Giulia, MIRAI & Thekla vs. Himeka, Maika & Syuri

[8.0] "A really good effort with all the DDM members having great chemistry with each other. Enjoyed Giulia/Syuri and Maika and Himeka/Mirai particularly, and particularly Mirai impressed me in this match, seeing her ragdoll everyone around was a lot of fun. Just very fluid, well paced and action packed. Felt like they could have went longer."

[8.0] "I really enjoyed the match, especially the Gulia - Syuri segments, I can not wait for that match, the match was better then expected. ****."

[7.0] "Time Limit Draw was obvious here, you can smell it simply looking at the card. This is a 3v3 filled with good spots, excellent Tag Work from both teams and a lot of intense strike exchanges and amazing sequences. Sometimes I forgot Thekla was in this match, I think she should've had more time to shine. The final sprint was amazing, Giulia and Syuri are going to give us a MOTYC at Ryogoku Kokugikan. ***3/4"

[8.0] "A very strong 6 person tag. Though the finish seemed obvious, tag offence in the back third did a bit to make it seem like an upset finish was possible. The match clearly demonstrated a narrative that showcased the relative closeness of Mirai/Thekla to Giulia when compared to Himeka/Maika's closeness to Syuri - leaving Giulia's capacity to to beat Syuri in singles in doubt if she can't get the job done with a well tag unit behind her whose only focus is on getting her the victory. I've been high on MIRAI since her first day in STARDOM and she really showed up here today. Her rework of her presentation since she moved from TJPW has been a resounding success, revealing a promising future uppercarder and potential red belt contender where a forgettable undercarder once stood. I really look forward to the day she and Himeka get to tear it up in the 5Star GP or Cinderella. ***3/4"

[6.0] "A highly competitive, solid six-woman whose denouncement was sadly obvious. With all of the moving parts, chaos began to overwhelm the story; that is, Giulia or Syuri's attempt to pin one-another in-anticipation-of their red-belt bout scheduled at Ryogoku. Though the final few minutes had the primary players involved, by-then the charm of the match wore-out on me outside MIRAI whose passion & feeling translates well-to-me. Of the six, Thekla and Maika made the least impression. 3 1/6 - 1/4 Kudos to 'CFOS' for the 12th draw in 16 shows statistic. Stardom appears to be reverting to 80s AJPW (for what it's worth a draw ='s a no contest)"

[7.0] "Good internal faction fight and a good way to hype Syuri coming title defense against Giulia and tease a civil war between all the members. I was really happy to see Himeka and Mirai going at it as it was something I couldn? t wait to see."

[8.0] "ANOTHER draw, which will always be a negative to anything, but for this match it worked. Clearly something is going on within DDM, from Giulia bringing in 3 new people this year, including Mai Sakurai, and Himeka's growing anger, and Syuri holding the red belt... this is just another step in that story, and a very good one. Besides Giulia and Syuri, Mirai probably looked the best. Let me tell you since joining Stardom, she has looked fantastic. That woman sure can run the ropes. ****"

[8.0] "This was a short 20 minute trios match that showed the vividness of the new DDM. Each member was given their moments to shine, and Giulia and Syuri previewed their upcoming title match in hard-hitting segments. ****"

[8.0] "It's our one mandatory, kind of annoying time limit draw per show. Match was great, it really was. I mean just look at the names involved. Syuri and Giulia beat each other the hell up, Maika/Himeka and MIRAI were bumping meat. If they're eventually going for a DDM split, it would've made more sense to have Giulia's team win to generate more tension but oh well, I expected the draw. ****"

[8.0] "As expected, this match was really good, highlighted by Syuri and Giulia going at it, and was the best on the show to this point. Also as expected, it went to a draw because it feels like Stardom has an addiction to doing draws on almost every show. There was no reason why Mirai couldn't afford to take the pin. I get that the purpose was to add some fodder for next month's Syuri/Giulia match, but that doesn't mean a PPV match shouldn't have a finish. I'm still giving it an 8 due to quality, but I do wish it didn't go the distance."
