Kimura is still very angry at Nakano, and the two of them had to be pulled apart before the match started. Osaka is Natsu&#8217;s hometown, so she started the match with Shibusawa. The fight made it out to the floor early in the match, and Oedo Tai was able to control things from then on. Shibusawa took the brunt of the beating, but both she and Nakano had a very hard time with Kimura and Natsu. This was a strong showing for Oedo Tai.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 3<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Miranda &amp; Bea Priestly &amp; Nicole Savoy<\/strong> (Shimmer Champ) <strong>vs Jungle Kyona &amp; Xia Brookside<\/strong> (IPW:UK Women&#8217;s Champ) <strong>vs Toni Storm<\/strong> (Progress Women&#8217;s Champ, SWA Champ, World of Stardom Champ)<br \/>\n(referee: Daichi Murayama)<\/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_69e751fdf0c96','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_69e751fdf0c96\" 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_69e751fdf0c96\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: the match ends in a Time Limit Draw<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 15:00<\/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 \/>\nGood match. I liked all the different combinations of match-ups here. Kyona and Savoy were the only ones that really had any sort of rivalry going on, and the were kept apart for most of the match. Everyone else seemed to fight everyone else though, and that led to a lot of different types of segments in the match. This was fun, though I&#8217;m a little surprised they went to the full time limit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 4<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Konami &amp; Hiromi Mimura vs Momo Watanabe &amp; Io Shirai<\/strong> (Artist, Wonder Champ)<br \/>\n(referee: Barb Sasaki)<\/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_69e751fdf0ccb','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_69e751fdf0ccb\" 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_69e751fdf0ccb\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Io Shirai forces Hiromi Mimura to submit to a Texas cloverleaf<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 10:03<\/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 \/>\nGood match. Mimura wanted to prove something by going against Shirai in this match and that didn&#8217;t go so well for Mimura at first. Shirai basically shrugged off Mimura for a lot of the match. Watanabe and Konami had a good fight that involved a lot of kicks, and that was the more evenly contested part of the match. Late in the match, Mimura did manage to catch Shirai with a few moves (with some help from Konami), but the ace of Stardom was too much for her. I&#8217;m not a huge fan of Mimura, but I think her shtick worked pretty well in this match.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 5<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>ROH Women of Honor Title Tournament First Round Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Jenny Rose vs Kagetsu<\/strong> (Goddess Champ) w\/ Hana Kimura (Goddess Champ), Sumire Natsu<br \/>\n(referee: Daichi Murayama)<\/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_69e751fdf0cfd','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_69e751fdf0cfd\" 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_69e751fdf0cfd\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Kagetsu wins via pinfall after the Oedo Coaster<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 8:37<\/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 \/>\nGood match.
