NEO Global Tag League Block B:

Match 7: Yoshiki Inamura & Stallion Rogers beat Manabu Soya & Yuki Iino (DDT). Inamura pinned Iino after DIS CHARGE.
Main Event: OZAWA & Tadasuke beat Kazuyuki Fujita & Mohammed Yone. OZAWA pinned Yone after a swan dive moonsault.
Standings (Block B):
1-Marufuji/Kenoh, 3-1, 6 pts
2-Inamura/Rogers, 3-1, 6 pts
3-Soya/Iino, 3-1, 6 pts
4-OZAWA/Tadasuke, 2-2, 4 pts (OUT)
5-Fujita/Yone, 1-3, 2 pts (OUT)
6-KENTA/Inahata, 0-4, 0 pts (OUT)
The winners advance to the Finals. It’s almost certainly going to come down to tiebreakers and who wins the Marufuji/Kenoh-Inamura/Rogers match. The simple: Inamura/Rogers advance is they win. The not-so-simple: If Marufuji/Kenoh win, Soya/Iino must lose for them to advance. If Marufuji/Kenoh and Soya/Iino both win, Soya/Iino advance on tiebreakers (they beat Marufuji/Kenoh). OZAWA/Tadasuke can’t advance because they lost to both Marufuji/Kenoh & Inamura/Rogers despite beating Soya/Iino, plus they would need to win AND have a no contest in the other match.
The next event is tomorrow at Kasai Sports Center in Aomiri with the last day of Block A. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin TONIGHT at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET.
