(C) Nyla Rose Vs. Hikaru Shida
The bell rings and Nyla is holding a Kendo stick but Shida kicks her until she drops it. Shida then hits her with the Kendo stick but Rose rips it from her and returns the favour. Rose hits a body slam for a one-count.
Shida hits a running knee to the face of the Champion, then drags her under the bottom rope and hits another running knee. Rose whips Shida into the barricade, then holds her foot on her throat. Shida starts to fight back as Rose pulls a table from under the ring, but Rose then lifts her and throws her over the railing through a poker table.
Rose hits Shida with a chair, then dumps her over the barricade again. Rose slams Shida and lands on her with a splash for a two-count. Shida makes a comeback but gets knocked from the ring. Shida tosses Rose over the barricade and tries to suplex her onto the poker chip but can’t lift her, so hits a hip toss instead. Shida hits a running knee into a standing poker chip.
Shida gets a hold of her Kendo stick and hits Rose in the arm with it, then sends her back into the ring. Shida beats Rose with the Kendo, then hits a brainbuster, followed by a running knee for a near-fall. Shida lands some hands but runs into a powerslam. Rose dumps Shida on the top rope and hits a flying knee. Rose then brings a table inside and props it in the corner. She drops Shida with a lariat, then lifts her for a powerbomb through the table for a near-fall!
Nyla goes up top but Shida throws a Kendo stick at her, then goes up and hits an avalanche Falcon arrow for a near-fall. Shida looks for a running knee but Rose hits her with the Kendo. Shida no-sells it and hits the running knee for a near-fall. Shida hits Rose with a Kendo stick in the face, followed by another running knee and wins!
