Kushida vs. Tama Tonga
Kushida manages to overcome the rough tactics of Tama Tonga, catching him with Back to the Future to get the pinfall. Tonga delivers the Gun Stun to Kushida after the match, a very sore sport about losing.
Kagetsu & Hazuki vs. Momo Watanabe & Utami Hayashishita
Hazuki manages to pin Utami after delivering a Frog Style Hip Drop from the top rope, smashing her down for the three count. Kagetsu and Kazuki show their opponents no respect after the match, kicking Utami from the ring, leading Momo go off and start throwing kicks and suplexes to beat them down and send them out of the ring! Momo is in the ring, motioning for them to come back in and fight, but Kagetsu and Hazuki laugh it off and leave.
Togi Makabe vs. Zack Sabre, Jr.
Sabre takes a beating in this match from the wild Makabe, taking shots to the ribs on the outside by Makabe as he swings his chain down to punish the British star. Sabre would manage to avoid a chain shot to the head in the ring and delivered a roundhouse kick, followed by a Northern Lights Suplex into a Cross Armbar, which earned him the victory by submission! After the match, holding his ribs in pain, Sabre was incensed and challenged Minoru Suzuki to a fight at "FEARLESS"! Suzuki would make his way out and tell Sabre he'd be happy to beat him to death. Shinpei Nogami on commentary takes that to mean the match is on, and he is very excited!
Sumie Sakai vs. Tam Nakano
Sakai gets back to her winning ways this week, using her villainous tactics and overcome the young Nakano and deliver her Smash Mouse for the three count.
Great Sasuke & Tetsuya Naito vs. Jay White & Hiromu Takahashi
This was a chaotic tag team match, with Sasuke and Takahashi bringing down the house again with their wild fighting styles. Naito and White have been going back and forth lately, with White managing to secure a win tonight, reversing the Destino and delivering a low blow, followed by the Blade Runner to get the win, while Sasuke and Takahashi were fighting on the outside.
Mayu Iwatani, Io Shirai, and Ayumi Kurihara vs. Meiko Satomura, Hiroyo Matsumoto, and Yoshiko Tamura
There was a lot going on here, as Mayu and Meiko gear up to face each other for the International Female title at "FEARLESS". Io Shirai feels Tamura cost her a chance at the title by injuring her knee after their match two weeks ago, and then distracting her last week against Satomura. Matsumoto lost her match to Mayu in that tournament after attacking her the week before, but Mayu attacked her from behind during her entrance, so these two really dislike each other. Kurihara has had a long history of issues with both Matsumoto and Tamura. Tamura would end up actually getting the win for her team, grabbing Shirai off the top rope, who is still recovering from her knee woes, and rolling her up with a Cross Legged Jacknife Pin, putting pressure on that knee to get the pinfall! After the match a big brawl broke out as Tamura continued to stomp on Shirai's knee, leading to big strikes and moves, before eventually we had a show down in the center of the ring between Mayu and Meiko. The two exchanged words but then ultimately backed off, and the tension can be felt here. Shinpei Nogami on commentary takes it that both women are showing some respect, as each wants the other to be at as full strength as possible, as neither wants any excuses in the end for becoming the first International Female champion!
Munenori Sawa & Kota Ibushi vs. Katsuyori Shibata & Hirooki Goto
Kota Ibushi would get the win for his team here, hitting a Phoenix Splash on Goto to get the victory! After the match, Shibata got on the mic and said that Ibushi has been a rising star, but his time to rise has ended, as Shibata says he wants to put him down and continue on his quest to become the World champion! Ibushi says that failure is in his future, as Kota says he will not stop until he is recognized as the best in ISPW, and it is Shibata who will be the stepping stone on his road to greatness! Shinpei Nogami yells out that it looks like we have another blockbuster match signed for "FEARLESS"!
Manami Toyota & "Mystery Partner" vs. Charlotte Flair & Mariko Yoshida
Charlotte and Mariko were out first waiting like vicious dogs, ready for Toyota and whomever she was bringing with her. And this turned out to be a HUGE REVEAL, AS OUT CAME KAIRI SANE TO A HUGE OVATION FROM THE CROWD!
SHINPEI NOGAMI IS GOING NUTS PUTTING THIS OVER ON COMMENTARY, AS FLAIR AND YOSHIDA ARE STUNNED! KAIRI SANE IS IN ISPW! This match was about as great as you are going to get for a 14 minute back and forth match, as Flair and Yoshida tried to keep their opponents down and punish them, while Toyota and Sane wanted to keep the pace up and keep their opponents off their balance. We saw both Toyota and Sane hit big dives in this match to get the fans on their side, chanting for them! Yoshida and Sane were down on the outside, as Toyota and Flair were on the inside, exchanging big shots, but it looked like Flair's size and strength might be too much, as she took Toyota down and delivered the Natural Selection! Flair would follow up by locking up Toyota in the Figure Eight, but Sane was back up on the turnbuckles and came off with the INSANE ELBOWDROP! Toyota rolled out of the ring and Sane made the cover for the three count! KAIRI SANE WINS HER DEBUT MATCH HERE IN ISPW, PINNING THE WORLD WOMEN'S CHAMPION! Nogami states that you really can't do much better than that as the show comes to a close.
