Show Notes

• Following the scheduled end of the Mina Shirakawa gauntlet match, Saya Iida came to the ring and asked for a chance to wrestle her. Mina agreed with it being given a one-minute time-limit. AZM and then Hanan followed suit before a huge chunk of the roster came out to fight Mina at once. This was given a five-minute time limit and resulted in a huge kick out from Shirakawa when the entire roster tried to pin her.
• Even though she was exhausted, Mina then called out Tam Nakano for an impromptu match, claiming she had never beaten her in singles action. Tam agreed, with that match being given a three-minute time-limit.
• Mina appeared at the end of the main event, which allowed the three original members of Cosmic Angels – Tam, Unagi and Mina – to perform the signature dance one last time with the original music.
