Pre-Show Matches

The evening kicked off with a pair of pre-show matches, each boasting its own unique brand of excitement. In the opener, Anthony Greene looked to continue his winning ways against Taishi Ozawa. While Ozawa showed flashes of brilliance, Greene's technical prowess ultimately proved too much for him, securing the victory in 4:59.

Next up, Sugiura-gun put their collective might behind a six-man tag team match against Akitoshi Saito, Sean Legacy, and Yoshiki Inamura. This one was all about momentum and Sugiura-gun's trio of powerhouses – Hideki Suzuki, Saxon Huxley, and Timothy Thatcher – rode that wave to a decisive 8:13 win.

Main Card

As the main event segment got underway, fans were treated to an impressive display of tag team wrestling as Kongo and Jinsei Shinzaki teamed up against Atsushi Kotoge, Kaito Kiyomiya, Naomichi Marufuji, Ninja Mack, and Seiki Yoshioka. The ten-man free-for-all was a whirlwind of action, with Kongo's sheer strength and Shinzaki's cunning proving the difference-makers in their 14:21 triumph.

In a Three On Two Handicap match that defied the odds, Alejandro, Dragon Bane, and Dralistico combined forces to take down Alpha Wolf and Lanzeloth. The outcome was far from certain, but the trio's sheer aggression ultimately paid off in 7:41.

Title Matches

Next up, Shuhei Taniguchi and Takashi Sugiura put their GHC Tag Team Titles on the line against Daiki Inaba and Masa Kitamiya. While the challengers showed remarkable resilience, the defending champions' experience and teamwork proved too much for them, securing a convincing win.
