Both girls are looking very serious as they come to the ring. (ding, ding) Yuhi fires off a high kick that narrowly misses Hiroyo. When they do lockup, Yuhi slams Hiroyo’s leg with a kick. When they lockup again, Yuhi kicks Hiroyo’s leg again. Hiroyo hops away, shaking her leg. Hiroyo ducks Yuhi’s next kick and catches her with a roaring elbow.
Hiroyo controls most of the action with Yuhi only getting in brief flurries of offence. When Yuhi goes for a high roundhouse kick, Hiroyo manages to catch her and lift her into a backbreaker. Hiroyo drops Yuhi with the Hiroyo stone, covers her and gets the three count.

Tess is looking sullen as she waits in the ring. Lin is introduced and comes to the ring to a mixed reaction from the crowd. Tess meets Lin in the middle of the ring. Tess is talking animatedly while Lin is making talking and crazy motions with her hand. (ding, ding) Tess gets angrier as Lin just stares at her. Tess finally slaps Lin. Lin just smiles, quickly drops down in the splits and hits Tess with a wicked uppercut. Lin springs back to her feet, comes off the ropes and hits Tess with a cartwheel back elbow.
Lin continues to dominate the action with her gymnastic and martial arts skills. Tess eventually uses her power to turn the match around. Tess whips Lin into the far corner but Lin springs off the middle rope then the top rope and catches Tess coming in with a missile dropkick. Lin lifts Tess and drops her on the top rope. Lin springs off the middle rope and stuns Tess with an enzuigiri. Lin goes to an adjacent corner and leaps to the top turnbuckle. Lin walks along the top rope before doing a cartwheel to catch Tess and take her over with a frankensteiner. Lin looks at Tess then looks at the top turnbuckle again. Lin looks at the fans and points at the top turnbuckle; the fans cheer. Lin leaps to the top turnbuckle again. Lin leaps off and lands a sky twister press on Tess.

Taya and Yoshiko are already in the ring, arguing about something. Kaori and Tomoka are introduced and start walking down the aisle; Tomoka is carrying Pegaboo like a trophy. LuFisto and Martini Ip come through the curtain and ambush Kaori and Tomoka from behind. The brawl is on as they roll on the floor exchanging punches, hair pulling, gouges, kicks. Referees and officials try to break them apart.

Tomoka scrambles backwards up the aisle. Kaori breaks away and scrambles away also.
Taya picks up Pegaboo and hands her to LuFisto.

After the first long stretch of action the fans are applauding.
Cherry comes in for a lockup but Ayumi stops her with a kick to the gut. Ayumi quickly takes control of the action. Ayumi uses her repertoire of kicks and strikes to control Cherry.
