Momo, Persephone, Athena, and Willow all tore it up. It was hard to watch the whole match as I was busy applying makeup. I will watch it in its entirety the first chance I get. I’ll say this: when I popped my head up from doing my lashes, here is what I saw. Willow is in the best shape ever, showing a blend of speed, agility, and strength that is so rare, not to mention a charisma and charm you can’t teach. Athena is likewise strong and agile. She’s on another level. Old friend Momo, who ultimately won and rightfully won in her home country, continues to show why she harkens to Aja Kong and other Japanese legends. Then there is Persephone – the mystery ingredient in the secret sauce. I don’t know much about her or her work, but there is a unique mix of strength, aerial skills, and personality that I could not ignore. Let’s keep a close eye on her as well.
