Goddesses of Stardom Championship
The New Eras (MIRAI & Ami Sourei) vs. 7Upp (Nanae Takahashi & Yuu) (c)

Yuu is one of my favorite tag wrestlers in the world. This pairing of Nanae and Yuu has worked surprisingly well so far, and this match was no exception. While many will not be fond of the finish, I think this was another great match.

God’s Eye tried rushing 7Upp early, but the strength of Yuu proved too much, at least at the beginning. Yuu tossed MIRAI to the floor and threw Ami onto her partner to establish an early lead. Nanae continued to make advances after tagging into the match, isolating MIRAI.

Then, as the referee’s count climbed, MIRAI landed a dive to the floor. Seeing a chance to close, God’s Eye fought to keep Yuu on the floor, eventually resulting in a count out to win the match.

Winner: The New Eras via Countout to become the new Goddesses of Stardom Champions.
