Eight Man Tag Team Match: Ilusion, Masha Slamovich, Yuki Ueno and Yuni vs. Marcus Mathers, Maki Itoh, and Schadenfreude International
Masha Slamovich and Marcus Mathers began the match for their respective teams with a stiff lock-up. Masha tried to take him off his feet with a shoulder block, but he didn’t budge and caught her in a sunset flip situation, which she kicked out of. Mathers darted out of harm’s way as Masha threw strikes and tagged in the GCW Extreme Champion, Maki Itoh. Masha then tagged in Yuki.
Maki challenged Yuki to a test of strength. Yuki grabbed a headlock, but Maki was able to get out of it and did her signature pose. Yuki knocked Maki down, and she started to cry. Masada, Brookes, and Mathers followed suit, and even referee Adam Gault joined in on the crying. Yuni made the tag and got everyone to smile again, which led to them beating him down in the center of the ring. Maki’s team hit ten punches in the corner to their opponents, and Brookes started to beat down Yuni in their corner.
Yuni mounted a comeback, connecting with a big missile dropkick, and then made the tag to Yuki, who ran wild on Brookes with a big running knee followed by double knees to the midsection. Mathers hit Yuki with a rebound cutter followed by a bridging German suplex for a two-count. Mathers then went to the top rope, but he took too much time, allowing Yuki to get back up to his feet. They both went for clotheslines before exchanging a series of forearm strikes.
Masha and Maki each received the hot tag and unloaded on each other with chops and slaps. Masha was suplexed into the corner and hit with a Facewash, followed by an attempted swinging DDT, but Masha blocked it and planted Maki with a driver for another near fall. Masha went for a Death Valley Driver, but Maki managed to escape. Masha then tagged in Ilusion, who came off the top rope with a big dropkick followed by a palm strike to Masada into a DDT.
Brookes saved Maki only to be taken out inadvertently, but Maki planted Ilusion headfirst with a DDT. Yuni hit a moonsault to the floor, taking everyone out, followed by Masha hitting a tope, which earned them a standing ovation from the crowd. Mathers slid back into the ring and hit a beautiful dive, taking out his opponents on the floor. Brookes launched Maki out of the ring, then hit Yuki with a Praying Mantis Bomb. Maki followed up with a DDT, and Marcus Mathers finished with a 450 splash for the victory.
