Result:Hikaru Shida defeats Ford, Riho, and Statlander

Note: I did not attended this show live, but I do average at least one wrestling show per week. Follow the Minutes to Bell Time Instagram to see my experience.

Match: Ford attacked Riho before the bell and sent her to the outside. JR made a point of saying that this match has a 20 minute time limit. Kip Sabian pulled both Shida and Kris Statlander out of the ring, and they beat him up. All of a sudden, Riho hit a dive from the top turnbuckle to the floor on all three women. Back in the ring, Shida hit a suplex on top of Riho.

Shida poked Statlander in the eyes and rolled her up for a two count. Everyone then took turns hitting top rope moves on Kris Statlander (Penelope Ford missed). Ford hit the handspring back elbow on Riho. Due to the fact that Kip Sabian continues to interfere, Riho continues to knock him down.

Statlander slammed Riho face first onto Hikaru Shida. Penelope Ford hit a reverse-rana on Shida, but Shida hit Ford with the Falcon Arrow. Shida pinned Penelope Ford after a running knee.
