A singles match between Kashima Saki and Hamabe Matoi. Will this be a chance for Kashima to vent her frustration after failing to take the title at high speed under the new rules? Or will Hamabe leave her mark on the tricky Kashima?
Kashima refuses the handshake and the bell rings. Immediately, Kashima extends her hand, saying, "Nice to meet you!" Hamabe responds with a smile and rolls her up. When she counters, she delivers four consecutive dropkicks. Kashima escapes to the outside of the ring. Hamabe catches her and brings her back to the ring, but Kashima goes under the ring from the other side. Hamabe chases her back and gets her back in the ring. Kashima again goes under the ring from the other side. Kashima replenishes herself with water and creates some distance outside the ring. As the countdown to the outside of the ring speeds up, Kashima hurriedly returns to the ring and complains to the referee. "Let me rest for a bit," Kashima stomps on Hamabe and body slams him. When Hamabe counters, Kashima kicks him and says, "You're wearing a costume that looks like an Ehime mikan orange!" Kashima calls Hamabe a mandarin orange and hits him with a big boot. Hamabe hits him with a series of elbows, and Kashima retaliates with a soccer ball kick, inflicting damage herself. Hamabe announces a dropkick and prepares for a body slam. Kashima counters, but Hamabe blocks the series of elbows. Kashima feints and steps on Hamabe's foot, but is body slammed. Kashima returns with a counter elbow, and Hamabe throws him over the shoulder. Kashima returns with a series of elbows and a double arm suplex. Hamabe rolls him up repeatedly, followed by a big boot and a diving foot stomp. Hamabe turns around and rolls him up. Kashima returns with a high kick. Hamabe returns with a double arm facebuster, and Kashima is slammed with a huge punch. The three count gives Kashima the win. After the match, for some reason, Kashima praises Hamabe for his good fight and lends him her shoulder as she leaves the ring.
