Survival of the Fittest Qualifier: Billie Starkz defeated Lacey Lane
Athena walked out with Starkz but went to the back before the match started.
Winner heads to Supercard of Honor on May 15. Lane dove off the ring apron onto Starkz on the outside and took early control of the match.
Starkz hit a draping DDT on the ring apron and that put her on offense for a bit. Starkz played into the crowd getting on her and chanting for Lacey.
Starkz hit a series of tosses while holding onto the hair. She then missed a top rope senton to allow Lane to get back into it. She hit a super kick to a seated Starkz for a two count.
Starkz went down on an Irish whip and grabbed her leg, but you know, she’s faked a few injuries in her time. And it was a faked injury again this time. She hit a suplex on Lane and then a Senton after the faked injury and got a two count, which Lane countered into a pinning combination for a two.
Lane then hit a big boot and a springboard twisting elbow for a two count. Lane hit a suplex for another two count. She hit a variation of a flatliner for a near fall next. Starkz raked the eyes and got back into it. They exchanged pinning combos, strikes, and then Starkz hit a neutralizer and got the three count.
Survival of the Fittest Qualifier: Yuka Sakazaki defeated Viva Van
Viva hit a series of shoulder tackles to get the early advantage. Yuka then hit a dropkick that sent her opponent to the outside, and she followed that up by diving off the top rope onto Van.
Van hit a dragonscrew leg whip when they got back in the ring, then locked Yuka into a stretch muffler. Not long later she put Yuka in a high angle Boston Crab but Yuka got to the ropes.
Yuka made a comeback and hit a clothesline for a two count. Viva reversed a slam and hit a spinning heel kick moments later for a two count. She hit what I will call a somersault heel kick for another two count.
Yuka hit a series of strikes, Shit a spinning hammerlock slam and then put Viva in position and hit the Magic Girl Splash for the win.
