Giulia, Himeka, Maika, Mai Sakurai & Natsupoi vs. Hikari Shimizu, Mina Shirakawa, SAKI, Tam Nakano & Unagi Sayaka

[5.0] "Everything that happened after Natsupoi super-kicked Giulia on the apron was so hilariously overly dramatic, they really tried to sell this turn like it's the biggest thing ever. I remember that the story of December's ladder match for Artist titles was really all about Natsupoi, but she still found a way to be 6th most interesting/important wrestler in that match, so here they decided to eliminate everyone else who could steal her spotlight and made sure that everything is about her - it didn't help, she's still a replaceable mid-carder just like at least half of current STARDOM roster members. Donna del Mondo is 'we look cool on photos' faction (that's their identity, if they have one at all), Cosmic Angels is also pretty much all about their looks, so that endless post-match promo only added to meaninglessness of it all. When those big singles matches that they're building to are over, they don't end up being memorable and they're not elevating anyone involved to the next level, they just come and go which is the biggest problem in current STARDOM - without memorable matches all those promos and angles mean nothing, they only make me less excited for 'big' matches. Before the turn everyone else got their shit in, but Maika stood out the most - she eliminated Sayaka and Shimizu with Michinoku Drivers back-to-back."

[8.0] "I'm in love with the final decision. The match had both good and bad moments, but the result was super right considering Poi's storyline. She already needs to become a top champ, which she couldn't do in DDM."

[7.0] "Why does a 27 year-old call older women with more Puroresu experience 'chan? ' Is it a joke? Anyway, unlike almost all of the male wrestling federations, save for Dragon Gate, Stardom fully documented and then verbalized the transference of a competitor's loyalty from one faction to the other. The story was how Natsupoi mirrored a younger Nakano, so N joining CA makes sense to me. The match itself was forgettable, and if it mattered the other DDM girls would have interfered as they had in years past, but what happened was righteous. A good, complete presentation even-if Himeka should have verbalized how-much her own behavior towards Natsupoi changed from late '21 to early '22. Cosmic Angels is now overpopulated, but that should be a different twist for a different day. The match was 3 or under, but this watch was a 7."

[8.0] "The usual action-packed Stardom multi-man tag match where everyone's charms are distilled into a fufilling whole, underpinned by the Tam and Natsupoi's drama. ****"

[7.0] "The action was pretty good but the last seconds of the match stole the show. Natsupoi turning on DDM was a real shocker and made kind of sense. Nicely done and love to see Cosmic Angels stable grow. Some may think they? re to many now."

[7.0] "This was fine. I am just here to talk about the swerve and Poi betraying Giulia and MaiHime and DDM as a whole. She apparently thought that she was being treated like DDM's 'pet' which... is kinda true? She fits more with Cosmic Angels anyways, and Tam now truly has a 2nd. Unagi has improved and surpassed Mina but she isn't Poi, and who knows if she ever will be. Just like Stars has Hazuki and in the future Hanan, QQ has AZM AND Kamitani, and so forth. I kinda wanna rewatch every Tam/Poi match. ***1/2"

[5.0] "A very average match with nothing to shine, thanks of the slow pace of the Cosmic Angels but the Natsupoi joining CA was an awful decision"

[8.0] "All I really want to say about this match is that if Cosmic Angels vs. Donna Del Mondo is not one of the best wrestling feuds of the last 5 years, then I don't know what to tell you. They just keep finding more ways to add fuel to the fire with all the twists & turns in that feud, along with the epic battles. I was totally shocked by what Natsupoi did. Funny enough is that I do see her fitting in with Cosmic Angels."

[8.0] "I can't tell you how throughly depressed I am that MaiHimePoi is dead, but this match, and the subsequent post-match promo, was textbook storytelling. Natsupoi now comes off a bigger star than she has since she first came to Stardom. Brava!"

[5.0] "I mean, this could have been worse. Actually, it was a littel better than what I expected. But the final turn in the story was aweful, after a shock like that, they only grab a mic and start talking."

[7.0] "Even though I already knew Natsupoi left Donna Del Mondo and joined Cosmic Angels, it still surprised the living shit out of me! The match was pretty good and every elimination was very well done, but the 2-on-1 closing stretch was easily the best part in this whole match. Also, one could expect this to be a long and tiresome match, but it was fast-paced and entertaining. ****"

[8.0] "Good match elevated by the absolutely shocking ending. I liked the callback to Giulia and Tam eternal hatred for one another."

[7.0] "I have to be fair and rate this as a match and not as what unfolded near the end of it and in the post match. I was expecting a near 30 minute match with lots of drama near the end once again with Tam and Poi but instead Stardom caught me completely by surprise for the first time in a long time. I never thought they would have Poi join CA. I thought maybe they would respect each other in the end, shake hands and that's it but they really went all the way with it and I'm very happy. I love both Tam and Poi and can't wait to see them on the same team. Exciting times ahead. ***1/2"

[9.0] "What a pleasant surprise this match was. I expected a long, drawn-out match with a fiery aftermath that would set up a future match for reasons. Much to my surprise, it was only 15 minutes, had some quick elimination streaks and best of all, a huge and shocking swerve of an ending. The match itself was fun, but the aftermath was seismic and will have big ramifications. For a seemingly throwaway multi-woman tag on a b-PPV, this was exemplary from a booking perspective, with a long but fitting and emotional aftermath that will be remembered for a long time. The match was an 8, but the combination of the good booking, as well as that unforgettable ending, elevates it to a 9 for me."
