Natsuko: "Well, what was it called, Giulia's Northern Lights Bomb? It was the first time I'd ever been hit by it, and it was incredibly powerful. I never want to be hit by it again. As I said in the ring earlier, I admit that I lost, even though I won the preliminary match. It's not like that. But, we did beat Giulia the other day. So it's one win and one loss now, we're even. Just because we won todaythe 17th. That's all I wanted to say."
