[7.0] "*Rating is for tournament matches only* This was such a weirdly structured card leading to an anticlimactic match to finish on. That being said, Iroha vs Utami was a banger and SLK vs Momo was very good too."

[7.0] "This was a really good show that would've benefitted if the match order been a little bit better. Finishing with the Mayu/Saki match wouldn't have been my decision, especially after that excellent clash between Utami and Takumi."

[8.0] "This was the last big show before the finale on PPV, and it was certainly an eventful one. The undercard consisted of one of the biggest highlights of the year, as Lady C finally got her first victory. The long round of applause for her, her reaction to winning and the emotional promo after was all very touching. The other two non-tournament matches were also good for what they were. As for the Grand Prix matches, Koguma vs Fukigen was hilarious, AZM vs Konami was really good but shockingly short and Syuri/Ruaka was what it needed to be. Momo vs SLK was really good, but the interference ending bothered me and hurt the match. The postmatch promo was fun and weird though, and the aftermath was good. Mayu/Saki was an odd choice to headline, as it was under eight minutes and nothing stood out about it. The postmatch promo was fine but yeah, unless it leads to Mayu beating SLK on Saturday, it will have been for naught probably. Takumi/Utami was the clear MOTN, full of back and forth action and a PPV quality **** match. I would love to see a rematch down the road. All in all, this was a 7 and a half out of 10 show, that is getting bumped up to an 8 because of Lady C. It was the last big event before the PPV and it delivered as it needed to."
