Storm and Matsumoto began the match with a handshake, but Matsumoto had no problem hitting Storm as hard as she could. The first segment of the match was a nice sequence of holds and reversals, but after a while Matsumoto began to use her size and power to dominate Storm. Storm had to persevere and fight back, but Matsumoto had an answer for most of Storm&#8217;s fight. In the end, this was a great match that really showed the strengths of both women.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nHow Kacy Catanzaro and Rhea Ripley got into the second round.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 2<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Mae Young Classic 2018 Second Round Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Kacy Catanzaro vs Rhea Ripley<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Aubrey Edwards)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e6037c3c1d3','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e6037c3c1d3\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e6037c3c1d3\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Rhea Ripley wins via pinfall after Riptide<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 7:04<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nOnce again, Catanzaro displayed an uncanny ability to do some very entertaining agile moves. She seems fearless, and even though not everything went exactly like she wanted it to, she is fun to watch. Hopefully she can get some good wrestling experience to support her flashy move set. Ripley had a tough tie dealing with Catanzaro in this, but it felt almost inevitable that Catanzaro&#8217;s high risk moves would cost her. A lot of the tension of this match was built around waiting for that moment that Ripley finally caught Catanzaro and put her down. I enjoyed this match.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nLacey Lane and Taynara Conti both think they have what it takes to move on to the next round.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 3<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Mae Young Classic 2018 Second Round Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Taynara Conti vs Lacey Lane<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Eddie Orengo)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e6037c3c232','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e6037c3c232\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e6037c3c232\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Lacey Lane wins via pinfall with a pinning crucifix bomb<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 2:39<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nThis was very short, and both women seemed a bit hesitant at times.

This was a display of experience, skill, and a bunch of great wrestling. Both women showed why they are two of the best in the industry. It&#8217;s too bad this match wasn&#8217;t later in the tournament, because I can&#8217;t imagine the next round being better for the winner here. Martinez looked strong and gave Satomura a fight she did not get in the first round. Satomura was in danger a few times, but she always seemed to be able to pull out a few devastating moves to regain control. I think this might be the best match of the tournament so far.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nA recap of tonight&#8217;s winners.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis was probably the best overall show of the tournament so far.
