Bea Priestley vs. Momo Watanabe

[7.0] "Okay, this was a good match, worthy of being on the show.. but a couple problems arose for me.. First, it was obvious Watanabe wasn't winning the match, given the title it was for is best suited for foreigners, Watanabe was getting the bulk of the offense and I still didn't buy she would win.. on top of that, we get to the finish and it was pretty flat. Still pretty good besides few issues."

[7.0] "I didn't think much of it when I first started it but I ended up really getting into this match. Every strike looked brutal and the holds and counterholds were nice. Very good sprint of a match that left me wanting more by the end."

[7.0] "Just edges out the opener for the best match on the show up to this point. The match was a lot more enjoyable for me when Momo was on offense, but Bea was by no means bad and held up her end of the match well."

[8.0] "Super good match from these two. It's good to see that Momo is still just as good in these mid-show matches as she is at the main events. Bea impressed me as well. She was uneven as a main eventer herself and I don't think a slow, methodical submission style suited her too well so Bea being more of the aggressive, bruiser allowed her to shine more. Both went at a fast but easy to follow pace. Bea was great on top, attacking the leg with Momo selling nicely from beneath. It was a well executed formula that escalated nicely. Perfect for the position on the show. ***3/4"

[7.0] "Solid match featuring some classic leg/ankle work and several nice spots and counters. Definitely better than what I'm used to from Bea."

[8.0] "Good match. The work on Momo's knee by Bea was really well done, and Momo's comebacks too. The only thing that I didn't like was that sometimes Momo forgot to sell the leg until Bea went back to it. Overall it was entertaining. ***3/4"

[8.0] "Putting these two girls in a match was a great idea. They have some history together and they have some unfinished business. Great action. Momo's new attire is awesome."

[8.0] "This was a great match minus the end where I think I the finisher should have be a different one since they worked on the Momo's leg most of the match only to finish her off with a move that had nothing to do with the leg so quickly. ****"

[8.0] "Very solid and pleasant match with only one flaw: Momo had started very well with the ankle selling and then she forgot about it after two minutes and it's a shame because Bea focused a lot on the ankle at the beginning of the match. That said, the match is solid, intense, with hard hits and good storytelling."

[8.0] "The fact that a match of this level is in the middle of the card says a lot about how stacked this show was. This was a world-title level bout between two of the most reliable big match performances on the roster, an intense grudge match with brawling, strike battles and big bombs. This could have easily closed a less stacked event. ****1/4"
