Mio Shirai vs Io Shirai©

Yuhi has been down all week, coming off being pinned by Hikaru Shida for the second time. She lazily does a few warm-up kicks. Portia gets introduced and comes out looking very cocky and confident. She does a few poses, showing off her “muscles.” The ref calls for the bell.

Portia comes in for a lockup but Yuhi catches her with a roundhouse kick to the head. Yuhi covers Portia but only gets a two count. Portia scrambles to the ropes and holds on. She pulls herself up and circles around. Portia and Yuhi finally lock up. Portia surprises Yuhi with some very quick knees. Portia takes control of the action and uses her skill and experience to control the younger Yuhi. Even when Yuhi manages to get in some offence, Portia counters it or uses the ropes to force a break. Portia ducks a roundhouse kick from Yuhi. With Yuhi off balance, Portia grabs her in a double underhook, turns Yuhi over and drives her head to the mat. Portia covers Yuhi and gets the three count.

Taya, even though she holds the New Territories Tiara, is stepping up in competition tonight. She has followed in the footsteps of her opponent tonight, learned the basics in Canada and went to Mexico to hone her craft. Now the meet here in Hong Kong. Dark Angel comes out, looking very confident. They shake hands respectfully. The ref calls for the bell

Taya and Dark Angel lock up right away. Taya’s strength and size advantage are evident right away as she pushes Dark Angel into a corner. They lockup again and Taya pushes Dark Angel into a corner again. As Taya is pushing Dark Angel on the third lockup. Dark Angel uses Taya’s momentum against her and armdrags her into a turnbuckle. Dark Angel uses this opening to take the early advantage.

Taya eventually does manage to turn the advantage in her favour. She uses her repertoire of power moves but is unable to put Dark Angel away. Taya lifts Dark Angel onto her shoulders for a backbreaker. Dark Angel manages to slip free, grab Taya’s arm and take her to the mat. Still holding Taya’s arm, Dark Angel locks on a Fujiwara armbar. Taya tries to break free but wisely taps out.

Hikaru and Miyako are dancing, but looking more serious than usual as they come to the ring. The Dancing Queens asked for this non-title match to prove to the other wrestlers, and themselves, that they are one of the best tag teams. Hannah and Holly comes out, tossing cupcakes to the fans. They come into the ring and hand cupcakes to Hikaru and Miyako; Hikaru and Miyako put the cupcakes down in their corner. The ref calls for the bell.

Miyako starts the match, looking unusually serious and aggressive. Holly is caught off balance by this new Miyako. Miyako takes the early advantage and is in control for a couple minutes before tagging out to Hikaru. Hikaru retains the advantage for a couple minutes but the Blossoms manage to turn the match in their favour. The Blossoms show why they are the Unified tag Team champions by using great double team moves and using their version of twin magic to control the action. At the end, Hannah lifts Miyako for a Blossom Bomb but Miyako manages to counter it into a bulldog. With Hannah facedown on the mat, Miyako puts her in a camel clutch then pushes her into a Miyacoco Clutch. Miyako rolls over several times, holding onto the Miyacoco Clutch. She stops rolling and gets the three count.

Yoshiko comes out, looking a bit worried. She is looking all around as she waits in her corner. Syuri comes to the ring, lead by the fan from last week and followed by Makoto. Makoto is carrying an Irish flag. The fan, now known as The Scarlett, is wearing a black beret and has a green armband with 1916 on it. Makoto places the flag in the ringpost. Syuri climbs into the ring with her placid demeanour.

The referee calls for the bell. Syuri calmly walks to the middle of the ring. Yoshiko circles around but Syuri doesn’t watch her. Yoshiko comes at Syuri from behind, but Syuri steps aside and legsweeps her. Yoshiko charges in and Syuri calmly legsweeps her again. With Yoshiko on the mat, Syuri assaults her with a flurry of kicks all over her body. Yoshiko tries to get to her feet a couple times but Syuri kicks the back of her knees, sending her back to the mat.

Syuri looks over to The Scarlett who gives her a slight nod. Syuri turns back to Yoshiko and cracks her in the head with a roundhouse kick. Syuri sits on the back of Yoshiko’s legs, pulls her back and locks on a sleeper hold. The referee checks Yoshiko’s arm, it falls limp. The ref calls for the bell.
Syuri submitted Yoshiko with a modified Sleeper

Syuri is still holding the sleeper hold in as Makoto and The Scarlett come into the ring. Makoto is distracting the referee as The Scarlett encourages Syuri to hold on tighter. Martini Ip, Lisa Cheng and Lin Bairon run to ringside and quickly dive into the ring. The Scarlett, Syuri and Makoto slip out to the floor. The Scarlett grabs the ring mic from the timekeeper’s table.

The Scarlett - Well, isn’t this a pleasant surprise. Lin Bairon and her loyal little lemmings. Or are they the newest volunteers for my brigade. Are you sure that you can trust your followers Lin? I know I can trust my volunteers. It’s time for you ladies to choose.

Lin takes a step forward, leaving Lisa and Martini behind her. Lisa and Martini both grab Lin’s back and pull out a Hong Kong flag. They lift the flag over Lin’s head and stand on either side of her.

The Scarlett - You’ve made your choice. We gave you a chance to make the right choice and we warned you about what would happen. No more warnings and no more choices

JPP Junior Title

Mio comes to the ring for what may be the first ever sister vs sister title match. Will they actually fight each other or is this some sort of setup? Io comes to the ring and gets in her sister’s face, showing off the title belt. They stare at each other intently as the introductions are made. The ref calls for the bell.

They shake hands and circle around before locking up. Knowing each other as well as they do, neither is able to get an advantage. For over ten minutes, they go back and forth; hold and counter hold, submission and escape, pin attempt and escape.

Io finally wears down Mio. Io grabs Mio’s head, springboards off the middle rope and plants her with a tornado DDT. Io goes to the top turnbuckle and gets set for the Rider Kick. Portia Perez runs to the ring and shoves Io off the turnbuckle, sending her crashing to the floor. The referee calls for the bell. Portia steps through the ropes and waits for Mio to get up. When Mio gets to her feet, Portia hits her with a superkick. The fans are booing as Portia poses.
Winner by disqualification and still JPP Junior Champion, Io Shirai
