Shida fired back with some stiff strikes to earn some breathing room. The competitors traded blows, and Mizunami hit a leg drop for a two count. Shida persevered with a Falcon Arrow and two nasty knees to the head. Another Falcon Arrow earned the champion a two count. Shida poked Mizunami in the eyes, but the challenger still managed to roll her up for a near fall.
In the end, Shida hit one last stiff strike and stacked Mizunami up to pin her for the win.
After the bell, Nyla Rose attacked both competitors. Shida tried to fend her off, but Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. and Maki Itoh attacked Shida and her challenged. Thunder Rosa made the save and cleared the villainous trio from the ring.
It has all broken down post-match!
