Kris Statlander vs Hikaru Shida
Kris Statlander was all over Hikaru Shida in the opening stages of the match, using her size difference to full effect. Shida briefly found an opening at ringside and set up a chair for her trademark move. However, Statlander caught her in midair and sent her straight into the barricade.
Back in the ring, Statlander drove Shida into the ring post before hitting the ropes and returning with a vicious running dropkick. Shida used her experience to find an opening and lock in a side armbar which forced Statlander to get the foot on the bottom rope. The Japanese star followed it up with a superplex from the top rope. She went to follow up with a running knee but Statlander dodged it and replied with an enzuigiri. Statlander got a nearfall off an Electric Chair drop at this point, coming within a second of winning the match.
