This is Watanabe's the first single's title challenge and main event of her career so the match is really a showcase for where she is at as a worker at this point. Momo gets off to an aggressive start as she attacks Iwatani during the intro and manages to get a nearfall off while Mayu is still wrapped up in streamers. Iwatani plays the role of arrogant veteran which actually allows them to build up Watanabe for a potential upset as anytime Mayu takes Momo a bit too lightly she pays for it. In fact, during the stretch run they manage to pull off some really convincing nearfalls that get the crowd to buy in. Watanabe lacks that home run finisher though so she can't put Iwatani away, which allows Mayu to comeback and get the win after a nasty dragon suplex. ****

High Speed Championship: Mayu Iwatani © vs. Momo Watanabe

 

This was magic. Momo puts on a spectacular performance in her first title match. Mayu wrestled like she had some place else to be until Momo shows that she is to be taken seriously. Everything just falls into place here, it is mesmerizing. ****3/4
