KM:  Your Referee for this match, Ryu Takada.

Shinji:  The match we've all been waiting for!! Well Rex, Hotta's first title defense sure couldn't have been against a tougher opponent.

Shinji:  Terra dragging the champion to her feet and whipping her to the corner!! [Hotta collides back first as Terra follows in with a clothesline] OH!! What incredible impact that was!! Hotta looks out of it!!

KM:  5 minutes gone by in the time limit , 55 minutes remain!!
