Absolute Nth. This was both a great match in its own right and a great calling card for the AEW women's division.

Yeah, go on then. It dipped slightly because of the ending, but this was a very fun encounter.

It was a DDT show yes. In fact all TJPW, DDT and NOAH matches should be filed under "CyberFight" imho because it's technically correct, it'll make categorising CyberFest matches easier and most importantly, it'll make it easier to beat NJPW.

It's ok, instead we can all decide every Maki Itoh match is an MOTYC
