropkick on Babyface off the top but again it was broken up. Lady A attacked Mamushi and choked her in the ropes. This allowed Nakajima to scored the pinfall with a fallaway slam into a bridge on Babyface.

Your winner, Ichigo Sayaka!
With the exception of the 10 seconds where the referee accidentally counted three and called for the bell, this was really entertaining and good.
Commander Nakajima confronted Ichigo and attacked her. The locker rooms spilled out and brawled. Bull Nakano demanded they stop and announced they would face off at the next event.
The show ran 90 minutes bell to bell and was one of the most professional first shows I've ever seen. They ran a tight ship and the audience loved it.
