Fresh off her successful tour in NWA Mexico where she became #1 contender to the NWA Mexican Women’s Title, Ayumi Kurihara comes to the ring wearing a sombrero. Cherry comes to ringside, she puts on Ayumi’s sombrero and mockingly dances. Ayumi springboards off the middle rope and dives over the top rope with a plancha suicida onto Cherry. Ayumi dives back into the ring.
Cheery eventually gets up and makes her way into the ring. The ref calls for the bell and Ayumi immediately hits Cherry with a facebreaker. Ayumi makes the cover and gets a three count.

Both girls walk to the ring looking serious. They are both stretching their legs before the bell. When the bell rings, they take up right where they left off last week by exchanging kicks. Neither backs away. Their kicks move up and down each other’s bodies from calves all the way to their heads. After about 5 minutes, they are both a bit wobbly but keep kicking. Finally Yuhi takes Evie off her feet with her jumping back kick. Yuhi collapses against the ropes.
Yuhi recovers first and use high impact moves to keep Evie off her feet. She tries for a few pin attempts but Evie kicks out each time. Evie gets her knees up when Yuhi tries a lionsault. Evie gets back to her feet first. Evie doesn’t go for high impact moves, she stays with what works best and kicks Yuhi while she’s down. Yuhi manages to roll to the floor once but Evie quickly gets her back in. Evie lifts Yuhi into a fireman’s carry. Evie pushes Yuhi off and hits her with the TTYL. Evie goes for the cover but the bell rings before the ref can count.
This match is declared a time limit draw

Lin comes to the ring, confident that she’ll actually get a match tonight. As she is testing out the ropes, she sees Shae Guevara come to ringside with a mic. Lin throws up her hands in disgust.

Shae Guevara - I’m so sorry to be the bearer of bad news for you again Lin. My new client, the beautiful Hiroyo Matsumoto, aggravated a wrist injury last weekend and has not been cleared to wrestle tonight. I know how much you want to wrestle, but once again, this just isn’t your lucky night.

Lin motions that she wants a mic. Alyson Hau hands her a mic.

Lin Bairon - With all these fans booing you, I couldn’t hear what you said. Come into the ring so I can hear you better.

Shae Guevara slowly climbs the steps and cautiously steps through the ropes. Shae steps closer to Lin. When she’s about a step away, Lin drops down into a split and hits Shae with an uppercut throat thrust. Shae grabs her throat as she falls to the mat. Lin pops up and is backing Shae into a corner. Lin bends to grab Shae when she is dropkicked from behind and driven into the turnbuckle by a masked woman. The masked woman springboards off the middle rope and takes Lin down with a reverse DDT. The masked woman helps Shae to her feet as a very large masked woman comes into the ring. The smaller masked woman is holding Lin face-down on the mat as the larger masked woman slowly climbs to the top turnbuckle. She jumps off and splashes Lin. Shae picks up the mic again.

Shae Guevara - Just like my first time, I was rudely interrupted before I could finish what I had to say. Senorita Bairon, meet my other new clients, Silueta and Goya Kong. Have a nice night and better luck next week!

Both girls are introduced and come to the ring. Martini is cautiously keeping an eye on Tomoka during Tomoka’s entrance and the warm ups. The bell rings and they lockup. They exchange the familiar headlock, takeover, leg scissors and escape routine twice each. They come in for a lockup again and Tomoka slaps Martini. Martini chases Tomoka around the ring. Tomoka trips and falls to the mat. When Martini approaches, Tomoka catches her with a drop toehold, sending Martini into the ref.
With the ref down, Tomoka takes a drink from her water bottle and sprays it in Martini’s face. Martini clutches at her eyes in pain. Tomoka grabs Martini and rolls her up with a schoolboy. The ref recovers and makes the three count.

#1 NWA Women’s World Title Contender

Ramu worked her way up the rankings until she won the JPP Openweight Title and has held onto the belt for almost three months now. Ever since JPP joined the NWA, Kana’s goal has been to win the NWA Women’s World Title. But for so long she was caught up in feuds. Since October, she has been on a mission to earn a shot at the title. Tonight is the opportunity for both girls to earn that title match.
The bell rings and they shake hands and have a staredown. They back away and slowly circle around before locking up. They push back and forth, neither gaining an advantage, before letting go. They come in for another lockup but Kana kicks Ramu in the leg; Ramu returns the kick. Kana kicks Ramu’s leg again; Ramu slaps Kana. They exchange kicks and slaps for a couple minutes until Ramu catches Kana’s leg and takes her down with a short clothesline.
Ramu immediately grabs Kana’s leg and quickly takes her over into a single leg Boston Crab. Kana tries to roll free but Ramu turns around and locks on a cross face also. Kana is struggling harder, clawing at the mat and eventually reaches the bottom rope. Ramu stays very close after breaking the hold. When Kana gets to her feet, Ramu stomps on one of them. Kana grabs her foot and Ramu stomps the other one. Kana dances away, shaking her feet. Ramu manages to grab one of Kana’s feet and, taking advantage of no boot, grabs the big toe. Ramu is pushing sideways on Kana’s toe, eventually sending her off balance to the mat. Ramu is still holding onto Kana’s big toe and turns into a high angle single leg Boston Crab. As Kana is struggling again, Ramu bites her toes. Kana screams in pain and Ramu releases her.
Ramu is smiling as Kana hops on one foot. Kana catches Ramu with a surprise kick to the head. Ramu lands several stiff kicks to the back of Ramu’s thigh. Kana dives in and locks on a reverse cross armbreaker. Ramu kicks her feet and claws with her free hand and eventually reaches the ropes, but the damage is done.
When Ramu gets to her feet, she is met with kicks to her injured arm. The kicks eventually send Ramu through the ropes to the floor. The ref starts the count. …1 ...2 …3 …4 …5 …6 Ramu climbs to the apron. Kana grabs her injured arm and yanks it over the top rope; Ramu falls back to the floor. The ref counts again …1 …2 …3 …4 …5 …6 …7 …8 Ramu climbs to the apron. Kana holds the ropes open. As Ramu is stepping through, Kan kicks her in the head; Ramu collapses into the ring. Kana pulls Ramu to the middle of the ring and locks on the Kanagon. Ramu struggles but there is no escape. Ramu has no choice but to tap out.
Kana forced Ramu Endo to submit to the Kanagon to earn a title match against Nattie Neidhart for the NWA Women’s World Title
