Sumie Sakai vs. Trish Adora

[8.0] "A technical, physical matchup between young star and veteran. They put over the martial arts/fighting training these two have on commentary and that comes into play at times with the submission work. Awesome suplexes from both women, a great little chop sequence, a cool dive catch into Cattle Mutilation on the floor, and a really smart flash-pin cover from an attempted armbar to finish it. Really cool sprint that puts Adora over (and ROH were smart to invest in her, she's a rising star and got the crowd into this match very easily) while somewhat protecting Sakai. ***1/2+"

[6.0] "A nice little match. I'm not a huge fan of both competitors, but they made it watchable, pleasant and decent. Sumie Sakai really made Trish Adora shine here, maybe it was a little short. 3*"

[6.0] "It was a good match, Sumie never really showed much of her ability prior to the rebrand and she's now showing it as she has better opponents, the match was good, didn't have any real flaws, a couple missteps that didn't take away from it, my only problem was that it was too short, at only 6 minutes this could've easily gone 3-4 minutes longer and still not be a "long" tv match."

[6.0] "Short, watchable match which probably should've last a little longer. A couple of miscued spots but the work was generally fine for the most part. As fantastic as Trish Adora is, she never kicked it into a higher gear due to the match length. I loved how she countered Sumie's crossbody to outside into a cattle mutilation though. Her striking continues to look extra lethal. The win came a bit out of no where but it was a creative pinning cover. There was also a noticeable crowd reaction to Trish, indicating her growing recognition and reputation in wrestling. I'd give this one around **1/4"
