1428.07.2022Thenwoagedbadly7.0This match should have undoubtedly gone longer (but perhaps Stardom are saving a longer match for another time) but there was numerous quality elements here: Mina using actual wrestling psychology and targeting one of Himeka's knees, Himeka's selling of aforementioned knee, nice pacing and I absolutely loved Himeka rushing out to sneak attack Mina; there is nowhere near enough of those kind of standout little moments in Stardom matches. All in all a pretty good little singles match that Stardom now churn out so effortlessly. Finally, when watching Himeka's performance here, and also thinking about her recent match with Syuri, it's easy to see that if Stardom should ever give her a sustained push to the top she's more than ready to meet their requirements.
1516.07.2022jboyaquar6.0I don't know what the feud is based-on, the significance of the Koshinaka-like headband, but both ladies are very good at building interest in their singles feuds. The only conceivable way I see Mina winning is either by-fluke or she cuts Himeka in-half. She succeeds in the latter, and the match is good, but when the power big female tries to match her by also being scientific, my interest drops. Beat the smaller woman up, powerbomb her senseless, but contrast her. Thankfully, for the match's sake, Mina continues to dominate by attacking that left knee to-the-point that Himeka can't even run-the-ropes. Her strategy, and H's selling, were so successful that I thought she should have won-the-match. But H was able to use science to reverse a figure-four into a tidy rollup. Relatively short, but I liked it. 3 1/5

1707.07.2022Amesdorito7.0This match was so good, I loved how they focused on if Himeka could recover from the knee damage, i really liked Mina working on the legs, the ending downgraded it for me just seemed really out of nowhere

2302.07.2022nWo-Joshi-Guy6.0I liked this and it was interesting but it also kind of felt like a WWE style match; with only part of the story/match happening here and the rest being saved for next time. Either way I am looking forward to their next encounter. The pin was really cool.

3527.06.2022aguakun7.0Mina controlled the pace with a focused attack on the leg. The damage accumulation played into the finish of the match, and even though Himeka was able to win using Mina's own move against her; Mina controlled the match right up until the end, making timely counters aimed at the leg whenever Himeka seemed to be gaining control. The gap between the two appears to be shrinking. ***1/2

3727.06.2022TeenageDirt6.0I was really hyped for this as they showed some good chemistry in the last weeks in their tag matchs. It still was fun with Himeka pulling a nice counter in the end to get the win, but I never really fully got into the match.

4027.06.2022hbg7.0Überraschend starkes Match, das ich den beiden so gar nicht unbedingt zugetraut hätte. Man hat sich aber zum Glück dafür entschieden, eine relativ einfache Geschichte (Beinarbeit gegen die physisch überlegene Person) konsequent zu verfolgen und bis zum Ende durchzuziehen. Dass Himeka dann am Ende gezwungenermaßen auf Minas Einroller zurückgreifen muss, weil der Körper ansonsten zu nichts mehr fähig war, rundet das Match wunderbar ab. ***1/2

4926.06.2022konthedon8.0Saying that this match blew my expectations out the water would be an understatement. They were explosive out the gate and maintained that high intensity throughout the entire match. Mina and Himeka have excellent chemistry together and it resulted in a fluid match that captured your attention. The only reason I didn't give this a 9 was because of the finish.
5026.06.2022Suzukigun7.0This match was yet another reminder to Mina's detractors that she really has improved in the past year. She has been consistently good and reliable for a while now and never has a bad match anymore. Her last disappointing one was probably the Future of Stardom title defense last July, which was over 11 months ago. Here, she went toe-to-toe with Himeka and Himeka had to escape to win. The result was never in doubt, but Mina earned Himeka's respect by taking it to her and being competitive for the entirety of the ten-minute match. If the two wind up in the same Grand Prix bracket, I'd love to see a rematch in the coming months.
5126.06.2022NoSell7.0Pretty good actually. I was so happy to see the normal version of Mina and not the cringe Dark one she pulls out when she has these mini feuds. The work on the leg was great, Himeka sold it well and then beat Mina with her own flash pin. Very nice middle of the card match. ***1/4
5226.06.2022vel7.0Given that the match was far from the most anticipated on the show, it was really good. Mina targeted her opponent's leg, which was logical, and Himeka did a good job on selling. She couldn't charge her powerful sholderblocks, but she still managed to win by rollup. Probably it's not the end of their story, and I'd like to see more Himeka's singles matches in future.
