Perhaps Toni Storm's beating went a little too far, and Hiroyo Matsumoto tried too hard to play to the crowd again instead of being a proper heel, but this match was too strong for those flaws to bring it down. It was well worked by both women, who have had experience with each other in the past.
Hiroyo Matsumoto plays a convincing monster. She thrashed Toni Storm for minutes on end in this match. Toni's comebacks didn't look like they'd be enough. Only a bit of luck seemed to save her, as she got her foot on the bottom rope after a nasty suplex from her opponent.
Toni Storm would eventually hit a picture perfect bridge pin to survive, rather than defeat, her opponent. Matsumoto's anger and shock at the loss were palpable.
This kept Toni Storm as a babyface favorite while also keeping Hiroyo Matsumoto strong in defeat. Though it didn't approach the level that the main event of the night did, it was still one of the best WWE women's matches of 2018.
