Anita Vaughan & Safire Reed vs. HANAKO & Maika

[7.0] "A solid back and forth tag match for sure. I do like Hyperactive from everything I've seen of theirs and I thought Maika did a great job while letting HANAKO look cool and hit big moves. Fun stuff. ***1/4"

[9.0] "I had such high expectations for this match when it was announced to cover for all the injuries that came about recently, and it absolutely rose to them. This was really, really good. Getting to see Maika and Hanako in person already felt huge, but they showed up and showed out here, and got to do it against one of the best tag teams the UK has produced, and one of our greatest exports, in Hyperactive. Considering this match was likely put together in the 11th hour, they did fantastically well here. Maika and Safire have brilliant chemistry, they just click together really well in the ring, and the hoss fights between Vaughan & Hanako were spectacular. I love when a powerhouse who can usually dominate a match has to earn their takedown, and Anita just bouncing off of Hanako was awesome. They struck the balance well of making Vaughan look strong, but outclassed physically, you never got the sense that she was weak, which is a hard line to walk. Safire tagging in to try out outdo her with speed, only for that to struggle too, was brilliant. Really well structured match narratively. In the end what it took was Hyperactive's teamwork to start to swing the tide of the match in their favour, althoguh even that wasn't flawless as the electric chair assisted splash thingy missed the first time. As the match progressed some of the pin fakeouts were brilliant, so many times I thought this was done. In particular, right towards the end, Hanako landed this insane powerbomb for a 2 count, which just looked ridiculous. I was not expecting Hai High Mate to walk away with the win here, but I am so glad they did, as it hopefully means we get to see much more of them in the UK. A spectacular tag affair, loved this."

[8.0] "Very good tag match as both teams are familiar with their partners as they're not some thrown together teams. Always appreciate the tag maneuvers of Hanako and Maika and Hyperactive are always fun to see in the ring. Wouldn't mind getting to see these two face off again sometime, perhaps in Japan?"

[8.0] "Really enjoyed this match as both teams are really impressive for different reasons. HANAKO & Maika have star power, presence and seasoned skills, whereas HyperActive offer a fast-paced variety and have truly blossomed since signing with Sendai a couple of months back. This one was back and forth, but pleased to see EVE put the titles on Hai High Mate as it means we'll get to see more of them in the UK."
