Nothing in wrestling is more exciting than a true changing of the guard. Mayu is one of the most loveable wrestlers ever and this was the moment for her! Io dominates early, but Mayu fought from underneath and took risks to finally win the gold! Her neck targeted offense ruled and by the end you were concerned Io was legit injured. A truly amazing moment at the end with Mayu winning. The first big Stardom match I fell in love with watching in real time.

I like how they set a serious tone at the start of the match. About half l way through Io starts selling in a way that conveys she’s in deep water now. Really great work from her. Memorable finish and postmatch as well.
