Early on Itoh&#8217;s attempts to fend off Kong carried the match as the monstrous legend used her strikes to keep Itoh down. Once Itoh fought back we got Sareee and Yamashita going at it which was easily the highlight of the match. Things broke down for the final stretch but all four continued to deliver a coherent match with a good pace and great wrestling<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ddtpro.com\/universe\/videos\/9215\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Link to watch: Wrestleuniverse<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>2.
