G1 Climax 2020 Block A Takes Center Stage
The main event of the evening kicked off with Jeff Cobb taking on Shingo Takagi in a G1 Climax 2020 Block A match. The two powerhouses went at it, trading blows and near-falls before Cobb emerged victorious with a devastating top-rope splash at 11 minutes and 44 seconds.

Taichi then faced off against Minoru Suzuki in what was expected to be a hard-hitting contest. In the end, Taichi's quickness and agility allowed him to outmaneuver the veteran Suzuki, earning the win at 12 minutes and 11 seconds.
