Chop by Mota and he kicks Sartain in the side of the head. Mota chokes Sartain using the top rope and throws Sartain out of the ring.

Scoop slam by Mota and he hits the Flashing Elbow. Mota applies a neck nerve hold and then moves to the arm. Mota hits Sartain in the back of the head and pushes down Sartain's head with his boot. Snapmare by Mota and he applies an abdominal claw. Rib breaker by Mota, he nails the moonsault and picks up the three count! Your winner: Great Mota

Match Thoughts: Did you know that Muta has been doing martial arts since he was six years old? This match was a bit longer than other Muta squash matches but Sartain was still pretty damn ineffective. I still think the abdominal claw is a pretty lame move for a Japanese martial arts machine, even if they did try to put it over on commentary. Beyond that Mota continued to look good and impress both the commentators and the crowd with his moves and quickness. Score: 5.0
