Riho (C) vs Emi Sakura

Riho defended her title against her mentor Emi Sakura. Sakura had the size and strength advantage and it showed early on as Sakura tossed Riho across the ring by her hair. She followed it with a crossbody the launched Riho off the ring and onto the floor.

Sakura headed to the top rope but Riho blocked it right on time. The champion pushed Sakura and hit a double stomp from the top rope. Back in the ring, Riho had a single-leg crab locked in but she couldn't keep it locked in for too long.

Sakura was back on top and hit Riho with another Crossbody, this time into the corner. Sakura followed up with her patented Romero Special surfboard lock. "Let's go Riho" chants broke out in the arena as Sakura continued her dominance.

Sakura went to pin the champ again but Riho launched herself out of it and hit a double stomp. Riho followed it up with a number of right hands. She followed it up with a body scissors into another double stomp.

Riho went to finish Sakura off with the running knee but Sakura dodged it. The champion improvised and launched herself off the bottom rope to hit another double stomp. Riho headed to the top rope and hit one more double stomp, only getting a 2-count.
