Pres. Okada announced a few days ago that they would be changing the card for May 18th due to illness and injuries, the new card shall be:
- Ranna Yagami vs Hina - pre-show
- Suzu Suzuki and Mei Seira vs Natsupoi and Starlight Kid
- Maika vs HANAKO
- Mina Shirakawa, Waka Tsukiyama and Xena vs Rina, Fukigen Death and Azusa Inaba
- Hazuki, Koguma and Momo Kohgo vs AZM, Miyu Amasaki and Lady C vs Yuna Mizumori, Aya Sakura and Sayaka Kurara vs Natsuko Toura, Momo Watanabe and Thekla vs Syuri, Saki Kashima and Konami - #1 contendership for the trios titles, gauntlet style
- Saya Kamitani © vs Saya Iida - High Speed Championship
- Mayu Iwatani and Hanan vs Tsukasa Fujimoto and Arisa Nakajima
- Willow Nightingale © vs Tam Nakano - AEW TBS Championship
- Saori Anou © vs Ami Sohrei - Wonder of STARDOM Championship
For anyone who keeps up, does this seem like a pretty good replacement card? I imagine having to change stuff because of injury has gotta be one of the more stressful things in wrestling.
I definitely hope to catch some clips of Willow and Tam.
Ranna Yagami vs Hina, Hina was swapped in for Rian. Rian is new (was a rookie v rookie match) so this may be a step up match wise (tho id expect Ranna would have won, now she’ll probably lose since Hina isn’t a rookie and just had a return)
The trios gauntlet, Fukigendeath, Rina and Xena seem to be out of it and in a regular trios match, so they swapped a few people around, dropped the #1 contender match for the tag belts and put those ladies into the #1 contender match for the trios belts, so we lost a match but the other is now a bit bigger.
We had Saki Kashima vs Waka Tsukiyama vs Hina, but they’ve been shuffled around into other matches.
Overall it’s mostly minor stuff, 1 less match on the card, mild shuffle, but all the big draw matches are untouched.
Edit: Should read my own typing, fixing a thing or two lol.
Oo, I see! Thanks for all that info.
