Last year's champion, Momo Watanabe, clashed with Ami Sorei. After a quiet start, she took the fight outside the ring and threw Sorei into the audience. She then applied a modified camel hold and stomped on Sorei's face, taunting her while Sorei was immobilized
With a record of 1 win and 1 loss so far, Sorei is desperate to take the lead with a victory. He targets Watanabe's right knee, which is prone to injury, but Watanabe keeps checking the condition of his knee and throws a series of right middle kicks
After that, he was subjected to an Argentine backbreaker and a superplex, putting him in a difficult position, but he refused to let his opponent finish him off with a lightning strike. With less than two minutes remaining in the match, he landed a Tequila Sunrise, and finally sealed the victory with a Peach Sunrise
This makes it three wins in a row to start the season. Upcoming matches are Starlight Kid at the Utsunomiya event on August 2nd and Saya Kamitani at the Korakuen Hall event on August 3rd, both HATE stablemates
Holding the microphone, Watanabe declared, "I'm Watanabe Momo, last year's champion. I have a tough three-match series starting today. I'm already in terrible shape from the first day. Whose fault is it? It's Sorei Ami! Don't mess with me. I'm going to win all three matches and become the first person in history to win two consecutive titles. Just you wait, you bastards!" She then turned her attention to her match against Kid the following day
