She came in to face Syuri, the IWGP Women's Champion, the first two-time holder of the current belt's lineage, who was only medically cleared to be on the card two days prior, looking to take the title from her by putting the Strong title on the line as well. After a running foot on the outside to the face of Hiromu, followed by a second in the ring in the corner (shades of Sami Zayn), Lee picked up the win for his team, followed by a rejuvenated United Empire celebrating in the ring (with Jakob Austin Young and the returning Francesco Akira).
