Main Event: Asuka(c) vs Io Shirai - RSW Women's Title & XWA Femme Fatale Title- Submission Match
The announce team puts over how this is the first time a Women's Match headlined a Major Show in XWA. Despite how physical their matches have been these 2 former partners seem to have maintained respect for one another. No handshakes but they give each other a slight head nod as the bell sounds. Despite it being a submission match neither woman tries for one for a while. Instead they trade strikes and some big throws. Io catches Asuka with the Shinkanesen Attack (Corner Double Knee Attack). She hits a few European Uppercuts Then looks to fire her to the far corner but Asuka reverses it and sends Io in instead. Then follows with a jumping hip attack. She snap mares her out the corner and hits a Soccer Kick to the back Then applies a Figure Four Headlock. The referee is asking Io but she's saying no. It takes a little while but Io is able to pry her head free.
Asuka remains on the attack, hitting a Double Chickenwing Sitout Drop. She then goes for the As-Kick. But Shirai ducks it grabs the plant leg and goes into an Ankle Lock. Asuka cries out in pain but wont quit. She struggles and gets to the ropes. Io hits a few calf kicks looking to wear down that leg. Then grabs the leg looking for a Dragon Screw Leg Whip but before she can execute the moves Asuka hits a desperation jumping enzuguiri. Then goes into a Flying Cross Armbar. Io is trying to keep her hands together. Asuka begins kicking at the far arm. Finally she separates them and Shirai is in big trouble. She is desperately trying to get to the ropes she reaches as far as she can and her toe of her boot touches the bottom rope. The fans applaud her effort.
Io is hurt and rolls to the floor. Asuka realizes she needs to not let her recover. She goes out after her. She takes the arm of Io and slams it across the guard railing. Asuka looks for another spin kick but Io dropkicks her knee. Shotgun Dropkick to the face of a kneeling Asuka. Io is shaking her arm trying to get feeling back. She ends Asuka back in. She gives Asuka a Brainbuster then hits The Trifecta (Moonsault off each rope in sequence). Shirai looks fired up as she puts Asuka in a Koji Clutch. Asuka's eyes are wide open as she knows she's in trouble. Due to the damage Shirai has taken to her arm she doesn't have the same strength and that little bit allows Asuka to hold out long enough to make her way to the ropes.
As soon as Io releases the hold she starts stomping the back of Asuka. She drags Asuka center ring then hits the Io Galaxy Meteor across the back. She lifts her up and puts her in a Torture Rack. She is torqueing it as best she can Asuka looks beat but wont say she quits. Then she wriggles her leg free and hits a Double Knee Backbreaker!. She goes into the Asuka Lock. Center of the ring! Io is looking around but see no way to the ropes. The referee Paul Turner is almost pleading for her to quit. She says nothing seems to go limp. He checks the arm once, twice... Three times!... But Io's arm shakes with life! She is unwilling to let it end. Asuka who has taken a lot of punishment is tiring as well and can't keep up the same pressure. Finally we hear the bell ring... The time limit has expired!
This Match is a Draw: Still RSW Women's & XWA Femme Fatale Champion: Asuka
(Both women are completely spent. The crowd is giving a standing ovation as these two proud warriors just stare at one another.)
