Pre-Show: “Sentai Daishikkaku” (English title “Go! Go! Loser Ranger”) The Stage Show Collaboration Match: Great Sentai Army: Ryusuke Taguchi, Yuji Nagata (w/“Red Keeper”) def Kaijin (Mysterious Persons) Army: “Fighter N”, “Fighter Y” (w/“Fighter F” [played by El Desperado] and “Fighter D”) — (7:48, Oh My & GarAnkle)
As the match name says, this was promotion for the soon-to-premiere stage play adaptation of a manga/anime, which El Desperado is an actor in. The other seconds were also cast members playing their characters, and more of the cast was shown watching from the balcony. Reasonable assumption is Y and N were Young Lions Yasuda and Nagai, but that’s not confirmed.
The seconds on both sides trade verbal barbs afterwards, but the Kaijin decide to put aside their differences for a promotional photo op.
Jakob Austin Young def Shoma Kato — (4:58, Jacob’s Ladder)
Kosei Fujita, Zack Sabre Jr. def Katsuya Murashima, Hiroyoshi Tenzan — (7:50, Clarky Cat)
In the backstage comments, Zack announces that we will see a new TMDK member debut at Destruction in Kobe on 9/29.
SHO, Ren Narita def Jado, Shota Umino — (8:56, knee bar)
Narita appears to have injured his right arm towards the end, not using it at all after landing a Hell’s Guillotine to Shota. Shades of Yuya with the High Fly Flow but hopefully not as bad.
Mad Bastards (Jake Lee & Gabe Kidd) def Tomoaki Honma, Tomohiro Ishii — (8:52, O-KNEE)
The brawl continues afterwards, mainly focused on Ishii.
Yoshinobu Kanemaru, Dick Togo, Yujiro Takahashi, EVIL def Tiger Mask, Boltin Oleg, Toru Yano, Hiroshi Tanahashi — (10:51, Figure 4 Leg Lock)
TAKA Michinoku, DOUKI def Gedo, Taiji Ishimori — (4:17, Just Face Lock)
Francesco Akira, Callum Newman, Jeff Cobb, Great-O-Khan def BUSHI, Shingo Takagi, Yota Tsuji, Tetsuya Naito — (11:14, Eliminator)
NEVER Openweight title: HENARE (c) def Hiromu Takahashi — (25:02, Streets of Rage)
Naito and Shingo come to help Hiromu to the back. But HENARE steps up to Shingo and holds up the belt.
Shingo takes the mic and says he wants a title shot at Destruction in Kobe on 9/29. HENARE says let’s go.
